BERLIN VACANT LOTS
ARE POTATO PATCHES
Women Of Mobility AID In Rails
Ing All Kinds Of Vegetables.

Berlln.-Governor Pingree's potato
patch plan, tried by the Michigan gov
ernor many years ago, Is being copied
In Berlin, where a movement. support
ed by many women Of high position, to
utilize all available garden plots and
vacant land In greater Berlin as truck
farms for the immediate raising Of
vegetables has been set on foot. 1t II
the consensus OF opinion that the pres
ent war requires ONE such step.
To accomplish this purpose 1t IL pro-
posed to enlist the aid OF all available
truck farmers and agricultural experts
and to get them TO give instruction In
vegetable raising and as far as possible
assist In the actual work. 1t IL expect
Ell that 1t viii not be dificult to inter
est women In large numbers to carry
on the work Of feeding the people.
Women willing to assist, 1t II pro-
posed, will irst take a short free course
at the Royal Gardening institute. The
installation and preparation Of courses
are In the hands Of the war committee
on vegetable raising. Interested In the
movement are such women AZ the wife
Of the minister of war. Frau Wild Won
Hohenborn; Countess Won Brockdorff,
the empress chief lady In waiting;
Fraulein Won Gersdorn and Frau Won
Boetticher, the widow OF the late min
lister OF state.
Berlin is the scene at this time OF nu-
merous meetings, largely attended by
women OF every class, at which ways
and means of more economical living
are discussed by prominent physicians.
The women are being urged to cut
down the consumption Of meat by at
least Is per cent and to resort more to
the use OF milk. The women are asked
to think Of the men In the field and the
hardships they have to endure, II econ
omy In eating seems to be too difficult.

SIOUX CITY LIVESTOCK MARKET

Sioux City. April S.-Receipts of
cattle were moderate for a Wednes-
day. some 81 cars, or 100 head, as
against 1857 a week ago and 9SS
the corresponding day a year ago.
Prompt action was had for all
grades of killing cattle this morning
and recent advances were firmly es-
tablished and in spots prices were
loo higher. Quite a little inquiry
was had from shippers for both steers
and she stuff and this tended to make
the deal a lively one during the en-
tire session.
Stock cattle sold at practically the
same terms as on the previous day
and are u~nevenly higher than at the
close of last week.
Buyers forced prices a scant nickel
lower in the hog department. Tops
landed at $685.. while the bulk OF the
sales ranged from $3.50 $50.
Only a very small assortment of
sheep and lambs were at hand today
and for the most part prices paid for
stock showed little or nj change as
compared with yesterday.

ShuSter Discusses Her Attitude
Toward Eastern Questions.
DOESN'T WANT PHILIPPINES
Says Views Are Identical With Those
Expressed by President Monroe.
They Have Become crystslIixed In
Past Few Years and Began imms-
diatsiy Following War With Russia.

Wsshington.-In testifying before the
senate Philippines committee on the
Jones bill providing for the ultimate
independence Of the Philippine Islands,
w. Morgan Shuster remarked that the
attitude OF Japan toward far eastern
questions was consistent with a well de-
fined Monroe doctrine of It's own. The
phrase has attracted considerable at
tention. For that reason Mr.. Shuster.
The Madison daily leader. [volume] (Madison, S.D.) 1890-current, 1915-04-09

who occupied for nearly nine years
important government posts I'm the
Philippines and later served as treas
urer general of Persia, was asked to
explain the phrase.
I'm many respects Japan's attitude
toward her sphere OF influence In the
far east and our policy as expressed
by President Monroe are Identical"
said Mr.. Shuster. Both countries are
very much I'm earnest In enforcing
these policies.
"Japan's Monroe doctrine, as 1t may
be called, has taken form within the
past few years. 1t dates. | should say.
from the close OF the war with Russia.
scarcely earlier. As a result OF this
conflict Japan greatly widened her po-
litical horizon. Her victory over Rus
ndent OF her power TO exercise a de-
cisive influence over the. general re-
gion within which lie the Philippines.
Japan Is today without question the
first power I'm the orient. She domi-
mates the far east much as the United
States because Of Its wealth, size and
power occupies the first place on the
American continents. And, like the
Americans, the japanese are a very
high spirited people. They have a
pride OF their own
ANY e~ncroachment upon this sphere
by foreign powers would arouse much
the IN spirit OF distrust or resent
ment as we should feel at a similar
encroachment In the western hemi-
sphere. / have no doubt that Japan
would back up her Monroe doctrine
should AFFAIRS reach an issue exactly
as we should back up our own policy.
Public opinion In Japan, as In the
United States, Is opposed to any plan
for Japan's colonizing the Philippines.
The japanese have no more idea Of
raising their flag In the Philippines,
for instance, than have we Of coloniz-
ing the Central or South American re-
publics. The Japanese have expert
mented with colonial empires In For
mosa and Korea, and they do not care
to extend the experiment.
The Japanese employ scientific
methods In their political plans, and
they have carefully investigated the
question Of colonizing in the tropics
and have decided against 1t. At the
time when 1t seemed possible that the
United States would part with the
Philippines the Japanese sen their
scientists to these islands to determine
IL they were suited for settlement and
development by japanese. The world
recognizes that the japanese do excel
lent research work. The japanese sci
entists decided that the Philippine Is.
lands did not offer the proper climatic
nese government and the people trust
their scientists.
"Still another point common both to
our own Monroe doctrine and the at.
titude Of Japan may be found In the
attitude toward the governments with
In the spheres Of influence. We Amer
leans are friendly to the small repub-
lies to the southwark and SO Is Japan

She would welcome a republic In the

AvIATORS LOST IN HAZE
Current Sweeps Four Machines Fifty
Miles Out Of Course-FinaIly
Reach Austin.

Austin, Tex.-Four aviators OF the
United States aero squadron, after
being lost for nearly two hours In a
haze on their flight from Waco to
Austin, discovered their bearings on
Nov. 20 and resumed their journey to
Austin. Two machines arrived hel y
on time. A third machine came in
soon after. and the other three were
then in the air headed for Austin, aft
er having drifted in the haze nearly
so miles westward of their course.
A strong upper air current carried
the machines far to the west, and
about 11:30-the time when the avia-
tors knew they should be due in Aus
tin-they began coming down In small
towns northwest of here to get their
bearings. Two %aeroplanes landed at
Lampasas, about 60 miles northwest,
and another at Kingsland, a small
town a little nearer Austin, to take a
new reckoning.
The two aviators who had arrived
in Austin sent out an alarm over the
telephone lines for the four belatei
filters. In the next hour many con-
flicting reports of aeroplanes landing
in various places were received.

ASK GREECE TO De MOBILIZE
Only Alternative In Allies Demand Is
That Greeks Jot" the Entente.-
Blockade Declared.

London.-The entente allies have
demanded that Greece either join with
them and fulfill her treaty obligations
to Servia or demobilize, and to impress
King Constantine that they mean what
they say the allies have declared a
commercial blockade Of the Hellenic
empire, according to Athens dis.
patches.
There is no confirmation Of these
statements here, but 1t is certain that
Lord Kitchener. the British war sec
rotary, who had an hours audience
with the king of Greece, and afterward
saw Premier Skouloudis, took a firm
stand.
The Greek cabinet met to consider
the situation. The Greek government
again has affirmed its friendliness to
the allies, but has not taken the steps
required to prevent Greece from being
counted among the FRIENDS of the
central powers.
The entente allies will not permit
any delay; the position of the Servian
armies makes any p%rolongation of the
present uncertainty impossible. AL
ready the Servians are making what
may be their last stand before Monas'

The nature of these special privl-
leges is not specifically stated, but as
an example Greece has been allowed
to draw her supplies of coal from
Welsh collieries. To do this Greek
merchants required special permits,
as the export of coal from the British
Isles Is allowed only under a special
license.
There are many other commodities
whose export Is permitted only to GER

This less vigorous attitude on the

Lord Kitchener's visit and the threat
