NOPROTEsT ON Jap DEMANDS
China Will Probably Be Allowed TO
Settle Matter Without Help from
the Powers.

Toxic, March 10.-The Japanese
government received not long ago
friendly inquiry from the United
States calling attention to the differ
ence between the Japanese and Chi
nese versions of the series of demands
made by Japan upon China, shortly
after Japan ousted the Germans from
their Kiao Chow concession, and which
for two months past have been a sub
Ject of negotiation at Picking.
In reply, Japan has communicated a
supplementary note to the great pow
ers, in which it summarizes the arti-
cles not included in its first statement
on this subject. Japan explains that
these articles, being in the nature of
requests concerning old and long pend
ing questions between Japan and Chi
ma, it had not felt previously any obIi-
cation to impart them to the powers.

GERMANY SAYS SHE is SORRY
kaiser's Government Regards the
the Sinking of an American Ship
as Entirely Unwarranted:

Amsterdam, March 13.-The Ger
man government regards the sinking
of the American ship William P. Frye
by the Prinz Eitel Friedrich as entire
ly unwarrantable, according to dis
patches from Berlin today.
The news has created the most pain
full impression in official circles at
Berlin. A strong protest is expected
from Washington, although none has
as yet been received.
This protest, when it is made. will
be met in a most conciliatory spirit
and Germany will assure the Washing
ton government that Captain Thierich-
ems acted solely upon his own respon-
sibility, the Berlin dispatches asserted.
Officials united in ascribing the act
to 1.-The unfortunate zeal of an excit-
able captain
Berlin was astounded when the re-
port first arrived from America Until
a short time ago reports had been re-
ceived indirectly from the Prinz Eitel,
but none Of them contained mention of
any attack upon a neutral ship. 1t
was assumed that Captain Thierichens
was raiding only enemy merchantmen.

FEED FOR THE GRAFT FoALS
Younsster Makes one-HaIf His Mature
Weight First Year of His Life
Ration From Wisconsin.

The feeding Of draft foaIs is a very
important matter One only appre-
ciates this when he realizes the fact
that a draft foaI makes one-half his
mature weight the first year of his
life. The foal must be fed, not starved,
If he is to develop into q good draft
horse. The foal fed an improper and
unpalatable ration the first winter
usually has big middle and two very
poorly developed ends
Considerable attention has been
given TO feeding draft foals at the
University of Wisconsin the last few
years. At one year OF age they have
weighed from 1000 to 1000 pounds.
These foals were all accustomed to q
small amount of grain before FIVE
months Of age when they were weaned.
After weaving they were given the
following ration until turned on grass
at about thirteen months of age.
Ration for 100 pounds mixed feed:
65 pounds crushed oats, 10 pounds
corn meal. 10 pounds bran, Is pounds
finely cut alfalfa or clover.
They were fed all of this mixture
they would eat three times a day
and were given no hay other than that
in the mixture until they were about
one year old The amount Of this
mixture eaten per foaI per day varied
from 9 to Is pounds go TO 80 qua-ts)

TO PREVENT A GERMAN DASH
Interned Vessels Will Be Kept in
New York Harbor by United
States Warships.

Washington, March 12.-Although
recent official investigation is said to
have disproved reports that German
ships in New York harbOr since the
outbreak of the war were planning a
dash to sea, steps to protect the neu-
trality of the United States have been
taken by the navy and coast guard
departments.
Yesterday Secretary Daniels order
ed the destroyers DraytOn and Nc
Dougal up from Guantanamo to join
the gunboat Dolphin, which was or
dered from the Washington navy yard
Wednesday night to take up a watch
in New York harbor. The coast guard
service ordered the cutter Mohawk in
from its cruising ground to take
station off TompkinsvilIe to reinforce
the other coast guard ships in the har-
Dor.
Mr. Daniels said it was not the
present intention of the navy depart
ment to order other ships to New
York, and the only explanation Of
the fastest moves was that the ships
were being placed in the ordinary
course of taking precautions to safe
guard neutrality.

OIL MEN WASTE NATURAL GAS
Oklahoma City Man Tells Secretary
Lane of the ProdigaIity in
Usage Fields.

Washington, March 10.-Waste Of
natural gas in the Western oil field
was described to Secretary Lane today
by G. B. Ames of Oklahoma City, rep
resenting the Usage and Oklahoma
Gas Company, lessee of a big tract in
the Usage nation reservation, which
supplies the city of Tulsa, Ok. The
company leases its holdings from the
government and is seeking an extern
sion of the contract in common with
the big oi1-leasing concern of the reser-
walton, the Indian Territory Illuminat-
ing Oil Company.
Mr.. Ames said the waste in gas
throughout the oil fields had been ap-
palling with the exception of the
Usage field The reason for this, he
believed, lay in the large acreage of
the Usage lease and the small leases
outside that reservation. Small oper-
ators, he said, were compelled to drill
line holes" to keep rivals from tap
ping their supply, and the great waste
resulted.
The gas company is seeking a new
lease on a rental of $500 per well a
year as against 500 rental fixed in the
original lease, and it proposes that the
government revise rentals every five
years and increase them as the value
of the gas produced has increased with
growing markets.

4 GERMAN WARSHIP IN PORT
Armed Liner Prinz EiteI Friedrich in
Harbor at Newport News
Sank American Ship.

Newport News, Va, March 1.-THE
German armed liner Prinz Eitel Fried
rich arrived here yesterday. No one
knows the object of its visit further
than it needs coal and supplies. It
is also said to be in need of repairs
and may inferno here. 1t is said to
have 326 French and Russian prison
ers of war aboard. The Prinz Eitel
Friedrich was last reported at Val
paraiso, Chile.
The Prinz Eitel Friedrich brought
word that the American sailing ship
William P Frye, missing since last
November, when it left Seattle for
Queenstown with grain, had been
sunk because it was suspected Of
carrying contraband.
Captain Kiehne, his wife and sever
al of the Frye's crew are on board the
Prinz Eitel.
Collector Hamilton has made a full
report of the sinking of the William
P. Frye to Washington. Surgeon Kno-
neck of the Eitel told Customs Col
lector Hamilton that the Frye was
sunk in the South Atlantic, January
81, after the Eitel had taken off Cap
tain Kiehne, his family and all the
crew

MAY PROTEST IN FRYE CASE
United States Probably Will Demand
an Explanation From Germany
for Sinking Vessel.

Washington, March 12.-President
Wilson announced yesterday that "a
searching inquiry will be made into
the sinking of the American sailing
ship William P Frye by the German
auxiliary cruiser Prinz Eitel Friedrich.
This statement was issued at the
White house:
f'The president. when asked regard
ing the sinking of the American sail
ing ship, William P Frye, by the Ger
man auxiliary cruiser, Prinz Eitel
Friedrich, said:
ga most searching inquiry will be
made and whatever action is taken
will be based upon the result OF that
inquiry
Discussion Of the affair in official
quarters was taken to foreshadow a
strong protest to Germany against
the sinking of the American vessel
The contention of the German COM
mander that because the American
ship had contraband Of war aboard,
her destruction was justified, has
been set up as a plea in other cases,
but it never has been recognized by
the United States.

according TO age Much OF the time
the feed was dampened and thoroughly
mixed before feeding The advantages
Of the damp mixture seemed to be the
variety OF wholesome feed and the
relish with which it was slowly and
thoroughly chewed
Where one cannot feed so varied
mixture as that described. a ration of
20 per cent bran. cut alfalfa or cut
clover with so per cent crushed oats
fed as described viii prove very eTec-
tive. Foals do not appear TO be able
to make as good use of whole oats and
hay as an older horse. When fed
those feeds separately and whole they
eat less feed and have a greater ten
dency to pot belly"
1t is a practice Of some successful
Wisconsin breeders to feed literally
bran and crushed oats for grain three
times per day and hay and sorghum
stalks each once per day for roughage-
Combinations such as marsh hay and
corn should be avoided Although corn
silage can be fed to idle horses it
should only be given in a very limited
way or not at all to foals-
One cannot economic by limited
feeding Of the fOal What one saves
in feed the first year he sacrifices
from five to ten times in the final
value OF the animals Only well bred
draft foals are capable Of making 1000
pounds at one year and developing
into a good draft horse. 1t generally
does not pay to practice liberal feed
ing with mongrel or scrub animals
for there is but little margin between
the final value of the animal and the
cost of feed consumed
