London, Feb. -Four British mer-
chantmen, one of them the Ben Crua-
chen, have been torpedoed and sunk
by the German submarine U-21 off
Fleetwood, in the Irish sea- Their
crews, compelled to take to the boats,
were rescued by trawlers. One of the
other steamers sunk was the Linda
Blanche The British steamer Kill
coan and the Tokomaru were also re-
ported sunk.
A German submarine torpedoed and
sank the British steamer Kilcoan Is
miles northwest of Liverpool bar in
the Irish sea. A dispatch from Havre
tells of the sinking in the channel OF
the British steamer Tokomaru, carry
ing food supplies to Belgium, from a
mysterious explosion which is believed
here to have been caused by another
submarine The crew of 81 men were
rescued by the trawler Hooper and
taken to Havre. where they were
landed.
The steamer Graphic, reaching the
Mersey, reported that it had been
chased by a submarine, but owing to
superior speed it had managed to es-
cape. The passengers. and crew were
panic stricken. Fortunately, however,
the Graphic was able to outsteam the
hostile craft, which gave up the chase
once the mouth of the Mersey was
reached.
The members of the crew of the
Ben Cruachen we're able to save only
small portion of their belongings.
The Linda Branches complement we're
more fortunate. They we're permitted
to get all their personal effects and
to carry them with them into the
boats.
The appearance of the hostile sub
marines off the west coast of Eng
land came as surprise
News of this latest drive by the Ger
man navy reaching London is accept
ed as meaning that from now on all
British shipping will be in extreme dan
ger. So serious is the situation con-
sidered that the admiralty has already
taken steps to guard all incoming
transatlantic liners.
1t is admitted that the policy out
lined by Grand Admiral Won Tirpitz of
the German navy of torpedoing and
sinking all Of the merchantmen of the
allies who attempt to bring foodstuffs
into the British isles was in no way
an idle threat.
Already the entire British fiotilla OF
destroyers has been ordered out from
the various harbors all along the
coast. In addition the scout cruiser

rines. as it is realized that the U-21

KINGS SON IGNORES TolLERs.
OFFICIAL of United Mine Workers Says
institution Seeks to Substitute
Philanthropy for Justice.

New York, Feb. Coming almost
straight from the Office of John d.
Rockefeller, Jr, where he had a
Friendly chat" with him over condi-
lions in the mines of Colorado, John
r. Lawson, member of the executive
board of the United Mine Workers for
the district including Colorado, read
before the federal commission on in
dustrial relations on Friday scathing
indictment of Mr.. Rockefeller and the
attitude he had displayed before the
commission.
The policies and purposes of the
$100,00O,O0o Rockefeller foundation
and the recent utterances of young Mr..
Rockefeller on the witness stand We're
assailed by Mr.. Lawson.
In assailing the Rockefeller founda-
ton he asserted that one of the causes
of Industrial discomfort was that very
philanthropy and the feeling that the
millions spread over the world in
snowy generosity" were derived from
the money withheld from the wages
of the American working class"
Mr.. Lawson criticized young Rookie
Teller for his lack of knowledge of con-
ditions among employees of the Colo
RADIO Fuel company, and said he was
equally as ignorant and Indifferent
as his trusted executives"
your body can well afford to let the
testimony of John D. Rockefeller, Jr.,
bring your investigation to an end
Mr.. Lawson told the commission.
"Out of his mouth came a reason
for every discomfort that agitates the
laboring class in the United States
today, and if remedies are provided
for the injustices that he disclosed a
long step will be taken away from in
dustrial disturbance"

WILSON vETOES BILL
PRESIDENT WITHHoLDs APPRov-
AL or IMMIGRATION MEASURE.
Declares Llteracy Test and Restrlc-
lions Constitute Radical Change
In Nations Policy.

Washington, Jan. 30.-The immigra-
ton bill was vetoed on Thursday by
President Wilson in message to con-
gress in which he said:
In two particulars of vital conse-
quence this bill embodies radical de-
parture from the traditional and long
established policy of this country, a
policy in which our people have con-
ceived the very character of their gov
sion and spirit of the nation in respect
of its relations to the peoples of the
world outside their borders. 1t seeks
to all but close entirely the gates of
asylums which always have been open
to those who could find nowhere else
the right and opportunity of constitu-
tiGnal agitation for what they con-
ceived to be the natural and inaliena-
BILE rights of man; and it excludes
those to whom the opportunit. of ele-
mentary education has been denied,
without regard to their character, their
purposes, or their natural ca
pacity.
Restrictions like these, adopted
earlier in our history as a nation,
would have very materially altered the
course and cooled the humane ardors
of our politics.
"The literacy test and the tests and
restrictions which accompany it con-
st4tute an even more radical chtnge in
the policy of the nation. In this bill
1t is proposed to turn away from tests
of character and of quality and impose
tests which exclude and restrict; for
the new tests here embodied are not
tests of quality or Of character or of
personal fitness. but tests of oppor-
tunity.
IF the people Of this country have
made up their minds to limit the num-
Der Of immigrants by arbitrary tests
and so reverse the policy of all the
generations of Americans that have
gone before them, it is their right to
do so. l am their servant and have
no license to stand in their way. But
do not believe that they have.
Il have no pride of opinion in this
question. am not foolish enough to
profess to know the wishes and ideals
of America better than the body of her
chosen representatives know them.
onls want instructions direct from
those whose fortunes, with ours and
all mems, are involved"

POULTRY HOUSE SITE
Convenience Is Main Thing to Be
Considered.
Locate the Structure So That the
Strong Winds viii Be at Its Back,
With Windows In Front
Drainage of Importance.

The builder of farm poultry house
should carefully consider the available
sites, and put it where the fowls will
do best, and where 1t will be easiest
to look after them.
Convenience is the main thing to be
regarded on a farm where there is
much work to be done other than TAX
ing care of the chickens. Put the house
or houses close enough to the resi-
dence that it will be easy to look after
the inmates.
At the same time, all natural adj
vantages of location should be CON
sidered. If there is a sheltering hill
near enough to be used as a wind
break, place the house so the strong
winds from the west, northwest and
north will be Tended of by the higher
ground. Set the house so the wind
will be at its back, and this means, in
most localities, that the doors and the
greater number of windows should be
on the south, the southeast or the
southwest.
Where there is windbreak of trees
or even of buildings, take advantage
of them if the site is suitable other
wise. These windbreaks will make a
lot of difference in stormy, blustery
weather. There are many cold days
when the birds could very we'll stay
outside If they were protected from
high winds
Another thing to be watched is the
| problem of drainage. Damp, low
ground, no matter how well the hen
house will be sheltered, Is not suitable
| for chicken shelter. There should
be slope downward from the build
| ing to make certain that it will not be
damp and clammy on the inside.
Thorough drainage should be as
| sured even If 1t is necessary to lay a
few rods of thing. Where sandy and
naturally well drained site can be
chosen. the drainage will take care of
itself If nothing is done to hinder it.
Never build house in hollow as 1t
will be just about impossible to keep
the chickens healthy in such a struc-
ture
The building itself can be adapt
ed to the pocketbook of the builder.
Where the climate is not unreasonably
cold in winter, unreasonable from the
standpoint of poultry management,
the house may be built very cheaply.
1t must turn the rain, shut out drafts
and be dry under foot, but it need not
be heavy, built of expensive material
or very permanent in character.
In fixing on the site for the house
care should be taken not to get the
building or any part of it where it will
be Swallowed by any other building
or by dense clump of trees. The
sunlight should strike the building all

DAcIA SAILS; FACES CAPTURE
Captain Mcdonald Starts for Rotter-

Galveston, Feb. 1.-THE steamship
Dacia departed at noon Sunday from
Galveston for Rotterdam with 1900
bales of cotton to be transshipped to
Bremen.
The Dacia's cotton cargo is valued
by the shippers at $88O,000 or 16 cents
a pound laid down in Bremen.
The sailing of the Dacia is expected
to add another chapter to the inter-
national incident which was begun
when the former Hamburg American
line steamer was transferred from
German to American registry shortly
after the vessel was interned at Port
Arthur, Tex, following the outbreak of
the European war. Britain considers
the vessel contraband and has an

sILAGE GAINING IN FAVOR
Becoming More Popular for Feeding
Cattle and in Some Sections It
Is Almost a Necessity.

Silage for feeding cattle is becom-
ing more popular every year and
throughout many sections has become
almost necessity. There may be-
some districts in which roughage can
be more cheaply supplied in the form
of hay; but even then something sue
culent, in the form of silage or ROOTS.
is almost essential for the best results
know of no better combination than
clover hay and good corn silage. The
one seems to be the. exact complement
of the other. Both are very palatable
to cattle and should be fed separately
for the sake of variety.
A bunch of cattle getting a good
feed night and morning of cut straw
and silage. mixed IL hours before feed
ing, and all the long clover hay they
will eat at noon, is about as well on
for roughage as is possible. do not
know Of any other ration on which
cattle can be kept so full all the time
without putting them off their feed.
In the early part of the season very
little grain should be fed and the al
lowance gradually increased from
week to week. Many farmers waste
good deal of grain by overlooking
in the early part of the winter. 1t Is
an easy matter to ruin the digestion
of a steer by feeding too much corn
for any considerable length of time.
A mixture of grains will always give
better results than any single variety
fed alone If cottonseed meal and mo-
lasses are to be fed it is a good prac-
tice to keep them for a finishing ra-
ton.
