POINT BLANK N0TET0BE
Sent TO GERMANY SOON
(Unlted Press)

Washington, July 20.-In cabinet
meeting, regarded as the most mo-
mentous since the Civil War, Pres
ident Wilson and his advisors prac-
tically decided as to the future atti-
tude of the United States towards
Germany, and went over and over
the reply to the last German note.
Much reticence and point blank re-
fusal of what was discussed at the
cabinet meeting was given to news
paper reporters. It is reported that
President Wilson and Secretary Lam
sing have endorsed communication
much shorter than usual.

ment this morning, the first since
Sunday, a German army under the

(United Press)

London, July 20.-Ben Tillett, the
British personifcation of Mother"
Jones, "Bill" Haywood, Charles
Meyer and Samuel Gompers, all rolled
into one, is organizing another strike
in England
Tillett has conducted hundreds of
strikes. He's the one man who holds
British labor under his thumb. When
Ben Tillett tells British labor to
strike, British labor strikes. When
he told British transport workers to
strike two years ago, British trans
port workers tied up traffic facilities
of London and practically every i'm
portant industrial center.
Tillett today is organizing the big
gest strike he has yet attempted. His
latest strike is against the Germans
and he is urging every union labor
man in Great Britain to "get on the
job"
Preaching Bloody Murder"
I'm preaching bloody murder"

Workmen assembled at London in

It we don't strike now and strike
hard there is no use striking. The
capitalists must strike with us. If
we don't crush the Germans tomor-
row there'll be no capitalists. Every
man who can't get into khaki can
get into the workshops. We're fight
ing Prussianism; something that has
been preparing to murder civiliza-

PETR0GRAD'S FALL
IS NOT PROBABILITY.
Tendency in London to Magnify the
Collapse of Russian Troops, and
Credit Germans With Strength.
KAISER MUST UNITE HIS ARMIES
Will Meet Disaster Should He Attempt
to Advance in Four Widely Seper-
ated Areas Ammunition Low.
BY ]. w. T. MASON.

New York, July 2O.-Reports that
the Germans are now on the offensive
along the entire eastern battlefront
of 1000 miles are probably untrue.
A tendency is discernible in London
to magnify the collapse that has ov-
ertaken the Russians. The Germans
apparently are being credited by Eng
lishmen with possessing superhuman
ability and even Petrograd's fall is
being mentioned in England as a fu-
ture possibility.
Will Meet Failure.
No such Interpretation of the mill
tary events in the east is possible ex-
cept under stress of deep pessimism.
II the Germans attempt to advance
in four widely separated areas, as is
said to be their present purpose, they
must fail. The lack of success which
has followed the division of Marshal
Won Mackensen's forces after the fall
Of Lemberg is warning to the Ger
mans as to what they must expect
if they increase the two objectives
which Won Mackensen attempted to
four.
Lack Ammunition.
The operations now proceeding in
the Baltic provinces, which are the
cause of England's fear for the safe
ty Of Petrograd, cannot possibly be
on major scale if, at the same time,
the Germans persist in their drives
against Warsaw from northwest and
southeast, and continue as we'll as
the final operations in eastern Cali
cia. There is not enough ammuni-
tion in Austro-Hungary and Germany
to permit so gigantic an undertaking
to succeed.
Will Go Toward Again.
Nor is it at all likely that there
is even enough ammunition to permit
advances to be made on Warsaw from
two directions. Either Won Macken=
sen must remain quiescent in the
southeast or the northwestern often
sive must be content with purely local
gains. ,
In all probability Won Mackensen
will try to go forward again and his
offensive will continue to be the
major thrust against the Russian
line. In that case the northwestern
activity now being credited in Lon
don to Won Hindenburg is no more
than diversion, planned for the pur-
pose of preventing the Russians con-
cen trating the greater part of their
forces against Won Mackensen's ad-
vance.

LITTLE FRUIT TREE DOCTORS
Instinct Which Leads Them Uner-
rinqly to Locate Cooling Moth or
Apple Borer 10 Sure and True.

There are two woodpeckers every
farmer ought to know. They should
be as welcome as the family doctor
in time of need for their visits are al
ways paid to the sick. Unlike the
doctor, writes E., Young Wead in
Green's Fruit Grower, they come with
out being called and they require no
fee. The doctor can't live on worms;
the woodpecker can; and the bill
which he presents is inserted in the
tree and brings out nice, fat, juicy
grub.
Their surgical instruments are al.
ways with them, always clean, sharp
and ready for use, and their diagnosis
is always correct They never open a
body in the wrong place only to find
that the seat of the trouble is some
where else. The instinct which leads
them unerringly to locate a cooling
moth or apple borer is sure and true,
and though after one of their visits an
unsightly wound may be left, the
health of the tree will be vastly i'm.
proved.
The hairy and the downy woodpeckers
are pretty birds, common throughout
the United States. They have breasts

HINTS FOR THE HORSE LOVER
Narrow-Chested Animals Do Not Pos
sess Endurance of Broad-Chested
Ones-keep Things Orderly.

The horse that is "all legs" is not
the one you want. Try to get those
that are well set, neither too long
legs nor too long bodies.
When good horse lags don't put
the whip on and make it go anyway.
Stop and look into the matter That
horse is not well. If it were it would
not lag. You do not like to be forced
to work when you are sick. The
horse is most like a man of any liv-
ing animal.
1t Is foolish for the farmer to get
the notion that he can win money on
the track with his horses. 1t is all
right to give the horses a chance to
show what is in them, but don't do
1t for money ever
Have the sides of your stalls we'll
nailed to place. Horses sometimes
find out that they can crowd the
partitions out of place and once they
get that habit they will make life mis-.
cradle for you.
Some horses have way of throw
ing their hay out on the floor the first
thing they do after feeding. If you
| feed through a chute from overhead
you will be free from this difficulty
If not, the best way is to build in front

MOLDY FEED is DANGEROUS
Farmers Are Losing Cattle From Eat
:, ing Acorns-Take Precautions
to Keep Poisons Out.

1t is dangerous to give nodded or
spoiled hay and other feeds to live
stock, especially horses. Such feed is
apt to cause sickness and even death.
We have heard Of instances where
farmers have lost a number Of valu-
able animals from this chuse. Care
should be exercised to see that all feed
is in good condition. Hay put up when
too damp may mold, corn and oats
often harbor various kids of fungous
diseases that may be poisonous to
stock, and corn silage when improper
~ stored may cause trouble. The food
an animal eats has marked influence
| upon it's physical well-being. We are
informed that, in WISCONSIN, farmers
are losing cattle fromy eating acorns
picked up in the pastu3 les. Young cat
| tie are particularly affected. Sheep
and hogs can eat the }acorns without
bad effects. and mich COWS seldom die
from this cause, but young calves are
poisoned and little can be done for
them. It is the part OF wisdom tc take
precautions to keep feeds known to be
dangerous away from animals, and
give them only that which is in good
and sound condition.7-Farmer's Guide

of light gray, backs of blue-gray with
white streak down the middle,
barred wings of brown-gray and white,
and little touch of red on each side
of the poll. Their bills are long,
strong and sharp and they use them
for hammer and chisel. Their tongues
are long and cylindrical, terminating
in hard barbed point well fitted to
draw out the smallest and wariest
worm. Their legs terminate in four
toes, two on each side, which together
with their stif tail-feathers, give them
a remarkable purchase power.
The hairy woodpecker is noisy
bird and likes the forest as well as
the orchard. Like some physicians, it
is always calling attention to its good
deeds by loud cries and rapid flights.
The downy woodpecker, on the other
hand is quiet and unobtrusive, SO
busy with it's work that it forgets to
advertise and sometimes even forgets
| to be afraid. 1t is the smallest bird
of it's family and may be distinguished
from the hairy by its smallness and
| it's gentle manners.
The downy woodpecker loves the
orchard and is pre-eminently the farm
er's friend; and il any man believes
the bird is eating his fruit without
due cause, let him examine the apple
| attacked and see il it has not con
tanned a worm. Some fruit this bird
must have, but it prefers wild berries
These birds are not fond of travel
and in winter they may be found as
busily at work as in the warmer
months, and they are probably more
noticed in winter because Of the leaf
less trees. Downy is very sociable
and when the bird tourists have taken
their departure, he associates witt
nuthatches, creepers and titmice, who
all like to forage over the bark OF
trees.
The larvae and pupae of beetles con
stitute the chief food of these wood
peckers, but the birds also consume
quantities of weevils, ants, bugs, cater
pillars, grasshoppers, flies and othe
insects, more than three-fourths o
their food being animal. e. Dwigh
