Without the fleet our most important way into the open, leading over the Baltic, would have been shut from the first days of the war. Without it England could have brought entirely different pressure to bear on Denmark, and in the Dardan- elles, and might have terrorized the whole Balkans into joining the entente, without it every attempt of the neutrals to restrict the English depotism over the sea would be hope less. Only the existence of a strong German fleet has forced England to pay a certain regard to the United States without it England's chances of wearing us down into peace, would be ten times greater than they are today. / One Correct Strategy.
 'I do not believe that any English 1 man with technical expert knowl- edge doubts that our fleet has pur- l sued the one correct, and for England, l fatal strategy, of continuing as a 1 fleet in being and so made the en- !
 emy's supremacy at sea only pro- visional and conditional to provoke
 a decisive battle against an over- i whelmingly superior force would be 1 heroic, but it would not be war, it would be playing the enemy's game. l That our navy would take any op- portunity to measure herself against the foe, where the chances were at all ! equal, she has proved sufficiently and
 will also prove further. It is also cer- tain that the English will give them no such opportunity, if they know it. Before the war I heard in England over and over again, that the Ger
 man fleet, ship for ship, was as good as the English-in the mouth of the
 Englishman the highest praise he
 could give-the experiences they have
 had since May make them doubt il

Famished Mob Attacks Palace of Archdulxe As Protest Against
 Elaborate Banquet.


 London, Dec. 28.-An Amsterdam despatch to the Exchange Telegraph company says that according to re- ports in Vienna the palace of Arch duke Stephen of Austria was attack ed Christmas night by an almost ia mished mob armed with pitchforks and axes as protest against the squandering of food on an elaborate entertainment.
 The police dispersed the rioters but number of stones crushed through the windows damaging several pie lures.
 Dresden reports say that food riots occurred at Chemnitz on Christmas day. Women marched in procession to the town hall clamoring for food at reasonable prices and smashing 1 many windows. The police forced the women to retire, eleven of them be- 1 ing injured. The Chemnitz socialist 1 organ adds the despatch, was SUD- l pressed for mentioning the affray.

of Bellows Brothers than just here
following the history of their fathers

of Nodaway county.
During part of the business career
of Mr.. Frank Bellows he conducted his
Shorthorn herd in his own name and
later as F. Bellows & Sons. But very
soon after he began with Shorthorns
his son, George, then a mere lad,
bought a COW from L. Millre, and If
1886 she produced calf. Later c. T
Bellows, the second son, had some
Shorthorns individually. so when the
father retired the sons increased their
herds and later consolidated them un-
der the firm Of Bellows Brothers.
An inherited love for live stock AMI
carefully trained natural ability soon
equipped these young men for a sue
cessful career as breeders of Short
horns. The older brother, George P.
was for several years very efficient
man for the Iowa Homestead, and tn
work gave him al extended knowledge
Of all classes Of live stock and init
mate acquaintance Of the various
breeders. All this was invaluable tc
him as breeder of Shorthorns and If

the front in a very short time.

herd large number of choicely bred

er impress on the ohorUnorns OF the
United States than Choice Goods, and
no other one has had as great an in
! Iluence on the herds of Missouri.
While Bellows Brothers have used in
| their herd the sons Of several very no
ted bulls, they were quick to take adj
vantage of Choice Goods blood, and
they have used two Of his sons and
two grandsons as herd bulls.
The first one secured was Good
Choice 227652, bought when less than
twelve months old, and in the follow
ing year, at the Tebo Lawn dispersion
sale, June, 1906, they bought the Run
away Girl with her bull calf of two
months. They resold the COW to Owen
Kane, but reserved an option Of 1000
on the calf at one year old. They clos
ed the option and the youngster be-
came Best of Goods 262678, one of the
great sires of the herd. Later Superb
Goods and Diamond Goods, both by
Good Choice, were put in service with
gratifying results. An important &C
cession to the herd is Radium, the
Yonderful young bull shown with such
signal success by Owen Kane of Ne
braska, and carrying the blood Of the
great sire Avondale; and during this
summer Bellows Brothers purchased
from Messrs. Ogden & Son Fair Acres
Sultan 354154, got by Whitehall Sui
ton, the sire of many prize winners in
the herd of J. A. Kilour, Sterling, Ill.
Hence, the bulls now in service in Bel
lows Brothers herd have the blood of
the great sires, Choice Goods, White
hall Sultan and Avondale, and the
cows with which they will be mated
have rich breeding and rare individual
merit. The herd, therefore, is distined
to do a greater work for the breed
than the excellent results already ac-
complished. We have no record Of the
private sales made from the herd, but
they have been large, while IN eleven
annual public sales Bellows Brothers
have sold sos head of Shorthorns for
$40, an average Of 1898 per head,
a record Of which any breeder may
justly feel proud.
The sudden and very sad death of
Col. George P. Bellows was a great
shock to his friends and very dis
tinct loss to the Shorthorn industry,
but his son, Harold, successor to his
interest in the herd, has taken up the
work seriously and is very much in
terested in Sborthorns; so with his eff
fort to supplement the energy and
more mature Judgment of his uncle,
C. D. Bellows, the firm will continue
to stand as an exponent of -Shorthorn
supremacy.

ed the herd bull Robert Napier 1915,
bred by VIM. TORI, imported by Hon.
NJ. H. Cochrane and sold to VIM. War
field. This bull proved a good sire in
DR.. Deans herd. Another sire and
show bull in his herd was Miss Hill

of Kansas City, and rich in Bates
blood. He was followed by the Scotch
bull, Violet Prince 7S2SS, bred by T.W.

es at the fairs, and for many years
was regarded as one OF the good herds

his herd during the dull times wher
registered cattle brought little NOR

tice of medicine in Maryville, and not
withstanding the fact that he had Civ

gained his former standing as one CT

which in its day exerted a strong in
fluence on the surrounding herds, and
as its successor LETT herd that is still,
in existence and is stronger and bet
ter than was the parent herd and
which is having very potent influ-
ence in upbuilding the Shorthorn in
dustry. The foundation of this hero
was laid about 1884 by Mr.. Fran
Bellows, who lived on a farm a few
miles from Maryville and who had az
ambition to improve his stock. He
made his start with Cruickshank cat
tie by buying from Hon. John Dryden
Brooklin, Ontario, the COW Cora ani

the cows Imp. Arbutus and Imp. Flors'
