There should be plenty Of sheds or
shelters about on every farm to which
any stock can go for protection against
rain and sleet, and at night during ex
cessively severe periods some of the
stock will need the protection of a
warm stable, especially is this true Of
all dairy animals. Dairy cows have
less accumulation of fat than other
animals, suppOsing that other animals
have been properly fed No COW that
Is not kept In condition of reasonable
comfort can be kept up to a normal
milking standard, and when she suf-
fers from exposure there is probably
as much loss in the quality as in the
quantity of her milk. 1t is good
economy to keep the dairy COW fed up
to good, strong condition and to give
her suitable shelter as weather con-
diuons render advisable.

more than that.
I'm Lepretre wood, northwest Of
POnt-a- NlOusson, we have gained inn
pnrtant successes in spite of the fact
that part Of the ground has since
been lost. The ertire forest two
months ago was in the hands of the
Germans. Foot by foot we have con-
quered nearly the whole of it. The
lighting in this region has been par
tjcularly severe. In one instance, on
January II, we captured several of
the enemy's works i'm a counter at
tack An entire German company
was taken, including several officers.
on the 18th we gained 500 yards of
the enemy's trenches, while on the
19th we made an advance Of 100 yards
beyond these trenches. We picked up
dead and wounded in sufficient mum

losses in these engagements were
more than a battalion.
since the 10th the Germans have
attacked this point desperately, but
have regained only a third of the
ground lost.

three companies. Here our chausseurs
made heroic stand, but this force
was obliged to suCcor the small guard
at the summit which was furiously
attacked by important forces Of the
enemy. In heavy snowstorm and
fog unable to see more than ten
yards ahead Of them, this small de-
tachment, knowing that the guard had
only 300 cartridges, set out on Janu-
AIRY l9 over the rocky declvity which
was obstructed by thickets, to save
their comrades.

q small section of the trenches, but
they were driven out half an hour
later and the cemetery at La Boisselle
was found to be full Of German dead,
including several officers.
Around Soissons the enemy had
gained no advantage since January
IA. At Palsy the two advorsaries are
within twenty yards Of each other and
the same line of barbed wire serves
as a defense for each side. Four COM

The enemy installed himself in our

SUPPLEMENTAL BRIEF
FILED IN BECKER CASE
Deals With Attempt to Get
New Trial Based on Negroes
Affidavit.

Assistant District Attorney Robert c.
Taylor. who argued against the appeal
OF former Police Lieutenant Charles
Becker. has filed a supplementary brief
with the Court of Appeals in which he
deals with the attempt TO get new
trial for Becker.
This attempt was based on an afn-
davit by a negro actor. James Marshall
II was made in Philadelphia and pur-
ported to repudiate testimony at the
last trial concerning the Harlem con-
ference, OF which SO much has been said
in the case. Marshall. in the evidence
in the case. put Becker in Harlem with
a man identified as Jack Rose. Con-
corning the Marshall affidavit Mr.. Tay-
lor says:
1T made Marshall say that he had
testified that he saw Weber and
Schepps Gas well as Rose) in Harlem
Neither his original affidavit of April
II, 1914, nor his retrial testimony con-
tanned word about Weber or Schepps
The clipping was newspaper fabrica
ton on It's face wrought out OF words
which reckless reporters put into
drunkards mouth"
An opinion In the case is not expected
to be handed down by the court before
six weeks.

BUSHELS OF WHEAT
Officials Figure on Big Acre
age. but Condition Is I'm
der That Of 1914.
RYE rs BELOW AVERAGE

WASHINGTON. April 7.--According to
an estimate Of the winter wheat crop
made public by the Department Of Agli-
culture to-day 619.0o0,O0O bushels will
he produced The estimate Is based on
the condition OF the growing crop OF
April 1, which Is the largest acreage in
the country's history. The Department
gives winter wheat conditions April 1 as
SIS per cent. Of normal. against 9o.6
per cent. last year and SIS for the ten
year average. There was an increase OF
O5 point from last December COM
pared with an average decline Of 81
points in the last ten years
Rye's condition was S9.5 per cent. Of
a normal, against s1.3 last year and s0.1
the ten year average.
This Is the statement OF the crop re-
porting board issued to-day:
The par or 100 per cent. normal con-
dition Of wheat on April / may be re-
garded as equivalent to approximately
16a bushels per acre planted. Hence a
condition OF SS.s would indicate -
bushels. which on the Al $4,000 acres
planted would give total production of
G19 900, 900 bushels as compared with
a final estimate of 6S4 800, 900 last year,
523, SOL 900 two years ago, 3ss.9l9,000
three years ago and 430,656OoO four
years ago
"In forecasting this quantity OF 61s.-
O0O, 900 bushels II should he considered
that the outturn will be above or below
H. The crop will be larger or smaller
than this amount according as the
changes In condition from now TO har-
vest are better or worse than average
changes from April I 20 harvest.
In general way the wheat crop
suffered more than the average in the
Atlantic coast States as a result OF a
cold. dry. windy March without ade-
quate snow covering. Ia the central
States east of the Mississippi River the
crop declined slightly during the win
ter. but not more than usual. Reports
OF prevalence of Hess!an fly are made
from many places in this section, which
give some apprehension.
Great improvement in the condition
was made in the western part OF the
grain belt, Nebraska. Kansas and Okla
homa. which caused Il general average
condition on April / slightly higher than
on December !. although the average OF
the last ten years on April l was 2 7
points lower than on December l. In
the Pacific Northwest large Yields are
anticipated"

In Dramatic Critics Action.

Justice HenGrck of the Supreme

matte critic of the Times, 10 continue
temporary injunction restraining the
Shuberts from refusing him admission
20 any of their theatres because OF ad-
verse and alleged unjust criticism made
Of their productions. The Justice re-
served decision. but said he was under
the impression that the ruling of the
Court of Appeals in the case OF James
S. Metcalfe of Life that theatre ticket
is revocable license established
precedent in favor of the defendants.
Alfred a. Cook counsel for the plain
tin, argued that the Metcalfe case was
different because in that action it APP
peared that the personal integrity and
religion of various theatrical producers
was assailed, while Woolcott was ex-
cluded merely because of criticisms.
1T would be a dangerous condition
of affairs for the public II a clique %
theatrical managers could produce plays
and have them reviewed as they
wished" said Mr. Cook.

DEMOCRATIC PLANS
ALL MAY BE CHANGED

WARRINGTON. April THE most dis
heartening political news that has come
to Administration officials since tho Con-
gressional and state elections last fall
was that announcing the outcome of the
Chicago Mayoralty election yesterday, in
publican candidate, won by q landslide.
and the defeat Of Democrats in half a
dozen other municipal elections.
Democratic leaders were not inclined
20 discuss the returns as involving any
thing more than the settlement OF local
differences. but there were reasons for
believing that the outcome Of the
municipal elections had impressed upon
political advisers Of tho Administration
the need that the President before long
rom. to the fore as the champion Of the
party policies.
One of the results which II was said
might came from the defeat of the Demo-
cratic candidates was that ii would impel
the President to take the stump this
summer in defence Of his administration.
II was suggested that he might accept
the invitation to visit the San Francisco
exposition in July, stopping Off for po-
Ntical speeches on his way out and back.
"Local," says Tumulty.
Secretary Tumulty said he believed
mat no more political significance at
tached 10 the Chicago result than to the
outcome of the election in Hoboken,
n j.. last week, which was a Democratic
victory. Mr.. Tumulty asserted that the
issues in the Chicago election were en-
tirely local. a statement that he said
was borne out by the first public ut
terance OF the newly elected Mayor.
SIR. Thompson had been quoted as say
ing that his first business would be to
drive pickpockets and crooks out OF
Chicago.
A dscouraging element in the Chicago
result seen by some political students
here was the added evidence that the
Progressive party has disintegrated. II
was pointed out that Illinois was for
merry one of the banner Progressive
States. and that Chicago was the strong
hold of third party strength in that
State in the last election.
