BERLIN CLAIMS
[BY LEASED w!RE.1

BERLIN, Via Wireless, Jan. 10
That all the French troops on the
northern bank of the Aisne, northeast
Of scissors have been driven from
their positions and forced to retreat
to the south bank, was the chief fea
ture of an official report from general
staff headquarters issued here this
afternoon. 1t said that six towns along
the Aisne had been captured by the
Germans. These towns are Cuffies
Crouy, BucyLe-Long, Missy, Vauxvot
and. Valerie
The French suffered heavy losses
in the retreat that abandoned these
towns to the Germans.

FRENCH STATEMENT.

PARIS, Jan. 15.-The Germans are
maintaining their terrific attack upon
the French northeast of Soissons. An
official statement issued here this
afternoon said that the Germans sue
ceeded in capturing ST. Paul, which
lies little more than a mile northeast
OF scissors, but that the French had
succeeded in retaking this place.
The statement also claims successes
for the French troops near Lombart-
zyde and Becelaere, in Flanders, and
the capture of German positions on
the ArrasLille highway.
On the Meuse the French have de-
stroyed pontoon bridges established by
the Germans at St. Michel. This is a
most important success for the French
as the Germans have held their po-
sitions here for many weeks, contin-
uously threatening to drive a wedge
into the French army by crossing the
Meuse.

tense attention the Developments in the
German war zone where at the stroke
Of noon of this day German submarines
viii begin TO operate. All kinds OF
gloomy forebodings are entertained
as the result OF these operations. THIS
anxiety could easily be avoided BY an
order Of the President directing Amer
lean steamers to stay out OF the war
zone. II Is said that this would be .
surrender Of the rights Of o,ir country.
We have allowed England TO override
far more vital rights. We have per-
mitted her to invade all our neutral
rights almost to destruction and no
threats OF war have come forth. But
Germany which does not impair our
neutral rights and is even anxious TO
protect them Is threatened with dire
conseqacpees. This does not indicate
peaceful disposition but the very
reverse. As far as the request OF Ger
many ~ cohctrneu tnAt t't ~" e'f'
which fly the American flag steer the
safe course around Scotland. there is no
reason, which common sense will approve,
to refuse II. The United States are not
forbidden to pursue their neutral
trade. They are only advised TO let
their ships take a safe course instead
of--a dangerous course. Such request
is not htmiliating. II has prudence and
a careful regard for the lives and
property Of Americans TO recommend
il, and II the President declines 20 listen
70 reason and TO protect American
from injury, such obstinaey can
only be explained by desire TO protect
England and TO hamper Germany. The
peaceable professions OF the President
appear exceedingly hollow In view OF
the fact that when a way 70 peace ~
pointed out TO him, he insists upon
selecting way which may lead to war.

incubator chicks are never equal in
general vitality to the normal hen
Matched chick. They are less resis-
tant and more subject to disease. We
have not yet mastered natures secrets
either with the lower organisms or
with our own species, and for this rea-
son we can well afford to draw les
sons from the experience acquired in
the various hatcheries. The founda-'
ton of good health is good air and
good food. Food to the nursing moth
er bears the same relation as lamp
heat to the incubator. and if there is
deficiency in any degree in either
case the developing life is certain to
pay the penalty in lowered vitality;
while If we take an excess of deficient
foodstuffs we must likewise pay a
penalty.

CAMERA MEN in DANGER

Amateur photographers at the seaside or even
IN London and other big cities must be more
careful than ever how they take snapshots during
wartime for a thoughtless of their cameras
may easily cause them find themselves in
prison for few days. to say the least. Pearson's
Weekly remarks.
In the early days of the war, for instance,
perfectly innocent Hull ship chandler, on hol
day in London, with his wife, was arrested by
the police for taking photographs of Battersea
bridge After being detained the best part OF
the day during which inquiries were made, the
authorities satisfied that he was merely
harmless snapshotter, but nevertheless they
warned him to keep his camera out of use until
the war is over!
There are probably many thousands of anna
teur photographers who wishing to snap scenes

In preliminary tests. according to Martins re-
port, small plots were marked of for exposure
to different kinds of eectriication. To insure
that the soil of one plot not better than that
of another, top earth was collected. mixed and
sifted and then was laid to the uniform depth OF
seven inches over the entire area.
In the soil of plot No. l was buried a wire
screen. Over the plot a network of wire
stretched about fifteen inches from the ground
Connecting the network above the ground and
the screen below were several wire antennae
The screen connected to terminal of a
Tesla coil and the network to the other A trans
former stepped a 110volt alternating current up
to 5000 volts charging a condenser of tinfoil and
glass plates. which discharged through a primary
of the coil About one hundred and thirty watts
operated for hour each morning and
evening.

lamp with a ruby bulb The light was
turned for three hours daily beginning at sun
down. Plot No. was Illuminated the same way

BY the latter part of last July the system was In
readiness and the currents were tested At that

frequency of the oscatory currents was estimated
to be about thirty thousand cycles second Birds

The ground planted to radishes. lettuce. beets
cabbages cucumbers, turnips muskmeons, water
melons, tomatoes, parsnps. beans. peas. corn and
tobacco All were planted in rows running east and
west, SO that onehalf of each row was electrified
and the other half not.
AS result it found that practically all the
plants in the electrified grew much more rap
idly than those of 1t. In almost every case the
electrified vegetables we're ripe two weeks earlier
