In Reply to American Note Vienna Reeraes Former State ments That Wholesale Manufacture of War Materials Could Not Be Considered Strictly Neutral
 Washington Unimpressed

Amsterdam September 26.-The Aus tro-Hungarian government according to an official telegram received today from Vienna, has, in reply to the American note of August F. relative to the manu- fracture of ammunition in the United States. reiterated the position taken in its protest of June 29
 The reply affirms that Austria Hun gary never intended to imply that it ex- pected Washington would forbid Amer ican citizens to do a normal traffic in war material with the enemies of the duals monarchy. but solely protested against the economic life of the United States being made subservient to the production of war material in the great est possible amounts whereby the United States became 'militarized.''
 The note proceeds: According to para graphs and of the preamble of The Hague convention No B of 1907 and sup plemented by the general principles of neutrality the Austro- Hungarian govern ment considers the concentration of SC much American energy on one aim namely, the delivery of war materia whereby. although not intentional but ir fact, effective support is rendered one of the belligerent parties is 'fait nou. veau' departure which confutes the ref. erence to the United States to supposed precedents.

London, September 26.- Mystery still [eils the Balkan situation and the in entions of Bulgaria
 Bulgaria. which had been definitely placed on the side of the central DOW Frs as the result of recent news from Fofia, informed the entente powers to- lay that her mobilization had been or tered in the national interests and that t had not the slightest aggressive Fharacter
 The Bulgarian premier, M. Radosla- Foff, in an interview with the Sofia Correspondent of the Berlin Tageblatt, Reiterated this statement, but 1t is noteworthy that while he said the I1easure was not directed against Greece or Roumania. he omitted servia. It has been charged that Bulgaria Intends to attack Servia in an effort o regain Macedonia. Such an attack t Is pointed out, would bring Greece 0 the side of her ally and, as in the last Balkan war. Greece, Servia and possibly Roumania. would be found op- osed to Bulgaria.
 Roumania has mobilized and Greece s taking similar action, The conclu- ion. therefore. has been drawn here hat they, at least, fear Bulgaria has Aggressive designs. if not against Greece, then against Servia
 King Constantine and the Greek pre- nier, NJ. venizelos, apparently have composed differences which led to their eparation when the premier early in he war wished. to join the allies gainst Turkey.
 The whole matter may yet be moothed over, as Bulgaria is contin ling her negotiations with the en- ente powers. the Bulgarian minister t Petrograd having had a long con erence with the Russian foreign min ster.

Washington Uninterested

Washington, September 26.-The reply of fsAustro- Hungary to the American note on shipments of war munitions has not reached here Officials manifested little interest in the continuation by Austria of the controversy, holding that so far as the Unified States iss concerned the in- cident was closed.
 Dr. Constantin Dumha, the Austrian ambassador, advised the foreign office that further exchange of notes on the subject would be futile because of the determination of President Wflson not to alter the position he had taken.
 Dr. Dumba's letter of advice never reached the Austrian foreign office. as it was intercepted when his. messenger, James F. Archibald. was arrested in Eng land. s}.< -.'

veau' should be sufficient reason for all tering the existing practice of the United States in regard to it's observance of neu- trality. The suggestion of the Austro- Hungarian government-on the question of the supply of war materials was in- tended to prove that it Is in the power of the United States to open the way for commerce with the central powers be- cause this possibility has been prevented by the entente powers by measures which even the government of the United States regards as illegal.
 The reference by the United States to the Boer war is less opposite since al that time England did not prohibit com merce and, therefore. there was no ques- tion of the commercial isolation of south Africa.

earned, but still Ode1 was not re-

Then the mother borrowed money,
to come to Chicago and tried to get
her baby, finally appealing to the
Legal Aid Society to help her. "
A petition for a writ of habeas'

On June Is the matter was brought
before Judge Jesse A. Baldwin and
evidence heard in the case.
Mr.. and Mrs. Leu said they had5

the mother who brought it into the
world, though she may now be in

to supply the child with every COM

This is a problem in the chancery

Leu and Charlotte Leu, 24O9 w. 56th
St, Chicago.
Mrs. COppage, the mother of the
child, married James Coppage in
1900, and has two children, Hazel,
IA, and Odel, II. She claims that
in 1911 her husband deserted her,
leaving her with almost no means of
support and she was compelled to go
to work to provide a very meager
living for herself and two children.
In October, 1913, she says Mrs. Leu,
an aunt of the children, offered to
send Odeu to school in Chicago and
provide for the child until such time
as the mother felt she could take bet

standing that Odeu should spend her
HOLIDAYS with her mother.
The first holiday came in June,
1914, and the mother waited for her
baby girl to come home to her, but
the entire summer was spent in an
exchange of correspondence as to
whether the child should be sent to
st. Louis or the mother should come
to Chicago and visit her, and it had
not been settled when school opened
again, so the mother did not see
Odeu.

RAISE A FEW DRAFT HORSES
Plenty Of Pasture and Access 70 Good
Stallion Are Essential-Good
Breeding Necessary.

(By D. c. CAMPBELL, Kansas Expert
ment Station.)
There is nothing more profitable to
the average farmer than the raising
OF a few good draft horses, provided
he has plenty of pasture and access
to a good stallion.
It a good stallion is not standing for
service in a community, the man who
has at least five or six good farm
mares can afford to own his own stall
lion and use him with work horses.
A coming two-year-old stallion can be
bought for approximately 500, and
taken in hand at this age, he makes
In excellent work horse. In fact, q
stallion is better for having been
worked. He is harder, more docile.
and makes a good work horse. II the
stallion is worked alongside a bred
mare there will be nc trouble in han
ding him. He should be made to
earn his keep and he will be the better
therefor.
The raising of draft horses is diff.
ferent from that Of any other live
stock on the farm. Important factors
are good food and attention. Good
breeding gives the possibilities, but
good breeding is necessary to bring
this out to its fullest extent.
1t is better for the man Of limited
means to raise horses only as a by
product, because the exclusive raising
of draft horses for market requires
considerable capital. The returns at
first are slow, for draft horses must be
six years old before they are ready for
market. The man who has other cash
crops to meet his expenses can afford
to wait for the returns from his young
draft horses.
