CAPE WORMS CAUSE TROUBLE
Best Preventive Measure 10 to Remove
Runs to New Ground--separate
All infected Birds.

Gapes In chickens are caused by
the cape worms which live from year
to year in the soil OF the ground where
the infected chickens have been kept
The best preventive measure is to
move the runs to ground that has not
been 80 occupied for two or three
years.
II the chickens are kept until they
are six weeks old on ground that is
free from worms, the trouble will be
over for that year. A good plan is to
move the entire chicken plant to new
ground and devote the old ground to
vegetables. grain or grass.
About the only remedy for the In
tested chick is to extract the cape
worms from its throat with a looped
horsehair or a very fine wire. The
hair or wire should be disinfected in
a solution OF a tablespoonful of creo-
lin in a pint of cold water each time
before inserting ii in the windpipe.
Affected chicks should be separated
from the well ones, and the quarters
where they ara kept should be sPrin-
kled daily with slaked lime. Put few
crystals OF permanganate OF potash in
the drinking water-enough to turn II
pinkish. BY this means you may be
able to save a good many Of your
chicks, but an ounce OF prevention is
worth many pounds OF cure.

TO BORROW
A HUGE sum
ENGLISH AND FRENCH FlNAN-
ClERS ARE WITHIN A FEW
HOURS OF NEW YORK.
They WILL ALSO ACT FOR RUSSIA
Their Coming Is With a View to Es-
tabishing Credit Here, the Like
Of Which the Western World Had
Never Seen Before.

NEW YORK, Sept. S.-The six Eng
lish and French financiers on their
way to this city to borrow a huge
sum of money, popularity estimated
at half billion dollars or more, with
which to pay for ammunition sup
plies for the allied armies and other
imports from this country, were be-
lieved to be within few hours of
New York harbor at 10 o'clock to-
night The date of their sailing from
England and the name of the ship
they took have been withheld by the
British censor, hence the time of
their arrival will not be definitely
known until the vessel bringing them
is met off quarantine by the customs
and health officers.
On the eve of their anticipated ar
rival here, it was learned from un-
official sources tonight that not only
would they represent their own coun-
tries in negotiations here, but in all
probability would act for Russia as
WELL
On good authority it was reported
that their power of attorney for Rus
sia probably would have been given
them before they sailed from Eng
land but for the unexpected inability
of Pierre L. Bark, the Russinan min
lister of finance to confer in London
with the finance minister of France
and the British chancellor of the ex-
chequer prior to their departure. Pas
sengers reaching here aboard the
steamer Ryndam told of reports of the
imminence of the commissions de-
parture from England when they left
Rotterdam and in addition brought to
this country word of their prepara-
tion and plans which the British cen
sor had apparently barred on the
cables.
According to this information a
meeting had been arranged in Lon
don for the latter part of August
among the financial heads of the
three principal allied governments.
Great Britain, France and Russia.
This meeting was to have been at
tended by Reginald McKenna, Brit
ish minister of finance, and Pierre
l.. Barn, Russian minister of finance
The subject of the conference, it was
reported. was joint action by the
three governments in obtaining a
mammoth credit loan in the United
States. This matter had been dis
cussed short time previously at
Mere. France, at meet
ing between Chancellor Nick emma
and NJ. Ribot, at which it was agreed
to invite the Russian minister Of
finance to another conference in Lon
don.
Meantime, in accord with the un-
derstanding believed to have been
reached between France and England
at this conference, the two commits
sions were organized to visit America
on behalf of their governments and
the banks in France and England and
act in cOniunctio. but not jointly,
with a view to establishing credit
here. the like of which the western
world had never seen before. which
would solve for months to come the
vexing question of paying for sup
plies shipped abroad.

WASHINGTON, Sept. S.-Adminis-
tration officials here are closely watch
ing the military situation in Central
Mexico, where Carranza's forces are
planning to launch a general attack
against the Villa army in the near fu
ture. either at Torreon or Chihuahua.
American consuls at many points
have asked for all available informa-
tion regarding troop movements. A
message received tonight and dated
yesterday said Villa troops recently
driven from Saltillo by General Obre-
gon began arriving there last night.
Unofficial reports have reached
Washington that General Villa is
planning to evacuate Torreon and to
concentrate his force at Chihuahua for
the struggle with Obrego, Trevinc
and other Carranza generals whose
recent successes have paved the way
for an attempt to close in and crush
Villa. The forthcoming battle, it is
recognized here, probably will have an
important effect upon the political fu
ture of the country.
secretary Lansing SAID today that
plans for the meeting of the Pan-Amer-
lean conferees next week had not
been completed. Villa and his adher-
ents are going ahead with prepara-
tions for peace convention and al
ready have chosen their delegates.
What the conferees will do about ar
rangements for the convention, in
view of Carranza's apparent attitude
OF defiance, has not been disclosed.
p Carranza's answer to the peace ap-
peal his agents confidently expect will
artivo before the Pan-American con
ferees assemble.
The rapid advance of Carranza's s
forces in Central Mexico during the
last few weeks has aroused the optim-
ism of his Washington representa-
tives, who now assert that his COM
plete domination of the situation will
be so apparent as to demonstrate the
reason for seeking recognition and his
unwillingness to confer with his mill
tary adversaries.
