KITCHENER PAYS
 VISIT TO FRONT
British Field Marshal Picks Way
 Through Ypres WreCkase

British Headquarters, France, July 2o.-Another dull week at the British front has been relieved by the visit or Field Marshal Lord Kitchener, which is the more interesting because it is the first time he has been in the area held by the British troops. His pre- Vlous trips to France nave been Tor conference at General Joffre's head quarters. Probably not one out or hundred soldiers saw him. The army went on with its work; he saw IL at work and chose what he wished to see.
 Laid Out On Programs.
 other visitors had programs laid Tor them but he laid uut his own, which was revelation to energy and precision in the amount or ground covered. The only ceremonious affair was parade of Indian cavalry which he briefly reviewed.
 Kitchener showed particular inter- est in the trenches, and all the con tons relating to the real fighting. It was ticklish moment for his aide and the officers in comman, of that geo. ton when he went to Ypres, which IS still daily subjected 10 smelling.
 Picks Way Among wreckage.
 The field marshal picked his way through the former street among the wreckage, saw seventeen inch shell hole in the Plaza, the remains of the Cloth hill and other sights, an i'm pressive example of the destructive power Of modern shell fire. Unusua as it was in Ypres, not a single shel fell while Kitchener was there.
 It happened that whIre KitcheneI was visiting a heavy battery a charac teristic action of trench warfare de yeloped on the only part of the in that has seen any action this week At Pilken. north of Ypres, the Ger mans commanded two small hills, whicl gave them a punishing advantag over the British trenches on thei front. The British determined to tr' to rectify their line and, after thu usual artillery preparation, charges and by a free use of the bombs tool 250 yards of German trenches, S' prisoners and two machine guns. Tn. battery which Kitchener was visiting was called upon to assist Tn the worl Of repulsing the counter attack to re cover lost ground, which failed. The war minister saw no more o the conflict than anyone not engage, can see in a wooded fiat country. The visitor gave considerable at | tention to two schools, which sho, I how self-contained the -xpeditionar | force is as world in itself. At tn | machine guns school he met officer \ and men drawn from the regiment | at the front being trained in handlin 1 weapons which have come to pla, such an important role. At the cade school, where the problem of fiIIini gaps caused by officers, the cascualtie is being solved, he met privates ou of the trenches who have shown ap titude that they receive nut shor exacting course of instrucrlon befor, they are sent back to the trenche with commissions.

 List of Missing Grows. Efforts to check up the total dead made progres yesterday. The off, ficial list of identified again totaled SPA. While the list of missing grew, only three bodies were recovered and divers said that probably not more than a score of victims remained in the ship. Divers walked the river bed, hand in hand, yesterday, but found no bodies. It was said that the num- Der of missing might be greatly re- duced by wedding out Implications and tardy reports from those saved
 While States Attorney Hoyne said he had evidence that some 2,700 were on the ship, the government checkers said that they were positive no more than 2,500 went aboard, including children.
 A contract to raise the steamer was let yesterday and the work will be be- gun as soon as possible. Many funer- als were held today and the day was officially proclaimed as one of mourn ing, public building being draped. Moving picture censors yesterday refused permits to four concerns which wanted to display pictures of the Eastland disaster on the ground that the companies wanted to "com- mercialize calamity"
 A. o. Rigby, an eyewitness to the accident, described seeing the East land list to the river side until the freight deck doors were even with the water. He was on the Clark street bridge and shouted to the captain of the Eastland: The boat is listing; the boat is listing. Look out"
 He said that when it had gone over to an angle of about forty-f1ve degrees the passengers ran to the dock side of the deck. When the water poured in the freight deck doors, the boat tipped more rapidly and the people began to fall and jump.
 Captains Testimony Interrupted.
 Captain Harry Pedersen of the Eastland was called as a witness by the coroner's jury at the night ses- sion. He testified that he had sailed among other ships the Northland, which for a time piled between Chi cago and Hamburg, Germany, and had been a master of ships for twenty years.
 The states attorney interrupted to say:-
 "You made statement in my of1ce and I don't think you should testify here as you may be indicted for man slaughter"
 'I am willing to tell the truth" 5 C1 T,,@ lxVx< of counsel the captain left the stand and was at once taken into custody by officers. Joseph M. Erickson, chief engineer of the Eastland,. was ex- cused from testifying on the same grounds as Pedersen.

SEND NO YOUNG
 MEN TO FRONT
British Doctor Submits Report On Treatment of Cases of Mental
 Shock From War Service.

Treatment of Cases of Mental
 Shock From War Service.
 London, July 2s, (Correspondence of The Associated Press)-The inad- visibility of sending very young men to the fighting front is emphasized in a report. by Dr. Murray Leslie on the treatment of cases of mental shock resulting from war service. Nearly all the cases of fighting affecting the mind have been in men of 21 or 22 or younger, declares Dr. Leslie, who suggests that this may be the reason for the recent German order that no more volunteers under 21 will be ac- cepted for the army. fat
 Dr. Leslie divides cases of battle shock into two classes those who have been constantly subjected to shell explosion and have no actual in- jury, and those suffering from neu- rasthenia. The first kind of case is characterized by curious stupor; frequently patients are oblivious of all their surroundings. The neu- rasthenia cases require prolonged treatment, and is regarded as a great mistake to send them back too soon.
 The writer points out the possibil- ity, as the war progresses, that these cases of war-shock will become fre- quent also among the population at home The censors know what they are doing when they suppress the grewsome details and pictures of Zeppelin raids. Such action is most important to keep up the morale of the nation, and is perfectly right from a medical point of view. Optimism is one of the greatest values to the nation as we'll as the individual The feeling that all is going well is great mental tonic."

trying to place blame for the acci. dent
 The statement said that under the law the steamboat inspection service was obliged to make an investiga. tion, but that the rules provided that such an inquiry should be made by inspectors other than those concerned in certifying the steamer. It was urposed, therefore, to call on the Milwaukee board to hold the inquiry in Chicago. The statement contin- ues:
 Unofficial Observers.
 "In order that the seriousness of this particular accident may be given due weight, we shall arrange with the local board of inspectors to have MT. Thurman of the department of justice and myself conduct the inquiry, with the assistance of the commanding of- ficers of the steamboat inspection ser vice. It seems right to us, however, that something more should be done than that and therefore, I have ask ed Harry Weller, yice-president of the Union Trust Company and Marvin B. Pool of Butler Brothers to act as un- official observers or partakerS in the inquiry. It is my purpose to ask that
 
 the Western Electric Company select some technical member of it's staff as a third representative.
 Tt is hoped to begin the inquiry Thursday. The supervising inspector general of the steamboat inspection service George Uhler, will arrive from San Francisco tomorrow. These hear ings are informal in the sense that legal restrictions as to testimony are waived
 Not A Steamboat Safe.
 The statement that there is not a steambo travelling on the Great Lakes that is entirely safe was made today by Victor A. Olander, secretary of the Lake Seamen's Union, after leaving the grand jury chamber where he had testified as the first witness in States Attorney Hoyne's investigation of the Eastland wreck.

GET BREEDERS IN CONDITION
Blanket of Fat Under Animals Hide
Is Worth Bushels of Corn in
Crib as Protection.

Hogs that are to be kept over for
breeders, and fall pigs should go into
the winter in good condition. A blan-
ket of fat under the animals hide is
worth bushels of corn in the crib as a
protection against the winters cold.
Fat can be put on during the fall cas-
Ter than it can after winter begins.
The fall pig that has not been well
fed during the fall has a winter of
misery before it. Its hair gives but lit
tie protection, and without a blanket
of fat it is in a sad predicament. Fat,
vigorous pigs will continue to grow
during the winter, but the thin ones
are expensive boarders. Older breed
ing animals will endure more hard
ships and exposure, but they come out
in the spring in poor condition, and
cannot produce as good pigs as those
that go into the winter in good condi-
ton.
A chilled body reduces an animals
energy and it comes oHt in the spring
in a weak. emaciated condition. BY
getting the herd properly conditioned
during the fall months, when every
kind of farm-grown feed is available.
it is possible to carry them through
the winter in good breeding condition,
and save vast amount Of feed later

PLAN FOR DEHORNING CALVES
Caustic Potash or Soda viii Do the
Work satisfactorily-Sma
Amount Will Kill Horn.

Many dairymen make q practice OF
dehorning their calves with caustic
potash or soda. Others would if they
thought enough about it. Take the
calf, say few days old, scrape the
button or skin over button where
horns are forming until quite red,
then apply the caustic. There is no
need Of getting it anywhere else than
on the button, as a very small amount
will kill the horn. However. the skin
must be broken in order to be eff
fective.
a certain dairyman has three
heifers, one hornIess, one horned, the
other with one normal horn and the
other showing flush with the skin,
but not projecting beyond it. These
results were due to different degrees
OF treatment. The hornless heifer
was first treated, but friend drop
ping in when the second calf was
being treated, objected to the amount
OF irritation of the skin over the but
ton, saying that the treatment was too
severe and cruel. The owner. there
fore, let up somewhat, being new to
the treatment, and as a result one
horn was not affected at all and the
other only stunted to the amount in
dicated. The third heifer the friend
treated with the result that the horns
were not stopped, but grew as much
as ever.

the difference in price that is paid for
two horses, one weighing 1000 pounds
and the other 1900, will amount to
nearly a dollar a pound. It is there
fore most important to get strong
heavy horses and the foundation for
this increased weight is laid in good
breeding and liberal early feeding.
A young colt often begins to eat of
the hay and grain in it's mothers
manger when it is only two or three
months old. This should be encour-
aged by lowering the feed box or build
ing a separate one so the colt can
easily reach it. When feeding the
mother put a little of the grain and
hay in the colts box and it will be
found that the young animal will soon
be getting a large per cent Of it's
nourishment in this way. A mixture
Of three parts oats and one part bran
makes a good feed for the colt
With liberal feeding the colt should
be given an opportunity to run and
play as much as he desires, and there
is no animal on the farm that enjoys
it better or needs it more than the
colt.

PadereWski's MPuniI -

Paderewski arrived in a small west
ern town about noon one day and de-
cfded to take a walk in the afternoon.
While strolling along he heard piano,
and, following the sound, came to a
house on which was a sign reading:
Miss Jones. Piano lessons rs cents
an hour"
Pausing to listen he heard the young
woman trying to play one of Chopin's
nocturnes, and not succeeding very
well.
Paderewski walked up to the house
and knocked. Miss Jones came to the
door and recognized him at once. De-
lighted, she invited him in and he sat
down and played the nocturne as only
Paderewsh can, afterward spending
an hour in correcting her mistakes.
Miss Jones thanked him and he de-
parted.
Some months afterward he returned
to the town, and again took the same
walk.
he soon came to the home Of Miss
Jones, and, looking at the sign, read:
