THE ALLIES AND OUR MAILS

The reply Of the entente allied
governments to Washington's pro-
test against their interference with
American mails, 10 sweeping re-
fusal to conceae this Government -
contentious. II could not well be
more positive, though tone and tenn
per are unobjectionable. Il Is made
perfectly plain that French and Ydt-
ish warships will continue 70 treat
American mails aboard neutral YES
sells precisely as they have done in
the past, and that the United States
will have to be content with the as
surances that everything possible
will be done to expedite the course
of legitimate mail that does not in
volve delivery Of contraband-
whether material or Information
to the enemy. The entente govern
ments give assurance that they will
be responsible for mistakes, which
means that reparation will be made
for damages done, when these shall
have been judicially determined.
Once more, the allies argue
largely from the positions taken by
the United States during the civil
war. They are fighting for their
lives, as the United States was then
doing. President Lincoln ut the be-
ginning of the civil war issued q
proclamation dealing with contra
band, in which he held that either
articles or information must be
equally regarded as contraband; and
that rule was enforced during the
civil war. The allies note points
out that, during that war, inter-
cepted enemy correspondence was
used as evidence before the United
States courts, and even laid before
Congress for its information. Fur
Their, the allies point out that enemy
plots, organized in the United
States, have in the present war been
exposed by reason Of information
discovered through examination Of
mails to or from the United States.
1t is not to be presumed that this
disagreement between the United
States and the allied countries will
lead to breach Of diplomatic rela-
lions. Without doubt. there will be
a great number Of American claims
against the allied countries for dam
ages sustained by reason Of this pro-
gram, and these will be the sub
jects Of settlement through some
mixed arbitral tribunal.
The entente powers are fighting
for their lives. They cannot, as they
view it, overlook any means to gain
ing victory. Germany invaded Bel
gium at the very beginning of the
war. Germany has employed instru-
ments and measures on the seas that
have at least been the subject OF
profound disaffection among neutral
as well as belligerent countries. The
enemies Of Germany insist on en-
ploying to the limit of efficiency the
weapons which they hold. They are
in life-and-death grapple; no grips
seem to be barred by any rules now
enforced; and their attitude, like
that of Germany, is simply that II

"ONE HUNDRED BEST BOOKS" CWITH A COMMENTARY AND AN ESSAY ON BOOKS AND READING). By John Cowper Powys. G. Arnold Shaw, publisher, New York.

there Is no doubt of their value as breed CTS of strong, healthy, vigorous chicks. No poultryman should dispose of his breeders merely on account of their age alone until they are at least three years old, and then only those that have shown indications of breaking down. No matter how small the flock, a few thoroughly sea soned breeders of known producing characteristics should be retained. The great expense incident to poultry keeping is the renewal of the flocks and from a practical business standpoint the cost of these renewals should be kept at a mini mum.
 With careful culling and marketing only those hens that failed to measure up to the standard as producers should be marketed, and if this idea Is fol- lowed there will be greater profits in the poultry industry. It is not difficult matter to determine which individuals have been poor producers-those that are drones-eating their feed and giving little or no returns. These birds should be dis posed of as soon as possible, no matter at what season, for the longer they are retained the greater the loss
 Now that the young bullets are ready to take their places in the laying flocks these, too, should be rigidly culled, and only those retined that show evidence of maturing into sturdy, vigorous hens All
  should be prepared for market.
 In getting these birds ready for market they should be divided according to their condition. Fat hens are ready at once, and will bring good prices as stewing fowls. If they are old and in poor con- dition they had better be marketed alive at so much per head. Pullets that are off in condition but healthy and growing may be placed in yards or allowed free range with the cockerels and fitted for market at the same time.
 Marketing conditions vary in different localities and the successful poultryman always studies the market requirements in his locality, so as to be able to dis pose of his fowls to the best advantage.
 There Is science In feeding poultry. No one grain should be fed exclusively. Some feeds furnish more heat and fat than others, and some are better adapted to growing feathers and to producing bone and eggs. Consequently when a ration is well balanced the object is more readily attained. The analysis of grains and their by-products is the sub ject of next weeks article.

The Telephone Helps Truth
From Leslie's.

 Telephone! The telephone has put premium on truth! It therefore has sentimental as well as practical value. And the telephones tremendous growth was largely created by systematic adver- Using. At least this is what Vice Pres ident Kingsbury of the American Tele- phone and Telegraph company said in his recent address to the Associate Advertise ing Clubs of the World. He stated that the telephone company had added 1,6sO,O telephones between 1904 and 1908, but be- tween 1908 and 1913, when it's advertising campaign was under way, the company gained the enormous increase in subscrib- CTS of 2,200,000. The telephone Is . truth creator because on must be careful of spoken words and see that he makes them good. Transactions occurring daily on the New York stock exchange involv- ing millions of dollars are made over the telephone. In other fields of enterprise business transactions of prime importance are decided by minutes conversation over the phone. In social matters, births, death and marriages are announced, and visits arranged; so that in every play, and Tn almost every moving picture the telephone necessarily has it's part. It Is the voice of the people and 1t is not sur prising that to those who hear it for the first time it's messages are as mysterious as voice from the unknown world.

Light and Dark Brahma Bantams were originated in England. They were pro- duced by crossing large Brahmas with Cochin and Black Tailed Japanese Ban- tams. The latter cross showed strongly in the first of these that were imported to America.
 Some enterprising American fanciers selected the best of the first specimens and recrossed them with splendid but undersized specimens of the large Light Brahmas, with the result that they es- tablished a strain of Light Brahma Ban tams which were in fact miniature Light Brahmas. These are good Brahmas in shape, feathered just heavily enough on the shanks and have very little or no hook feathering. In addition the black mark

ings are much improved and more dis tinct. The only bad feature was that they were somewhat larger in size This defect, however, has been remedied dur ing the last seven or eight years. The winners at our best shows are quite small, no larger than is demanded by the American standard, which requires a weight of from 26 to 30 ounces for males, and "A to 26 ounces for females.
 Many of these improved Brahma Ban tams have been exported to England and are the foundation of some of the best English winners today

 From Eesper brightest of her kind, To the dimmest> points that burn;
 The whole galaxy where I find, And from them seldom turn.
 To view above the heavily fold, So famed in song and story; Neglected are my youthful haunts Among the astral glory. The changing moods that pass within, Revealing each it's story, These make her face a zodiac,
 And make her eyes so starry. 
 Sometimes she smiles and when she does, How brightly geam her star-eyes!
 And then I VOW that they outstrip The glory of the sunrise But anger-squalls sometimes o'ercast, Then how the sparks are rained!
 And sometimes I am even doomed
 To view their 1ustre tear-stained.
 And while they may not constant be As the changeless orbs on high; Yet still I somehow love their light And cannot pass it by

 MARKETING COCKERELS
 There are numerous methods of market ing the surplus cockerels, but much de- bends upon the equipment and resources of the operator. The easiest method is to keep them penned up for a few days, giving them plenty of soft mash food, and keeping fresh clean water before them at all times, after which they may be shipped to market alive. Thus the expense of feeding is cut off and all the labor of killing and dressing is removed
 Soft roasters are always in demand at good market prices, but 1t requires from 10 to F weeks to get the birds in best possible market condition so as to com- mand highest prices. Where this method Is pursued the birds should run on limited range They should receive lib- eral feeding until they develop large bodies capable of supporting great quan- titles of muscle and fat.
 Where the necessary skill and equrp ment is at hand, quite a profitable busi- ness may be built by marketing surplus males as capons. This is not difficult matter and it Is practicable for small or large flocks.
 Marketing surplus breeders is a prob lem over which many poultrymen have stumbled, and where mistakes are not discovered until it is too late.
 It is wrong to think that all yearling hens should be discarded, regardless of their previous performances. This is common error that has cost many poul- tryment the loss of capital and years of hard labor. Here, again, the value of the trap nest is evident. Females that have proven their worth as breeders, either in producing show birds bullets that were prolific layers, should be retained until they are four or five years of age, provid- ing they maintain their vigor and vitality. Despite the fact that many breeders claim that bullets are the more profitable, it has been conclusively proven that the yearling, two-year-old and even the three year-old hens are good investment. Be- sides being profitable as egg producers,
