The Wireless

PEKING, April 11.-Since the out
break of the Yunnan revolution and
the invasion of Szechuen province by
the revolutionists, the central govern
ment has fully realized the necessity
for wireless telegraphs. The rebels
have constantly interfered with the
telegraph and telephone lines, and
consequently communication has been
extrmeley difficult between Picking and
Chengtu and Chungking, the centers
from which the government has been
endeavoring to direct its efforts against
the rebels. Wireless stations are to be
erected Immediately at both Chengtu
and Chungfiking, the minister of COM
munications having despatched the di-
rector of telegraphs to Szechuen prov
ince for the purpose Of constructing
the two wirtless stations.
Plans are under consideration for
the erection OF wireless stations along
the great wall northward of Picking,
where it will be possible to check the
if the Picking government can keep
operations of bandits more effectively
various detachments of troops in con-
slant communication.

100000 FED BY

According to reports received here,
100000 persons in Jerusalem are now
receiving daily rations from the Amer
lean Relief Fund.
A woman engaged in relief work
there writes:
Everything costs four times as
much as before, so you can imagine
what a state the pople are in. Our poor
children look like skeletons. Bread is
very dear and the places are very
small. All the fathers have been taken
away Off soldiers and the mothers are
miserable and weak"
An English woman who has arrived
here from Palestine by way of Cyprus
states that the Turks fully expect that
the Allies will invade the country and
are devoting much energy to prepare
lions to repel them. They have con-
structed numerous military roads
They have fortified the Mount of Olives
and believe that they have made 1t i'm
pregnable.
Meanwhile, she says, the economic
situation is deplorable. AS it is impos-
sible to export the oranges they have
been allowed to rot on the trees.
Public executions are frequent, At
Jaffa, Haly Hamis, the chief boatman
of tourist agency and the Kavas
military courier) of the American
consulate, we'll known to all tourists
in Palestine, has been hanged on a
charge Of espionage. Emil Knesevitch,
son of the British consular agent at
Jaffa, was saved from a similar fate
only by the Intervention of DR.. Glaze

alem. He was accused of having re.

Berlin Figures
On The Outcome

BERLIN, April 11.-One of the most
inevitable industrial consequences of
tie war will be, in the opinion of Pro-
lessor Francke, editor of the Soziale
Praxis, the strengthening of the posi-
tion of employers, individually and as
ISOLATED in declarations. In the course
Of the war, the professor says, the pow
er Of the employers have enorm-
ously increased, and although their
numbers have been diminished, their
strength does not rest so much on
|, their numbers as men, as on the num-
Der of their establishments.
LAS rule" professor Francke con-
tinues, these establishments have i'm
proved and strengthened their posi-
tions, and have increased in concen-
tration. There are now fewer inde-
pendent groups of industries. Unity
among them is practically complete
and there can be no longer any doubt
that German industrials after the war
will be hand in hand with the agricul-
tural alliances and with the middle
class leagues.
THE leading men of the most i'm
portant industries are already stating
through the press their principles re
main unchanged, and assume with alb
solute conviction that they are the
masters Of the situation. They insis:
that Social Democracy shall learn a
lesson from the war, and re-write the
principles which have hitherto guided
it.. But they themselves decline to re-
write anything and, therefore, when
peace comes, there will be peace and
relief from years of bloodshed, but the
war of labor will succeed it, and no
one knows whittier its battles will
lead"

Helping Feed
German Empire

MUNICH, Germany, April IL
Though her imports of cattle have
dwindled away to almost nothing, Ba-
varia more than any other German
state has done her share of helping to
feed the rest of Germany by increasing
steadily her exports.
Figures just compiled show that dur
ing the month prior to the war, with
an average monthly import Of 1000
head of cattle, Bavaria exported but
10000: increased this to 10000 head in
December, 1915: and to 10000 head in
January, 1916.
Before the war Bavaria imported on
an average million hogs year, and
now imports none. Yet during all the
months of the conflict she has steadily
supplied her neighboring and allied
states with the ever rarer swine. In
addition, she has turned over to the
army on an average $4,000 head of cat
tie monthly.
Countless oxen have been sent from
Bavaria to other parts of Germany,
notably East Prussia, where they are
urgently needed in place of horses. Ba-
varia too has reduced her annual use
of butter to three Kilograms per per-
son, and thus is able to supply part of
the Is kilograms per person used an
nually in North Germany.

NEW FREIGHT ROUTE
To THE FAR EAST

TOXIC, April 11.-Another company
is planning to inaugurate a freight
service between the United States and
the Far East. 1t is known as Shes
hcyoko, a shipping and coaling firm of
Toxic and it is preparing to place four
ships on the Pacific, running monthly.
The promoters, who already send ships
on the Australian route, believe that
the freight rates for goods shipped
across the Pacific are high enough to
permit unsubsidized companies to
make profit in competition with the
three big subsidized companies, the
Nippon Yhsen Kaisha and the Osaka
Shosen Kaisha.
1t is understood that the first steam
err the Kageshima Of 1000 tons, will
leave Kobe for the United States via
Yokohama about the middle of June.
The other ships to be used in this SER
vice will be the Esan Maru, 5000 tons !;
the Ataka Maru, 5000 tons and the
T'airen Maru, 5000 tons. On their
homeward voyages the vessels will
propbably call at Vladivostok to un-
load war supplies for Russia.
At present the cargo awaiting ship
ment from Japan TO America is far
larger than the space available.

COTTONSEED MEAL
IMPORTANT BY THE
LACK Of FERTILIZER

WASHINGTON, D. c., April 11.-At
the present time when potash in form
OF salts is practically unobtainable and
when both nitrogen and acid phosphate
have advanced in price because Of the
use of nitrates and sulphuric acid for
munition purposes, cotton seed meal,
hich carries all three of the fertiliz-
erE approximately 100000 tons hav-
ing been so used in 1913.
Cottonseed meal, the residue after
the oil has been extracted from cot
tonseed, is a dry, yellowish powder,
having excellent mechanical proper
ties for fertilizer mixtures and con-
tains about 6.5 per cent. of nitrogen,
9 per cent. of phosphoric acid and 9
per cent. Of potash. 1t is, therefore,
according to specialists of the u. 8.
department of agriculture, primarily
a heterogeneous fertilizer, but under the
present conditions its potash content is
highly important and Is q decided fac.
tor in determining the price at which
the material is sold.
In practice cottonseed meal should
be mixed with other ingredients. Most
OF the formulas heretofore published
have advocated various proportions of
acid phosphate and muriate of potash
III combination with cottonseed meal.
Muriate of potash is to all intents and
purposes unobtainable this year and
must be ommitted from present con.
sideration. If 1000 pounds of cotton.
seed meal and 1000 pounds of acid
phosphate are mixed, however, a toa
of material results which contains
about 1870 pounds of phosphoric acid,
65 pounds of nitrogen and 20 pounds of
potash. This is about per cent. phos-
phoric acid, 1926 per cent nitrogen and
per cent potash, and makes very
satisfactory mixture for many soils
! where field crops are to be grown. For
trucking and gardening present prac-
tice demands higher content of pot
ash, and the mixture may be supple
mented by the application of unleachei
, wood ashes if obtainable.
Nitrogen in cottonseed meal is not
so quickly available as when applied
in the form of nitrate, but on the other
hand is not so likely to be leached out
in times of heavy rainfall. In light
sandy soils where teaching is rapid the
use of organic material such as cot
tonseed meal is to be preferred in
supplying the necessary nitrogen. De-
cay if the organic material liberates
the nitrogen gradually and there is
much less danger of loss than is the
case when soluble salts, like Chilean
nitrate, are used.
Most of the mineral ingredients in
cottonseed meal are recovered in the
manure if the material is used as a
cattle feed. The most economical use
Of cottonseed meal is, therefore, to
feed it and apply the manure to the
land. In this way the material is made
to serve double purpose. European
dairymen have for some years bought
large quantities of American cotton
seed meal for feeding purposes. AS
