The cause Of poor matches of poul-

poor hatch is more apt to be due to
the condition of the eggs previous to

improper handling of either factor
will produce the same results. When
eggs fail to hatch an Investigation

chant vessels of all sorts, nationali-
ties and destinations which have be-
come more and more unmistakable
as the activity OF German undersea
vessels of war has in recent months
been quickened and extended.
'The imperial government will re-
call that when in February. 1915, il
announced its intention of treating
the waters surrounding Great Britain
and Ireland as embraced within the
seat OF war, and of destroying all
merchant ships owned by its enemies

neutral as well as belligerent. to keep
out Of the waters thus prescribed, or
to enter them At their peril. the gov
ernment of the United States earn
estly protested. 1t took the position
that such a policy could not be pur-
sued without constant gross and pal
pable violations of the accepted law
of nations. particularly IL submarine
craft were to be employed as its in
struments, inasmuch as the rules pre-
scribed by that law. rules founded on
the principles of humanity and estab-
lished for the protection of the lives
OF noncombatants at sea, could not in
the nature of the case be observed by
such vessels. 1t based its protest on
the ground that persons Of neutral
nationality and vessels of neutral
ownership would be exposed to ex-
treme and intolerable risks; and that
no right to close any part of the
high seas could lawfully be asserted
by the imperial government in the
circumstances th az existing. The law
of nations in these matters upon
which the government of the United
States based that protest Is not of
recent origin or founded upon merely
arbitrary principles set up by con-
vention. It Is based. on the contrary,
upon manifest principles of humanity
and has long been established with
sent of all civilized nations.
Government Persisted.
''The imperial government. notwith-
standing, persisted in carrying out the
policy announced, expressing the hope
that the dangers involved. at any rate
to neutral vessels, would be reduced
to minimum by the instructions
which it had issued to the command
ers of its submarines, and assuring
the government Of the United States
that 1t would take every possible pre-
caution, both to respect the rights of
neutrals and to safeguard the lives
of noncombatants. In pursuance of
this policy Of submarine warfare

saries thus announced and thus en-
