Statements of Admiral Won Holtzen-

The conclusion was drawn by some
officials that perhaps modification of
the sternness of the demand offered
the only chance of avoiding diplo.

Such a modification is out of the
question. they say. 1t is estimated
officially this government will leave
to Germany the question OF whether
she can conduct warfare without yio-
lating international law and still make

Pledges Not Effective.
Announcement of the application of
the so called Mediterranean pledges
to the English zone probably would
not meet American demands, it is
said, inasmuch as this government re-
CARDS these pledges have not been ef-
fective.
If Germany agrees to the visit and
search provision and provides ample
safety for passengers America will
accept it. But Germany must adhere
to its pledges. The problem thus
comes down to a question as to wheth-
er Germany is ready for abandonment
of her present submarine methods,
which in any event must be the first
step toward a new policy and the
healing of strained relations
Authorities feel that the German
admirals statement is indicative of
firm position on Germany's part of an
unwillingness TO make her practices
square with American demands.

POULTRY YARD NOTES.

The annual poultry show is beneficial
to both the utility farmer and the
fancier. 1t is educational. 1t points
and does yeoman work in killing the
interests of cross-breeding and mon
grelism. The fancier deserves world
of credit for his painstaking work,
and the poultry show is indispensa BILE
for it's advertising facilities.
The man who will decry the poultry
exhibitions simply because he raises
nothing but ia BILE poultry and table
eggs is not a good utility man. He
needs the inf lence of a good show. He
lacks wisdom.
The true utility breeder is one who
opposes fnonGrelisn and employs solely
pure breeds Tor his purpose. The an
nual exhibitions are Of great use In
this particular, giving strong object
lessons. Here not alone fine feathers
and correct markings are displayed
but the form and the meat qualifica-
tions are at once exposed to view. II
requires but ordinary intelligence to
determine whether or not certain
breed would be an advantage to the
poulterer's yards.
Harrison Weir. the famous English
authority, in the Poultry Book, says:
1T must be clear to every observant mind
as the craze for mongrelism is ram
pant and still gains credit with the credu-
lous that were it not for our poultry
shows our tried, scrviceable, in all ways
valuable pure breeds would very soon
cease TO exist-these old fowls Of ours,
the work of ages. the perfection Of table
fowls. the abundant layers Of good. white
eggs the beautiful. The grand. the stately
well formed. delicate feshed, easily
bred ard easily fatted, unsurpassed, long
cherished. for all their profitable uses.
say emphaticaily. were it not for the
poultry shows these, and the like of
these. would be things of the past. and to
the lasting disgrace Of the poultryman Of
today they would become extinct. Hap
ply, so far there are some who know
the double value Of purity of breed, and
II is to these and only these that the
country can look for help to regain what
is already comparatively lost-the old
and enviable position Of having the best
and most perfect table fowls in the
world
That was written from an English
viewpoint, and refers to conditions as
found in that country, but ii is equally
applicable to America.
