SCORES DIARIES
MASSACHUSETTS
declares They Are Filthy and
Send Meanest Milk into BOs-
tOn-FarmerS Unclean

Boston, Feb. 2a.-"Massachusetts daires
are filthy and the milk that comes from
them is the meanest coming into Boston,
Charles F. Hood, president and treasurer
of a large firm of milk contractors. as
serted during testimony tonight at the IN
vestigation of milk transportation rates
by the Interstate Commerce Commission.
I'VE have had more trouble with Mass
achusetts farmers than any others we
have ever dealt with,' the witness said.
"It is due to the rottenness right around
us here and it should be cleaned up"
"As a rule Massachusetts farmers are
not Clean" he continued. Their barns
are dirty. their milk it not up to the
standard, and yet it is said the people of
Boston should buy Massa chusetts milk
that the farmers of Maine, New Hamp-
shire and Vermont would be made to
clean up"
Mr. Hood said he was certain of the
truth Of his statements because his own
milk inspectors had examined these dali
ries and reported them to the health au-
thorities.
I'VE came near being excluded from a
city on account of these farmers" said
he. "The city authorities are disgusted

BRITISH VIEW
OF STATUS OF
ARMED SHIPS

London, Feb. 29.-On the eve of the
date set by Germany for the begin
ninS of her new submarine campaign
against armed merchant vessels, LORD
Robert Cecil, minister of war trade
has issued Il statement giving the
British view of the status of such mer.
chantmen. This statement, which is in
answer to queries whether merchant
men have been instructed to take the
offensive against submarines, SAYS:
THE British view has always
been that defensiveIy armed mer.
chantnen must not fire on submar-
Tres or on any other warships, ex-
ccpt in self defense. The Germans
have twisted a passage in a docu.
ncent taken from 4 transport which
they sank into meaning that mer-
chant vessels have instructions to
take the offensive. This is not SO.
"The passage in question, which
lays down a maximum distance be-
yond which merchant ships are ad-
vised not to fire, must be read in
conjunction will, another passage,
which makes it perfectly clear that
merchant vessels must not attack
unless a submarine shows unmis.
taxable hostile Intentions"

SEIZED VESSELS
WORTH MILLIONS

Washington, Feb. 29.-The ships seized
by Italy are worth millions of dollars A
total of 81 German and Austrian vessels
are in Italian ports, the Austrian ships
having been seized when Italy declared
war on the dual monarchy The status
of the German vessels until now has
been the same that of the German
vessels which remained in American ports
after war began.
The allied nations are short Of ships,
and transfer of the German vessels to the
flag of Italy and their use by the Allies
would do much towards relieving the
congestion of goods on American docks
awaiting shipment to the allied coun-
tries. Officials here explaine today that
vessels of an enemy country impressed
into service were operated by the gov
ernment, and revenues derived were kept,
as separate accounts. At the conclusion
of peace the revenues are accounted for,
and a settlement is made.
The largest German vessels now in.
Italian ports, according to data here. are
the Koenig Albert, 10,4Si tons. and the
Moltke, 1886 tons, both at Genoa, and
the Bayern, SOo6 tons. at Naples.

Results of BOmbardment

In the Vosges mountains there has also
been great artillery activities by the
French near Senones and Ban De Sapt.
while near Sepois the Germans have been
driven out of trenches they had previous
ly taken. In the Champagne, German
fortified works in~,the region Of Hill 19a
have been battered by the French guns
and the crater of a mine euploded by the
Germans was occupied by the French.
German Gains
The Germans have added several addi-
tional points to their terraine in the fight
ing about Nerdun, having been enabled
to construct trenches on the slopes nortn
of the Cote Du Poivre, and to capture
an armored work northwest of Douau-
mont, and have taken the towns of Man
heulles and Champion, u miles southeast
of Nerdun.
In this drive to the east of Ncrdun the
advance of the Germans has extended
over IrOTt OI virtually l. IhlieS-lIoIil
Dieppe to Champion.
Berlin reports that thus far they have
taken prisoner 22S officers, 16,O75 men and
a large number of guns. machine guns
and much war material. There has been
considerable artillery activity and fights
in the air between battalions of German
and British aviators along the British
front in France and Belgium.
In the Dvinsk region of Russia the Rus
slams have driven the Germans back and
advanced their line. and put down under
heavy fire an attempt at a counter at
tack.
Statement on Erzerum Attack
In a lengthy statement, in reply to
an official communication issued from
Constantinople the Russian general
staff describes the powerful defenses
which guarded Erzerum and declares
that the force of the Russians attack
can be estimated by the fact that some
Turkish army corps of three divisions
each now number only few thousand
men, all the remainder having either
perished or been taken prisoners.
Details are lacking concerning the
disaster to the French auxiliary cruis-
er Provence, which has been lost in
the Mediterranean. While the French
minister of marine estimates the num-
Der Of survivors at $40. no estimate is
made Of the casualties.
Wilson's Challenge
On the eve of the opening of Ger
many's submarine campaign against
armed merchantmen. President Wilson
has thrown down the gauntlet to Con-
gress over the resolutions which have
been introduced, having as their pur-
pose the warning of Americans from
travelling on armed merchantmen. In
a letter to Rep. Pou, acting chairman
of the House rules committee, the
President has asked that the matter be
brought to a vote in the House. 1t is
his intention to ask for similar action
in the Senate. The Presidents step is
taken in order that "all doubts and
conjectures may be swept away and
our relations once more cleared Of
damaging misunderstanding"

Purport of Orders

Although under their new instruc-
t1ons, Teutonic naval commanders are
authorized to sink without warning all
armed enemy merchantmen they en-
counter, it is understood they have
been told to make sure if possible that
no American citizens are aboard any
ship attacked. Furthermore, in the
latest communication regarding sub
marine warfare, Germany has assured
the United States that the new orders
are so formulated as to prevent the
destruction Of enemy liners ION ac-
count of their armament unless such
armament is proved"
U. S. Attitude Uncertain
The attitude of the United States
government toward the new policy of
Germany and Austria has not been
definitely determined. President Will
son today discussed the subject in d
conference with Secretary Lansing and
then laid the German communication
before his cabinet. Later. it was said
that because the all Important ap-
pendices to the German memora ndum
had been delayed in transit, the State
department thus far was unable to de-
,termine whether claims set forward by
Germany and Austria in justification
of their course We're sustained. More
over il has not yet 1 been decided
whether. the reiterated assurances re-
garding the future conduct ofssubnla-
rlne warfare contained in the German
note are of a character broad enough
to warrant acceptance of the German
proposal to settle the issues growing
out of the sinking of the Lusitania A
decision in that connection may be
made within a few days and the State
department tomorrow probably will
take steps to determine what has be-
come of the missing appendices, which
We're started in the mails from Ger
many nearly three weeks ago.
Possible Complications
Meanwhile, if any American citizen
is injured during an attack by a sub
marine on a merchant ship which does
not use and has no intention Of using
its armament otherwise than defen-
sively, a grave situation will arise
The United States stands at this time,
as it has always done for the right Of
American citizens to travel with safe
ty on defensively armed ships. If the
German contentious are sustained,

Washington, Feb. 29-The campaign
for national preparedness will enter on a
new phase in Congress next week when
in all probability bills providing for in
creasing the army to an extent never
before known in time of peace will be
introduced in both the House and Senate.
The House military committee will be-
gin tomorrow its final review of the
measure tentatively agreed upon last
week and which, it is stated. will be al
tered only in minor details before it is
favorably reported. The final vote prob
ably will be taken Thursday, but it will
require several days for Chairman Hay
to prepare a report to accompany the
bill. The Senate committee agreed today
to insert only general provision for
liberalization Of the National Guard in
its regular army reorganization measure,
leaving the task Of putting this legisla-
ton in shape to the joint conference COM
mittee to which the two bills will go. BY
this action the Senate committee made
it possible to bring out it's bill also next

Admiral Knights Testimony.
Before the House naval committee Rear
Admiral knight continued today his rec
concentrations that every facility in the
country be employed to hasten construc-
ton of fleet equal to those of any two
nations except Great Britain. American
policies such as the Monroe Doctrine,
Asiatic exclusion. control of the Panama
canal and the open door in China, he de-
clared. constitute a great and growing
threat of war unless adequate prepara-
tions to uphold them are made
Admiral knight said he believed it
would take two years and a half to make
the navy efficient enough to meet the
present German feet with any hope Of
success. The time limit he set was the
minimum required to build nine battle
cruisers and eight fast scouts. He said
it would take IS months to put the ships
of the Atlantic fleet in full active COM
mission. in readiness for war.
