intense interest. On June 5 Field
Marshal Earl Kitchener, Great Brit
aims famous minister of war, was
drowned with his staff off the Ork-
neys when the cruiser Hampshire
went down. 1t was at first thought
the cruiser had been the victim of a
submarine, but this theory was gen
orally discarded when it was learned
that the warship had struck a mine
and gone down in the midst of ter
rife storm.
The second year of the war was a
memorable one as far as the United
States was concerned. 1t marked the
apparent final passing of the crisis
between this country and Germany
over the submarine warfare, which
threatened more than once a rupture
of relations, and even war. The sink
ing of the White Star liner Arabic
on August 10 by a submarine with
out warning, in which two American
lives were lost, made the situation
acute. Germany at first refused to
give adequate satisfaction and guar
antees and on April 10 President Will
son laid the situation before Congress.
The previous day he had dispatched
note to Germany which was vir-
tually an ultimatum.
On May Germany promised that
no more liners or merchantmen would
be sunk without warning and without
ample opportunity for the escape of
crews and passengers. These prom
Uses were considered satisfactory by
! the president, and the war cloud lift
ed. Since that time a large number
of ships have been sunk by German
and Austrian submarines, but ths
rules of international law have beer
! generally observed.

wEEDY HAY GRADES LOW.

If weeds made as good hay as cui-'
tivated crops every farmer weuio nave
plenty of hay and a hay shortage
would be U:ikrcwn But experience
has shown that weeds - net rake
good hay. That was learned many
years ago before feeding tests We're
made. The crops which contained the
most and best food clements were Sc
lected. That is why some crops arc
cultivated and others are not.
Certainly no one would expect 70
make good hay of weeds, but a great
many farmers do not object TO few
weeds in their hay crops. Now the
quality and value Of hay varies III
rectly with the 2mount Of weeds it
contains if other conditions arc equal.
The more weeds it contains the poor
er it is. A few farmers do not oh
ject to the weeds because they intend
to feed the hay themselves.
Why they should expect their ami
mails to thrive on weeds when other
animals cannot and why they should
expect weeds to make a good hay for
their own animals has not been de-
termined. If weeds were good for
their work animals they would be
good for others and no discrimination
would be made against weedy hay.
1t is indeed cheaper to raise weeds
IN to grow cultivated crops, and It
requires more preparation and care
TO keep them out Of hay, but the ex-
pense of such precautions will be
more than repaid by the better quail
ity of hay.

FORAGE CROPS FOR EXHIBITS
SHOULD NOT BE OVER RIPE

Every farmer in the state should
take some exhibits to his local fair
this year. Large exhibits make good
fairs and the farmers are responsible
for the agricultural part Of them.
Good exhibits cannot be made on short
notice, however, and preparations
must be made in advance.
All kinds Of forage should be cut
for exhibition at blooming time. If
they are dried on floor not expo ed
to the sun and turned every day hey
win retain their green color and not
lose their leaves. Remember that
color, neatness and quality count
with the judges. Forage that is not
baled should be tied in bundles Of ten
to fifty pounds. If corn is to be shown
it must be carefully handled 80 that
none Of the kernels viii be dislodged.

years since tho killing which took

fugitive from justice until last July
when he was brought back to Lake
county from North Carolina.
Since Railey's return. Prosecutor J.
A. Patterson told Judge Hardy in the
the superior court this morning. he had
been unable to find any evidence. Those
who knew anything about the shooting.
he found, had left Gary and could not
be located. Furthermore, he said,
Railey told a plausible story of self
defense, and, he added. that he was
strengthened in his position to dismiss
the case. by information he received
from Miss Welding. the secretary of
Associated Charities in Gary. Miss
Welding was in the court room hut did
not testify. She has been looking aft

live in Gary.
This is a serious charge to be dis

dence against Railey. he entered the
order dismissing the case.

WILSON
HAS NOT
DECIDED

WASHINGTON. Dec. 15.-For nearly
two hours todoy. President Wilson and
Secretary Lansing considered the
question of experimenting the forward
ing Of the German peace proposal to
allied capitals with some suggestions
from this government. At the con-
clusion of the conference neither the
president or Lansing would throw any
light on what decision had been reach
ed.
There is no announcement TO be
made at present said Lansing TO
newspaper men.
1t was indicated after the conference
that the state department at least has
little on which to work in the way OF
expressions of public sentiment in this
country except as voiced in the news
paper. IN the past the state depart
ment has been flooded with kilograms

BURGLARS RANSACK
PHYSICIANS OFFICE

The Office Of DR.. T. c. Economus,
423h Fifteenth street, Moline, was
entered last Wednesday night by
burglars who took with them set Of
surgical instruments, a set of hypo-
dermic syringes, set of special in
struments for throat examination, and
a case of drugs, tablets, etc, the entire
loot being valued at several hundred
dollars. 1t is believed by the physi-
clan that the theft was committed by
dope fiends, who, in their haste, took
along the cases of instruments, be-
lieving that they contained drugs. Sup
position is that all the articles, with
the exception of the syringes, will be
recovered. Probably an attempt will be
made to dispose of the instruments in
another city.
Dr.. Economus is perpleXed because
of the fact that the door to his Office
was opened with a key. The lock is
not an ordinary one. The burglary
took place between midnight and a.

is accounted for by the fact that pei
cent of the collections go to the town

JITBUS CHARGES TO
REMAIN UNCHANGED

Chauffeurs' union No. 26S, whose
members. comprise taxi operators Of
Moline, Rock Island and East Moline,
in business session this morning
reached decision not to advance rates
for hauling passengers between Moline
and Rock Island, as was contemplated.
The rates will remain the same, said
G. W. Hart, an officer Of the union.
AT present we are charging cents a
passenger between the two cities be-
fore midnight and 10 cents thereafter.
We decided at our meeting today that
it would be inadvisable to advance the
charge at this time"
Several days ago there was talk of
charging 10 cents passenger, and the
failure to do so will no doubt be re-
ceived with delight by jitbus patrons.
