TRUE lNWARDNESS OF the
VERA CRUZ INCIDENT.

In the Spring of 1914, occur
red the capture Of Vera Cruz.
Men from one of our ships had
been arrested at Tampico and
had been discharged with an
apology. But our Admiral de-
manded a salute, which was re-
fused. Thereupon the President
went to Congress, asking au-
thority to use the armed forces
of the United States. Without
waiting for the passage of the
resolution, Vera Cruz was seiz-
ed. 1t appeared that shipload
Of ammunition for Huerta was
about to enter that port. There
was natural opposition to this
invasion and a battle occurred
in which nineteen Americans
and over hundred Me1icans
were killed. This, of course,
was war. Our dead soldiers
were praised for dying like
heroes In a war of service.
Later, we retired from Vera
Cruz, giving up this noble war;
fare. We had not obtained the
salute which was demanded.
We had not obtained repara-
ton for affronts. The ship with
ammunition which could not
land at Vera Cruz had soon
landed at another port, and its
cargo was delivered to Huerta
without interference. Recently
the naked truth was admitted
by a Cabinet officer. We are
now informed that I'VE did not
go to Vera Cruz to force Huerta
to salute the flag" We are
told that we went there Ito
show Mexico that we were in
earnest in our demand that
Huera must co." That Is, we
seized Vera Cruz to depose
Huerta. The question of the
salute was a mere pretext.-

LIVE STOCK
HUSBANDRY
HOG RAISING FOR
EASTERN FARMERS
Use Of Forage Crops Would
Make Swine Production
Profitable.
Prepared by United States department of
agricultural

Prepared by United States department of
agricultural
Hog raising in the eastern states is
not generally regarded as profitable,
and only about per cent of the total
number Of hogs in the country are to
be found in this section. The reason
for this, say animal husbandry ex-
perts Of the department Of agriculture,
Is that many eastern farmers do not
realize the value in swine production
of cheap forage and pasture. Where
hogs are kept in pens and fed On grain
alone there is little opportunity for
profit. In fact, no farmer Is in a posi-.
ton to raise hogs advantageously I'M
less he is well provided with pasture.
There Is widespread impression,
too, that only farmers who have rich,
level lands should raise hogs. AS a
matter of fact, farms that are some
what rolling are we'll suited for this
purpose. There is generally better
water supply on the upland farm, and
there is more likely to be shade.
Market Advantages.
A great advantage possessed by the
eastern farmer, whether his land is
level or rolling, is his situation in re-
gard to the large markets. The prices
paid for hogs in New York, Jersey
City, Philadelphia and Pittsburgh
average higher than the prices in any
Of the western markets. There is also
a large demand for fresh pork and
cured products in the local communi-
ties as we'll as in the larger cities.
Good hog feed can be raised in the
east. Corn Is being grown successfully
there, and in some sections the aver
age yield per acre is greater than in
the middle west. Glover, blue grass
and, in fact, many Of the forage crops
especially adapted for swine, grow
readily nearly everywhere In the east.
Rye, oats, barley and wheat make ex-
cellent early spring pasture for pigs,
and In the trucking sections large guam
titles Of unmarketable products are
wasted annually. These could be used
to advantage In the feeding Of hogs.
Skimmilk and buttermilk, the by
products Of dairy farms, are also uti-
lzed most profitably when fed to pigs.
Good Pasture Necessary.
For the farmer who Is contemplate
ing the raising Of hogs good pasture
should be the first consideration.
Grasses are succulent and rich in
muscle and bone forming material, but
the most important argument in favor
of pasture for swine in summer is its
small cost. The use of green feed al
ways reduces the expense Of producing
gains In weight and the earlier In the
year it can be supplied the better.
= For fall and early spring pasture In
the east the cereals are unexcelled.
For the farmer young wheat, oats, rye
and barley are excellent grazing crops

after the frost has killed clover. Any
Of these do we'll when planted singly
or in combination with Canada peas
and vetch. The pigs should be turned
in to pasture the crop when the plants
attain height Of about six to eight
inches, and taken off when the proper
ton of crude fiber fas become so great
that the animals begin to spit out the
chewed material.
Summer Forage Crop.
A satisfactory summer forage crop
Is field peas, either alone or with oats
or rape. The seeding for this crop
should be done in April or May, and
1t should be ready for pasture in about
thirty or forty days afterward. The
pigs should be turned in when the ear
lest pods are ripe and confined to
small plots by temporary fences or
hurdles. The vines that are left on
the ground after. the stock is through
with the harvesting enrich the soil and
add more humus to it. The great val
ue Of peas as pasture for swine Is far
too little understood.
3 Rape is another forage crop that may
be highly recommended wherever it
can be grown successfully. It may be
sown both early and late in the season,
but the best yields are usually obtain
ed with spring seeding. If the crop
Is not pastured too closely growth will
continue until fall. The hogs should
not be turned on the rape until the
plants are at least ten inches high. It
will take them some time, too, before
they acquire taste for the feed. anil

Train Employees

Demands to Road

New York, Aug. 7.-The task Of
counting the votes Of about 100000
railroad employees on the question OF

event that their demands for an eight
hour day, and time and half pay
for overtime are finally denied, was
completed just before noon today, it
was announced at headquarters here

though no official statement could be
obtained as to the result, it was learn
ed that the vote was Overwhelmingly
in favor of a strike.

mands to the railroad managers.
Mr.. Garretson, the official spokes-

amicable agreement failed. While re-
iterating that the men will not con-
slider the railroads plan of arbitra-
tion under present conditions. he

bitration is proposed than under the

Submarine Sighted
Off Maine Coast

Machies Port, Me-, Aug. Gap
tain Small Of the Cross Island Coast
Guard station reported this morning
that his station had sighted a large
submarine west bound. Its national
ity could not be determined, but the
captain said he had no doubt that it
was an undersea craft. The submarine
was coming to the surface when it
was sighted, and after running awash
fifteen minutes, again submerged. 1t
was thought that the vessel might be
the German submarine Bremen. So
far as can be learned there are no
United States submarines on the
Maine coast.
Washington, Aug. Navy officers
said today no American submarines
were known to be anywhere in the
vicinity of Cross island. They
thought the boat sighed there might
be the German merchant submersible

age or its sister ship, the Bremen,
bound in for the United States.

New York, Aug. 7.-The efforts Of
Mayor Mitchell and of Public Service
Commissioner Strauss to settle the
street railway strike in New York
failed today. After a protracted meet
ing the directors OF the New York
Railway company declined at this
time to ratify the tentative agree
ment proposed by the two public

A committee of New York Railway

The striking employees today ratified
the tentative agreement proposed by
Mayor Mitchell and Public Service

the agreement provides, it was
learned:
First, that the company shall con-

ond, the company shall agree to meet
