As Finally Disposed OF

Washington. May 6.--The submar-
Inc issue Ia closed, In the yiew Of
President Wilson's advisers today.
No comment was forthcoming from
the White House. SO completely do
officials In touch with the situation
consider the issue disposed of that
II was said there would be no reply
by the president.
Secretary Lansing may issue q
statement calling attention to the
essential polnt-that Germany order
ed Its submarine activities confined
to vessels OF war. This Is the essence
OF the reply. officials say. and leaves
no actual issues.
The issue will remain closed, Il Is
believed. II is felt that Germany
will not reopen the case by resuming
Its undersea warfare against merch-
ant vessels. officials believe every
care will be taken to prevent COM
manders from violating their in
strnctions, and see danger only in
the fact that submarine commanders
are mostly young. and some OF them
perhaps difficult to control.
But Germany having once quit sub
marlning merchant men. no high bf-
flcial regards II within the range OF
possibility that she will resume such
operations.

AMERICANS IN

FOR PEACE MOVE

Berlin, May 6.--American circles
today pointed out the Importance OF
the peace feature contained In the
German reply to the American sub
marine note. They expressed the be-
lief that President Wilson has a great
opportunity to bring the war to an
early end. Some persons even sug-
gested that the time was now ripe
for Colonel House to again visit the
European capitals.
Newspapers here praised the Ger
man reply and expressed hope that
1t would satisfy President Wilson
and the Americans. There were no
adverse editorials.
Newspapers admitted that England
would vigorously oppose the effort by
the United States to curtail its Illegal
blockade of the central empires.
1t was pointed out that the block
ade is as valuable to England as the
submarine Is to Germany. and that
II will require unusual pressure from
America to force the British to q
strict compliance with international
law.
The Tageblatt expressed a hope
that the note would accomplish its
purpose. The Lokal Anzeiger hoped
that It would satisfy the Americans
and congress. even IL It did not sue
ceed with President Wilson. The
vossiche Zeitung emphasized the
charge that Wilson is one-sidedly
neutral and added that Germany had
made an honest and earnest endea-
vor to avoid q break.

A few general principals must be kept
in mind. Other things are among the
nonessentials A dry location with
drainage away from the house; south
ern exposure; largest possible daily
bath of sunlight; plenty of fresh air
but no deadly drafts; comfortable and
ample sleeping quarters; the great
est possible conveniences for keeping
the house clean, and for the general
care of the flock winter and summer

stances.
Strain, Stamina and Health

are loafers insteads of layers. The
poultryman who does not discrimin-

likely to lose his interest in the work.
Nothing keeps the amateurs zeal at
white heat so much as a steady supply
Of eggs winter and summer.
Insist above all things on strong
stamina and perfect health in the
fowls that you purchase. Be certain
that you get no weaklings for your
cash, and no victims of roup or other
dreaded poultry diseases. Test newly
purchased birds by themselves a few
days before putting them in pens with
stock that you value highly
1t must never be forgotten that
Poultry Culture is a fine art 1t isn't

a henhouse is the first consideration

Finds Intended Bride
Is His Half-Sister

Pittsburgh. When he was about
to marry the girl of his choice an in
vestigation showed Dominick Torcasso
aged 20, to be the half-brother of the
girl and the son by a first marriage
of the woman who was his boarding
mistress. He had made his home with
the woman for a year with no knowl-
edge of his relationship.
Torcasso came here about a year
ago and went to live with Mrs. Mary
Vicino, of White avenue, Grafton, and
fell in love with Marie, her 1S-year-
old daughter. The young mans
mother had come to this country when
he was an infant. A friend, who
came from the same village in Italy
as Torcasso, spoke to the woman.
Explanations were in order, which, it
is said, proved beyond doubt the
girl to be his half-sister and the girls
mother to be his mother.

ed by the famous Pekins. Their
breeders state that they are good lay
ers and grow well, developing equally
as fast as the Pekin. Although pos
sessing these utility qualities, breed
ing stock would necessarily cost more
because of its variety, and those en-
deavoring to establish a commercial
duck farm would naturally stock it
with Pekin or Indian Runners be-
cause they could obtain the naturally
large quantity of breeding ducks at
considerably less cost.
The brakes weigh six to eight
pounds. and the ducks five to seven
pounds, according to age. The ducks
are good layers and will sit, hatch and
rear the ducklings.

it is the better the specimen.
