URGE UNION
OF NEUTRALS
Dutch Want the Nations to
Combine for Pro-
lection
NOT SATISFIED BY
GERMAN REPLY
Demand That Neutral Ship
ping Be Respected by
Warning Powers

The Hague, Netherlands, March 22.---
The official German declaration that nc
German submarine was responsible fol
the destruction of the Dutch steamship
Tubantia has failed TO satisfy the Dutch
people and press, whose resentment has
increased to bitter anger since receipt of
the news that other ships have been
sunk, supposedly by torpedoes. The ques-
ton of the utmost Importance to all
neutrals, the Nieuwe Potterdamsche Cou-
rant says, is whether neutral shipping in
entirety is to be placed outside the com.
munity of nations, as possessing no
rights whatever. This newspaper urges
combined neutral action-a line of argu'
ment also taken by the Vaderland and
the i'ieuwe Courant of The Hague.
Under the heading, 'gntolerable At.
tacks," the Amsterdam Handelsblad as
serts that President Wilson should take
the lead to protect civilization against
the new form of submarine warfare.
The newspaper also proposes that Ger
many should replace the Tubantia and
the Palembang by vessels of the German
mercantile marine.
Following comment is from the Social
ISL newspaper net Nolk:
1T would be folly to deny that excite
ment among the people is increasing since
the treaeherous attack on the Palem-
bang. 1t is a serious sign that the lead
ing newspapers no longer suppress state
ments as to the principle of war. Few
here attach credence to the German Off
cial assurance that the steamer Tuban-
tia was not torpedoed by German sub.
marine. Great Britain never thus far
has torpedoed neutral vessel while Ger
many has done so countless times"
The Het Volk, however, deduces from
the German communication denying that
a German submarine was responsible for
the sinking of the Tubantia that Ger
many is not seeking war with Holland,

then was strangled to death and the
body was hidden in trui <.
The murder was the climax OF pc
culiar tangle of relationships. Ida Bal
had eloped from her home near Winston
Salem with Samuel p. Christy, rail
road section foreman. Christy deserted
his legal wife and for two years Ida Ball
and Christy lived at Lynchburg, Va, a.
Mr.. and Mrs. S. p. kearn. This was IL
or l2sears ago.
They finally settled at Grand Saline,
Tex. where G.. j. Warren came to their
home TO board. Ida Ball proposed to
Warren that they return to her home in
North Carolina and marry. Warren
agreed and on Dec. s, 1912, they were
married in Winston. Salem by a local
magistrate.
Christy attempted to trace the clippers
from Texas but could not find them.
Finally Mrs. Warren wrote to him, he
testified, that she wanted to see him.
He went, and the plot to kill Warren
was concocted.

Many Birds Nest on Every Farm

Washington, ID. c.. Nov. lI.-Onc
hundred and twcnty-four pairs of birds
nest and raise their families on the
average farm of los acres in the
Northeastern States. according to eS-
Inmates based upon the second annual
bird count conducted by the biological
Survey of the I. S. Department of
Agriculture. In that part of the Plains
region east of the Tooth meridian the
counts would indicate almost exactly
the same density of bird population,
l25 pairs of nesting birds to each 100
acres. In the Southern States. where
tie counts were limited to the part of
the farm surrounding the home, which
naturally supports more birds than
titled areas. there seem To be on the
farms where counts were taken I'll
pairs of nesting birds to each 100
acres. The counts 80 far received. how
ever. from these sections do not fur
niSh a sufficient basis for estimating
the birds on the remainder Of the farm.
In the Northeastern States it WAS
estimated that the average bird popu-
Iation of each 100 acres of isolated
woodland under observation was 100
pairs. while the average bird popula-
ton for each 100 acres of the area
covered was I25 pairs. The report,
from the Rocky Mountain States would
Indicate that the bird population is
smaller in this section.
Three SO-acrc tracts in New Mexico
indicated Il pairs to 80 acres. or u
pairs to each 100 acres. Still farther
west in the irrigated district of West
ern Colorado two reports indicated
that irrigated land in orchard and in
fields of grain and other crops support
ed a bird population of Sc pairs per
100 acres, but on contiguous nonirri
gated land the bird life shrank to five
pairs for 100 acres. In Arizona 40
acre tract containing only few houses
and for the most part covered with
desert shrubs, showed bird popula
ton of 80 pairs of 20 species, of which
% were insectivorous. A semidesert
tract of the same size, covered with
brush mostly less than feet high,
showed 81 pairs of is species. In the
mountains of ARIZONA. near Flagstaff,
