REPLY TO AMERICAN NOTE

significant In Comparison With

Washington.-The end OF the Eu'
declaration has been formally and Off
cially communicated to the United
States government on behalf OF the
British government In a note recently
delivered to Walter Hines Page, the
American Ambassador at London, and
by him forwarded to Secretary OF
State Lansing, by whom the communi-
cation. one Of the most important re-
ceived from the British government
since the beginning of the war, was
made public tonight.
The note, which bears date OF Oc-
tober 10. is in reply to the American
note of July 2S In which protest was
made against the addition Of certain
firms in this country to the British
Trading With the Enemy Blacklist,
and bears the signature OF Viscount
Grey, OF Falledon, who has been Brit
lsh secretary Of state for foreign af-
fairs since 1905.
In,this communication, which is con-
ceded to be one OF the strongest docu-
ments received from Viscount Grey
since the war began. the action OF the
British government in placing Amert
can firm names on its blacklist is justi-
fed as being wholly within the right
Of that government and as involving
no infraction OF internatioal law.

II EGGS DAILY ON
219,000 PA. FARMS
Reports Show Each Farmer Has Sixty
Hens--TotaI output 1885,
900 Dozen.
Harrisburg

An average OF about a dozen eggs
are produced daily on each Of the 219-
900 farms OF the State according to
estimates made by the Bureau Of
Statistics OF the Pennsylvania Depart
ment OF Agriculture.
Reports from township crop report
ers throughout the State indicate that
the average number Of eggs produced
annually on each farm total 348 dozen.
This would give grand total Of 49,
D35,O00 dozen eggs. The statistics
further show that each farm has on an
average about sixty hens and that the
poultry stock on the farms kept for
egg production numbers about 13,140,-
900 hens.
In the counties where there are
large cities to be supplied, and poultry
raising Is specially, the average
yearly production Of eggs is between
four and six hundred dozen. which
would, without question. make the
State farm production Of eggs total
above 100,O00,000 dozen a year.
Berks county leads with the highest
average production of 600 dozen eggs
year on each farm, while Franklin
and Adams counties show exceptional
ly high averages OF 55S dozen. Perry
county shows SIS dozen; York, sos
dozen; Juniata, 500 dozen; Mont
gomery 495 dozen; Lancaster 4S0
dozen; Bucks, 462 dozen; Union, 465
dozen; Snyder, AIS dozen; Northamp-
ton, AGO dozen; Cumberland, 440
dozen; Dauphin, 425 dozen; Della
ware, 400 dozen; Lebanon, 442 dozen;
Lehigh, 444 dozen; Mifilin, 400 dozen.
Compensation Findings Upheld.
The State Compensation Board, in
two opinions written by Commissioner
John A. Scott, has declined to disturb
the findings Of referees in cases which
will establish precedents.
In the case Of Edwin G.. Stanley VS..
Samuel Price Wetherill. Sr., Philadel,
phia, It was found that Stanley injured
his knee while scraping a floor and
that his hurt was due TO kneeling upon
nails. blocks OF wood and the like in
shavings and not what could be con-
sidered a development of an occupa-
tional disease. It was found that there
was sudden pain and swelling of the
knee. which are held to show the in.
Jury one on which compensation could
be granted.
In the case Of John Biting VS..
George and William Kolb Philadel-
phia, II was held that the referee did
not err in awarding compensation for
an injury due to bricks falling upon
Biting. There was difference in
medical opinion and Mr.. Scott says:
"The mere happening OF an accident
cannot be assumed to be the cause OF
certain symptoms which afterwards
appear, unless some reasonable rela-
tion Of cause to effect be established.
AS we view the situation. the question
of fact was the discriminating factor In
this case"

100000 Trees To Set Out.

According to a statement just issued
by Commissioner of Forestry Conklin
there will be almost 100000 young
trees available for reforesting opera
tions, including the lining OF State
highways with trees, as the product
OF the States forest nurseries. Some
time ago arrangements were made for
planting trees along sections Of the
main State highways. as is done in
Missouri and other States, and also
for reforesting extensive sections Of
State reserves recently acquired and
auxiliary reserves placed under con.
troll OF the Commonwealth.
The number of trees available Is an
increase Of thirty per cent. over the
number of trees produced last season
and is the largest number of seedlings
ever grown in the State nurseries. The
Mont Alto nursery will supply 2,S50000
trees, Clearfield 100000, Asaph 1,575,.
600 and Greenwood $4,000. Over half
are white pines. The effort to raise
blackberry trees for distribution was
almost a failure because of the
weather conditions. Fifteen bushels
OF cherry seeds were planted last year
to furnish timber and bird food. New
tests will be made.
The State will distribute over a mil.
lion and half trees free for reforest
ing next year.
Fund Proposed BY Labor Body.
The Pennsylvania State Federation
of Labor purposes establishing at the
Pennsylvania State College forty
scholarships for the education of skill
ed tradesmen and women who are
members Of labor unions. At the State
College, the young student will receive
special training, which added to their
practical trade and industrial expert.
ence will enable them to serve as
teachers in the continuation and voca.
tional schools Of the State.
James H. Maurer, OF Reading, presi-
dent of the federation, and a member
OF the State House OF Assembly, and
r. ]. Wheeler, of Allentown, will ar
range details of the proposed plan
with DR.. Il. e. Sparks, president of
the college They will recommend the
adoption Of the project to the Execu.
tive Committee Of the federation. The
proposed plan provides for the stu.
dents training to be financed by an en-
dowment fund of $4,000 to be raised
by the labor unions.
Seek Stream Polluters.
The State fish wardens were detailed
TO inspect streams in dozen or more
counties to gather evidence of pollu.
tion against manufacturing companies
which have failed to install filters and
to cease polluting streams. The evi-
dence will be placed In the hands OF
the Attorney General so that prosecu.
tions may be inaugurated.
Limits Engineers Day.
Chief OF Mines Roderick has been in.
formed in an opinion by Deputy Attor.
ney General largest that a hosting
engineer in an anthracite coal mine
whose duty II is from time to time TO
lower and hoist men and boys and also
to hoist coal, "can only be engaged for
a period Of eight hours out Of each
day, even though in any particular day
of eight hours service he may not be
required both to lower men and boys
and to hoist men and boys and also
