The Pacific Poultryman for
April reports that, owing TO cold,
wet weather, bad matches have
been the rule this spring. That
early matches on the Islands have
been affected to some extent can
not be denied, but reports from a
number of poultrymen indicate
that 1911 would be about the av-
erage and fertility ranged from
80 to 81. It's the climate
Vashon- Maury can't be beat.
Carver's ranch has been unable
to fill all orders for chicks this
season. The orders total 5000,
and all except 1900 have been
booked from outside points.
They plan to keep 1900. making
a total output of $500 for the
season.
An over supply Of food for the
first week for little chicks will
raise havoc with the digestive
system, and the best way to
avoid them is to carefully guard
against improper feeding.
Bone meal flour mixed in the
food from the very beginning is
most excellent to prevent soft
bones.

Penheld's Home a Hospital; Three Sent
Back to America

Vienna, Jan. 6.-As result of ill
ness. the entire staff of the American
Embassy here has been disorganized.
u. Grant-Snith, Of Pennsylvania, the
counsellor Of the embassy. left Vienna
tonight for the United States to re-
cuperate from nervous breakdown
which kept him in local sanatorium
for several weeks.
Frederic X. Dolbeare, of New York,

ago bound for America in order TO re-
cover from an operation for appendicitis
which was followed Immediately by a
severe attack of diphtheria.

third secretary who is nephew Of
Secretary OF State Lansing, is now con-
valescing at the home of Frederic G.
Penfield, the American Ambassador,
from a severe attack of rheumatic fever.
Sheldon X. Crosby, Of New York, the
first secretary, was operated on for APP
pendicitis yesterday evening, but he is
now doing well.
The fact that the ambassadors pri-
vate secretary, Cardeza, will be obliged
TO leave for the United States within a
few days will further reduce the staff
leaving the second secretary, Ruther-
ford Bingham, of Washington. as the
sole supporter of the ambassador.
Mr.. and Mrs. Penfield have practical
ly converted their palatial home into a
hospital.

"And Tim Healy himself says 90? Well,

Washington, Jan. at the request
Of the German government Charles j

mania, Serbs and Bulgaria, is to be
transferred from Bucharest, his pres
ent headquarters. Announcement OF
this was made to-day by the State De-
partment.
In its request. which is not in the
nature Of a demand. according to Of
fcials, the Berlin government alleges
that Mr.. Vopicka violated his neu-
tiality by favoring Rumania as against
the Central Powers. II cites incidents
to show that after the occupation Of
Bucharest by the German forces he un-
dertook protection of Rumanian
civilians and other Entente subjects re-
naming in the capital. These activities.
the German government complains,
we're inimical TO German interests.
Mr.. Vopicka. il was stated to-day,
will still remain the accredited Amer
lean Minister 10 the Balkan States,
but he probably will be sent TO Jassy,
the temporary seat OF the Rumanlan
government.
Mr.. Vopicka was appointed minister
TO the Balkan States in September,
1913, owing his selection chiefly to Sen
ator James Hamilton Lewis. He sailed
for Europe at the close of the year and
before he had arrived at his post he
got into trouble with several foreign
governments over certain criticisms he
was alleged TO have made against En-
peror Francis Joseph of Austria-Hun-
gary, now dead, in a speech at Prague
IN January, 1914.
II was related also that later he
boosted of his ability to smooth away
any difficulties in the Balkans, and
made a point Of the fact that he had
worn a Sl2 shirt on his visits TO King
Charles of Rumania, King Peter Of Ser
bia and Gar Ferdinand Of Bulgaria.
His conduct was said TO have called
forth the description of him as most
curious person. by Queen Elizabeth
Carmen SYLVIA Of Rumania. He was
said 10 have been severely reprlmanded
by the State Department at the time.
The statements and conduct reputed to
him met with instant denial from both
Secretary Bryan and the minister him
self.
Mr.. Vopicka was born in Prague, Bo-
hemia, fifty-eight years ago. AT the
time of his appointment he was
brewer in Chicago. He was the first
Slav to be accredited from the United
States to the twin Slav countries, Bull
garia and Serbia.

POLES ANXIOUS
FOR NEW RULE
Delays Cast Damper on
Enthusiasm for Project
in Germany

Berlin, Jan. tvia London. Jan. 81.
Polish leaders interested in the for
nation of the new Polish kingdom, ac-
cording to advices from Warsaw, are
looking forward anxiously to the time
for the proclamation Of the king
Pending this event. the idea Of a
separate state is taking root slowly
among the Poles, but it is believed,
the reports say that once the definite
concept OF crowned monarch IS
placed before them by the ceremonials
Of state incident to the entry Of the
king into Warsaw and TO his crown
ing, the people will realize more viz.
idly their national existence under a
new form.
The delays and difficulties in the
formation of the new kingdom have
cast a decided damper on the enthusi-
asm for the project in Germany and
have encouraged the Conservatives
and the clements opposed to Chancel-
lor Won Hollweg. who from
the beginning has been opposed to the
ldea, TO sharp CRITICISM OF the "lSuom
Of proclaiming the kingdom at this
time.
The first preliminary to the insti-
tuition Of the new order is the forma-
ton of the projected council OF state,
as it is impracticable to go ahead with
the election Of a regent or king or
with the adoption of a constitution
until the organization representing
the Polish people is in existence Off
cially to express its wishes regarding
the person of the regent or king or to
approve the constitution.
Various difficulties incident to the
organization of the council have been
or are being overcome, and the an
nouneement Of the formation Of the
council is expected within few days.
The council probably will be presided
over by NJ. Lempicki, a former mem
Der of the Duma, and other members
probably will be Prince Radziwill,
Prince Czartoryski and Count Roni-
ker.
Pending the settlement of the new
order no progress has been made in
recruiting a Polish army.

AEROPLANE MADE
SAFE BY WRIGHT'S
NEW STABILIZER
Pilot Has Nothing to. Do Now
but Steer, Orville
Declares

Dayton, Ohio, Jan. 5.-Riding in an
seroplane, where one has nothing TO
do but steer the craft, is the latest
thing in travelling by air. In short,
the aeroplane has been made fool
proof" The flying machine of the near
future will be as safe as the automo-
bile. This was contained in an an
uouncemcnt made here to-day by Or
Vile Wright, who, with his brother
Wilbur. now dead, devised the first
heavier-than air machine fifteen years
ago.
The factor that will make flying as
safe as walking is new stabilizer,
the invention of which Wright an
nounced to-day.
Orville Wright says he has convinced
himself that the new stabilizer ~ per
feet. and is preparing to apply Tor pat
ents.
n was learned that the contrivance
consists of an arrangement OF electrl
cal batteries connected with pen
dulum which swings in a liquid bath
and a minor propeller located directly
over the pilots head. The action OF
the propeller. responding to the auto
matically operating stabilizer, serves
'tO balance the machine.
Through the same apparatus the ma
chine is banked that Is, tilted to the
proper angle when making curves.
The principle of the gyroscope, which
has marked similar inventions, is dis
carded.
Daily flights were made By Wright
for two weeks or the aviation field near
Dayton. II was the first time the in
ventor has been in the air for three
wears
