|ERARD HAS BEEN TOLD TO
DEMAND HIS; NO NATIONS IN
HISTORY HAVE TAKEN SUCH
ACTION WITHOUT WAR FOL-

(By Associated Press. }

(By ASSOclaleu FTeSS)
Washington, Feb. 3.-IiplOmatic
relations with Germany were broken
bf this morning and passports were
handed to German Ambassador Won
Bernstorff and American Ambassa-
dor Gerard was instructed to request
MS of the German government. The
United States also demanded Ger
many to release the sixty-four Amer
leans taken prisoners on prize ships
on South Atlantic raiders. The
Americans were taken from the
steamers Georgia, Mount Temple, and
voltaire: Sixty have been confined in
prison camp at Westfalen.
This break brings the United
States on the verge of war. Never
in history has two first class powers
severed relations without hostilities
following.
Both the President and Germany
have counted the cost of such an ac-
ton, and Germany is said to have
prepared to pay in hope OF shorten
ing the war. Not unmindful OF the
possibility Of a disturbance by Ger
man sympathizers, steps have been
taken TO meet the situation.
Nothing Else Left for U. S. to Do
At the Capitol the news was re-
ceived with appreciation on every
hand. Leader Kitchin today told
Leader Mann when the House cen
vened no action was contemplated by
the House today. Senator Tillman
said: 81 am mighty glad of it. When
heard the first note | favored tell
ing Won Bernstorff to pack up his
duds and go home to his barbarians
Congress ought tc back the Presi-
dent like we did Mckinley Senator
Lodge declared he is with the Presl-
dent. Won Bernstorff said he Is
sorry but he expected it. her'
is nothing else left for the Unite'
States to do" He asserted that ne
expected the President will keep vi
pesce efforts possibly through th'
Swiss government.
Severance More Complete Than
Usual
II is announced Spain will taK'
over diplomatic interests of tn'
United States. Ambassador Gerard
instructions are to close all consui
ates in Germany as well as the EN-
bassy. All diplomatic and consuia
officials will be brought out oil Ger
many. This makes severance NOR
complete than in usual cases.
Spanish Ambassador Riano said NJ
could not say whether Spain VII
follow the course of the Unite'
States in the break. No special OF
ders increasing the guard army AM
navy reservations and arsenais nav
been issued hut each commandini
officer has authority to take neces
sary steps.
Secretary Daniels said VIM
cruising orders of the Atlantic nee
in the Cuban waters have not PEE
changed. 1t is announced that uer
many's diplomatic relations in I"
United States will be assumed D

The President will address the ses

WHEN THE HENS MoULT.

College Park, Aug. 16-That proper
care and feeding OF hens during the
mOulting season is OF utmost import
ance is being pointed out by Roy H.
Waite, POultryman of the Agricultural
Experiment Station. He says:
Take good care of your hens during
the moult if you wish them to produce
eggs for you later in the season. The
moulting produces quite jolt to hens.
This is shown by their nervous condi-
ton at the time of mouting and by
their dropping off laying Naturally
birds moult few feathers at time,
but this has all been changed in the
domestic fowl which mouths in COM
paTatiyely short time Some of the
best laying hens seem to drop their
feathers all at once.
During the moult hens do not re-
Quire as much energy, heat and fat
forming feeds as they do when lay
ing but they do need more tissue build
ing feeds. Linseed meal furnishes Just
the kind of nourishment needed to
produce feathers. Add about 10 per
cent, of linseed meal to the mash dur
ing the moulting period. Sunfower
seeds are just as good. If you have
them feed liberal amount. Be care
full to not overfeed hens that have just
come through the moult, as there is a
tendency for them to become overfat.
Keep them active and working and
soon they will get back to laying,
If they are the laying kind"
