NEUTRALITY ALMOST UNBEATABLE,
,UN|TED STATES MAY BE INVOLVED

The official view on first considera-
ton is that it constitutes a complete
answer to the presidents note. Ger
man diplomats regard the reply as
even more severe than they expected.
They declared it evidences that the
enemies of Germany are waging a
war of conquest to crush and dis
member her The Germanic allies,
they declared, never would agree to
any such terms.
Several courses are open to the
president. He may inform each side
of the others reply and in so doing
may forward the documents without
comment or with some expression to
advance the situation to the point OF
another exchange. He may begin a
series of confidential negotiations
either through the ambassadors here
or through the ambassadors at the
foreign capitals. Also, he may base
his next step not upon the notes
alone, but upon an estimate of the
situation in the belligerent countries.
Nothing has been decided and moth
ing will be decided without the most
deliberate and mature consideration.
While the German diplomats de-
nounced the terms laid down in the
entente reply, American officials
made no attempt to estimate their
real feeling. Naturally they expected
the entente would state the limit Of
its expectations. At any rate. they
regard such an assessment Of the
war situation as valuable stepping
stone. Whether the president still
hopes to get from the central powers
similar statement of terms is not
known
The German note to neutrals, pub
lished simultaneously with the en-
tente reply, came as a distinct sur
prise. 1t promptly was characterized
by the entente diplomats as q care
fully prepared and timed address to
the world calculated to Offset the
entente statement of aims and pur-
poses.
The entente note is regarded as
one of the most delicate and care
fully written diplomatic documents
the war has produced The compact,
ness of the note, the delicate touches
of language and suggestion, and the
painstaking choice of words and
phrases convince officials that 1t will
require more study than any docu-
ment Of the war. Surprise was ex-
pressed that such a complicated,
many-sided document, representing
SO many aims and points of view.
could show such finesse and skill in
the drafting.
Peace at any early date is foreseen
here now only on terms known to be
acceptable to Germany. The allies
note is regarded as so emphatic that
they cannot retreat from it without
at least one more spring campaign

ernment expressed its desire for
peace, but declares it could only
accept a settlement which would
assure it reparation and surety in the
future.
The reply is regarded in all quar-
ters as putting an early peace prac-
tically out of the question, but still
le,.sing an open door for the presi-
dent to make further efforts.

CARING F02 ANIMAL WOUNDS
Ohio Veterinary Surgeon Gives Con-
else Directions for Care and
Treatment Of Injuries.

Animals on the farm are continual
ly being wounded. The first step to
take in the care of a wound is to
promptly explore the parts with a
view to ascertaining If there is for
eign body; then arrest the hemor-
rhage TO prevent waste of blood, writes
w. G. Fair, veterinary surgeon, in
Ohio Farmer. The latter can often be
done by twisting the blood vessel or
tying It, or by compression. The
wound should then be washed with an
antiseptic solution of some kind. II Is
important that the wound have proper
drainage. 1t may be necessary to do
little cutting before good drainage is
obtained. A wound that pockets" sell
dom heals quickly. Small wounds
about the head and neck should first
be cleaned, peroxide of hydrogen ap-
piled (stitching material dipped in
same), then edges Of wound brought
together and stitched as evenly as pos
!sible. Paint edges Of the wound with
tincture Of iodine or apply equal parts
oxide of zinc and boric acid or any
other reliable commercial busting pow
der. Never stitch a wound unless you
believe IL necessary TO hold the It's
sues together.

Safe Squeeze Gates.

tion, known as the squeeze gates, af-
fords an excellent method of holding
cattle for treatment.
In a great many cases, especially
with young cattle, they are chased I'M
al they become heated and excited ;
then are roped and thrown. This is
not only detrimental to the aillng ami
NAL but often puts them in very awk-
ward position to work upon.
With squeeze gates 1t Is possible,
with the aid Of feed. to coax the ami
inal quietly into the stanchlon and use
the gates If the case demands them.
Even with mich cows that are more
foeile there Is more or less danger, by
the sudden movements of the COW. of
breaking an arm when treating the
genital organs.
For cases Of abortion, where the
genital organs should be constantly
treated and freely dressed with anti
septic solutions. the squeeze gates are
worth many times their initial cost, for
when treating such cases the two
gates are swung around and by means
of racheted props the animal is held
so It cannot move sideways, thus allow
ing the attendant to work with the
greatest degree of satisfaction.

PLAN BIG POULTRY RANCHES
orioInators Of Scheme Propose to Es-
tablish Chicken Farms Near Large
cities and Feed Table Scraps.

A scheme to establish great poul-
try-raising plants in the vicinity Of
municipalities all over the United
States, utilizing the better class OF
table scraps as a hitherto untapped
source of food for the birds, was out
lined by It. Fl. Phillips, a manufac-
turer of Orange, N. j., the New
York Herald states. Mr.. Phillips
and number of associates are about
to incorporate an organization which
will put the idea into practical OPP
Grafton on a poultry farm in New
Jersey which represents an invest
ment of $4,000 and is stocked at
the present time with $500 hens and
chickens.
This farm is in the vicinity of one
of the smaller New Jersey towns and
system of collections and deliv-
cries is being worked out by which
wagons from the farm will call regu-
larry upon the nearby housewives tc
collect the surplus matter from the
dining table.
Put in general operation over the
country, the scheme, according to
NH. Phillips, will effect an economy
of the wheat, corn and other grains
fed to poultry and make them avail
able for mans use in this country
and over in France and will increase
the supply of eggs and poultry.

Establishment Of Such Departments IN
libraries Of Large and email
Towns 10 Suggested.

In small cities and towns where
there are no art museums and no
schools Of music, there is great
need for the very things they would
supply. says the FL Paso Times.
There is a way to get them without
any great expense or trouble. That
way lies through the establishment
of such departments in the public
libraries. whether large OF small.
Many Libraries in the smaller
cities already have the beginnings Of
very excellent art and music collec-
tons. They have not only books
about music and art, but collections
and musical scores, mounted photo
graphs and prints, and these collec-
lions are circulated just as the
books are.
One library has a music room
where borrowers may try over scores
if they wish. The room is sound
proof, so that patrons in other parts
of the library are not disturbed
when the piano is in use.
Such collections do not have to
begin on a large scale. A small be-
ginning would open the way for
greater interest in these things, and
the department would grow as soon
as people realized that it was there
for them to use. Everyone interest
ed and able ought to do his or her
share to further this branch of COM
munity education and service.

PAPER FIBER UNIFORMS.

The clothing of some German
prisoners taken by the British was
of such a peculiar appearance that
the Englishmen decided to analyze
it. The uniforms the officers wore,
says Popular Science Monthly, were
found TO have been made of cloth
woven from leather fiber, while the
enlisted men wore uniforms made
from paper fiber. The fabrics re-
semble the regulation army cloth
used for uniforms.
