U.b0AT DESTROYS
 BRITISH WARSHlP
CornWalis, of 14,000 Tons, Is
 Sunk in Mediterranean Sea
HAD HEAVY ARMAMENT
Four Tvvelve-Inch Guns Included in Her Offensive WeapOnS-ThiIteen Men NIissing-English SeapIane Carrier Also Gone.

London, Jan. 1.-The sinking of the British warship Cornwallis by a submarine in the Mediterranean on Tuesday was announced today by the admiralty. The seaplane carrier Ben My-Chree also has been sunk. Thir- teen men from the Cornwallis are missing and are believed to have been killed by the explosion.
 The official announcement says:
 HI. M. S. Cornwallis, Captain A. P. Davidson, D. s. O., was sunk by an enemy submarine on the 9th in the Mediterranean. The captain and all the officers are saved but there are thirteen men missing and it is feared they were killed by the explosion"
 Believed to- Be BattIeship.
 The warship referred to in the Brit ish announcement apparently is the British battleship Cornwallis, of 14,- 900 tons- The last previous reports from her showed that she was in ser- vice in the Mediterranean. Captain A. P. Davidson last year was in com mand of the battleship Duncan
 There is also a .Cornwallis in the Z-class of the British navy, consist ing of warships retired from active service but the fact that Captain Dav- idson was in command of the vessel in question and that she was sunk in the Mediterranean indicates that it is the battleship which has been lost.
 The battleship Cornwalus was laid down in 1901. She was 405 feet long and was armed with four twelve-inch, twelve six-inch and twelve three-inch guns, six three -pounders and four tor pedo tubes. Her normal complement was 750 men.
 The Ben -My-Chree was a converted merchantmen of 2,651 tons gross. She was 375 feet long, was built in 1898 and owned by the Isle of Man Steam Packet company of Douglas.

Philadelphia, Jan. Hilary K Thaw cut his wrists and throat in a private house on Walnut street west of 52nd street here today and was taken to St. Mary's hospital, according to Captain of Detectives Tate, who had been searching for him.
 Early reports did not indicate whether Thaw was dead or dying.
 According to Captain Tate, Thaw's whereabouts were learned early to- day and the house was surrounded. When detectives entered the place, according to Tate they found that Thaw had cut his wrists and throat. Thaw, Tate says, asked that pr. FL wood Kirby. a we'll known physician of this city be sent for. When the doctor arrived he ordered Thaw re- moved to St. Marys hospital where Dr. Kirby is head physician.
 St. Mary's hospital is in the ex- treme northeastern part of the city, several miles from the house where he was found.
 Captain Tate later said he had been informed that Thaw was expected to die.
 What Thaw cut himself with Tate said he did not know.

 IN ALLIES NOTE
This Is Diplomats Opinion, on
 Answer Which Arrives Today WILSON MAY WRITE AGAIN
Opinion Prevails President Will Not Abandon Attempt to Bring Euro peans to Terms-Rcply Not Made Public Today.

Washington, Jan. 11.-The entente reply to President Wilson's note began arriving this morning at the state de- partment. AS fast as it was decoded 1t was laid before President Wilson and Secretary Lansing.
 From all the recent press despatches from abroad, editorial expressions. re- ports of the allied conference at Rome and other events interpreted as indi- cations of the tenor of the entente reply, the sentiment prevailed here that while not setting forth the position of the allies in possibly strenu- ous terms it would be a most cour- teous and. friendly reply to President Wilson's communication and would not absolutely close the door on an- other move on his part.
 One neutral diplomat had confirma- ton from a source he considered re- liable that its statement would be such that it could not be accepted by the Central powers without modification but will not preclude another move by the president. rrF-
 May Invite Answer
 Diplomats were privately of the opinion that the nature of the sub ject of another move by the president would not be out of the question what the character of the reply should he choose to make 1t the occasion for one. It was officially denied some time ago that he had another move in contem plation but that was before the entente had replied Obviously diplo- mats pointed out, he could not contem- plate a move until he had their answer. -.f
 The same we'll informed sources that some time ago let it be known that at least another move was con- templated understood today that the president would not abandon his efforts for peace unless the reply was something wholly unexpected
 Terms of Entente
 London, Jan. Il. 5:65 p. mt has been leearned zy The Associated Press that the entente reply to Presi- dent Wilson makes specific designation of its terms of peace, which include the restoration of Belgium, of Serbia, and Montenegro and complete repar- ation for the damage they sustained; and the evacuation of the invaded ter ritory of France, Russia and Rumania, with such reparation as is considered just.

OUTLOOK FOR pIsTILLERs.

Midas Criterion, leading spokespa-
per of the whisky and wine trade, very
sensibly tells the distlllers that a pro-
hibition future does not look so dark
after all-and incidentally deals blow
to the compensation plea. We are glad
to pass on this optimistic view, be-
cause once assure the distillers that
they will lose no money through prohi-
bition and we shall hear no more from
them about personal liberty" Says
Midas:
"In the next FIVE years there will be
an average Of not under 100000 motor
cars in the United States. With eight
miles to the gallon for fuel and 80
miles average per cay would equal
four gallons Of fuel per day per car.
or 20,000,000 gallons per day total. with
total of 7,0O0,O0O.OOO gallons per
year. Add to this 100000 motor trucks
averaging 10 gallons per day, we would
have 1,750,O00,000 gallons more, or a
total of S,7500O0,O0O gallons of fuel for
the year. This would certainly tax the
capacity of every distillery in the land,
and, besides, denatured alcohol for fuel
does not require a $L10 per gallon tax
from the government"

Temperance
|. Mites g
ALCOHOL AND THE SOLDIER.

Does the use of alcohol prevent a
man from being a good soldier? Sir
Thomas Anderson Stuart, dean of the
medical faculty in Sydney, Australia,
thinks that this question is a most per-
tinent one, and that 1t is the angle
from which nations today should dis
cuss the drink problem. He says that
alcohol does prevent man from be-
ing a good soldier and that military
men and scientists have proved 1t. We
quote:
alcohol is subversive of discipline,
and robs man of his prudence, judg-
ment, conscientiousness and higher
morality. The development of the hui
man brain took countless years, but al
cohol works a change quickly, and
brings man to the level of beast in
few minutes. Alcohol has also had n
great influence on the sexual passion,
dnd the diseases which result are the
shame and bane of the military au.
thorities.
II have seen 400 men in one day In
one place. They all came from one
military camp, and alcohol was the in
direct cause Of all their misery. When
one man asks another, What Is your

YOUNG STOCK is NEGLECTED.
One Extra Pig May Well Pay for Lit
tie Attention Given to the Sow
at Farrowinq Time.

Probably there Is no neglect on the
farm which costs more than the neg
lect of the young pigs, calves, colts,
and lambs, and their mothers. A
male and female must be fed and
cared for during certain period OF
time for every young produced. 1t,
therefore, costs, and costs more than
often suspected, to produce the young
farm animals. 1t is consequently
worse than folly to neglect the moth
ers at the time the young are born.
One extra pig saved may well pay for
some attention to the sow at farrow-
ing. 1t is gross error, the popular
belief that the sow which farrows N
the woods produces the most pigs. On
an average she produces less pigs, be-
cause she loses more at and shortly af-
ter they are born. Moreover, more
animals die the first week after birth
than In any other equal period. 1t
will pay to give the young and their
mothers extra care. - Progressive

Frequently cutworms migrate to cul-
tivated fields from adjoining grass
land, and In such cases the crops can
be protected by running a narrow
band of the poisoned bait around the
edge of the field or along the side
nearest the source of infestation.

PREVENTS MANY MILK DOORS
Avoid Feeds Having High Flavor,
Such as Cabbage, Onions and
Bitter Weed, Says Clemson.

Clemson College Bulletin.)
Several farmers have made COM
plant to the division of animal hus-
bandry and dairying of Clemson col
lege that the milk from their cows
have a peculiar smell and will not
churn. Just what is the cause of the
trouble cannot be given. but the fol-
lowing have been found to be the usual
conditions when the complaint is
made: The cow is getting nothing but
dry feed, she has been milking several
months, and there has been sudden
change in the temperature.
The treatment for all such cases is
to give the COW some green food or
potatoes or turnips. If she Is con-
stipated give her one pound Of ep-
som salts. Then raise the temperature
of churning.
Difficult churning Is due to trying
to churn whole milk or very thin
cream at too low a temperature; hav-
ing the churn too full and churning
at too slow speed. Butter should
come in not less than % minutes. The
ordinary feed Of the COW will not af-
feet the flavor of the milk. Feed hav-
ing a high flavor as cabbage, onions
and bitter weed will give bad flavor.

(From the United States Department of

Numerous complaints of the ravages
of cutwOrms, especially in relation to
corn, are received each season by the
department. Prompt action is neces-
sary for controlling cutworms after
their presence becomes noticeable In
the spring, which is usually about the
time the corn begins to sprout. Be
cause of the fact that the delay neces-
sary between the time the worms make

the Importance of recognizing these
insects and knowing how to control
them Is evident
Cutworm injury almost invariably
occurs In the spring, the plants usually
being cut off at the surface, or a lit
tie below the surface, of the ground,

sprout and continuing until late June

is often not apparent. However, If the

quite likely be found curled up in

Alcoholized blood starves and taints

sequence testimony against alcohol as
