Wilson May Try Again
to Get Warning Nations
Into Peace Conference

Washington. Jan. 1S.-President Will
son has the future attitude Of this gov-
ernment regarding proposals TO the bell
ligerent nation entirely in his own
hands. He will continue the careful an
alysis of the entente reply, begun yes
terday. until d conclusion has been
reached concerning its full meaning. He
will determine for himself the next step
TO be taken. if some additional sugges-
ton to either side be considered ad-
visable or desirable.
Germans Favor n Discussion
1t is believed entirely probable in
German circles that the central powers
would consent to enter a peace con-
ference despite the impossible" con-
ditions outlined in the entente to Presi-
dent Wilson's note. This is regarded
here as the present bright spot on the
horizon OF the war.

This is the second variety of the
famous American general purpose
fowl and was originated about 1880,
following closely the Silver Laced
Wyandotte.
The Golden Wyandotte is marked
exactly like the Silver, but has a beau
tiful golden reddish ground color to
its plumage instead of white. This, in
contrast with the greenish black
markings, make it a richly colored
fowl. 1t was originated by crossing
the Silver with Partridge Cochins. or.
as claimed by some, with the Winnie
bago fowl, which sseems to have been
a clean-legged Partridge Cochin. From
this cross resulted both Golden Laced
and Partridge Wyandottes. At that
time the latter were cast aside, as the
aim was to produce a Golden Laced
fowl.
After a time Laced" was dropped
from their name and they are now
known as Golden Wyandottes. many

Few farmers take the interest in
poultry that they should. This is n
great mistake. The profits to be
derived from this branch of live
stock are excellent. The farmer
has every advantage over the spe-
cialty poultry raiser; he has the
land, usually the buildings and the
greater part of the feed. Prof.
James B. Norman has prepared an

No Conspiracy There.

WASHINGTON, Dec 24.-Neither
the Red Cross nor American A1nbas-
sador Francis at Petrograd is involved
in any conspiracy to aid General Kale-
din's counter revolution in Russia, OFF,
cials declared emphatically today re-
plying to Leon Trotsky's charges.
Francis, it was explained, had a per-
feet right to request uninterrupted
passage of a Red Gross train to Ros-
toy for the Rumanian Red CROSS mis-
sion and it was proper for him to ad-
vance money to the mission If he actu-
ally did SO.
These are the two charges upon
which Trotsky framed his claim.
The state department explained the
Rumanian Red Gross mission had
asked for a number Of motor ambu-
lance trucks. but when it was found
they could not be shipped directly in
to Rumania, it suggested that they
be sent into the region where Kaledin
operated.
The reference ito the transfer OF
money from Ambassador Francis to
the Red Cross, had to do with a rou-
tine transaction, such as Is con-
stantly going on.
