$4,000 FOR POULTRY.

Mr.. w. E. Ellis, of the firm of w.
f. Ellis & Bro, reports that in the
past two weeks they have shipped
four carloads OF live poultry, which
amounts, in dollars and cents, to
something like 1000. From this
it will be seen that the poultry bus
mess has become a factor in the
commercial life of this country, and
people on the farm are paying more
attention to the raising of chickens,
etc.

SPIES ANNOUNCE SAILING
OF U. S. FL0T|LlA
Berlin Told Routing OF Destroy
ers Before Vessels Reach
Destination.

Washington, May 25.-Four days
before the American destroyer flo
tilla arrived abroad Berlin knew it
was on the way and to what port it
was going and the day before the
vessels steamed into Queenstown
German submarines had strewn
mines about the harbor entrance.
This startling information, reveal
ing that German spies not only still
are at their work in this country,
but that they have a swift and sure
means of communicating Americas
war secrets to the fatherland, came
to the Navy Department today in a
cablegram from Rear Admiral Sims
at London.
The Admiral said his information
was positive. His dispatch was not
made public and for obvious reasons
nothing will be given out concerning
how the news came into his posses
sion, nor about the precautions
which defeated the German plans
and enabled the flotilla to speed
safely through the mine fields.
Reach Port May rs.
Immediate publicity was given the
salient fact. however, the depart
ment making clear that it's purpose
was to let the people know of the
activity and success of Teutonic
spies and to emphasize the necessity
for absolute secrecy in connection
with naval operations or shipping
movements.
The destroyers, now aiding in the
hunt for submarines in European
waters under the direction Of Ad-
miral Sims. put into port at Queens
town May 16. How long they were
In crossing the Atlantic or from
what port they sailed never has been
announced, and until word of their
arrival came by cable only a few
people In the United States even
knew of the Governments decision to
send warships to Europe. No Off
cial would comment tonight on the
possible means by which the news
was conveyed to Germany. II it did
not go from a secret wireless plant.
II must have been carried In some
code dispatch that the allied cable
censors passed as innocent.

Aside from the Austrian-Itaiian
theater, where the Italians are max
ing the spirited efforts to break
through toward Trieste, little fight
ing of consequence is taking place on
any battle front.
Artillery duels continue along the
Western front. On the Eastern front
the Russian artillery fire against the
Austrian lines is increasing in inten-
sity, probably presinging the awaken
ing of the Russians from their mill
tary lethargy.
The Italians have smashed their
way toward on the Carso PLATEAU,
taking the village of Giovanni, a
scant two miles from Dunno. In the
vicinity of Jamiano the Italians have
captured Austrian trenches and also
made gains along the Julian front.
Vienna asserts the Italians attacks
were repulsed with the loss of many
dead and prisoners.
Action by Brazil. which would
place her in the war against Ger
many, still is awaited. Meanwhile
the situation in Spain as a result of
Germany's illegal acts, continues to
grow in intensity. Resolutions were
adopted by a Madrid mass meeting
advising a break with Germany.

by the restoration of peace. In a
resolution which he introduced in the
last Congress Mr.. Nichols also pro-
vides that such information shall be
published and distributed to American
manufacturers in order that they may
be advised of what to expect following

stance Of the recognition of special
ability in assigning Republican Sena-
tors to committees was in the case OF
Hon. Frank B. Kellogg of Minnesota
who was given place on the great
Interstate Commerce Committee. Mr.
Kellogg probably knows as much
about the administration of the rail
roads Of the country as any other
man. He acted as special counsel for
the Interstate Commerce Commission
in the investigation of the Hartman
roads, and as special counsel for the
United States in the action to dissolve
the Union Pacific and Southern Pacific
merger. The experience he gained in
those cases will render his opinions on
interstate commerce matters inyalu-
able to the Senate. Senator Kellogg
has served as president Of the Ameri-
can Bar Assn, and is considered one
Of the foremost lawyers of the coun-
try. That fact gained for him a place
on the Joint Committee on the Revi-
sion of the Laws of the United States,
where he is sure to render most eff
iicient service.
