Northclife Differs
With the Premier

LONDON, Nov. 15.-Lord North.
cliffe has declined a proffer Of the ad
ministration Of the new Air Ministry
made to him by Premier Lloyd George
In a long letter to the Premier Lord
Northcliffe explains that his refusal
of the portfolio is due TO dissatisfac-
tion with some Of the methods OF Mr.
Lloyd Georges administration.
Northciiffe's letter, dated to-day,
from the London Office of ths British
Mission to the United States, was a.
follows:
DEAR PRIME MINISTER: I have

peated invitations that should take
charge of the new air ministry. The
reasons which impelled me to decline
that great honor and responsibility are
in no way concerned with the Office
which is rightly 10 be set up. They are
roughly as follows:
Returning after five months spent
in the virile atmosphere Of the United
States and Canada, find that while
these two countries are proceeding with
their war preparations with 8 fevor
and enthusiasm little understood on
this side Of the Atlantic, while the
United States instantly put into oper-
alton conscription over which we wsb-
bled for two years, and is making short
work of sedition mongers; while Can
ada already has given such Noofs Of
thoroughness as the disfranchisement
Of conscientious objectors and the de-
naturalization of all enemy aliens nat
uralized within the last fifteen years;
while we, for our part, are asking i'm
mense sacrifices from these peoples,
there still are in Office here those who
daily with such urgent questions as that
Of unity of war control, eradication Of
sedition, mobilization Of the whole man
and women power Of the country and
the introduction of compulsory food

WITH THE AMERICAN ARMY IN
FRANCE, Nov. s15.-A number of
American infantrymen, suffering from
shell wounds, arrived to-day at the
base hospital. All the casualties were
caused by the same she'll.
A group Of Americans were in a
shack in the reserve when the Germans
began shelling heavily. The officers
ordered the men to a dugout. but be-
fore they could get there a big shell
dropped on the position and exploded.
The American artillerists concentrated
their fire on the communicating trench
es Of the enemy and it is believed that
their shells caused considerable casual
ties and damage.

a soldier in khaki TO appear on the
school platform. Another teacher is
accused of having administered only
mild rebuke TO pupil who referred
TO President Wilson as being anxious
to murder the Germans.

nourish sentiments antagonistic TO the
government, and profess not to permit
such sentiments to interfere with their
teaching, but | do not believe it Is
possible for such teachers to be &C
lively patriotic.
"Our test for the teachers will be,
DO you, or do you not, believe that
pupil should be taught so that when
he is graduated he will be a loyal,
patriotic American citizen?"
The High School Committee will de-
termine later whether the hearings of
the three suspended teachers will be

Pacifist Teachers
In High Schools
To Be Dismissed
Unpatriotic as Well as
Disloyal To Be Ousted,
Declares DR.. Tildsley

A vigorous campaign against pacifsm
and disloyalty in the high schools of
New York City is about to begin.
Teachers who oppose the government,
either openly or by withholding ex-
pressions of patriotism, are to be sus-
pended, pending trials for dismissal.
DR.. John L. Tildsley, associate super
intendent of schools, announced yes
terday that the principals of the
twenty-four high schools had been in
structed to submit to him the names of
all teachers whose loyalty is not above
suspicion. The purpose is to weed out
from among the $500 teachers all
those who have been fostering among
the pupils a spirit of opposition to the
government.
The decision to rid all the high
schools of teachers whose patriotism
is open to question followed the sus-
pension from the De Witt Clinton High
School Of three teachers who we're
charged with expressing opinions
which would tend to undermine good
citizenship" Six other teachers were
transferred "for the good of the school
system"

Unpatriotic Teachers a Menace

1T Is not merely disloyalty that we
intend to eliminate, but also lack of
patriotism" said DR.. Tildsley last
night "Some teachers are merely
pacifists. They favor what is called
pure democracy, and feel that the less
there is of government the better.
They tend to create sentiment that the
government should be taken lightly.
All Of those reported will be thorough
ly investigated, and where the evidence
warrants it they will be suspended,
pending a hearing.
"New York's high schools partic-
ularly are a factor for good or bad
citizenship. OF the $4,000 high school
pupils about 10000 are foreign born
or have foreign born parents. 1t is
essential that they be tutored in such
a way as to develop in them the high
est possible type of American citizen

vegetation that would otherwise be
wasted, the cost can be made even
lower.
The Belgian and Flemish giant rab-
bits are recommended for meat produc-
ton, as the ordinary tame rabbit is
smaller and develops more slowly.
Stock Of Belgian hares may be bought
from breeders in nearly all the states
at 81 to So each. They may occasion
ally be had from pet stock dealers.
Fancy pedigreed stock is not required
for meat production.
Rabbits are easily kept. They eat
hay, grass, lawn cuttings and green
vegetation of many kinds. Females
should be allowed to breed when eight
or ten months old, and during the year
should raise four ftters of about six
young each. Well fed, the young reach
marketable size when three to four
months old and average from five to
six pounds live weight.
The department Of agriculture has
published a bulletin on raising rab-
bits which will be helpful to those who
wish TO engage in this pursuit.

roadway. During the last year about
six miles Of such pavement were put
down in the county.
Mr.. McClintOck holds that this type
of construction is desirable where a
substantial base is already in place, as
in the case of an old gravel or ma
eadam road which is not worn out, or.
a base can be constructed at low cost.
The vitrifed blocks are often laid by
unskilled labor, properly supervised,
with entirely satisfactory results
Another type of small-blOck pave
ment was recently laid on the Morris
town turnpike in New Jersey, which
carries a heavy traffic. There is a sec
ton Of this road about 200 feet long
having per cent grade, where il
was decided to try small granite
blocks in the hope that their numerous
joints would reduce the tendency to
slip and skid on this rather steep
slope. The blocks are to finch cubes
and were laid on a thin foundation
They were not laid in rows but
in curved lines, forming a mosaic pat
tern, and the joints were filled with
fine stone and a grout OF cement and
sand.

Usage MINES HAVE CLOSED
Coal Operators Declare They Cannot
Sell Product at Price Fixed
by Government.

The Usage district coal mines have
been closed and no more coal will be
mined except by the cooperative COM
panies until there is a change in the
price allowed for coal or until the gov
eminent takes over the operation of
the mines. The Usage district pays
higher wages than any other mine In
the state. The operators there now
pay Sill a ton for mining, while in
Southeastern Kansas the rate is nine
ty-one cents a ton. This is on account
of the thin vein and shaIe in the dis
trict.
Orders from Topeka dealers for
Usage and BurIingame coal were re-
fused by the operators. Local dealers
who gave orders for Usage coal some
time ago were notified that the cars
already loaded would be shipped, but
that other cars would not be furnish
ed. The cooperative mines assert
they cannot get out the coal at $3.50
ton and the privately owned plants
say the government price is too low
for the Usage district on account of
the high wages paid miners there.
Governor Capper will present the
problem of the Usage district to Harry
A. Garfield, the fuel administrator,
and it may be that higher price will
be fixed for the Usage district. The
cooperative companies will continue
to mine coal for local use, but they do
not expect to get out any consider
able quantity for sale outside the dis
trict
The miners employed by the CO.
operative mines are on strike. They
want an increase of fifty cents a ton,
which would make the labor cost of
digging the coal alone 1921 ton. An
effort to settle the strike by mediation
of the governor failed.
The Usage district is only thirty
miles from Topeka and thousands of
tons of Usage coal are burned there
yearly.

prepared by the United States Depart
ment of Agriculture)
The meat supply Of the country may
well be supplemented, biologists Of the
United States department of agricul-
ture point out, by the raising of rabbits
by youths and adults not engaged In
military or other national service, or
in regular industrial employment.
These animals already have proved a
valuable source of food in Europe dur
ing the present war. In the United
States they might be raised in back
yards of cities and towns as well as
on farms.
The Belgian hare breeds rapidly,
natures quickly, and produces paIat-
able and highly nutritious meat. The
cost of production is less than that Of
any other meat, not excepting poultry.
The supply can be greatly increased
within few months, without requiring
space that may be needed for the pro-
duction of crops. Practical experience
has demonstrated that rabbit meat can
be produced in unlimited quantities at
a cost of about six cents pound; and
by utilizing lawn cuttings and other

Prom the United States Department OF
Agriculture)
The quickest and surest way OF aug
menting the meat supply next to the
raising of poultry is by raising hogs,
the United States department of agri-
culture points out. The hog is the most
important animal to raise for meat and
money. He requires less labor, less
equipment, less capital, makes greater
gains per hundred pounds of cOncen-
trates and reproduces himself faster
and in greater numbers than any other
domestic animal. AS & consumer Of

which so many products are manufac-
tured. very near % per cent OF the
total value, In dollars and cents, Of the

sumption OF meat and meat products.
Three-fourths OF the worlds fnterna-
tional trade in pork and pork products

creased this proportion According to
the estimates there was an increase of
$3.50, 600 hogs between 1910. the census
year, and 1915, inclusive. The increase
at the end OF 1915 was 3,14S,OO0 over
the preceding year, while it is esti-
mated that there was decrease at the

CHICKS INFESTED WITH LICE
Mother Hen Should Be busted With
Some Good Insect PoWder-Make
Examination Often.

Where chicks are raised with hens,
ohey are likely to become infested
with lice. If the lice get very nu-
merous, they greatly retard the chicks
growth and may even cause their
death. The hen should be powdered
thoroughly with some good insect
powder before she is put in the coop
with the chicks, and at intervals of
several days or a week thereafter.
The baby chicks should be examined
for lice, particularly on the head,
under the wings and about the vent.
If any are found, little grease, such
as lard, should be rubbed ON in those
places. Apply grease moderately, as
too much will injure the chicks. The
chicks should be examined frequently
and the treatment repeated if lice are
found on them.
