The Hague. Netherlands Feb. 24
! (via London -4coastt rnatlon WAS
ca'dsed h1re b fhe announcement Of
the torpedoing BY German submarines
of seven Dutch rgo vessels. two of
which, the Nu5terdia and the
Zaandijk, grain ltden anG bound for
d home port, belonged 90 The Holland
American line
The foreign ministry today made
the following announcement:
When unrestricted submarine war
was proclaimed the Netherlands gov
ernment not only protested against 1t
but insisted that the German govern
ment should take care that no Dutch
ships then en- route to or from Dutcn
ports should be victims of the new
measure. Germany declared her will
ingness to do this but added that 1t
was impossible to guarantee absolute
safety
The statement says further that the
seven ships which have been torpe-
doed availed themselves of German
offer to sail on February 30; they
were to sail together on a westerly
course out OF the danger zone and
then proceed to their destinations. The
report then mentions tho dispatch re-
ceived from the Dutch minister In
London announcing the disaster,
which adds that the ships were tor
pedoed without examination of their
papers. Tho communication ends
with the statement that 1t is believed
all the crews were saved.
Holland Ig Indignant
While official circles remain grave-
~ calm, there has been an inevitable
outburst OF deep Indignation on the
part of the Dutch newspapers at
what the Amsterdam TELEGRAPH calls.
"A blow in our face and the greatest
humiliation to which a neutral state
has been subjected"
The paper adds: I'VE confess in
ability to see how the honor of our
nation can further be maintained by
protests"
other less bellicose newspapers re-
fleet hardly less embitterment on the
part of the whole nation against the
latest example of German ruthless
ness, while even German circles, 1t is
learned, profess deep regret over what
they admit to be "a ghastly blunder."
Amid the chorus of bitter accusa-
tions leveled at German "frightful-
ness" the Vaderland exhorts the ma
ton to exercise self control and not
hamper the government at this critl-
cal moment, when an incautious ac-
ton might precipitate war, the result
of which could be foreseen from the
fate of other small nations.
Unfortunate, SAYS Germans.
The shipping section Of the Am
sterdam bourse is defnoralized, with
losses ranging from 10 to 20 per cent.
The insurance business Is paralyzed.
The grain supply problem, which al
ready is most difficult. has become
extremely acute owing to the loss OF
CarSoes and tonnage.
The German legation at The Hague
has issued a statement declaring that
the disaster to the Dutch steamers
was due "to an extremely regrettable
coincidence of circumstances, which
Is Unfortunate, but beyo M control"

Relations Committee,

! Washington, Feb, 24.-A resolution
authorizing the president to use the
armed forces of the United States to
| protect the commerce, property and
| lives of the citizens of the United
! States was introduced In the senate by
Senator FALL republican.
| Senator Falls resolution was Of
/ fered by unanimous consent after a
! bitter two-hour debate on the interna-
| tional situation, in which republicans
| disclaimed any desire to withhold
! support from the president in han
ding the situation.
The authority to he extended by the
resolution is along the general line of
that which, as has been understood,
President Wilson would request from
congress some time next week. Sena-
tor Falls action took administration
senators completely by surprise.
Senator Fall asked that the bill go
to the foreign relations committee,
and Chairman Stone consented after
he had objected to the way in which
the measure had been introduced.
Il greatly regret that such a bill
as this has been introduced at this
Time" said Senator Stone. Never
theless, | see no way of disposing of
it except by letting it go to the com
mittee."
The bill would give the president
wide authority to protect lives and
property of Americans or to authorize
American merchant ships. to protect
themselves against searches and seiz-
ures or capture.

MANY HOGS SOLD FOX
LESS Than Value
Feed Crops Should Be Utilized For
Fall Pork misunderstanding
Stock Must Be Kept.

Farmers have been advised to plant
IN abundance Of feed crops; and the
only successful way to market such
crops is to use them for finishing of
live stock. II the stock Is sold before
the crops are produced. 1t defeats the
very purpose for which the crops
were planted. Since the prices for
hoge have gone so high. buyers have
invaded many parts of Louisiana and
are purchasing all the hogs they can
get at prices approximating half the
value of butcher hogs on the market.
The prices paid have ranged from 6
cents to 8 or cents a pound and
many of these hogs have been subse-
quently sold at from IA to Is cents.
A 60pound pig at 8 cents brings
less than $500. The same pig II kept
ON pasturage with just enough grain
to keep 1t in a thrifty and growing
condition should easily flnish-on at
around 200 pounds next winter CT
spring. At the present prices it would
bring $25 to $35%the difference
amounting to an average Of say SIS
represents the farmers feed crops pre-
pared for the market by feeding 1t to
the growing pig. Now II he sells the
pig before he puts the feed into him
and then cannot sell the crop, it will
be q loss in every way.
II il therefore thought desirable u
invite the attention of the farmers 10
this question and to advise them not
to sell any light young hogs that
should be kept and finished in the
fall or winter, and also to avoid sell
ing any brood sows that may be need
ed for increasing the number Of hogs
on the farm. It il not economical to
sell hogs until they have reached a
satisfactory weight for the slaughter
house. or say $50 pounds az q mini
mum. II II becomes necessary to sell
oil part OF the hog stock, the owner
should keep posted on the markets
and should probably insist on getting
for young hogs not less than two
thirds Of the top prices for finished
hogs. or. in other words, when the top
q the market IL Is cents q pound,
hogs on the farm should not bring
less than 10 cents IL they are at all
promising for the market in six to
ten months hence.
Il should certainly be the aim Of
every farmer to keep enough hogs to
supply his own meat for next year
and. II possible. have surplus fos
sale TO his neighbors.-G. E. Nesom,

OUR RED CROSS IS
NOT AIDING ENEMY
NATIONS NOWADAYS

Patriotic Americans who have been
helping the Red Cross have Of late
been making anxious inquiries as to
whether the humanity and the neutral
ity Of the Red Cross would constrain 1t
TO send food, medicines and hospital
units to Germany.
II want to give to help our boys. and
the stricken people Of France and Bel.
GUM and Serbia" many q one has
written in; but I don't feel like doing
anything II the Germans get part Of It."
Americans need be under no appre-
hension. Not q cent Of Red Cross con-
tributions Is going to Germany, or has
gone there since the war was declared
By the United States. General Per
shing has gone to Europe to convey to
the kaiser Uncle Sans compliments In
the form Of shells and American bay
onets. but the Red Cross has no part In
that except to care for such Of Gen.
eral Pershing's men a. may need care.
The matter Of sending Red Cross
supplies to Germany was brought up
In the recent Red Cross war council In
Washington. Charles D. Norton, one
Of the memberA answered inquiries
thus:
the answer u exceedingly simple.
We Do not purpose to be tried for trea.
son.. We do not purpose to lend aid
and comfort to our enemies. We mean
to attend our own American Red Cross
a6airs."
Former President Taft, who is chair
man Of the executive committee, SUD-
ported this view. He said that when
wounded Germans fell into the hands
Of the American Red Cross they will
get the same treatment as our own
men: but that II would undoubtedly
be treason to send supplies to Germany
- We did before We were forced into
the wa.
SO Americans can give freely, know.
Ing that every cent 10 for our own and
our allies wounded, and not for the
enemy.
