President Wilson to Stop
War Without Victory

Washington. Aug. 10. - Impeach-
ment for President Wilson was urged
and the selective conscription law. its
proponents and the national legisla-
lures who enacted it. were denounced
and excoriated in the Capitol yester-
day at a meeting of pacihsts held in
the auditorium of the committee on
military affairs of the Senate. Less
than a month ago this apartment was
the scene of the drawing of the draft
under which the National Army is be-
ing created. The paciflsts demanded
that Congress stay in session until 1t
has repealed the. conscription law.
In obtaining the use of the com.
scathing attacks on the President and
Congress, the promoters of the meet
ing, who call themselves the Peoples S
Council of America for Democracy
and Peace, are alleged to have decetv-
ed Senator Chamberlain, of oregon
chairman of the military committee.
Isaac Mcbride, formerly private secre-
tary to the late Senator Lane. OF Ore
gon, borrowed" the room from Sena-
tor Chamberlain in the excuse that he
wanted to have some friends meet

Her machinery did not respond and she landed high and dry.
 On finding herself fast, the Alma siguGlled for help and the Gent of the Island Ferry Company, hay. ing left Juneau on her 7:45 o'clock trip, went 10 the rescue. As the Alma had fully % passengers for Thane who were que there to so Co work also a few for Treadwcll, her captain chartered the Gent to make the trip to Thane via Treadwell and the men were landed there few minutes after o'clock.
 As it was extreme low tide when the Alma went ashore, she was float ed in about an hour when she return ed to her dock at Juneau.

Most of the Farm Flocks Are

With Marked Success
Poultrymen Will Do Well to
Take Their Wives Into

BY Michael IA. Boyer

Poultry Editor of The Farm Journal.
1t has been demonstrated that from
80 to 100 hens kept by an energetic
woman will yield a profit OF So per

eggs and poultry left for the home
demand. As pin money" enter
prise hens have no equal.
on many of the farms, especially in
the West, the poultry is given in
charge of the women of the house
hold. 1t is work naturally adapted to
women; it calls for patience and at
tention, and at the same time kind
ness and gentleness-traits that do
not always dwell in the sterner sex,
There is no event in connection with
poultry culture during the year, which
has not it's interest for those who
care for innocent creatures of the
farm yard-whether it is feeding the
stock. gathering the eggs, Matching
out the chicks, or culling the fiocks in
the Fall to meet the capacity of the
winter quarters. They all have their
charm, and excite the interest and
sympathy of those who have q love
for the work.
Psychologists tell us that our Amer

earlier than they should, for want of
sufficient out of-door air and exer-

may be certain that the poultry busi-
ness has among its other benefits the

dark variety crossed with White
Aseel, and the last. Red Laced, are
of Yankee origin, using both the Dark
and White varieties with some in
fusion of White Georgia Games.
In color they are rich red, each
feather edged with white. The main
tail feather in both sexes and the
sickles in the male should be solid
white. Legs, skin and beak are deep
yellow and the fowls when dressed
are most inviting to the American
housewife.
The Red Laced Cornish are a hardy
variety, strong and vigorous as
foragers and moderately good layers
easily the best of all Cornish in this
respect. They become broody, sit and
are Indifferent mothers. The chicks
are rugged and good hustlers, growing
rapidly and to the best advantage
when given free range.
