Announcement by the governments war
risk bureau of cut of nearly twenty-five per
cent in the premiums charged on American
vessels and cargoes traversing the war zone,
follows publication of the figures showing that
September losses on account of Uboats were
smaller than in any other month since the be-
ginning Of Ger1nany's submarine campaign.
The reduction on premium rates was made be-
cause of the decrease in the risk. Thus the
government registers its opinion that effective
methods have been found to overcome the D.
boat menace The significance Of its action
will not be misunderstood in Germany.

QUEEN OF HELLENES
HEADS RELIEF WORK
Kaiser's Sister Endears Herself
to Greek People in Combating
Entente Blockade.

ATHENS, Greece, March 22,-The
blockade of the ports Of Greece by
the entente powers has furnished
Queen Sophie her opportunity to en-
dear herself to the Greek people. She
was already the head Of all the more
important charities Of Athens, but her
work has always been very quiet and
generally very little known or appre-
ciated. During the twenty-eight
years that she has been first Crown
Princess of Greece and then queen
of the Hellenes she has been rather
a negative figure. On the declara-
ton of the blockade, however, she
took up the active organization OF tne
relief work among the blockade sur
ferers. To do this she had at COM
mand the committees of all tue
numerous charities she has establish
ed in the Greek capital as well as the
central committee OF the National
League Reservists, the mutual beneht
organization of the veterans OF the
two late Balkan wars.
Not Popular Before.
Outside her little. known charities
the Raiser's sister has never before
occupied much OF a place in the hearts
of the Greek people. 1t has only been
since her active work in behalf OF
the blockade sufferers that there have
appeared generally in the Athens
shops calendars with the Queens pic
ture on them, as well as the familiar
ones bearing the Kings picture.
Nor does the Kaiser's sister take a
very active part in the social life or
Athens. The King and Queen dine
once a week regularly with the King s
brother. Prince Nicholas, and his wife,
the Princess Helen. After dinner there
is usually a party at which the diplo-
matte corps and the best Athenian So
ciety are gathered. The King remains
all the evening, even in the busiest
times; but the Queen rarely stops
after dinner or takes any part In the
gayeties. She receives no one, save
where official etiquette renders an au-
dience imperative. Her last formal
audience was given to the German
minister and his STAFF, just before
their leaving Greece on November y,
last. When they had departed she
wept as the German diplomatic mis-
sion in Athens constituted the sole
remaining link connecting her with
her brother, Emperor William.
Royal Family Clannish.
The royal family of Greece is very
clannish, and there are frequent fam
lily reunions at the houses of the
kings numerous brothers. Queen So
phie seldom attends these. Her pet
charity is her shop in which the home
work of Greek women is sold. But
her sister-in-law, the Princess Alice OF
Battenberg, the wife of the Kings
brother, Prince Andrew, runs shop
of the same character, in competition
with the Queens, just across Constitu-
tion square from Queen Sophie's.
In the Princess Alice's shop all the
models are American-for hats, wom-
ems fine underclothing, dresses and
other feminine knick-knacks. The
American fashion papers set all the
Princess Alice's styles, and II Is
source of great pride to her that every
article sold in her shop that is not
reproduction OF characteristic Greek
costumes or peasant women's en-
broideries is made after American de-
signs.

WEIGHING MILK TO FEED TO CALVES.
the calf and may be caused In num-
Der of ways, the more important of
which are the following: Irregular
feeding, overlooking, sudden change Of
feed, fermented feeds, feeding dirty or
sour milk or milk of diseased cows,
the use Of dirty milk pals or feed box
es, and damp, dirty stables. AS soon
as scours Is discovered it is best to sep
arate the affected calf from the others
and carefully disinfect the pen. The
feed should be reduced Immediately at
least one-half, milk pals cleaned and
sterilized, feed boxes cleaned and dis
infected and any other causes men,
toned above eliminated.
A number of preparations are used
to treat this disease, q few Of the more
common Of which are blood meal, a
teaspoonful at a feed; white Of egg;
limewater, etc. A dose Of four drops
Of formalin to each quart of milk has
been used to advantage, and d drench
Of three ounces Of castor Oil followed
by teaspoonful of a mixture Of one
part salOl and two Of subnitrate Of
bismuth also Is recommended. Ordi-
nary white clay, mixed with water to
the consistency of thick cream and
given in doses Of quarter or even half
pint three times day, has been used
recently, with excellent effect.
White scours, or infectious dysentery
Of the calf, generally affects a number
of calves in a lot and first appears
shortly after birth as a diarrhea with
light colored offensive droppings. Dur
ing the course Of this disease the calf
wants to sleep all the time and cannot
be induced to suck or>drink. 1t is also
very much weakened by the disease
and usually dies within three or four
days. There is no specific method of
curing the disease known to the de-
partment. Ordinary Write clay mixed
with water to the consistency of thick
cream and given in doses Of quarter
or even half a pint three times a day
has been found by veterinarians to be
very valuable. Manufacturers of bic
logical products, however, are now SELL
ing a potent serum which they claim
to be effective in both prevention and
cure.
Prevention consists in the use of
sanitary precautions, such as clean, dry
and disinfected pens for calving and
careful disinfection of the navel Of the
calf at birth, painting the cord with
tincture Of iodine and tying it with silk
thread. AS this disease is OF so serious
a character that it may cause the loss
of a seasons crop of calves, the details
for the control of an outbreak should
be referred to the state live stock off,
cial or to qualified veterinarian In
the community.
