ATTACK AND FLEE
 SIMPLE STORY FIGHT

After a short fight and several of tho destroyers had been hit they took to flight, the cruisers pursuing the enemy destroyers some distance until the dusk of the evening made further pursuit inadvisable.
 The Admiralty believes that these destroyers were preparing for a night raid upon the channel pro tecting patrol when, they came upon the cruisers.
 The incident serves to impress upon the nation the possibility Of

 The fact is admitted that the po- lice are holding on criminal charges some of which arise out of the war, one hundred and fifty Americans.
 The treatment meted out to these Americans will be in line with that which is measured to Germans who are being held by the American authorities.

 He absolutely refused to say one word when taken into custody nor has he spoken to his captors. The penalty for desertion is death.

 THE DRAFT BILL

war chiefs have already completed the tentative plans for such draft ing as is being authorized by law.
 The bill as it is now agreed upon in conference is practically and in detail just as desired by the admi- nistration. It is however likely that this is but the entering wedge of what will be much more formid- able conscription plans before the war requirements are wholly met by the United States.

cREMATE DEAD FOWLS,

The average amateur poultry raiser
has handy spot in some corner of
his yard for burying dead chicks and
fowls. Their ailment may be roup,
cholera, gapes, or any other contag-
ious disease, yet when the bodies are
buried or thrown into the compost
heap the poultryman considers his
duty well done.
The careless burial Of victims Of
any contagious disease is crime
against the living. In the poultry yard
1t Is well to remember that earth
worms work increasingly, disintegrat-
Ing the soil and bringing disease germs
to the surface. Cremation of all fowls
that die Is the best plan. Fire Is called
"the great destroyer" for there Is no
chance for contagion from ashes.
Fowls may be cremated in any kind
Of a furnace or stove. Simply wrap
the body in paper saturated with coal
Oil, and it will burn fiercely and some

He meant no harm now. He would
kill for her. He cringed toward her,
inch by inch, his eyes never faltering.
He heard what the man said-"Good
heaven! Look at that !'-and he
shuddered. But no blow fell to drive
him back. His cold muzzle touched
her f1lmy dress, and she looked at him,
without moving, her wet eyes blazing
like stars.
"See! |" she whispered. "See!"
Now his muzzle Travelled slowly up
ward-over her foot, to her lap, and
at last touched the warm little hand
that lay there. His eyes were still on
her face he saw queer throbbing in
her bare white throat, and then a
trembling Of her lips as she looked up
at the man with a wonderful look. He,
too, knelt down beside them, and put
his arm about the girl again, and pat
ted the dog on his head. Kazan did
not like the mans touch. He mis-
trusted it. as nature had taught him
to mistrust the touch of all mems
hands, but he permitted it because he
saw that it in some way pleased the
girl.
"Kazan, old boy, you wouldn't hurt
her, would you?" said his master soft
ly. 1--WE both love her, don't we, boy?
Can't help 1t, can we? And she's ours,
Kazan, all ours She belongs to you
and to me, and we're going to take

ever have to, we'll fight for her like

For long time after they left him
where he was lying on the rug, Ka-
zan's eyes did not leave the girl. After
time his master said something, and
with little laugh the girl jumped up
and ran to big, square, shining thing
that stood crosswise in a corner, and
which had row of white teeth longer
than his own body. He had wondered
what those teeth were for. The girls
fingers touched them now, and all the
whispering of winds that he had
ever heard, all the music of the wa
terfalls and the rapids and the trill
ing of birds in springtime, could not
equal the sounds they made. 1t was
his first music. Slowly he began stink

CARE OF DUCKS.

The requirements of ducks are SO
few that anyone can raise them. They
are less bother than chickens, not re-
quiring such varied feeding, and a
fence two feet high will keep them
where you wish them to stay, says
one writer. They will not dig up the
garden, never fly up onto anything,
and are never troubled with lice or
bowel troubles as are chickens.
You can feed them the same kind
of feed from the fifth day after they
hatch until they are full grown, which
they will be in 10 or IL weeks.
Do not feed the young ducklings I'M
til they are SO hours old, taking par
ticular pains to see that they are
kept dry and warm. 1t is not desirable
to try to raise them with hens, as they
step on so many of them and the ducks
are even worse to raise them with.
Breeders are much less bother and will
raise larger per cent of them.
