Although at present the attacks against
the Marquis of Lansdowne are mostly
vocal there appears to be a considerable
body of liberal opinion which welcomes his
letter, and much interest is being eN-
hibited in what the press of the United
States has to say on the subject There
also is deal of curiosity as TO what
support the Marquis of aLnsdowne may
have had among the political leaders, il
being believed that he was not likely to
publish such an appeal without some such
acouiescence According TO some rumors.
Earl Loreburn. former lord high chancellor.
and the Earl of Rosebery were consulted
before the letter was given to the press.
Lord Robert Cecil. minister of blockade.
in his weekly talk with the Associated
Press, declared emphatically that the
Marquis of I.ansdowne. in writing the
letter containing peace suggestions was
not speaking for any important body of
opinion in England.
The most important thing to say in
regard to Lansdowne's letter.. Lord Rob
ert said lis that he spoke only for him
self Before writing it he did not consult
or have any communication with any

IN RESULTS OF 1776
Sir George H. Reid Tells of the
Lessons Taught England by
American Revolution.
GEOGRAPHIC SOCIETY TALK

when America won its independence
from Great Britain It was the first in
stance in the history of the world where
right had conquered over might among
nations" declared Sir George n. Reid,
former premier of Australia, in his
address before the members of the Ma
tional Geographic Society last night in
the auditorium of the New Masonic
Temple, when he spoke on What
American Independence Has Done for
the British Empire
The Australian statesman declared
that the victory of "Englishmen in
America" during the last quarter of the
eighteenth century gave greater i'm
petus to liberty than any other one
event in history. At the time of the
revolutionary war there was but one
parliament in the world, and at the
time of the framing of the American
Constitution there was in existence no
makers of that marvellous document of
human rights embracing principles
which guaranteed the equality of man.
the equality of religions (Which meant
the right of all religions to fight. but
the right of none to punish), and equal
ity of opportunity.
Through the lessons in liberty taught
by the American revolution. Great Brit
ain learned to govern her colonies in such
a manner that today throughout the world
the colonials are focking TO the standard
of the mother country.
Contrasts England With Rome.
The speaker drew a striking contrast
between Rome and England. The former.

hordes were assailing her from every di-

looked toward the imperial city with the
love and affection Of child for its par
ent, whereas in the case of Great Britain,
from every quarter Of the globe the SOL
diers have come to give their all for the
welfare OF the home OF their ancestors.
In speaking of what Great Britain
had done during the present struggle
Sir George pointed to the fact that her
navy had SO guarde ded-the 6l0 miles of
sea lane from the north of Scotland to
the southern cape of Greenland that in
three years not single German
cruiser had escaped into the Atlantic
ocean, where it could have preyed
in all the ruthless submarine warfare
only 2,20o lives had been lost at sea,
whereas 100000 persons had been
borne safely by allied and neutral
ships; that the 500 miles of the River
Tigris. from Bagdad to the sea, chok-
ed with every possible obstruction that
nature and the Turks could devise had

Must Show German Nation.

In my judgment we have got to show
the German nation in the only way
they can be made to realize that
war does not pay: that their military
machine cannot get the desired results.
1t is only by decisive military results
that the war can be ended. Let the
Germans realize that We can go on
longer than they, and the change of
feeling in Germany, of which we hear
so much. will grow daily, and will it
self. perhaps. bring the results We all
long to see.
Mr.. Bonar Law intimated that should
stimulate the pacifist movement to the
point of the government losing sup
port for needful war measures. there
would be only one alternative for the
government. He declared that peace
on this basis would really be 2 defeat

and inopportune, because at the pres

of such meeting. The fact that the
local dealers are not in some cases en-
tirely satisfied with the amount of

fuel administration, is not confined to
the coal business or to the state of
Idaho. Nor Would venture the
statement that the demand is entirely
unjustified in some places. The state
fuel administrator, Mr.. Gooding, when
told of the action of the coal dealers
in the passage of the resolutions,
stated that he felt encouraged by the
fact that the meeting had seen fit to
praise his efforts. He expressed the
feeling that both the people and the
dealers understood an effort was being
made by the fuel administration to do
even and exact Justice, as nearly as
this could be accomplished by himself
and his associates, and that no fear
need be entertained that he would not
always be open to conviction in re-
gard to prices and the other regula-
tions that it might be necessary to in

FATTENlNG CRATES TO FINISH CHICKENS

The best way to finish chickens is
by crate fatteniug. Only strong. Wig
orous chickens that have obtained their
growth should be put in the crates.
Birds weighing from four to six
pounds are best. The object of crate
fattening is to plump out the breast
and body so that the bird will have
an attractive appearance when dressed.
Cockerels should be crate fed from
two to three weeks. AS soon as they
lose their keen appetites they should
be taken out and killed. Good cocker
els that weigh four pounds when put
In the crates should gain one pound
per bird in two weeks feeding.

into three compartments, each holding
from four to five birds, according to
the size of the chickens. The crate is

If every wife who is trying to cure

is trying to cure his wife would stop

Roup is always most prevalent in

Roup is an infectious disease. While
comfortable houses, freedom from
drafts, plenty of exercise and whole
some food will go long way toward
prevention, it is not sufficient. One
of the chief means of communication
of the disease germs is through the
drinking water.
The following antiseptic is one of
the most effective: In the bottom
of quart jar put layer of potas-
SUM permanganate crystals and add
cold water, always being careful to
keep more crystals than the water will
dissolve. This will constitute your
stock solution, and from this jar add
just enough liquid to give the drink
ing water deep violet color.
Make it a practice of not allowing
your birds to drink any water with
out this antiseptic, and you have taken
a big step in preventing roup.

SELLING OFF FARM POULTRY
Tendency on Part of Some Farmers to
Market Chickens on Account of
Price of Grain.

With the high price of grain there
is tendency on the part Of many
farmers to sell off their poultry. They
think it will not pay to feed high
priced grain to hens. Here is just
where they make big mistake. Eggs
have gone up in value also. Some of
the dealers, however, have not adj
vanced their prices as much as they
should, due partly to the fact that they
still follow old practices in buying and
selling.
1t is mighty good plan to sell off
the surplus cockereis, the late pullets
and hens over two years old. Good,
sound yearling hens that have shown
some capacity for laying and all we'll
matured pullets should be kept over
The surplus stock can be sold at a
profit and the better-class fowls win
show larger egg production If given
suitable care.
Farmers who sell off all their fowls
thinking that they will save big feed
bill and be able to buy young chicks
or Matching eggs next spring, may be
disappointed. They will find a bigger
demand than usual for Matching eggs
and chicks and as consequence may
have to wait weeks before their orders
are filed.

Then feed sparingly, never all the birds

day, l. hours apart. The chickens eat
as well by lantern light as in the day.

left before the birds longer than ten
minutes. This is very important. Re
move all food not eaten up readily, or
the chickens will SO off their feed. The
crates should be in secluded spot,

must be busted with sulphur or insect

the lice in check. II the sulphur Is

should form the greater part of any
fattening ration. All the grain fed
should be finely ground. as whole
grain requires too much energy to di
gest and the chickens are likely to get
sick when placed in close confinement
on whole grain. Some grit and char
coal should be fed to the chickens al
least once week. A very good com.

marriage was terminated by the death
of the marquis seven years afterward
in a duel. The young widow then de-
