It was against the bill to reduce the

On each, that Neumiller made his

experiment to find whether the most
economical and efficient way to feed
milo maize to swine is to feed it with
the heads, to thresh it, or to feed it
threshed and soaked in water. Pens
of hogs are being fed in these three
different ways. To find the value of

TURK FORCES LOSE
TO BRITISH ON TIGRIS

London, Feb 25.-The following Of
ficial communication dealing with the
operations in Asiatic Turkey was is
sued by the war office tonight:
"The southern portion of the San
naiyat position captured in the first
assault Thursday consisted of two
trenches on frontage of $50 yards
and to a depth of 100 yards. The
Turks delivered six counter-attacks
but, although one of them was tenn
porarily successful, we secured and
consolidated all our gains,
Thursday afternoon a further as
sault was launched against the Tur-
north and our whole objective was
gained. Heavy Turkish counter-at-
tacks retarded our progress but we
finally consolidated our gains and at
the end of the day the first two lines
of trenches on front of 800 yards
were firmly in our hands.
THESE operations having drawn
the enemy's attention in the direction
of, Sannaiyat, it appeared possible that
Hossing of the Tigris might be eff
fected at the Shumran bend. There
fore, just before Gaybreak Friday, the
first covering parties we're ferried
across, followed at intervals through
out the day by other parties.
THE Turks offered stubborn resist
ance to our progress, but this resist
ance failed to stop our advance.
simultaneously with the crossing
of the river, the assault on the San
naiyat position was resumed. The
third and fourth Turkish lines of
trenches were captured on a front of
! 900 yards.
1T is impossible yet to give full
account of the operations but the pris-
oners taken on Friday in the Shumran
area numbered eleven officers and
U33 men. Five machine guns also
We're captured.

down recently"

of Juarez and was preparing to make
an assault upon the town from the

Icy MORNING JOURNAL SPECIAL LEASED WiREl
The Hague, Feb 25.-The state
.ment issued yesterday by the German
legation here to the effect that the
torpedoing of the seven Dutch mer-
chantmen was due ito an extremely
regrettable coincidence of circum-
stances which is unfortunate, but was
beyond our CONTROL" contains also an
explanation made. it says, Ito prevent
erroneous impressions" 1t states tha'
in view of the situation of Dutch ves-
sells in English ports, the sailing time
for these ships was first fixed for
February S, then for February 8, and
then for midnight of February 10.
Finally, "for reasons for which Eng
land was to blame" the sailing date
was postponed to February % or
March II. The only date for sailing
for which absolute safety from sub
marines could be absolutely guaran-
teed, was March II, the statement
says, as at that time German subma-
rines would have possessed instruc,
tons in regard to these vessels. Even
then safety from mines could not be
guaranteed, shippers having been
warned on February that the danger
zone had been mined extensively.
For the same reasons. the statement
says, until March 5, relative security,
meaning safety dependent on good
fortune, will apply to the channel to
the west of Denmark, through which
Dutch transatlantic shipping must
pass.

Baltimore, Feb. 25.--The British
