HOLLWEG ATTACKS U. S.
QUESTIONS FAIRNESS OF AMER
IcAN COURSE DURING WAR.
Chancellor Says Action in Recalling
Ambassador Gerard Is "Unpre-
cedented."

Berlin, Feb. FISHERMAN Chancellor
Won Bethmann- H0llweg told the Ger
man reichstag that President Wilson's
action in breaking off relations with
Germany was unprecedented" He
characterized the method by which
America terminated friendly inter-
course as "brusque" He drew paral-
lei between President Wilson's course
in the Mexican imbrOglio of 1913 and
the German situation after the start
of the war.
The chancellor called attention TO
President Wilson's notification TO cou-
gress in 1913 thar he would follow in
tenational usage" ana put an embargo
on shipment of arms 10 both factions
in Mexico. But year later, the char
cellor said, these usages apparently
We're no more considered good"
HOlIweg dilated on the vast quaint
ties of war material shipped from
America TO Germanys enemies.
The chancellor referred to America's
insistence upon the right of American
citizens freely to travel to France and
England, but he declared the same
right of American citizens toward the
central powers did not seem to be as
worthy of protection and as valuable"
The chancellor found fault with the
abruptness of Gerard's recall, ana com
planned that he did Il3t know officially
why America had broken off relations.
Gentlemen" continued the chancel-
lnf I,O Nrvbn
ton. Breaking off of relations with the
United States and the attempted mo-
bilizatiOn Of all neutrals against rs
does not serve for the protection of the
freedom of the seas proclaimed by the
United States.
''They won't promote the peace de
sired by President Wilson. They rather
must have consequently encouraged the
attempt to starve Germany and multi
ply bloodshed.
We regret the rupture with a nation
who by her history seemed to be pre-
destined TO work with-not against
us.
But since our honest wish for peace
has only encountered jeering of war on
the part of our enemies. there is no
more backward step;' there is only
ahead possible for us
Germany's peace conditions are
based on PREPARATION for all wrongs
suffered and guarantees for the exist
ence and future of strong Germany"
The chancellor so outlined them in
his speech.
Discussing the establishment of the
barred zones around England, France
and Italy and to the answers received
from the central powers, the chancellor
said:
I'VE by no means undervaIue the diff
flcultes caused 10 neutral shipping,
and we therefore try to alleviate them
as much as possible.
,"For this purpose we made an at
tempt 10 supply neutral states within
the boundaries of our sea forces with
materials needed by them. like coal
| and iron.
But we also know that all these dlg.
/ ficulties after all are only caused hy
! England's tyranny of the seas.
1--WE will, and shall, break this en-.
/ slavement of all non English trade"

Washington, Feb. 2S.-1he destruc-

line Laconia was "clear-cut violation
of international law but not neces-
sarily the overt act" which will
plunge the United States into the Eu-
rOpean maelstrom.
This definition was obtained on
present reports of the sinking after
cabinet meeting and after state depart

diplomatic and consular officials near
the scene.

United States Consul Wesley Frost at
Queenstown. They were Mrs. Mary

Another Lusitania Case.
On the basis of the official reports
the sinking of the Laconia is regarded
as another Lusitania case in principle,
even though fewer lives were lost.
The following dispatch from Consul
Frost at Queenstown was received at
the state department:

Baby Carried Ashore.

Baby Carried Ashore.
First ashore was a tall stewardess,
hair streaming and euddling to her
breast tiny baby that was almost lost
in the vOluminOus wrapping of the
woman's life belt.
The pitiful company struggled across
the gangplank and were met with eager
sympathy. They were hurried TO a
fleet of waiting automobiles and car
ried to the Queens hotel. There cham
payne and bowls of steaming soup
awaited them. A big staff of Red Cross
nurses and surgeons looked them over
and hurried many off to bed.
Mrs. Harris Heroine.
One of the first passengers to land
was an American woman, Mrs. f. T..
Harris, who was accorded this honor
by the captains order because of her
heroism in supervising the departure
of the women and children from The
sinking ship.
She was the last passenger TO leave
the Laconia, standing by the side of
the captain and going the rounds with
him, carefully checking off the women
and children passengers to see that
they were all in their places and pro-
vided with clothing, blankets and tar
paulins.
Although the passengers showed the
effects of the ordeal, they put a merry
face on the misfortune for the most
part, and nearly all were able TO enjoy
the meal with a good grace. Their
sufferings had been intense.
Cedric r. watts, a theatrical mana
ger, who was a passenger on the La
coma, died of exposure. Mr.. Watts was
4 resident of London.
After the Laconia's survivors had
taken to the boats, the German subma-
rine which apparently sank the Cunard-
err, approached one lifebOat, inquired
for the captain and asked the nature
of the cargo. Receiving the informa-
ton from the second officer of the La
coma, the German officer remarked that
a British admiralty boat would reach
the survivors shortly, and then depart
ed without offering assistance. Ameri-
can Consul Frost reported the incidents
TO Ambassador Page.
Four Americans are among the
known surviving passengers. one of
whom is Rev. Joseph Wareing of Balti-
more, who was exhausted completely
when brought ashore.
According to stories gathered from
passengers from the Laconia who en-
tered Queenstown, the steamship was
torpedoed at about 10 80 o'clock Sum
day night. The passengers and crew
had taken to the boats when the sec
ond torpedo was fired into the sink
ing vessel. The boats were picked up
at four o'clock on Monday morning.
Many of the survivors wore only the
scantiest clothing.

Wireless Calls for Help.

The wireless on the Laconia sent
out call for help and rescuing
steamers were soon on the way to the
scene. After about six hours the
boats were picked up. In addition TO
the survivors brought TO Queenstown,
Is were lander at Bantry.
Four passengers are among those
sent to hospitals. Their injuries are
slight. Among the four is Doctor
Hawke, a resident of San Francisco.
He said that the first torpedo struck
the liner aft on the starboard side and
everyone made for the life preservers.
The passengers previously had been
instructed in boat drill and got into
the boats without panic. Doctor
Hawke said that all behaved well and
that discipline was truly good.
THE submarine returned after we
had been in the boats and fired anoth-
er torpedo, which put out the lights
and was followed by terrific explo-
sion. and the ship must have sunk
soon after" he continued. 1.-THE sec

IN Tie CUuISoO u h lay y
business 1t Is my privilege to examine many samples of grain from
all sections Of Montana, and how often do 1 find a sample of choice
oats containing a few black or wild oats, which condemns it for seed,
ferior, shrunken o yellow berries.
Do you know that a single grain of wheat products so grains
the first year, $500 grains the second, 125,OOO grains the third
year, 1925 100000 grains the sixth year and Pa, 14O,8 1926, 100000
the twelfth year? If the twelfth years production we're planted
it would produce enough wheat to feed all the inhabitants of the
earth during their natural lifetime. I mention these facts to show
how important it is that each grain planted be selected with the
greatest care.
You perhaps regard the idea Of hand picking the seed for a
large acreage ridiculous and impossible, but this is not sc. 1t
is u well-knOwn fact that q certain farmer in Canada spent many q
long winter evening hand picking his seed wheat by the aid of a
kerosene lamp while his neighbors loafed and slept, but this same
farmer captured a 81 1000 first prize at a New York agricultural
fair and later sold every bushel of wheat raised from the hand
picked seed to the Canadian Pacific railway for SO a bushel. Not
all of you AN raise $8 wheat, but 1 sincerely hope that this will
inspire some of you to spend these long winter evenings hand-pick.
ing your seed rather than in political gossip Or a checker game by
your neighbours fireside.
In conclusion, the following rules may be laid down in connec-
ton with your seed selection: Use only standard varieties which
you know ae adapted to your climate and soil. Never plant new
and untried varieties except in small tracts. Never sow wheat
which contains a per cent Of frosted grains, smut O wild oats. Be
ure that all wheat and flax is treated for smut and wilt before
planting. Do not plant flax which comes from a field where wilt
disease exists o # which contains fan weed or mustard seed. Ii you
plant seed raised by yourself OF neighbors be sure that a sample is
sent to the Montana experiment station at Bozeman and shows q
good termination and purity test. If you buy seed from a local seed
house g that they furnish these tests, in accordance with the state
law. Do not make the mistake of selling your choice grain and
planting your poorest simply because you can get a fancy price for
the choice.

BOOSTS RAVACED
BY TUBERCULOSIS
HENS WITH DISEASE FOUND
IN NEARLY EVERY COUNTY
IN MONTANA.
New Flock Should Be Started Separ-
ate From Old, With Both CAREFUL
" Under Fence; Meat Is Whole
some If Liver Is Free From Spots;
Drastic Measures Only Hope.

A hen isn't worth very much, nor
two hens, nor a dozen, but if all the
departments of the average ranch
paid as regular dividends as do the
flock of chickens, the farm mortgage
would soon be a curiosity. But be-
cause a hen represents such a small
investment, no one pays any atten-
ton to a dead hen Or two, and the
occasional funeral procession from
the henhouse stirs up no excitement
on the average large ranch. For this
reason, tuberculosis of poultry, the
most deadly and destructive of dis
eases of fowls, has become widely
spread in Montana, and is present in
nearly every county.
The disease is introduced into a
flock by a bird from a diseased
flock, and in six months or so the
older birds begin to show various
symptoms, such as becoming lame,
getting very thin, droopy and rag ID
in appearance, and finally dying un-
der the roosts or in some corner. II
they are cut open, the liver will be
found thickly spotted with small
white nodules, the ~intestines may
have knots and punches along their
walls, and other organs may nave
punches or swelings. The liver al
ways shows small white spots on its
surface. An emaciated hen, a year
old, or older, with a spotted liver, Is
almost certainly a case of tuberculo-
sis.
There is no treatment. A good
way to get rid of the disease is to
start a new flock, separate from the
diseased M keeping both flocks
carefully under fence. The eggs
from the old flock, are all right, and
the meat is wholesome if the liver
is free from spots. When the young
flock is beginning to lay the diseased
flock should be destroyed. Not a
single bird, no matter what it's ap.
pearance. should be kept over. The
house can then be Gisinfected, white
washed and the young birds moved
in.
