reported that President Igoyen of Argentina at last
had made up his mind to conclude secret agreement
with Chile and Bolivia for protection against North
America before the conference idea is taken up
again" .....
The conference idea' is assumed to have been
the plan for Latin American neutrality conference
strongly supported by President Carranza of Mexico
and much discussed in Of the South American
countries while the proposed secret agreement may
explain reports that have come from Buenos Aires
recently of President Irigoyen's activities.
In the main the cablegrams outline the manner
in which Germany by the familiar formula of dis
avowal and reparaton' satisfied Argentina for the
Argentine government later break relations.

Opposition to Bolsheviki In

Rumanians Join Ukrainians
FOE OFFICERS HELPING
(By Associated PresS)

Opposition to the Bolshevik ap-
parently is increasing as reports OF
German support of the Maximalist gov
ernment become more pronounced and
the situation in Russia grows more
chaotic while the Bolshevik endeavors
to arrange separate peace with the
central powers.
The Ukraine in its hostility to the
Bolshevik government has been joined
by the Russian staff on the southwest
ern front and General Stcherbatcheff,
the commander in Rumania, has been
appointed head OF the Ukrainian
forces, reported to be marching
against the Bolsheviki.
Another report reaching London
says that the Rumanians have joined
the Ukrainians, while other dispatches
declare that former Premier kerensky
is marching against Moscow and that
Grand Duke Nicholas is raising a
royalist army in the Caucasus.
Foe Officers Help.
German and Austrian officers re-
leased from Russian prisons are re-
ported to have led the Bolsheviki in
overpowering their opponents in Tash-
kent, the capital of Russian Turkes-
tan, while other released enemy pris-
oners, said to be two army corps, are
near Petrograd. Officers of the cen
tral powers are said to be active in
Petrograd, although this is denied by
the Bolsheviki, who claim that the con-
stitutional democrats are trying to put
Russia under German control.
Meanwhile. diplomats OF the central
powers are hurrying to begin negotia-
tions with the BolsheviN. On leaving
Berlin the German emissaries were
urged by the populace to make "a
strong peace"
Premier Lloyd-George OF Great
Britain simultaneously with the publ
cation OF German peace feelers, de-
clares that the allies must defeat mill
tarism and that league of nations in
cluding the Prussian autocracy would
. be farce. The Teutons must restore
territory and repay losses.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 21. Damning evidence
that Germany planned aggressive action IN South
America after the war; and that German diplomats
have intrigued to set Latin-America against the
United States is contained in seized German dplo
matte correspondence published by Secretary OF
State Lansing Thursday.
Thirty-four cabegrams passing between Count
Luxburg, former German minister at Buenos Aires,
and the German foreign office were given out by
Secretary Lansing through an arrangement with the
Argentine government for simultaneous publication
in both countries.
The medium of communication between Luxburg
and Berlin was not stated by Mr.. Lansing but it is
presumed these messages sent to Berlin by the
Swedish legation at Buenos Aires via Stockholm, as
was the famous "spurlos versenkt" cablegram in
which Luxburg advised sinking of Argentine steam
ers without a trace"

German envoy to Chile on his in holding Chile
to neutrality. Then he added this significant dis
coure of Gsrmany's plans:
AS long as Chile is neutral Germany will
be able after the war to carry out her South
American policy just as WELL if not more cas-
lily, in opposition to infatuated and mis-
guided Argentina with Argentina on her
side . The situation here is by
means incapable of solution. The president
has the firm intention of setting the council
of ministers against North America"
Irigoyen Favored Germans.
The president mentioned is presumed to refer
to President Irigoyen of Argentina, who is mentioned
frequently in the dispatches being favorable to
the German plans. Irgoyen fought the action of the
Argentine congress in breaking relations with Ger
many until he was forced to give way.
The Argentine minister for foreign affairs ex-
plains in foreword that the cablegrams trans

Exposure Of Young Animals to Severe

Retards Development. .

The exposure of young horses Ia
the short spells Of severe weather
which occur frequently during the fall
causes a shrinkage In live weight and
is hindrance to rapid economical de-
velopment. Older horses seem to stand
this sort Of treatment with less loss.
II is doubtless true that animals be-
come accustomed to winter weather,
but frequent changes from fine fall
weather to bad storms retard gains In
colts without shelter.
Four yearllng Percheron FLIES with
an average weight of 1,169 pounds on
pasture, with a ration of six pounds of
corn and oats (one-half Of each by
weight) daily shrunk an average of 81
pounds each during the spell Of severe
weather on October IS to 20 at the Uni
versity of Missouri. Aged mares In
foal, lost only slightly during the same
period.
inexpensive sheds which will protect
colts from wind, rain. sleet and snow
will prevent part OF such loss in
weight. Growing horses should not be
housed too closely and prevented from
taking plenty Of exercise, but they
should not be subjected to extremely
bad weather If they are expected to
make satisfactory growth.

CARING FOR FEET OF SHEEP
Neglect Often Brings Troubles Later
on-Praetical Plan Outlined for
Needed Attention.

Neglect of the feet often brings
sheep troubles later on. Uncared-for
feet are favorable breeding grounds
for foot rot and crooked pasterns.
Try this PLAN. Turn the sheep out in
pasture while the grass is wet. This
will clean the feet and soften the
hoOf. After n few hours pen the
sheep, take a hoof clipper or pruning
knife and remove the surplus hoof
or crooked portions. Trim so that the
horn is on level with the sole Of the
foot. If pairing is necessary more on
one side thu the other in order to
balance the foot. do this. Aim to
have a level foot when the sheep
stands on the ground,
