A Few Remarks About Late Hatches.
By J. H. MeFAUL, Jr.
(AH Rights Rese,Ved1

proper handling Of the eggs prior to incubation
Have you ever noticed the chicks sticking 10 ths
shell. and which invariably die unless liberated BY
human hands and even this will oftimes fail e
save them The real cause for this condition il
that the eggs have been improperly handled.
Eggs. to be used for purposes Of incubation
should never be washed, unless il is absolutely
necessary in which event IL may be done with a
little alcohol on a clean soft cloth handling them
very carefully all the while
There are a great many persons who feel that
washing does the eggs no harm. Well it certainly
does them no good, and that which does no good
must Of necessity do some harm.
While the eggs are being kept for incubation
either waiting for hroody hen or waiting for a
they should be turned every day. Constantly lay
ing in one position the membrane is caused to
stick to the shell Of the egg, with the result that
when Il is time for the chick to pick itself out Of
the shell. il is prevented from doing So Il also
lessons the vitality Of the chick.
failure to attend to this minor detail will cause
the death Of many chicks that might otherwise be
saved. Removing the chicks from the shell is in
all with the greatest care The least slip Of the
finger results in tearing the skin of the younRster
causing il 70 bleed to death
The eggs for Matching should be set soon af-
ter laying as possible. This method will always
insure better hatch and will thus avoid the daily
toll OF turning the eggs. Another reason for using
the eggs quickly is that the longer they lay the
weaker becomes the germ which causes the chick
to form, and naturally. the chicks are weak when
hatched
When eggs are being kept for incubation never
allow them to become subjected 70 sudden changes
in temperature. For best results they should at
all times be kept in temperature Of from 48 to so
degrees. The germ Of an egg will start action at
iO degrees while cold temperature will naturally
impair the same.
II these points are remembered and followed |
you should have but little trouble in getting good
hatches and these should always be gotten of as /
early in the season as possible

VOTES FOR WOMEN

! That there may be no confusion in the
( minds OF those interested in the cause
OF equal suffrage, let me state that the
| Congressional Union" for Woman Suf-
frage. as such, has ceased to exist. This
is in name only. not in spirit. The Spirit
Of 76," still is alive. very much alive, in
the breast OF the woman Of 1917.
At the national conventions Of THE
Congressional Union" and The Wo-
mans Party" composed OF woman vot-
ers only held in Washington, at the
same time, it was deemed wise to COM
bine the two parties into one great or
ganization to be known as the National
Womans Party" 1t is hoped thus to
make impossible. duplication, difference
Of opinion and divergence Of method. By
uniting. we make for unity Of spirit, in
the whole suffrage movement, bringing
the voters and non-voters together in a
movement in which they should both be
integral parts.
With the news Of the great revolution
in Russia comes this heartening piece Of
information. that the women OF Russia
are likely to have suffrage and here we
have been mourning poor. old Russia"
Isn't il a case Of the pot calling the ket-
tie black, and the kettle putting one over

DETENTION AS PRISONERS
 OF NEUTRAL SAILORS
The Subject of Summary Issued by
 the German Admiralty.

Berlin. via London, Jan. 21.--A sum mary of the German, a admiralty's official statement on the detention as prison CTS of war of neutral sailors aboard armed merchantmen captured by the German naval forces was cabled to the state department at Washington by Ambassador Gerard last evening. This is the only information yet avail able regarding this development In naval procedure.
 The German official circles profess to regard the case as affording an opportunity for negotiations looking to the settlement between America and Germany of the status of armed mer- chantrnen. Since the men in question | are safe and the case Is not comph- l cated by any considerations or the los: of human life, such as might have beeI involved had 1t arisen from the de- struction of armed merchantmen by submarines, optimism over an alnic- able adjustment is expressed here.
 Since the issuing of the German memorandum on armed merchantmen earlier in the war, German authorities have held that a ship which mounts guns, whether they be intended fol defense or offense, loses it's status as a private commercial craft and be- comes a warshfp. Sailors taking ser vice on such ship, these authorities contend, lose their neutral status. just as if they had enlisted in the naval forces of beligerent. Therefore, these sailors are liable to treatment as prisoners of war, it is held.
 These grounds are set forth in the second annex to the German prize code, which states explicitly that the crews of armed merchantmen which offer resistance to German naval forces shall be treated war prisoners. AL though the memorandum and the prize code take this stand, the problem has been held in abeyance.
 Of late, however, the armed mer-

ITALIANS ARRESTED FOR
 SWiNDLING IN FRANCE
Ran a Bank Which, When Searched,
 Did Not Contain a Penny.

Paris, Jan. 21, Il a. m.-An alleged swindle estimated by different news papers as amounting from 5000, 900 to 100000 francs was disclosed yes terday in the arrest of Philippe Slime oni. of Italian origin, and Prince Henri de Broglie-Revel. M. Simeoni was ac- cused in 1912 of swindIing the German Prince Frederick Carl Zu Hohenlohe- Gehringen out of 500, ,000 francs. The case was settled out of court, but Simeoni was sentenced to six months Imprisonment for fraudulent bank ruptcy. Afterwards he founded the Compton des Valeurs Industrielle. which was a stockbroking bank Prince henri de Broglie- -Revel was placed a t the head of the institution as its presi- dent, Simeoni taking the title of man ager.
 At the outbreak of the war cus- toners of the bank demanded their money. Simeoni pleaded the mora torlum and put the bank into Iiquida- tfon, provoking many complaints, one of which alone alleges a claim Of 1,6O0. 900 francs. The police report that not sou remained in the bank when they searched it and that only few hundred francs in notes were found in the possession of Simeoni at his | home.

TURKISH DOCUMENT ON
 ENTENTE PEACE REPLY
Tells of Alleged Intrigues to Effect the
 Partition of Ottoman Empire.

Berlin. Jan. 21 (By Wireless to Say ville).- A summary of the note handed by the Turkish government to the neutrals in relation to the entente an swer to the peace proposals of the central powers was given cut today by the Overseas News agency as fol-
 lows:
 The note points out that the cen
 traI powers, especially Turkey. not
 desiring entente territory, had no req
 son whatever to begin the war. The entente. howeve-, aS q matter of com mon knowledge, the note continues, powers. Thus, it continues. France wishes Syria and Alsace-Lorraine; :; Italy desires the southwestern Austri- an provinces; Russia wants Constanti- nople and the straits and large part of Anatolia, and England wants Meso- potamia and Arabia.
 Equally known, the note adds. are the intrigueS of the entente conducted | in an effort to hamper Turkeys evo- lutiOn and realize the plan for the par ! tition of Turkey, in spite of the prin- ciples of nationa1ities, which as a matter of fact is subject of indiffer- ence to the entente immediately it's own interests are at stake. The procla-
 nation of a British protectorate over
 Egypt, where the population is alien
 to the English race; the annexation of
 Cyprus. where there were no Engifsh; i; the occupation of Tripo1i by the Ital-
 ians, where the Italians were simply
 intruders; the visionary dream to give to Russia Constantinop1e and the Mar mora basin, where an overwhelming
 majority of the population is Turkish and Northumberland of these are ps inted to as violations of the principle of the nationality
 Turkey, says the note, thus was
 obliged to take up arms for the de-
 fensS of territorial integrity, liberty and independence, and she is now per-
 suaded that this object has been at
 tafned, the hostile powers being at this
 time as far from the realization of
 their plans as ever. For this very
 reason, it is concluded, they positively
 decline the sincere proposition of the central powers and deliberately take upon themselves the responsibility for the continuation of the bloodshed''
