New York, May 25.-New agitation
to attempt to persuade the allies to
send military expedition into Siberia
is gathering headway.
It shows evidence of being due pri-
marily to a desire to discredit the
Bolsheviki and drive them from pow
er. A strong force sent into Siberia
to overpower them might possibly
succeed in causing reaction against
Trotzky and Lenine in Moscow and
Petrograd but there is no certainty as
to this result. The two leaders Of the
Bolshevik have successfully with

Washington, May 25.--A new
move, backed by both republican and
democratic leaders, to postpone the
Revenue Bill until after the fall cleo

House Ways and Means Committee in
a meeting at noon, decided a plan
whereby the congressional leaders to-

try to agree to the postponement.

Treatment Of Russia Is Properly
An American War Problem

ed men might secure control Of Rus
sia's affairs and Russia in her perplex-
ity might throw herself unreservedly
into Germany's arms. The one basic
information is that if the Russian
people really desire to ally themselves
with Germany no army sent into ST.
IBERIA can prevent them. Russia is
too big and Germany too near for
that.
Under this accusation the Russians
may despair Of assistance from any
quarter and may plunge permanently
into the sphere Of Teutonic inauen-
ces. The treatment of Russia is prop
erly an American war problem since
America is in the war to help save
the world for democracy. In the f.
nal adjustments after the war If Rus
sia is found to have been alienated
from the western demOcracies the re-
suit would be exploited by Germany
and would have grave consequences.
Russia cannot be treated like a
naughty child to be spanked into good
behavior.

those Lorenzo had captured, carried
q pitifully light burden-only some
tools, some pans and kettles, and a roll
Of charred bedclothes.
Johnnie 0'Reilly had no difficulty in
locating the residence of Ignacio Alva-
RADIO, but to communicate with him
was quite another matter inasmuch
as his every step was dogged by that
persistent shadow from Nuevitas.
One evening, several days after his
arrival, a sudden rain storm drove
O'Rellly indoors, and as he ascended
to his room he saw that the lamp In
the hallway hared and smoked at ev-
cry gust Of wind. 1t was very dark
outside; he reasoned that the streets
would be deserted. Hastily securing
that book which Alvarado, the dentist,
had given him, he took a position close
inside his door. When he heard the
spy pass and enter the next chamber
he stole out into the hall and breathed
into the lamp chimney A moment
later he was safely through the win
dow and was working his way down
the shed roof, praying that his move
ments had not been seen and that the
tiles were firm. He nimbly scaled the
wall, crossed an incIosure, climbed
second wall, and descended into dark
side street. Taking advantage of the
densest shadows and the numerous
Overhanging balconies, he set out at
brisk trOt.
A light showed through the barred
windows of the AlvaradO home, indl-
eating that the family was in. After
some fumbling O'Reilly laid hold of
the latch; then, without knocking, he
opened the front door and stepped in.
His sudden appearance threw the
occupants into alarm: q woman cried
out sharply; a man whom O'Reilly

Johnnie summoned his most agreeable
smile, then he extended the sodden
package he had carried beneath his
arm. II come from your brother
Tomas. He asked me to hand you
this book and to say that he is return
ing it with his thanks"
"What are you saying?" Plainly the
speaker did not comprehend; there
was nothing but apprehension In his
voice.
O'Reilly tore the wet paper from the
volume and laid 1t In Alvarado's hand.

Alvarado stared first at the book,
then at his caller. After a moment he
made a sign to his wife, who left the
room. Wetting his lips, he inquired,
with an effort, "What do you want?"
O'Reilly fold him in a few words.

smiled. II see, but-Caramba You

Then he stepped out into the night,

blue tiles where he had stood.

HOW TO BREAK BRooDY FOWL
confine Hen In Small Coop With sIat
Bottom and Give Her Plenty of
Water to Drink.

When hens become broody and it is
not desired to allow them to hatch
chickens, they should be ''broken up"
as quickly as possible. The sooner this
is done the sooner they will resume
laying. To break hen of broodiness
she should be confined to a small coop,
preferably with slat bottom. Give
her plenty of water to drink; she may
be fed or not, as desired. Not much
difference will be found In the time
required to break her of brOOdiness
whether she is fed or made to fast.
Usually three to six days Of confine-
ment will do the work, but some hens
require ten to twelve days. The broody
hen will be recognized by her inclina-
tion to stay on the nest at night, the
ruffilng of her feathers and her de-
sire to pick anyone who approaches
her, and by the clucking noise she
makes.

prepared by the United States Depart
ment of Agrlculture.)
In order to be more successful in
raising chickens the poultrymen should
provide house which meets certain
requirements. 1t need not be an ex-
penslve structure but it is essential
that the hens have a comfortable
house which is dry, roomy, and
abundantly supplied with fresh air
and sunlight. 1t never pays to over
crowd the fowls.
No particular style of house is pc
cullarly adapted to any section of this
country. A house which gives satis-

House.
is preferable to build more open, and
consequently less expensive, houses in
the South than In the North. The best
site for the poultry house depends prln-
cfpally on the local conditions. The
location should have good water and
air drainage, so that the floor and
yards will be dry, while the house
should not occupy a low pocket or hol-
low in which cold air settles, and 1t
should be situated for convenience in
management and adapted to the avail
able land. Wherever possible south
ern or southeastern exposure should
be selected, although this is not essen
tial If there is any good reason for fac
ing the house in different direction.
Poultry can be raised successfully on
any well-drained soil. A light loan
which will grow good grass is well
adapted for this purpose, while very
light sandy soil through which the wa
ter teaches freely will stand more in
tensive poultry conditions, but most of
the green feed for the fowls kept on
A heavy clay or adobe soil is not as
well adapted to poultry raising, as
such land does not drain readily, and
it Is much more difficult to keep the
stock healthy. Long stationary houses,
or the intensive system, saves steps,
but it is easier to keep the birds healthy
and to reproduce the stock under the
colony system, where the birds are al
lowed free range. Breeding stock, and
especially growing chickens, should
have an abundance of range, while
hens used solely for the production of
market eggs may be kept on a very
small area with good results. The col
ony house system necessitates placing
the houses, holding about 100 hens,
from 200 to $50 feet apart, so that the
stock will not kill the grass. The col
ony system may be adapted to severe
winter conditions by drawing the col
ony houses together in a convenient
place at the beginning of winter, thus
reducing the labor during these months.
