Japan's Price of Interven-

ment is said to correctly represent TN
Japanese view which is in effect that TN
allies mandate should be based ON thu

eminent the whole, hearty support OF
japanese public opinion in making such
far.reaching sacrifice OF life and treas
ure.
A Reuter- cablegram quoting an Asso'
ciated Press dispatch from Washington
is given great prominence in type and
position BY the morning newspapers, and
is commented on extensively. Some pa
pers display contributed articles setting
forth the Japanese view OF the situation.
The bulk of the opinion fsvors Japan's
proposed action without qualification,
and the plea is made in some quarters
that she ought implicitly to be trusted
and given a free hand.
The Times says that while the atti.
tude of President Wilson and the Amer
lean state department. does not seem to
be officially defined as yet, lit is clear
from the important Associated Press
statement that it would be mistake
to regard President Wilson's attitude as
decidedly averse to japanese interven-
ton
The Morning Post says;
Japan is entirely justified by the
danger which threatens her in taking
steps to protect her interests in Man
rhuria and Siberia If she is wise,
she will seek to be the deliverer of Rus
sia and to aim at freeing Russia from
The German yoke"
The Daily News contends that the in

would be a crime and that whatever is

RYE ALLOWED IN WAR BREAD.
Food Administration Extends Time Limit
Regarding Its Use to March 81.

Washington, March 2.--Bakers may
continue to use rye floor in victory bread
until March 81, the food administration
announced yesterday, in advising bakers
to buy other wheat -four substitutes.
In the baking regulations issued Feb
/, the use of rye flour as substitute
was limited to the period ending March
3. The decision to grant an extension
to March 81 was reached because in some
sections of the country where other sub
stitutes are not yet available rye flour
can be obtained.

EQUIPMENT SATISFACTORY.
American Seamen Utter No Complaint
About Clothing.

Base OF American Flotilla in British
Waters, March Correspondence OF
the Associated Press Admiral Henry
T. Mayo, commander of the Atlantic
fleet has eabled to Vice Admiral Sims, in
charge of American naval operations in
the war zone, request for information
| regarding the suitability of the special
winter outfits of clothing furnished to
the naval men by the navy department
at Washington. Admiral Mayo also
wants to know of any recommendations
for changes in these garments.
The Associated Press correspondent
| has yet to hear word of complaint
against the present outfit worn by the
men. Thanks to the busy women who
knit, most of the men, early in their
arrival here received excellent sweaters,
jerseys and socks which were sent bv
wives, relatives and friends back home.
When the cold weather came on these
were augmented by an entirely new is.
sue of extra heavy winter clothing,
Many of these garments were designed
by the British from their long experience
in torpedo boats in the hard winters off
this coast.
Here are some of the things, which
when donned, make some of the men
look more like Arctic explorers than
bluejackets:
Helmets of wool which cover all but
the eyes, nose and mouth; light knitted
coat sweaters, jerseys and cardigan jack
cts: knitted mittens and gloves extra
heavy coarse Undertaking; heavy wool
en- socks and knee-length stockings;
leather sea boots; wind proof khaki
colored trousers: great coats lined with
lambs wool. The last named are worn
over the life jacket and help to make az
the most serviceable combination worn
by Americans over here. They keep the !
men warm on the damp, cold days with !

Relatives of large majority of the /
men over here continue to send them /
knitted things. All sorts of knitted I
arrive and are deeply appre-
tiated. Outlines the men receive knit
ted garments from wife or sweetheart 1
that are not very serviceable but accom-
panying letters from home are so en-
thusiastic that the men hesitated to utter
a word of criticism. II

When Women Fight.

The fact that Russian women formed
a regiment called the battalion of

has stirred up the question whether our

Every woman's burdens in the war

Bury Wealth

WeathCrford. TeX-After five years
at tunnelins on his farm, near here.
Carl Curtis, a carpenter. believes that
ho is practically in reach Of what he
confidently expects 10 be fabulous
rtune in buried gold bullion
He considers that it IS only 4 mat
ter of days until he will be H. posses
sion of the treasure, which he believes
IS located almost within few fee.
Il will total at least 100000 he
thinks. and may open the way TO a
long hidden nine, capable of yielding
untold wealth. So firm is his own con.
yIction that the end OF his long search
is at hand tina. he has gotten some
of his friends and neishbors TO think
lug the same way.
Curtis dream of the hidden gold be-
gan nearly a quarter Of a century ago,
when he was working with survey
ing party near the present tuanel site
He noticed a tree curiously marked
with spike and cross. Not far
away he found two walnut limbs
stuck four feet into the ground, and
unon digging there, he brought TO
light a bowie knife scabbard OF black
leather and the shoulder blade OF an
animal with the larger end sawed at
al. exact angle.
Later on man from Thurber ap-
peared with map, which he said he
had obtained from a Mexican, indicat'
Ing that Santa Anna, the Mexican
General had buried treasure there.
The land had been bought at that
time by Curtis father, and the owner
OF the map was not permitted to pro
secute his search.
Hampered by lack of funds and as
sistance, Curtis allowed nearly 70
wears to pass before he began digging
in earnest for the treasure. Once
started however, the work proved
less difficult than had been antlclpat-
ed. As he went deeper into the ground
following the line OF least resistance,
tie walls Of former tunnel were re-

moved with comparative ease

MODERN t,IvEs FOR BEES

Hundreds OF thousands Of bee CO.
lonles, representing about one-thrd
OF the number KEPT IN The United
States are housed in log gums and
in box hives. and produce for their
owners an insignificant amount OF
honey compared with what they might
do il they were transferred 10 NOV
able-frame hives and handled by i'm
proved methods.
If all the bee Keepers now using
box hives would adopt the modern
type OF moyable-frame hive they would
not only secure more profit from their
bees for themselves but would add
millions of pounds of honey to the ma
TONS supply, according TO Farmers
Bulletin 96l. Transferring Bees to
Modern Hives, by +, L. Sechrist. re-
Gently published by the United States
Department Of Agriculture. The bull
letin describes a number Of the best
methods of transferring from old to
new hives. Much OF the honey pro-
duced by colonies in box hives is
wasted by crude methods OF securing
the crop, the bulletin states, and these
colonies are reduced in earning value
by uncontrolled swarming and by the
annual loss of bees which die in WIN
ter because OF lack OF protection and
sufficient food stores,
While bees may be transferred at
any season when they are active, the
bulletin states that the best time is
during the season of fruit bloom when
the combs contain little honey, and
when the bees will gather nectar rath'
er than rob honey from hive which
is being transferred. Another good
time for transferring is Immediately
after the first swarm Of the year when
the number OF bees in the hive is
greatly reduced and when there is no
danger Of losing or injuring the queen.
She goes with the swarm. leaving
queen cells in the hive. Transferring
when robber bees are active requires
that the work be done inside a screen
ed or bee.tight building.
The bulletin describes five methods
OF transferring One consists in cut
ting the combs from the box hive and
placing them in new moyable-frame
hive and transferring the bees by
shaking or drumming them from the
old hive. Another way is to drum the
bees out and move them to new hivcs
which have been previously provided
with full sheets Of comb foundation.
The third Aethod consists in catching
the swarm as it issues from the old
hive and Immediately putting 1t IN the
new hive placed on the old stand In
the fourth method the new hive con-
tanning comb foundation is placed on
the old one and an opening for the
bees provided between the two. Inc
fifth method requires a little special
equipment, and takes advantage or
the fact that in some localities the
bees are almost sure to swarm. Pace
the new hive near the old one and
provide it with a queen trap near the
entrance in such way that when the
bees swarm the queen will be caught
and the worker bees automatically
will enter the new hive.
These methods are described IN de-
tail in the new bulletin, which Will be
sent free, so long as the supply lasts'
