Washington. March PA naval
strength OF 100000 officers and men
is provided for in the naval appro-
priation bill authorizing the eXpendl-
ture of approximately $l.o4O,ooo,-
600 during the next fiscal year, COM
pleted today by the house committee
on naval affairs and to be reported
early next week
The committee grants to the navy
department virtually all funds re-
Guested of congress by Secretary
Daniels last December, the total eS-
Inmates submitted having been ST.
O47,914,O27. The bill as it now
stands carries less than the total ap-
preparations for naval purposes dur
ing the current year, but the l9lS
appropriations were supplemented
materially by urgent deficiency bills.
Secretary Daniels is authorized by
the bill to increase the enlisted
strength of the navy from 1000 to
100000 men: the number of appren-
tice seamen from 5000 TO $4,000
men: the enlisted flying corps from
$50 to 10000 and the marine corps
enlisted men from 10000 to 10000.
The increased marine corps will
bring that body OF the navy beyond
the strength OF one division and the
appointment of an additional ma
jor general is authorized by the COM
mittee
Maj. Gen. George Barnett at
present is the only major general of
marines.
The committee provides s1S4,-
39I ,00G for increases in the navy,
this sum to be expended in the con-
struction of torpedo boats, Destroy
munition. This is an increase of Sl0,-
100000 over the big appropriations
of last year
New batteries for ships are provid-
ed S4S.309, 523. against only $2.201,-
600 carried for 1918: funds for am
munition for vessels aggregating-
$39, $50, a purpose for which
nothing was carried in the 1918 bill,
and the ordnance and ordnance
stores appropriations total S24, 1884,
045, an increase of SIG, 900, 900 over
last year.
An appropriation of S50,000,O00
is carried for reserve ordnance sup
plies, an increase of $44, 100000.
The growth in the strength of the
navy is Indicated by the appropria
tons for pay. The bill provides for
pay of the navy S227,372, 946,
against s34.i53,370 for the current
year, and for the marine corps s75,-
$40. PIG, as compared with s10,144,-
934 for 1918. Clothing is covered by
an appropriation of $27,00O,000, for
which purpose only Sl,5O0,000 was
provided last year.

by the state department holding
there was no treaty obligation which
would require the American govern
ment to pay Germany the proceeds.
I'm my opinion we are absolutely
relieved from any treaty obligation
to account for this property" said
the senator. Speaking for myself,
and I think the American people, If
the German people ever get any COM
pensation for this property, it will be
after they have compensated the Am
erican people for the millions

worth of property they have ruthless

Senator Martin quoted from a
statement by A. Mitchell Palmer, the
alien property custodian, to the ap-
preparations committee that it was
desired to separate entirely and per-
manently" German control from
large German holdings.
These industries are spread from
one end of the country to the other"
said Senator Martin. making enor-
nous profits for our enemies.
Senator Martin said Mr.. Palmer

property and that his authority
would extend only to the German in

that, II some gross diplomatic blum
der is not committed by the Entente
Allies. the Soviets will repudiate this
treaty and rally the idealism of Rus
STA to the standard of democratic
war aims again. What more inoppor-
tune moment. it is asked, could have
been chosen for precipitating the
panese-Siberia issue? What more
disastrous action than this could
have been devised?
In short, the opinion seems to be
that the Entente Allies by support
ing the Japanese proposal have al
reody come perilously near to COM
hitting the gross diplomatic blum
der which was so greatly to be fear
ed. The Old intolerance and lack Of
understanding toward Russia seem
to have persisted in spite OF the fact
that the old regime in Russia is
known TO be organizing powerful
movement under German direction
for he return of the monarchy, and
in spite of the fact that the govern
ment of the SovietS, Notwithstanding
their German peace, have conclusive
ly demonstrated themselves to be
the chief enemies of Germany left in
Russia.
Americas stand in the Japan
ese issue shows very clearly that the
diplomacy of the Administration will
from now on be consciously based
upon the differentiation between i'm
perialistc and liberal groups which
is becoming more evident in every
country of the world as the war con-
tinues.
A greater part of President Will
sons recent declarations of policy
has been aimed to encourage liberal
groups everywhere, and there would
seem to be little cause for doubt of
his belief that these groups are the
ones which, united in the last phase
of the war. will sustain and carry
forward the war for democracy.

Don't spend your time wondering
why black hen lays a white egg, but
get the egg"
Thus runs the famif THAR legend which
is especially mandatory now since the
government is exerting it's best efforts
to get you to raise more poultry TO
tell how to get the egg and make
the egg getting game a paying one is
the object of this article.
The hen is an egg laying machine.
and if she eats more food than her
eggs are worth, then she doesn't pay,
and there are hundreds OF thousands
of such hens ON American back lots
and farms today. They are literally
eating their heads Off. But there is
money-good money-in raising the
right kind of hens. The big thing in
egg getting is to get the right start;
that is, to get the right kind of chick
ems. By this we do not mean the right
breed. Any breed will do II you get
the right birds. Your birds must be
vigorous and healthy, but that's not all.
Back Of the individual bird must
be the right parentage. The bird )
mother must be an egg laying bird. and
the father must come from egg-laying
parentage. Then, and only then. are
you reasonably sure Of getting the
eggs.

But" you say, "how am I to know
anything about the parentage of a
chicken?" That is just the point. Too
many beginners don't know how to buy
birds with the right parentage. The
only way to do this is to buy from
some reputable breeder of standard
bred fowls. You will pay more for your
stock in this way, but in the long run
it will more than pay for it's additional
expense.
Buying poultry is like buying pair
CT shoes, only more important. You
know it pays to buy good pair Of
shoes, but if you buy a cheap pair you
can get better pair when they are
gone. In buying poultry, however, you
are not buying simply for the present;
80 il you get poor stock you will have
poor stock next year and the following
wears. or else have to sell and buy over
again.
OF course, there are many things OF
Importance in the egg getting game,
but the one thing needful, which can
not be stressed upon too much, is
starting right by getting standard
bred stock. With this right start and
care and common sense. the beginner
in the poultry business this year should
not only serve his country well by pro-
viding food, but should find pleasure
and profit.

VIEWS ON SIBERIA SENT.
No Strong Protest Sent to Japan
Statement Points Danger


Washington, March 12.-The Tn
tied States has communicated to
Japan, through the medium Of the
American ambassador in Toxic, her
views as to the Japanese Siberian
situation. While the understanding
is that these views are intended to
be given orally to the Japanese gov
eminent, it would be idle to contend
that the action loses thereby any of
the force of an official diplomatic
communication. The attending cir
cumstances rather than the degree
Of Formally give weight TO a diplo-
matte step Of this kind, and the cir
cumstances in the present case lend
profound significance to the action
A simple statement of the case is
that any expression of disapproval
of the course proposed by Japan in
Siberia places America at once in op-
position to England, France and
Japan on this issue. There can be no
other Interpretation of the situation.
Japan is known to have proposed the
step. England and France are known
to have favored it. If America does
rot assent she is il opposition.
Speculation naturally is rife as to
the exact terms of the views Ameri-
ca has communicated to Japan.
From the above brief analysis of the
situation it is evident that America
would not at this time feel called up
on to make vigorous objection; the
simple statement of her position and
OF the reasons which place her in
such a position would be sufficient
to clear the issue, with all the other
parties known to be of one and OPP
posite mind. e.
There is no reason to suppose that
for the present simple statement of
her position is not all that America
has put forward Her position, of
course, is the fundamental one of
democratic war aims. The conclusion
seems to have been universally
reached in well-informed circles that
America has expressed to Japan her
opinion that the contemplated action
in Siberia would disastrously COM
promise the integrity of the aims
of all those who agreed to such a
proposition; that the exigencies of
the situation did not seem to call for
such a step, and that the move could

Huns Would Punish Roumania.

Comment in German newspapers
is very severe on Roumania. me
Cologne Gazette says 1--WE hold this
enemy firmly in our hands and Will
not let go until he has done our will,
until he has reaped what he has
sown.'
The Rheinische Westfalische Zeit-
ung, after saying that Bulgaria and
Hungaria will profit, adds: But
Germany bore the main burden Of
the war against Roumania, and &C
cording to recognized international
law, the victor has the right to the
spoils." The newspaper urges Ger
many to exact "a proper war indem-
nifty"
Explanation Of the preliminary
treaty with Roumania is made in
statement issued to the Austrian
press at Vienna. It says that the Do
brudja was transferred to the Cen
trail Powers as whole in order TO
make the decision easier for Rou-
mania.
The frontier adjustments in
Pennsylvania, in general, mean the
protection of the Iron Gates and the
Petrozeni mines as we'll as precau-
ton against fresh surprise attacks
The new frontier. however, Will not
20 deeply into Roumania. The econ
omic demands relate particularly TO
imports of petroleum and agricultur-
al products, and the evacuation OF
Austria-Hungary by Roumanlan
troops affects strip of Bukowina
still occupied by the Roumanians.
Finally, the statement says, the
stipulation that RoLmania must give
transport facilities for troops and
transports of the Central Powers to
Odessa appeared necessary in order
to safeguard the shipment of large
grain supplies from Odessa by way
of the Volga Dneiper, and Danube
rivers to the central empires
The Hamburger Fremdenblatt, a
CODY of which has been received here
SAYS It learns Germany has secured
the privilege of utilizing the Rou-
manian petroleum industry and that
she thus hops to be independent in
this respect of the United States
Enver Pasha, in an address to the
Turkish chamber, ascending to a
Constantinople dispatch, said the
Bolsheviki had proclaimed that self
determination was ahe right Of the
peoples, and that the Turkish gov
eminent would not fail to recognize
autonomous governments already cS-
tablished in the eau. asus and other
governments in the neighborhood OF
Turkey and would support them il
