SPEECH Is
INTERPRETED
(By United Press.)

WASHINGTON, Feb. 26.-Internation-
al experts here interpret the conciliatory
tone Of Chancellor Hertling's peace adj
dress to mean that Germany is ready to
quit fghting now that she has bagged a
good portion OF Russia. There can be
no mistaking that Germany wants peace.
but a peace advantageous TO herself.
The military party still is in power.
There IS some belief that in singl-
ing out four Of President Wilson'S
peace planks for approval Hertling had
hopes Of splitting the allies. relying
upon their different ideas as 10 the
handling Of colonies. No one here was
able to guess what the president will
do. although it was assumed he would
make some rejoinder Hertlins ap-
poaled 10 the pacinsts Of allied coun-
tries to work for more statements
coinciding with wilson's.
The chancellor's acceptance of the four
planks may indicate he is sure the allies
will not hagle over the final disposition
Of Russia If French. Belgian. Italian
and some Balkan matters can be ad-
Iusted Even though captured Russian
provinces were permitted to determine
their own government the Germans could
figure on coercing them her way. The
Teutonic element Of the population
there would be an aid in that project.

ASSA|LS
FUEL DIRECTION
BY CART FIELD
Try United Press.)

WASHINGTON. Feb. 26.-Predicting
coal shortage Of the most disastrous
character soon unless the fuel admins
tration ceases experimentation and
guess work" Senator Reed today sub
mitted to the fuel Investigating COM
mittee a statement Of facts developed at
the recent inquiry into the coal situa-
tion. He recommended:
/. Ending governmental interference
With the coal business.
. Immediate announcement Of prices
to prevail after April l so dealers may
make contracts.
8 Telling consumers what coal IS
available and its price.
Reed sharply criticized handling of
The coal situation by the fuel admins
tration. Sixteen per cent more coal was
produced here and 100000 tons less used
in shipping in 1917 than in 1915.
The senator charged the coal famine
this winter TO a reputation of the
prices fixed last summed; to constant as
surance Of abundant supply: to unwise
priority orders and forcing of coal north
and west instead Of east.

Wild Time of it.

NO devices for amusement or music
OF any kind or character or partitions
Of any kind, shall he permitted in such

This clause in the Proctor and Indiana
liquor laws is the source Of Mayor Dan
Browns authority for ordering out of
saloons, tables and chairs which have
been used for card games and gambl-
ing. A reporter learned today
To operate a restaurant in connection
with a saloon, the saloonkeeper must
specify his intentions Of so doing in
the petition to the county commission
ers for license. the law also states.
Therefore. saloons operating under il
cense giving them permission 10 con-
duct restaurant or lunch counter
may do SO. It appears.
Whether a court would hold that
chairs and tables come under the head
of devices for amusement is a ques-
tion. but tho fact remains that the
mayor has full and complete power to
revoke the city license OF any saloon
and can enforce his act by the power
Of the police. TO secure revocation Of
county saloon license suit must be
filed in a superior or circuit court.
The Indiana liquor law also prohibits
use OF screens in windows or saloons

Foop FOR FIGHTERS FIRST.
The Celina Democrat. (Celina, O. [Ohio]) 1895-1921, 1918-03-22
Growing Calves for Beef.

In order that calves may be qualified
for the production of baby beef, that
is, fattened and matured for market
between one and two years of age, they
must have quality and good finish.
The consumer does not want the I'M
finished yearling, and the calf that
does not have quality will not take on
a high finislf Neither will the calf
lacking in early-maturing qualities
fatten properly during the latter part
of the feeding period, but instead it
will use most Of the feed which it con-
sumes for growth. The feeder should
keep this in mind and first determine
whether his calves are good enough to
compete on the fat yearling market,
and if he decides that they are not,
they should be finished with coarse
feeds aPd marketed later.
The deep, wide-bOdied, thick-fleshed
calf with short legs and an abundance
of quality as indicated by fineness of
flesh, and general refinement about the
head and other parts of the body, is
the type best suited for making prime
baby beef. Uniformity in size, weight
and color should not be overlooked
either, because such factors are an ad-
vantage in marketing. These points
are of great Importance in selecting
calves that will make rapid gains and
return the most pounds of meat for
the amount of feed given them.
