HUNS PLAN DESTRUCTION OF

Plots to Blow Up Ships on Pacific
Coast Frustrated.

San Francisco, Jan. 1o.-That the
German government had completed
plans for the wholesale destruction
OF emergency fleet ships and sh p
yards on the Pacific coast and the
reign of destruction was to begin the
latter part of this month, was learned
today when Collector OF the Port
John O. Davis called naval officers,
customs men and secret service
agents into conference to formulate
plans for the protection of war indus-
tries.
Federal officials are said to have
had this information in their posses
sion several days and while every eff
fort has been made to round tip Ger
man agents believed to be entrusted
with the destructive work, increased
guards at all threatened plants were
determined upon today. .
Warning of the threatened plot was
sent to Portland and Seattle by
United States Treasury Agent It'd
well. The first move to thwart the
carrying out of the plot has been the
ordering of extra guards at all ship
yards and the placing of two watches
composed Of three United States
blue Jackets each on every vessel of

port. Orders were issued today pro-
hitting any person to leave or board

MUST NOT HANDICAP PRESIDENT.

For Congress to override the
wishes of the President at this time
and saddle upon him a so-called war
cabinet, against his wishes, would be
a grievous error
For the past nine months, since the
declaration of war, the men who have
heen conducting our war prepara-
tions have been studying their jobs
and learning in that most trying and
efficient OF all schools, that ~of ex-
periencc. They have profited by
their OWL human errors and no mis-
lake has been made twice, and the
knowledge thus gained in the early
days of Our preparation have given
them an insight into the basic ncces-
sites OF the work which constantly
multiplies their efficiency many
times over
TO dcposc these men and replace
them with individuals who must begin
at the beginning to learn the null
tudinous details OF their task, men
who. being human, must, regardless
OF their capabilities, make mistakes,
and possibly fatal ones, would be L
greater act OF folly than even the
traducers Of the President have at
tempted to charge him with.
Penetrating congressional investi-
cations. have failed to substantiate
charges of incficiency. Our Allie,
approve our preparations and our
policies, and Mr.. Wilson. who alone
must bear the responsibility Of our
conduct OF the war has told the Amer
lean people that the war and navy de-
partments are highly efficient
Congress has before it duties vastly
more important than interfering with
he President, and efficiency in leg
islation is as much to be desired as
in administration.

RIGHT MANAGEMENT OF COLT
Practical Suggestions for Feeding and
Care During Early Life-How
to Promote Growth.

(From the United States Department of
Agriculture)
Colts should be housed in dry, SAM
tary quarters, which give fairly warm
protection from winds. Where sew
eral of the animals are kept togeth-
er it is important to make provision
for the weaker ones and see that they
are not driven away from their feed
by the stronger animals.
The quarters should be kept clean
and we'll bedded and occasionally
should be disinfected. Lice are to be
suspected when. the animals get to
rubbing and lose patches of hair.
Thorough washing with the proper
solutions of coal-tar disinfectants Will
kill lice. It costs money to feed lice,
consequently efforts should be made
to keep them down. The foals should
not stormy; it is harmful, however,
for them to remain out in a cold rain.
The foal should be taught to lead and
to stand tied during the first winter.
Feeds that will promote growth
should be supplied. Good, clean clover
hay is palatable and slightly laxative.
Timothy hay commonly is fed. Well
cured alfalfa hay free from dust is
one of the best roughages for growing,
out because of it's relatively high pro-
.ein content it generally is economical
10 supplement it with other roughage
Auch as timothy, mixed hay, or corn
fodder. Besides lending variety to
the ration such method of feeding
slfalfa would offset any likelihood Of
kidney or bowel Irregularities. Sheaf
oats can be used to advantage to sup
plement other rOughage. The animals
should not be allowed to gorge them
selves on dry feed. They should be
given only what they will clean up
readily, but at the same time enough
feed should be supplied. Oats, corn,
and peas, preferably fed ground, are
suitable grains. Bran, Oil meal, or
gluten feed will add protein and lend
variety. COttonseed meal should not
be fed to foals. Appropriate grain ra-

time the worms are full grown. The
worms feed at night and rest during

Parents of cutworms.
The parents of cutworms are gray
ish or brOwnish moths, or "millerS,"
which commonly occur at lights during
summer evenings. Each moth may lay
from POO to 500 eggs. either in masses
or singly, in fields covered with dense
vegetation, and hence the eggs are to
be found more often than elsewhere i'm
cultivated fields which have been in
grass or weeds the preceding fall.
The, eggs hatch in the fall, few weeks
after they are laid, usually during
September, and the young cutworms,
after feeding on grass and other veSe-
tation until cold weather, pass the
winter as partly grown caterpillars. If
an infested field is left to grass, no no
