pasture will supply is spring pigs
for the rest of the year. About 3.
pounds of grain fed per 100 pounds

Geneva, July 12.-Another cam paign has been undertaken along the Rhine in order to prevent allied bom- bardment of Rhine towns.
 The Landtag of the Duchy of Baden has been asked to pass a resolution re- questing the government of the grand duchy to exercise its influence with the imperial authorities to come to an arrangement with the belligerants to abandon on both sides the aerial bom- bardment of towns outside the zone of military operations. In speech in the Landtag in favor of the propo- sition Deputy Narun declared that aerial attacks on localities behind the front serve no military purpose and that only innocent women and chill dren suffer.
 In commenting on this new cam paign, the Lausanne Gazette declares that the Germans since the beginning of the war have bombarded London and Paris with zeppelins and airplanes many more than 100 times, wkile the allies, during three years for various reasons were unable to reply, but did not whine.

Von Hertling's Latest Speech Doesn't

 Amsterdam, July 14.-Commenting on the speech in the Reichstag last Thursday of Count von Hertling, the German imperial chancellor, the Tele graaf says:
 Tt is as if burglar says to the judge, will return part of my booty if you acquit me- The judges reply to such criminal would be the same as would be the entente's reply to Hert- ling.
 Chancellor von Hertling's declara tion really is another step backward, for he said nothing regarding the so- called independence of Flanders. Hert- ling's only object in putting out this declaration is to be able to say to his people:
 You see, we have done our ut most as regards concessions without avail. Can you still doubt that you are fighting for your very existence against foe who is determined to de- stroy us? sA
