Reading accounts of the occupation
Of German towns on the Rhine by
the allied armies one Is struck with
the uniformity OF the statements that
the towns are all In their normal con-
dition showing no signs Of the effects
of war. that the people are to all ap-
pearances comfortably fed. What a
contrast to the towns in northern
France and Belgium only few miles
beyond the border, where the heavy
hand of the Hun has worked destruc-
ton and devastation. OF course the
Germans cannot realize the full hor-
rors of war when they have escaped
invasion, and the hell of war that
accompanies invasion by armed
forces. Undoubtedly the reason that
they quit SO suddenly was the fear Of
invasion which was rapidly approach
ing the fathcrland. And it Is very
much to be regratted that the Ger
mans did not possess more sand so
that real war could have been brought
directly home TO them, with It's ac-
companying disaster, destruction aud
misery. Then fully realizing what
war means that country would hest
tate long in the future before rcec'2i-
tating another war. And WI. IN you
come to think about 1t where would
we be today il the French we're the
same kind of cutters? America
would be suffering some of the mic-
cry that has come to those regions
that the Huns overran when they
we're in the saddle.

Section 3 OF the espionage act. Eden

arrest was Independent of action taken
at a meeting of the Louisiana division

IMPORTANT POINT CONSIDERED
KEY TO SOUTHERN SIDE OF
YPRES SALIENT.
At TACK TO PECAPTURE It
Germans Have Made important Gains
at Other Points Along the Battle
Line.

KENNEL hill, a height which has
been looked upon as the key to the
southern side of the Ypres salient and
one Of the most important strategic
positions on the northern battle front
in France, has been taken by the Ger
man., after a defense which will be-
come. of the heroic chapters of the
war. The hill was surrounded and
the French forces entrenched on its
slopes were overcome.
The loss of the hill, which is ad-
mitted in an official statement by Gen.
eral Delma Radcliffe, chief director Of
military operations at the British war
office brings to the allies realiza-
ton that the whole Ypres position is
in peril from the German drive north
ward from the lowlands lying to the
west of Armentieres.
The Teutons launched terrific at
tacks along the whole Wytschaete-
Bailleul-Meteren line, apparently for
the purpose of finding point which
might yield They evidently found
that spot in the section Of front held
Jointly by the british and French
troops; and against it they hurled
fresh divisions which fought their way
forward all day until at nightfall they
had surrounded Kemmell hill and iso-
lated the French troops holding the
position.
The loss of KENNEL hill is serious
for it overlooks much of the lowlands
lying back of the allied lines in the
Ypres salient. The hill is 464 feet
in height, rising from lowlands on
the south and east. 1t six miles
southwest Of Ypres and three miles
west of Wytschaete.: This German
success cuts deep notch in the allied
line to the southwest Of Ypres and
completely outfanks the British on
the northern slopes Of Messines ridge,
% which they were forced two weeks
ago. The line to the southwest, to-
ward Bailleul, apparently is in no par
ticular danger at present, although

Shanghai Paper Says Country Has
Been Turned Over to the

Shanghai.-The' statement is made
in the first issue of The Shanghai
Gazette. which has made its appear
ance under the editorship of Eugene
Chen, that the Chinese government
has agreed to new demands made by
Japan which are of such a nature
that the country has virtually been
turned over to the Japanese. Inc
Gazette asserts it has been informed
by a high Official at Peking that the
Japanese demands are far more Sc
rious than those in Group V, of the
famous 21 demands made by Japan in
1915.
Notwithstanding the fact that the
utmost secrecy is being observed, y
says The Gazette, "it may be stated
safely that the following is not far
from the true terms of the agreement:
Chinese expeditionary forces sent
TO Siberia shall be commanded by a
Japanese.
Chinese police shall be organized
by Japanese officers.
Japan shall control all Of China's
arsenals and dockyards.
Japan shall have the privilege OF
working mines in all parts of China.
special privileges shall be granted
to Japan in outer and inner Mongolia
and the whole of Manchuria.
A dispatch filed in Peking April 4
said it was reported there that Japan
hada submitted new series OF de-
mands to China, including complete
control of China's finances, the pur-
chase Of SO per cent Of China's am
munition in Japan, operation OF Chi
nese iron mines and dockyards under
Japanese control and recognition or
special Japanese interests in Mongo-
liza, as in Manchuria.

number Of diseases, some of which
spread rapidly through the flock and
cause a high mortality. They may
also be infested by various kinds of
parasites, some of which live on the
surface of the body and others in the
crop, stomach or intestincs. These
parasites are injurious because they
take part of the nourishmcnt which
should be used by the bird to put on
flesh or to produce eggs, and also be-
cause by their movements and their
biting they cause irritation and in
flammation of the parts which they
attack. Germs and parasites which
cause disease should be kept out Of
flock by suitable preventive meas
ures, because disease may be avoided
much more easily and cheaply than it
can be cured. The aim in studying the
diseases Of poultry is, therefore, to
learn how to prevent such diseases
rather than how to cure them. Clean
illness is the first and most important
step in all measures for disease pre-
vetion.

In order to keep the flock in a

reasons for this. First, there are Ger

are scattered with the manure, and
which when they are permitted to ac-
cumulate and become very numerous,
may cause outbreaks of disease ;se-
