the Argentine Scandal and later thru
the Mexican revelations which have
shown us that a great deal of our
troubles with that country have been
caused by German propaganda, also
on the manner in which Russia has
Geen treated while they lay at the
mercy of the German Imperial Govern
ment. All in all the first thing we
had learned in this our first year in
war was that we had been sadly dis.
illusioned in the German Government.

he did these things replied L have

this our most trying time, and the
best way L can do this is to offer my

Word came from Washington yes
terday that the war department is
planning to call out a quota of draft
men from Hawaii for the National
Army. The figures of the draft are
now all in the provost marshal gen
erals Office, having been forwarded a
short time ago by Capt. II. Gooding
Field, selective draft officer for Ha
wall
Captain Field is in possession of no
information from Washington as to
what the draft call will be but when
ever it comes the number of men asked
for will be furnished without delay, as
every man in Class /, has been physi-
cally examined and qualified for serv-
ice, and the address of each of the
1853 men is correctly recorded.
1t is understood that the action of
the war department in planning to
call a quota from the Islands is in
response to the patriotic desires of the
people 1t is known that Delegate Ka-
lanianaole has been persistent in his
elfoAs to have Hawaii included in the
present call for quotas from the States.
Furthermore, it is understood at
Washington that the Delegate and
other territorial officials, have demand
ed that the credit for volunteer en-
listments in the army already made
from Hawaii be waived, and not be
considered any part of the man power
which Hawaii can still furnish.

REV. PALMER SPEAKS TO
ENTHUSIASTIC AUDIENCE
Over 1900 People Listen to String Address on What
We Have Learned From ''0ne Year at War"

To an audience which filled the
Annory to over flowing the Rev. A.
w. Palmer gave an address on what
we have learned from One Year at
War" at Lihue on Sunday afternoon
last.
This meeting was a celebration of
of the fact that Kauai had raised her
quota OF the Third Liberty Loan" and
that the Honor Flag" had been re-
ceived There is no doubt but that
Kauai will have the great honor of
TWO flags as the Loan quota is more
than doubly subscribed.
The Program
The program started with a prelim-
mary, music furnished by the Band
which was very ably rendered.
At three o'clock promptly the aud
ience rose and sang America" as one
person being directed by the Rev. A.
Akana from Honolulu. Then followed
Patriotic Exercises by the Hama
maulu School Children and a prayer
by William Hyde Rice.
beautifully rendered solo by Mrs
Willie Rice with the chorus sung by
the Lihue School Children was next
on the program.
A collection for the Red Cross of
Lihue Chapter was taken up at this
point and $217.40 was given by the
audience for that noble work
The Lihue School Children followed
with exercises and it was good indeed
to hear them say I'VE are American
citizens, we love our Country, our
Flag and our President, because they
are the best, the greatest and the most
noble on earth"
Address by Rev. Palmer
Then came one of the most inter
esting addresses that we have heard
for some time by Rev. A. w. Palmer
pastor of the Central Union Church
of Honolulu. dealing with what we
have learned from One Year at War.

pared with 1877 eggs from the beef
scrap pens, and S4 compared with SO
in their second year. The eggs of the
no-beef-scrap pens cost about 90
cents per dozen more to produce the
first laying year, but these costs were
about equal during the second year.
The fowls not fed beef scrap laid
very poorly in winter, thus materially
reducing the value of their eggs.
Cottonseed meal used in place of
beef scrap as high-protein feed in
the ration produced brown or green
ish spots on the yolks of the eggs,
especially in warm weather, making
a considerable proportion of them un-
fit for market. Eggs were produced
more cheaply and at a considerably
greater profit on the beef-scrap ra-
ton.
Fish Meal as Source of Protein.
Fish meal at 81 a ton less than

JOSEPHINE COUNTY
CHROME FOR NATION

Salem, Feb. 27.-Declaring that
there is enough chrome near Grants
Pass to meet the requirements of the
government during the war, o. s.
Blanchard Of Grants Pass has ap-
pealed to the public service commits
sion for aid in getting cars to trans
port this mineral product to mar
ket.
Chrome is used in the manufacture
of armor plate, projectiles and the
like, and the government is said to be
securing the country for this product,
while thousands of tons are imported
from New Caledonia.
Frank ]. Miller chairman of the
public service commission, said the
commission will at once take the mat
ter up with Director General McAdoo
and see if the government will not
become sufficiently interested to pro-
vide cars for hauling this product
from the Josephine county mines.

there is sufficient chrome adjacent to

ate an average in one year about 1.3
pounds of oyster shell and or of a
pound of grit, which together cost
about cent per hen.
The Leghorns did not lay as we'll in
the winter as the general purpose
breeds, especially during their second
year, but the Leghorns produced eggs
about cents per dozen cheaper dur
ing their first year, GA cents cheaper
in their second year and 9.S cents
cheaper in their third year than the
general purpose breeds. One pen of
Leghorn pullets produced eggs in
their first year at feed cost of 6.7
cents per dozen, while the value of
the eggs per hen for the year was
SS.41 over cost of feed.
Weight of Eggs.
The average weight of dozen
eggs from the general purpose fowls
during their pullet year was 1853
pounds, LEO during their second year
and 1853 during their third laying
year. The eggs from the Leghorns
averaged Las pounds during their
pullet year and 1.49 during their sec
ond and third years.
The egg production of the general
purpose fowls decreased 32 per cent
in their second laying year. The de-
crease was considerably less in the
Leghorns, their two-year average egg
production exceeding that of the gen.
eral purpose breeds by 10 eggs. The
decrease in production from he Sec
md to the third year was only 4 per
cent with the Leghorns, compared
With 13 per cent in the general pur-
pose breeds.
The cheapest eggs are produced in |
he spring-during April, May and |
|une-while the greatest cost occurs
n October, November and December. |
The lowest monthly feed cost of
lozen eggs in any of these expert
nents was 4 cents, while in some
ases no eggs at all were produced

was devastated. Contributions of war
imposed on the towns and innumerable
acquisitions in kind had exhausted her.
The greater part of the factories were
idle and in those which were still ut
work, raw materials were. contrary to
all law, being freely Communicated.
ut was on this impoverished Bel
GUM, living on foreign charity, that
contribution OF nearly 5OO,0OO,0OO
francs was imposed"
The German military rules have also
made the families responsible for acts
committed by Or-charged against men,
bers as is shown in the following ex-
amples, which are quoted from the
appeal TO Truth, cited above:
"The Belgian government have sent
orders to rejoin the army TO the mi
litiamen of several classes. All
those who receive these orders are
strictly forbidden to act upon them.
In case of dis0bedience the
family of the militlaman will be held

Punishment without Mercy"
The commander IN chief of the Ger
man army in Belgium posted a procla-
nation declaring:
"The villages where acts of hostility
shall be committed by the inhabitants
against our troops will be burned.
"For all destruction of roads, rail-
ways, bridges, etc, the villages in the
nelghbOrhOOd of the destruction will
be held responsible.
"The punishments announced above
will be carried out severely and with
out mercy. The whole community
will be held responsible. Hostages
will be taken In large numbers. The
heaviest war taxes will be levied"
At the end Of the appeal to Truth"
Cardinal Mercier says:
'But we cannot say all here, nor
quote all.
'If, however, our readers wish for |
the proof of the accusations Il
we shall be glad to furnish them.
There Is not in our letter nor in the

fish meal did not in any way affect
the flavor or quality of the eggs.

considerably greater egg yield than
those confined to a fair-sized yard.
This difference was less marked in

Feed Cost of Egg Production" the
specialists describe in detail this test.
which was undertaken to compare the
costs of various rations fed under
general farm conditions. Much in
formation relating to feeding under
the various conditions also was learn
ed in the experiment.
Test Included 368 Fowls.
Starting with six pens of 80 pullets
each, the test was enlarged to include
l6 pens containing 366 fowls. Most
OF the pens were made up of 80
standardized pullets, bred and rear
ed under the same conditions and Sc
lected for yigor, standard shape and
color. Some flocks. consisted of fowls
Of one breed, while others contained
more than one kind of pure-bred
fowls of the general purpose tyne.
Pens of cross-bred pullets also were
used.
With the exception of three flocks
which were confined to good-sized
yards, all the fowls were allowed free
range over several acres of rough
land. Detailed records were kept of
the feed used, the weight of the eggs.
and careful observations were made
of the conditions which affect egg
production. such as molting and
broodiness. The test was conducted
on the experiment farm of the Bu-
reau of Animal Industry at Beltsville,
Md. Summarizing the results of the |
tests, the specialists draw these con-
clusions:
Average Egg Yields,
The average egg yield for the first |
laying year in all pens was 131 eggs, |
and the highest pen average yield was |
1875 eggs. In the second year the |
average egg yield of all pens was |
92.7 eggs, which decreased to 1872 |
eggs in the third laying year.
The average value of eggs over feed /
cost the first laying year was s2.56
per hen, falling to s1.41 the second
year. and to sO.79 the third year.
The highest average value in any pen
was $3.41.
The general purpose fowls con-
sumed annually 70 pounds of feed,
which cost sl.iS, while the Leghorns
ate 55 pounds, which cost 81 cents.
Good results were obtained with
rations both with and without oats.
The use Of this grain added variety to
the ration without increasing the
cost.

is no reason for Encouragement.
THE enormous task which the Brit
ish army has performed and still is
performing may be shown by q few fig

Germans thus far have engaged 2S
