FIRMS USE UNFAIR METHODS
Federal Trade Commission Hears
Complaints Against Thirty-Eight
Big Concerns.

Washington, FEB. 26.-Complaints
charging unfair methods of cOmpeti-
ton were authorized on Monday by the
federal trade commission against 38
concerns, most of which are engaged in
the paint, soap, varnish and ink indus
tries.
Included in the number are the
Adams & Elting company, Chicago !;
the Frank w. Thurs+on Varnish COM
pany, Chicago; the Grand Rapids Var
nish company, Grand Rapids; the
O'Neill Oil and Paint company, Mil
waukee; the Grand Rapids Wood Fin
ishing company, Grand Rapids; the
Rockford Varnish company, Rockford.
III. These concerns have 80 days to
reply.
The complaint alleges that the con-
Germs stif1e and suppress competition
through '1avish entertainment of COM
petitors, secret payment Of money to
employees of customers, who might
otherwise buy goods from, competing
concerns, and, in one instance. with the
adulteration of competitors goods"

Won HERTLING HINTS
AT PEACE IN REICHSTAG
Chancellor Says Presidents Message
Is Step Forward, But Declares
Britain imperiaIistic.

Amsterdam, Feb. 26.-Speaking be-
fore the reichstag the imperial Ger
man chancellor, Count Won Hertling,
made this declaration:
81 can fundamentally agree with the
four principles which in President Will
sons view must be applied in mutual
exchange of views, and thus declare
with President Wilson that a general
peace can be discussed on such ba-
Sis.
"Only one reserve need be made In
this connection: These principles
must not only be proposed by the pres
ident of the United States, but also
must actually be recognized by all
states and peoples.
''But this goal has not yet been
reached. There is still no court Of ar
bitratfon established by all the nations
for the preservation of peace in the
name of justice.
"England'S war aims are still thor
oughly imperialistic, and she wants to
impose On the world peace according
to England's good pleasure.
IF a proposal came from the OPP
posing side-for example. from the
government in Havre-we should not
adopt an antagonistic attitude, even
though the discussion at first might
only be unbinding.
Meanwhile l readily admit that
President Wilson's message of Febru-
airy IL constitutes perhaps small step
toward a mutual rapprochement."

j. s. SEES TRICK
BY VON HERTL|NG
ChanceIIos Tries to Strengthen
War Party.
ATTEMPT TO FOOL PEOPLE
Washington Officials Think He Wants
to Discredt Wilson's Aims and
Cause Discord Among
the Allies.

Washington, Feb. 27.-German I'M
perial Chancellor Won, Hertling's
speech in the reichstag continuing the
discussion OF the war aims of the bel
ligerent powers has not changed the
situation, in the opinion of high Off
Gals here
Instead Of marking an advance to-
ward peace, it is regarded rather as
deliberately calculated to strengthen
the hands of the German militaristic
party by endeavOring to convince the
German proletariat of the impractical
BILE nature of President Wilson's aims
as disclosed in his most recent address
TO congress on February II.
While stating his readiness to ac-
cept the presidents four fundamental
principles for a basis of peace, Count
Won Hertling dismissed them as ideal
istic and unavoidable by insisting that
they must depend for their application
upon the realization of conditions
which cannot be met.
No Move for Peace.
the subject was irOnical and designed
for very different ends than the adj
vancement of peace.
There will be no immediate formal
comment upon this latest contribution
to the debate on war aims and peace
aspirations. Experience has taught Of
ficials that important qualifications
Are to be found usually in the full
text of the speeches of the spokesman
of the central powers.
Attention was directed by officials
to President Wilson's former charac-
terizatiOn of the German chancellOr'S
utterances as very vague and con-
fusing," and 1t was said that the pres
ident's comment had a peculiarly apt
application to the Hertling speech of
Monday.
Want to Create Discord.
Officials noted particularly Hert-
ling's reference to Ireland, India and
Egypt and regarded them as calcu-
lated to create discOrd between the en-
tente allies and continue deception
or the German people, VINO apparently
believe the military party is willing to
make peace without annexations and
indemnitieS.
Hertling's suggestion of a conference
Of the be1ligerents apparently meets
with no greater favor than heretofore,
and officials see not the slightest hope
of "round table discussion" in ad-
vance Of a complete acceptance by the
central powers of the broad principles
upon which the entente is willing to
consider peace terms.
Hertling's speech was carefully stud
led by President Wilson and state de-
partment officials. Intimations that
the president would make it the Occa-
sion for another address Immediately
found no official support.

PRIZE SHIP GOES AGROUND
Spanish Steamer Captured by Germans

Copenhagen. Feb. 27.-The Spanish

Only He Didn't Show II.

Edward got into fight with STAN
ley one afternoon at school recess. The
teacher had them up before her and
talked so feelingly of the wrong Of
fighting that Stanley cried good and
hard, and the teacher said: STANLEY
seems so repentant I won't keep him
after school. But here Is Edward;
don't know what to do with him, he
seems so hardened" Edward said !:
"But if I can't cry, my conscience

An isolated Island.
The last and most isolated of the
Polynesians is Easter island. 1t lies
1000 miles westward Of the coast of
Chile, it's nearest neighbor being Pit
cairn island, 1,400 miles further west.
It is small, only 45 square miles in
area, and volcanic, the surface being
formed of lava of comparatively re-
cent eruption. Hence the strange lack
of vegetation so curiOusly at vari-
ance with tropical climate. Grass
grows on it, however, and it Is for that
reason largely given up to the raising
of sheep and cattle.
Easter island was discovered nearly
two hundred years ago by the Dutch
Admiral ROggeveen, who cast anchor
there on an Easter Sunday, whence it
derived it's name. He found 1t more
largely populated than it is now. But
he and his crew must have seen and
marveled at its bold rOck-sculpture, its
terraces and walls, it's picture writ
ings Many of these, indeed, rival the
world-famous relics of Mexico and
Peru, while they are strangely akin to
them in conception and design.

disease is spread. 1t has been proven
beyond question, however, that infec-
ton may be established after concep-
ton and in advanced periods of ges-
tation. The part played by the sire
in spreading infection is, of course,
difficult to ascertain.
Aborting cows on pasture infect
the pasture to a greater or less eX-
tent, which, in case Of its being con-
sumed by other animals, in a short
time would be capable of establishing
infection.
We are supposed to have at our
command methods for the diagnosis
of this disease which is reliable. Mi
croscopic examination is to a certain
extent unreliable.
Immunization is the only possible
solution for the disease, and is at
present receiving great attention by
most all large stockmen of the U. S.
and Canada.
A competent treatment consists of
three injections, each containing 800
billion killed abortive bacilli, the in
lection should be given every preg-
nant animal in the herd at one week
intervals, and at any time up to the
seventh month. Immunization by this
method has been proven success.
