CONCESSIONS 10
 LUXbURG EN1TLE
 ARGENTINE PUBLIC
Leniency Towards Former German Ambassador By
 Government Opposed.

BeunOs Aires, January 22.-(Corres- On September 12 Count Karl von Lux burg, Imperial German Minister to the Argentine Republic, received his pass ports from the Argentine government, accompanied by note stating that the IntrOducer of Ambassadors had or ders to assist him in his immediate departure from the country. On Octo- Der 12 he was placed in German de tention camp on the island of Martin Garcia because he had left the capital without permission, apparently ignor- ing the governments orders that he leave the country.
 Recently he has been comfortably retisng in the German hospital under treatment for nervousness" and ap- parently has made up his mind to re main in the country. Argentine news papers have been insistently asking how much longer the government in tends to put up with his presence.
 The patience of the public was tried again few days ago by the granting of permission to von LuXburg to settle himself in quiet little cottage in one of the suburbs of Buenos Aires. Since obtaining this permission, however, von LuXburg apparently changed his mind and decided to remain in the hospital
 During the four months that have passed since the Argentine govern ment ordered von Luxburg out of the country because of his plotting, as o1, %o1o S,1l Washington, the former German min ister has been continually in the pub lie prints because of his determinatiok not to leave the country.
 In the last week the government | and the public became impatient and asked how much longer ven LuXburg was going to remain here and the di- rector of the hospital appeared at the foreign office to answer the query, saying that von LuXburg's mental and nervous condition had become such that he was violent at times and that it was necessary to place him in an asylum where he could be more close ly watched.
 A day or two later he asked per mission 10 take von Luxburg to a uuiet little home in the suburbs where he said he thought he could be cured The permission was siven and prepar- ations were made to move Huxnuro when he again changed his mind and notified the foreien office that he would remain in the hospital.
 All during his stay in the hosnital. there have been newspapers and pub lie men in Rrenos Aires who have ,nenlv stated that von T.uxhure's con lition was not as serious as represent ed and that he merelv was irving to avoid returning to Berlin. The press ,as demanded that the government make statement regardins it's poli- " toward von Irlyhrrg of whom the Argentine neople wish to rid them 'elves. but the statement has not been '

 The concentration of men and artillery on the British front as shown in official reports, demon strates that the Germans are maI- ing a deernlimed effort to smash the British Forty divisions, or about 100000 Teutonic troops, are in the fight.

Children Cry
FOR FLETcHER'S
G q 8 TO Fri u

Just as the river began to subside
at Harpers Ferry after the rise the
Potomac Pulp mill dam gave way, the
break being about 400 feet wide on
the West Virginia end of it, at the
flood gates where engineering skill
had apparently exhausted itself in
making the structure proof against
such disaster. 1t is crib dam, and
not an essential log or spike had been
left out, and had been riprapped with
stone. Mr. w. H. Slavery, of Will
mington, Delaware, the President of
the Pulp Companies, was there on
Tuesday, looking over the situation.
Work on repairing it, he stated, would
be started as soon as the weather con-
ditions would permit. The new con-
struction may be all substantial con-
crete work as one of the stockholders
expressed himself as being the thing
to do. In that case it will take more
than ten thousand dollars--estimate
for the repairs. The mill is running
but half its machines and when the
river falls to it's usual condition will
not be able to run at all most prob
ably. The electric lights that receive
power from the river is also much
crippled.

American Stock Raisers Cooperate
With Food Administration in Con-
servation Measures.

1t is probable that Europe for many
years after the war. will look to a
great extent to America for it's meat
supply.
Europe's herds are dwindling under
wars demands faster than they can be
replenished
When the German armies retired
from occupied portions of France and
Belgium approximately 100000 head
of cattle We're appropriated. This adj
dition virtually safeguarded Germany
from cattle shortage other nations now
suffer.
In England some 100000 acres of
grass lands have by compulsory meas
ures been forced into grain production,
thus reducing pasturage and hay lands.
A declining scale of maximum meat
prices for live cattle was ordained in
England, as follows: For September,
S17.76 per hundred pounds; October,
' SLIPS; November and December,
.$160S, and for January, S14.40 The
evident intent of this measure was 10
drive the beef animals into market as
soon as possible
According to official French figures,
the cattle of France have decreased to
a total of 12,341 900 as compared with
14,S07000 in 1913. Today, due to lack
of forage principally, France is pro-
ducing only one gallon of milk where
before the war two and one-half gal
Ions were produced.
Meantime the United States food adj
ministration has taken steps to con-
serve our fiocks and herds and to in
crease their numbers The stock breed
ers of this country show a disposition
to cooperate with the government in
this.
For many years it has been a prac-
tice among many of the dairy people
of this country to kill male calves at
birth and in many instances the fe-
males If not needed to replenish their
herds rather than go to the expense of
IudluTluS lHeln lHLO veal. lIle nlSn
prices of meat caused the virtual dis
continuance of this killing. Another
encouraging fact is rs per cent Of
calves killed for veal this year were
males.
Somebody has very aptly said that
the wars of the world have been won
with grease, meaning that bacon and
lard have been as essential to success
in war as powder, which is true.
The hogs of Europe have been very
greatly sacrificed to present day needs.
This makes the American burden all
the more heavy and makes doubly es-
sential an increased pork production
in this nation. In Italy grain is now
forbidden to be fed to hogs. In Den
mark under a recent order one-fourth
of the hogs were ordered to be killed.
1t is estimated that one-half have now
been killed.

A UNIQUE Record.

Home testimony for Doan's Kidney
Pills, published in every locality, is Of
itself convincing evidence of merit.
Confirmed testimony forms still
stronger evidence. Years ago, a citi-

is now confrmed-the proof more
convincing. Cases of this kind are

Governor COrnWeI Says VagTancy Law
is Not pTODeTIy Enforced.

The West Virginia idleness and
vagrancy law, passed at the last SEES
sion Of the legislature as war meas
IRE, is not being properly enforced, it
vas declared by Governor John j.

papers to help create public senti-
nnent to back up the statutes enforce
ment.
Declaring that the West Virginia
statute against idleness, the first in
the United States, is being adopted
in modified form by almost every
other state, Governor Cornwen says:
HSome benefit has been derived, con-
siderable benefit in fact but the law
is not being properly enforced.
II have prodded the officials in the
cities and towns time and again, often
to be only reminded that no one will
file complaint against the offenders
The law should and must be enforced
vigorously. And nothing but public
sentiment will bring about a proper
enforcement. | cannot create this
sentiment in favor of its enforcement
The newspapers can, Won't you help
| There are able bodied men idle all ovel
the state who will continue to be idle
unless the law is enforced.
With the advent of spring will come
the greatest demand for labor this

Sale Of Hens Forbidden.

Old Biddie, the faithful hen, was
banished from the markets on Mon
day, February 18th. 1t will be unlaw-
full to ship her or any of her sisters
to market until May l. The purpose
of the order was to increase the. sup
ply of eggs by conserving the supply
of egg producers during February,
March and April, the best egg months
of the year.
Dealers expect the Food Admins
tration to fix a price, probably BIC
or 40c dozen, for eggs during the
storage season. This will be 10c to
15c above the prices which prevailed
in March and April of last year.
During recent weeks hens have
been quoted half cent pound high
er than turkeys on city markets, a
very unusual thing. These high prices
have tempted many people to sell their
hens, especially those who had to buy
feed at present high prices.
AS result of the new order every
day will be henless day except fol
those who have focks of their own.
