ITALIAN PALACES REoPENED.
Fine Old Structures Are Being Turned
Into Hospitals, Etc.

Rome, March 4.-The finest old palaces
in Italy are gradually being turned into
habitations again after centuries of dis
use, due to the need for soldier hospitals
and for shelter for the hundreds of
thousands of refugees from the invaded
provinces Part of the immense palace
at Caserta, built in 1852 for the king of
Naples, commonly known as the Yer
saiiles of Italy has been turned into a
barrack for Austrian prisoners. Two
years ago King Victor' Emanuel and
Queen Elena gave the huge royal palace
on the Qurnal Hill in Rome for use as
hospital, and lately they even gave
their own private apartments to refugee
children.
Among the buildings belonging to the
Catholic church loaned for the same pur
pose by order of Pope Benedict is the
monastery of St Anselm, on the Aven-
tine hill
The American Red Cross has recon-
mended the housing of refugees in spe
cially built huts as these palaces are UNI
fitted for the homes of poor or working
people.

Latest Fight Is Not Regard
ed By American Officers
as Victory

Washington. March i.--Military ex-
perts here believe that the German at
tack on the American troops in the sa-
lent north of Toul, in conjunction with
other recent signs, show that the Ger
man high command is preparing for a
real blow at the American line,
The fact that strong German raids also
have been attempted against the French,
the Portuguese and the British indicates
just such tactics as might he expected to
precede a more extensive offensive. These
raids, military experts say, constitute
feeling out process by the Germans, who
hope to ascertain weak spots for later
use
The last raid on the Americans is re-
garded as having been made for the pur-
pose of obtaining information and break
ing the morale of the American troops.
An attacking party of only 240 is ac-
cepted as a good indication of this pur-
pose.
Officers here are not inclined to de-
scribe the affair as an American victory
they are greatly pleased at the
pluck and efficiency which the American
troops have shown.
The German raid on the British was
effectively repulsed and the Portuguese
troops likewise gave an excellent ac-
count of themselves, according to reports
received here.

He Attacks Puritanism
Calls Upon Liberal-Minded
Persons to Join i'm Combat
ing Prohibition Wave

The spread of Bone Dry" pro-
hibition in the United States, de-
scribed by him as a manifesto
ton of the Puritan conscience,
was bitterly attacked yesterday
by the Rev. Joseph H. Mcmahon,
Phi. D., in an address under the
auspices of the Catholic Library
Association at Delmonico's. He
called upon liberal-minded per-
sons, especially the members of
the Catholic Church, to join in
combating the prohibition wave,
which he asserted even puts in
jeopardy the religious customs
and rites of his church.
Intolerance and fanaticism-
the essence of the Puritan con-
science, he said-were named as
the energizing force of the bone
dry" epidemic. This conscience,
he went on, moves and acts in
lines rather than curves,
is without a sense of fairness,
disregards We ted property
rights, refuses to recognize re-
igious rites and declines to COM
pine mercy with justice.
"Under the propelling in
fuence of this conscience the
nation is now engaged in at

FARM LABOR RELIEF NEEDED.
Senator Borah Says Program Should Be
Devised.

Washington, March 4.-Need for a
fixed plan to relieve the labor shortage
in agricultural districts caused by the
draft was urged Saturday in the Senate
debate. The uncertainty, Senator Borah
tldahol said, was lettering farmers from
putting in crops.
III these boys must be taken" said he,
then there ought to be labor program
devised To provide for filling their
places"
What is the government to do with
the men when they do draft them ?"
asked Senator McCumber North Da-
kotal. Il don't see any need OF drafting
any soldiers between now and next fall
With the present situation we can't put
100000 soldiers over in France in 1915"
Senator Smith tGeorgial said he had
been advised that the provost marshal
general would soon issue an order which
would relieve the farm labor situation.

An interesting illustration of the value
of feeding COW to her economical ca
pacity for production instead of feeding
a set amount of grain to all cows alike
was found in one herd. This man was
feeding in January 2Ra pounds of grain
| to all cows In February he fed accord
| ing to their production, feeding from
| three to six pounds daily. The result
was that his II cows produced AZ pounds
more butter fat in February than in
January for an increase of IS pounds Of
grain. The butter fat at 50 cents per
pound was worth S22,26. The grain at
So per 100 pounds cost 81 80. Not only
did he get this increase this month, but
his cows are capable Of making bigger
profit in the succeeding months due to
their larger milk flow The real increase
in profit is larger than these figures also,
because, under normal conditions, there
would have been shrinkage of 100 per
cent in the month One man who was
not feeding efficiently had a shrinkage of
90 per cent this same month.
