Premier Lloyd George Warns Next
Two Months Will Be Anxious
Onss-Lauds U. S. Work.

London, June 26.-Premier Lloyd
George announced on Monday that the
next couple of months would be
anxious ones. There might be a great
blow coming in the next few hours, he
said, and certainly in the next few
days, and on this blow the issue of
the campaign might depend.
The entente allies, he added. never
felt better prepared TO meet It.
The premier, who made his an
nouncement in the house of commons,
referred to the amazing organization
which was bringing American troops
to France.
Enough Americans" he added,
have arrived to satisfy the allies and
to dlsappolnt and ultimately defeat our
foes"
1t was possible that within a short
time the premier said. the allies would
be stronger than Germany.
Premier Lloyd George said the Aus
tro-Hungarians were In full retreat.
The question now was, he added,
whether they would be able to effect a
retreat.
Mr.. Lloyd George said that It would
be to the interest Of the British people
and also just and equitable. If Russia
wanted it, that Great Britain stand by
Russia.

Washington, June 26.-German sub
marines operating on this side of the
Atlantic ocean have sunk their first
troop ship. The navy department an
nounced on Monday that a British
transport, under charter by the Amerl-
can government and bound to this
country, had been destroyed June Is.
some 700 miles east of the Delaware
capes, and that 81 members of the
crew are missing. There were no
troops aboard.
The troop ship apparently was not
under convoy. The submarine was not
seen until torpedo had struck the
ship. Afterward the subm@-sible rose
to the surface and fired 10 shots into
the sinking vessel.
When the steamer settled the crew
took to the boats, the occupants of
four of which, numbering 81 men, have
been landed. Three boats are missing
and search is being made for them.
The vessel destroyed was said to
have been the former Russian steamer
Dwinsk.
OF the four boats from the steamer
accounted for two were found by a
steamer and their occupants taken to
New York, a third was picked up by
another steamer and the men taken TO
Hampton Roads, and the fourth by

undeveloped horns of the calves. To
obtain the best results, the caustic
should be applied when the calf is
from four to ten days old. Clip the.
hair from around the knobs where the
horns are developing. With a slightly
mOistened stick of caustic, rub each
horn alternately three or four times,
allowing it to dry each time before APP
plying the next. Extreme care should
be taken not to have the stick so wet
that the solution from it will run down
the side of the calf's head. To pre-
vent the spread of the caustic, which
will cause sores on the skin, apply
vaseline around the edge where the
hair has been clipped.
For older cattle, where the horns
have developed, either saws or clip
pers should be used. 1t is best to use
the clipper on the young animals when
the horns are still soft and tender,
but with older animals which have.
hard, brittle horns the saw should be
used. While the operation can be per-
formed with clippers quicker and with
less pain, this instrument is liable to
crush the bone in older animals, caus-
ing wound that heals very slowly.
Cattle should never be dehorned
during warm weather, spring being the
best time to perform the operation. If
delayed too long in the season, the
wound may become infested with
screw worms, and flies are very an
noying. Either coal tar or pine tar
applied to the wound will prevent fly
Injury. If screw worms appear in spite
Of all precautions, they may be re-
moved by saturating a piece of al
sorbent cotton in chlorOfOrm and In
sorting it into the wound, or by pour
ing gasoline into the horn cavities.
This kills the worms, which should
then be removed with a pair of for
ceps.
In order to make a clean cut and
avoid trouble in performing the opera
ton, the animals head should be
clapped or held in firm position. For
