The average city family will, per.
haps, do best by keeping hens for eggs
alone, but a considerable degree Of
success can be attained in breeding
poultry in back yards and in many
instances it may be desirable. =
BY breeding poultry is meant mat.
ing a male and one or more females to
reproduce the parent type; Matching
the young, and so rearing them that
they will attain the full development
Of good typical specimens Of their
race. In a small way this can be done
in quite a limited space. 1t is more
difficult than keeping u small flock Of
hens for eggs for the table, or growing
a few chickens for the table in the
same space, but with regular attention
and good care very satisfactory re-
suits r obtained. Good work under
adverse conditions often gives better
results than poor work under good
conditions.
The smallest breeding pen for work
on this scale and with only one mat
ing should have q male and two fe-
males. With two hens, the pen will
provide eggs for Matching ut the rate
Of a sitting every week or ten days,
thus making it possible to set all eggs
while the germs are strong. If a small
flock is kept also for eggs for the
table, hens from that flock may be
used to hatch and brood the chickens.
If the laying hens lay eggs Of a DIFF.

breeding hens, all may be kept togeth.

many eggs while fed us breeders

secured.

 INTO ARMY WORK
Republican A. p. Leased Wire1

PARIS, Jan. 5.-Major Grayson M. P. Murphy of New York has resigned as head of the American Red Cross mis- sion to Europe, it was announced to- day. Major Murphy will go to the United States to consult with Henry P. Davidson, chairman of the American Red Cross war council and later will return to service in the American army.
 Major Murphy's intention to resign has been an open secret for many weeks, its presentation having been de- layed by his recent work for the Red Cross in Italy. The newspapers edi- torially regret his departure. but speak of him as a distinguished man who leaves his present work only to serve the cause of the allies in another field.
 Elliott Wadsworth, vice chairman of the Red Cross central committee here said tonight it was agreed when Major Murphy took up the commissions work in France that he would be relieved at his pleasure to join the American ar my. Major Murphy is a graduate of West Point and served in the army be- fore resigning to go into business in New York
 Major Perkins went to Europe with the commission early last June and has actively assisted Major Murphy in the direction of work.

the central powers as definitely bind ing the entente allies or even Great Britain to literal acceptance of his war aims as the basis of peace. They might, however, be properly regarded as a tentative outline of British and probably entente allied aims as the ground work upon which peace nego- tiations might be founded.
 One inference drawn from the pre- mier's address was that he still hopes that the German negotiators at Brest- Litovsk can be baked in their efforts to force humiliating peace upon Rus sia, and in that connection it was re- called that hints had been given in semi official organs of a willingness of the entente powers to recognize the Bolsheviki government if it acted fair ly towards the nations fighting Ger many. It also was regarded as pos sible that the address might suffice to meet the demand of Leon TrotZky for statement of the entente war aims within ten day period just about to elapse without actually committing the powers too definitely.

DOUGLAS, AriZ., Jan. 5.-The two American army officers whose seizure Friday afternoon resulted in a fight between United States cavalrymen in which two of the latter were killed, one wounded and three taken prisoner, were captured on American soil, ac- cording to an announcement today by Colonel George H. Morgan, Arizona district commander, who ordered an investigation immediately after learn ing of the affair
 ''The incident is closed so far as I am concerned the colonel said. Tt developed today that there had been frequent sniping by Mexican patrols at our men in the vicinity of the place where the fighting took place, but did not know of this until today. think the precipitate action of the sol- diers in crossing the line to rescue their officers, who had been seized on United States soil partly was due to the enmity the MeXicans have shown toward them. It is a regrettable affair and there is no prospect of repeti- tion or any further local difficulty over it.'
 According to the report of the con- mander the cavalry troop had left Douglas Friday for a practice march, most of the members being recruits, and at noon had camped in the vicinity of the Slaughter ranch, IS miles east of here. Several hunting parties were formed, among them being one con- posed of Captain David H. Blakelock and Lieutenant George J. Lind. When the officers were within approximate ly 200 yards of the international line and headed east they suddenly were covered by the guns Of four armed Mexicans, commanded to halt and in | formed they were prisoners.

 WASHINGTON, Jan. 5.-Institu- tion of the one delivery a day sys- tenn by Washington merchants and the utilization of their wagons and trucks to clear up congestion at freight terminals, was said today to be preliminary to nation wide movement to speed up the unload ing of freight, if the plan here proved successful.
 A w Shaw. chairman of the Commercial Economy board, and Hale Holden, one of the advisers Of Director General McAdoo, are re- sponsible for the adoption of the plan in Washington, and if it proves of value, MT. Holden will recommend to Director General of Railroads Me Adoo that blanket extension be made to every city.
 Voluntary agreement is expected but it has been suggested that such a plan might be enforced by drastic curtailment of the time allowed fol unloading freight. It is probable that merchants will be notified ir advance when to expect shipments to arrive, and that they will be eX- pected to clear the cars within 24 hours or less. This would effect { substantial increase in the car sup ply. Railroad men are understood tC regard the plan with high approval

 BLAME FUR SHORTAGE
TRepubIican A. p. Leased Wiral

WASHINGTON, Jan. 5.-Responsi- bility for shortages of army clothing was placed upon the supplies com mittee of the council of national de- fense today by Colonel Elmer Linds- ley, quartermaster's agent at Phila- delphia, testifying at the senate com mjttee's war inquiry. Another wit ness, William Bianchi, New York dealer. who has purchased cloth for foreign armies. charged that an un- necessary wool shortage scare" was created to increase the use of wool shoddy, ordered for army garments by the supplies committee
 Colonel Lindsley contradicted the recent testimony of Vice Chairman Eisenman of the supplies committee, that the committee had secured an abundance of cloth for army needs. He said there now is a shortage of 1,000,000 yards of cloth and that the supplies committee system was re- sponsiblc for delays and friction.
 Garment manufacturers. the wit ness declared are without sufficient cloth to keep their factories working to capacity. and in that connection he said that "haggling" by the com mittee with the American Woolen company last summer over prices had caused a loss to the government of three million yards of cloth, many looms being idle for two or three months. Strikes of garment makers also have caused some delay, he said.
 Bianchi said the wool shortage scare as he termed it, was in tho l lntarnct nf f. otr oF r1 1, 1 garments. Many American clott | nNkers. he testified, do not hay, factories equipped to make all woo garments, and therefore eould no have shared in the war contracts i shoddy had not been approved fol army clothing.

OR|ENTALS T0 END
 LABOR TROUBLES
Republican A. p. Leased Wire1

CHICAGO. Jan. 5.-A plea to solve the labor problem of the United States by the importation of Orientals was made here tonight in an address by Ebert H. Gary, chairman of the board of the United States Steel corporation at dinner given by the Commercial Club.
 MT. Gary, whose subject was "Busi- ness During and After the War" said that Germany was stronger than ever and that he subscribed the opinion of an eastern newspaper that it would be Wholesome for every American busi- ness man to place over his desk the words. Germany is winning the war"
 Not that Mir. Gary thinks the words will always remain true. He thought that two or three more years would bring victory for democracy over au- tocracy-mayhap sooner, but mean while he insisted that even optimists like himself should unblinkingly face the fact that so far the fruits of vic tory belong to the central powers. In touching on the labor problem he said :
 ITO the extent needed the United States should immediately under prop CT conditions and reasonable restric- tions, draw from the islands of the sea and from oriental countries enough men, including soldiers and sailors to meet every emergency. There would be no difficulty in obtaining within a short period, large numbers of strong healthy, intelligent loyal men for civil l or even military duty, and the number i could be increased from time to time as required. All who are acquainted with the facts know that we need more men and that we can get them if w, are so disposed. If legislation is re, quired congress should act withou delay"
 MT. Gary said that although the pic ture of German strength which h, drew was shocking, it was not exagger ated and he added:
 There will be more healthy ant skilful soldiers, even more competen officers, bigger and more destructiv, cannon, submarines and aircraft ant safer entrenchment."
 Germany the speaker emphasized 'is not idle nor dilatory.
 Not only has Germany mobilize, and coordinated every last item of he resources of brain and material fo winning the war, but MT. Gary said "the Prussians have perfected a cen tralized comprehensive business or ganizations which considering it's sig and ramifications has never befor been approached"
 The speaker then took the after tn war" phrase of his address in which h urged that American business me should prepare for unprecedented com petition for world business.

Germans Make Attack

LONDON, Jan. 5.-The Germans early this morning made a strong local attack against British positions in the Hindenburg line east of Bulle- court, in the Cambrai sector, but only a small party of the enemy sue ceeded in occupying an advance Sap according to the war office report tonight. On the remainder of the front the Germans were repulsed be- fore reaching the British positions and suffered losses.

 Tt is assumed that Earl Reading, lord chief justice of England, ac- oepting the office in the public in torest and at considerable personal sacrifice. will be the new ambassador to the United States.

WASHINGTON Jan. 5.-Premier Lloyd Georges address to the British trades unions today on Great Bitain's war aims created a profound impress sion in official circles in Washington. Comment on it, however, was with held until officials could give it thor ough study.
 That the address was not unexpected was plain. The growing anxiety exhib- tied by the entente chancellories since the beginning of the Brest-Litovsk peace conferences and the openly ex- pressed belief that some steps must be taken to counteract the insidious at tempts of the German delegates to mis- represent the aims of their enemies had convinced Washington officials that there soon must come from some au- thoritative source a clear, outspoken declaration of the real position of the powers fighting Germany.
 Although it has all the force of an official declaration, it was pointed out here that Mir Lloyd Georges speech after all could not be seized upon by

Jan. 5.-(By the Asso- ciated Press)-United States aviators have flown over the German battle lines ard dropped bombs. in con- junction with British and French pilots. The flight of the Americans virtually was a reprisal for the kill ing of two American wood cutters during a German bombing eXpedi- ton a week ago.
 Through the courtesy of the Brit ish and French flying authorities, the American aviators also have taken part in observation and photo graphic work. It is not thought ad- visable to name the places where the Americans flew on the bombing expedition, but it was well beyond the German air defense lines at the front.
