PRINCES IN SPAT
over HUN Blow;
YOU KNOW RESULT
Willie Wanted Honor; So Did
Ruppiei But FoCh Got II,

PARIS, July 26-(Corrcspondence OF
the Associated Press IN feeling be-
tween the German crown prince and
Grown Prince Rupprccht had It's effect
on the German high command in be-
ginning the present offensive between
Scissors and Rheims which already
has turned into defeat for the armies
commanded by the heir to the Prussian
throne.
Willie Wanted Honor.
The German crown prince according
10 reports, strongly desired that his
armies should have the honor Of strik-
inc the flrN blow in the offensive OF
1913. The emperor is believed 10 have
lent a favorable ear 10 the wishes OF
his son and early indications were that
the German crown prince would have
another chance to reGeen his great
failure at Verdun
Crown Prince Rupprccht OF Bavaria,
whose command Is on the northern end
OF the battle line. however. laid his case
dircctlv before the high command in
stead Of before the emperor.
Ludendorn Favored, North.
As military prepara,ion. it was said
10 be the view OF General Laudendorfi
and his associates that the blow should
be struck in the north, and without TAX
ing into consideration the personal issue
between the two crown prices the high
command decided to attack in the north.
The emperor is said 10 have a"ented
rather reluctantly, while the German
crown prince maintained tha, the main
drive should be made fufther south
Decision having been made. the big
offensive opened in the north in March
and was given double check, first east
OF Amens and second east Of Haze
brouck. This failure gave the German
crown prince strong support for his
plea that the drive should be made
against the French lines and apparently
The high command gave its consent On
Nav y the German crown prince struck

Then Willie Is Baked.
His next effort to reach Paris BY
way OF the Moniididicr-N Noyon from

begun on July IS. was stopned after
three DAYS and at this writing the
Marine salient is slowly being wiped
out
II has been reported that Rupprecht
has been comoelled to send divisions to

thus probably adding to the bitterness
OF the pill of defeat which the German
crown prince is now having forced upon
him by General Foch.

DISEASES OF DAIRY CATTLE
Production Of Milk csn Be Materially
Increased by Preventing Many
Disorders.

prepared by the United States Depart.
ment Of Agriculture.)
In an effort to maintain or increase
our live stock supplies. the reduction
of the toll taken by disease should not
be overlooked. There are large num-
Der of diseases which are very COM
mon and which seriously affect the
dairy industry. Among these are con-
tagious abortion, tuberculosis, infec-
tious garget, cowpox, cattle-tick fever,
etc., which in the past have greatly
reduced the milk production Of our
herds.
Tradition has 1t that In remedying
these conditions the value of prevent
ing and combating disease is In the
ratio of 10 to 1 in other words, ian
ounce of prevention is worth a pound
of cure" As matter of fact this es-
innate is too low; probably 100 to !
would be much nearer the truth. In
spite Of this fact, however, preventive
measures are not SO well known or SO
effective that disease can always be
prevented.
In dealing with contagious diseases
the basic principle of prevention is to
keep carriers Of infection away from
the herd. Next in Importance is main
tanning the surroundings in a sanitary
condition. Following this. the animals
natural resistance to disease should be
increased by natural and occasionally
by artificial means. Ordinarily, dis
ease stalks about the country only in
the bodies of diseased animals or at
tached to some intermediate object

3. Cream too sweet. If ripened to
moderate acidity it will churn more
easily.
A. Churn too full. In order to OBJ
tain the maximum conclusion the
churn should not be more than one
third full.
5. Ropy fermentation of the cream
prevents conclusion. This may be
prevented by sterilizing all the uten-
sils and producing the milk and cream
under the most sanitary conditions. If
additional measures are needed, the
pasteurization of the cream, with sub
sequent protection from contamination,
and ripening 1t with a good starter
will be effective.
6. Individuality of the COW. The
only remedy Is to obtain cream from
a COW recently fresh, or cream that
is known to churn easily, and before
ripening mix it with the cream that is
difficult to churn.
z. The COW being far advanced in
the period of lactation. The effects
may be at least partially overcome by
adding, before ripening, some cream
from a COW that is not far advanced
In the period Of lactation.
8. Feeds that produce hard fat. Such
feeds are cottonseed meal and timo-
thy hay. Linseed meal, gluten feed,
and succulent feeds, such as silage
and roots tend to overcome the con-
ditiOn.

A newly arrived general stepped out
Of the staff car and was taken over"
by the guide. who was to lead him on
this particular part of his tour Of in

and very soon the guide made sign,
and whispered to the general to leave
the duck boards and come close In to
the hedge. The general was tail, and
he bent low to keep his head from
showing above the hedge.
Now and again the general whis-
pered a question, and the guide whls-
pered in reply. The former began to
feel a pain in the back through SO
long maintaining a bent position.

As an example Of liquor-users who
acknowledge the evils of drinking and
are helping to vote out the traffic is
the millionaire packer, Patrick Cud.
ahy. He is doing fine antiliquor edu-
cational work in his packing plant at
Cudahy, Wis. In an open letter pub
hshed In the Milwaukee Times he thus
describes some of the effects of a
worldwide prohibition as he sees
them:
IF some all-powerful person were
to appear at the present time on earth
and perform a miracle, changing all
the booze in the world back to water,
and issuing a decree that any person
who attempted to make another drop
OF 1t would be struck dead by an cleo
trio bolt from heaven, just imagine If
you can the change that would take
place in the world. say ninety days
after this event. See the red noses
changing to white; the fat beer bloats
shrinking to their natural size; the
man whom alcohol made a brute of.
returning to his normal condition; his
wife, whose life this alcohol brute sad
dened and almost destroyed, returning
to her normal condition; the wrinkles
and tear burrows In her face being
smoothed out; the color coming back
to her cheeks; her eyes becoming
bright again; her saddened and
wretched face becoming joyful and
happy.
I'm short, the home that alcohol
made wretched is now joyful and
happy.
"We also see the saloons changed
into places Of usefulness-some of
gthem ice cream and soda water par
lors.s A great many of them are used
for book stores, for the men who spent
their time in saloons are now reading
books.
1.-THE saloonkeepers themselves have
gone back to their trades and are now
useful citizens. And by doing away
with alcohol we do not need nearly
SO many policemen. About seventy
per cent of the policemen have been
discharged and are engaged in other
employment in the shops, and on the
farms, changed from idle men to USE
full producers. The prisons, such as
our house of correction, are changed
from prison to recreation halls. The
grounds about them are converted
into beautiful parks. People are now
saving the money formerly spent for
booze. Savings banks are springing up
all over the country. In short, the
drunkards and criminals of the world,
made so by alcohol, of all classes, are
now industrious people and living
happy lives. What glorious change,
If this could be brought about, and
it may be partially brought about some
time by prohibition"
Mr.. Cudahy confesses he drinks both
beer and whisky, yet seeing the evils
of intemperance he uses his influence
against the saloons in his own town.
A friend of his, Mr.. J. P. Benscher, in
a letter published by the same paper,
says:
81 am not a prohibitionist. I drink
beer, although / have never touched
whisky, but I have seen the misery
which it has created, and I shall do
everything within my power to wipe
out the thirty-eight bum factories
which we now have in Cudahy."
Many drinking men, rich and poor,
are taking the same attitude.

South African DYES.

What is considered to be an impor-
tant discovery has been made at Mar

dyer. who claims to have made dye
from waffle bark which will largely

dyes in South Africa. 1t is stated that
the discovery was made several years
ago by accident. and that subsequently
experiments have revealed that 81 DIFF
