WASHINGTON, Jan. 3. - Senator
Sherman, of Illinois, Republican, crit
cised in an address what he described
as the use of transatlantic cables for
transmission OF detailed reports Of
President Wilson's visit abroad, while
parents were anxiously endeavoring
with little success to obtain informa-
ton relative to the welfare Of their
sons now in the American army over
seas.

came the duty of the President to make
the seizure at once. But there was no
such seizure
No Seizure for Months
Not only was there not a prompt
seizure OF the cables after the author
ity to seize them had been granted
but weeks and months passed and
there was no seizure. Again there is
but one Inference. and that is that
there was no necessity for such a seiz-
ure. The allegations of the bill thus
ind direct support in the facts Judi
cially known to the court and to all
mankind
Not only were the cables not seized,
bat the telegraphs and telephones were
seized on August /, 1918. This ac-
ton, which embraced in one grant of
authority the telegraphs, telephones
and marine cables.
The government thus purported to
take possession and control of every
telephone in every shop and dwelling
where there was a telephone in tho
United States But at no time during
the actual conduct CT the was was
there an attempted seizure of the
cables.
End of the War
con November IL, 1918, TIE arms
tee was signed. It's conditions we're
most onerous. The signing of the
armistice had been preceded by frantic
efforts on the part of GERMANY to
start negotiations for peace. The con-
ditions were so we'll known through
out the country that the announcement
of the signing Of the armistice was
everywhere hailed not only as the end
ing of immediate hostiities, but as
the conclusion Of the actual war.
80 obvious was it that complete
victory had been attained and that we
were no longer in danger from the
forces OF our enemies that the Presi-
dent appeared IN Congress officially to
announce the signing Of the armsticc
and the inability of Germany again
to threaten ou~ security.
"Now, after Ave days had elapsed.

In discussing the question of com

gests revolving fund such as that

Of the railroads, adding that it would
have been comparatively simple to give
to the owners the earnings of their own

reads. 'that on no possible ground can
it be said that there has been just com

COMING EVENTS CAST THEIR

Students of the Bible during the
past few years, while the "sea and
the waves are roaring" have ex-
pressed their conviction that there
will be no peace until ~ return to
earth of the Prince OF Peace. These
expressions are Of sober-ninded men
everywhere. 1t is strange phe-
ncmenon that the same views are
being expressed throughout much, of
the world. DR.. William T. Ellis,
who Is seeking to interpret the con-
ditions in Turkey and Palestine as
the correspondent of the New York
Herald, in a recent dispatch to that
paper touched on the same thought
and said:
,..It was but few days ago that
the Sultan of Turkey, himself the
accepted spiritual head of 100000
600 Moslems throughout the world,

PEACE OR UTTER CHAOS

AS will be seen elsewhere in the
Gazette, a treaty of peace is ready
for Germany to sign or reject. In
cluded in that treaty-made basic
part of its a provision for an as
scciation of the nations for the en-
forcement of peace. Some gentle
men. in Washington would sever
this provision from the treaty and
leave the future dependent upon the
good faith Of Germany and the will
'ingness numerous countries to
accept without complaint the re-
mapping of Europe which the Coun-
Gil of our has deemed wise to make.
The Philadelphia Inquirer says in
Sh;s connection that "the world has
just passed through an experience
with Germany and her lack of con-
science. She was solcnnly pledged to
protect the neutrality of Belgium
and made a scrap of paper OF her
promises. 1t is useless to say that
she has changed. She has not
changed. Her ideals are the same.
Her dreadful philosophy that Might
makes Right is still her religion.

feeding in this manner is advisable
only during the period of cold wealth
er when the meat will keep we'll, or
during the summer season when
there are enough fowls in the house
to consume the rabbit in a short time
before the meat begins to decompose.
Good Use for Waste Rabbits.
Jack rabbits are so Objectionable
in some of the Southwestern farming
country that huge drives are organ
lied for the determination of the
pests. Hundreds of ranchers, farm
ers, and hunters will form a compact
line and traverse a rabbit-infested
territory, killing or driving away all
the rabbits which come in their path.
If the rabbit drive occurs during cold
weather q considerable number of
rabbits may be frozen and kept in
this condition for the use of the flock
throughout the winter season.
The carcasses can then be thawed
out and suspended in the poultry
house as suggested above, without
cleaning, or if desired, the meat can
be cooked and fed in this form to the
hens and pullets. This is valuable
use of rabbit meat, as ordinarily the
hundreds of thousands of carcesses
are wasted and allowed to decay on
the plains and cultivated fields
where the animals were killed.
Horse meat, also, makes a good
chicken feed. In some sections
where the sanitary laws do not pro-
hibit the feeding of horse meat to
fowls, extensive poultry raisers buy
old, WORKOUT Dobbins and slaughter
them and feed their meat to the
poultry This is done on a large
scale in parts of California. Oper-
ators report increased egg yields by
the hens as a consequence of the lib
eral use of meat in the ration. Sew

eral Arizona poultry farmers former
ly made q practice of feeding wild
burro meat TO their hens with as at
tractive and interesting results as
come from the feeding of horse meat.
These ranchers used to pay the In
dians bounties for rounding up wild
burroS in the mountainous country
and killing and Transporting the car
casses to the poultry plants.
Fish Make Good Feed.
Practically any kind of wild game
or varieties of fish which are not val
liable for human food purposes are
highly satisfactory in the poultry
dietary. Where fish are abundant it
ordinarily is the custom for the fish
ermen to throw back into the water
or else throw away any fish which
are not highly desirable for eating.
The use of these fish as feed for hens
would be quite ideal. and, appar-
emily, there is splendid opportunity
for some poultrymen to locate COM
mercial plants near popular public
fishing grounds. Some of the Long
Island duck farmers, who turn off as
many as 100000 ducklings a year,
make an annual practice of employ
ing fishermen especially to catch fish
to feed to the ducks. The fish usual
ly are boiled and supplied to the
ducks in a cooked condition, being
highly relished and particularly fat
tening.
On the average farm where poul-
try is kept as a side line, meat meal
and fish scraps are usually little
used in the ration because, as rule,
they are extremely expensive COM
pared with the other nutriments COM
monty furnished the fowls. Many
farmers make up for this deficiency
of protein in the ration by the liberal
feeding of skim milk. Others main
tain their hens on farm-grown grain

Meat and Fish for Fowls Will
Encourage Egg Production
Fish Meal Are in Sections
Game andy Product Sea Food Are Substituted

Beef scraps, fish meal, or other
poultry nutrients which are rich in
protein are essential to produce a
regular and dependable supply of
eggs. However, in some sections of
the country these materials are rare
~ available on account of the high
from production centers. Poultry
raisers in these localities have to
utilize substitutes. In many dis
tricts of the Southwest jack rabbits
Washington standard. [volume] (Olympia, Wash. Territory) 1860-1921, 1919-12-19

are used as valuable poultry feed.
Rabbits of this type are not desirable
as human food during certain sea-
sons of the year and, to many per-
sons, they are always Objectionable.
AS consequence, their use as a food
for hens is economic and efficient, as
otherwise the meat is usually wasted.
1t is desirable to remove the skin
from the jack rabbit, and suspend
the body by means of a cord or wire
in the poultry house. OF course,
