shores Of Spain. As soon as 1t be-
came evident that the purpose was a
reality and not bluff other European
powers put diplomatic pressure" on
Spain to end the war. The prospect OF
American guns awaking he echoes OF
European hills was not looked forward
to in 1898 with the eager pleasure that
1t was anticipated by some nations q
year and half ago. Spain did not
need much urging, and on July % the
Spanish minister Of state transmitted
through the French ambassador at
Washington letter 90 President Nc
Kinley asking for peace. This letter
reached the president on July 20, and
four days later the secretary of state.
Mr.. Day, replied. stating the terms
upon which an armistice would be con-
cluded. They were: The evacuation
of Cuba by Spain and the rellnquish-
ment of oil claims of sovereignty over
that island; the cesslon OF Porto Rico
and all other Spanish West Indian
islands to the United States; the ces-
sion to the United States of an island

United States, and the occupation By
the United States Of the city and bag
of Manila pending treaty Of peace
which should determine the disposition
Of the Philippines.
On August IL II. Jules Cambon, the
French ambassador, signed on behalf
Of Spain the protocol. or terms Of
armistice. In which were embodied not
only the demands stated but three 9TH
er articles providing for the method Of
evncuating Cuba and Porto Rico. Fight

peace delegates should meet Mt Paris

Office as secretary Of state in order TO
accept an appointment as first dele

Maine, and whitelaw Reid Of New

The principal stumbling block was

States could hardly 60 away and leave
them loose In the world. Is II were.
Other nations had envIous eyes on

to break of negotiations. The United
States made the eession Of the islands

already obtained by conquest, offered
Spain twenty million dollars II she

a profit maker for its owner. The live
stock are healthier and, in the case Of
the dairy farmer, are more productive.
At the same time It costs no more to
secure this extra production and the
profits that go with 1t.
With the costs of operating farm
as high as they are now and with the
prices of the foodstuffs for man and
beast that the farm produces at the
present level, savings In labor and pro-
lection of crops and live stock are
well worth considering. A ton of hay,
a bushel of wheat or corn, and the
health of the animals all mean money
nowadays, and are worthy Of being
housed In buildings that will protect
them from weather and rodents.
This is particularly true with regard
to the dairy herd. and the winters

ed barn Is essential to the prosperity
Of every farmer.

over both the litter alley, for the re

There are no posts in the NOV

all the space for the storage of rough

The big fight was on, but this time
Lord French found himself lacking
in the supporters who focked to his
standard in 1915. Every one was
against Mr.. Asquith at that time.
Led by the Northcliffe papers, "The
Daily Mail" and "The Times," the
British press pounded the Premier
and Lord Kitchener numerically.
This time their voices are almost
equally unanimous against Lord
French. Only "rhe Daily Mail" and
"The Times" remain true to their
first stand. They are still as bitterly
hostile to Mr.. Asquith and as strong
for Lord French, in this quarrel at
any rate, as ever. Both claim to
have overthrown the Asquith gov
ernment. "The Times" says
Lord French gave to our military
correspondent the information that
led to the downfall of Mr.. Asquith's
government and TO the formation of
the Ministry of Munitions What the

tion, the example of the French army,

''Remember the Lusitania ="
There was a good deal of wonder
over the limitation of the indictment
to Belgium and Luxembourg. The
British people thought the sinking of
the Lusitania and other acts of the
German submarines would be among
the counts preferred against the ex-
Kaiser. "Why should he not be in

against British subjects sailing in

asked. "The Times" explains:
