GLAD COLONIES ARE FREED
Native Chiefs in Former German Pos
sessions Hope They Will Remain
Under British Rule.

London.-German cruelty exercised
toward the natives of her former col
onies is outlined in the statements OF
native chiefs in the Samoan islands,
the Kameruns, Togoland, Southwest
Africa, and East Africa, in white
book published by the colonial office
The statements show that the natives
everywhere hope to remain under Brit
iSh rule.
In few cases the chiefs said they
were afraid to say anything lest theif
land be restored to the Germans, who
had threatened them with what they
would do when the war was over. This
fear, however, failed to prevent vir
tually unanimous appeal for retention
of the British flag.
The horrors of the German rule In
Southwest Africa, the white book says,
already are too well known to require
repetition, but the same system OF
tyranny was found in other German
colonies in greater or less degree.
The burden running through all the
statements of the natives Of Togoland
and the KaIheruns is "fogging, fog
ging, fogging," especially in connec
ton with forced labor on plantations

PORTER PLEASED WITH

LATAH COUNTY SENATOR COM
PLIMENTS CO-WORKERS- SAFE
AND SANE LEGISLATURES

Senator e. w. Porter was in the
city yesterday from Juliaetta on bust
ness, it being his first visit to Mos
COW since the close of the legislative
session at Boise. To a Star Mirror
representative he stated that the ses-
sion of the legislature was for the
most part a satisfactory one. The
greatest thing accomplished, he be-
lievs, was the killing of some 300 pro-
posed laws, out of about 500 introduce
ed. There were the usual number of
freak measures introduced, a few of
which would perhaps. have been a
menace. and the majority simply serve
to clutter the statute books. The
principal constructive laws enacted

PANCAKES IN OSTEND
Correspondents Get First Made
There In Four Years.
Hotel Manager Tells of Sufferincs at
the Hands of the Ger
mans.

American Press Headquarters, Brit
ish Front.-The first pancakes made
in Ostend in four years were served
the other day at the Crown hotel. But
the American correspondents got them
under false pretenses.
They had had very good lunch of
vegetable soup, roast beef, Drowned
potatoes and peas.
"What have you for desserts" was
asked the exceedingly attentive wait
ress. Her face fell. "There is moth
ing, messieurs," she said plaintively.
mo fruit, no sweet"
In moment she was back with the
manager, who had been lowering near
the door.
"The manager and the chef will be
hapnJ to make you pancakes" she an.
nOunced delightedly. "We got some
milk and flour from the British ships
today, and are able to make pancakes
for the first time in four years." Then
she added solemnly: "The manager
and the chef will do it, because you
are English"
Whoever cooked the pancakes mad
lost no mastery of the art in four
years. The American correspondents
were served four pancake master
pieces each sprinkled with sugar.
They were so good that we had no
qualms later when we were told that
the roast beef of Ostend was really
roast horse.
The Grown hotel, Ostend's finest,
had suffered at the hands of the Ger
mans. The manager showed us
through two floors, pointing out where
wall ornaments, chandeliers and ev-
erything of copper had been torn off.
All wool had been plucked from the
mattresses Nine thousand bottles of
wine had been carted away. But the
hotel had receipts for everything
stolen!
Nor was this all. The hotel was
set apart for German officers, and it
had been great trial to endure the
tyrannical mood of most of them.

TAKING CARE OF
sow AND LITTER
Sufficient Protection Must Be
Provided During Months of
March and April.
GIVE STRAW FOR warm BED
After Pigs Arrive Nothing Should Be
Given but Supply of Clean Water
Feed Moderately for the
First Few Days.

prepared by the United States Depart
ment Of Agriculture.)
Many farmers have their sows far
row during the months Of March and
April and the early fall months In the
South. Since the weather is often Sc
we're in northern sections during March
and April, care should be taken to pro-
tect the sow from cold. Give her
enough straw to make warm bed, but
not SO much as to allow the little pigs
to get covered and crushed. The sow
should have clean water but nothing
else for the first "a hours after the
pigs arrive.
Feed for First Week.
On the second day thin bran mash
or skim milk will be relished. Feed
moderately for the first week. A mix
ture of two parts of corn and one of
middlings may be fed in increasing
amounts until the sow is eating full
feed. If skim milk can be fed in ad-
dition to the grain, there is nothing
better to make the sow give full
flow of milk. Another good grain mix
ture for the sow at this time is six
parts of corn and one Of oil meal. If
skim milk is available, the sow will
do well on four pounds of milk to one
of corn. A full grain ration for day
should never be more than four per
cent of the sow's live weight. If the
SOW can be put on alfalfa, clover, blue
grass, or rape pasture, less corn will
be required. A corn ration of about
two per cent of the sow's live weight
with good pasture makes a cheap and
adequate supply.
Care of Young Pigs.
As soon as the little pigs begin to
eat they will do best if fed additional
slop in a separate pen and away from
their mother and the larger pigs. This
can be done by having pen or a
lot where choice clover or other for.
age crop is growing to which the pigs
may have access, but where the open
ing is so small that the larger pigs
cannot pass through. When the young
pigs are from eight to ten weeks old
they should be weaned. This often
causes serious check in theiI
growth, but should not do so. When

on the bridge gave first.
Through his binoculars he could sec
the submarine coming to the surface.
Even now the ,Cerrance's stern gun
was peppering away shots, but falling
short of the mark by 1900 yards.
In half q minute more the subma-
rlne's coming tower opened and men
crawled out and uncovered the subma-
rine's two guns. In another minute the
first shell came whining toward the
Torrance. 1t, too, fell away short.
Call for Help.
In the radio room the operator was
pounding out the call for help, and
now came the answer that the destroy
ers were coming to aid. Down below
the whole engine force was working
madly. Suddenly a miracle happened
and the starboard engines began sup
plying power to the propeller. From
a bare seven knots the ship jumped
to ten-then eleven, twelve.
Meantime on the bridge the officers
with gas masks strapped at alert po-
sition were getting the thrill of their
whole life as tile old boat picked up
speed. Sub shells now were falling
within 800 yards Of the ship.
With the Terrance's new speed the
sub gained slowly, but the skipper
and officers knew Its guns would out
range their own and soon find marx.
1t was a great race with life or death
for the goal.
Then from the edge of the world
came the smoke of destroyers shoot
ing ahead like flaming arrows. Thirty
knots and more they were making. In
another minute they could trace their
outline. But the sub was nearing, too.
One shell ioke less than thirty yards
away.
( Seconds seemed like hours, but each
brought the rescuing destroyers near

There was one more shot, then the
gunners ran to the coming tower and
climbed inside. Two minutes later

The first ten days Of the trip were
