GERMAN ADVISES
HIS COUNTRYMEN
OF THEIR FAULTS
(By Associated Press)

BERLIN, Aug. 23.-The reason why
the whole world rose up against Prus-
sia and Germany and not against Eng
land is plain to everyone who had
observed the Prussian policy in Po-
land and the Prussian administration
in Alsace. asserts Professor F. W..
Forester, of the University of Munich,
writing in the Tageblatt.
England practiced much might to
be sure, but it has also given the
world much freedom and justice he
added. "She succeeded in reconciling
the Beers whereas we were unable in
forty years to regain the sympathies
of the Alsatians who are German to
the core. That speaks volumes"
'The isolation of Germany from
Hague conferences is irrefutable
proof in dominating circles that Ger
many is possessed Of different men
tality than the rest of the world"
He charges Germany with having
erred in the exchange Of the Versailles
notes on the question of guilt and
states that many one-sided accusa-
tions might have been combated more
if Germany had not again
endeavored to defend untemable po-
sitions with rank sophistries.

STILL TINE TO GULL FARM FLoCks

The month of September finds that most
or the poultrymen and a great many of
the farmers in the State have already
culled their hens. In the past few
years poultry raisers have found that
culling out their poor hens early has
resulted In more eggs laid. less feed
used and more money made.
II hocks have not already been culled
now is the time to do It, According to
the poultry department of the University
OF Vermont State Agricultural College.
the hens to Gull out are the ones that
first stopped laying The best hens are
the ones that are still laying. Where
small breeding flock can be cared for
1t is best to make up a pen of hens that
DO not stop laying until October November
or December. Such pen will improve
the laying quality of next years chicks
In culling now one should get rid OF
the birds that show by their deep-yelIow
legs. new glossy plumage. and thick,
blunt pelvic arches that they stopped
laying early in the summer. The hens
that are laying have full bright waxy
combs, soft pliable abdomen. and
bleachd out shanks. A ragged bird that
has just begun to mott should not be-
culled now just because she Is not lay
ing.

say in advance when the need Of amend
ment may arise. For this reason the
time-lock has no rightful place in the

years doesn't seem very lengthy or i'm

FREEING MEN WHO REFUSED WAR

Secretary Baker Of the war depart
rent has been showing signs of his I'M
bounding sympathy with pacifsts since
the war as well as during the conflict
and before. According to advices from
Washington he has now extended to men
flag clemency amounting almost to gen.
eral amnesty According to Secretary
Bakers own testimony only small
number of men who refused to do mil
itary service by reason of conscientious
scruples, and who We're sentenced to
varying terms of imprisonment for dis
obedience of military orders, remain in
prisons.
In many Of the cases Of DIRECTORS the
clemency board of the war department
recommended reduction in sentences. In
some OF these cases. and in many which
the clemency board did not consider, Sec
rotary Baker himself directed that the
remaining sentences be RENTED and the
men discharged.
THE conscientious objectors," Mr.. Ba-
ker said. have been considered by the
clemency board, and recomm endations
for reductions in their sentences have
been made. In some instances / have
% considered the cases. Through good be-
havior reductions in sentences have been
merited by the prisoners"
Secretary Baker intimated that the con-
scentious DIRECTORS given their freedom
were those whose refusal to bear arms
was based on religious reasons He said
those who were still confined We're class
cd as members of organizations that were
against war, or those who may turned
revolutionists in theory.

tent to which this policy would develop
