LONDON PAPER FEARS
DEAD GOOSE IS DEMANDED
AS WELL AS GOLDEN EGGS

i London, May S.-The peace terms,
while receiving considerable approval
from the entire London press, do not es-
cape from sharp criticism on certain
points. Objections center mainly on
the question Of financial compensation
From Germany.
II The morning Post finds it difficult to
Because of the "complexity and intri-
cacy Of the terms"
4 The Daily Mail fears Great Britain
Eill find the terms very far short Of
the pledges made by Premier Lloyd
George. 1t adds:
IF the summary actually represents
the text, the provisions are good on the
Military and naval side, but dangerously
full of Ioopholes on the financial side"
The treaty is described by the Daily
Megran as being stern and stringent
tdxuout, saltho without a trace of the

brutal air of mere victorious force.
The treaty embodies the most severe
sentence ever passed upon great ma
ton. the Daily News says, and contin-
ues:
Germany is handcuffed and in irons
from top to toe. She appealed to force
and must take the consequences"
we demand" says the Daily News,
referring to financial terms. both the
golden eggs and the corpse of the goose
that would lay them. It is hardly an
exaggeration to say that Germany is first
stripped naked and is then told to turn
out her pockets"
The Herald, the labor organ, roundIy
denounced the whole treaty, saying.
!, There is no honor left for any Of us.
The league of nations is a body without
soul: President Wilson has been beat
en-. He forced public acceptance of his
nigh ideals on the other powers. but
they have beaten him secretly"

GUARD YOUR HORSES
AGAINST AZOTURIA

This is the season, says M. H.
Reynolds, of the veterinary divi-
sion at University Farm, when
the careful farmer should take
precautions against Azoturia.
This takes horses in good condi-
tion that have been working
rather regularly on full feed and
then on account Of storm or for
other reasons are laid off, even
for a day. The horse seems to
get stiff or lame in one. then per-
haps in both hind legs, loses con-
troll Of affected limbs and is un-
able to stand. He goes down,
the legs appearing to be more or
less paralyzed and the muscles
of the hind quarter and loin may
seem to swell and be very hard.
Most cases sweat profusely. The
urine is dark. Such case
should be gotten on to a stone
boat and hauled to shelter. A
competent veterinarian should
then be sent for. Such cases are
not for home treatment. Pre-
vent azotnria by exercising idle
horses and reducing feed.
