Food Relief System and Credit for Raw Materials
 Essential to Economy
By Assooiated prss.


 New Aork, February 29.-The peo- ples or Europe have Host their nerve through the Reorganization of their political, industrial and religious gov ernments, and probably will not recover eqnillorium and strength until the united States has Q well-defined for elsil pohcy through which to aid them, m the opinion of Bishop William Burt Of the Methodist Episcopal area of Buff falos N Y., and Blshop William shep- ara or Wichita, Kan, wno arrived here today on the White Star Liner Cedric.
 Bishops Burt and Shepard went to Europe last November with a commit tee representing the Methodist Epis- ] coPal church in the United States for the purpose of making a religious and political survey of Europe and to dis tribute money collected by the church. Ihelr Itinerary included France. Ger. many, Austria, Hungary, Jugo- -Slavia Italy' switzerland and England. With them were John l.. Nuelsen, bishop of Europe; Rev. pr. A. j. Rucher of Gin cinnati, and MT. and Mrs. Hanford Crawford of St. Louis.
 Bishop Shepard said the committed or churchnen was received bv Presi- dent Ebert of Germany, President Seitz Of Austria, and Prime Minister Hussear of Hungary, and that all officia ls<con- cerned aided the visitors to obtain in. formation necessary to the committees report. The Americans distributed 100000 marks in Berlin and 00,O0C kronen each to Vienna and Budapest and also allotted lesser sums to mayors and civil officers in many smaller cities.
 FOOD AND CREDIT NEEDED Continuation of the Hoover relief system ci Q or,fz the giving of credit for raw materials are the immediate details in helping Europe" Bishop Shepard asserted. Chaotic conditions in Europe are the result of the breakdown in transporta tion and the means of communication The newspapers in Berlin and othe, cities are far smaller in size than the, formerly were, and they also have smaller circulations. The result is that the people of Europe are cut off I.from one another and are suspicious Formerly each man was a cog in 6 working machine. With disorganiza. tion of the machine, the people lost their nerve. They have forgotten how to go ahead, and will have to learn things over again.
 The countries of Europe must form an economic league and work together for the common welfare. We need to be in this league with them also for our own welfare"
 ''The only cure for the world now is to put In practice the teachings of Jesus" Bishop Burt declared By that IT mean that we must establish a brotherhood of democracy. America must have a strong foreign policy. and must have a strong man to back UT this policy. I believe heartily in diplomacy but the man or nation who tells the truth will always come out right. The whole trouble now is that we pay too much attention to ma terial things and the spirit of brother hood is neglected"

Filibuster Intimated to Slave Off Vote Until After

r~~oNf-fN~
 Washington, February 9.-Republican senators irreconcilably opposed to the peace treaty took vigorous measures again today to block by modification of tho article ten reservation which was adopted last November and which has since proved the greatest barrier to all compromise negotiations.
 Feeling that the republican leaders. unable to obtain enough votes to ratify the treaty with the reservation un- changed. might consent to some modifi- cation. the irreconcilables served notice through Senator Borah, republican, Idaho, that unless the provision were kept as it stands they would reserve liberty of action when consideration of the treaty is resumed tomorrow.
 The new tltimatuni. similar in nature to one laid down by the irreconcilables during the bipartisan compromises neEo- tiations was presented directly to the party leaders. Senator Lodge of Massa- chusetts, who is expected to confer with his colleague on the subject tomorrow.
 The votes. of the irreconcilables have been counted on to insure a majority for the republican reservation programme. as was the case in November. and the move today is expected to receive very serious consideration.
 THEIR PLAN SSECRET Just Wndt tilt AilHll Np to wreck the plans of the republican leaders was not revealed. It was sug- gested in some quarters, however, that if they chose to do so the irreconcllable group might easily debate the treaty at such length that action could be blocked until the assembling of the national political conventions.
 The result. in the opinion of many sen- ators, would preclude any possibility of Justification until the issue had been fought out in the campaign.
 When the Senate takes up the treaty again tomorrow it will have before 1t the reservation relating to settlement oi domestic questions under the League ot Nations By the unanimous consent agreement reached Saturday vote on this provision is to be taken at 2 D. m, and unless the plans of the leaders mis- carry it will be adopted in the same form as at the last session of congress. Many senators predicted tonight tut if no actual filbuster developed the en- tire list of reservations would be dis posed of and a vote taken on the treaty itself within the next ten days.

RETAIN PUREBRED BULL CALF
Good Dairyman Knows Value Of Young
Animal in Way Of Improving
Grade Herd.

Nature has her own percentage
rules which are as infallible, in the
long run, as the dealers margin at a
Monte Carlo gambling resort. Accord
ing to this infiexible law Of averages,
there are about as many bull calves
born each year as there are heifer
calves.
Every good dairyman knows the
value of purebred sire of good rec
ord, and what such an animal may
accomplish in the way of improving a
grade or scrub herd. Despite their
acknowledged value, it appears that
10000 purebred bull calves of dairy
breeds we're killed for veal or were
fattened for beef in 1918.

runs out to $4,000. The line for the
bulls of this breed registered during
the same year extends only to 10000.
The difference, $4,000, represents the
approximate number of bull calves not
registered. Presumably most of them
were either vealed or fattened as
steers.
The Jersey breed in 1918 registered
10000 cows and about 10000 bulIs-a
loss Of $4,000 purebred sires, many of
which might be more profitably en-
plOyed in the work of improving scrub
herds.
Guernsey and Ayrshire totals are
less, but the percentage of loss is
heavy there also.
In the face of this waste 1t is esti-
mated that Eve grades or scrub bulls
are in use for every purebred, bull. Ac-
cording to experts of the United
States department of agriculture the
replacement of scrub and grade bulls
with good purebreds would quickly
and materially raise the average pro-
duction of dairy herds. One of the
reasons for the surprising situation
outlined is probably an underdevel-
oped system of distribution.

THUNDERSTORMS SOUR MILK
Theory Held by Many People, but Au-
thOrities Attribute Trouble
70 Other Causes.

The season for thunderstorms is at
hand and good many farmers wives
will be concerned about the souring
of the milk. The theory is held by a
good many that thunder will sour the
milk, but authorities say the souring
should be attributed to other causes
They say that the souring is caused
normally by the acidity which results
from bacterial growth and sterilized
milk will not sour during thunder
storm. Neither will milk that is kept
on ice. The probable explanation lies
in the fact that during the storms OF
this kind the temperature is raised
sufficiently to favor the multiplication
of the milk-sourlng bacteria where the
temperature is not regulated by the
use Of ice.

LAST OF THE "BRIGADIERS''

From The New York Tribune.
 IT )HN II. Bankhead. who died on
 Monday, was the last surviving Con- " federate veteran in United States Senate There was time. as late as the second Cleveland administration, when you couldn't throw stone from the Senate gallery toward the democratic side without hitting a Confederate origadier.
 In very recent years Alabama was rep resented in the Senate by two Confed- crate generals. John T. Morgan and Ed n,und w. Pettus. Morgan's great repu- tation as an orator and statesman had lcng eclipsed his reputation as sol dier Pettus was one of the most original and delightful patriarchs who ever sat in the Senate. He had fought in the Mexican war as well as in the Civil war and didn't come to Washington until he was 76 years old.
 In Morgan's earlier days nearly every rrominent southern senator was former Confederate soldier.

 N FEEBLE. white haired, white A\ bearded man tottered down the 0 S steps of hospital in London the other day. supported on the arm of a nurse. His hands were palsied with age-the fire of youth had long since faded from his eyes. The future could hold little in store-for him save the great adventure" But. unless the London Mail was mistaken in identify ing Louis Redmond as the Swiss. Louis de Rougemont, behid him stretches a colorful past. rich in memories which even dimming faculties cannot erase.
 It was in the late sos that Louis de Rougemont returned to civilization with a thrilling account of adventures among the ~savages of the interior of Australia-adventure which rivaled those of Robinson Crusoe and the Swiss Family Robinson.
 In the early eos. he said, he had shipped as a member of apearling crew to the South Seas. For many months the little bark cruised among the trop- ical islands reaping rich harvest of lustrous gems from the warm waters of palm fringed bays and harbors. The time for it's return had long ago passed, but its precious cargo was growing so rapidly that the captain continued to push ever deeper among the islands.
 Then there came a fatefui day, when only De Rougemont was left aboard. His companions had put off early in small boats in quest of pearls, while he was left to guard the vessel. For hours he had been lolling on the deck, gazing indolently at the great white clouds which drifted lazily above him and lis- tening to the sleepy slush of small waves against the boats sides-when suddenly there came another sound--a terrifying roar and crash-and the boat Iwas in the center of a tropical hurri- cane. It pitched and rolled like a cork; masts and spars broke away like matchsticksS anchor chains snapped and De Rougemont was swept out alone into the great Pacific.
 There was no chance of picking up any of his comrades. They must all ready have perished in their fragile boats. He could only hang on to the tiller in a frantic effort to prevent his own bark from being capsized. For hours the boat raced before th
