more eggs than those which must live
in iHrommodiouS quarters, say poultry

Poultry House Requisites.
Poultry houses or other buildings
where fowls are kept should be dry,
well ventilated. free from drafts, with
plenty Of sunshine and room enough 10
allow the birds to move about with
freedom and comfort. These are nee
eSsary features, in fact much more inn
ing used, If the fowls are to he kept
healthy, vigorous and productive.
If a new house is to be built. II
should be located, If possible. on high
or sl0ping ground and always on dry
and well-drained soil Wet or damp
ground means damp house. and
damp house not only means cold one
hut invites sickness and diseases.
Never build house in hollow. as
water and cold air settle in low places
and should be avoided. Have the house
face the south. as 1t gives more sum
light for n longer part of the day, es-
pecially In winter when sunlight Is nee
essary for the comfort of the birds It
also makes the house warmer, dryer
and more cheerful and adds to the pro-
ductiveness Of the flock.
The poultry house should be convent
ent, substantial and inexpensive. Its
size or dimensions depend largely upon
where you live and the number Of
fowls you wish to keep. On farm or
where the birds can be out of doors
nearly every day in the year, about
two and One-half square feet of floor
space per bird in fiocks of 20 Is enough,

where there Is q good deal of snow,

birds closely. four or five square feet

GREECE IS WARNED
BY ALLIED PREMIERS
AGAINST CONSTANTINE

LONDON, Dec. 3.-The allied prem
lers, in conference today, agreed to
send a note to the Greek government
declaring that restoration Of Constan-
tine to the throne of Greece would be
regarded as ratification by that coun-
try of Constantine's hostile acts and
would create a new and unfavorable
situation in the relations between
Greece and the allies.
The text of the note follow:
The British, French and Italian
governments have constantly in the
past given proof Of their good will to-
ward the Greek people and have IA
vored their attainment Of their secular
aspirations. They, therefore. have been
all the more painfully surprised by
the events which have just occurred
in Greece.
No Desire to Interfere.
''They have no wish to interfere in
the internal affairs of Greece, but feel
bound to declare publicly that restora-
ton of the throne of Greece to a King
whose disloyal attitude and conduct
toward the allies during the war
caused them great embarrassment
and loss could only be regarded by
them as ratification by Greece of his
hostile acts. This step would create
a new and unfavorable situation in
the relations between Greece and the
allies and in that case the three gov
ernments reserve to themselves COM
pleto liberty in dealing with the
situation thus created"

FOREIGN MINISTERS
OF CHINA and JAPAN
ARE IN CONTROVERSY
CBy Associated Press.)


PEKING, Dec. 3.-The fact that jap
anese authorities sent troops to the
frontier town of Hungchun, in Chinese
territory, for the announced purpose
Of protecting Japanese subjects, after
the town had been raided by bandits,
appears to have raised a serious con-
troversy between the foreign minis
tries Of the countries In question, and
incidentally to have re-opened an old
controversy concerning an adjacent
territory known as Chientao. (Hung-
chun is Chinese town on the Tumen
river at a point where the borders of
China, Korea and the Maritime prov
ince of Siberia meet. It is about 60
miles south of Vladivostok)
The Chinese press accuses the Jap
anese of being actuated by" an Interior
motive in the course they have pur-
sued. E. Lenox Simpson, statistician
to the president of China, has pointed
out that it is significant that such at
tacks by Chinese bandits are always
attempted where Japan wishes to set
up garrisons.
Early in October a band of outlaws
which is said to have numbered sew
eral thousand and to have been we'll
supplied with modern rifles and ma
chine guns, entered Hungchun, killed
number of people including, it is
said, sesveral Japanese, and burned
the Japanese consulate. After the raid

He found proud consolation in the
service in the field of all four of his
| sons. At the supreme sacrifice of the
youngest, Quentin, who fell battling
in the air, he turned brave front to
the public and gave no outward sign
Of the cruel hurt that the blow must
have caused the heart of a father so
fond. "Only those are fit to live who
do not fear to die" was his message
from the shadow OF the loss of his
baby boy.
Old foes hailed him as the hope of
the Republican party in 1920. He
smiled at the suggestion, though his
intuition and his increasing ailments
may already have warned him that he
had fought his fight and finished his
course. Both his parents were short
lived, and he had exceeded his natur-
al prospect of life, when the final
summons came to him as he slept in
his home at Oyster Bay before the
dawn of a January day in 1919.
The death of no other ex-president,
of no other private citizen in any land
has called out such worldwide ex-
preston of regret. To Americans, it
was like a death in the family For

mony to the democracy and the real
Americanism which were exemplified
in the many-sided life of Theodore
Roosevelt.

If ever the name of Theodore Roose-
welt shall cease to live in political his
tory and legend, it will still shine
forth from the metal tablets on the
exhibition cases in the National Mu-
scum at Washington, where curious
visitors in generations to come will
pause to look in amazement at the
great beasts which this Nimrod of the
presidential line slew in the jungles of
Africa. Those cases should serve also
to prove an alibi for Roosevelt from
the charge that he was the slayer of
the Republican elephant.
Contrary to the unreflecting opin-
ion, the Republican party was already
disrupted and defeated while Roose-
welt was roaming the far-off wilds of
East Africa, which his political revolu-
ton was completely overthrow by a
counter revolution. AS president he
had made the party again somewhat
like unto what it was in its youth, the
great organ of liberalism and prog
ress, giving it such a hold upon the
people as it never had before. He re-
turned to find it, as he believed, the
party of standpattism and reaction,
with tidal wave of popular dissatis-
faction flowing against it.
Nevertheless he went at once on
wearisome, hopeless tour of the coun
try in an effort to save the party in
the congressional elections of 1910,
and he took the stump again in 1911,
with the same barren result The
doom of the Taft administration in
the presidential election of 1912 al
ready was sealed, when a group of Re-
publican governors appealed to the ex-
president to be the party candidate
and to lead a forlorn hope. Even he
would stand only a sporting chance to
win, and he responded in sporting
terms: My hat is in the ring"

Officials of the administration are
quoted as asserting that there are al
ready five hundred thousand "reds T"
in the United States and that the Rus
sian bolsheyih are sending not only
eommnistie propagandists, but also
money for propaganda purposes into
this country at a rapid rate. This as
sertion, coupled with the plea that
there is no adequate legislation now
ON the statute books for the suppress
sion OF cred activities, will go far to
secure very early action on the Pom
dexter anti-sedition bill, which pro-
vides severe penalties for advocating
violence for the purpose of bringing
about changes in government or for
controlling the actions of government
officials. The bill also makes it a
erime to belong 20 an organization
which advocates violence toward the
