Dead Prelate EulOgized

During the long service-as pic
tureful as a tapestry of the middle
ages, suddenly become animated
Arch Bishop John J. Glennon of St.
Louis, took the pulpit and looking
down on the bier of q fellow church,
man, euIogized the late cardinal as
the great leader and soldier, the
great legislator, the ar-visioned edu-
Gator, the great patriot, the kindly,
gentle old man"
The service ended shortly before
one o'clock after the service of Abb
solution and the long occasional
streamed from the Cathedral. Then
came dusk. With the fall of evening
tender hands lifted the frail little
body of the churchman from the great
purple catafalque on which it had
rested in state for four days and
placed it in a simple coffin of cardin-
al purple. Then the casket was borne
TO the white marble crypt under the
sanctuary. in which six other arch
bishops already were sealed. A sim
pie ceremony witnessed only by the
closest and dearest-and then the
door of the Vault swung to. sg
In this manner James Cardinal Glib
bons was laid to rest beneath the ca
thcdral in which he had been bap-
tized in which he had been consecrat-
ed to the service of God, in which he
had been named the youngest bishop
of his time and in which in later years
he had been elevated to archbishop and
cardinal. The last requiem was thing
of beauty-a symphony of sound and
color.
The cathedral was half filled when
the head of the professional entered
the doors shortly before 10 O'Clock.
The laity were seated from the rear
of the church forward to the foot of
the candle-lighted bier on which rest
ed the cardinal in the archbishop's
yestments and mitre. The entire for
ward part of the cathedral was re-
served for the clergy.
The organ pealed. Into the church

COMMITTEES REPORT

Washington, March 31-Moral re-
sponsibility for the present disorders
in Ireland is placed upon the British
government by the Commission of the
Committee of One Hundred investi-
eating the Irish question in 10000
word report made public today and
covering the examination of witness
es at public hearings held by the
commission in Washington last No
vember, December and January.
The report has been issued under
the title of 1.-THE American Commits
sion on Conditions in Ireland" which
announces that it will continue the
inquiry.
DECLARING that the Commission IVES
under the disadvantage of lacking
the official British side of the case"
except as il was gathered from docu-
ments presented to it, the report de-,
clares that 1.-The imperial British ar
my in Ireland has been guilty of
proved excuses, not Incompatible in
degree and kind with those alleged, by
the Bryce report on Belgium Atroci-
ties. to have been committed by the
imperial German army" The Bryce
Commission. it is pointed out, was
similarly handicapped.
Thirty eight witnesses of alleged
atrocities including Is Irish, Is Amer
lean and two English citizens, testi-
fled before the commission. The COM
| mission admits that its report is ex
parte in spite of it's ecorts to hear all
sides. The testimony available, the
report says. gives the case therefore,
almost wholly from the Irish repub-
lican or Slim Fein viewpoint or from
sources not unsympathetic to the APP
plication of the principle of self-de-
| termination to Ireland" The Ulster
Unionist viewpoint and that of the
/ British authorities in Ireland. the re-
port says, were not represented
among the witnesses.
Summing up its conclusions after
i'hearing all the testimony, the com
mission finds that the Irish people
are deprived of the protection of Brit
sh law, to which they would be en-
titled as subjects of the British King.
They are likewise deprived of the
moral protection granted by interna-
tional law, to which they would be en-
titled as belligerents. They are at the
| mercy of imperial British forces
which, acting contrary both TO all
! law and to standards of human con-
, duct, have instituted in Ireland a ter
| ror.' the evidence regarding which
! seems to prove that:
1.-The Imperial British govern
ment has created and introduced
into Ireland Il force of at least $4,000
men, many of them youthful and in
experienced, and some of them con-
victs; and has melted that force &c
, unbrilded violence.

Ireland have indiscriminately killed
! innocent men. women and children
have tortured and shot prisoners
while in custody, adopting the subter-
fuges of refusal to halt and at

OUT DAIRY RATIoNs
of Value and Cost Of Various
Feeds Available.

A series Of 26 dairy feeding schools
We're conducted during the spring
months in six New Hampshire coun-
ties by county agents, working coop
eratively with the United States De-
partment Of Agriculture and the State
Agricultural college Seven more are
planned. In carrying out these schools
lecturing and formal talk have been
practically eliminated and the dairy
men are seated at tables, where they
figure out for themselves the compo-
sition Of various rations and compute
costs. Much enthusiasm has been
aroused
That the results are worth while Is
indicated by the statement of Hook
sett farmer, who reported saving of
81 day, while another who attended
the school at Warner wrote the coun-
ty agent that he is now saving $36 a
month as a result of feeding a ra-
tion that he figured out there. The
discussion provoked by the farmers
figuring these rations gives a better
understanding of the value and cost
of the various feeds available than
any amount of iecturing could posi-
bly, accomplish.

tracted by way of the navel or mouth
soon after birth. Medicinal treatment
usually fails. but triple sulpho-car-

each newborn calf with pOiyvalent
anti-dysenteric serum and likewise
use 1t in double doses should case
occur. Provide a new clean pen for
newborn calves. At birth saturate
the stump of the navel of each calf
with tincture of iodine and then apply
powdered starch. Repeat the treat

ers are to be raised under dry-land
conditions the seed should be put in
rows 30 to 36 inches apart.
On the project under observation 1t
was intended to let the sunflowers get
fairly well matured, about the same as
corn, before putting them in the silO.
hut as n storm broke them down IT was
necessary to put them in the silo
earlier. The yield was from 80 to 40
tons per acre. Cows fed on sunflower
silage kept up the usual flow of milk
as well as those which were fed on the
grain silage. Some of the big Holstein
cows ate as much as 80 pounds per
day. No unfayorable results could be
noticed in the flavor of the milk. While
this experiment has not gone far
enough to reach definite conclusions, 1t
indicates that sunfiowers may be con-
sidered good crop for siIage in some
localities.
