prepared by the United States Depart

More than 800 replies have been re-
ceived from practical stock breeders
and owners in response to a question
naire sent out by the United States
Department of Agriculture in an effort
to determine the cause and possible
means Of preventing runts in live
stock. The large number Of replies,
department specialists say, indicates
the interest which stock breeders feel
in this subject. Some Of the ques-
lions asked in the questionable are:
"From your experience, in what
classes of live stock do the most runts
appear (cattle, hogs, sheep, etc.)"
"In what stage Of. an animals devel-
opment does runtiness appear chiefly?"
"In your experience what are the most

The replies thus far received show
that inferior breeding and poor feed
ing are Jointly responsible for nearly
two-thirds of the runts among live
stock, and indicate that at least Z per
cent of farm live stock is commonly
in the runty class. Detailed data on

later witness heard that the Torring-
ton was sinking. When witness ar
rived on the submarine he found two
other British captains already there
Captain Draper Of the Umvoti and
Captain Ashfield Of the Petridge-
both of whose ships had been sunk.
Told He Was Lucky.
Mr.. Gattle-Did you have any con-
versation with the members Of the
submarines crew?
Yes, l was bemoaning my fate, and
a man named Kuper, who was lead.
Ing seaman, said, "You are lucky you
have your life" On another occasion
/ was talking to the senior wireless
operator, and he also said was lucky
to be alive, and added, "There are too
many about now or I would tell you
something more" / used to get the
English wireless news every night from
this man, and one night he said: "Your
crew never got home. They were all
drowned"
Witness went on to say that on
April IA the submarine sunk another
ship, named the Tora. The captain
was brought below by Werner and the
submarine then submerged, as she had
done after the Torrington was tor
pedoed. When she rose again Werner
sent for witness and asked him If he
would like to see a ship sink. For
the sake of getting some fresh air he
replied, "Yes," and he went up into
the coming tower and saw the Tora
short distance away. She did not.
however, sink until some time later.
Two or three days later another
vessel was sunk by gunfire, and again
the submarine submerged after the
captain had been brought below. In
neither case, as far as witness could
see, was there any necessity for SUBJ
merging. Witness was eventually
landed at Heligoland and remained a
prisoner until December, 1918. Before
he left the submarine one Of the officers
gave him q piece Of torpedo as SOU
venir and a pass bearing the U-boat's
number and the commanders name.
Replying to Doctor Bunger, Captain
Starkey said the Turrington was char
tered by the Italian State railways.
He could not explain how it was that
he was allowed to escape alive when
he might become such an important
witness. He supposed Captain Werner
did not think he knew what had hap
pened to the crew.
Doctor Bungar-Several German
witnesses have stated that British
destroyer was approaching while this
was taking place.
Witness-There was no destroyer
near to my knowledge. If Destroy
er had been approaching, the subma-
rine would not have come to the sur
face twenty minutes afterward.

Graphic Tale of
U-BOat Murders

Before the submarine submerged
members of the German crew got into
Captain Starkeys lifeboat and rowed
away, and they afterwards returned
with loot from the Torringtbn and
also provisions, which were identified
by Captain Starkey as having been In
the other lifeboat. Captain Starkey
was afterwards kept prisoner on
the submarine, and while he was on
board two other British ships were
torpedoed and their crews disposed of
In the same way. He was eventually
taken to Germany, and after the arm
istlce he came back to this country
and told his story.
lnsulted by German Captain.
Capt. Anthony Starkey of Cardiff
gave evidence bearing out counsel's
statement. He said he was thirty-four
years Of age and was now master of
the steamship Brendon. Describing
what took place after he went on board
the submarine, he said that Werner,
who spoke good English, asked him
his name, and when he told him he
said. "You lie," and pushed over an
old copy Of Lloyd's Register, In which
the name of the previous captain of
the Torrington appeared.
Witness explained that he had only
been captain Of the vessel for four
months, and Werner then asked If he
had any gunners on board. He re.
piled that they were on deck, and
Werner remarked that he did not see
anyone in uniform. Witness replied
in a jocular manner that he had not
given them time to put on their best
clothes.
Mr.. Gattie-f you had known he
was coming you would have dressed
up for it. Was it the practice for
gunners to be dressed in uniform?
Witness-No; they were members
of the crew. Werner then said, you
are d. pirate. You deserve to be
shot, and as for the others, let them
SWIM"
Had you any idea then what he
meant? No, l thought it was just an
expression like LET them rip" mean
ing let them go, don't bother about
them. Werner then went away and
the submarine submerged.
Continuing, witness said that after
the submarine came to the surface
again the German sailors returned
in the Torrington's lifeboat, and he
noticed that they had, among other
things, some of his personal clothing
and also tins Of meat which had been

FOES OF DISARMAMENT

There are doubtless many persons
who wonder why more rapid prog
ress is not being made with the pro-
posed conference of nations on the
subject of disarmament, but a little
reasoning ought to make the matter
plain.
There are many interests in this
county which profit greatly from
army and navy contrasts-the steel
companies. the powder companies,
the shipbuilding plants, and others.
There are great profits in army
and navy contracts in time Of peace,
and stupendous profits from such
contracts in time of war Many
great fortunes were made during the
recent world war.
The opponents of disarmament do
not work directly or in the open.
They subsidize some of the newspa
pers, and some of the colleges. and
even some of the pupils. 1t is not
always possible to see the connection
between them and their spokesman.
There is little open opposition to
disarmament, save on the part of
army and navy officers, whose pro-
fessions are involved. The favor
tie method of fighting it is to point
ont the difficulties involved, and the
d"V"ers of trusting other nations to
ke"D an agreement, and so on.
BIT the idea is growing, and it is
going to prevail. Sooner or later
there will be a world conference on
the subject, and this will be follow
e9 by world agreement on the sub
iect and then the agreement will be
put into effect
And then some wealthy people will
have to put their money into other
lines of industry.

The Thin Gray Line

Time has so smoothly welded the
sections once sundered that now the
nation is as one in recognizing the
glory that was the South's in the
days when Morgan, the raider. rode
with his men and Jeb Stewards
plume waved in front Of his gallant
line Of heroes.
America is land Of sentiment.
For it, the revolutionary fathers
braved the supposedly invincible
ranks of a great empire. For it the
descendants of the Pilgrims and the
Cavaliers died in Flanders fields and
went through shell at Chateau
Thierry. Yet sentiment sometimes
sleeps.
The old boys in gray would like
to meet somewhere this year; to hold
one more reunion; to live again in
memory the hours of crisis in a
period Of wonderful adventure. Yet
times are hard and it would require
fund of $4,000 to provide suit
able entertainment for the veterans
of the cause so nearly won and so
everlastingly lost.
The sum involved, could, in ordi-
nary times, be raised by popular
subscription in any city in the coun-
try, hut the drive was overdriven.
The subscription list is unpopular.
The public is weary of solicitation.
The old Confederates must bide their
time.
Were they young, a year would
mean less, but the thin gray line is
thinning fast. Taps are sounding
for the brave old fellows who
so blithely shouldered the musket
or buckled the sword belt to fight
for an ideal of self determination
For many of them this will be the
last year when an earthly reunion
woold be possible. Next year they
will be on flames eternal camping

Louisville has entertained. organi-
cations of many creed and faith
but of all its welcome guests none
has ever been so welcome as was the
Confederate remnant. One can still
hear the brave old rebel yell as the
aged but very boyish troopers made
their way through the streets. And
memory recalls one figure. It is that
of gray beard from Georgia, hob
bling along on homemade, straw
padded wooden leg and waving Old
Glory, while the band played
'Dixie."

SPEcTAcLEs FOB cows

Many people, no doubt, have been
puzzled by the item, "spectacles for
cows" which appears in the long
list of articles required by Russia.
It is not that the Russian cows are
more intelligent than those of other
countries, explains THE London
Chronicle, and have ruined their
eyes in the intervals between chew
ing the cud, but simply that the vast
tracts of snow on the plains where
the animals are allowed to Craze
during the early spring sets up
troublesome eye affections, very Of
ten leading to blindness.
Several years ago an Englishman
came to the rescue of the COWS by
inventing a special form of spec
tacles made of brown glass. These
are fastened around the horns of
the animals by an ingenious ar
rangement of leather straps. The
manufacture Of these cows spec
tacles formed a considerable bust
ness, sufficient to keep a good sized
factory employed all the year round.
The supply of these spectacles is
running low and as they have prov
ed to be of real service there is re-
newed demand for them. The cows
need the spectacles as a protection
to their eyes, but not TO read with.
That's all there is to this story
about spectacles for COWS.
