Communications Sent to Berlin
Declares Germany Must Pay

Morally Responsible For War, Hughes
Says-Text Of Reply To Dr..
Simons' Plea Is Made
Public.

Washington.-The United States
stands with the governments Of the
Allies in holding Germany morally
responsible for the war and obligated
to pay full reparations, Secretary OF
State Hughes declared in the COM
munication presented to the German
Government.
The text of the communication from
the United States to the German Gov.
ernment was made public at the State
Department confirming press reports
that Germany had been notified Of the
position of the United States.
The communication to Germany was
in direct reply to one handed by the
German Foreign Minister, DR.. Simons,
to American Commissioner Dresel in
Berlin. This was on March % and the
American reply was dated March 20.
The communication from Secretary
Hughes stated the American Govern.
ment was pleased to note the "un-
equivocal" desire expressed by the Ger
man Government to pay reparations
for the war to the limit Of her ability.
The State Department specifically
denied that the communication from
the United States was considered a
formal note.

COL, HARVEY NAMED
AS AMBASSADOR
will Represent United States
at Court Of St. James
BROWN NOT TO GO TO JAPAN
Herrick May Go To Paris-Noted
Ohioan Held The Post Of Am.
bassador To France Under
President Taft.

Washington.-Presi Harding has
definitely decided to nominate Col.
George Harvey, editor of Harvey s
Weekly, as Ambassador to Great
Britain. His name, together with 9TH
er diplomatic nominations not yet
fully determined upon, will be sent to
the Senate when it convenes in ex'
ira session April II. This was made
known officially by the President at
the White House.
Myron T. Herrick, of Ohio, former
Ambassador to France under Presi.
dent Taft, is likely to be named again
for that post. While nothing official
was disclosed regarding the Presi
dents intention to nominate Mr.. Her.
rick as ambassador, it is intimated
that such a course is likely.
The President set at rest the report
that Walker Brown, of Toledo, O.,
would be selected as ambassador to
Japan. It is understood that Mr..
Brown does not want to leave the
United States. He has been men.
toned for several important Federal
positions in Washington, but nothing
definite is known Of the Presidents S
intentions in this respect.
Colonel Harvey conferred with Pres
ident Harding and will later confer
with Secretary of State Hughes on the
various matters pending between this
country and Great Britain and ques.
tions which are likely to arise in the
future. The time of his departure for
London is not known, but it will prob
ably be early in May.
It has been known for several weeks
that President Harding was consid'
ering the appointment of Colonel
Harvey to the London ambassadorship,
but considerable opposition to the Sc
lection developed and the delay in the
official announcement gave rise to the
report that Great Britain had not sig.
nified her acceptance of Mr.. Harvey in
this capacity It became known that
favorable reply had been received
from the British Foreign Office.
Before the President made the Gus.
tomary inquiry of Great Britain re.
garding the naming Of Colonel Harvey,
he caused a poll to be made Of the
members of the Senate Foreign Rela-
tions Committee to learn whether
that committee was favorable to his
confirmation. The result Of this poll
was satisfactory and there is not ex.
pected to be any important opposition
to his confirmation in the Senate.

the most advanced races Of the Old
World were on the border line between
savagery and barbarism. 1t far ante
dates any but the simplest mechanical
arts. Yet. while our knowledge of the
laws of nature as they apply to ma
chimes has reached great magnitude
and complexity, it has been compara'
lively few years since the principles
Of breeding have been more than a col
lection of unrelated traditional beliefs
The same superstitions on which the
shepherds of Asia based their practices
at least 80 centuries ago are still wide
ly current, while the one sound princi-
pie known to the ancients- selection OF
the best for breeding stock-is still
much neglected.
The principles of successful animal
breeding, as they have been learned by
practical experience In the United
States and older countries, and by care
full scientific study along definite lines
are outlined in Bulletin 9O5, recently
issued by the United States Depart
ment Of Agriculture.
This bulletin goes into the first prin'
ciples of reproduction and follows with
the means by which certain character
istics of one or the other parent are
transmitted to the offspring, the meth.
DDS of selection best suited to intensity
the desirable characteristics and weed
out the undesirable, the characteris'
tics which can with certainty be e1.
pected to continue from one generation
to another, those which are uncertain
and those which cannot be inherited.
Aside from mere increase in mum.
bers, the purposes which the breeder Is
likely to have in mind fall under two
more or less distinct heads, namely
production of uniform product, and
improvement. A uniform product de
pends on such control over the heredity
Of the stock that matings can be made
with the assurance that the offspring
will be of a certain definite type fol
which there is demand. Improvement
is, Of course, closely related to control
over heredity, but the methods which
give the greatest control are not neces'
sarily those which lead to the most
rapid improvement.
In broad sense the whole subject
Of practical breeding comes under the
head of selection. The most obvious
basis for such selection is the perform.
ance Of the animals themselves. Un.
fortunately, the merits of most kinds
Of live stock cannot be measured direct
ly. The study of conformation as an
index of useful qualities has according.
ly held high place as basis for Sc
lection of breeding stock. Live stock
judging has this for its purpose. An
animal of good breeding is a better one
to breed than one of equal individual
merit but Of mixed or common breed
ing. Pedigree, though often misused,
is a valuable aid to selection, apart
from following a general policy of mat
ing. The soundest basis Of all for Sc
lection Of breeding stock is the record
of past performance as breeder, pro.
vided the record is sufficiently exten
sive to give fair test.
