OBJECTS ARE ASSURED
TO RESTORE WAR AIMS
Entente Diplomats Hold That the
Pope’s Proposals Imply an Armis-
tlce Only, Although Some Observ-
• ers Believe If Force of America is
- Exerted for Peace, It Will End
War. .
It is difficult to enumerate the
reasons advanced for unfavorable ac
tion by the United States and the
Allied gpvernmentstph the proposal
of the Pope, as they aire so many and
take such a wide ' range. Boiled
down, they may be said to embrace
the feeling that the Pope has mere
ly proposed an armistice, rather than
define terms for ending the war, and
that as the Allied nations have al
ready made known their aims and
plan of settlement in response, to the
urging of President Wilson last De
cember. it is for Germany and not
for any neutral interest to make the
text move.

The French and Spanish ambassa
dors were among the visitors at the
state department. It is believed, that
the Spanish government will have a
foremost part in making peace repre
sentations in behalf of the Vatican.
Secretary Lansing said that he had
not received the Pope’s proposal, but
he acknowledged .that he had been
informed unofficially of its charac
ter since Saturday.
Although the higher officials of
tho government are inclined to be
reticent, inquiry in the proper quar
ters of both the administration and
Allied diplomatic establishments in
dicate that the following represents
the prevailing view of the Pope’s
proposals:
A careful analysis of the suggested
peace terms, together with a study
of possible interests which may have

the belligerent poyrers, discloses that

the belief and experience of com
mercial poultry : farmers, was one of
the results ^obtained in a rather ex
tensive feeding test recently report
ed by poultrymen. of the United
States Department of Agriculture.
Because they, lay as many or more
eggs, eat only about 55 pounds of
feed per head, as compared with 70
to 85 pounds eaten by the general
purpose breeds, and because tbeir
egg yield^very materially exceeds
that of general purpose breeds, dur
ing their second and third laying
years. Leghorns, the specialists say,
undoubtedly are more profitable to
keep for the production of eggs only.
In this test the feed cost of a
dozen eggs for one of the Leghorn
pens was 7.34 cents in 1913; while
the average cost of all the pens of
the ^general purpose breeds was 10.6
C! 111a. In 1014 the feed cost of a
dozen eggs for the. same pen of leg
horns was K.« cents as against an
average cost of ‘la.l cents for the
second Ia)ing year of the general
purpose pens. During their third
treating 63
“In nearly all cases,” reports the
inspector, “the well herds surround
ing the infections were given the si
multaneous treatment as a precau
tionary measure. During the month
68 practicing veterinarians were
visited and 45 demonstrations made
with the view of securing uniform
ity of methods. Thirteen lectures
were given in infected areas with a
total attendance of 579. The bu
reau employees traveled by rail 6,-
739 miles and by other conveyances
3,304.
“Outbreaks appear to be sporadic
and we do not know of any spread
from these infected areas to sur
rounding herds. The conditions in
the open-range swamp country of
southeast Missouri, mentioned in the
last report, now, appear to be under
control. A majority of the herds In
this district are being treated as a
precaution and the latest reports
show that only a few infections are
being found. We are very much en
couraged as to the outlook. On ac

The International News Service
sends out this dispatch on the peace
feeling in Washington:
Officials of every sort are han
dling the report of the Pope’s note
to the belligerents in such a manner
that all Washington is convinced
that the situation is pregnant gith
real possibilities of peace.
Rumors of peace, suggestions of
peace and terms of peace which have
liitherto filtered to the United State*
have been invariably met with a re
pudiation almost nrornful. No such
treatment * was accorded the report
of the Vatican's move.
Secretary of State Landing early
volunteered the information that ha
had known Informally of such a
n ove for several days. * Now ha ab
solutely refuses to be questioned

taken after he had attended the cab

Allies, he said, would Insist upon

D was Intimated that Russia re
garded France's aspirations to re-
coverv of Alsace-l^irralne not as lust
for conquest, hut as a legitimate de
sire to recover territory which his
torically belonged to her and which
was takenfrom her by force.
Russia also is pleased by the dec
laration of war upon Germany and
Austria-Hungary by China. Under
the old Chinese regime, it was said.
Russia distrusted China, but under a
democratic form of goyernn#nt Rus
sia welcomes China into the w'ar^Aa
an ally and has entire faitht in
China’s intentions. The aims of
China and Russia in the Far East
were declared to be identical.
The Liberal Catholic, party of Italy
does not support the Vatican’s peace
effort, feeling that peace discussions
now r will mean dnly the delaying of
the re-establishment of an enduring
peace. .TRTs attitude of the Italian
Liberal Cfttholtrs was incTtcated In a
dispatch from Mslan. quoting Father
Merda. a priest who had just ad
dressed the provincial council of
Milan. He said:
“The only possible peace is a peace
which will assure Eqrope a regime

exchanges with Germany on
the Pope's terms. What he has pro
posed. It la held, la • resumption of
the stntua quo ante bellum. From
the Washington viewpoint, sn ac
ceptance of this situation would
mean that Gerjnany would go on ns
before, carrying out her preparation*
for ruthlessness and keeping In mind
always that wtfqn the opportune mo
ment arrived she would strike again.
Another Important aspect of the
Pope’s proposal is found in the sug
gestion that Austria prompted the
action of the Vatican because, Aus
tria is sick of the war. it is believed
In quarters w hose opinions are w’orth
consideration that the course of tke
Pope is the outgrowth of knowledge
on the part of both Germany and
Austria that the struggle can not be
continued much logger and it is nec
essary to find some basis for ending
hostilities with the least possible de
lay.
In these quarters the Pope’s pro
posal, granting that it was instigated
by Austria with Germany’s knowl
edge, fs looked upon as the most en
couraging sign that, has appeared for
many a day. “We have got them on
theirun,” was one expression used.
It is felt by some that America's
military participation in the war wjli
be marked by a series of eveuts. fhem
bringing the Allied governments a
nearer to the end of the Prus
sian autocracy. ~ * * ~ , .
The Pope. It is conceded, chose
the moment to make bin pence pro
posal when the desire for peace was

oreat nations, even In the British

alone, even alfalfa, need some grain
■npplrmmt. The amouai of grain
<>r other concentrated feed uaad
would depend on how much paalur-
axe la sellable, on thd root factor
of grain or other feeds, on thn* age
and condition of the pigs, and tha
time at which the farmer expects to
market them. To be ready for the
early fall markets spring pigs must
h? fed a heavier grain ration than
pigs intended tor the winter market.
Less protein supplement is needed
when pigs are run on leguminous
pastures. Under most farm conclK
lions/the pigs will gain well on a 1
to 8 per cent, grain ration. The self
feeding method is better. By feed
ing once a day in the early evening,
pigs take greater advantage of the
pasture and graze hungrily during
the cool of the morning or after
noon. ^Plenty of fresh, clean drink
ing water always should be avail
able. ■''
Pigs on; pasture usually get
enough exercise. / They should have
a clean, dry, well ventilated shelter
to guard against exposure to storms,
and to supply sfoade. A concrete
wallow witl~irttd' to the pigs’ conf-
fort, and a layer of oil on the w r ater
will keep down lice. Clean bedding
also helps to keep away lice, as will
au oiled sack on a rubbing post, or
sprinkling the pigs with crude oil
every two weeks.
To supply mineral matter and a
tonic, the following mineral mixture
Is good. It always should be acces
sible. Dissolve the copperas in hot
water and sprlkkle over the mixture.

But in their very authenticity the

them may be perfectly agreeable to
the United States, France, Russia
and Italy and wholly distasteful to
England. England, It is believed,
will hold out stuffly for the reten
tion of the German colonies. Japan

The only hope for bringing Eng

the Allies on such a proposition lies
in the success of the British labor
and Socialist movements—and that
is a movement which none of the
governments, Allied or Central—is
anxious to encourage.
In framing opinions of thq-Ger-’
man origin of the alleged peace
terms of the reputed papal note dip
lomats are carefully weighing two
recent circumstances. First, they
are taking a renewed interest in the
success or failure of the Flanders
