OPP. COURTHOUSE FREEDOM OF SEAS DEMANDED BY U. S. [Continued from First Page.] for the free use of the sea "without compromise and at any cost." The note follows: Department of State, Washington, July 21. 1915. The Secretary of State to Ambassador Gerard: You are instructed to deliver textually the following note to the minister for foreign affairs: The note of the imperial German' government dated the Bth of July, 1915, has received the careful consid eration of the government of the United States and it regrets to be obliged to say that it has found it very unsatisfactory, because it fails to meet the real differences between the two governments and indicates no way in which the accepted principles of law and humanity may be applied in the grave matter in controversy, but pro poses, on the contrary, arrangements for a partial suspension of those prin ciples which virtually set thern aside. The government of the United States notes with satisfaction that the im perial German government recognizes without reservation the validity of the principles insisted on in the several communications which this government with regard to its announcement of a war zone and the use of submarines against merchantmen on the high seas —the principle that the high seas are free, that the character and cargo of a merchantman must first be ascertained before she can lawfully be seized or destroyed, and that the lives of non •Jmbatants may in no case be put in unless the vessel resists or seeks to escape after being summoned to submit to examination, for a beUj ligerent act of retaliation is per se an act beyond the law, and the defense of an act as retaliatory is an admission that it is illegal. British Actions Not On Trial The government of tne United States is however, keenly disappointed to find that the imperial German govern ment regards itself as in large degree exempt from the obligation to observe these principles, even where neutral vessels are concerned, by what it be lieves the policy and practice of the government of Great Britain to be in the present war with regard to neutral commerce. The imperial German gov ernment will readily understand that the government of the United States i annot discuss the policy of the gov ernment of Great Britain with regard to neutral trade except with that gov ernment itself, and that it must regard the conduct of other belligerent gov ernments as irrelevant to any discus sion with the imperial German gov ernment of what this government re gards as grave and unjustifiable vio lations of the rights of American citi zens by German naval commanders. Illegal and inhuman acts, however justifiable they may be thought to be against an enemy who is believed to have acted in contravention of law and humanity, are manifestly inde fensible when they deprive neutrals of their acknowledged rights, par ticularly when they violate the right to life itself. If a belligerent cannot re taliate against an enemy without in juring the lives of neutrals as well as their property, humanity, as well as justice and a due regard for the dignity | We Have a Roofing I | for Roofs that are Flat | j! —a permanent roofing that will not rust, as tin does, or l\ 111 crack and leak as tar roofs do.

SATURDAY EVENING, SILVER PENCILD COPYRIGHT, 1915. Holland gave the world this variety of poultry—one of the most beautiful in existence. Many years ago the Dutch called this fowl the "Everyday I->ayer," and its fame as an egg pro ducer led to its exportation to Eng land, where fanciers developed it and bred it to fixed characteristics and coloration. It was a leading variety in England until the Leghorns largely supplanted it. The Silver Penciled Hamburgs lay of neutral powers, should dictate that the practice be discontinued. If per sisted in, it would in such circum stances constitute an unpardonable offense against the sovereignty of the neutral nation affected. The govern ment of the United States is not un mindful of the extraordinary con- I ditions created by this war or of the I radical alterations Of circumstance and I method of atack produced by the use | of instrumentalities of naval warfare i which the nations of the world cannot , have had in view when the existing rules of international law were formu lated, and it is ready to make every reasonable allowance for these novel and unexpected aspects of war at sea; but it cannot consent to abate any est-ential or fundamental right of its people because of a mere alteration of circumstance. The rights of neutrals in time of war are based upon prln- I ciple, not upon expediency, and the I principles are immutable. It is the : duty and obligation of belligerents to j tind a way to adapt the new circum stances to them. Humane Course Possible ' , The events of the last two months have clearly indicated that it is pos sible and practicable to conduct such submarine operations as have char acterized the activity of the imperial German navy within the so-called war zone in substantial accord with the i accepted practices of regulated war well, but the eggs, which are white, are small, and the hens themselves are small. They seldom set. Both sexes have large rose combs, pure white earlobes, dark legs, and the tail of the male is carried low and sweeping. In color they are black and white, the male being almost en tirely white. The female has a white neck hackle, and the plumage of the rest of her body is white, barred with parallel bars of glossy black. fare. The whole world has looked with interest and increasing satisfac tion at the demonstration of that pos sibility by German naval commanders. It is manifestly possible, therefore, to lift the whole practice of submarine attack above the criticism which it has aroused and remove the chief causes of offense. < In view of the admission of illegality made by the imperial government when it pleaded the right of retaliation and defense of its acts, and in view of the manifest possibility of conforming to the established rules of naval war fare, the government of the United States cannot believe that the im perial government will longer refrain from disavowing the wanton act of its naval commander in sinking the Lusi tanla, of from offering reparation for the American lives lost, so far as reparation can be made for a needless destruction of human life by an illegal (ICt. The government of the United States, while not indifferent to the friendly spirit in which it is made, cannot ac cept the suggestion of the imperial German government that certain ves sels be designated and agreed upon which shall be free on the seas now Illegally proscribed. The very agree ment would by Implication subject other vessels to illegal attack and would be a curtailment and therefore an abandonment of the principles for which this government contends and which In times of calmer counsels every nation would concede as of course. Freedom of Sea to Be Upheld The government of the United States and the imperial German government are contending for the same great object, have long stood together in urging the very principles upon which the government of the United States now solemnly Insists. They are both contending for the freedom of the seas. The government of the United States will continue to contend for that free dom. from whatever quarter violated without compromise and at any cost. It invites the practical co-operation of the imperial German government at this time when co-operation may ac complish most and this great common object be most strikingly and effect ively achieved. The imperia.il German government expresses the hope that this object may be in some measure accomplished even before the present war ends It can be. The government of the United States not only feels obliged to insist upon it, by whomsoever violated or ignored, in the protection of its own citizens, but is also deeply interested in seeing it made practicable between the belligerents themselves, and holds itself ready at any time to act as the common friend who may be privileged to suggest a way. . In the meantime, the very value which this government sets upon the long and unbroken friendship between J? e people and government of the Lnited States and the people and gov ernment of the German nation impels it to press very solemnly upon the im perial German government the neces sity for a scrupulous observance of neutral rights in this critical matter Friendship itself prompts It to say to the imperial government that repe tition by the commanders of German naval vessels of acts in contravention of these rights must be regarded by the government of the United States when they affect American citizens' as deliberately unfriendly.

HARRISBURG TELEGRAPH CORRECT FEEDING IS NECESSARY TO KEEP POULTRY GROWING This Year's Chicks Must Have a Balanced Ration If They Are to Develop Into Profitable Fowls Combination of Cracked Grains and Dry Mash Sug gested as Economical Diet For the Young Stock By Prof, narry R. Head of Department of Poultry Hus bandry, New Jersey State Agricul tural Experiment Station. COPYRIGHT, 1915. To feed growing poultry econom ically. the owner must Rive them a ra tion that will secure regular and rapid development. In this article Prof. I.ewis tells what each element in the common foods is, and shows how to mix feeds that will give best results with tlie growing stock. Growing poultry must be provided with an abundance of foods of the right composition supplied in such a way as to reduce the Inlior to the lowest point which Is consistent with good growth and proper maturity. It is vitally necessary to appreciate the importance of systematic feeding. It is a well-established fact that poul try, more than any other farm animal, must be cared for in a systematic way. A deiinite time should be set aside for feeding the growing stock, and they should be fed each day at the same time and with the same degree of care. Random feeding will not result in successfully grown roasters for mar ket purposes. Knowledge of Food Essential In determining the best foods for growing poultry, it is essential that the feeder should know the functions and uses of the common nutriments. They are protein, carbohydrates, fat, ash and water. Each of these mate rials has a definite function to per form, and all must supplied in the proper proportions if a continuous j growth is to be maintained. Protein is essentially a nitrogenous food material. It is of the most im portance In the ration, is expensive to purchase, and ran not be readily grown by the poultryman. It provides material for the formation of the lean meat, feathers, beak and naiis. Car bohydrates are food materials which contain carbon, hydrogen and oxygen, examples being sugar and starch. Fat is oil stored up in plants and animals. Carbohydrates and fat have much the same function when fed to the grow ing birds. These functions are three: , 1. They are oxidized or burned in the process of digestion and give off heat, which keeps the birds warm. 2. Heat is produced and utilized by the bird as energy to enable it to move. 3. The carbohydrates and fats which are not used for heat ana energy are stored up in the body as animal fat, or reserved food material. Growing poultry must bave these elements of protein, carbohydrates and fat in order to maintain a satisfactory gain. Mineral Matter Important Ash or mineral matter is an impor tant nutriment, having for its function the building up of the bone and the formation of the framework of the body. I.imc is a simple form of ash, which is fed extensively in poultry rations. In addition to building up body and tissue, ash aids the process of digestion by increasing the availa bility of, other foods. The growing poultry must have enough mineral matter to build a good solid frame work, so that later they will be able to put on a larger amount of flesh when desired. Water, while not a true food, has an important function. It aids in dis solving food material in smaller par ticles and distributing them to the dif ferent parts of the body. It also adds materially in increasing diffusion, which is the process by which food material is ultimately assimilated. With this brief discussion of the functions of the different nutriments, it will be interesting and practicable to know the possible sources of those materials in order to mix rations eco nomically. Protein or nitrogenous food materials are of two kinds—those of an animal source and those of a vegetable source. There is no more economical source of protein than meat scrap, which can be purchased for about SSO a ton, or five cents a pound for the protein present. Fish scrap is also efficient as a protein carrier. It contains considerable phos phoric acid and nitrogen. It can be purchased for $2 per 100 pounds. Bone In the dry granulated form contains from 20 to 25 per cent, protein, and about 23 per cent, of phosphoric acid. Arrowing chicks thrive much better when it is included in ration. These three carriers of animal protein offer sufficient range for selection. Vege table protein carriers usually consist of such products as gluten meal, oil mea and soy bean meal. These are efficient when given in relatively small quantities, but protein from such sources will not replace protein from animal sources. Clover and Alfalfa Desirable Clover and alfalfa are efficient car riers of protein. They contain con siderable nitrogen, and can be fed profitably in the ration. The most economical plan Is to grow them on the range ajid allow the birds to eat them off the roots. Carbohydrates and fat can best be secured from home or farm grown materials such as wheat and oats. Corn contains large amounts of car bohydrates as well as considerable fat. Carbohydrates are found in laree quantities in all grain and ce re i! crops. They are not as expensive to purchase as are protein nutriments, and a wider choice is available The minerals which can best be se cured are fish scrap and dry ground bone. Lime and phosphoric acid seems to lje the two most desirable forms of ash. Phosphoric acid not only builds up the bone structure but materially increases the value of foods red by making them more digestible An abundance of fresh, clean nure water should be kept before the'grow ng poultry at all times. In addition, if the proper growth is to be main tained, they should have access to a green growing crop. Permanent sod is best, but In the absence of this the range can be seeded to oats or buck wheat, which provides for a succulent tender feed. Table of Suitable Feeds The following table shows food ma terials which can be obtained at rea *onable and moderate prices. From this the feeder can mane up his own ration: e i-" 5 a* tr 2 n wn«ftt Brand ... 15.4 8.1 53.9 4.0 around Oat* .... 11.8 8.0 80.7 8.0 pßiiiisEiimimieiniginiiainHigiiutmiiiiiaiiiiiMg s '' 1 Under Roof j jj Twelve weeks ago this store was conducting business in 0 m that famous old building which in previous years possessed the ~ Z title of Harrisburg's finest hotel—"The Grand."

Now that wheat Is so expensive, due to the Kuropean demand, barley may be substituted In Its place, but the efficiency of the ra tion will be slightly changed by such a change. When planning the ingredients in the ration it must be remarked that variety is desirable. A ration con taining variety is much more palat able, and therefore the birds are In duced to eat a greater amount of it. Anything which will induce a greater consumption of food is an asset in the ration. It is desirable to avoid the use of too much fat. L.arge quantities of fat forming materials are not necessary during the summer. Furthermore, the use of too fatty foods tends to re strict the consumption of protein and ash. these two being very i-usentlal in the formation of bone and flesh, which is the object desired. Fatty foods are very desirable in finishing off broilers and roasters for market. Considerable quantities of such mate rial should be fed two or three weeks before killing. With these few gen eral remarks the following ration is recommended. Ration For Growing Poultry The most essential and economical method of feeding growing birds is by using dry mash, supplemented by cracked grain. The dry mash should be fed out of doors, in large feeding hoppers, which are made waterproof. It is possible to feed a part of the cracked grain in hoppers, but it is generally preferred to feed the grain broadcast over the range. The prac tice of hand feeding insures a certain amount of personal attention to the youngsters, which is necessary for the best results. In handling the growing stock, it is desirable to have a continuous uni form growth from the time the birds of Make 14 Fence Posts Good seven-foot posts that will never decay and not split, crack or break.

A check in this development due to improper environment or to improper feeding may retard the ulti mate development many weeks, which results in small birds and in a loss of vitality. It is profitable and impor tant to mature the pullet at the right time in the Fall, if a profitable win ter is to be secured. Broilers and roasters should be got in the best con dition of flesh in the shortest time that is consistent with normal health. The following dry mash is recom mended for the range: Wheat Brand .. 50 lbs. Gluten Feed 10 lbs. Corn Meal 10 lbs. Ground Oats 10 lbs. Meat Scrap 10 lbs. Granulated Bone 10 lbs. Total 100 lbs. The proportion of this mash can be varied slightly, depending on the con ditions of the range. If plenty of grass is available and the birds have an extended range, much of. the meat scrap may be eliminated. In addition to the above ration, a mixture of one part cracked corn anil one wheat should be fed twice a day, morning and night, broadcast about the range, only enough being fed so that the birds clean it up from one-half to three-quarters of an hour after feeding. The best development of flesh and bone in the growing birds requires a suitable ration, properly fed, and an ideal range where the birds can get succulent green food and sanitary surroundings. < \ Curtain Front House For Fifty Fowls H.
