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

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.

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:

Any or all of these materials can be
fed to growing chicks economically
and successfully. 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

are put on range in the Spring until
they are taken off the range in the
Fall. 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.
