"It must also insure the deliverance of Europe and the world from the nightmare which now envelops it." con tinued the minister, "and will not be gained unless those who have broken the peace of the world are made pow erless to renew their designs. We must t break off at the hilt the weapon of this ■ barbarous militarism which has been the mainspring of a horrible conspiracy against peace. That weapon is the Aus | tro-liungarian empire.

Urgent j need of financial assistance for Amer- I ican consular officers and clerical as sistants in Europe, obliged because! of the greatly increased cost of living since the war to pay three times or more normal peace time prices for foodstuffs and personal necessities, is shown in reports received daily by the State Department. Almost with- j out exception these show that what; was regarded before the war as an attractive compensation for consular employes to-day is scarcely sufficient i to provide fcod and the bare necessi- I ties. The 5150,000 allowance given by; Congress as a war fund to be distri buted to consular officers to meet in- : creased demands, has been allotted i and the department is now without means of extending further relief. No provision was made for the relief of clerks and other employes and except; for a few whose salaries have been I increased. no assistance has been given I this class and none is possible until Concress provides additional funds. ) Last year the department directed consular officials to report on the cost of living at their posts to determine de- j velopment of the increase. Estimates showed that the $150,000 would be' sufficient then to meet only from fifty to sixty per cent, of the actual in- j creased cost at all affected posts. i Department records show there are ! about 600 employes in the European' consular service whose salaries are! SI,OOO a year and less. In most in- ! stances, these are natives employed as ; clerks, stenographers or similar posi-' tions. whose expenses are naturally less than those of the American em- ! ployes. The number of Americans in ■ this grade of employment is estimated at about 150 and they feel most the: need of financial assistance. Estimates are being prepared of | amounts that will be needed to give the desired assistance to be submitted to Congress probably in December. Nowhere in the war zone has the cost of living not been affected, and i in some localities it has increased as much as six times what it was be- 1 fore the war.

FEEDING GROWING COI/TS In order that young draft colts may develop to the best advantage, they must be fed liberally through the win ter months. There is a tendency in some sections to feed colts too liberally on hay and restrict the grain to very small quantities. Such procedure is impractical, according to Dr. H. H. Havner, in charge of animal hus bandry extension at the Pennsylvania Slate College. Colts fed in this man ner show a stunted growth in the spring and big hay middles, which are difficult to reduce. Sucking colts, yearlings and two year-olds should be fed a liberal grain ration. The hay may be limited to one pound per 100 pounds live weight daily. A satisfactory grain ration rec ommended by the Pennsylvania State College is a mixture of three parts oats and two parts corn; with which a bran mash may be given once a week. 5
