Xm, Tork. May 2.-—John Hatys
Hwnmosid, presiding at the opening
session of the World Court Congress,
In Carnegie Hall, today, expressed In
a single paragraph the dominant sen
timent of the. great Congress. Henri;,
applause greeted him when he said:
"America, because of her con
spicuous advocacy of peace, her Ir
reproachable rental luy. her com
manding position in finance, industry
and oommer.ee tynd, above all, because
of her cosmopolitan population, com
prising as it does such large numbers
racialH affMated with all ‘the warring
nations, is pre-eminently the nation,
the nation ordained by Providence,
to lend in this great movement for a
world eourt. it is her saered duty,
nine it be her glorious opportunity . •
iSthtr speakers, including William
Howard Taft, Oscar 8. Straus and
Mn-nr-t lem ral Pennant Wood, the
art mentioned* not announced on the
program. The speech of General
Wo, d was a surprise to the delegatus
who had come from every State in
the l.'ulon to attend the Congress. He
dwelt ,pon the necessity of prepared,
near ur.,1 was surprised in turn by
the i ntUuslasni with which the audi
ence v.-'totiti'J his advice.
This led former President Taft to
explain later:
Th« avowed pacificist, the man
who does not Sielleve a nation should
at any lime use armed force, cannot
consistently belong to either iho
World's Court Peague or to the league
to enforce peace. The plan of both
orgtui:ration“. provides for armed
f< i .• t o’ *'.>rc, the decisions of the
World i 'ourt "
Mole* Not Vegetarians.
Moles cat worms, not corn, according
to I>r. R. K Nationrs, r.oologtst of the
Kansas State Agricultural college.
Because moles make their runs atom?
rows of freshly planted corn and then
the com falls to come up. it Is the com
mon belief that the moles have eaten
it and are therefore responsible for the
poor stand of corn. The immediate
responsibility, I»r. Nabours points out,
rests on the mole's guests meadow
mice, white footed field mice and com
mon house mice. The mole runs fur
nlsh concealment and lines of traffic
for these small animals, which cannot
dig runways of their own. It has
t>een found by experiment that moles
eat earthworms, grubs, insects and
other animal life, but vegetable matter
scarcely at all. To avoid the damage
1t Is caster to kill the moles than the
mice, and thus destroy the lines of
traffic.
Fattening Hens.
The fundamental factor of success
fui fattening Is to keep the hen quiet.
This by Itself may cause an arcuixiu
latlon of fat, but in general practice
It Is customary to feed a greater ex
cess of fat in the ration than would
be given to ordinary layers. The rn
Pldlty of the process • would depend
upon the fat producing value of the
food and, the ability of thw bird to
Ottilxe the fat and keep up its vitality

cst Tension In Washington—King
of Spain .Way Act an Arbitrator.
Washington, May 2.—The German
reply to the United States has been
prepared and may actually be on the
wav to Washington. This was learned
today from an authoritative source
The reply proper is to be brief,
intimations of its contents have
reached Washington, and the two
most prominent features are expected
4-o—bfK
1 An admission that Germany will
conduct her submarine warfare in ac.
cnribtnco with the recognised rules
of international law.
2. An announcement that Germany
Is Willing and ready to discuss de
tails with the United States.
In addition. It Is believed that the
German reply will contain a lengthy
account of Urltlnh violations of In
ternational law, statement Of the preju
dicial effects of these upon German
Interests and an Invitation to this gov
ernment to use Its offices In an effort
to obtain a modification of British
naval practices so they will conform
to accepted rules of warfare.
I‘resident Wilson and the Cabinet
today discussed the German situation,
but only Informally. It is felt by the
I resident’s advisers that no serious
discussion can ha entered upon until
the note Is at hand and it Is seen Just
how far Germany will go In meeting
the demands of the President's note.
|M ai INUnUWII.
The suggestion In news dispatches
that the Gorman government may ask
the King of Spain to act as arbitrator
in settling the submarine dispute be
tween the T'nlted States and Ger
many stirred discussion in official cir
cles The State Department refused
comment on the grounds that the sug
gestion had not been officially pre
-ci.rued. ft was pointed out, however,
that the United States had rejected
earlier suggestions of arbitration when
they were put forth In the negotia
tions between Secretary Dansing and
fount von Bcrnstorff. The United
States agreed to arbitrate the Frye
case with Germany, but this related
to the sinking of an American vessel,
and no question of human life was
Involved.
One factor that has tended to re
lieve the tension over the submarine
issue is that there have been no cases
of illegal torpedoing by the German
.U-boats slneo the President's note
went to Germany.
Germany More Cautious.
Germany, it is believed in high
quarters here, has issued instructions
m her submarine commanders since
the receipt of the United States' note,
*. autlonlng them to use the utmost
; discretion In attacking vessels, in or
der that there, may be no recurrence
of incidents like those which this gov
ernment charges were in violation of
[international law.
The vagueness of many expressions
in the United States* note was re
garded as justifying an expectation by
, Germany that this government would
i’’6 favorably disposed to a discussion
of rujes and their applicability after
i he Impsrlai authorities had formally
! promised to observe the rules of ln
mrcaMcial law, which Is all that the
American government can properly
demand. After the receipt of the
German reply it would be left to dis
cussion between Secretary of State
Canning and Count von Bernstorff. the
German ambassador, acting under in
structions lYom hi, government, and
future acts of German submarines, to
determine if this government's de
mands had been compiled with satts
factorlly.
The German reply 1s expected here
not later than Thursday. An outline
of it probably will he received from
Ambassador Gvrard before the note
itself arrives.

Council Committee on Utilities last

water mains to connect the Country

They explained that the extension
would Anally revert to the city, with
out cost, when that district Is annexed,
It was shown that suburbanites, all

the city, were practically citizens, and
that whatever were given in the way
of extension would produce revenue
i to the city. ,

It waxed warm here yesterday. Do.
j spite the fact that a special dispen- |
nation of the weather bureau an- |
nounced Saturday that the weather |
this week would continue cool, the |
1 prophet blundered and Richmond j
took the pennant for high record dur- j
ink the day. It might have been due j
to air presaure or the hundred and
one other things the bureau deala in. I
But whatever was the cause, it came j
with a strong sunshine and the peo
ple sweltered.
Richmond had a maximum tern-1
epratur© of *6 degrees, with clear i
skies and light winds. It was regular 1
June tveather. Atlantic City, Mont- !
gomery, Norfolk, Raleigh. Tampa and j
Washington followed in the high
class with Richmond. But Richmond '
went two degrees higher than any
other city in the nation, out of thirty
five weather stations located In every
part of the United States.
Norfolk and Raleigh came next to
Richmond, each city registering 84
degrees as highest temperature. The
weather did some queer tricks. For
Instance, though the territory em
bracing Richmond, Norfolk and Ra
leigh was at high mark, the Wythe
ville station, In Virginia, only regis
tered 74 degrees. Tampa and Wash
ington had each a maximum tempera
ture of 82 degrees, while Savannah
registered only 7 8 degrees. In Balti
more and Washington and St. Rouis
rain fell.
In Denver It was 42 degrees maxi- ,
mum. In Buffalo It was only 50, i
while New York got 76 degrees. All;
over the map the temperature ranged !
from high to low. scattering high and [
low records In careless confusion.
It was about the hottest day here
that Richmond has had this spring.
SURPRISES COME FAST:

The laugh was on others than Mr.
Ford when George Rogers’ cock tight
was staged, after a walk of nearly a
mile and a half to the "pit.” Both
cocks were of brass—the every-day
type of water faucets.
Introduced to lUchmoTtd Chickens.
Before the club was left behind Dr.
Parker and Preparedness John K
Fowler presided over the serving of
dessert and cherry sinah. "Has every
lone been served?" was the query by
Dr. Parker, which drew' the answer,
"He has,” from several Carolinians
j in chorus.
The chatter and laughter and other
expressions of good feeling was so
great when Tom McAdams, president
of the local club, tried to make a
j speech that few heard. Those who

These doing commenced when vis

Marks won, according to the holder
of the stop watch in one hour and
twenty-three seconds, by “cutting"

One man who didn’t see the finish
was H. M. Miller, of Roanoke, who

Immediately after the first Inning
the Wilmington, N. C„ delegation,
twenty-three strong, led by Roger
Moore, and with Horace Bpringcr as
color bearer, made a patriotic demon
stration. "America First; Wilmington j
Next" was the legend borne on a long :
banner carried by three men. The i
Wllmlngtonlans were dressed in long
gowns ,ot red. white and blue, and

DAIRY and
CREAMERY
RULES FOR CHURNING.
fntoresting Information on tho Art of
Making Good Butter.
There Is a great deal iuor>‘ churn
ing than simply turning the crank and
stopping when the butter cornea. So
says A. R. Nystrom of the Washing
ton experiment station, and he gives
some interesting rules which should
save a lot of labor and. besides, give
better butter. The correct tempera
ture is important, so. first, get a good
dairy thermometer.
Fifty five degrees F. is considered a
low churning temperature and 65 de
grees a high onp.
Use a low churning temperature—
When the cream is very sour.
When it is very rich.
When the fat globules in the cream
are soft, due to the soft feeds and
grass.

Professor C. H. Ecklea of the
University of Missouri describes
the Jersey as follows: "A good
Jersey cow Is the model of what t»
generally taught to be the dairy
form. She has pronounced wedge
shape, an immense barrel for her
size, a veil developed udder and
does not carry a pound of superflu

The breed Is \ery prepotent when

perature Is likely to rtse while churn
ing.
Use n high churning temperature—
When the cream Is rather sweet.
When the cream is thin.
When the fat globules are hard, due
to dry feeds.
During cold weaklier.
When butter comes in from thirty to
forty minutes thst Is a sign of correct
temperature. Hotter should always
form In granules. If it comes In soft
lumps the churning temperature has
been too high. This mnkes the butter
grensy. hard to wash, and It spoils
quickly because of the buttermilk that
wasn't washed out.
Too low a temperature will cause
slow churning and a brittle texture, i
but these faults are less serious than
the others. Turn the churn Just fast!
enough to get the greatest amount of
concussion. To do this consider the
amount of cream In the churn and its
condition. Sweet cream, especially If
it Is rich, tends to foam nnd stick to
the churn. In that case turn alowly ao i
as to give the cream plenty of time to
fall.
Next to the chum Itself a good cream
separator Is the most Important utensil
In a farm dairy because It gives you s
smooth, fresh, uniform cream.

Mr. Carson was positive that this
location would he most acceptable to j
