Depart ment headf, although without official advices on tha aubject, wera keenly Interested In a Roma dispatch aaylng tha Italian cruiser Calabria at Beirut, Syria, had been Instructed to eo op erate with the American cruiser North Carolina In protecting refugoea on the Syrian court. Secretary Daniel cabled the dis patch to Captain Oman, of the North Carolina, at Beirut and to Captain Decker, of the cruiser Tennessee, which left Jaffa, taking a load of refugees to Alexandria. Mr. Daniels also repeated hla re quest for Information from the crui ser commander concerning a recent Athens dispatch announcing that the North Carolina had threatened to fire on Tripoli, Syria, when the Tur kish authorities sought to prevent the departure of British and French con suls and their nationals on an Am erican steamer.

BETTER CARROXHYDRATE SUPPLY IN DAIRY RATION OREGON AGRICULTURAL COL LEGE. Corvalll. Ore.. Dec. 29. That more grain feeds supplying car vonhydratea should enter Into the ra tions of the Willamette valley dairy cow. Is the belief of Professor R. R. Graves, head of the O. A. C. dairy de partment. "A complete winter ration contains roughage such as hay, succulent feeds and a grain mixture," says Professor Graves. "Roughage Is most satisfactorily supplied by feeding either oat and vetch hay or clover hay In the larg est amounts that the cowa will clean up well. "A good succulent feed Is compos ed of corn silage and kale, fed at the rate of 10 to 15 pounds of allage and 25 or 30 pounds of kale per day. "The grain mixture may consist of rolled oats and rolled barley, equal parts by weight. The grain should be fed at the rate of one pound of the mixture to every three and a half pounds of milk per day produc ed by Jerseys, and one pound of the mixture to each four or four and a half pounds of milk produced by Ayreshlres, Hoktclns or Shorthorns." FRANCE REANNEXES PART OF ALSAC'E TAUIS, Dec. 29. It Is not often that a simple notice of the postoffice has the value of a historical docu mentthe appeal of a bugle call. Both that value and that appeal are found by every Frenchman In i placard affixed in the chief postof flees in France, that henceforward letters to 21 communes in Alsace will require only a 10 centime stamp. "That Is to say that after 44 years of cruel waiting," to use General Jof fre's words, these 21 communes form a part In administrative fact, as al ways In Imagination and sentiment, of the soil of France.

United States consuls In Belgium must be ac ceptable to the German military au thorltles, and the withdrawal of some now there, for the present at least, Is denlred by the Berlin government This was made known In a formal notification to the department of state. Secretary. Bryan declined to make public the text of the German com munlcatlon or to comment on It un til he has had full opportunity to con sider It. The underntanding In offl clal circles Is that the notice Is slml lar to the one sent Argentina and other neutral countries. Military Permit to Act Is Edict. It Is said that while the German government does not insist that con suls in Belgium take out new exequa iurs irom uerman orncers, it an nounces that such consuls niunt exer else their functions only by permls slon from the military In control of the territory In which the consulates are situated. The United States has consular rep resentatives In Brussels. Antwerp. Liege and Ghent. Since the war be gan, they have had little work of the ordinary character, their activities having been devoted largely to look- ng after refugees and aiding In re lief work. Military Necessity Is Basis. The request for the withdrawal of certain consuls Is said to be entirely impersonal, and to be based on the law of military necessity, which re cognizes the right of a military offl cer In command of occupied territory to dictate absolutely the amount and extent of civil business and the man ner In which it shall be conduced In thnt territory. OLDEST MASON IS CALLED BY DEATH IN UNION COUNTY LA GRANDE PIONEER, LIVES IN SAME HOUSE 40 YEARS WAS WELL KNOWN. LA GRANDE, Dec. 29. Death last night ended the career of one of Union county's earliest settlers when Arthur Warnlck, aged 78, succumbed to a protracted Illness. Mr. Warnlck was not only one of the first settlers In the county, having come here In 18(3, but he enjoyed the distinction of being the oldest member of the Masonic lodge in this city. He was made a Mason In 1817, before the charter was granted to this city, and he lacked, therefore, but a few years In having served a half century In the one order. Mr. Warnlck died In the home In vhlch he has lived for nearly a half century. Lee Warnlck, city recorder, and Miss Mary Warnlck, both of this city, survive the deceased, and a brother and a sister in New York al so survive. His wife died about 12 years ago after a prolonged Illness. The funeral services will be held Wednesday afternoon at 2 o'clock from the home, with the Masonic lodge In charge. Arthur Warnlck was born In Port Jackson, N. Y., August 1st, 1838. He spent his boyhood days In Amsterdam N. Y., and started west, crossing the Isthmus In 1863. He spent the rest of his life in this city. In 1870 he married Mattle McDowell, and two children were born to them. Many years ago Mr. Warnlck own ed a valuable trotting horse and was well versed In well-bred horses. His occupation was bookkeeping, at which he was an expert. NICKEL IN THE SLOT TO GET A RAINCOAT FATETTEVILLE, Ark., Dec. 29. The raincoat has taken Its place along side the egg sandwich, chewing gum and Insurance policies placed before the public in vending machines. The man who drops his nickel for a pack age of gum to aid in the digestion of his nickel in the slot meal, and then pays a quarter to another ma chine for a policy insuring him against the consequences may soon get a raincoat from an adjacent ma chine as a result of the ingenuity of Miss Elizabeth Galbralth, head of the art faculty of the University of Ar kansas. Miss Galbralth has obtained letters patent on a paper raincoat, said to be waterproof. She plans to manufacture the coats In large quan tities and distribute them in special ly devised vending devices. COliORARO TEACHERS TO BECOME CLIMATE SHARPS GBEELEY.

Treatment of American shin Ac corded by EnglUh Meet With Din favor Here DriiMi Policy la AU tacked Diplomatic Nolo Iued Oiling for Improvement, WASHINGTON, Dec. 29. The United States government dispatched a long note to Great Britain, Insist ing on early improvement in the treatment of American commerce by the British fleet. It gave warning that public criticism was general over unwarranted interference with the legitimate foreign trade of the United States. The document, constituting the strongest representation on this sub ject made by the United States to any of tHe belligerents since the out break of the war, was cabled to Am bassador Page to be formally present ed to Sir Edward Grey, British for elgn secretary. Its preparation was begun a month ago by Solicitor Cone Johnson, Coun selor Lansing and Secretary Bryan and finally had the personal atten tion of President Wilson, who revised Its phraseology with minute care. Subject Covered Fully. As the detailed point of view of the United States In numerous spe clflc cases of detentions and seizures of cargoes had been set forth In a series of emphatic protests, most of which have gone unheeded, yester day's communication was couched in general terms, covering the entire subject of the relations between the United States ond Great Britain as affected by the latter's naval policy, considered highly objectionable by this government. Since France has adopted practical- y the same decrees on contraband as has Great Britain, yesterday's note is virtually a statement Intended for all the members of the triple enten te. The note declares at the outset that the representations are made In a friendly spirit, but that the United States considers It best to speak In terms of frankness, lest silence be construed as an acquiescence In a pol icy which Infringed the rights of Am erican citizens under the laws of na tions. British Held Responsible The document points out that com plaints on every side and public criticism In the United States hold the British policy as directly respon sible for the depression In many Am erlcan industries, a situation the serl ousness of which must be apparent to Great Britain. Reimbursement alone for cargoes unlawfuly detained or seized. It atates. does not remedy the evil ,as the chief difficulty. Is the moral ef fect of British practice on American exporters who are restrained by It from taking risks or hazards which In no case ought to surround legiti mate trade between the United States and other neutral countries. Feeling has been aroused on the subject to such an extent, the com munication adds, that the Anu-rlcan Government feels compelled to ask for definite Information as to Great Britain's attitude, In order that it may tak such measures as will pro tect American citizens In their rights. United Rtntew Txme Patient. The United States. It points out, was patient at first, realizing that the unexpected outbreak of hostilities had heaned a mass of burdens on the British government, and, thinking an early clearing of the air would come. Five months have now elapsed, the note asserts with no Improvement In the situation. , In the meantime, American ship pers have availed themselves of vari ous suggestions from the British gov. ernment. euch as shipping cargoes to definitely named consignees In neu tral countries, and the taking out of certificates from consuls in this coun try, which followed promises of the British foreign office that the allied fleets consequently would cease de tentions of these cargoes. The situa tion, howeer, Is described as having barely Improved after these conces sions. References Is made In the note to the high principles of equity which have actuated Great Britain In her championship In the past of the free dom of the seas to neutral commerce and the hope Is expressed that even though a belligerent herself, she will realize the seriousness to the neutral of continued interference. Abaoluto Contraband Refined. Reserving until some other date the discussion-of those articles which Great Britain has. taken from the generally accepted lists of non-con traband, and placed on the lists of absolute nnd conditional contraband, the American government declares that tho British fleets have been re garding absolute nnd conditional con traband bs In the same class, where as international law defines absolute contraband as consisting of those ar ticles intended directly for the use of an army or navy, and conditional con. traband, those products susceptible of use by armed forces but whose destination must be the determining factor In detentions, The American note, mentioning that foodstuffs are conditional con traband since they may be destined for the use of a civil population as well as nn army, says the United States Is in entire agreement with the s doctrine expressed by Lord Salisbury, 5 British foreign secretary. In his cor- 5 respondence with the Washington! government concerning the shipment! S of foodstuffs to the Transvaal during!" tho Boer war In South Africa. Lord, 5 Salisbury wrote "Foodstuffs with a hostlla destlnn-iS tlon can bo considered contraband of.S war only if they are supplies for the enemy's force. It is not sufficient that they are capable of being so used; it must be shown that this was In fact, their destination at the time of seizure." Broad in Statement Made, This is perhaps the broadest dec laration of the American note. If It were accepted by Great Britain, Am erlcan trade with Germany and Aus tria, virtually at a standstill no would be resumed. Including wheat flour, livestock and other foodstuffs. Taking up the aubject of American ships at sea, the Washington govern ment states that It cannot tolerate undue delays In examining them or the convoying of such ships to Brit ish ports for detailed examination. It argues that proof of hostile destlna tlon of the cargo must be evidence at the time of search at sea. The belligerent right of search, the note adds. Is fully recognized, but it can not be extended to the point of di verting American ships Into belliger ent ports merely on suspicion. The United States asserts that It views with growing concern the de- I tention of scores of American cargoes consigned from this country to neu tral ports, contending that It should be the duty of the belligerent to pro tect neutral commerce and prevent In nocent merchants from suffering.

W PROJECT SETTLERS AT B IIS OIl PLEASED OVER RAILROAD GIFT NORTHERN PACIFIC COMPANY MAKES CONCESSIONS AM OUNTING TO 125,000. AH Contract Holders la Good Stand ing Will lie Relieved of Furtlw lament Ilcsult Will Bo Dercl opinent of Seeral Hundred Acres of New Land TU Spring. HERMISTON, Ore., Dec. 29 (Special.) What amounts to a New Tear's gift of $25,000 was received by about 49 settlers on the Umatilla project today from the Northern Pa cific railroad company. In other words, all contract holders in good standing will be relieved of further payments, provided they have paid certain amounts, recommended by the project engineer and that they will comply with the requirements of the department of the interior as to cultivation and reclamation. The am ounts unpaid vary from $500 to $1000 on each contract and make a total of something over $25,000 which the railroad company will give its con tract holders who are in good stand ing. This action has been brought about largely by the efforts of the project engineer and the reclamation service. Mr. Newell convinced the railroad com Dan y that the original price or the land was too high and that such prices and the Interest on the defer red amounts was too much of a han dicap to the settler and was retarding development. The railroad company has othr land both here and under the West Extension and la desirous of their development and was therefore willing to encourage its older custo mers. The result will be the development of several hundred acres of new land here the coming spring. Half of ev ery tract must be improved in some permanent crop by October SI, 1915. when, on satisfactory proof, deed will be Issued. In two cases, those of W. T. Sellers and Henry Ott, deeds win be Issued at once as they have their places well Improved. The am ounts from which each one Is reliev ed. at once Is $750, and both men are today wearing smiles four times as big. Amonar the contract holders who are benefited In Pendleton are G. M. Rice, J.

PUT INTO FULL EFFECT OrtEOON AGRICULTUBAL COL LEGE, Corvallls, Ore. Doe. 29 The Oregon Pure Seed U Is to be put Into full and Immediate effect," said Professor If. D. Scudder, chairman of the State Pure Seed Board and In charge of the seed testing laboratory at the agricultural college, "and alt seed dealers throughout the stats should take notice that beginning with the new year their stocks Wilt be Inspected by the state commlslon. er's office and the provisions of the law will be actively enforced. It Is also felt by the board that since the laws are designed to protect the far mer from Inferior seed, farmers and the general public should cooperate In all ways possible, and especially by notifying the commissioner's of fice whenever seed stock Is offered for sain without being property labeled, both as to purity and grn!mtlon qualities. In essence the seed law la as follows: "Every package of seed of one pound or more In weight that Is ex posed for sale within the borders of the state of Oregon must be correct ly labeled with the name of the seeds, man. the name of the seed, and the purity and germination thereof; and further that no seed containing cer tain noxious weeds, such as dorrer, Canada thistle and the like, can be sold at all In Oregon. "With the seed law actively enforc ed Oregon will cease to be a dumping ground for inferior agricultural seeds that are not salable in any of the ad joining states all of which have seed laws. Further, the reputable seedsman that wishes to do nothing but an honest business will not be compelled to compete with low grade inferior, cheap seed, which Is never cheap at any price. And most im portant of all. the farmer will not buy this Inferior seed without know ing that It is Inferior. "The result will be not only a more prosperous and desirable busi ness for the seed dealer, but an In crease of hundreds of thousands of dollars annually In the farmers' In comes, through the use of better seeds" Clearwater Bridge Open.
