Great Britain Still Baa
Confidence in Naval Power
-
London The British government,
while regretting its naval losses dur
ing the war, is apparently in no fear
that its predominance in number of
fighting craft will be threatened ser
iously. "Britain can lose a superdread
naugbt every month for 12 month
without a single loss to the enemy,"
aid Winston Spencer Churchill, first
lord of the admiralty. In the bouse of
commons, "and yet be in as good a po
sition of superiority ss she wss st the
outbreak of the war."
Mr. Churchill declined to discuss
such topics aa the naval engagement
off Heligoland, the destruction of the
British cruisers Monmouth and Good
Hope off the coast of Chile and the
British naval expedition in Antwerp
prior to the fall of the Belgian for
tress, asserting such discussion would
ba profitless until he wa able to re
veal all the facts. Instead, he went

. Peace Talk Denounced.
Berlin, via London The Cologne
Gazette declares that the report of
a German desire for peace, which it
says are probably inspired by the
British, belong to the "region of
higher political idiocy." "The posi
tion of the Germans, neither in the
East nor West," it continues, "is crit
ical. German military undertakings on
all the battlefield are progressing fa
vorably. Neither the military nor the
political situation contain any reason
which might make Germany desirous
to conclude peace."
Italian Accuse France.
Berlin Dispatches appearing in
Italian newspaper are to the effect
that molestation of Italian shipping by
the French is a part of a systematic
plan of the French to divert the mari
time trade of Genoa ' to Marseilles.
Word come from Rome that in North
ern Italy there is much feeling against
England, many foundries being closed
because of the seizure of copper and
lesd. British imports in October, ac
cording to Roma reporta, decreased 40
per cent, and the exports 60 per cent,
as compared with last year.
Germani'Sag No Change.
Berlin An official announcement
given out in Berlin says :
"English ship did not, attack the
coast of Flanders again Friday. There
hava been no actual change along tba
battle front in the western arena. To
the north of Lang-em arck, w hava
taken a group of house and made a
number of prisoners. Our attack in
the Argonne region has made further
progress. French attacks in the neigb
feorbood of Apremont were repulsed."

mand. Prices sre 40 60c. Hothouse
leaf lettuce is no longer one of the
leading vegetable staples as In days
gone by. It has been a drug on the
market this season. Crate lots are
selling at 40050c. The improved qual
ity of California head stock haa prac

which participated in the conference.
The United States and Germany are
among the power which have recorded
their acceptance of the declaration.
while Great Britain ba not taken this
action.
One article of tha declaration pro
vide that it ahall be binding aa be
tween belligerent power only on those
by which it ha been ratified.
Soon after the. outbreak or the
European war it became evident that,
while they recognised in a general
way the spirit of the declaration, some
of the belligerent power intended to
insist on great modifications of im
portant details, basing their action on
the fact that they had not formally
ratified the convention.
Since the declaration wa in fact a
compromise between the extreme
view of the several governments,
which participated in the conference,
a high official here pointed out that it
would have been neither just nor fstr.
in the opinion of the government, to
consent to any modification without
the agreement of all parties.
The State department felt obliged
to withdraw from its adherence to the
declaration, even before the German
protest waa received.
It is said, however, that the Ger
man position that the Briusn nave
violated the spirit of the declaration
of London by seizing and detaining
food supplies carried in neutral bot
toms and consigned to German porta.
directly or indirectly, is recognized by
the United States officials a sound.
Convict Demands Wage.
Providence R. L Arguments on the
constitutionality of the law authoriz
ing the state to mske contracts celling
the labor of prisoners without com
pensating them were heard before the
Rhode Island Supreme court. On the
ground that such enforced servitude
on the part of a prisoner is slsvery and
that the state constitution prohibits
slavery without making an exception
against convicts, the national commit
tee on prison labor is pressing the suit
against s garment company which
holds a contract for prisoners' labor.
Clergy Want to Battle.
Berlin The Evangelical clergymen
of Berlin and its suburbs have signed a
declaration against the military de
cree which says that student clergy
men, ordained, or clergymen who have
been pensioned msy not be celled to
arms. In their protest the clergymen
declare this decree cannot be justified
and is sn insult to them. All other
classes and professions have the honor
of being able to fight for their country
and they wouled do likewise. They
ars going to petition the reicbstsg to
revoke the decree.
Trade Balance Crowe.
Washington, D. C Exports at the
principal ports, which handle 80 per
cent of that business, totaled $89,217,
637 for the week ended November 21,
as against imports . of $24,834,124,
leaving a trade balance of more than
114,000,000 in favor of the United
SUte for the week and bringing th
trad balance for th month to more
than $46,000,000.

but by other who are reckless to the
point of seeming to delight In taking
chances
Many kind of oils hsre been used
for spraying Insect pest, some of
which hsre proved reliable and others
Injurious. Kerosene oil can be used
on some plants under certain condi
tion without causing Injury, while In
other cases it will kill them. Wa have
seen quite a few shade trees killed
by spraying with kerosene and water
to exterminate woolly aphis; tba on
soaked into the bark, reached the
cambium and sapwood, destroying the
tissue.
Gas oil. a heavy oil used In the
manufacture of water gas, la very In
lurtous to trees wbn used aa a spray
A few years ago several hundred
shade trees wero severely injured In
one of the eastern cities by spraying
the trunks with this oil to kill clusters
of gipsy moth eggs, it being used with
out anv knowledge whatever of Its
adaptability to this purpose.
Ordinary house paint has some
times been used on smooth-bark trees
with great Injury.
Occasionally commercial oils used
for soraylng fruit tree for the San
Jose scale cause local Injury, and
some shade trees have been known to
be affected by their use.
Oils and other material to keep
down the dust In roadbeds are now
much In use, and we have observed
some Injury from this source, when
the trees were located close to the
highway and the buttresses of the
roots were exposed.
Salt used on sidewalks. In gutters
and trolley lines in winter has been
known to injure the root systems of
trees. Arsenate of soda, potassium
cyanide and other chemicals sre ex
tremely poisonous to trees and will
cause death.'

Assuming that one man and three

16 acre in ten hour, we deduce that
cost of labor per acre I 30 cents.
As against these Items tot us sup
pose that the farmer could hlr the

The above data give u th conclu
sion, by elementary algebra that a
man should cut an average of 6S acre
