"Among tho numerous military achievements the capture of the earth works at Ueascjour was not tho least brilliant. Our colonial Infantry, to whom this honor Is due, gave proof In this fighting of a determination and a spirit of sacrifice worthy of its glorious traditions." JAPAN AND CHINA GET TOGETHER rCICING. China, March 11. At a conference In Peking today between representatives of Japaneso and China concerning the demands made upon China by Japan and presented at Peking shortly after the Japanese occupation of Klao-Chow, the Jap anese delegates showed a concilia tory attitude. They mado sllgjit concessions from the letter of their demands as previously presented. A compromise was reported In the matter of the railroad and mining concessions In South Manchuria, but It was agreed that Japan should the preference In future railroad loans and tho right to prospect for mines for a fixed jsrlod and operate a large proportion ;of the mining properties so discovered. THE SILO AS AF E There Is produced every ear In this country sufficient forage to feed liberally all the live stock of the land, and leave a good balanco besides. Tho shortage of supplies each year Is duo to tho spoiling and wastlnf of forage already grown, and the means of preserving this forage will salve the stock problem of tho country. The principal waste Is now going on with the corn plant. As economic stock production is determined by tho propor use of forage, the silo -furnishes a means whereby all farm forago can bo preserved and placed In the best possible condition for feeding. The silo is too well known to require a description of this meth od, but its uso Is certainly sadly wanting. It can be safely said, on any farm where. 10 head or more of cattle are kept, a silo is a proper equipment, and of great economic value. Hesldes corn, excellent sllago may ho mado fiom alfalfa, clover, oats 'and peas, ro, sorghum, kaf fir-corn, Inlllet and mllo maUe. The first cut ting of alfaUa hay during a wet sca Hon is often lost. This could be put In the silo and saved, and by feeding out during tho summer mouths, the 'silo cau be refilled in the fall with corn and kafflr-corn. In recent years there has boen a steady Increaso in tho price of hay, in Tact all forage has commanded a very high price, 'and It lu necessary for the stock keeper to produce a forago at less money than hay, If ho wishes to realize u good profit on his stock. In this capaclt) the silo cornea as a great boon. EIGHTEEN LOSE LIVES IN SPANISH WRECK MAINUI), March 11.

The discontinuance of operations nlonn the Nieinen river makes it pos sible for the Germans to .send n Inojc number of troops from this distiiet tn reinfoicc the men ndvnncinu from Knrjile in the general direction of Mlnrn and Przasnysz. This Irons fer, as usual, lias been effected with lighlnin-likc speed by means of the Gennnn railrouTls, nnd the forces in this neighborhood have been further augmented by drafts of the new 1915 recruits. Having accomplished n re grouping of the forces nnd leaving only enough men in the Augustowo district to protect tho left flank of the Gennnn nnnv besieging Osnwetr, an important bnttle already is under way on a long front paralleling the Xnrew river. One of the Germnn motives of this new alignment of forces undoubtedly is to strengthen their position before Ossonetz. In the absence of official information concerning Ossowetz, it is assumed thnt this engagement go ing on without n decision having been reached. Furthermore it is not im probable that in the near future the battlefield in the vicinitv of Przns- nysz again will become the scene of new conflicts. jtfNK.U', Alaska. March 11.
