GENERAL SHOT 1
; READY TO REPORT
HAB BEEN TO BORDER IN CON
i FERENCE WITH MEXICAN
LEADERS.
RETURNS TO WASHINGTON
Has Been Working For Bevsral Weeks
In Furtherance of Pan-Amerloan
Pesos Plana.
Washington.—Gen. Hugh L. Scott,
chief of staff of the army, returned to
Washington from tb* Mexican border,
where for several treks he has been
warklng in furtherance of the Pan-
American peace plans. He would not
comment on the results of his mission,
which he will discuss with Secretary
Lansing. " ,
General Scott's first mission on ar
rival at the border was to confer
with General Villa and settle difficul
ties arising from seizure of property
of foreign merchants at Chihuahua.
The General also discussed with Villa
the Pan-American convention pro
posal, which Villa and his followers
have accepted.
Slnoe then the nature of General
Scott's discussion has not been dis
closed. It Is reported that he tried
to get In communication with Gen
eral Obregon, General Carranxa's
chief In the field. Whether he sue-
M ceeded In this has not been learned.
Obregon, however, responding to the
Pan-American appeal, said that Car
rania's answer would be his.
It Is taken for granted here that
General Soott brought back a fund
of interesting Information. The chief
of staff has long been familiar with
conditions in Mexico, and Is person
ally acquainted with many military
leaders.
No disclosures have been made aa
„to the next step the Pan-Amerloan
conferees are planning with refer
ence to Mexico. There will be no
meeting until Carranza's reply to the
appeal for a peace conference has
been received. The conferees will
urge recognition of the Carrahxa gov
ernment. •

out these words at a crowd at the

London. —Brest-Litocsk, the main
Russian fortress and concentration
center for the Bog River line of de
fenses is now occupied by the Austro-
Oermans. While the Russians offered
stont resistance during the Invaders'
approach, it is apparent no attempt
was msde to defend Brest-Lltovsk it
self. It wss evacuated as was Osso
wetx, In conformity with the Russian
intention to taks up new positions
farther east.
Ths Osrmsas now ars in possession
of the whole line of railway from
Chelm to Blalystok. The Russians
having alrsady evacuated the latter
city, the lesser fortieses of Orodno

The Russians havs not yet entered

has a width of from 17 to 30 miles.
The forest Is a famous hunting cen

are the Pripet marshes, which protect
the Russian left and with plenty of
roads and three or four railroad lines,
it is expected hsrs Grand Duke Nicho

Orodno and Vllna can hold out long
enough. Even If they should fall,
mlllfkry observers say the Orand Duke
would be well on his way to his new

ECONOMICAL FEED FOB EWES
■
Circular Issued by Missouri Expert
ment Station Gives Results Ob
tained With Rye end Qraln.
The feeding of ewes suckling lambs
is a factor which materially affects
the profit derived from the produc
tion of spring lsmbs. A circular Just
issued by the agricultural experiment
station at the University of Missouri
reports the work done with ewee
suckling lsmbs, fed on rye and blue
grass pastures. Ewee were placed in
four lots. In one lot ewes received
grain on rye pasture. Those la aa
other lot received only rye pasture.
In a third lot the ewee were fed grain
on blue grass pasture, while thoee in
lot four received only blue grass pas
ture.
The grain for both ewes snd lambs
consisted of equal parts of crusted
corn, oats, bran and rape. The re
sults show that the feeding of grain
to ewes on rye and blue grass pasture
wss not profitable. If the ewee were
to be kept. If the ewee were to bp
marketed with the lambs, ths feeding
of grain would have been profitable,
because the ewes which did not re
ceive grain became very thin and
were not in condition to sell on the
market, while those receiving grain
maintained about the sams condition
of flesh throughout the experiment.
There waa little difference In the
efficiency of rye snd blus grass paa-,
tures for ewee suckling lambs. la
cases where grain waa fed, the ewee
on blue grass had decidedly tl)e ad
vantage, while In the other t#o lots
hsd the advantage. The difference in
each caae was email. Rye will come
a little earlier in the epring than blue
grass, but will not afford as good a
pasture in June ss blue grsss, because
the rye heads and the sheep do not
like coarse, woody stems.
