GREEKS READY FOR DRIVE France and Germany Negotiating for an Economic Entente United States and Japan Approaching a Friendly Settlement of All Their Disputes. By EDWARD W. PICKARD. Premier Lloyd George, talking to the Welsh Presbyterian treneral as. sembly, admits that he is disappointed 1.U1IUU11UU ui nit; League of Nations, some of the peo ples of the world insist on fighting, "and because the spirit of national hatred, greed and pride is as domi nant as ever, notwithstanding the les sons of the late, war. He says he is sUll all for the league, but fears that, unless public opinion in all civilized nations is better Instructed, the league will become a tbreeding ground of in trigues and feuds which might lead to the greatest conflict yet witnessed. Some small nations that have been liberated, says the prime minister, seem to have been rendered fiercer by -feeing chained so long, and they ap-' parently do not fear the interference of the league nor have they any re spect for Its decisions. In this Lloyd George undoubtedly was alluding to the sx-oies, ana tne situation in Upper Sl :iesia justifies his feeling. The Ger- ;man defense forces there decline to let rgo of the ground they hold and reject the plan for a neutral zone unless ft 'be created in territory which the Poles -control. The Insurgent,'. Poles; though - they have been retiring-before the ad vance of the British troops, are said to be leaving a well armed force of civilians in thpir - "" "icai AJIIIUIII is blaming France forj'continued fail ure to co-operate" in the restoration of order in Silesia.

Greeks permission ' to operate their Brusa front from Gallipoll and to blockade the whole of Asia Minor on the Black sea as far east as Batum. The latter measure has been adopted because of the expectation that the Russians will try to send troops and supplies to the Turks by water. The Bolshevik! have considerable naval forces on the Black sea, and a naval conflict is not nnlikely. The British have notified the Turk ish nationalists that If they attempt to capture Constantinople Great Brit ain will declare war on them.

The British Imperial conference which is in session in London thif week, planned to take up almost thr first thing the matter of renewing the Angio-japanese treaty.

It has been told repeatedly that antl-hog-chol- era serum is not a cure ; its use is primarily intended as a advantage: OF VALLEY LANDS Dairy Industry Would Become More Profitable if Cows of Greater Pro ductive Capacity Were Intro duced by Farmers. agent against cholera, and as such' it is universally recognized as the only reliable treatment. While the serum seem ?ly has had some favorable ef fect when administered to sick hoes (Prepared by the United States DeDart- ment of Agriculture.) That the size of the farm has-much to do with the success of the owner is shown by results of a survey conduct ed by the United States Department of Agriculture in five counties in the south and southeastern Ozark region of Missouri.

R is believed in Londoi diplomatic circles' that the auestio: may be finally solved by the forma tion of a Pacific triple entente Grea Britain, the United States and Japan Armenia. King Constantine himself has been in Smyrna and made prepa rations to go intd the battle zone. Kemai Pasha must defeat the Greeks again in order to retain his leadership of the nationalists, accord ing to stories from Turkey. Enver Pasha is his rival and if he can sup plant Kemal he will be given full -support by the Russian Bolshevists, since he has promised to set up a soviet state in Turkey, a thing which Kemal has refused to do. Over in Siberia matters are still rather confused. The anti-Bolshevists retain -control of Vladivostok, and the soviet Russians are threatening Ja pan because, they assert, the Japanese troops disarmed the Bolshevists in the city. This Japan explains by assert ing that both parties were disarmed because the Japanese commander would tolerate no fighting in the zone of occupation. The Far East republic of Siberia, with headquarters at Chita, has decided to adhere to the soviet government of Russia. So "Moving further east on the world mark nna ffnlQ annntlir ni . - cuuujr uuyicasiiut con ditions and prospects, both on the 1 Russian border and in Turkey. With "the coming of summer soviet Russia feas regained its cockiness. In the councils of the leaders, It is reported, Ienin and others who were Inclined lo relative conservatism were out voted and Trotzky and his fellow radi cals were given their way. If dis patches from that part of the world are to be believed, their way will lead to another great attempt to invade and sovletize the countries on Rus sia's western borders, and already 'huge .armies are being massed for the -enterprise. These troops are wMl drilled, often by former German offl- cers, and have ample supplies of arms, ammunition and food.. Their morale Is said to be fair, owing to the care given them and their families by the government. ' In what used to be the Turkish em pire, both the Turkish nationalists and "the Bolshevists are so active that the allies .are becoming alarmed. This is .-evidenced by the change of their atti tude toward the warfare whlQb. the Greeks are carrying on agalast the Turks. Kmg Constantine, who was toeing left to do the best he could alone, now Is receiving some encour agement and indirect aid. .The Brit ish, for iMtance, have taken over the ismid defenses, thus releasing a con siderable body of Greek troops to take Part In tL new offensive which will ncne ty the Greeks before long. Also the allies have g'un the much for the warlike risnwts Now for the other side. Two nations that have been deadly enemies, and two that many have feared might be come such, are moving toward a friendly adjustment of their differ ences. The first case is that of France" and Germany, and though it may be too much to expect that they soon will love each other, at least it appears they are likely soon to resume amicable business relations. This is the result of a conference at Wels- baden between M. Loucheur, French minister of liberated regions, and Dr. Walter Rathenan, German minister of reconstruction. Both these men are exceedingly wealthy industrial mag nates and they , debated for three days over an economic entente between their countries. They finally reached an agreement Jor submission to their respective governments, the main points of which are that Germany un dertakes, and France permits, the re building of the destroyed areas in France; and that France undertakes to provide the German industrial sys tem 'with adequate supplies of iron from the Briey basin now occupied by French troops. Kearly nine-tenths of the iron de posits of the old German empire are in the Briey basin, and the Germans expect, if they can get the ore from there, that their now idle factories in the Ruhr and elsewhere will ' be re opened and that they will soon be able to fill the markets of the world with goods of German make offered at low prices. This of course would be most painful to British trade, and it is said the prospect of a rapproche ment between France and Germany on the terms stated is viewed with alarm in Great Britain. The house of representatives, as was expected, adopted the Porter resolution declaring war with Ger many and Austria terminated. Tin vote was 305 to 61, 49 Democrats join Ing the Republicans on the final rol" call. The senate absolutely refuse to accept this substitute for the Kno: resolution, and the prospects were ex cellent for a long deadlock in confer ence.

In Fanners' Bulletin 834 (revised) attention Us called to the fact that the serum is Jmost efficacious when admin istered a"? a preventive. "While the serum is , regarded as most efficacious when administered as a preventive," the. bullejin points out, "it seems to have some curative value, provided it is administered when hogs are In the very early stages of the disease. But very little benefit can be expected from thel treatment of hogs that are visibly sick." j "Serunpr should be used with the un derstanding that it Is a preventive rather than a curative agent." "It haa been stated tha serum alone has some value In treating sick hogs. This Is true within a certain limitation. Ordi narily It is efficacious only in the very early stage of the disease, before the hogs shojf visible signs of sickness." In a bulletin issued recently by Dr. R.' C. Rejed, chief of animal industry. - Diplomatic settlement of the vari F questions pending between, the lilted States and Japan, . without the necessity of submitting ,any of them to the council of the League of Na tions or any other International body,' Is near at hand, according to Wash ington dispatches. Secretary; of State Hughes, and Ambassador Shldehara have been negotiating to this : end, treating the disputes as an integral problem. If an agreement is reached, it is understood, the cable privileges on Yap will be internationalized, though Japan may still control the Island under her mandate. The basis for settlement, of the immigration Is sue probably will be 1 that of a strict exclusion of the Japanese la boring class and adequate protection' for Japanese property rights already acquired in the United States. It Is believed Japan will promise to get out Despite charges that the house Ml for regulation of the packing Industr; was drafted by attorneys for the pack rs, the senate, by a vote of 37 to 34 substituted that measure for the mor drastic bill recommended by the sen ate committee on agriculture. Tin letln 941, entitled "Farm Management in the Ozark Region of Missouri." is based on the study of the organization and management of 79 farms, 11 of which are representative of conditions of rolling and hilly uplands, and. 48 of valley and level uplands. The topo graphical structure to a large extent determines the agricultural value of the land, says the report. As a rule the operator of a valley or level up land farm has a decided advantage over the operator of the rough farm After deducting from their total re ceipts the year's operating Expenses, including the value of family labor and allowing 5 per cent interest on the capital invested, the survey shows that the operators of rolline and hillv farms had, in 1917, an average labor income of $309, and those operating vauey or level upland farms an aver age of $646. Of the 79 farms studied, 20 per cent had no labor income after allowing, for the deductions referred to, and 21 per cent had a labor income above $1,000. Labor incomes earned by typical oper ators indicate that one having much less than 40 acres of crop land for a general live-stock farm has a rather poor chance of financial success. Better Cows; Would Increase Income. Live-stock farming is the principal agricultural industry of the region. The use of cows for dairy purposes is increasing. The average annual pro duction per cow of 78 cows on the better cfass of dairy farms in the area covered by the survey was 142' pounds of burterfat. This industry, says the report, would become more profitable if cows- of greater productive capacity were introduced, and the production would be increased if the feeding of Animal in Dehorning Crate Ready operation. wicu wrsurauie to dehorn the heif ers as well as the steers, especially when they are to be fed in trou-ha ior a part or tne year. calves may be dehorned when few days old by treating the un.levei oped horns with caustic soda or caustic potash, taking care that it does not wash into the eyes.
