Amsterdam, July 21.—Although Chancellor Michaelis failed to state German’s peace terms, the impres- sion was prevalent here today that ‘he favors only a peace with annexa- tions and indemnities, Germany, under the leadership of Chancellor Michaelis, apparently’ is determined upon war aims which might be summed up in a general way as follows: 1. An indemnity from England. 2. Annexation of parts of the oc- cupied territory of France and Bel- gium, 3. A compact guaranteeing “the freedom of the seas, 4. An extension of Austro-Hungar- ian sovereignty along the Adriatic coast. ‘ 5. Poland to be an autonomous state under “German protection.” 6. Annexation of part of Serbia by | Bulgaria. 7. Extension of Hungary's borders into Roumania. 8 A general European commercial | treaty establishing the “equal rights of all nations to trade.” g. .A revision of The vention. That the new chancellor is in sym- pathy with the junkers is made pret- ty evident from the attitude he adopt- ed towards the United States. Dr. Michaclis minimizes the part that America could play in the war and his efforts to make an impression in that direction were so obvious that the impression is gaining ground in Holland that he had an ulterior mo- tive in doing so. For the first time in the empire's history an imperial chancellor was forced to bow to the parliament as its servant instead of dictating to it as its master. The majority peace reso-| lution was passed, 214 to 116. Seven- teen deputies abstained from vating. ie chancellor himself subscribed 27, Lasts Six Days, And you are invited!

Ozark Mountaineer Who Killed Jailer Pardoned. Gainesville, Mo., July 21.—After 17 years in the Missouri Penitentiary Ben Richardson has reappeared at | his old home in Ozark county, having | been pardoned. He was serving a; life term for the murder ‘of Jailer Alfred Henry at West Plains in Jan-| uary, 1900. | Richardson swore vengeance, on} his last trip to prison, upon neigh- | bors who testified against him. They} ‘are hoping that 7 years in prison has caused him to forget his eA wrongs. He served eeveral jail terms here While in jail at for petty crimes, West Plains he beat Jailer Henry over the head with a poker and thre his body down a flight of iron stair He escaped with another prisoner,| leaving Henry dead on the floor. | Richardson was aecaptured, brought back, tried and sentenced for life” Feeling ran so high that a com- pany of State militia was sent to West Plains to prevent mob violence.

Four days later he escaped and months later was captured in Ar- kansas and returned to the Missouri Penitentiary. i Owners of Hedge Rows Beware! A fine of not less than $50 onr more than $500 may be imposed upon near the ‘right-of way of a public road if he fails to cut same down to a height of not more than 5 feet be- tween the first days of May and Aug- ust of each year. This is a provision of one of the new road laws enacted by the last legislature, and may have been overlooked by local hedge own- ers: Less than ten days remain in which to have this work done and the law further provides that any prose- cuting attorney who shall fail or re- fuse to institute a suit to compel the owners of a hedge fence to cut the same down to the height required , by law shall be removed from office by the governor, and some other per- son shall be appointed to fill the va- cancy thus created.

West Side Square RABBITS URGED AS FOOD SOURCE be Raised in City Back Yards. Washington, D. C., July 14,—Rab- bits, which have proved a valuable source of food in Europe during the present war, may well be raised more extensively in America by way of re- ducing the drain on the ordinary meat supply, according to biologists of the United States Department of Agriculture. The business of grow- ing rabbits, the specialists point out, can be carried on by youths and adults not engaged in military or other national service or in regular industrial employment. The animals may be raised in back yards of cities and towns as well as on farms. The Belgian hare, says a statement by the United States Department of Agriculture, breeds rapidly, matures quickly and produces a palatable and highly nutritious meat. The cost of production is tess than that of any other meat, not excepting poultry. The supply can be greatly in- creased within a few months, with- out requiring space that may be need- ed for the Production of crops. Practical experience has demonstrat- ed that rabbit meat can be produced in unlimited quantities at a cost ‘of about 6 cents a pound; and by utiliz- ing lawn cuttings and other vegeta- tion that would otherwise be wasted, the cost can be made even lower. The Belgian and Flemish giant rabbits are recommended for meat production, as the ordinary tame rab- bit is smaller and develops more slowly. Stock of Belgian hares may be bought from breeders in nearly all the States at $1 to $3 cach.

They eat hay, grass, lawn cuttings and green vegetation of many kinds. Females should be allowed to breed when 8 or to months old, and during the year . should raise four litters of about six young each. Well-fed, the young reach marketable’ size when 3 to 4 months old and average from five to six pounds live weight. The Department of Agriculture has published a bulletin on raising rab- bits which will be helpful to those who wish to engage in this pursuit, eae Farm Loans.
