CHAPTER XXIII.
Peace Is Declared.
The world had become an Instru
ment attuned to the breaking pitch,
and awoke to have every string within
it played upon in a day. It was a
royal tune in which city after city was
called upon to contribute. "London,
which had passed a sleepless night
was astir before dawn, aroused into a
pitch of terrific excitement by the re
turn of the Roberts, which swooped
down from the air aglow with light
and courting notice.
At the iron gates in front of the pal
ace, where the sentries were briskly
tramping to and fro until called to
gether by the descent of the radio
plane. the Roberts came to the ground
with every searchlight playing into
the air. The alarm had been given,
before she came, and guards were
turning out from their barracks and
hurrying to the palace on the run,
with arms in hand to defend Bucking
ham from the oncoming monster. Not
until it was near the ground was it
discovered that from the peaks floated
three flans, the UnionJack, the Stars
and Stripes and the white banner of
truce.
In hasty formation the soldiers
faced the place where the machine
with its staring eyes would alight and
rank on rank presented a stubborn
front to the visitor. Their astonish
ment was incalculable when they rec
ognized as the first man to emerge
from the side of this unexpected
craft the missing king, followed by the
prime minister and the head of the
navy, as well, allfefttling. and all tak
ing quick cognizance of the array of
defenders.
The ranking officer of the guard re
covered his poise, gave the command
aad the soldiers' saluted, after which,
he stewed -forward In response to the
king's beckoning aad received instruc
tions for the safeguarding of the Rob
erts. Bevins and the secretary of
state, as they walked through the iron
' gates, guests of the British nation,
heard the quick precise steps of men
marching to form a square round
their oraft, and pictared to them
selves the curiosity which would Be
aroused when the day broke.
Thus it was-that within an hour
after their arrival a crowd was col
lecting which qutdid the one that as
sembled to view the Dreadnought on
the day of her return. The strange
and sHent Roberts, resting in the road
way and floating the 'American and
English flags, which had been inter
twined by the lingers of a friendly
vireeze, was of greater (interest than
aaj ffjher sight within memory. It
was rumored through the throng that
the king had returned; but the expla
nation of his absence was yet to come.
For once oflJcialdom did not hesitate,
but sent to the newspapers of the city
the full account of the visit to the
United States, together with the rea
sons and results, and also the story
of the fleet which had been given up.
for lost. It was intimated that the of
ficial overtures of the United States
would be made known at a later hour
of the day through due channels, and
thus the air was charged with expect
ancy. In the meantime Berlin too had
been given its time of tumult The
return of the emperor had been no
less astounding; but he with charac
teristic energy had no sooner stepped
within the doors of his palace than
he called his secretaries and dictated
a complete explanation of his own dis
appearance, together with a statement
of what had transpired in the United
States and a summary of the pro
posals for peace which had been for
mulated. The Norma waited for a
brief time only, and then in full sight
of an immense gathering of spectators
turned her nose homeward to carry
her report to Washington.
This news was cabled to London,
where its dissemination "gave another
impetus to speculation, and before it
had 'subsided the world's cables re
sumed onerations.
An operator in a transatlantic
cnhlp office, who for weeks had sat
before his silent keys, saw a livid
signal flash, and sprang excitedly to
respond. Across the depths of the
ocean came the words:
"All embargos are removed. The
United States of America gives greet
ing, and 'reiterates the message which
was the flrst to be transmitted, 'Peace
on earth. Good will to men.'".
.Events were now moving with such
prodigious rapidity that wherever
wires of communication ran men left
their occupations and waited for
whatever other remarkable informa
tion might be forthcoming. For once
the nations seemed In such close
touch that they reached out to each
other- tbtell their "own.part In -the
unfolding of the great mystery. The
whole civilized world knew speedily
that the kaiser had been carried away
by accident, that his health had been
improved, and that he bore nothing
but good will toward his captors.
London transmitted the complete
story of the taking or the British fleet,
elucidated the Dreadnought's singular
return, and also made known that the
king and his. -associates,, had visited
and been detained in-WasMngton by
their own volition.
In the United States the night had
passed with most exceptional activ
ity. The sight of the Roberts leaving
New York had "been heralded from
coast to coast, and the administration,
besieged for information, yielded to
the popular demand and gave out the
history of the war. Including the ac
count of the invention and the crea
tion of the plant on the Florida key.
The little inventor and his daughter
were thrown into the limelight, and
exaggerated accounts of their mar
velu3 work were spread over pages
of extras wherever newspapers were
printed. The public insistent- clam
ored for news, more news, throughout
the hours, and seexnid -never aatiated.
All aves were turned to the presi
dent who finally, m despenftlon. de
clined to make any further state
meats, and announced that details
would have to ccme In later sequence,
when time could be given to their 'dictation.
From the ereat repebllc the cloak
'of mystery and inaction was thrown
aside and the cordons to the north ana
the south were being dissipated as if
by magic. That menacing line of blue
aiong the Canadian border was
crumbling with greater rapidity than
it had been formed. Here and there
through the air swept 50 radloplanes
carrying Improvised passenger ac
commodations, the sun showing them
as flashing birds of blue carrying the
hosts of the guard back to their arm
ories, whence they might return to
their homes and occupations of peace.
In every city .throughout the land as
tonished and exultant inhabitants
watched these friendly monsters
which had made the nation the most
redoubtable in all the world. The
guns of the border were now standing
unguarded, the bivouacs obliterated,
and the paths of the sentries aban
doned to the effacement of nature's
kindly growth.
Seattle was at last ' liberated, and
proceeded to astonish the world with
accounts of the imprisonment of the
Japanese fleet which had rested In
the waters of Lake Washington for so
many days. Photographs of it were
sent broadcast together with inter
views gained from the commanders
of the hapless expedition, and by spe
cial Demission Admiral Kamigawa
was allowed to cable to his govern
ment the first full report of his disas
ter which went through uncensored
and unchecked. The fact was made
patent to Japan that her men were
prisoners on -parole, her ships trapped
in a helpless position, and their fate
resting entirely on the mercy of the
government.
As if to add 'to the proof of helpless
ness, Tokio" learned of the detention of
the British ships, and knew that any
or all alliances could not be depended
upon in the presence of such mightJ
as the Americans could bring to bear.
Another day dawned in Washington,
brineine with it the unconditional
capitulation of Japan." She appealed
for peace with dignity, and leit the
suggestion of terms to the nation with
whom none might dispute, rusting to
her "magnanimity. Congress had
been called into being again, andf im
bued with the spirit which had actu
ated the president through all his
siege of stress and trial, followed his
wishes. The lone man la the White
House loomed as something more than
mortal, and was a-Iast being appre
ciated.
Japan was told that the United
States demanded neither indemnities
,nor-retention , of the conquered fleet
Tor tfie'tfenethVof tae'nblic the latter

where it would be liberated and re
stored to its crews. The only condi
tion was that on its return to Pacific
waters it must withdraw all men It
had placed In the Philippines and
Hawaii, and restore the American flag
with appropriate salutes.
This then was the end of the great
venture by the island across the west
ern sea. which had staked its' hope of
advancement upon a ruthless descent
on an unprepared and apparently, im
potent nation. It had spent years in
anticipation, had purchased the most
deadly agents of destruction whenever-
presented,-bad workdt Jiight and
day in its navy yardfcjfto build gftmt
ships of war.'thad covered the .United
States with its spies. until its' espion
age reached everywhere, and all for
this!
Now, after all its deliberate plans
and quick action, it was to accept as
a sole cause for jubilation the return
cf the tnen who had taannsd- its mighty
fleet, and wait for the return of ships
that were useless for all purposes. Its
dream of indemnities was gone, its
ambition for more territory was never
to be realized, and its hope of com
peting' with other great powers as a
world factor, had come to naught
It is doubtful if the government
shared in the joy of those who had
given up for dead the ones they loved
and were now enabled to cast asitte
scarfs of mourning. The Japanese
were to learn that one successful war
does not constitute a series, and that
all nations were not inefficient. The
lesson of civilization had been ham
mered home with sickening emphasis.
Scarcely had peace been concluded
when the administration by a declara
tion to its own people cut as with one
hlnw nf a knife a knot which threat
ened financial panic. It was prefaced
with a statement that the reason wny
no indemnities had been demanded
from Japan was because under altered
conditions following the war it would
be imposing a hardship on a nation
already stricken, without the need
therefor. In substance it stated that
inasmuch as there would be no future
appropriations and consequently no
taxation for navies or fortifications,
vast reductions would automatically
be made in the expense of operating
the government It was also an
nounced that as the United States
had been presented with a new form
of transportation by Its inventor. It
had set aside for him and his heire
sufficient royalties to render them
financially "independent, and that fur
thermore in the interest of perpetual
peace the secret of the radioplane
would be maintained inviolable.
Th railways of the country would
be permitted to reorganize and con
tinue as freight carriers until such
time as their rates were deemed exor
bitant or their charters expired, the
government abrogating to itself all
nasseneer traffic within the confines
of Its own continent, and declaring
Itself a competitor for all ocean trans
portation under tariffs to be formu
lated. It ended by asserting that gov
ernment ownership of aerial transpor
tation was not adopted at the behest
of any political party, but solely that
the people might derive the benefit
and the nation maintain its invulner
able power. Thus it was that the rail
ways were still permitted to exist and
no hardship worked save in the read
justments of capitalization, which
losses fell mainly upon those who had
accumulated vast fortunes by the
very inflation which was now punc
tured. As if to knit the world together in
international harmony, the culmina
tion camr fc a message addressed to
all natior.s which was penned by the
hand of the president himself. It was
his proposal for the maintenance of
peace, and read as follows:
"That war and its barbarisms may
.Ibrrairtime be done away with, the
United States ot America hubbju
that:
"By the grace of God it has been
placed in possession of such power
that it could not only conquer the
world, but destroy the inhabitants of
other nations. This has been fully
demonstrated. It has no desire to util
ize its strength unjustly, but purposes
to exert it for the benefit or an men.
"It considers territorial greed to be
the real impelling motive in nearly
all international wars. Therefore it
requests all nations become signatory
to an agreement in perpetuity that un
der no circumstances shall there be
any invasion of the territory of one
country by another, and that all
boundary lines shall remain as now
established, except they be changed
by the mutual and amicable agree
ment of the adjoining powers to which
they belong.
"Questions involving national difr
nlty can be adjusted by better means
than war, as can nearly all other
motions which from time to time
arise between governments; hence the
United States urges that full powers
of adjudication and arbitration be
vested in a standing commission repre
senting each faatibnrwhich shall .have
for its seat of. office some place 'upon
which tbVgreater- number may agree.
"The United States, having faith in
the Anglo-Saxon race as representing
one of the most peaceful and conserva
tive, has formed an offensive and de
fensive alliance with Great Britain,
through the personal efforts of the
king and his prime minister. These
two governments have no desire to
act as peace officers for the world,
but pledge themselves to place all
their power at the command of the
international commission for the en
forcement or its findings."

Arrange the first strong runners by

soil or a small stone. Then, when
each row is full, cut off all additional
runners that may grow. Keep the
ground hoed and cultivated until late

This is the convincing way In
which an agricultural editor pleads
the cause of the calf: "When you get
to the call remember patience. He
doesn't understand your deal wheth
er you want to veal him, torpedo him
or nurture him. Have a prayer
learned at the maternal knee on
vour lins as you proceed. Tickle his
slimy, avaricious nose with the tips
or your fingers. As you become more
deeply absorbed and things are doin',
don't forget the prayer. Hypnotical
ly, your calm state of mind will lead
bossy to the light, and humping his
limber spine, he will go for his mess
like a Jap after a Russian cruiser, ris
ing at intervals to blow the token of
his happy dip on the rim ofyour bib
overalls. But remember, 'he's a calf
the same as you used to be."
In starting In the poultry business
remember that no one can succeed
with 500 birds who cannot make 100
profitable and one who cannot make
ten fowls pay a good percentage or
profit can rarely make 100 birds do as
well. It is the old story of intensive
and extensive farming. The methods
applicable to the ten-acre market gar
den do not fit the farm of hundreds
of acres; nor is the proportionate profit
or the latter as large though the ul
timate income is greater. The poul
tryman who cannot ccvith a few hens
and a cock secure about. 50 per cent,
profit on the investment the first year
and 200 per cent the second year can
not exnect to make the average in
come on a large flock which is com
puted to be about fl.00 a year profit
on each bird. There are many poul
jy plants throughout the country that
average that, good years and bad. but
there are also many expensive plants
:bat are run on so small a margin of
profit that one year of losses puts
:hem out of business. Practically all
;he big poultry plants in the country
started in a small way. Several
-.hings are necessary to insure suc
cess. The first is the proper location
is to soil and climate, market and
hipping facilities. The right kind or
Dirds must be kept and in this also
location must decide.
The practice or taking the calf away
from its mother after the second or
third day is growing in favor, being
deemed better for the calf and afford
ipg larger profit from the cow. The
rule followed ea the Hoard dairy farm
in Wisconsin ia feeding the calf after
weaning is to continue to feed it the
milk from its mother and from three
to four pounds at a time, depending
upon the size and condition of the
calf. It is far better to underfeed
at this early period than overfeed.
Some feed the young calf three times
a day but we feed but twice. The
milk allowance is increased as the
calf grows and is able 'to take more.
At -the end of .three or .four weeks if
the calf has made good growth, some
skim milk may be added to the allow
ance. The whole milk may be gradu
ally decreased and the skim milk
increased until the calf is receiving
all skim milk at the end of the fourth
or fifth week. When the calf reaches
three months old It should receive
eight pounds or skim milk night and
morning and some ground reed. At a
very early age the calf will begin
to eat some, if hay Is put before it at
.the very beginning. A Httle rack should
be put up in' one corner of the calf's
pea and filled with good clover or
alfalfa hay. Whole oats and bran
should be kept before it In raising
the young calf be careful not to over
feed "and always feed regularly

The most fruitful source of contam

care cannot be taken to have the barn

Be careful that you do not use too
much arsenic in the spray used on the

that arsenic sometimes accumulates
in the ground under trees that have
been oversprayed during a series or
years, until it reaches a quantity that
menaces the lite or the trees. In a re

such trees are dead or sick beyond
recovery, and all show the same
symptoms. The first sign is the ap
