WORLD'S RECORD
ror Milk and Butter, Made
by O.A.Q. Holstein.
Guelph, March 10.-A Holstein cow
at the Ontario Agricultural College
Lan m department on March 8tls com-
pleted a DOW world's reeerd for milk
and..., hotter -fat produetiotle Prom
March 8t11, 1015, to March 8011, 1016,
prodUced 20,072.9 pounds of milk
containing 918.95 pounds of butter -fat,
equivalent to 1,024.94 pounds of but-
ter. Tete constitutes a record for cow»
milked just twice daily, for bete milk
and butter -fat. All previous records
of over 19,000 pounds of milk and 650
pounds of fat in a year have been
made by cows milked three and four
tilneS daily throughout the greater
part of the year. It is interesting to
note that but four eows in Caned%
three Holsteins and one Jersey, itarp
given more butter -fat in a year tap
has this cow. -
This cow was five years old at the
commencement of her year's test.
She was bred and raised at the col-
lege. At no timewas she forced in
feeding, the largest eraelint of grain
fed being 12 pounds per day.
The accomplishment of this record
Is largely due to the care given by
Mr. Sam Shaw, one of the headmen of
the farm department.

London, March 13. -The Rotterdaw,
correspondent of the Daily Mail, in a
mail communication sent on March 8,
says he can confirm the report that
the German fleet is preparing to'fight
the British fleet.
Discussing the reasons for the Gel-
man decision to accept battle after re-
fusing it for 19 months, the correspon-
dent says:
"Without acting on the theory that
if she loses the war Germany will lose
her fleet, German. 'statesmen take the
view that it the fleet is last its de-
struetimsauesruttiieleas.tcost the eltOnlY
enormous
"'No German stip shall surrender,'
Is the written order. •
"But the Germans will not sacrifice
their fleet merely for the sake of na-
tional sentiment. Tney will not send
their ships to destrucdon merely to
seeing them towed out of tlte Kiel
Canal. The German navy staff is
about , to challenge Great Britain's
naval supremacy because they think
they can deal that supremacy a se-
vere, if not a deadly blow.
"The increasing of the blockade, in-
ternal unrest and the military menace
of the Allies undoubtedly have, had an
Influence on the naval poliey, but
have not decidea teat policy, only
stimulated it."
Referring to the universal belief in
Germany that terrible weapons
against the British navy have been
forged, the correspondent describes
this belief as fantastic. He says that
he has ground for skeptieism regard-
ing the reports of 17 -inch guns, un-
sinkable battleships, discoveries in
megneeic power applied to mines and
torpedoes, and impregnable • floating
forts, but he believes that the super-.
submarine is the weapon with .which
Germany "hopes to strike effectively
at the British navy."
"Germany," he says, "now possesses
submarines of power and dise
Placement undreamed of at the out-
break of the war, It is claimed. that
these monster craft can voyage as
far as India, independent of any aid.
In their building men have been
kept at work night and day for.
months, The best German inventive
and constructive minds • have been em-
ployed in perfecting a huge flotilla, of
submarines. Fortunately the German
marine staff has faced a serious han-
dicap. They have materials, work-
shops and skilled workmen to build
submarines, but not sufficient sailors
to man them.
"The German loss in submarines in
the last few months is greater than
the German Admiralty cares to con-
fess. They do not mind the loss of
the boats as much as they do the
loss of the trained crews. 'Wfth their
system of short service, the Germans
cannot turn out sadore of the first-
class quality, especially men called to
exercise rare technical knowledge
and remarkable physical endurance
In the cramped chambers 'of a sub-
marine. Nevertheless, crews are be-
ing trained speedily and efficiently
wiatchhintO,e limits of the German war
machine"
LAST DESPERATE THROW.
After detailed reference to the con-
fidence of the Germans in their fleet's
future achievements, the correspon-
dent says:
"Putting aside seneational press ar-
ticles and idle cafe chatter, it is a
fact. that in the 'near future our navy
will achieve Its great desire and the
most terrible see -fight in history will
bring the end of the war in sight. Ger-
many is preparing a last desperate
throw in which she will employ all
htoerVy
stall the Allies and strike before our
speed. The German plan is to fore -
Zeppelins are being built witli feverish
men, guns and munitions have achiev-
ed a superiority that must ensure vic-
.resources of land, see and air.
"The attack on Verdub is the Pre-
lude to the last phase of the world
war. A blood -red dawn is rising.
Whole armies will be destroYea,
mighty ships will be derelict, thou-
sands of homes will be devastated in
the awful tragedy of a great .nation
rushing to suicide."

• Waseington, March 12, -In three
columns,' American cavalry, under
command of Major-General "Fight-
ing" Fred Funston, the advance guard
of a punitive expedition of 20,000
started across the Mexican border to-
day and began the pureuit of Fran-
cisco Villa. and Ills bandits,
The mounted columns started. from
Douglas, Ariz., Columbus, N. M., and
E. Paso, Texas. The advance was
made simultaneously.
Villa, with his bandits is believed
to be heading for the fastnesses of
the Sierre Madre, further south. He
is seeking to get into a wild countrY
Of which he lcaows every foot and
tvhere pursuit by the American
troops will be most difficult.
It is the aim of the leaders of the
American expedition to cut Villa off
before he can reach this almost Ina
passable country. Two of the columns
that invaded Mexico to -day are
marching on western and eastern
slopes of the Sierra Madras. Apparent-
ly the .American troops hope to ger-
round Ville, and then close in on. him
until he is killed or surrendere.
