(Special to The Gusrdisn)

ST. JOHN, N. B.. Jan. 7.-The elec-

tion in Carleton County to-day in which B. Frank Smith was elected by a majority of 719 over Robert L. Simms, is regarded as s. most conclu- sive and sweeping endorsatlon of the new Government of New Brunswick and a severe political black eye for F. B. Carvell. While Messrs. Smith and Simms were the candidates the fight was really between Mr. Csrvell and Hon. J. K. Flemmiiii: as Mr. Car- vell announced tlirouglioiit the county at all his meetings that he was making the iight his own and strongly appeal- ed to all his personal and political friends to came to his assistance. On the Government side ‘very little was said of a personal nature, the cam- paign being conducted on the canvass that the Clarke Government was wor- thy of the respect and confidence of the people and that the success of Mr. Smith's candidacy meant in reality the endorsement of the Government. Another feature of the campaign was that during the two weeks of fighting no member of the Government appear- ed at any of Mr. Smitii's meetings, the speaking being done largely by Mr. Smith himself and Hon. J. K. Fleni- ming.

Premier Clarke in a message to-

night refers to this and says: “On account of the scandalous campaign which .had been carried on during the past live nibntlis or more it was thought by some that thc confidence of the people in the Government might be affecteitto soinaextent. Realizing this the Government determined that the people of Carleton County _should be selected 'as a jury to determine this question and consequently no member of the Government took an arduous part in the campaign. ‘So far as the Government is aware no out- side iniiuenec was brought to`bear for thc purpose of influencing the re- sult so far as the Government was concerned.

"The election of Mr. Smltii by such

a majority is a vindication ot' the Gov- ernment in every respect and an ans- wer to the misrepresentation of facts and absolute liesrtleasness and cruelty of those who have been striving to destroy not only 'the reputation of good msn but to ruin the credit of and bring disaster upon the province. I am satisfied that when the time comes the verdict of the county_ will be the thanks and congratulations of all right-thinking men within the borders of New Brunswick should be extended to the supporters of Mr. Smith for the work performed by them to-day in the interests of genuine good Govern- ment."

The total vote cast for Smith was

2.594 and for Simms 1,875. giving Smith a. majority of 719. The sent for which the election was held was that from which Hon. J. K. Flemming resigned in order to contest the coun-

ty of Carleton-Victoria against F. Il. Carvell for the Dominion House.

THANN, Alsace, Jan. 7.-A race of

three miles up the steep slope at Engelburg through tliickets and up rocky steeps, between a battalion of French light infantry with mountain guns and a German battery. deter- mined the result of the stubborn iight for the Alsatian town of Stein- bach. The French surprised a move- ment of the German battery ascend- ing toward the summit of themountain by the road and taking a short cut accomplished what seemed to be the impossible.

The French battalion arrived five

minutes before the Germans appeared in an open space and had just time to` put into position their mountain guns. Five minutes more all was over. Too late the Germans attempted to retire and the battery was annihilated.

Possession of this point permitted

the French to cross the River Bur, above the town of Thann, and to rein- force the troops operating around Steinbach.

On the morning of December 31 the

French occupied all the heights around the town and sent an envoy to the German commander, demanding the surrender of the place. The Ger- man oiilcer replied:

“ The German commander-iii-cliief

considers that our forces are in no wise cut °ofi’. The route to Ceriiay (Seiiiilielm) still is open and retreat always is possible. In niiy case the Emperor's troops are ready to die;

At noon on the same day the French

commenced an attack._which was con- tinued without iute ission. The French successes begzi with the cap- ture. at the point of fthe bayonet. of a farm commanding the road entering the town. The French then progressed road by road until the village was reached. ‘

Charges and coiinter-cliarges of iii-

fantry were niade amid the continual booming of the French three-inch guns from all the heights, to which the Germans replied with ever-dimin- isliing violence, which indicated a shortage of ammunition.

The Germans made a stubborn de-

fence with machliie guns and cold steel at thc outskirts of Steinbach, and the Cliausseurs also were met wltli a murderous fire from the church steeple_ _

One French company asked permis-

sion to charge. Many soldiers fell before they reached the German line, but nothing could stop the rest, and the German force guarding the.road soon was surrounded slid annihilated.

In possession of the road and the

farm, the French mounted quick-firing guns on a line of sheds connecting with the village, and sweeping along yard by yard, dnally captured the first line of houses.

The struggle was then continued

from house to house, the French losing one day the buildings captured on the preceding day, but always returning

to the charge with greater vloleiice and making a further advance. Every alley was an ambush and every house a little fortress.

The French finally succeeded in

slipping around the cnemy’s right

position of Steinbach itself. ' The church and the cemetery twice were taken and twice were lost.

Since hand-to~liand flglitiiig was

now going on night and day and from door to door the Germans, unable longer to use their artillery, resorted to incendiary bombs, and set fire to a number of barns and houses occupied by the French. , A changing wind, however, obliged the Germans themselves to quite the first line of trenches, being unable to control the fire, and the flames finally reached the ammunition reserves. The

explosion which occurred when the ammunition cnuglit dre made the little

SUMMARY 0F THE SITUATION

LONDON, Jan. 7.-A complete

change iii»tlic situation iii the near East may be brought about by the Russian victory over the Turks in the Caucasus. Ii' the Turldsli defeat is as sweeping as has been piilclally re- ported, tlie virtual destruction of two and the repulse of the third Turkish army corps, the Turkish menace against the Russians in Trnnscaucasla has' been removed, and the loss of so many of their best-trained officers and men, it is believed here. will com- pel the Turks to give up any ambition of invading the cnemy’s territory.

Military men are now taking greater

interest iii the Russian invasion of Hungary and the rapid advance on Transylvania. These operatloiis are the most gigantic iii the war. Mean- time the Russians are held by the Austro-Gerniaiis iii western Galicia, and the Germans can only move slowly against Warsaw on account of the mud.

A despatch from Petrograd says

Yesterday morning Professor lleiil

addressed the students of the Short Course. taking as his subject the feed- ing of calves. He began by pointing out that scientific methods should be applied along with practical work. No definite rules can be laid down, as the individuality of the animal counts for so much. However, the cow we get depends on the way wc feed the calf.

Mr Reid then explained a reliable

system of calf feeding. He said that the calf is removed from the dam shortly after it is dropped, and for 10 days given tho dam‘s, milk, then skim milk is gradually added until at four weeks of age, then the calf is. altogether on skim milk. A combina- tion of grain, consisting of nine parts of oatmeal sittings iand one part. of linseed meal, is added gradually, and at 2% months should receive 18“lhs. or skim milk with ii mail-porno of grain. The increase should be grad- ual as the cali' grows older. shd'at 4% months the calf should be taking 20 lbs. of milk and 1 lb. of grain. Skim miiif should be fed as long ns possible. There is no reliable sub- stitute for it. Blood meal, iinseed meal have been tried,but cannot corn- psre with it. Roots should be added to it. if they are puiped, ‘and s little whole oats and beans put with them. The calf will take them early. and also begin to eat some hay. which off- sets the isxatlve of the root ., F

three times a day at first. and as 32*

csif grows older drop to twice.. Spring, calvsrshould not be turned' .ont the. first summer. They should be kept in- side, or with a yard or shelter to run- into._ Tho! should be fed regular qii`antlties» s regular hours. The lllntsst iisaa of calves is imcieanli-

Yestcrday uftcriiooii Prof. Reid con- 'One ol' the most nourishing foods that

tliiued his lectures on dairy cattle, sgaiu'~dcmonstratiiig with Ayrshires. Two-year-old lielfcrs were brought liito the ring. Before allowing the students to judge Prof. Reid asked them not to criticise too strongly any heaviness or flcsliiness about the anima`l§, as heifers before calving were liable to have this, thinning down after producing for some time. The students were then given an oppor- tunity to fudge, and although the animals were very evenly matched. nearly all were placed correctly, thus evidencing the excellent instruction the students are recelvlns under Prof. Rcid’s able direction. Prof. Reid later went over the animals. showing the strong and weak points in their conformation. A second class was composed of three young' hetfers. There was more variance of opinion in this case.

Prof. Robertson being called on

placed _the animals and answered a number of questions asked during the discussion which followed. As ii. ilnsl class five heifers were judged. The animal# were all good individuals, and were discussed by various members inthe student body. after which Pro- fsssors Robertson and Reid went over them. giving correct placings and reasons.

Last night Professor Ross continued

his lecture on cattle feedingr Hs ssid that it ,was not sumcient to get ‘the analysis of foods to arrive st their true feeding value. Palntsbitity was s factor that had to be taken into con- sideration. They could readily under- stand this from what he had said

could be fed to aiiinials in compari- son wltli its compositloii_ All animals had it remarkable fondness for it. The explanation might lie in the large amount of oil which thc corn grain carried. Again, on being chewed it broke up into iiiiity, nutty particles and was therefore more palatable than wheat grain. which when chewed and mingled with saliva turned to a sticky dough. When ground into corn meal it was'a very heavy food and was liable to be poorly digested. it was not very common in this country as a food for cattle, but he wished to mon- tion it on account of its palatability. Of the common grain, oats was one of the safest and most nourishing. They must remember, however, that there was little food in the hull, and those varieties of oats were best as food which carried the smallest amount of hull. Wheat was not generally used as a stock food. but its by-products, bran and iiiiddlings, made excellent cattle feeds. Bran lay so loose that’the saliva got well mixed with it and it was better digested than some other foods. ` Professor Ross also spoke of the value of turnips as food when given to cattle along with hay, straw. What they had to consider was. how much each of proteid, carbohydrates. fats.

The 'Knights had celebrated their jubilee last year when they had attained the third place as regards membership of ‘fraternal orders, with a membership Iof over a niillion. ln the Maritime Provinces alone, over which he had -had the honor to preside. 750 new members had been added. He ex- pressed the hope that during the en- suing session when Brother Coleman, asslsted by Brother Roy ll.

Ho had pre- sided at many functions such as that. but he never remembered being pre- sent at ii more congenial or more en- joyable fuiiction. and it augured well for the success of the term upon which they had just entered.

SIJITHIIIBIISEIIIIES PIIESEIII IIEEIME

For Failure to Protest Against German International Wrong Doing.

Preserving lgnoble Peace by Disregarding .Violation of Treaties.

Signing of Hague Conven- tions Only a Farce.

NEW YORK, Jan. 7.-ln an article

wrltteii for the current issue of tlio Independent, Colonel Roosevelt says, under the caption, "Utopia or licli ": “ To violate these conventions, to vlo- late neutrality treaties, as Gerniniiy has done iii the case of Belgium, in a dreadful thing. it represents the gravest kind of lnteriiatioiial wrong- doing. but it is really not quite so coiitemptiblc. it docs not show sliortslghted and timid inefficiency. and above all such seldsli indifference to the cause of permanent and right- eous peace, as has been shown by the United States (thanks to President Wilson and Secretary Bryan) in re- fusing to fulfil its solemn obligations by taking whatever action was neces- sary iii order to clear our skirts from the guilt of tame acquiescence in a wrong which we had solemnly undcr- taken to oppose.

“ If l had for one moment supposed

that signing those Hague conventions meant literally nothing whatever beyond the expression of a pious wish, which any power was at liberty to disregard with impunity, in accord- ance with the dictation oi' self-interest. I would certainly not have permittcil the United States to be u party to such ii mischievous farce. President Wilson and Secretary Bryan, however. take the view that when the United States assumes obligations in order to secure small and unoffeiiding neutral nations against hideous wrong, its action is not predicated on any inten- tion to make the guarantee effective.

“ They take the view that when we

are asked to redeem in the concrete promises we made in the abstarct, our duty is to disregard our obligations and to preserve ignoble peace for our- selves by regartlliig with cold~bloodcd and timid indifference the most fright- ful ravages of war committed at the expense of a peaceful and unoffeiiding country. This is the cult of coward- ice. That President Wilson and Mr Bryan profess it and put it in action would be of small consequence if only they iliemselves were concerned. The itiiportaiice of their action is that it coniniitts the United Staes." lvlr Roosevelt points only to Germany ns the wroiigdoer, whose acts warranted an interference by the United States.
