STRIKE HAS COLLAPSED.
Decision Reached After Stormy SEES
sion at Amsterdam.

Amsterdam, April 10. The strike
has collapsed. The aged Socialist lead
er, Domela Nieuvenhuis, who emerged
from his retirement in order to run the
strike agitation, was present at a
stormy meeting of the labor organiza.
ton, which sat during the whole of the
night and until s 80 in the morning.

since the cause of labor had been be-
trayed. The meeting acquiesced in this
view and decided not to elect a new
strike committee. A similar decision
was reached at recent meeting at Rot
terdam.

HONOR MEN FOR THE ARMY
Important Order Issued by Secretary
Root Yesterday.

Before leaving Washington Secretary
Root issued an order directing that the
highest honor men from the six leading col
leges where army officers detailed as
military instructors shall be eligible to APP
pointment as second lieutenants in the reg
ular army.
This order will have a most important
effect upon the students at colleges where
military training is a part of the curricu-
lum. but where heretofore there was no
special incentive to the student to follow
the course. The growth of the martial
spirit during the past five years has been
particularly noticeable among collegians.
and the demand for military instruction
has been on the increase. although there
was no other reward to be looked for than
the possession of such an education.
Under the new rule. however. students
will have before them the reward of good
berth in the army. with the certainty of
promotion for both merit and length of
service. The action of the Secretary of
War was undoubtedly inspired by the Pres
ident who wishes to reward the youth of
the country for hard work in military lines.
and the order was intended to eventually
cover the entire country. one college being
selected from every state.
At present the colleges that come within
the provisions of the order and which are
most likely to be chosen are st. Johns Mil
ftary School. at Manlius. N. T.: the Penn
sylvania Military College, Chester, Pa
South Carolina Military Academy. Charles
ton, 8. c.; Virginia Military Institute:
Michigan Military Academy. Orchard Lake,
Mich. and Norwich University. Northfe1d.
VT.
It is unlikely that the rest Of the military
colleges where army officers are detailed as
instructors Will be satisfied to have this
opportunity lost to them in favor of only
six In the entire country. and the likelihood
Of the scope Of the order being enlarged is
very great. This will. however, be a mat
ter for congressional attention. and 1t is
not at all unlikely that 1t will be taken
up during the coming session

WHEAT VARIETIES.
Their Descriptions in Pamphlet Is
sued by Agricultural Department.

sued by Agricultural Department.
The description of wheat varieties is the
subject treated in pamphlet issued by the
Department of Agriculture as bulletin, No.
Al, of the bureau of plant industry The
pamphlet has been prepared by Mr.. Carl s.
Scofeld and deals with botanical expert
ments and Investigations. In his introduc-
ton Mr.. Scofield says:
1.-THE nomenclature of the varieties of
wheat now growing in the United States is
somewhat tangled. The wheat plant Is par
ucularly unstable in type and a change of
environment Is likely to cause variations
and result in plants better fitted to the new
conditions. These plants, by producing
more seed or seed Of better quality are the
more vigorous progenitors, and gradually a
complete change OF type results. Other
causes. such as errors in labelling seed pack
ages for distribution. or the mixture Of
varieties by machines used in harvesting
and thrashing, or by slight mixtures from
the sacks and bins in which grain Is stor-
ed. have all aided in bringing about an I'M
fortunate confusion in the names Of our
standard varieties Of wheat.
1.-THE origination Of new varieties has also
added its share to this confusion. These
new varieties may have resulted from ac-
cidental or Intentional hybridization, or
merely by selection on the part of some en-
thusiast Of seed from some plant that has
attracted attention. The new variety may
resemble one already existing SO closely as
to be Neutrality-suspicious. or 1t may be an en-
tirely new form. In either case 1t is proba-
bly, given a name without being anywhere
even vaguely described or registered The
law of the survival of the fittest applies to
wheat varieties as to other plants. and the
poorer varieties In time give place to bet
ter sorts; but unfortunately the name fire.
Quently survives and Immediately attaches
to some other form"
