STUDENTS AS FARMHANDs.
They Are the Best. Says Charles
Harris, OF Kansas.

Washilgton.-There is crying need
for labor on the farms of the United
States, offering opportunity to the i'm.
migrant and the native unemployed.
This condition was emphasized by
state immigration officials here at a
joint conference with the Federal i'm
migration authorities, called for the
purpose of finding a means of CO.
operation between the government
forces for the distribution of immi-
grant settlers and the unemployed to
the localities where they are needed.
Practically every State in the Union
was represented. A number of reso.
lutions were offered and a committee
was appointed to evolve a practical
method by which the division of infor-
nation of the United States Immigra-
ton Service and the State immigra-
ton officers may work in harmony.
Charles Harris, manager of the Free
Employment Bureau of Kansas, de-
.clared that college students afforded
the best help on the farms. Four-fifths
of the farms in Ohio are in need of
labor, according to A. p. Sandles, sec.
rotary of agriculture of that State.

FAR BEHIND IN AERONAUIICS
France, Germany and England Are
Ahead, Although the United States
Was the First Nation To
Recognize the Aeroplane.

Washington. an underlying
note of bitterness General James Al
len, chief signal officer of the Army,
declares in his annual report that al
though the United States was the first
nation to recognize the aeroplane for
military purposes and carried out the
first official test of that invention at
Fort Myer, in 1908, such phenomenal
progress in this science and art has
been made abroad that this country
has been left far behind in securing
practical equipment and organization
for the use of this indispensable ad-
junct to war. Failure to find the
necessary officers to be trained as
aviators and lack of funds are said to
furnish the explanation for this situa-
ton.
General Allen says the most notable
progress in military aeronautics has
been accomplished by France, Ger
many and England. The French have
perfected a particularly effective
aeronautic corps, which was thor
oughly tried out with 20 aeroplanes in
recent army maneuVerS.
Attention is directed in the report
to the failure of the Senate to con-
firm the adherence of the United
States to the Berlin Wireless Tele-
graph Convention, and points out the
fact that it is only through courtesy or
by some private arrangement ships
can now communicate with wireless
stations located in foreign countries.
General Allen also refers to the great
confusion that now exists in the trans
mission Of wireless messages on the
coast of the United States, seriously
interfering with communication from
various coast defenses and ships at
sea. and urges the necessity for legis-
lation providing adequate control of
all wireless telegraph operations, with
special regulations for war conditions.

Foreigners Massacred.

Peking.-Chinese officials confirm
the report that massacre OF foreign
ers as well as Manchus has occurred
at Sian-Fu. The legations believe that
the report will prove true. There
were 40 foreigners in Sian-F'u and
many missionaries in the smaller
Shen-Si towns. Up to the present
only Chinese reports have been re
ceived regarding the massacre. There
has been no telgraphic or postal com
munication with Sian-Fu for more than
three weeks.

Himself An Assassin.

The political career of Gen. Ramon
CaceSes may be said to have begun
when he avenged the execution of his
father by assassinating President
Heureux at Moca ON July 20, 1899.
He was partisan of General Jiminez,
and by killing Heureux also made it
possible for Jiminez to obtain the
Presidency.
Later Caceres became Minister OF
War and took prominent part in sup
pressing the rebellion of Jiminez after
the latter had been driven from the
Presidency. He became Vic-Presi-
dent under President Morales, and
later when Morales was at odds with
his own party and unable 20 control
his Cabinet and fed the country
Caceres was installed in the Presi-
dency by the Ministry.
This was in December, 1905, and
two years later an arrangement was
made between the Dominican Republic
and the United States by which the
American Government appointed re-
ceiver general of customs for Santo
Domingo, through whom the public
debt is still being discharged.

FEDERAL CONTROL OF MINES.
Proposition To Senate Committee BY
West Virginia Operator.

Washington.-Control of the coal
mining industry by national com
mission with power to authorize trade
agreements was proposed before the
Senate Committee on Interstate Com
merce by Taylor Vincent, a West Vir-
ginia coal operator and attorney.
Mr.. Vincent said the enforcement
of the Sherman law with it's demand
for competition between large and
small operators is rapidly driving the
small coal producers into hank
ruptcy.
do you think similar commissions
should be established for other lines
of industries?" asked Senator Cum
Minis.
81 do" replied Mr.. Vincent. Each
industry should be under control of
commission that could determine how
far agreements could be made without
violation of the law"

cause it was the only place he could

detected the Holmogori district in the
province Of Archangel for raising
Dutch cattle because he noticed the
resemblance between the grass Of
Holland and that Of the Holmogori

at small expense the vast swamps in

turned into lands covered with the

that a serious situation undoubtedly is
developing in Mexico. Recent reports
of disturbances in various parts of the
republic at first were regarded as
based upon nothing more than the
ebullitions of half-trained soldiers who
found it difficult to return to the ways
of peace. Now, however, reports are
reaching Washington from various
sources, most of them confidential, but
accepted as reliable by officials here,
indicating that there is danger of an
other revolution which may absorb
within it the various lesser and
sporadic disorderly bands in various
parts of the republic.
AS a precautionary measure orders
for the departure of American troops
from the border have been revoked,
so the soldiers will be on hand for the
prompt dissipation of any considerable
gatherings on American soil of would
be revolutionists.
Instructions have been issued to
Brigadier General Joseph w. Duncan,
commanding the Department of Texas,
to keep close watch for any viola
tons of the neutrality laws and report
Immediately to the War Department
anything approximating revolutionary
tactics.
Altogether, the Army now has about
5000 men in the vicinity of the Mex
lean border. At San Antonio there is
the Third Cavalry, Twenty-second In

The Twenty-third Infantry is along the
Rio Grande, the Fourth Cavalry is at
