Pleads for Union
OF All the World

Boston, March 29.-''Together with
the Anglo-Saxon peace, let us pre-
pare for the German peace; let us
take in the Dutch and the Scandina-
vians and let us form the great union
that Bjornstjerne Bjornso saw COM
ing. But we will not stop at Anglo
Saxon peace, nor at German peace.
Let these be only steps toward human
peace-the peace of the world"
This was the emphatic thought ex-
pressed yesterday by Chief Justice
Benjamin Russell of the supreme
court of Nova Scotia at the opening of
the annual meeting of the Massachu-
sets branch of the American School
Peace League in fremont Temple.
Don't forget that we all come from
the same fatherland,' said Justice
Russell. THE difference between the
English American and the German
Americans is simply this. When we
went through the English channel we
stopped there perhaps 10 or Is hours
on the island and our English Ameri-
can friends stopped there Is CEN
turies'
Justice Russell deplored the efforts
being made by some of the foremost
citizens in his district to use the
schools and colleges as seminaries for
the propagation of military ideals.
The advocates of peace have no diff
ficulty in proving their case, he said.
while nothing could be said in favor
of war as an institution of civilized
life. He declared that either as an
amusement or as a serious occupation,
war stands condemned
Frederick P. Fish, chairman of the
State Board of Education as presid-
ing officer at the meeting, told of the
purposes of the School Peace League.
There are now 35 state branches of
the league, he said. including the
Massachusetts branch which was
formed in 1909.
lone of the most important objects
of the league" Mr.. Fish said, "is to
induce teachers to study the inter
national peace movement and to make
appropriate applications to their work
in the schools"
The meeting was in commemoratlon
of 100 years of peace and topics relat-
ing to peace were discussed by prom
inent speakers.
Arthur C. Boyden, principal OF the
state Normal School at Bridgewater,
was elected president of the branch

Duelling, Relic of
Barbarisfrl, Must
Cease in Germany,

Berlin, March 29.-The two recent
fatal army duels fought in Germany
and Austro Hungary, which prompted
the Clericals in Parliament to ask the
Minister of War what steps would be
taken to terminate this relic of bar
barism," were typical instances of how
the innocent suffer and the guilty es-
cape. In each case a husband was
killed by the adversary who was re-
sponsible for the combat.
In a duel at Metz, Lieutenant Haage
of the 9Sth infantry was required by
the regimental court to challenge
Lieut.. Won La Valette st. George of the
same regiment for an alleged invasion
of Haage's home. Haage fell at the
first exchange of shots thereby vindi-
eating the honor of his unwounded
adversary.
At Budapest Stefan Hadju. lieu
tenant in the aeronautic corps, was
killed by his brother law, Sigmund
Babocsay, an officer of the reserve.
Babocsay in quarrel with his wife,
Hadju's sister, had made some insult
ing reference to the Hadju family
This came to the ears of the military
authorities. They declared that this
family affair could only be settled
with pistols and assigned Lieutenant
Hadju two officers as seconds, who
saw to it that the duel took place, al
though Babocsay was willing to
apologize for the insult. This was
the twentieth duel in which Babocsay
has been involved.
The fall of General Won Heeringon,
the late minister of war, is generally
attributed to the last Reiehstag de-
bate on the subject of duelling. His
statement holding out no hope of an
abolition of compulsory duelling in the
army. was highly displeasing to the
leaders of the powerful Clerical Center
Party and his retirement followed in
due course. Gen. Won F'alkenhayn,
mis- successor, like all PrGssian officers,
holds the same views, believing that
officers must follow the code in
defending their honor or leave the
army. The utmost to which the army
authorities are willing to go is that
Guels for trivial causes are to be pre-
vented and that officers who by their
unworthy conduct provoke duels must
leave the army

ration in vigor and uniformity be-
tween the units planted. This meth
cd also enables him to detect any
mixtures that may occur in the va
riety.
AT digging time the product of each
unit is separately harvested, and
further selection made from thesmark-
ed units of all those which most near
ly approach the size, shape and
smoothness desired The selected tu-
bers should be numbered with both
field and unit numbers and separate
ly placed in small sacks. From each
of the units retained, 10 of the best
tubers should be selected for tie
next seasons planting. 1t is desir-
able to maintain the study of each
selection on the tuber-unit basis the
following season because it permits
a more accurate comparison of the
behavior of each.
The hill-selection method consists
in marking the most promising plants
during the growing season. At har-
vestipg time save only those which
give 8eatest promise. Keep the pro-
geny of each hill separate. and take
the same data as outlined for the tu-
Der unit Plant on the tuber-unit ba-
sis the following season. For sake of
uniformity, a definite number of tu-
bers-five or more-should be planted
from each Hill selection. From this
point on the methods given in the tu-
ber-unit work should be followed
The only requirements for the sue
cessful practice of the two methods
of seed selections are reasonable de-
gree of painstaking effort on the part
Of the grower, some 12-inch garden
labels, a small pair of balances, a suffi-
cient number of suitable small sacks
and a safe place in which to store
the selected tubers until required by
the next seasons planting. In addi-
ton to this, the grower should nave
breeding plat in which each sea-
sons selections can be developed up
to the point of eld-planting stock.
The selection of breeding plat need
not necessarily be divorced from the
general field plat. In most cases it
can be more conveniently handled if
it is part of the regular field. All
that is required is to set aside as
many rows as may be required to
plant the selected tubers. These
should be preferably on one side of
the field so that they can be more
readily observed. The planting fur
rows may be open, and fertilizer
distributed with the potato planter by
removing the disks and setting the
plow a trife deeper. If a pillow is used
in covering. care should be exercised
TO avoid displacing the seed pieces.

The dining room was beautifully dec
grated. AT the close of the repast and
after the cigars had been lighted, E.
w. Moore, president, presiding as
POSTMASTER, in few words expressed
the pleasure of the organization at so
large an attendance, saying that the
ability of country town to maintain
so active a Board of Trade was one
of the manifestations Of the awaken
ening Of widespread interest in State
development, that the rush of the
young men from our State to the West
had in great measure ceased. Con-
servation and development were be-
coming household words and that the
speaker of the evening, Hon. Blaine S.
Viles of Augusta, was a representative
of tire new spirit of the people, whose
zeal and ability had placed him in
one of the high positions in the gift
of the State.
Mr.. Viies was received with great
applause and spoke ably and enthu-
siasticaily on the subject Of conserva-
ton of the forest and of the fish and
game interests of the State of Maine.
The postmaster then introduced
John c. Gerry, vice president of the
Boom Maine movement organization,
and one OF the chief promoters of the
movement, as a mas whose enthusiasm
for the development of his own state
was not exceeded by the most radical
Western boomer.
Mr.. Gerry spoke with a great deal
of interest, and illustrated his remarks
by many pleasing stories. He set
forth clearly and concisely the great
benefits that the State of Maine will
derive from the success of this new
movement, and urged all patriotic cit
liens Of the State OF join the organ

Washington, March 29.-This is the
season of the year when the farmer
should pay particular attention to
seed potatoes, cautions the department
of agriculture, and the use of high
grade seed would increase the returns
from the potato crop of the country
by many millions of dollars. A con-
sentative estimate of the increase that
might be expected from the use of
high grade seed is certainly not less
than 10 per cent Such an increase
based on the average production of
the past five years would amount to
over 100000 bushels, having an APP
proximate value of SCI 100000. OF the
many causes which operate to produce
low average potato yield in this
country, pure seed is an important one.
The American potato grower pays too
little attention to his seed potatoes.
The European growers, especially
those of Great Britain and Germany
pay very strict attention to the quail
ity and quantity of seed they use.
This has led to the differentiation of
the potato industry into seed and
crop specialists. The seed specialist
makes a business of producing high
quality seed, while the crop special
list produces a high grade table pota-
to. No such differentiation, at least
to the same extent, occurs in this
country. While it is true that in GER
tain sections there is well-develop-
ed seed potato growing industry, but
few growers in these
sections are paying sufficient atten-
ton to the elimination of diseased
and unproductive strains, or to keep
ing the variety grown free from mix
ture with other varieties.
BY far the simplest and most prom
ising means of developing high grade
seed potatoes is that of the tuber-
unit and hill-seiection methods. The
former consists in selecting from the
seed bin before planting time a con-
siderable number of the most per
fectly shaped tubers of from 6 to
ounces in weight. When planted these
tubers are quartered, as dropped. into
4 as nearly equal parts as possible.
This is done by splitting the bud-eye
cluster in each direction from seed to
stem end of the tuber. The four
pieces of each tuber are dropped con-
secutively in the row at distance
of from 10 to Il inches apart in the
furrow. All tubers showing discol-
Grafton of the flesh or other evidence
of disease should be rejected.
BY allowing an additional space be-
tween each set of fours, the four
plants from each tuber are definitely
isolated from adjoining ones, and the
grower can readily observe any va

Two Cardinals for
The Sacred College.

Berlin. March 29.-Canddates for
cardinals to fill the two vacancies left
in the Sacred College by the deaths OF
Cardinals Kopp and Fisher are being
discussed. At least two German
prelates are expected to receive the
red hat at the consistory this spring.
The apostolic muncio at Munich,
Mgr. DR.. A. Fruehwirth is prominently
mentioned.
Prince Max of Saxony, younger
brother of the King of Saxony and
now professor in the Catholic
Theological seminary at Cologne was
at first picked as probability. But
some have eliminated him, recalling
that he incurred the displeasure of the
Pope several years ago by his views
on the Greek Orthodox Church, ex-
pressed in a published book.
One of the most likely candidates
according to reports from Rome, lis
Bishop Korum of Treves. His name,
however, has been unfavorably re-
ceived in government circles with
which he has been in conflict often.
The selection of the right man is
believed to be a real problem at the
Vatican. The Pope, it is said. de-
sires to appoint men who have not
been identified with recent political
struggles and who are on good terms
with the government.
The death of Cardinal Kopp de-
prives the Catholic church at once Of
It's highest functionary and it's strong
est personality in Germany. Kopp
played an important part in restoring
amicable relations between the Vati-
can and Prussia after Bismarcks
campaign against the Catholic church.
In later years the emperor recognized
his efforts to promote good relations
between Rome and Berlin by calling
him to the Prussian peerage and con-
ferring upon him the order of the
Black Eagle, the highest Prussian or
der. 1t carries with it patent of
nobility and the right to use the
coveted won" before the holders
name, of which, however, the cardinal
never made use. The Emperor fur
ther made him a member of the com
mission to reform the Prussian school
laws and entrusted him with other i'm
portant missions.
