counties are that during the past

A
START WITH
ALF Al F A
SENDING OUT LITERATURE
THROUGH CHAMBERS OF CON-
MERGE TO FARMERS.

Getting a start with alfalfa is the
title of a pamphlet being sent to the
farmers by the International Harves-
ter company through the Chambers
of Commerce in all cities located in
an alfalfa growing region. The
treatise is by P. G. Holden, one of
the best informed men on the sub
ject in the country. Quoting from
him:
Alfalfa is comparatively new
crop in the United States. but is des-
tined to come rapidly into general
use. There are few farmers whose
profits would not be increased
greatly by raising alfalfa. Every
farmer should aim to produce. as far
as possible, all his foodstuffs upon
his own farm.
During the last few years, the area
devoted to alfalfa has greatly in
creased in the region west of the
Missouri river, and it is certain that
there will be an equally rapid in
crease throughout the eastern part of
the United States.
Not More Difficult Than Glover.
Many of the attempts IN the past
to grow alfalfa in the humid regions
have failed, but with our present
knowledge of the requirements of the
crop there will be little, If any, more
trouble in securing a stand of alfalfa
than of clover However, the meth
DDS followed in securing a catch of
clover will almost certainly fail with
alfalfa"

are keeping their eyes on the opera
tons along the eastern front, where
battles of immense magnitude are
developing.
The Germans, apparently having
found the Russian fortress line around
the East PTussian frontier too strong
for them ARE attempting to make
their way to Warsaw from the north
west, and, starting from Mlawa,
which has been the base of several
previous offensive operations, have
penetrated as far as the important
town of Przasnysz, which is almost
directly north of the Polish capital.
They claim to have captured the
town and 10000 prisoners and much
war material.
On the Bzura and Rawka rivers,

wirection the Germans early in the
year made such desperate attempts to
reach that city, the Russians are on

German report, have made a slight

Carpathian ranges battles are still
being fought without slackening, and

The sinking of the Lusitania
near Kinsale, Ireland, last Friday,
furnished the most thrilling Incl
dent Of the great war, from the
American viewpoint. 1t was a
terrible disaster, and the fact that
the big liner carried American men
and women and that the Germans
were aware of this fact, made it
appear like a WantOn f fl o It
against h is nation. Prominent
men and some of the nations
leading newspapers have pointed
dramatically to Wilson's note to
Germany, issued just few days
before the disaster, stating that
Just such an act would constrain
United States to hold the Imper-
ial Government of Germany to
strict accounta bility. They in
terpret the sinking Of the Lusi-
tania as nothing less than a just
provocation for war against Ger
many, and some have even gone
SO far as to urge action. 1t GER
tainly is a terrible state of affairs
that necessitates the killing of in
nocent women and children on a
defenseless passenger steamship.
1t is uncomprehendabl to us who
are 10 far removed from h e
scenes of war and the daily car
mage of this useless strife. A n d
furthermore. we don't want t o
have it brought any nearer home
to usWe don't want to engage in
this war and no incident affect
ing a few should be made to in
fluence the nations leaders into
an act which would involve the
entire Union. Viii e. at frs |
glance. the sinking of the Lusi-
tania appears like the act Of a
war crazed nation, up
on further study there can be dis
covered war reasons for it. Chief |
among these is the fact that the
Lusitania was a British owned |
ship. The main purpose Of tn
German submarine blocade Of |
the waters surrounding the Brit
ish Isles was t h e prevention Of |,
of ammunition and like
to that country.
The German government h
amply notified all neutral cOun-
tries of this blOcade, and they
made especial notification i n re-
gard to the sailing of the Lusi-
tania several days before it was
due to leave New York, warning
Americans not to take the trip.
If the Lusitania had successfully
run the blOcade it would have
been a great encouragement for
other ships to engage in the trans
portatiOn of ammunition to allies.
In stopping this boat, the on
which on account of it's speed
had the best chance of any to
avoid the submarines. t h Ger
mans proved that their 'blOcade
is to be feared. and that is their
one great aim. The Cunard people
who owned the boat, were a bl
to get big insurance on it because
it was thought that the Germans
would leave it alone on account
Of t h e Anne rican passengers.
They sneered at the warnings sent |
out by Germany---they wanted |
the American passengers on board
for protection against German at
tact. They advertised that til e
Lusitania coud easily run away |
from any torpedo boat, and that

ing our daily papers with this inter-
minable rubbish, the twofold object
being to cover up the fact that the
freedom of the seas is impudently
denied to our shipping by those who
control that news agency, and to
foster feelings of animosity in this
country against the antagonists OF
Britain. 1t is a dangerous con-
spiracy; and now that Congress is
about to open steps should be taken

BOOMERANG.

Secretary Tumulty's apology for
the Wilson administration Mexican
policy proved to be a boomerang.
The secretary probably knows a few
things now that he failed to take
into account when he wrote his let
ter to DR.. MCGUIRE. The True Voice
asks what knowledge of the files Of
the State Department did Mr..
rumulty possess when he undertook
to brush aside the sworn testimony
In the possession of Monsignor Kelley
and Father Tierney? 1t would be
interesting to know; and it would
also be interesting to know why Mr..
Tumulty went so far oft of his way
to get into trouble.
