Washington, May 4.-Such ad-

States government through official
and unofficial channels within the
last few days indicate that Italy's
preparations clearly tend to her
participation in the war at an early
date.
Aside from her extensive mill
tary preparation and orders for war

2 QUESTIONS To SETTLE NOW
State Department Perturbed Also
Over German Aviator's Bonn
bardment of American
Steamship Cushing

Washington, May 4.-The state
department today faced perhaps the
gravest situation since the European
war began, its own officials admit
ted.
The German embassy. usually so
prompt to defend acts of the kais-
er's land or sea forces, declined
comment or explanation concerning
the bombardment of the American
steamship Cushing by German av-
iator near the Dutch coast, or the
torpedoing of the American tanker
Gulflight with the loss OF the lives
off the Scilly Islands late Saturday.
Secretary Bryan was noncommit-
tai. The department seemed as much
perturbed concerning the Cushing
as the Gulflight.
For the torpedoing of the Gulf
light on its way to the French port
of Rouen with an oil cargo, which
the Germans were admittedly natur-
ally anxious to prevent from reach
ing the enemy, 1t was held some ex-
cuse might be made-though not for
the vessels destruction under cir
cumstances responsible for the loss
of American lives.

Farming will be as dramatic an
occupation as buying and selling on
the stock exchange II Kansas pro-
posal spreads. The idea Is of whole
state engaged in gigantic compe-
tition to raise a maximum of corn
and sorghum at a minimum cost.
Boys have had corn contests in more
than one state, with excellent re-
suits; why not their elders? The
present competition is limited, there
fore, to persons over nineteen. At
ter they have had year or two for
practice, we suppose, they will be
subject to competition from boys on
equal terms. The affair is to be
scientifically managed. The contest
plat" will be of five acres, in any
part of the regular field, but as
nearly as possible of rectangular
shape. In judging the crop, 40 points
will be allotted to amount of yield,
40 to cost of production, 10 to the
cost record, which must be carefully
kept, and 10 to an exhibit at the
county institute or fair. Cost of pro-
duction must be accurately figured.
East OF certain line, the rent Of
an acre is placed at 81; west of the
line, at SO. The operators time must
be estimated at the rate of 20 cents
an hour, hired assistance at the
same figure, horse labor at 10 cents
an hour for each horse. It may be
wondered whether this requirement
Of cost record will not be the most
valuable element Of the contest, in
both an educational and a statistical
way.-Evening Post.
