BLOCKADE TO PLAY

Lord Cecil Declares War Will
Be Fought Out on Eastern
and Western Fronts.

LONDON, Dec. 1.-(6:30 p. ND
THE war must he Fought to a military
conclusion on the west and east
fronts with the blockade playing only
a secondary part" said Lord Roberr
Cecil, minister of war trade. in dis
Cussing today with the Associated
Press the latest developments in the
world conflict.
THE condition Of Rumaria." Loro
Robert continued, causes us grave re-
grct. But there is no reason to sup
pose the operations there will affect
the result of the war which must be
fought out on the main fronts. Th,'
conditions under which we will accept
peace oVcrtures remain the same as
outlined several months ago.
Asked concerning the origin OF the
allegation in the Morning Post col .
torial that Germany had offered the
entente powers generous peace terms
in return for a free hand in Central
and South America, Lord Robert Cecil
said
"Of course it is well known tina,
Germany had very definite ambitions
in Central and South America eveh
before the war, but | am unaware of
any peace having been offered MS on
the terms mentioned by the Morning
Post. We have no knowledge that
such oNertures ever had been made
here"

was about IL years old when he was
arrested for killing another negro
boy. They lived in Grady county. 1t
is contended that the boy was never
taken before a juvenile officer of the
county. But that on a plea of guilty
the boy was sentenced to the peniten-
tiary. The law provides that boys un-
der 16 years of age in the commission
of crime must first be taken before
the county court, which is the juvenile
court. and the Judge shall say wheth-
er the boy is of sufficient mental ca
pacity to be tried on the charge. If
he is not he is sent to training school.
In this case 1t is contended nothing of
the kind was done, but that the boy
pleaded guilty and was sentenced by
the district judge.
Another case is that of Grover
Blum, in the Tulsa county superior
court. The boy was convicted of high
way robbery and given prison SEN
tence. 1t is claimed that no judgment
was ever rendered by the court and
that the commitment was not issued
until two years after the conviction in
this case. If it is found that the con-
tention is true there is nothing to do
but release the accused.

ing the county in the sum Of $500, 900
Tor the purpose of constructing three
concrese roads. eighteen feet wide, the
fun length of the county, north and
south, and two roads east and west
from one end of the county to the

1t was brought out that If SAC. 900 are
spent annually for twenty years the
proposed roads could be built. 1t was
further shown that the county spent
$4,000 last year for state roads and
that about 100000 will be spent this
year. 1t was estimated that the cost
for the payment of the bonds would

CROP IN THE STATE
AGRICULTURAL { x p E r MENT
STATION SENDS OUT GLOW.
ING REPORT.
SEE 40 BUSHELS TO ACRE
1hreshina Tests Show the Best Aver
age Acre Yields Yet Obtained.
Wisconsin Grows one-Eiehth
of All Barley in Country.

Madison - Wisconsin, already IA
nous for its barley production, accord
ing to conservative estimates, has
again outdone all former records.
I'VE will undoubtedly find that we
have the largest crop of barley ever
harvested in Wisconsin this year." said
R. A. Moore, interviewed at his office
at the agricultural experiment station.
This is due in part to larger acre
age, but even more to the favorable
weather we have had and the high
class seed which was sowed."
Threshing tests reported to officials
Of the Agricultural Experiment asso-
citation show the best average acre
Yields yet obtained in the state. The
state average in 1915 was 35.5 bushels
and in 1914 81 bushels an acre Based
on the bright returns from this years
crop, authorities predict an acre yield
for 1916 of at least 40 bushels.
Wisconsin grows fully one-ighth of
the barley raised in the whole country.
and ranks third in the roll OF states in
total production.
According to Mr.. Moore, fully 95 per
cent of the seed used in growing the
Badger barley crop is of the well
known pedigree variety first grown at
the agricultural experiment station,
and distributed largely by means of
the cooperative association of grain
growers affiliated with the station.
