Paris, Dec. 27, 4.o1 p. m.-The con- gress Of French socialists today by an almost unanimous vote passed a resolution requesting the entente al- lied government to reply to Presi- dent Wilson's note concerning peace by saving that they are ready to tell him their conditions fer peace, which must include just reparation eor the wrongs done by the central empires. The socialists also declared they were for such a peace as was defined by the international socialist congress in London in February, 1915.
 The socialists of the entente allied countries decided at the London con ference that no hope for peace can be entertained until German militar- ism is crushed. Resolutions were passed urging that Belgium be Hb- erated and compensated, that the question of Poland should be settled in accordance with the wishes of the Polish people and that from Alsace Lorraine to the Balkans those popu- lations that have been annexed by force shall receive the right freely to dispose of themselves"

MILITARY
 SYSTEM A MODEL
For Universal Service Bill Being
 Drafted by Army General Staff.

Washington,y Dec. 27.-Argentina's
 military system is serving as a model
 for the universal service bill
 now being drafted by a com
 mittee of the army general staff.
 said today that while details had not
 been completed, the measure would
 follow closely the Argentine scheme
 and was designed to keep half a mill
 ion men under training, with 2,500, ,009-
 trained reservists subject to call
 It probably will be at least three
 weeks before the bill and accompany
 ing estimates of costs are ready for
 submission to the secretary of war
 The chairman of the house military committee has asked to see it and it
 will be sent to the capitol for the
 committees information, though there
 any sort of endorsement from the ad- ministration.
 Secretary Baker has not said wheth- CT he will approve or disaprove. The main feature of the staff bill will be it's provision for one year of intensive military instruction for all youths subject to ts terms. It is ex- pected that exemptions to physical disquaIifcations and for other reasons, including possibly the conscription of certain men for work in industrial plants necessary in war times would leave available for army training be- tween 450,000 and 50o, GOO of the 1,OO0,- 900 boys who reach the age of IS each year.
 In fixing upon a year as the mini
 mum time for training the general staff has followed the theory that the United States seeks to provide only for an army of defense. Major Gen eral Hugh l.. Scott has told the house committee that although Europeans give every soldier at least two years of hard work before turning him into the reserve, a year will suffice here because of the geographical position of the country. The argument advanced I to support this view was that there would be sufficient time to give fin-
 ishing touches to the military educa- ton of reservists after war had broken out and before invading ex- petitions could be landed in force. In a broad way the outline of the general staff continental army plan of
 last year would be followed in dis tributing tactial units of the reserve
 into nineteen infantry and six cav airy divisions. Reservists would be i- able for two years service in this force before passing into the &norg- anized reserve.
 The result, when the system had been in operation a number of years, would be to give 500,000 men under arms and in process of training, a million more trained, equipped, org | CT as first line troops and behind these the unorganized but trained reserve lnurnber1ng more than 1,500,o00. This l is the basis on which estimates of cost will be made by the general staff coml uiattee.

TO DRAFT A CORRUPT
 POLITICAL PRACTICES ACT
Work is to Be faken Up By Senate
 Subcommittee.

ing a corrupt political practices act to take the place of the Owen bill be- fore the senate after the holiday recess was taken up today by a senate subj committee. Many amendments to the Owen bill proposing radical changes in existing laws boverning campaign con- tributions ard candidates expenses are before the committee.
 One suggestion being considered is the limiting of expenditures in sena- torial elections on a per capita basis, allowing candidate to expend possi- ply two cents for eech voter in a thickly settled state or five cents in one not so densely populated. This suggestion was framed to meet an ob- jection when the Owen bill was before the senate that hard and fast rule of expenditures applying to all sections was unfair.

In an interview with a Herald

Mr.. Anoresen stated that the fin
ancial supporters Of the tow mill
have put their proposition in more
concrete form and gave us quite
a lot of interesting matter that we
will attempt to give our readers
as we understood it.
The men who are to furnish the
the plant are willing to supply the
money for the proposed plant are
willing to supply the necessary
capital, but, since they were un-
able to operate the Baker plant
during the past season and as they
have Az rOvimateIy $40, 1000 tie !
up in that factory, which will be
unable ~ operate until another
crop has been raised they must
have definite information as to
how much fax will be seeded in
this territory during the comi e
season. They ust also find out
how many farmers are willing to
contribute, this and this
year Only-One and one-half tons
of straw for every ton acres seeded.

Frb l, 1917. Last years crop
of straw will be accepted on these
same terms. The price will he
81 90 per ton for threshed straw
and SIS 90 for the unthreshed, as
previously outlined in this paper,
at every station from Mcintosh,
S. D.. to Marmarth, N. D.
The financial hackers insist that
the farmers pledge themselves as
to the amonrt Of fax that they
are willing TO seed or they cannot
seq their way clear t. tie up anOth
Or $40. 900 as they did in Baker,
and this appears to us as a reason

farmers to support this industry
this spring since it will he per-
man~nt thing and the farmers can.
after this yrar. can seed fax or
not as they see fit
This is the time for the Ameri-
can farmer to take advantage Of
the opening offered for the Ameri-
can fax crop caused by the shut.
