TO BENEFIT TWO INTERESTS.
By Standardizing, Warehousing and Mar
keting Our Crops.

Chicago, Dee. S--America's S most press
ing problem is that of so standardlzing
warehousing and marketing our crops as
to serve the legitimate interests OF farm
ers and consumers alike" according to
Carl S. Vrooman, assistant secretary of
agriculture, who spoke here last night at
IA dinner incident to the fourth annual
national conference on marketing and
farm credits. Mr.. Nrooman continued;
among the factors that stand out IN
the problem are rural credits, a satistac-
tory system of land tenure, the cooper
ative purchasing of supplies, and facili-
tics for marketing farm produce. These
are subjects on which the federal depart
mcnt must do a lot of constructive work
before the problems involved are salts
factorily solved. 1t is a herculean task
but filled with promise for the entire
nation
"From the first the department and the
state agricultural colleges have helped
the farmer in his fight against the
chinch bug, the army worm, the boil
weevil. the cattle tick and other insect
pests. but for half century there has
been voiced vehement protest from
practically every farm organization IN
the country over the failure Of either
state or federal governments to help
the farmer in his fight against the usurer
the fake mddleman and other human
pests.
AT last the farmer is being met half
way. More economic federal legislation
! has been passed in the past four years
than during the forty years preceding
The office of markets has been erected
rural credits bill has been passed,
bonded warehouse bill, a good roads bill
grain Standardization act and other
invaluable legislation have been enacted
These laws are of revolutionary impor
tance. They are the beginning of new
and more splendid epoch in American
agriculture"

Remaining Inhabitants of Bucharest
Welcome Them Enthusiastically.

London, Dec. s-Reuter's Amsterdam
correspondent sends the following official
Berlin dispatch describing the fall of
Bucharest:
"At lO30 o'clock Tuesday morning
Captain Lange of the general staff was
sent as a parlementaire to the command
ant at Bucharest, bearing letter from
Field Marshal Won Mackensen demanding
the surrender of the fortress. A second
letter notified the commandant that fire
would be opened unless the parlementaire
returned with "a hours.
Captain Lange returned before the
expiration of the limit, the commander
in-chief of the Rumanian Danube army
having refused to accept Field Marshal
Won Mackensen's letter on the ground
that Bucharest was not fortress but
an open town. He declared that there
existed neither armed forces nor troops
destined for its defense and there was
neither a governor nor n commandant.
Captain Lange pointed out the character
of Bucharest as a fortress and said that
such an evasion would not hinder the
German operations.
"ln the course of Wednesday morning
portions of General Schmittow's cavalry
corps took possession of a fort on the
north front, and portions Of the 5ith
army corps pushed on and took the line
of forts from Chiaina. on the west front,
to Odaile, on the north The enemy in
fantry offered resistance, which was
quickly overcome.
From the south portions the Danube
army pressed into the city through the
Cirdle OF forts, meeting with no resist
ance.
The troops entering the town were
received enthusiastically and decorated
with flowers. Field Marshal Won Mack
ensen drove in a motor car to the royal
castle where he was greeted with bou-
auets OF howers.'

p. NJ McKenna happened early this
morning when the big bell in the tower
at st. Monica's church pealed out its

ices commemorating the Feast OF the

Mckee acting as the eelebrant at both

persons who objected to hearing the bell

that Injunction proceedings might follow

Germany Says She is De,
porting Belgians to Pre-
vent their Degeneration
MILLION AND A HALF
REQUIRING AID
Official Statement Blames
Great Britain for
Their Condition

Berlin, Dee I, via London, Dec. s.
The German government issued a state
ment to-day in explanation and justitica
ton of the transfer OF Belgian laborers
to Germany. 1t says the measure is by
no means hardship for the laborers but
social necessity.
Owing chiefly to the British embargo
against Belgium's oversee trade, which
before the war supported a large part
of the industrial population, many Bel
gian workers are idle, the statement
saws, and the conditions are growing
worse Many families, after spending
their savings become an object for pub
lie charity. This is not due, as assert
ed in Belgium, to German requisltion'
of raw material, it is explained, for these
reuuisitions occurred as rule only whert
the factories were unable TO continue op'
erations.
One million, five hundred and sixty
thousand persons, one-fifth OF the popu
lation, require assistance. These masses
of idle people the statement says, are
degenerating and drunkenness and SO
cial depravity are resulting Tens o.
thousands, the statement says, have ac
ccpted work in Germany at protitapl'
wages Before compulsory transporta
tion, every idle person is offered an op
portunity voluntarily to accept work anc
compulsion is resorted to only where
the laborers stubbornly refuse, STEPS
have been taken to send part OF theil
earnings to their families in Belgium.
