The Clarke amendment TO the Philip

"Inalienable Rights"

The MeXicans are now enjoying the

Filipinos if the Clarke amendment
carries" he said. They are working
out their salvation in their inalienable
rights to robbery, arson and murder"
Instead of completing the Philippine
bill, as had been hoped by its sup

of discussion of the bill without hav-
ing set any time for a vote on the
measure. 1t appears likely that the
bill may drag still another week be-

FRANCE TO CULTIVATE
EVERY PARCEL OF LAND
Does Not Wish to Arrive Too Late
on the Economic Bat

PARIS. January 29.-The CULTIVATION
of every parcel of land in France tc
assure the maximum agricultural pro-
duction is the aim of the French gov
eminent, and to bring this about the
government itself will act temporarily
as a farmer A bill has been prepared
under the direction of Jules Meline
minister of agriculture. requesting the
owners of uncultivated land to begin
tillage within two weeks after notice,
which will be given by registered let
tiers.
May Requisition Land.
If land is not cultivated within the
time specified the bill provides that
mayors of communities have the right
to requisition the ground and order
it's cultivation. which will be done
under the direction OF town commit
tees, the towns to assure the funds nee
essary to carry on this work. The
bill further provides for a municipal
or an agricultural committee to super
wise the cultivation of such land I'M
til time to harvest the crop, which

Deficit in Grains in 1915.
Minister Meline, in a statement ac-
complaining the bill. said that there
has been a deficit in grains of 10 per
cent in 1915. as compared with 1914.
The minister declares that there is
not a minute to be lost If France does
not want to be surprised by develop
ments and exposed to the possibility
of arriving too late on the economic
battlefield. Farm help. he explained,

rangement with the military author

100000 men are affected by the COM

Der is diminishing through daily at

quoted as saying; Great Britain is de-
termined to push the war to the end.
We may make mistakes. but we never
give in. 1t was British stubbornness

are gaining now, while Germany is
weakening. The excerpts follow:

spring we shall have 100000 of SOL
diers, solid. fit and we'll equipped.

This is democratic war. If 1t was
not I should have nothing to do with
1t. I was opposed to the last war that
England engaged in. but in the present
war the future of democracy in the
whole world is involved. 1t is a final
struggle between military autocracy
and political liberty-a hideous con-
fict. but one wherein we shall be VIC
tortous; of that l am certain. The CEN

One Feature of Presidents
Plan Encounters 0pposi-

OBJECTIONS ARE MADE
TO CONTINENTAL ARMY
National Guardsmen to Be Given
Hearing by House and Senate
Committees.

After three weeks of hearings before
various committees. the administra-
tions preparedness program IS not
very far advanced in Congress. Al
least one feature of the plan urged by
the President for increasing the mill
tary strength of the country has met
with serious opposition in both the
senate and House committees on mill
tary affairs-the provision for the con-
tinental army.
This proposed continental army,
which has the earnest support of Sec
rotary Garrison of the War Depart
ment. is intended to provide 100000
men of the total of approximately
100000 which the whole plan is cal
culated to make available.
However, it appears that in some
form the proposal for a continental
army will be written into the army in
crease bill being prepared by the Sem
ate military affairs committee. 1t is
likely. though, that the plan Will be
changed considerably from that advo-
Gated by the War Department. me
Senate bill as framed by the committee
will be devoted mainly to complete
reorganization of the regular army on
a basis of approximately 23J,uo0 men
with the colors. which is about 100000
greater than the recommendations OF
Secretary Garrison.

predicted here will be the highest re-
corded. and will inundate portions of
Argenta, on the north bank of the Ar
