CHARGES WAR HYSTER|A'
TO DEFENSE ADVOCATES
Group of Pacifcists Present Their
Views to House Naval
Committee.

A group of pacifists presented their
views in opposition to what they called
the war hysteria at a hearing today
before the House naval affairs COM
mittee. Arthur u. Call of this city
spoke in behalf of the American Peace
Society; DIR. Samuel T. Dutton of New
York, who is active in Serbian and Ar
menian relief work and in peace prop
uganda, deplored the war. and Francis
X. Carey of Baltimore, spokesman for
the anti-preparedness committee, de-
clared that the war hysteria has been
aroused by the work of the so-called
defense league and subterranean in
luences Of makers of war munitions
and traders in war brides"
Those who believe as l do" said Mr..
Carey. ARE no more likely to oppose
efficiency. economy and upto-date
equipment in the army and navy than
they would be to tolerate or excuse
political graft in the New York police
force or any neglect or inefticiency
which supplied the police force with
rotten night sticks or muzzle-loading
pistols.
Protest Against Armed Competition.
solemnly against the ill-timed hysteri-
cal and dramatic entry of the United
States into the dreadnaught-buildin
army organizing international COM
petition which already has laid waste
almost all the rest of the civilized
world
ITO confuse this protest with any pur-
pose to oppose calm. deliberate and pa
triotic efforts to deal in quiet bust
ness way with the task of taking care
that the enormous moneys we are now
spending on our army and navy are
wisely and efficiently expended is I'M
fair" He said the United States should.
by it's policy, declare to the world that
the greatest shame and dishonor would
be its failure in it's highest duty to the
world civilization by joining In and
prolonging the European struggle.
Many Different Views Held.
Mr.. Carey agreed that the opponents of
any action by Congress which will COM
nit the United States to a departure
from it's traditional policy hold many diff
ferent views. II am proud" he said, ito
be thought to be an optimist or a dream
err in regard to the future. Those of US
who refuse to believe that war is
necessary evil and nope that the next
generation will look back upon the men
and women who advocate or tolerate it
as twentieth century barbarism have
much on our side.
THE world today is decorated with
monuments of so-called dreamers, who
when they told their dreams to the
public were derided or insulted. Slavery
abolition, civil service reform, intelligent
treatment OF the insane and the crimi-
nal were all once iridescent dreams"

told the committee. Our real fears are
not of war but of wrongs; not of in
jury but injustice: not of blood but of
barbarians. We are not afraid of death
but of hatred.

Cottonseed meal and acid phosphate
may be mixed in varying proportions
for fertilizing purposes. We think a
mixture of 1000 pounds of each provide
a very good formula for corn and cotton

may, however, mix SOB pounds of cot
tonseed meal, 30 pounds of tankage, fish
scrap, or sulphate of ammonia, and

In the planting of velvet beans and
corn, we would wait until the corn was,

TO plant the beans earlier. In our eX-
perience they tend to climb on the corn
plants before the crop has matured
and they break the stalks over and in
terfere somewhat with proper develop
ment Of ears of corn. We have gen.
orally found IL necessary to plant the
beans a little later than the corn. You
may plant them between the rows or
along the side of the drills. When you
plant in the middle of the rows they do
not climb on the corn plant so rapid
" as when planted besides the stalks of

quite a little more growth from planting

Owing to limited wire and wireless facil-
tiles the total number of words which
may be sent from here by correspond
ents is $50 or 800 daily. This number
of words has been divided equally
among the correspondents in the field,
so that with the present wire limitations
the number of words which any news
paper may receive by wire during day
is about twenty-five
The censors said military necessities
preclude any larger use for the present
of army wires, which are the only means
of communication from the field head
quarters, or the front. The correspond
ents with the army are bound by the
same regulations as the soldiers. None
of them may visit Mexican towns out
side the lines, and as the army is occu-
plying no such towns all of them are
outside the towns. Furthermore, the
censorship regulations do not permit
correspondents fling over any wires or
by any other couriers than those desig-
mated by the censor.
Up to the present no correspondents
have been permitted beyond the field
headquarters The front where the
search for Villa is underway is more
than 100 miles south
Except the brief daily dispatches by
wireless, all news passing the censor is
carried back by army mails.
Brigadier General Pershing asked
newspaper men not to use the name of
officers nor of military units. He ex-
Hlained in a general way the movements
now being made against Villa, but eau
toned the correspondents specifically
against using any of this information.
The newspaper men have shared the
