London, May 3O.-French positions
on a front of approximately two
miles, extending from the southern
ridge of Deadman's Hill to Cumieres,
northwest of Verdun, has been cap
tured by the Germans, according to
Berlin. The Germans also pressed
forward in the region of Thiaumont
Wood, northeast Of Verdun. These
gains are partly admitted by Paris.
The Germans claim to have captured
more than thirteen hundred prisoners.
Around Deadman's Hill and Cumieres
violent bombardment is still in pro-
gress. Austrians have begun another
offensive against the Italians in the
Posina region, southwest of Posino
and farther north along the upper
reaches of the Aastico river. Rome
reports that near Posina the Italians
maintained their positions in the face
of heavy Austrian assaults. In the
Lagrina valley the Austrians are bonn
harding the Italian trenches. The
Russians repulsed German attack
northeast of Augustinhof on the east
ern front, near Gliadli In Galicia
the Austrians drove the Russians
from trenches but were driven out
again by Russian counter attacks.
Petrograd says the situation on the
Armenian front Is unchanged. Con-
stantinople reports that the Turks
captured British prisoners in a sur

tamia. Berlin announces that Ger
mans are with the Bulgarians in the

He DEFENDS HIS
PLAN FOR PEACE

Washington, May 30.-President
Wilson, in the Memorial Day address
at Arlington, the National Cemetery,
today, defined the spirit of America.
He warned the citizens of foreign
birth not to set themselves against
the purposes of the nation; called on
the young men to perform a volun-
tary military service, and defended
his recent suggestion for an alliance
Of nations to preserve peace.
While he declared that he had no
harshness in his heart for Americans
of foreign birth, who loved the land
of their origin, yet the president said
America must come first"
The president reiterated his sug-
gestion before the league to enforce
peace last week, that the United
States is ready to become partner
in any alliance of nations (which
would guarantee public right against
selfish aggression"
OF the public criticisms reminding
him that George Washington warned
the nation against entangling al
liances, the president said: 81 shall
never consent to entangling alliance,
but would gladly assent to a olsen
tangling alliance, an alliance which
would disentagle people of the world
from those combinations in which
they seek their own separate and pri-
vate interests"

ROOKIE" CREWS TO MAN BATTLESHIPS WHEN
NAVAL PLATTSBURG" IS HELD ON ATLANTIC

Washington, D. c., May 31.-When
the reserve Atlantic fleet steams out
to sea August Is it will carry the
strangest collection of 1andlubbers"
and regular sailors that ever manned
a ship.
Yachtsmen, plumbers, brokers, law
yers, boilermakers, statesmen, carpen-
tiers, telegraphers and men from al
most every walk of life will swarm
the decks.
And they will look very much alike
in the "white" or "dungarees" of the
navy.
August Is will mark the beginning
of the most gigantic experiment ever
undertaken by the navy, the training
of hugh civilian reserve to a fill up
gaps on the undermined ships of
this country should the war-call ever
come.
The navy needs thousands of them.
Hence the civilians training cruise of
four weeks, when the reserve fleet
will take aboard several thousand
landlubbers who win pay their own
expenses so they may learn the rudi-
ments of the man-o'-war mans
trade
The slogan spend your vacation on
battleship is being sounded in every
state, and all over the country men
are enrolling for four weeks service.
In word, the Plsttsburg civilian
training camp idea has spread to the
navy. For $50 any man who is ac-
copied by the enrolling officer will re-
ceive full equipment and subsistence
for the four weeks. His only other
expense will be car fare to the navy
yards at Portsmouth, New York,
Philadelphia and Charlestown.
Hundreds of new experiences await
the men who plunge suddenly into
the midst of naval life.
They will pass coal in the fireroom,
tend water, Chamber about great en-
gines as oilers, work in the turrets
with big guns and on dock with
rapid-fire batteriesc.
They will cling dizzily to swaying,
fighting tops while shots are "spott-
ed" or pass explosives from the mag
azines in the depths of the huh.

Little Success
For Big Many
A dUocates

Washington, May So.-The republi-
can effort to enlarge the building
program of the naval appropriation,
resulted today in the adoption by the
house, sitting in a committee of the
whole, of the amendment increasing
the number of submarines authorized
by the original committee bill, from
twenty to fifty. The proposals to
provide six battle cruisers instead of
five and add two dreadnaughts and
two scout cruisers to the program,
were defeated after a lively fight.
Proposals for more battle and scout
cruisers were beaten so decisively that
the big navy advocates virtually de
cided to abandon the fight for them
Another attempt win be made. how

By Blue and Gray, Spanish
War Vets, and Boys
Of To-Day.

yesterday by assembled veterans Of
the Union, the Confederacy, and the
Civil war; and the soldiers of Fort
Barrancas. Many visitors from PEN
sacola and other points helped sig
nalize the day.

the funeral march, and escorted by a
platoon of the Twenty-second com
pany, the veterans marched from the
car station at Barrancas to the Ma
tional Cemetery where the ceremonies
were held and the graves strewn with
flowers.
At the conclusion taps were sound
ed, salute fired and then the short,
triumphant notes Of reveille flung
their message of hope into the world
once more.
At noon there was a salute Of
twenty-one guns as the flag was re-
stored to full position. The program
was rendered as announced in the
Journal Monday and consisted of
regimental music, speaking, and vo-
cal offerings.
William L. Zachary, veteran of
the war with Spain, spoke in behalf
of the Spanish War Veterans, and the
Memorial Day Grafton was pro-
nounced by the Rev. D. P. Slaughter,

KANSAS AND THE MILK COW
Almost | Million Dairy Cows in
the State Now

Kansas has almost | million dairy
cows. Four years ago the Kansas
Agricultural College sent out a spe-
cial dairy train over some of the Kan
sas railroads, in which lecturers told
the farmers that silo and a few old
cows would produce real money every
day Of the year and would be found
to be the most regular and profitable
business on any farm. That was
something new to Kansas.
Just at that time the farmers were
ready to try the advice Of these ex-
perts. The dairy train came just
when Kansas was experiencing the
worst drought in thirty years. The
corn had been burned up and only the
sorghums made crops.
In the last FIVE years the number of
mich COWS in Kansas has increased
almost so per cent. According to the
returns of the assessors to the state
board of agriculture there were 64l,-
$40 mich cows in the state last year
In 1915 there were 961 PSI, an in
crease of more than three hundred
thousand.
No statistics were available until
1916 on the number of cream sepa.
rators in the state. In that year the
assessors were required to learn the
number. They found little more
than seventy thousand. The returns
already reported indicate that there
will be more than eighty Thousand
cream separators this year.
"Dairying is only in its infancy il
Kansas now" said S. c. Mohler, secre'
tary Of the state board of agriculture
1T is only in the last few years the
farmers have learned Of the never
ending income from few cows. In
quiries as to where to obtain gooC
dairy cattle have increased so much
in the last ten months we have di
rected the county assessors in every
Kansas county to report to this de-
partment list of farmers with pure
bred dairy cattle for sale. We made
the same inquiry in regard to beef
cattle, but there has not been the
same demand for information on beef
cattle as there has been for, mill
breeds"
The above, from the Kansas CITY
Star, ought to be an eye opener fo1
our people. If Kansas can make
money, out Of milch and beef cattle
McNairy county can. We are glad tt
note few of the live farmers ar
going into the business. Why not
great number? The more engaged
in such an industry, the better for all
