State College, Pa.-That the Back
o the farm" movement is led by city
Joys is shown by statistics at the
agricultural school of the Pennsylvania
State College. Today the three large
cities of Pennsylvania have over 200
'oung men in the school. Some of
these have never seen a farm, except
1t distance. In four years, these
young men are turned out with suffi-
lent knowledge in their special line
outstrip the men who have spent
IL their lives as tillers of the soil.
Twelve years ago there were just
3 scholars while there are now 400.
t Is also found that boys from the
urali district are attracted especial
y to engineering courses, while their
'ity cousins are studying to get back
the farm.

URGE ELECTION TO
Get PEACE VIEWS
Frankfurter Zeitung Suggests
That as Best Way to Get
Line on the Public
Opinion.

Amsterdam, July II, (Via I/ondon).-
In reminding the German government
that owing to the expiration of the pre-
sent term of the reichstag in January,
elections must take place before the
final conclusion Of peace, the Frank
furter Zeitung suggests, with view to
aScertaining the real feeling Of the ma
tion under the changed conditions that
truce should be arranged to permit
half OF the German army to return
home for the elections.
The German newspaper Vorwaerts
reprints an article written by Prof.
Konrad Metger, a member of the Ger
man National Liberal party, under the
heading Dread Of Peace"
Professor Metger, at some length.
tried to make out that the role of peace
mediator would only serve to raise the
personal prestige Of President Wilson,
who, according to the writer is anxious
to emulate President Roosevelt's sue
cess at Portsmouth.
But" he added, this should be a
warning to us. seeing the result was
that Japan was cheated of the fruits OF
victory"
The Vorwaerts comments on the art
icle:
"The anti Americanism of the Ma
tional Liberals seems to have risen to
such q pitch of self destruction that
they would wish the war to continue
indefinitely so long as America Is kept
from being the mediator. The great ma
jority of German people certainly do
not share this view"

GUARDS COMPLAINTS
LAID BEFORE BAKER
Kenyon Wants Reason For the
Poor Shoes and the Misfit
Clothing Of Troops.

Washington, D c.. July Ex-senator
Kenyon today took up with Secretary
Baker complaints as to shoes, clothing,
and transportation for Iowa troops. He
objected to compelling men to travel in
a fashion other than comfortable. He
said he understood the railroads could
move the Iowa troops to the border In
three weeks and do 1t comfortably.
"As there Is no hurry, why should
they not have comfortable means Of
traVeling?" he asked. Senator Kenyon
said the troops ought not be put to
more hardships than necessary.
Not only Senator Kenyon, but others
Of the Iowa delegation have received
a lot Of complaints. Soldiers have asked
that their names be kept under cover.
Secretary Baker told Senator Kenyon
he would investigate.

PRESIDENT SIGNS
FARM LOAN BILL
Believes Rural Credits Meas
ure Will Prove Highly Bene-
fetal to Farmers, He
Says.

Washington. D. c., July 1S.-Presi-
dent Wilson today signed the rural
credits bill, passed recently by con-
gress. Just before signing the meas
ure, which creates a system Of IL land
loan banks under the direction Of a
federal board, the president made a
short address.
Il cannot go through the simple cere-
mony of signing this bill without ex-
pressing the feeling that 1 have in
signing it." said the president. 1T Is
with a feeling Of profound satisfac-
ton and real gratitude that we have
completed this piece Of legislation,
which ! will hope will be immensely
beneficial to the farmers Of the coun-
try.
The farmers, 1t seems to me, have
occupied hitherto a singular position of
disadvantage. They have not had the
same freedom to get credit on their
real estate that others have had who
were in manufacturing and commercial
enterprises. While they have sus-
tanned our life they did not in the same
degree with some others share In the
benefits of that life.
Therefore, this bill along with the
very liberal provisions of the federal
reserve puts them on an equality with
all others who have genuine assets and
makes the great credit of the country
available to them.
II look forward to the benefits of this
bill not with extragavant expectations,
but with confident expectation that 1t
will be of very wide reaching benefit
and incidentally it will be OF advantage
TO the investing community, for l can
imagine no more satisfactory or solid
investments than this system will at
ford those who have money to use"
The president used two pens in sign
ing the bill, and gave one of them to
Senator Fletcher, of Florida, who asked
permission to present 1t to the southern
commercial congress.
In addition to the members OF the
House and Senate the signing was wit
messed by David Lubin, one of the
originators Of the bill, and representa-
tives Of the national grange. the Far
mers' Education and Cooperative
union, the Farmers National Congress
and the National Council OF Farmers
Cooperative association.
Secretary MacAdoo conferred with
the president on the question OF Sc
lection Of member Of the new farm loan
board. Among those understood to be
under consideration are:
Herbert Quick; w. w. Flanagan, sec
rotary Of the joint congressional COM
mittee of rural credits; F. J. II. Won
Engelken, Of Florida; c. B. Kegley, of
Washington; b. NJ. Ralston and H. P.
Clore, Of Indiana; j. L. Coulter, of West
Virginia and II. A. Moehlentah, Of Wis
consin. Secretary MacAdoo Is an ex-
officio member, and four will be ap-
pointed by the president.

The naval building program was de-

Is radically different from the House

PROHIBITION PARTY

Bid For Bull Moose Sup
port-Nominee Still
In Doubt.

st. Paul, Mimi, July 1S.-Rival fac
lions in the national prohibition party
are lining up their forces today for next
Wednesday. Whether the control OF the
party shall be retained by the old guard
which has fought 40 years on a princi-
pie, or captured by the newer element
which is willing to change the party's
name and adopt John NJ. Parker, of
Louisiana, or some other progressive as
q vice presidential candidate Is the chief
question at issue.
Virgil G. Hinshaw, of Chicago, ma
tional chairman declared today that he
believes the remnants Of the progress
sive party are waiting anXiously for an
invitation to join with the prohibition
lists.
1T was Colonel Parker who urged
Victor Murdoch to become a candidate
for the prohibition party's nomination
for vice president" Mr.. Hinshaw said.
His action Of Saturday in calling a
new progressive convention at Chicago,
August 5, leaves me in the dark as to
his intentions. Since Roosevelt dis
owned the party he founded many
prominent progressives In addition to
Colonel Parker have made overtures to
us. One Of these Ia Raymond Robins, Of
Chicago"
Prohibition leaders have discussed
seriously the advisability oc changing
their party name. Eugene n. Foss, Of
Massachusetts, has said the ticket
could win the coming campaign with
himself as it's leader and a new name
that would embrace more than the
single issue Of prohibition.
Opposed to the new ideas OF fusion.
changes OF name and adoption of the
serving progressives, are a number of
leading prohibitionists, among them
Eugene w. Chafin. presidential nominee
in 1S0S and 1912.
