FARM WORK IN WINTER.

The hired help is usually busy
enough until deep snow falls or
during stormy winter weather.
Then the farmer uses his wits
to find work that will be worth
while as well as just keeping the
man busy. OF course there is
the wood lot. But the pushing
farmer plans to get most of the
wood cut before deep snow.
Very deep snow makes hauling
the wood home or to market
sometimes out Of the question
for a long time. During certain
kinds Of weather there is little
outdoor work that can be done.
Sometimes a determined man
tackles a job of draining wet
land in winter. Springy land
does not hold much frost and
can be worked almost any time,
but a hired man who will dig
drains in winter is a jewel In
deed. The usual plan is to pro-
vide some work around the build
ings. There are fruit and veg
etables to pick over and grade,
floors, locks, gates, fences, stalls
and pens to be repaired, white
washing and painting to be done
inside. wagons and tools to mend
and put in working order. Tools,
knives and cutters need to be
ground. tool rooms and work
} shops to be put in order, fruit
barrels and boxes to be cleaned
} and fitted with heads or tops,
granaries to be made rat proof,
cellars to be enlarged, feeding
troughs and cow stalls to be
made, small chicken coOps and
nests to be got ready.
If only the hired man Is handy
with tools he can be kept very
, busy In winter at work under COW
er which will help save and make
} many a dollar during the first
rush of the busy season. When
ever the ground thaws for a few
days will be a good time to set
posts and gates, dig pits for hot
, bed sashes, transplant large trees
and drag rocks from the surface
of the fields.

10 Days of Armory Life
DepreSs 47th and 23d

Ten days of life in the armory with
two-hour break drilling outdoors has
served to provoke considerable feeling
OF unrest among the members OF the
Attn and 23d regiments, OF Brooklyn.
Last night there was an undercurrent
Of criticism which, Notwithstanding
the strict orders Don't talk" and a
semblance of military censorship, was
heard from officers and men affected
by the strain of waiting under orders
for a week and a half, surrounded by
friends and relatives.
The physical condition Of the men
of the 47th Regiment is such that last
night il was admitted that number
of them are ailing. II is feared that
unless marching orders are soon re-
ceived the disappointment will have a
serious effect upon the physical con-
dition of the members. All day rumors
that the orders to march had been re-
ceived caused citation, soon dashed
aside by other stories that pointed 20
camp work until tho men hardened up
for bordes service. Anything that
will bring us into a real soldiers ex-
istence is better than this sort Of
thing" said one Of tho officers yester-
day afternoon.
The latest recruit of the regiment Is
William Colman. jr., of 245 Rutledgc
Street, who is twenty-four years old,
a member Of the American Legion, who
saw service at Neuve Chapelle. After
eighteen months at the front he was
sent home suffering from chronic APP
pendicitis. He was operated on in New
Orleans. Then ne fell in love with his
nurse, married her, and hurried home.
The call Of his country was so strong
that he finally prevailed upon his bride
to consent, and yesterday ne donned
the olive drab OF the 47th Regiment.
There was much disappointment felt
yesterday that Captain George S.

their spokesman. He Is the senior
Latin-American representative here,
having come 10 Washington in 1914,
and while he is ranked by the Ambas-
.adors Of Argentina, Brazil and Chilli
S generally looked upon as the dean
Of the corps. =,
The Latin-AmericaRs are convinced
that unless mediation or arbitration is
restored to war with Mexico is inevi-
table. The Carizal affair, they say, is
only a sample OF what must be ex-
oected at any moment unless a definite
agreement is reached as TO the status
IF the American troops in Mexico. At
present. it is asserted, they have no
egal status whatever, and their pres
,nce is therefore an act of hostility in
itself.
Mediation Plan Outlined.
The first object of the Latin Ameri-
cans is 10 have the principle Of media
ton accepted by the two governments.

steps TO meet this danger, and It is
hoped that Carranza will do the same,
thus assuring safety pending negotia-
tons. Some doubt is felt as TO Car
.ranza's ability 10 enforce such orders,
but il he does give them that fact
would make il easy for him TO disavow
any offensive action by his men. In
structions have been sent TO General
Pershing TO do nothing which might
cause friction unless it is absol utely
necessary, and his withdrawal TO
Colonia Dublsn is understood TO have
been partly to meet this situation.
Granted time, however, observers be-
lieve the chances are excellent Tor a
clearing up that will last. President
Wilson's anxiety to prevent war has be
come increasingly evident IN the last
few days. His statements that ne
would willingly sacrifice his own po-
litical future if necessary TO preserve
peace has been emphasized to many
persons to-day, and II is expected ne
will make all possible concessions IN
an effort TO come 10 an understanding
Reports from Mexico City indicate a
similar state of mind in Carranza. The
show of force by this country, the hrm
stand which the President finally took
eminent TO stand no more robustness
seem TO have impressed him deeply. 4,
Diplomats here have smiled in point
ing out how, in the last previous crisis,
il was Carranza who was making
threats and Wilson who was trying 70
avoid trouble in this one It has been
the other way around.
Two possible methods Of ending the
border friction are seen by observers
here. Mediation plans are already lar
advanced among the American
diplomats, and it seems certain that
within a few days formal offers will be
before Secretary Lansing and the Pres
ident.
II is certain also that direct negotia-
tions will be tried. The Presidents an
nouncement that there would be 10
formal war with Mexico in any case
and the intimations that there would
be no extended invasion Of the country
are believed 70 furnish the Keynote 10
the form these negotiations would take
II is expected they would centre in an
agreement for a neutral zone for per-
hans fifty miles south Of the border, IN
which troops Of both governments
would cooperate in pursuit OF oandlts
and protection of the border.
A plea for arbitration was mace 10
the President to-day by committee
composed of Professor Irving Fisher
Of Yale University; Professor Il. A.
Overstreet, of New York City College,
and Mrs. Amos Pinchot- They asked
the President to invoke the treaty OF
ls4s, which provides for settlement OF
disputes by an impartial commission.
The committee was appointed at a
mass meeting held in New York last
night under the auspices Of Labor, So
cial Service and Educational societies.
Mr.. Wilson thanked the committee
for its suggestion, but refused to COM
nit himself to any action on It

Nothing was received relating 70 any
incident in Mexico which might be the
lssis for charged contained in Mr.. Ar
redondo's note that American troops
had mistreated large number of
Mexican citizens. The note will be
submitted 70 General Funston, so that
a report from General Pershing may
be obtained.
In spite Of the relaxation of tension,
the Administration does not contem-
plate any present slowing down Of mil
itary preparations. No order has been
sent 70 stop the rush Of militia to the
border. and none is likely TO go. II IL
believed in official circles that the in
huenee of the gathering armies will be
salutsry in negotiations and that 1t
will be good both for this country and
for Mexico 10 demonstrate just what
can be done. The value of the mobili-
zation, in view Of other possible foreign
complications, also has had weight IN
deciding 70 let preparations continue.
The passing Of the crisis. however,
was marked by the abandonment of all
talk Of the President going before Con-
cress. and arrangements are being made
for him to make trips TO Philadelphia
and New York, which had been tenta-
lively promised. IL is now expected
he will leave here tomorrow morning
for Philadelphia, and speak there in
the afternoon, returning in the even
ing, and that on Friday he will go 70
New York for an address there before
the Press Club.
Both in Administration and Latin
American circles the feeling toni ut is
that the chances Of settlement Which
will take most Of the danger out OF
the Mexican question are brighter than
they have been for months. The one un
debatable question, the release OF the
prisoners, has been settled to the sat
isfaction Of this country. All others,
1t is believed, can be negotiated.
The Carrizal incident, IL is now be-
lieved, will be dropped Administration
officials have been much less inclined
TO discuss this since the publication of
Captain Morey's report. which they
said indicated that at least part Of the
blame rested on the American troopers.
Secretary Of War Baker has refused
20 give out the latest reports received
concerning that fight, on the ground
that he is waiting TO get full and Off
eial story Of the conflict. II, as many
now expect, that full report shows the
blame divided, it is believed that
neither side will care to press the mat
ter further.
The chief danger TO peace is felt TO
lie in the attitude Of the soldiers fac
ing each other in the desert. The i'll
feeling on each side is so great that
Il is feared it may not be possible TO
prevent another clash, in spite Of the
best intentions on the part of the two
governments Officers and men on both
sides are known 10 be aching for re-
venge for the Carrizal fight.
