AIDS IN MARK ETING.

The department is helping the farm
er to market his crops by placing at
his disposal knowledge Of existing
methods and means, existing condi
tions on the large markets, informa-
ton as to demand and preferences,
available supply and crop forecasts.
AS it often is not practicable to deal
directly with the individual farmer,
aid and encouragement is given to or
CARNATIONS among farmers whenever
conditions warrant in order that
responsible center may be created for
communication with the department of
agriculture. The office of markets
and rural organization was created in
the department especially for this
double work. Extensive investiga-
tons have been necessary in order
that this knowledge be unbiased and
as accurate as possible. The informa-
ton is distributed to the farmers and
their associations by means of direct
Geographic service for the cost of the
messages in the case of certain perish
ables, by extensive news releases
through the public press, by means of
bulletins and other publications, by
means of addresses at meetings and
classes, through the county agent
system and by other direct demonstra-
tons.
In other words, the aim of the de-
partment in the work Of marketing at
present is to help the farmer to help
himself intelligently and profitably.

LONDON CENTER OF
INTEREST IN PEACE
WASHINGTON FORWARDS PROPo-
SAILS ON CENTRAL POWERS
NO COMMENT is MADE.

Washington.-Th forwarding OF the
central powers proposals for peace re-
moved the center of interest in the
peace move to the allied capitals, par
ticularly London, where the final attl-
tude of the entente is expected to nnd
expression.
With the announcement that the
proposals had gone forward without
any accompanying comment by TINS
government, speculation here turned
from what President Wilson may do
in injecting neutral mediation to what
Premier Lloyd-George will declare to
be the attitude Of the allied nations
when he speaks on the subject ID
Parliament.
The three versions Of the proposal,
differing slightly because Of the trans
latiOns made in Berlin, Vienna and
Constantinople, were harmonized In
TO one official American translation, a
single copy Of which was sent to the
American ambassadors in the seven
belligerent countries where the United
States represents German, Austrian or
Turkish diplomatic interests.
Whether any suggestion or offer 20
mediate will be made by this govern
ment until it is indicated unmistaka-
bly, that such action would be well
coined by both sides remains undeter-
mined, but President Wilson is known
to be anxious that the United States
shall not impair its usefulness as a
mediator by premature action.
Count Won Bernstorff, the German
ambassador conferred with Secretary
Lansing today seeking information or
the attitude Of the United States to-
ward the peace proposals OF the cen
trail powers; to discuss the general
subject OF peace from this govern
ment's viewpoint, and to give informa-
ton Mr.. Lansing might desire on the
attitude Of the German government
Ambassador Bernstorff said after a
10minute visit with Secretary Lans-
ing:
eve did not discuss peace terms in
any way. | have not received any
formal terms and the American gov
ernment knows officially that no form
al terms have been proposed. All Ger
many has suggested is that the belig-
gerents get together and talk. If that
proposal is accepted definite terms
naturally will be discussed, but until
then il will not be proper to mention
them My visit to the secretary was
purely for general discussion"

SUFFRAGE fight TO
Be WACED IN HOUSE
COMMITTEE REPORTED MEAS.
URE FOR CONSIDERATION
NO RECOMMENDATION.

Washington.-W Woman suffrage advo-
Gates won a partial victory in their
long fight to have the Susan B. An
thony federal amendment voted on in
Congress, when the House judiciary
committee reported the measure for
consideration without recommends
ton. A campaign now will be launched
to get a special rule to bring the
amendment before the House Tor ac-
tior, probably le time in January.
Both suffragists and anti-suffTagists
expressed satisfaction over develop
ment and are confident of victory on
the floor. Though anxious that the
resolution be reported favorably, the
suffragists were pleased because the
committee, which was generally re-
garded as hopelessly against their
cause went as far as it did. On the
other hand their opponents declare
an opportunity to have the House vote
on the issue inevitably means a de-
feat for suffrage which will settle the
question nationally for many years.
The vote in favor Of reporting the
resolution, II to s, does not represent
the sentiment Of the committee on the
issue. Some of its bitterest enemies
voted favorably, most Of them conf
dent of seeing it beaten on the floor
and desirous of quieting charges of
"smOthering" in committee.
One element of the committee, head
ed by Representative Igoe of Missouri,
sought vainly to prevent action.
1--WE are glad that the federal wo-
man suffrage amendment has finally
been reported to the House." said Miss
Lucy Burns, vice chairman of the Con-
gressional Union for Woman Suffrage,

ing for is not mere report and
vote in the House, but the passage Of
the amendment through Congress"

SAYS MOBILIZATION
Of MILITIA FAILURE
GENERAL WOOD CLAIMS COUN'
TRY is UTTERLY DEFENSELESS
AGAINST ORGANIZED FOE.
100000 MEN ARE NEEDED
Former Secretary of Interior Declares
If Pay Of Privates Were Raised to
$50 Month the Service Would Be
More Attractive to Recruits.

Washington.-The mobilization or
the National Guard for border service
was described as a military failure,
emphasizing the urgent necessity OF
abandoning the volunteer system as
the nations reliance for defense, in
statements by Major General Hugh Il.
Scott, chief of staff of the army, and
Major General Leonard Wood, COM
manding the Eastern Department, be-
fore the Senate subcommittee, COnsid-
ering the Chamberlain universal mill
tary training bill.
Both of the generals advocated uni
versal training. General Wood said
that the country now is utterly de-
fenseless against we'll organized foe;
that the mobilization was a tragedy
and that if the guardsmen had met
good troops they would never have
known what hit them" General Scott
told the committee that lessons drawn
from the present war proved that in
case Of war with first class power
the United States would Immediately
need a trained force Of 100000 men,
with another 100000 available with
in 80 days.
On the other side Of the question
the committee heard Walter l.. Fish
er Of Chicago former secretary Of the
interior, who opposed universal ser
vice, though he stood for adequate de-
fense measures and suggested regu
lar army of half a million He thought
if the pay of privates were raised to
$50 a month the service would be
more attractive to recruits.
General Wood, from whose depart.
ment went $4,000 Of the guardsmen
sent to the border said of the men en-
rolled when the call came, an average
of 80 per cent Of each company had
to be dropped for physical defects and
the organizations went to the border
filed up with green men.
ITS been a tragedy" he said "but
worth ali its cost if we only profit by
it, 1t was not the fault OF the officers
or men, but Of a defective system. II
we had been compelled to meet good
troops down there, it would have been
a scene of carnage. The guardsmen
would never have known what hit
them"
