Kitchener once said that he, did not
know when the war would end. II do
know. however" he said, when it will
begin. 1t will begin in May" And be-
.lxiii III May it did. Kitchener knew
y how long it would take England to
make up for her years of unprepared'
mess and to get into the war in earn
ssest. The administration at Washing.
ION does not seem to have inherited
any such knowledge from Kitchener
~ to have derived it from any other
aOurce. There is no telling when the
var will begin, so far as the United
States is concerned. There is ire
mlendous activity in drafting legisla.

GOSSIP FROM WASHINGTON.
To Save Lives and Ships.

WASHINGTON, May 23-(Special
Correspondence)- extension OF
the work of the coast and geodetlc
survey, particularly on the Paclhc
coast, has q strong advocate in Sena.
tor Wesley L. Jones Of the state OF
Washington. Mr. Jones has collected
statistics showing that vessels valued
at almost fourteen million dollars, and
almost 500 lives have been DESTROYED
on our western coast in the last oo
years by striking hidden rocks NOT
indicated on sailing charts. The Two
old, ships that have done duty lot
many years on the coast have recent
" been condemned as unfit-fo deep
sea work, and Senator Jones is most
anprehensive that further serious
wrecks will occur unless the coast sur
yey is furnished with two new, ships
to continue the work for .chartlng the
rocks. In an able statement OF the
case to the senate the senator secured
the adoption Of an amendment provld'
ing an appropriation OF $70S,O0O 1ol
the new steamers.
Advocate of Coastwise Shipping.
No member of the house has fought
more persistently for the upbulldlns
of our merchant marine than Congress
man William S. Greene, OF Massa'
chusetts, ranking republican member
of the committee on merchant ma
rine and fisheries. 1t is largely due
to his efforts that our coastWise fleet
has been brought to its present
strength, and he has been one OF the
chief opponents, during the present
administration, of legislation intend
ed to destroy the great business enter
prises which maintain our superiority
in that regard. During the consider
alton of the bill in committee giving
the president power to take over In.
termed enemy ships Mr.. Greene .ofered
an amendment providing that such
ships should not be operated in our
coastwise trade. Although his amends
ments was defeated Y prese Mat iXe

Would loan Seed to Farmers.
% A practical way for the government
to stimulate the planting of increased
crops this year, without great expense
to the United States, has been devised
by Congressman Charles II. Dillon. Of
South Dakota. Mr.. Dillon has intro
duced bill appropriating $10,0O0,O0O
TO enable the agricultural department
to distribute seed wheat, corn and pO-
tatoes to farmers at market prices.
upon condition that q like number OF
bushels shall be returned to the gov
eminent when the crop is harvested.
The seed returned is to be sold by the
department and the proceeds deposited
in the treasury to Offset the original
appropriation. Mr.. Dillon has limited
the benefits OF his bill to farmers who
agree to plant at least 20 acres in
wheat or corn or five acres in po'
tatOes.
Wants Exemption Policy Known.
Congressman Horace N. Towner, Of
Iowa, believes that the president
should make known his exemptions
under the transcription law as soon as
possible so that the farmers may know
at the earliest possible moment what
the prospect will be for obtaining help
in the present season. Mr. Towner
