SOCIALISTS DEMAND PEACE
Radicals in Germany Seek End of
War: Don't Want Annexation.

COPENHAGEN. via London March
2G-The radical Socialist organiza-
ton I'm Germany which, after having
being read out of the regular So
ciaist ranks. now is forming new
party. has issued program as a
reichstag resolution. The program
demands among other things speedy
peace and no nations by any Of
the belligcrents.
Other plauhs in the program de-
mand the responsibility of the chan
ccllor to the reichstag, by which he
may be dismissed and legislation IN
Producing universal equal suffrage in
the federal states.
The influence Of the new party,
tho ii is considerable among the
working classes in a few of the large
cities, is absolutely nil with the gov
crnment and its demands on parlia
ment are not apt to accelerate peace
by a day. The old Socialist organ on
the other hand is patriotic" and can
not be expected to Wavcr in its sup
port of the government as long as the
attitude of the entente toward peace
negotiations remains unchanged.

TREES FOR SPRING PLANTING
Select Varieties Suited to Localities
AND Get Those Free From Flaws
Of Any Kind.

Consideration Of fruit tree varieties
for spring planting should not be long
er delayed. In making out an order
special care should be exercised to
select varieties suited to the locality,
and to secure trees true to name, thor
oughly healthy. entirely dormant and
free from all evidence Of premature
digging. faulty storage or improper
handling of any kind.
This is best accomplished by or
dering direct from responsible nur-
series, after submitting requirements
to several firms for bids. It is imma-
terial where the nursery is located, If
the varieties and quality Of stock are
right, and any nursery can hold trees
until the right time for planting. One
year-old trees, which are Of good size
but not overgrown, are recommended
by the Pennsylvania agricultural ex-
pertinent station. For home orchards
or local markets, a wide range Of va
rieties covering the entire season is
desirable.

COCKTAILS TELLS WHY
SHIP PLANS CHANGED

The reason for the Emergency
Fleet Corporation changing its plans
with reference to the method of fl
nancing construction of wooden
ships for the government is outlined
in letter from Major General
George W. Goethals, head of the
corporation, to A. w. Gregg, repre-
senting this district. The letter was
written in reply to a telegram from
the Galveston Commercial Associa-
ton to Congressman Gregg, request
ing that he made every possible eff
fort to induce the government to
carry out its original plans. General
Cocktails letter was addressed to
Mr.. Gregg and was sent by him to
the COMMERCIAL Association. The
communication in part follows:
"The question of adopting the
lump sum bid for the construction
of vessels resulted after a hearing
before the committee on appropria-
tons, in which it developed that in
. contract made on a plus percen-
tage basis, in the vicinity of Atlanta.
the contractor took advantage of it
to boost the cost of labor and ma
terials in order to increase his own
profit, resulting in hardships to
other contractors doing private
work.
81 never favored the cost plus
percentage basis for construction of
ships. 1t leaves the government
without any information as to the
probable cost, and it has no recourse
but to pay whatever the contractor
sees fit. Under such system it will
be absolutely impossible to carry out
with any hope of accomplishment
any prearranged schedule. If the
same policy is adopted throughout
the United States, injustice can re-
suit to no one, and this policy was
established for the Pacific coast
prior to the hearing referred to.
IF the United States protects the
contractor on the contingencies Of
labor and material, and, in fact, un-
dertakes to pay for and furnish the
material, it is not seen wherein any
hardship is imposed upon a contrac-
tor who has the necessary facilities,
and financial backing
to assume the responsibility of
contract, if we take the contingent
cies."

important Factor.

The results of fruit-handling inves-
legations during the past few seasons
show that the most important factor
in determining the condition of either
fruits or vegetables in transit and after
arrival on the market is the tempera.
ture maintained in refrigerator cars
during transportation.
All fresh fruit is alive, and the life
activities continue with greater or less
rapidly until it goes into consumption
the temperatures maintained in tran
sit determine to great degree both
the rate of ripening and the develop
ment of fungi and other decay-produc-
ing organisms.

KILL ORCHARD INSECT PESTS
During Dormant Period Of Trees Much
Valuable Work May Be Done by
Strong Sprays.

Valuable work in the control of or
chard insect pests may be accom-
plished during the winter and early
spring. Certain destructive insects are
held in check only by spraying during
the dormant period of trees when
stronger washes may be used than
when the trees are in foliage.
Many insects Of the orchard spend
the winter on the trees in the egg,
larval, or pupal stage, and their de-
struction in the course Of pruning or
other orchard work is practicable and
is Of much importance in keeping them
reduced.
