London, Mar. l5.-London is past

from German submarine comman-
ders. but nevertheless reports Of
some of the details OF the sinking
of the steamer Algonquin aroused in

Survivors stories showed the U

the survivors when they refused any
aid in towing the ships life boats
nearer shore. The Algonquin's crew
was almost. used up" when picked
up. owing to twenty-seven hours of
strenuous pulling at the oars afloat.
They insisted the submarine, which
was variously identified as the U-3S
and the U-39, sent rain OF shells at
the Algonquin from a considerable
distance and seemed bent on demol-
ishing life boats by this 'salvo, be-
fore approaching near enough to fin

The United Press was authorized
to state them today as the opinion
OF high officials. Name OF these per-
sonages cannot be given. for obvious
reasons, But the unanimity OF
their view reflects the attitude OF
the French government itself.
These officials have not altered In
the least their confidence in complete
victory for France and her ten al
lies. The French people are pre-
pared cheerfully to endure every sac
rifice in achieving this victory.
But that cheerful spirit Of sacri-
flee and certainty Of belief in the
future triumph. does not lessen their
realization that II America enters
the war. the victory will come sooner
and the period OF sacrifice will thus
be shortened for the allies.
With America aligned with the

cided. the French believe. The gov
eminent believes such decision will

THE RUSSIAN REVOLUTION

II the Russian revolution is sue
cessful as passage OF dispatches by
the British censor indicates il is, it
would tend to show as one of the
history making events of the century.
according to the United Press cor
respondent at London. 1t is tri-
umph of democracy over absolutism.
That the revolutionists intend 10
maintain the outward form Of the
government is indicated in the re-
port. passed by the British censor,
that the car may abdicate in favor of
his Is year old son. Such a course
would undoubtedly be approved by
the duma elements. But the report
that the czar will step down indicates
he is to be shorn Of all his previous
autocratic powers.
About the czarecitch. who is only
13 years Of age. there has always
been the greatest mystery. Four
girls were born to the czarina before
the czar's long hoped for son arrived.
In his infancy there we're various cir
cumstantial stories that he had been
crippled by a fanatic; that he was
weak-minded; that he was sickly;
that he had died. Certainly he was
surrounded by every known resource
OF the car to guard this child--the
last OF the line. The crown would
have passed to another branch OF the
family had this much-prized son died.
The Russian constitution does not
permit daughters of monarch to
succeed to the throne.
There have been at least eight diff
rerent parties in the duma. Prob
ably more have been formed within
the last few months. The groups
known prior to the war included:
The extreme right, the nationalists.
the octobrists, the constitutional-dem-
ocrats, the peaceful regenerators.
the social democrats. the laborists
and a group Of Poles, Mussulmen
etc.
Gar Nicholas is the only world
figure of complete autocratic control
left in these modern days. His very
title-emperor and autocrat OF all
the Russias suggests his power.
But the car has always been re-
garded as weak and vacillating, a
prey to superstitous inflences, man
Of indecision and negation. Some one
else was always behind the throne. =

The only recent news from Petro-

Of Russian disorders. II seems like

LATE SEASON TO
MAKE SHORT CROPS

Washington, Mar. 10. Abnormal
weather conditions and n scarcity OF
labor viii greatly affect the spring
planting of cotton and all other
crops, according to information oh
tanned by the United Press today at
the department Of agriculture.
In previous years. the first plant
Ing has begun in the extreme
southern belt about March 10, but
on account Of a heavy freeze In this
sone, planters have been delayed In
starting their work. This unusual
condition prevails all through the
south and the delay In planting Is
certaip to be the same In all the
cotton sones, according to depart
ment officials.
Information has reached the de-
partment that labor is scarcer than
at any former planting season. The
price OF labor has advanced from 10
to 2b per cent and Is hard TO yet
at any price. The shortage OF la
Dor is being felt. not only In the
cotton growing states. but also In
the great grain states In the west,

average wage OF the male laborer Ia
ses,s5 per month with board. while
II Ia sass without board.
Those conditions are certain 10
result in small crops with attendant
high prices" said a department Of
lcial today. He predicted that cot
ton might even 20 higher than the
peak price Of 1913 cents per pound,
reached last year.
One important factor In the fore
cast OF high price for cotton 10
the action OF the federal shipping
board In Its endeavor to construct a
large American fleet OF wooden sea
jitneys to take care OF our commerce.
Last year vast stores OF cotton
were tied up for the lack OF bottoms

is able to carry out It's present plan.
this fleet OF 5000 to 1000 ton wood
en- motor boats will be In service by
the time the cotton crop Is ready for
the market and many OF the boats
can be used to handle the cotton ex-
ports.
The department reports that the
cold weather In the south. especially
In Florida. Texas and southern Cal
ifornia has partly destroyed the early
crops OF vegetables. This early vege-
table crop will be from three to four
weeks later than usual The weather
at the points mentioned reached n
temperature OF "a degrees above zero
or eight degrees below freezing point.

ment state that potatoes were frozen

The lettuce crop was almost totally
destroyed. Watermelons. canta-
loupes and all other tender vege-
tables In southern California were
killed.
In many cases re-plantlng Of the
crops has been made.

Umatilla county realizes the neces-
sity OF conserving the garden pro-
ducts as evidenced by the interest
taken in the canning and drying OF
regeta bles. The only way in which
to obtain the best results from the
gardens this year is TO put the per-
ishabIe vegetables in some form 80
that they can be used next winter.

tell. Umatilla county club leader has

tion for the people or UHtatilla coun-

The interest manifested by Umaun-
la county in this has led Mr.. Montell

Ganizing canning clubs in the coun-
ty. Each community so far visited
has been sufficiently Interested in
the conservation work to make it
worth while to put the canning
work on a commercial basis. The

ket and arrangements have been
made to dispose of the jars in the

and the call from all parts of the
world for increased production.

HOME DRYING OF VEGETABLES

This is the advice Of specialists Of

who recently have studied the possibil-
tiles Of conserving food to meet war
needs in spite of any difficulties that
may be experienced in obtaining can

came into general use. the specialists
point out. and modern methods make
ii still more practicable than former
ly. either in the home or BY community
groups.
Methods of DRYING.
Three methods of drying have been
found by the department specialists
to give satisfactory results. These are
sun drying, drying by. artificial heat
and driving with air blasts, as before
an electric fan. Trays for drying by
any one Of these methods as we'll as
