Montana-U talfSugar Com
pany Urges Farmers to
Plow Ground Now.
WILL HURRY GROWTH
Interval Between Breaking
Of Land and Seeding
Helps Crops.

Hamilton, s3idrch 31.-(Special)-C.
H. Smith, the agriculturalist for the
Montana Utah Sugar company. re-
ceived word this morning that the
sugar beet seed for the farmers who
have contracted with the Hamilton
= tory has been shipped from Seattle.
Mr.. Smith is urging the farmers to
start blowing the land that they ex-
pect to raise beets on as early as pos
sible so that it will be in good shape
when it is time to plant. II the ground
is plNwed early and then permitted to
stand for time before the harrow
ing and planting is done, 1t Is warm
and soft and the beets will grow much
faster. The sugar industry will mean
great deal to the valley and it is
hoped that a vital interest will be
taken in the work the first year. not
only by the farmers who have con-
tracted to raise beets but by all the
other residents as well. Mr.. Smith
left for Salt Lake this afternoon in
the interests OF the company. During
his absence John Cheney will have
charge Of the field work.

FLINT CREEK FARMS
HAVE LOTS OF HAY

The Flint creek valley is one section
of western Montana where the short
age of hay has not yet reached a point
where it has been necessary to ship
in feed. This statement was made by
James Featherman of Drummond. who
was in Missoula yesterday for the day.
MIR. Featherlnan stated that several OF
the farmers still had considerable hay
on hand. but that they were holding it
for the use of their neighbors and
were not shipping it out. "A good
many people do not realize what a
hay country exists between Drum
mond and Philipsburg," said Mr..
Featherman. I'VE certainly have
needed every spear Of 1t, however, and
are hoping that spring will come
sometime. and the sooner the better"

BERLIN, Monday, September 3. via
London, September "A dispatch from
Budapest says the Poster Lloyd gives
prominence to a lengthy statement
emanating from an inspired diplomatic
source at Vienna, in which the attitude
Of Austria-Hungary toward President
Wilson's reply to the Pope is set forth.
as follows:
president Wilson and the entente
are alone responsible for the terrible
disappointment occasioned by the frus-
tration of the Pope's efforts on behalf
of peace. Complete disarmament of
the German peoples is, In fact, the aim
of Mr.. Wilson. 1t is the condition he
names to the Pope as the basis for
participation by the United States in
peace negotiations.
1.-The suggestion that the undimin-
ished military strength of Germany be
disrupted in this way is not new. That
strength is based essentially on unity
among the people, army and govern
ment.''
The declaration then endeavors to es-
tablish an error in Mr.. Wilson's inter-
probation of German conditions, and
says:
president Wilson will never achieve
his goal. The artificial pathos of his
notes and addresses will never induce
the German people to relinQuish that
stage in their historical development
which it has laboriously reached, mere
ly for the purpose of relapsing into a
system of impotent and helpless small
states, nor will 1t permit itself to be
tempted into committing a breach of
faith against its rulers.
THE demand for a cheap democratic
cation of Germany is also time
worn device of its enemies. There
would really be no advantage in sub
jecting Mr.. Wilson's note to profound
scrutiny.

BLAMES PRESIDENT FOR POPE'S
FAILURE TO BRING ABOUT PEACE

Baron Won Kuehlmann. always a well
come and most estimable guest, is to-
day sojourning in Vienna. Mr.. Wilson
may rest assured that the German sec
rotary and the Austrian minister of
forfgn affairs are discussing other
matters than the establishment of new
constitutions or forms of government
for the central powers fashioned after
American patterns and dictates
Only recently Secretary Won Kuehl-
mann coined the happy phrase that not
alone might. but also right, must have
validity in politics. The entente's pol
itics Is no longer based on this. 1t is
not alone our good fortune. but as
much the good fortune of mankind at
large that the entente is lacking the
necessary might to commit injustice"

WOULD EXEMPT FARM HANDS.
Mr.. Doolittle Introduces Amend.
ment to Draft Act.

President Wilson having declined to
recommend exemption of farm laborers
from military service. Representative
Doolittle Of Kansas today introduced a
proposed amendment to the draft act
designed to bring about their exemp-
ton. 1t vas referred to the military
affairs committee.
THE farm labor shortage has in
creased until the farms are now under
manned by more than 60 per cent" Mr..
Doolittle said in a statement. THE sit
uation caused thereby has become a
real national menace to our food sup
ply By exempting bona fide farm and
meat producers from the army draft at
this time we shall not decrease the
numbers of our fighting forces; the
draft will fill UP vacancies from the less
productive occupations and require the
farmers and live stock raisers to con-
tinue in their most vital work of food
production. l consider their remaining
at work of prime necessity to the win
ming of the war"
Only persons who were engaged in
farming on last March l would be ex-
empted. Agriculturists already drafted
would be mustered out on condition
that they return to farm work.

Bremen merchants raise an indtg-
nant protest against President Wilson's
hypocritical reply to the Pope. in which
he processes to combat the German
government in order to drive tho Amer
had a quarrel. into q war which they
reject. 1t is an impudent and brazen
attempt to SOW dissension between the
government and the people and in the
German nation. while by British arbi-
trariness our non-combatants. children
and women are cut of from all outside
supplies in order to exhaust the nation
by hunger.
This attempt can only fill with in
dtgnation and contempt German mer-
in foreign lands to compare German
with foreign conditions. In this hour
Bremen merchants pledge themselves
TO unalterable allegiance to your ma
jesty. bearer. as the empires guardian.
Of the imperial crown, re-won after
centuries of long struggles by the
united German people in 1871. They
again declare their unalterable conf
dence and belief in a victorious out
come Of this righteous war Of defense"
In his speech President Fabrius said
no other enemy utterance had evolved
such wrath In every German heart as
President Wilson's note. in which the
most sacred rights Of the German ma
ton were assatled.
demonstration also was held on
the Hamburg bourse. where resolutions
similar to those adopted in Bremen
