 MELBOURNE Australia-Ma jor- Gen. eral William Holmes of sydney, who was killed by German shell-h in France, was commander of the Fourth Australian Division. He was the head of the military portion of the Austra- lian joint military and naval force which seized German New Guinea shortly after the outbreak of the war, conducted the British negotiations for the surrender of that territory and was the first military administrator of 1t. The office was distasteful to him, for having spent nearly all his life in mili- tary pursuits including service in the Boer War he longed for active service again This wish was fully gratified in the Gallipoli campaign and later on the western front. In France General Holmes was noted in the Australian ranks for a courage amounting often to recklessness. 1t was however a chance German shell which killed him and narrowly missed the Premier of New South Wales, William A. Holman who happened to be with him.

IDLE MEN SEE CROPS RUINED
Idaho Apples and Potatoes Freeze -
Loafers Refuse $I3.so I Day.

| In the Twin Falls district in Idaho
trees in the apple orchards are break
ing down with fruit that will never be
picked because it was ruined by the
| irccze, says Prof. T. K.~Bennett, state
l,orticultlfist in IAN interview in
Kansas City PAPER.
In the potato growing region along
the Snake River Valley L million
bushels of potatoes will not be worth
the digging, because the cold snap
caught them.
Why were the apples and potatoes
not saved?
Because hundreds OF "laboring"
men stood on the street corners of
the towns and refused to work unless
they were paid excessive wages. Po-
tato growers in the Idaho Falls dis
trict were forced to give as high
rate as $I2.5o day for labor when
harvesting their crops, and hundreds
of men would not work then, but one
or two days at time, and then Loaf
until their money was. gone.
These men were not !. w. w. ho-
boes, but the ordinary American
laborers who float from place to
place. r-,.r
. Idaho would have produced e mil
lion bushels of potatoes, but owing
to the labor shortage the state will
have only 5 million bushels" Mr.
Bennett says. "One-third of the crop.
or one hundred cars. of apples were
lost in the Twin Falls district by the
freeze, because the loafers would not
work. Five hundred cars of apples
were rendered unfit for use in the
green state in Southern Idaho by the
cold weather, but some of it will be
used by the dryers. In the Payette
Valley three hundred cars OF apples
were lost on the trees. Fifty per cent
of the Irish potatoes in the Idaho
Falls district were lost because idle
men refused to work but few days
at time, and at unrea sonable prices
at that
"Another trouble is the shortage Of
cars. and the railroads must provide
cars soon or the apple waste will be
tremendous. Growers in Southwest
ern idaho have fitted their barns, eel
lars. chicken houses and sheds with
apples-and more apples are to be
stored yet. In some places the grow
ers are burying the apples in pits and
covering them with straw. II the rail-
roads do not provide enough cars to
handle the apple crop Immediately
before excessive cold weather comes
food conservation will receive bad
Jolt"
