"NO Authority" Says Lansing.
fBy Associated PreSs)

Washington, Dec. 5.-The State De-
partment has announced that Lieuten-
ant Colonel Judson, head of the Amer
ican military mission, and Major
;Kerth, temporary military attache Of
the embassy, acted without instruc-
tions in presenting communications to
the Bolsheviki on the attitude of the
United States toward the armistice.
Kerths communication was pro-
test to the Russian commander
against the armistice. Judson's was
couchsd in more knient terms. Dis
crepancies between the two mystified
officials and were not clear until to-
day. Their action was not taken on
instructions from Washington.

HOUSE OF REPRESEN-

STEP TOWARD THE
ACTION DESIRED BY
THE PRESIDENT.
Text of Bill Is That War Be-
tween the United States
and Austria Exists at
N 0on T0day-Resources
of Nation Pledged.
(By Associated Fress)


Washington, Dec. 5.-Chair-
man Floyd Of the Foreign Affairs
committee introduced a resolu.
ton into the House this morning
for war against Austria.
The president has approved the
form and language. 1t declares,
because of the warlike acts of
Austria against the United States
in support of Germany, a state
of war exists from noon today.
The resolution pledges the full
resources of the United States to
the successful conclusion of the
war. A growing sentiment to in
clude Turkey and Bulgaria prom.
ised some s\tempt to amend the
resolution, but the probabilities
are that the presidents wish to
omit them will prevail.
Officials and diplomats believe
the declaration will not only
hearten Italy, but forecast the
sending of substantial help to
that beleaguered country.
Senator Stone, one of the orig
inal "willful twelve" and a stout
opponent of the governments war
plans until the actual declaration
of war, will pilot the Austrian
war resolution through the Sen
ate as the administration spokes.

Hundreds of Delegates From Ten

Conference of the Y. M. c. A.
Eminent Men of California Will
Speak.


The Imperial Valley delegation to
the annual Southern California Old
er Boys Conference of the Y. NJ. c..
A. has returned to the Valley from
Ontario and Uplands. where the con-
ference was held this year.
With them they brought the prize
of the conference for next year. At
the Saturday noon luncheon Imperial
Valley was chosen over Santa Barbara
as the location for the next confer
ence. The decision was chiefly influ-
enced by the following considerations:
Since the Valley has been organ
lied as county work territory, the
delegations have been consistently
large and enthusiastic. The distance
is great and the members of the con-
ference decided that for once the
Imperial Valley delegates would not
be asked to cover the great distance
necessary to reach the outside. The
members further thought that visit
to the Valley would in itself be an
education to the visiting delegates,
and, furthermore, they desired to
show the people here that, though the
Valley may be distant and somewhat
difficult of access, yet they consider
Imperial Valley a necessary and in
tegral part of the Southern Califor-
MIA conference.
Ell Centro will be headquarters,
though Imperial will share with her
the burden of entertainment Of the
400 visitors. This is a treat to the
city in every way. The visitors are
live, virile young men from IA to 20,

The proper distance to space

Some claim that the roots need

some varieties including the for

Continued from last week.

Continued from last week.
If YOU wish to set out trees
for a grove or wind break it is
always best to summer fallow
the year previous to planting.
This is one of the conditions the
Great Plains station requires be-
fore they send out trees for such
purposes.
If YOU do not have sandy soil
but one that would classify as
medium good or one containing
some gumbo and hard pan you
need not be alarmed, but to keep
them growing as fast as the man

more effort. In general the sec

the above, they have never both

there were plenty of them and

matter OF great Importance but
little understood and seldom If

write to the State Agricultural
College stating your trouble and

The selection Of trees for
planting in this part Of the Da-
kotas requires care. 1t Is a
great surprise however, the great
variety which have proven alb
solutely hardy. Still there are
many varieties, especially trees
Of dwarf habits that are known
to be hardy but as yet have ncv-
CT been planted or tried out. A
few of the best varieties are the
ash, elm, poplar, willow, and bcx
elder. There is also big list Of
ornamental trees and shrubbers
which should be planted gener.

a shrub around any Of our homes.
Right her IS a great chance for
the amateur. Where he may fail
to raise tree, he undoubtedly
would succeed in raising shrub
berry or some Of the dwarf or or
namental trees and his success
would go a long ways in break
ing the bleakness Of our prairies.
That fine groves Of trees can
