French Premier Charges Rus sian President With Negot- iating For Separate Peace Conventions.
CONFERENCES TO END
 WAR TERMED USELESS
Socialists Are Denied Permis- sion To Attend Stockholm Meeting; RequestFor Secret Meeting Granted.
(By Review Leased Wire).

n ARIS, June l.-(3:50 p.
 m.)-Premier Ribot today . announced in the French chamber of deputies that the government would not facili- tate the voyage of French So- cialists to the international Socialist congress at Stock holm.
 All the deputies, except the Socialists stood and cheered when Premier Ribot added:
 Peace can come from vic tory alone.
 Continuing, the premier said:
 Tt is certain that in peace negotia- tions no party can take the place of the government. The peace of tomor- row cannot be a peace of any party, neither of the Socialist party nor of the Catholic party. AS it concerns France, it should be French peace. When the hour comes, the government will ask the advice of your committee and it will tell everything. The gov ernment has a complete knowledge of it's responsibility.
 Would Be laughable.
 ''It would be laughable if one sought to make the country and army believe that peace could come from such con ferences. Victory alone can bring in the United States if we allowed Americans to believe there was weari- ness among us after three years of war? Our energy must continue in' domitable."
 Premier Ribot then referred to what he terms an "audacious and impudent campaign" 10 spread reports that se- cret agreements had been signed with Russia, adding:
 We shall ask the Russian govern ment to publish all the documents in question at an early date"
 Tt is even said" the premier ex- claimed, that secret convention with Russia which is offensive and monde fensive exists and that it was executed by the president of the republic him. self. Gentlemen, this is an infamy."
 The premier closed with the an nouncement that the government was ready to arrest certain elements charged with melting riots and that the government also would see that foreign residents in France did not escape responsibility to the military laws of their own countries.
 Secret Session.
 Marcel Caichin, the Socialist deputy, arose after the premier had concluded and said that the country could not be told the whole truth. Deputy Caichin, who recently returned from Russia, said he had brought documents from Russia which he desired to lay before a secret session of the chamber. The secret session was voted by a large majority and the galleries were cleared.

Number of War Army Can comments Is Ordered Re duced From B To l6 By The War Department.
DRAFT ARMY MAY BE
 HOUSED UNDER TENTS
Best Equipped And Recruited National Guard Forces Will Be Made Ready First For Service Abroad.
CBv Review Leased Wire.

WASHINGTON, June 1.-lmportant revisions in the plan for training the war army have been made by the war department, which announced today that the half-million men to be called to the colors in September would be concentrated in 16 cantonments in- stead of 32, and that many of the forces probably would be put into tents instead of wooden barracks.
 Lack of funds, material. labor and transportation facilities, Secretary Ba- ker said, were determining influences in the decision to reduce the number of cantonments. The previous plan to build 32 of the camps was reported, it was explained, after congress had appropriated S77,000,0OO on the theory that there would be only Is.
 Four Sites Selected.
 Four of the 16 cantonment sites pro vided for under the new plan already have been selected, and choice of the others is expected soon. Secretary Baker indicated that building would proceed as rapidly as possible. The four sites selected are at American Lake, Wash; Atlanta, Ga; Ayre, Mass, and Wrightstown, N. J.
 A more plentiful supply of canvas than expected made it possible to put some of the troops under tents. A can vas shortage was largely responsible for the original plan to house the army in wooden barracks, for army officials have preferred tenting from the start Most of the tents used probably will be placed at southern camps.
 In making the announcement, Secre- tary Baker said also that forces in excess of those which could be cared for in the 16 cantonments would be placed under canvas. This was taken as referring to National Guard divi- sions. although the militia bureau has received no instructions in this re- gard.
 Guards Are Needed.
 There is no indication of any inten- tion to alter the plan for formation of 4o uih lSlOIS Ol llle SudTu- I He QueS- tion of filling these up to war strength probably will not be settled until selec- tion of men for military service in the draft army begins. It is possible that it will be found at that time, if state forces have not been recruited to full strength, to consolidate into smaller number of divisions; but un- der the law either the regulars or guard can be filled up with men from the selected lists if that is desired.
 Meantime the National Guards of the eastern portion of the country will be drafted into the federal armies on July 15.
 All of the guard units will have been drafted into service by August ,. That does not mean, however, that all will have been ordered to divisional train

Farmers of tina South are bet
ter of by half billion dollars
than they were this time last
year." says President Fairfax
Harrison, of the Southern rail
way system, referring to the
figures of aggregate crop values
published by the United STATES
Department OF Agriculture.
These figures show" said Mr..
Harrison, THAT In the States of
Virginia, North Carolina, South
Carolina, Florida, Kentucky,
Tennessee, Alabama and Miss
issippi, the total value of all crops
grown in 1916 was 81 1882. go 900,
as compared with $1.s77 352, 900
in 1915. an increase of $5o4, 7oS, oG
or 80 "a per cent These figures
are arrived at by taking the re
ported values of thirteen principal
crops as to which the Agricul-
ture Department collects annual
statistics and adding values for all
other crops based on the percen-
tages OF the thirteen crops to all
crops as shown by the census of
1910 While the increased total
value shown is, in large part due
o higher prices for farm products
it is truly remarkable when taken
in connection with the unfavora-
lie weather conditions which per-
vailed in large part of the terri
tory. In some localities. as a re-
suit of adverse weather conditions
and the damagedone by the Mex
lean boil weevil, crops yields we're
