 We must plant everything every where it will grow or next year the food problem will be absolutely unsolvable, and the world will face starvation.
 ''I do not believe there will be any necessity rigidly to ration the Ameri- can people, for if democracy is of any value as spiritual and political faith, the personal initiative and willingness to volunteer self-sacrifice of every member of the greatest democracy in the world will be ample to solve the problem.
 During the last fortnight we have with the collaboration of the American ambassadors in Europe laid the ground work for inter r-allied cooperation in handling and transporting the vast food supplies required from America, which will tend to ameliorate the rise in prices. I have proposed a plan by which the allies can consolidate under one hand the whole purchasing of staple fCodstuffs from our market and not only will competitive bidding be abolished, but by cooperation on our side we can arrange proper balance between the rights of producers and consumers"

LONDON, April 21.-The military situation at the present moment is dis tinctly encouraging to the entente all lies, declared Earl CurZon, member of the war council today. The govern ment leader said he did not wish his hearers to go away with the idea that the end had come just yets but there was no doubt the operations during the last fortnight on French soil con stituted a very considerable military victory. Earl Curzon said that in his opinion the military power of Germany was not sufficiently broken to induce her to accept any terms which the all lies might consider reasonable.

 French barrage fire broke up four Ger man attempts to attack north of Braye
 en-Laonnois, east of Sancy and south
 of the Chemin des Danes. In Cham pagne only artillery activity is re- ported.
 British artillery also repulsed a Ger
 man attempt to recapture the village of GOnnelieu, southwest of Cambrai,
 taken by the British Friday night. Northwest of Lens the British pushed
 forward and east of Fampouc along the north bank of the Scarpe the Ger
 mans were driven back.
 Friday afternoon strong artillery fir ing was begun along the whole River Aisne front and also in the Champagne

 this the assumption seems warranted that the French guns are blazing way
 for the infantry with a bOmbardment of drum fire intensity. The whole front of the French offensive movement is included within this field and the in fantry attack seems not unlikely to be resumed along the entire lines. Should | a break be effected by General Nivelle at any one of the numerous danger points for the Germans on this front something approaching a disaster for
 them would result, the least effort of | which would be a further enforced re-
 tirement
 As for the British, Berlin also indi- cates that they are about to resume
 their drive in the Arras battle. All the
 way from Loos. north of Lens, down
 to the Arras- Cambrai railway line, the British guns began to increase the in tensity of their fire Friday, the Ger
 mans announce. The northern end of the Hindenburg line, it may be judged, is about to suffer another hammering.
 British and French, indeed, may be ready to make a combined attack at
 each end of the line simultaneously, ill determined effort to roll it up.
 Fighting east of Courcy, the French continued their thrust towards the Bri- mont plateau, one of the chief obstacles in their advance.
 Two, possibly three, of five German | destrOyers, that attempted raid upon Dover, England, and upon British ship ping there, were sunk by two vessels of

GRAND HEADQUARTERS OF THE FRENCH ARMY ON THE FRENCH artillery duels marked todays fighting artillery fuels marked todays fighting all along the front from Craonne plat eau to Auberive, interspersed here and there with forward drives by the French infantry. Night and day the Germans were necessarily harried.
 All the positions carried by the French have been reorganized and in places further extensions have been made Nowhere did the Germans sue. ceed in re-taking any point. Hurtebiz where the French are solidly astride the Chemin DeS Danes, which gives them the opportunity of reaching Laon Pla- teau, was the point where the Germans today directed their strongest efforts to eject them. but in vain.
 The clearing up of the reconquered ground behind the advancing front waves is extremely perilous owing to the presence of small bodies of Ger mans in farms, valleys, and woods, who do not realize that they are cut off and continue to fight in hope of re- lief. Some of these were brought in today.
 Atmospheric conditions again have turned in favor of the Germans, the heavy mists hindering French obser- vation. The French generals are spar ing their men as must as possible; they never send them forward until the Ob- jectiv has been subjected to a terrific bombardment, calculated to paralyZe the occupants. The advances thus have been carried out with compara- lively small losses.

INCOME TAX, LESS PUBLICITY.
LIKE CITY WITHOUT POLICE
BY Basil NJ. Manly.


Washington, April 21.-If every
light in city Of 365,OOO were extin-
guished, and there was only one po-
lceman, would there be any bur-
glaries and highway robberies?
This question seems absurd, but it
is exactly the situation that congress
created when it provided by law that
income tax returns should be kept
secret and created only one revenue
agent for each S65, 900 people to en-
force the law.
It really a wonder that the in
come tax yields any revenue what
ever, when such remarkable oppor-
tunities for evasion are provided in
the act itself.
And it is essential, if this country
is to win the war, that full publicity
be played on income tax returns, so
there may be no opportunity to cheat
the government Of its proper revenue
needed to carry on the war
Is there any reason to be surprised
that under present conditions the
United States treasury is robbed Of at
least three hundred million dollars a
year through income tax frauds and
eVasions?
Electric lights did more to put
burglars and footpads out of bust
ness than all the police ever commits
stoned. Electric lights prevent
crime; police merely detect and pun
ish.
Publicity Of income tax returns
will do more to end tax lodging than
all the revenue agents that could be
hired. Publicity will prevent tax
lodging and frauds; the revenue
agents merely detect evasions and
impose penalties.
Turn on the light and watch the
tax thieves scatter!

FOR HONE SWEET HOME"
Speeding toward the city today,
the six council slatemakers are
working hard to settle the disputed
membership of the last two council
committees, local transportation and
gas, oil and electric light.
In spite of the efforts of the mu-
nicipal ownership boosters and the
Democrats, Aid. H. D. Captain seems
able to hold down the position he
has as head Of the local transpOrta-
ton committee. He fell into disre-
pute with a certain class of citizens
when he backed the Fisher 5O-year
franchise bill.
Because Of the big majority the
Democrats hold in the council they
will probably get eight committee
chairmanships.

Picturesque Tunnel.
At Oneonta Creek there is a great
rock rising over zoo feet above the
river in a sheer cliff. The railroad
runs on a narrow shelf of the rock
close TO the river which left no space
for the road. The only solution Of
the problem was to tunnel through the
rock. When this was planned there
was another obstacle, as there was
danger OF sending the whole mass
Of rock down on the railroad track
during the boring OF the tunnel 90
the weak spots OF the cliff had to be
found and plugged with concrete and
then a bore made through both the
concrete and natural rock. Oneonta
