Boys Without Experience.

BY an agreement with the Depart
ment of Agriculture the Department of
Labor is enrolling boys who have not
had farm experience. The Department
of Agriculture is preparing to organ
ize boys possessing farm experience
into the Agricultural Reserve. Boys I'M
der sixteen will not be taken away
from home by the Boys Working Re-
serve. They will be allowed to serve in
their own neighborhood, if need arises,
but not sent out of the control of their
parents. Boys of sixteen years and
over will be organized into bands. with
each a leader having competent expert
ence, and given opportunity to do very
practical work in the fields.
Those who present their applications
and obtain the consent of their parents
will be required to pass physical ex-
animation, and, if admitted, will be
given a badge of membership. The
badge is to be made of metal and is
grounded on the great seal of the
United States, surrounded by the title
of the organization. The same badge
is to be used by the Department of
Agriculture. In the Labor Departments
organization the title will be Boys
Working Reserve. U. S. A In the De-
partment of Agriculture the title will
be Agricultural Reserve" The first
lot of badges will be ready in a few

Representative Hubert is of the
opinion that II aeronaunc activities
and scientific skill it will be the de-
Gliding factor in the war. He urges
that while 1t will take from nine
months to a year to train and put
on the European battlefields. 1000 avi-
ators can be put there in much
shorter time and that every effort
should be bent toward this end
He points out that there will be no
necessity for evoking the draft in order
to procure the necessary recruits for
this service and substantiates his view
point with the statement that an es-
innate of those who have applied for
training in the past few months at the
War and Navy departments would be
conservative IL placed at 10000. The
Aero Club of America. he said, alone
has received 1000 applications in the
past three months. including hundreds
of applications from college men. some
of whom have already been trained at
private expense.
Airplanes to Guard Coast.
1t is the claim of Representative Hull
bert that aeroplanes in great numbers
will be necessary to guard the coast of
America and the sea lanes to Europe,
as well as the actual lighting forces
with the army which ii is contemplated
sending to France.
1T cost Great Britain approximately
$3.50. 100000 to build her present air
service" he said, half of which was
spent for the naval air service and
aerial coast patrol. What would the
fate of the allies have been if Great
Britain had >hesitated in investing this
large sum? And now that the United
States is about to undertake to ship
billions of dollars worth Of supplies.
we are in need of an equally substantial
air service to protect our ships and u

PLANNING TO PROMOTE
BOYS WORKING RESERVE
Secretary Wilson Appeals to the
Governors of States for
Cooperation.

Te1egraphic appeal to the governors
of all of the states in the Union to CO.
operate in extending the organization
of the United Boys Working Reserve
was made yesterday by Secretary Will
liam B. Wilson of the Department of
Labor. The boys reserve is an organ
ization for the purpose of getting boys
on the farms and in the canning fac
tories to assist in maintaining the food
supply of the country.
Each governor was asked in the mes
sage to accept membership. either per-
sonally or by representative. on the
national committee of the reserve. and
to appoint in each county of his state
for the reserve. The governors also Pfo
asked to publish proclamations calling
upon all boys to enroll in the reserve.
Enrolment in the Cities.
The Boys Working Reserve is being
enrolled in many of the cities and al
ready has several thousand members.
Director William E. Hall of New York
is engaged in perfecting details of the
organization. The national committee
of the reserve is composed of leading
public-spirited men. By subcommittee
it is working with various organiza-
tons on details, which will be submit
ted to the national defense conference
of representatives of the states at
Washington Wednesday. Plans are in
contemplation looking to training the
boys for farm work, and methods for
employing the boys both in planting
and harvesting are being formulated.
1t is intended to employ boys from the
large cities of the east and middle west
in the canning industry. For this pur-
pose arrangements are being made
through the National Gamers Associa-
ton to ascertain what farmers planting
for canning purposes wish to have ad-
ditional help, and where and when the
help will be needed. Farmers doing
such planting should communicate with
the canning factory nearest their loca-
ton. which will notify the Gamers as

 was sent here as a spy and worked unwilingdy under Rudolps F1amen- dinghe, now under arrest in Los An geles, Last November, according to his alleged story, the youth went with four. other German agents to the Gulf of Mexico to select sites for military bases.

Rebels in Cuba Warned by U. S.
 To Swear Fealty

Havana, May 1S-The American Minister has made public document issued by the United States Govern ment which urges Cuban rebels to swear allegiance to the Cuban gov- ernment. If they do not, the state ment says, it may become necessary for the United States to regard them as enemies and deal with them ac- cording1y. The warning said:
 .-The declaration of war against the Imperial German Government by the Government of Cuba has been re- ceived by the United States with feel ings of deep appreciation and friend ly pride.
 Now that the Cuban and American people are even more closely bound together by lasting ties of common interest, the government of the Uni- ted States feels that it is incumbent upon it again to reiterate it's many published statements concerning it's attitude toward those Cubans who are under arms against the Constitutional government and to add in emphatic terms that it considers that the time J has now arrived when all national { political questions must be set aside l in the face of the grave international danger.
 !, It is felt necessary to state that in the present war, in order to insure lvictory. Cuba, as well as the United Estates, has two great obligations, one military and the other economic.
