GRASS AND PASTURE PLANTS
Growth Limited by Weeds, Brush, Etc.,
and by Washing Away Soil on
Sloping Places.

Remember there are generally only
two conditions which prevent South
ern lands becoming covered with
grasses or other pasture plants. The
most common one is the growth OF
weeds, brush and other non-pasture
plants, but there is another, the wash
ing away of the soil from exposed OF
sloping places.

BERLIN EXPLAINS
GERMAN RETREAT

Berlin, March 2l-The morning
newspapers gave the German public
its first news OF the big events on the
front in France.
All publish articles by military ex'
perts explaining the movements rs
part of the strategical plan OF the
general staff for a decision on the
Western front and a master stroke
to vitiate the preparations of the en-
tente for an offensive, giving a de.
cided advantage to the Germans.
These writer's are unanimous In ex.
pressing the fullest confidence In Field
Marshal Won Hindenburg. The
Deutsche Tages Zeitung says:
This is not the first strategic re.
treat Won Hindenburg has executed In
this war. 1t is necessary only to re.
member his great retreat from before
Warsaw and the partial evacuation OF
Transylvania. Thus far these retreats
of Won Hindenburg always have borne
fruit hundredfold, so that we may
face the new measure of our highest
military command with well founded
confidence and the fullest assurance
that 1t furnishes the preliminary to
new German successes"

GERARD TALKS ON
ALIEN FOE MENACE

New York. March 21.-One OF the
greatest problems the United States
will have to face if we ever enter the
war will be that OF dealing with "our
alien enemy population" James w.
Gerard, former ambassador to Ger
many, declared in an address before
the New York chamber of commerce.
The question is" he said, shall
we intern them, as was done In Ger
many, or shall we allow them to roam
at large, destroying bridges or any
thing else they CAM"
MIR. Gerard urged his hearers to go
forth as missionaries Of preparedness
He said he favored preparedness be
cause he believed that universal mill
tary service, as practiced in Germany
Is the best training and discipline fol-
a nation.
The United States, he said, Is just
now in IAN unpleasant position and
unprepared for what might come"

GREClAN BLOCKADE RAISED
Entente Permits Admission Of Cargo
OF Wheat.

London, March 21.-The ministers
to Greece Of the entente nations have
again taken up their residence In
Athens, Reuters correspondent there
reports. The discharge of cargo of
wheat is under way
The admission of wheat indicates
the lifting of the blockade which has
been in effect for several weeks. The
Greek government has made repeat
ed representations that widespread
suffering was being caused by the
shutting of of food supplies, to which
the entente responded that the block
ade would be lifted when Greece has
complied fully with it's demands.
The most important of these de.
mands were the transfer OF the army
to lower Greece and the disbanding OF
the reservists, for the purpose OF re-
moving the possibility OF an attack
by Greek troops on the rear OF the
allied forces In Macedonia.

BOAT is STRUCK By SHELL
Eight Men Killed When Submarine At
tacks Relief Ship.

London, March 2l-Three officers
and five seamen from one of the Bel
eian relief steamers which had letters
of safe conduct from the German lega-
tion in Amsterdam ~ere killed when
the ship was attacked by German
submarine and shelled.
There is some confusion over the
identity OF the steamer. Reuters re-
ports from Stavanger say it was the
Selein, which is not listed in available
shipping records The ship may have
been the SelOne.
When the attack came, the ship did
not stop, but lowered a lifeboat, into
which the first. second and third mates
ard five members of the crew took to
the open seas. The boat was struck
by shell from the submarine.

ARMY HEADS ARE ACTIVE
Quietly Making Preparations in the
Event Of War.

Washington March ~ On the sur
face the war department is taking no
steps toward making ready for war.
The facts are, however, that very
complete plans for rehabilitation OF
the guard have been made to procure
promptly enough additional officers to
organize a force OF 100000 volunteers.
No move to call out such an army
can be made, however without con
eressional authorization.
Recruiting for the regular army still
is making good progress. Reports
given out show that thirteen districts
obtained more men during February
than they were required TO enlist tc
fill their quota fixed by the depart
ment.

there are no indications that Presi-

On the other hand there were some in
dications that the session date would

policy OF armed neutrality to its full.
est degree are being hurried in the
navy department. The possibilities
OF their execution range even to ac
tive cooperation at sea with the Brit

Ii was learned definitely before the
cabinet meeting that the president
while considering deliberately all
phases of the situation, had not final
ly made up his mind on any forward
step beyond the active nreparation OF
the navy for any eVentualitv.
For the present President Wilson
is taking the position that at all events
the nation must be placed in better
state of preparedness because he he
lieves that from a practical standpoint
Germany is making war on this coun

The duma committee having fulfilled

with any certainty the final form the

The belief prevails in official cir
cles that the opinion of the country
will be found to favor a republican
form of government, not under presl

to the governing body OF Switzerland

not unlikely that from the present

leaders in the country, will be drawn

VOTE ON LIQUOR.
Final Vote on the Food Bill Next
Week.

Washington, July 6.-Final dispo-
sition by Friday night of the prohibit
ton issue was forecast when the food
control bill was again taken up by
the senate. Indications are that the
so-called administration compromise
providing that distillation of food
stuffs for intoxicating beverages shall
cease but not prohibiting the manu-
facture of beer and wines, will be
adopted by a big majority.
Under threat of invoking the clo-
ture rule, Senator Chamberlain, in
charge of the food control measure,
obtained unanimous consent to be-
gin consideration of the prohibition
section at 2. p. m. Friday. The time of
each senator speaking will be limited
to ten minutes upon the Gore amend
ment, prohibiting manufacture Of dis
titled beverages during the war and
giving the president authority to sus-
pend manufacture of malt, fermented
or vinOus intOxicants and to limit their
alcoholic contents. Upon amendments
and substitutes to the Gore plan each
senator will be limited to five minutes.
Senator Chamberlain announced
that on Saturday he would seek an
other unanimous consent agreement
for final vote not later than Wednes-
day or Thursday, and he believed it
would be obtained without using the
clOture motion.

particularly dangerous stretch of
road In the mountain Businesses Of
Kentucky. A cow, dazzled by the head
ftgAt, failed to get out of the road and
the car smashed into her, putting the
lighting apparatus out OF commission.
"There were many lightning bugs
flying around" he said, "and so set
the members Of my party to work
catching them. We used bottles that
we had in our lunch boxes, and filled
two full Of the bugs. They gave out a
glow that could be seen probably 300
feet ahead. We tied the bottles, well
corked, on to the front Of the car,
and then proceeded into the village
safely. I rarely tell Of the expert
ence, because few will believe 1t, but
it is fact"
