GERMAN PEACE TERMS ARE
REPORTED by SWISS PAPER

Berne, Switzerland, via Paris,
March 25-"If peace negotiations were
begun today" says the Journal De
Geneve, which does not reveal its
source of information, but declares it
is absolutely reliable, Germany
would offer to restore the territory
she occupies in France, except in the
mining district of Virey, in exchange
for channel port, Calais or Dunkirk,
and an indemnity of 100000
francs."
Germany would also Offer" says
the newspaper, ito restore the terri
torial integrity and the sovereignty of
Belgium, on condition that Belgium
would not be allowed to maintain a
national army and that Germany
would be permitted to garrison Namur,
Liege and Antwerp perpetually."
1t is added by the newspaper that
Germany must be given control of the
Belgian railroads and ports and be ia
vorably treated in an economic treaty.
This is not the program of Pan-Ger-
mans, but actual terms of the German
government, says the Journal De
Geneve.

The Ledger this morning received
the following telegram from Secre-
tary Of the Navy, Josephus Daniels:
Washington, d. c., March 25-Man-
aging Editor, Ledger, Maysville, KY
The President last night signed an
executive order directing that the ali-
thorized enlisted strength of the navy
be increased to $1,000. He was au-
thorized by Congress, in case Of
emergency, to direct such increase of
enlistment. New ships and ships in
reserve are being fully commissioned
as rapidly as possible and the need is
imperative for a larger enlistment to
man them. There has been net in
crease of over $500 in enlistment since
Congress recently authorized an in
crease, but many more are needed, and
needed now.
Will you not emphasize this need by
giving special prominence Monday, on
the first page of your paper, to the
Presidents order, and also by making
an editorial appeal for new recruits
for the navy.
The navy offers exceptional advant-
ages to young men of stuff and ambi-
ton to serve in the first line for ma
tional defense. In this emergency you
have the opportunity and the privi.
lege of performing this public service
and am confidently appealing to you
for your cordial and helpful cooper
alton.

pecially has demonstrated it's worth nearly everywhere in the territory above outlined, and the OSceola, a new variety with much larger pods, apparently is prov ing equally early and robably even more prolific.
 Velvet beans are especially val uable in that they can be planted in corn in May and a double crop of corn and beans thus made, without either materially inter- fering with the other. Yields of twenty bushels of beans per acre are common. and as beans have a feeding value almost equal to Jbat of corn, it will be seen that the product of an acre capable of producing twenty bushels corn may be practically doubled by planting beans in the corn. Another advantage of the beans is that the hogs and cattle will harvest them during the fall and winter without any expense to the grower.
 Farmers everywhere in the lower half or two thirds of the Cotton Belt should plant some velvet beans this year; the seed are cheap, and the amounts of feed and plant food produced are large. The drogressive Farmer.
