TWO REGIMENTS OF
MILITIA CALLED OUT
TO PROTECT PLANTS

Washing ton, March 24.-TWo regi-
ments of Massachusetts, militia will
be called out at once to guard the
Fore River Ship Building works at
Quincy and other plants in the Bay
state. under arrangements made to-
day between Secretary OF War Baker
and Governor Mccall.
While the two men were comforting,
reports came from General Leonard
Wood, commanding the eastern depart
ment, covering the Massachusetts, sit
uation and approving the guard idea.
On the strength OF this, Baker agreed
upon the call.
Tho militlamen will guard govern
ment arsenals, munitions plants and
especially the ship yards, where much
government construction is under way.
In addition to the militia protective
step, Governor Mccall informed Baker
that he will press for passage of the
So called home guard bill in the Mas
sachusetts legislature. This bill pro-
vides for a force of 5000 men for
state protection work.
While the department refused to say
what. II any, plans 1t has made of a
similar nature affecting militia or
other states, there was plain indication

GIFT
OF A BILLION
DOLLARS FROM
u. S. TO FRANCE

New York, March 24.-FoIowina up
it's suggestion Of a gift Of $1,000, 600,
600 from the United States to France,
the Now York World today declared
the plan had met with approval from
every quarter.
Bankers, business mon and toilers of
the country, the World said, had reg
istered unqualified approval Of tho
plan.
Should France refuse to accept such
gift from this country, the World
suggested il be made in the form of
a loan, carrying only such interest as
would pay it's expenses. II was de-
ciared Wall street, through interviews
and letters, had swung soIidIy behind
the plan.
MUST SUPPLY ALLIES.
In urging that the United States
government by act of congress, should
give $1,000, 000,O00 to Frence, the World
said today editorially: This country
could easily waste $1.OO0,OOO, 900 in war
without the accomplishment of single
important military result and that is
what it is certain to do unless it de-
velops it's resources to supplying the
deficiency of the allies.
We cannot send an army to France
except comparatively small force of
regulars who should be sent there for
sentimental reasons; but we can sup
ply the money, the food, the credit
and supplies so vital to the allies"

the single minded purpose of this gov
eminent and the commission to see
that these 100000 civilians were fed
and with this end in view, the Amer
leans concerned have submitted to re-
strictions imposed upon them by the
German authorities which under ordi-
nary conditions, would never have been
tolerated.
Immediately after the break in re-
lations, the German authorities in
Brussels withdrew from Mr.. Whitlock
the diplomatic privileges and immune
ties which he had until that time en-
Joyed. His courier service to Tho
Hague was stopped; he was denied the
privilege of communicating with the

ut is felt that the American staff
of the commission can no longer serve
with advantage in Belgium. Although
q verbal promise has been made that
the members of the commission would
be permitted to leave il they so desire,
the German governments observance
of it's other undertakings has not been
such that the department would feel

for leaving these Americans in German
occupied territory.

is no longer a dead weight in the coal
ltion of the entente allies" declared
Foreign Minister Milukoff in a state
ment to the press expressing gratifi-
cation over formal recognition accord
ed the new Russian government.
The allies" he said, came into
touch with the new regime without de-
lay, appreciating that the old regime
constituted a serious hindrance.
Organization of the Russian people
was necessary to final triumph. To,
day Russia is no longer a dead weight
in the coalition of the entente allies;
she is a productive force.
"Henceforth. all rumors of separate
peace with Germany vanish complete

FIERCE FIGHTING
ON THE WESTERN

Stiff Resistance Offered by

London. March 24.-Having them
selves slowed up, the Germans today
were striving by every art known to
warfare to check the movement of their
pursuers on the western front as the
Franco British troops approached the

Fierce fighting is developing out Of

GERMANS CAN SEE NO
OVERT ACT IN THE
HEALDTON SINKING

Berlin, March 24.-Germany cannot
see why America should regard the
sinking of the tanker Healdton by a
German submarine as an overt act"
Public opinion today agreed with this
expression of view in the newspaper
Am Mittag, although admitting the
possibility that American sentiment
against Germany would be increased
by destruction of the Healdton.
THE sinking of the American steam
err Healdton possibly will aggravate
American press pressure on President
Wilson," the editorial declared, and
the entente press will doubtless assert
this is an overt act. But constituting
this sinking as a reason for war would
prove that America is wilfully seeking
such an occasion.
1T was unnecessary that the Heald-
ton traverse the blockade area. The
vessel could have chosen the open way
used by Holland American steamers"
According to stories told by surviv-
ors of the Healdton that steamer was
actually in the safety path announced
by Germany in her barred zone when
she was the victim OF an unwarned at
tack by German submarine. United
Press dispatches recaived from Lon
don yesterday quoted survivors as say
ing they expected Germany to make
just such a denial that the Healdton
was in the safety zone as Am Mittag
makes in the above editorial. But all
the crew were positive the Healdton
was in the lane in which ships were
supposed to be immune from attack.

FORTUNE PAID FOR
HAY BY LIVESTOCK
COMPANY INORECON
Sixty Thousand Dollars in
Cash Paid to Agency
Farmer for Three Thou
sand Tons of Alfalfa.

ontario, March 24.-Elias Thomson.
wealthy farmer at Agency, in Mai!
heur county Oregon, this week sold
5000 tons of alfalfa hay to the Pacific
Livestock company for 100000 cash.
according to reports received in On
tario. This hay sold for $40 per ton
straight through.
Agency is IA miles west of J,,ntur,
The Pacific Livestock companv is the
largest cattle concern in the west is
not IN the United States. The com
pany's headquarters are in San Fran
cisco.
Mr.. Thompson has fine farm at
agency, and on 1T is one Of the finest
homes in that part of the county. He
grows alfalfa, nothing else. He has no
livestock, it is said, excepting a COW
and couple of horses.
Mr.. Thompson is wealthy and hires
others to cut his alfalfa and stock II
The 5000 tons he sold this week Ia said
to be the accumulation of hay from his
farm for the past five years. He Is
said to have stated he would not sell
any hay till it reached the price of 800
per ton. Five years ago he sold his
hay for big price per ton. At that
time he was the only one in that Sec
ton who had hay to sell. It was ~
hard winter for stock, and he got his
price for hay. And what is more, it
was. his hay that saved many head Of
cattle from starvation.
SAVING THE CATTLE,
The same is true this winter. Mr.
Thompson is the only one In western
Malheur county who had hay to sell
this week. He has sold it, and again
it is his hay that is now saving many
cattle from starvation.
Inquiry has brought out the infor-
nation that the sheep and cattle men
who are feeding in the territory bound
ed by Nyssa, Ontario, Vale, Brogan and
Juntura, have enough feed to tide them
over safely till the first of April, CT
possibly few days longer. All Vt these
stockmen are anMously looking for
ward to the first break UP of winter. II
the weather turns warm enough so
there will be no freezing at night, the
grass will grow quickly. If this hap
pens by the first of April, the sheep
and cattle in the territory here named
will get through in good shape. Other
wise, there are apt to be heavy losses
Of cattle and sheep from starvation.
This is a time when the livestock own
ers are, scratching their heads hard.

cation OF all citizens of the magnitude
of the task ahead of the nation; to dis
place careless optimism with stu
dious knowledge of what is ahead.
Part of this preparation is in advance
of the demands which will be made
shortly by the government for men,
money, labor and materials, on a scale
unprecedented in the nations history.
The administration proposes no half
way measures if it can be avoided.
BIG LOAN PROPOSED.
1t is known the government is con-
sidering as one of the initial moves the
oaning of billion dollars or more to
the entente allies-provided the people
approve such step.
One thing the council proposes to
guard against-and that is extortionate
war profits by industries affected. The
government will undoubtedly under
take some special taxing system to cut
down many enormous surpluses. How
ever American business has thus far
shown that 1t Is patriotic rather than
greedy.
BIDS ON DESTRoYERs.
AS part of its speeding up" the
navy department today opened bids
for Is destroyers, authorized under the
last naval BILL Opening today was IL
days ahead of schedule and with II
went a request for the greatest posi-
BILE haste in constructing the craft.
Secretary Daniels wants to know how
many vessels the constructors can build
and how rapidly.
Ten to Is months Is the time limit
Daniels believes should be set
TO PROVIDE NEW SHIPS.
Indications are that a number of
new ships, not already authorized or
provided for, will be sought in the
coming congress.
Meantime, recruiting Is on the in
crease in the navy, though there IS
still need for many men.
The army is keeping it's hand con.
cealed for the time being, waiting for
what congress shall do. Preparations
continue, however, looking to more
men and more officers for big army.
An immediate increase in the person
mel of the army general staff from 30
to Sc, will be one of the first war mea-
sures asked of congress, war depart
ment officials indicated today.
This request was made Of congress
when the last army bill was up for con- |
|
INCREASE IN oFFlCERs.
1t is also probable that the depart |
ment will demand a material increase
in officers of the line. Particularly will |
this be imperative should the universal
service system be adopted.
Even though congress should decide
to resort to the old volunteer system,
men said, the present officers
is "woefully" inadequate.
The training of hundreds of thou
sands OF raw recruits would require
large numbers Of officers.

Petrograd, March 24.-New Russia
is likely to bear the name the Unit

the people in Petrograd is an index. At
least the form of government will be
republican. Whether the unmistak
able feeling on this point today In the
capital is shared throughout the coun-
try is difficult to tell.
The Russian PEASANTS mind is prin
cipally fixed on the land question;
breaking up of great estates and equal
opportunities to all. This question solv-
ed satisfactorily, the peasant cares for
little else.
Duma delegates today were scatter
ing to all quarters of the empire for
the purpose of explaining to the peo-
pie in distant parts exactly what has
happened. Doubtless they will bring
back to Petrograd an accurate review
OF sentiment on the form OF govern
ment-
DEMANDS UNDERTAKING.
In the meantime, the council of
workmen. soldiers and deputies, num-
bering 1900 continues its administra-
ton as organized on the first day Of
the revolution. Demands of various
factions, however, are moderating. The
assembly has effected a compromise
with the new cabinet in which the cab
met agreed to await decision by con-
stituent assembly and not to attempt
precipitate action.
Organization of a social democratic
party throughout Russia in the hope
of strong representation of that ele-
ment in the constituent assembly is
under way.
