REJECTS PEACE APPEALS
Russians viii Not Listen To Peace
Proposals of the Teutonic
Monarchies.

Washington. - Assurances reached
Washington that under no conditions
now conceivable will the provisional
government OF Russia yield to the
oyertures from German and Austrian
socialistic representative to negotiate
a separate peace.
The entente embassies, with this as
urance before them, frankly confess q
great sense of relief.
The gathering Of socialists at Stock.
holm, known to be fomented by Ger.
mans and Austrians, was looked upon
with dread. 1t was feared that Gun.
ming appeals to the altruistic prin.
ciples of socialism, the universal
brotherhood OF workingmen and such
considerations might force the pro
visional government to consent to
separate peace.
The information received IS that so
far from contemplating any peace on
the basis Of existing governments, the
advanced Russian socialists want to
carry their democracizing ideas by
force into the enemy countries and to
appeal to their brother socialists In
Austria and Germany to oyerturn the
monarChies.

"OIe Miss" Students to Train.

The students of the University of
Mississippi have started military
training on the campus. This course
was decided upon in chapel after the
student body, both "co-eds" and male
students, applied almost unanimously
for this training. One hour each day,
six days per week, will be devoted to
this drill and regular laboratory credit
towards a degree will be allowed for
the work in the academic department,
while exemption from examination
with certain conditions will be grant
ed in the law, medical and engineering
departments. The training will not be
compulsory, but the applications came
in such large numbers that it seems
all students will receive the training.
Prof. Ramer w. Tinsley, who has had
several years Of military experience
both in military schools and in the
army, will have charge of the work.

Secretary Of Agriculture Houston
Puts Question Before Congress
and Asks For Appropriation
and Authority.

Washlngton-The government pro
gram for food control during the war
was put before congress by Secretary
Houston In a communication to the
senate asking power to take direct su.
pervision Of food production and dis
tribution in the United States and re
questing a $25,O0O,O00 appropriation
1or putting the plan into operation.
Authority was asked for the council Of
national defense, in an emergency, to
buy and sell foodstuffs and to fix max
imum or minimum prices
AS outlined to the senate the gov
ernment's plan is first to make q COM
plete survey OF the country's food
supply to determine its ownership and
distribution, then If necessary to Ii
cense and control the operations OF all
food or food agricultural implements
and all materials required for agri,
cultural purposes. Authority is sought
for the agricultural department to
laKe over and operate the concerns II
1t appears that course is demanded by
the public interest.
Giving the government power to
deal directly in foodstuffs probably
would make its application unneces
sary, Secretary Houston declared, as
its very existence would tend to keep
conditions normal, He proposes that
the government should have full dis,
cretion, saying it might be wise, II
an emergency arose, to fix prices on
single commodity.
Market grades and classes for farm
products, Secretary Houston said, is
one OF the chief needs of the country |
to insure proper conditions in produc-
Ing farm products.

BIG DEMAND FOR CONVICTS
Twelve Hundred AbIe-Bodied Convlcta
Being Used BY State On Various
Public Works and On State
Plantations.

Jackson.-The trustees OF the Mis-.
sissippi penitentiary have harkened
unto the demand for greater food
crop, and will plant the entire new
farm in Quitman county to corn peas,
potatoes and pumpkins. That means
about 1000 acres more OF food crops
than the state had last year, but in
addition hundreds of acres of the best
land on the Parchman farm are de-
voted this year to alfalfa-that is
about twenty-five acres to the camp.
and there are score Of camps. On
the Oakley and Rankin farms there
are great meadows of lespedeza, all
OF which hay crops are now looking
fine, and on which hundreds Of pigs
are foraging and growing fat. No cot
ton will be planted on the Oakley,
Rankin or Quitman farms, and the
acreage on the Parchman farm will be
reduced in the interest OF corn and
other food crops.
In view Of the fact that there are
only about 1900 able-b bodied convicts in
the penitentiary, the trustees are pro-
testing against a demand for men on
outside work. A number of the best
men are employed on the old capitol,
at the Okolona and the Waynesboro
rock crushing plants, or clearing new
ground on the Quitman county farm,
thus reducing the force on the farms

Washington,-The first American
offering of war securities in any form.
$2OO,OOO,OO0 in treasury certificates,
has been heavily overscribed.
How great the oyersubscription is
officials arc unable to say, as many
OF the banks before which the offer
had been placed informally through
che Federal reserve board have not
been heard from.
The certificates were offered only to
financial institutions. The response,
officials believes, presages patriotic
outpouring Of funds to an extent un.
