and that every resource Of the country must be developed to it's utmost if the United States hopes to win. Germany, he declared, is putting up the greatest fight of history, andS fighting on the defensive, which is hard to defeat
 Secretary Daniels asked aid in re- cruiting the naval personnel to 15Q,00 after the new naval bill is passed.
 Plans for the new army were outlined by Secretary Baker. No forecast he said is possible concerning the length of the war and prudence directs the country to enter on it as if it would be long.
 Mir. Baker defined the war depart ment's policy concerning home guard units and said they would be encour- aged. The department, he said, desired to preserve the identity of the national guard and hoped to attach to their regimental designation the states from which they come.
 Food and labor questions occupied the entire time of an afternoon meet ing. Secretary Wilson told what the labor department was doing to find men for the farms and put forward a plan for drawing men from the fac tories to do farm work during harvest time.
 Conscription of labor for farm work or any industrial work never will he supported in the United States, said the secretary as long as the farms and industries are in private hands and operated for profits.
 Food problems will be taken up again { tomorrow
 Secretary Lane told the governors that the federal government had heard | 400, GOO tons of shipping had been sunk i in the last week by German subma i rineS.
 | The destruction, Secretary Lane said was not only threatening the existence of England and France, but was alarm l ing the United States. Study of inven- tions to combat the submarine menace 1 is being diligently pursued in the in teriOr department, he said.
 The United States must build ship: as rapidly as possible, he told the dele gates.
 If we don't fight the war on tn, other side" he said, i've shall have t, fight it on this side of the Atlantic" Secretary Lane said he believed tn, war would last several years and tha every resource of the country must b. brought into play to bring it to a sue cessful conclusion.
 Many persons thought" said Secre tary Lane, that all we had to do wa to issue bonds and that Germany woul bow her head in submission. Nothin could be farther from the truth. We d not know when this war will end I will not be a one-year war Personal

On their return, the decision was announced, preceded by remarks by the court upon the difficulties of his position. The task, he said, was a weighty one, too weighty for one man. It involved the interpretation of the not clearly expressed will of the peo- pie: it meant the continuation of the highest official in the state in office. The court said that his judgment had been anticipated since last Friday when he began making up his judg- ment. It had been difficult, even im- possible to preserve secrecy regarding it since he had been obliged to call upon clerical assistance and to secure data from other persons. The court further stated that he had labored faithfully to arrive at a result that would be a fair expression of the voters. Many doubts and problems had presented themselves and when doubts were insoluble. he had decided them in favor of the contestant
 Decision is Given
 Then the decision was given. With respect to the ballots, some twenty five of them, which had been given to Campbell by an earlier decision, be- cause the voters had marked the square opposite his name in the pro hibition column in counties where the name of no prohibition candidate for governor appeared on the ticket, and the plain intent of the voter had been to vote for Campbell, the court stated that his ruling was now changed and those ballots would be taken from Campbell but would not be given to Hunt.
 After statement with reference to other classes of ballots which had been held in suspension, the court took up the motion of the contestee for the striking out of certain precincts on ac- count of irregularities similar to those of Snowflake precinct. He denied the motion to strike as to Bisbee No. 1; Miami No. 3 and KeOhane Ranch. He granted it as to Swansea, Cottonwood Curtis and Eager. These four pre- cincts had given Hunt an aggregate majority of 156. The court stated that Douglas precinct No. 1 which some weeks ago was stricken ou

 MT. Gompers testified he advised MT. Buchanan that his plans were fool hardy; that they were in conflict with the interests of labu- as represented by the American Federation of Labor, and that he warned Buchanan against associations with Herman Schulteis and Henry B. Martin. These men are defendants and were members of labor's national peace council.
 The testimony as to Rintelen's activ- ities was given by John c. Hammond, an advertising agent, who said that Rintelen engaged him to carry on a pro- German publicity campaign. Rim telen proposed to spend $25,00O for this purpose, he said, but spent only 7,500, becoming discouraged as to the success of his plans to arouse sentiment in favor of the German cause after the sinking of the Lusitania.
 MT. Hammond said he gave up his
 work for Rintelen when he learned that he was doing all in his power to bring
 on war between the United States and Mexico and that Rintelen believed it 1, was only a matter of time before Ger
 man diplomacy would embroil this country in war with Japan. Rintelen's
 purpose, he testified he was told, was | to bring on strikes so as to break ur
 the munitions traffic.
 Rintelen described troubles in Mex
 ico, which he expected Huerta, former
 dictator of Mexico, to stir up. as his
 trump card, Hammond said. The wit ness declared he called these activities
 of Rintelen to attention of the govern
 ment, and then for some time contin- ued to meet Rintelen and to listen tc 1 his plans under the direction of officer. 1 of the department of justice

Survivors at Liverpool.

LIVERPOOL, May 2-F,ighteen sur vivors of the Vacuum arrived here early today. They were all in one life boat, which. they said, was the only one of the three launched to remain Lflodt. One boat was swamp ed beside the Vacuum just as the steamer was disappearing beneath mountainous seas. A few hours af- te~. they frightened the burden of the captains boat by taking four of it's occupants, thus making the total number of men in eacn boat eighteen. The survivors saw it capsize on q huge wave aoout a quarter of mile from them. The seas were too hign 10 render assistance and besides the survivors were too bus.ly occupied in preventing a mishap to themselves.
 Until the receipt Of the captain g telegram stating that he with some others had been rescued, by a patrol boat, It had been believed by those arriving here that they were the only survivors.
 The men who have reached Liver pool. in relating their experiences stated that their boat was nearly half full Of water all tke time and that all hands took turns in bailing. A sail which was rigged up helped the oarsmen and they reached a cold bleak shore after thirty hours Fish ermen's huts were thrown open to them ard women provided food and warm clothing which were needed as many Of the survivors were suf- fering from exposure.
 oscar Gailes, the first mate, whe lives near Boston, Mass told the Associated Press that the most strik- ing fact in connection with the tor- DpdOlnU in u-hi hif.., the submarine maneuvered in the great seas.
 It was blowing a gale" he said. and the seas were coming over the Vacuum. Yet after we were torpe doed, the submarine, which was a very large one, came to the surface and circled around the Vacuum sev- eral times with the greatest ease The mountainous seas appeared to present no terrors to that subma- rine."
 Joseph Simpson, End engineer oi the Vacuum, in an affidavit to thi American consul said that presuma : ply three Chilean firemen went dowr with the ship-that they either were Killed by the explosion or were caught in the wrecNage.

That Germany's submarine arm, not her military arm, is for the moment the greatest menace for the future wei fare of the United States and the en- tente allies is recognized by the chan cellories of all the powers at war with Germany.
 The last days of April saw the un- derwater boats send to the bottom hundreds of thousands of tons of ship ping, which means that huge quantities of ammunition and foodstuffs, the re- ceipt of which would have greatly heartened Great Britain and France. have been lost and made the pinch of want to those countries, their soldiers, and their people more acute.

WASHINGTON, May 2.-The rising sentiment in congress for legislation to
 meet the nations food problems broke
 out in the senate today in a debate
 that started over the high price of seeds, but developed into denunciations of food spectators with assertions that the best way to deal with them was to string them to lamp posts or put them behind prison bars.
 Senators from farming states denied that there is any real shortage of staple foods in the United States. Senator John Sharp Williams declared there had been a hysteria throughout the country and that the cause of high prices was largely psychological. He
 said he believed the German corrup- ton fund unearthed in a federal court in New York may have been respon- sible. Word should go straight out from the senate, Senator Williams said,
 that there is no shortage of food. Sen
 ators Nelson and McCumber agreed that there is no reason to fear a shortage.
 1 The attack on the spectators was led by Senators Thomas and Borah. The Colorado senator declared the spectators were the real enemies of
 the nation, expressed the hope that
 congress would not adjourn without

DEMING, N. M, May 2.-Captain A. w. Brock resigned as commander of Company l. New Mexico infantry, to- day when the members of the company assembled in the armory and declared they would refuse to serve under him. This was done after the men learned from Colonel K. Abbott at San Antonio that Captain Brock had been rein stated in the command of company |. The junior officers of the company all so announced that they would wire their resignations to Adjutant General James Baca if this were done. Cap tain Brooks resignation was later re- ceived by telephone at Santa Fe. It is expected here that Lieutenant Clyde Ely, who has been in charge of the guard recruiting here, will be named his successor. Captain Brock resigned some time ago from company I to en- ter the officers reserve corps, then asked to be restored.

JF GARDEN SEEDS
Gardener Is Reminded of Importance
Of Growing and Saving as Much
as He viii Require.

The scarcity and high price of gar
den seeds, together with the unprece
dented demand, made it impossible fc
many growers to plant as much as the,
wished. AS dealers were out of tn
varieties ordered, substitutions wer,
common and much disappointment re
suited. These facts impress upon ever
gardener the wisdom of growing an
saving as many of his own seeds
possible. 1t requires only little effor
to do this and the gain is much more
than represented by the cost Of seeds.
1t is an easy matter at this time tc
pick. out few Of the best radish an6
lettuce plants and allow them to grow
and form seed. Two or three plants
viii produce as much seed as one needs
to plant in the home garden. Pick out
the very best plants for this purpose
In the same way you ran save seed
of spinach, tomato, peppers, eggplant
beans, peas and many other vege-
tables. Where more than one variety
of sweet corn, melons, squash or Gu
cumbers are grown near together, the
seed will become mixed and of little
value to plant.
