Government ATTACKS ON BIG SCALE
TASK OF MAINTAINING FOOD SUPPLY
ST 346400 to Be Spent in Stimulating Production and Potec
ton and Conserving of Crops-Farm Help Activities to Be
misunderstanding Assistance to Be Ex-
tended to the Producers.

Washington.-The task or maintain
Ing during the war an ample supply
of food will be attacked on a still
larger scale by the United States de-
partment of agriculture through q
score or more of projects, under the
provisions of the food production bill
just enacted by congress.
While most of the projects will be
extensions of present activities, some
of them will represent new undertake
ings. The task will be to find just
where the country stands in so far
as the adequacy of the present food
supply is concerned, to speed up the
production of food crops wherever this
can be done, and to stop as many as
possible of the leaks through which
hundreds of millions of dollars worth
of edible products annually is wasted.
Eleven million three hundred and for
ty-six thousand four hundred dollars
are made available for the work in
the food production bill. This money
is for emergency use in addition to the
funds appropriated in the regular ag-
dcultural appropriation bill for the
usual activities of the department. The
bill also is distinct from the food con-
troll bill, a measure having to do chief
ly with the regulation of the distribu-
ton of food
To Increase County Agent Force.
One of the most important steps TO
be taken in the emergency agricultural
work will be the extension of the ex-
listing force of county agents. the joint
field employees of the department and
the states, who come into most direct
contact with farmers. With the addi-
ton of the new county agents, an
agent will be situated in practically
every agricultural county in the Unit
ed States that will cooperate to advise
and assist farmers In every way pos
sible on matters of production, conser-
walton and marketing The number
of woman county agents in rural coun-
ties will be considerably increased and
other woman agents will be placed in
a number of the larger towns and cit
les. These women will stimulate the
production of garden truck, poultry
and other products by women and chill
dren. and will advise and instruct in
regard to the most efficient methods
OF food utilization and conservation.
Labor and Food Problems.
Under the food production bill the
office of farm management of the de-
partment, in cooperation with the
United States department of labor,
will extend the farm-help activities
through which farm laborers and the
farmers who most need them have
been brought together during the pres
emit season.
The third of the more important of |

Doctor MARYLAND is the only female
surgeon In the British army. Doctor
MARYLAND is most unusual miss, and
the distinction which she holds has
been won by her great skill as sur
geon.
She holds a reputation in her pri-
vate practice which makes her one of
the foremost women surgeons in the
world.
Doctor MARYLAND will render service
sery probably in one of the hospitals
behind the firing lines in France. She
has won the commentator of many
physicians In Great Britain. and when
she offered her services to the army,
she was accepted after some delibera-
ton as TO whether woman doctor

PREPAREDNESS PLANS BEING
CARRIED OUT WITH DISPATCH

WASHINGTON, March 27-With army, navy and
industrial preparedness to meet German ag
gresson going forward rapidly possible President
Wilson and his cabinet today took up consideration Of
further steps to follow the covenng Of congress in extra
session next Monday.
The president has not yet written the message he will
deliver Tuesday Wednesday and is said to have reached
no final conclusion as to just what recommendations to
make Because Of possible changes in the situation he
not expected to put the address in final shape until the
last moment.
There is doubt in the minds of administration Of
fcias that whatever may be its Details the policy laid
before congress will be both vigorous and comprehensive
The general opinion after the cabinet meeting apparently
that the program most likely to be followed by con-
gress will include declaration that state of war exists
between the United States and Germany authorization
for the president to the armed forces of the nation to
protect its rights the granting of large credit to the gov
emen to carry out its policy passage of censorship and
espionage bills and provision for the employment of add
tonal secret service agents.

WASHINGTON, March 27.-Nearly
$4,000 men were added today to the
national guard force available for fed
eral police duty by war department
order suspending the muster out OF all
guard organizations still in federal
service. With the men called out dur
ing the past few days, this gives the
government upward of 5000 guards
men for employment in their home
states to protect industries and other
property.
Most of the men affected by today's
order are at their home mobilization
camps preparing to return to civilian
life after long stays on the Mexican
border. They now will be held at their
camps or armories for assignment as
conditions require.
In all about $4,000 men are retained
by the order, but several Of the units
already had been designated for fed
eral service. The full list follows:
AriZona-First infantry.

dition have recaptured from the Ger

les Cambria, which the Germans took
from them Sunday night.
The gains OF the French were made
south of La F'ere, where they drove the
Germans completely out of the lower
forest of Coucy and also captured the
villages of Petit BaTisis, Verueuile and
Coucy-la Vile, bringing the French
line in this region to the western out
skirts of the forest of st. Gobain and
the upper forest of Coucy. In the Sois-
sons sector further progress was made
north of Neuville- Sur Margival and
northeast of Leuilly.
The German war office admits the
capture by the British of Roisel, eleven
miles northwest of st. Quentin, and
the falling back of the German forces
before the French at several points
of La F'ere, in order to avoid being out

lative program of the approaching ex-
ira session of congress
While leaders will not attempt to
frame definite program until after
President Wilson's opening address,
senate democratic leaders today ex-
pressed belief that the work of the ex-
traordinary session would be confined
to legislation essentially ''extraordin-
ary."
The national defense council. it be-
came known today, is considering pro-
posing legislation to make possible
systematizing the purchase of sup
plies for the government in case of
active warfare. One suggestion under
advisement would give the government
authority to fix prices IN making pur-
chases.
Preliminary conferences of house
leaders today developed opposition to
Republican Leader Mann's proposal
that he withdraw from the speakership
race in favor of Speaker Clark and that
the house committees be organized on
bipartisan or non-partisan lines at the
opening of the extra session next Mon
day.
Representative Lenroot of Wiscon-
sin, a progressive-rep leader,
dIleT d conference WIN ReD-
resentatives Longworth of Ohio and
Towner of Iowa, that he would not
I consent to such a program because it
would constitute an admission that
if the republicans organize the house,
the country will suffer-
Mr.. Lenroot said he did not believe
the plan would be approved by repub-
| licans anywhere.
Speaker Clark, after discussing the
Mann proposal with many democrats,
said he had found only one who favored
it. The speaker is advising the demo-
Gratis to make the organization contest
as a party unless it is fully demon
strated that one side or the other can
not win. The rank and file are sup

to add to his declaration of last night
that four of the five Independents will
vote for Speaker Clark and the demo-
cratic organization. He said that
/ despite his conviction that this was
| true he planned to call meeting of the
| independents for Thursday.
! Among republicans, democrats and
independents generally, the feeling ap
peared to be that the organization fight
should be carried out on party lines
and disposed of as quickly as possible.
The conference between Representa-
tives Lenroot, Longworth and Towner
revived discussion of a plan advanced
by Representative Towner to continue
the house organization of the last con-
gress for a short stated period until
disposition is made of important inter-
national questions This proposal will
be taken up in the republican confer
ence Saturday.
