THE SITUATION TODAY

Let us learn the lesson Of sacrifice.
Let the boys fight in the furrow. 1t
is their patriotic duty.
Responsibility rests heavily on the
commercial men of the cities.
Even those who are now most COM
Portable are going to be pinched.
If this war should close now, the
situation would still be acute.
We, as a nation, have neglected our
agriculture and now we are suffering
from that neglect
Let Tennesseans say that Tonnes
see is ready to feed herself and fur
nish war surplus besides.
We know--we think we know--that
we are engaged in war, but we must
come to realize it.
The state plan Of food preparedness
organization involves every person in
the state. We hope to organize back
to every man and every woman, every
boy and every girl.
AS patriotic citizens of this country,
we do not know what has happened
on the farms in Europe since they be-
gan to fight or we would rise to imme-
date action and produce more food

STOCK TUBERCULOSIS
IN new DEPARTMENT

In order to handle to better advan-
tage the work of combating tubercu-
lesis of cattle and to carry on other
activities for the conservation OF the
animal resources of the country, the
secretary of agriculture has created
two new divisions in the Bureau of An
imal Industry.
The tuberculosis Eradication Divis-
i'm, one of the newly created agencies,
will have charge of the work of test,
irg cattle to determine the presence
Of absence of tubercular infection.
This work has been greatly expanded
by recent appropriation by Congress.
The second new agency, the Tick Erad-
ication division, will be devoted ex-
clusively to the work of cradicating
the cattle fever tick in the South.
The changes will leave the Fild In
spection division, which now handles
most of this work, free to devote it
self to the enforcement Of cattle trans
p0rtation laws and the combating OF
miscellaneous animal diseases. This di-
vision will have charge, as in the past,
of the work of conducting the cam
raigns waged by the Department of
Agriculture against outbreaks of ami
NAL maladies, such as foot and mouth
disease. The removal of the other
branches of the work to the newly-cre-
ated agencies will expedite the per-
formance of these important tasks.
The creation of the two new divis-
ions in the Bureau of Animal Industry
Will affect also the Quarantine divis-
ion of the bureau Intrastate testing
of cattle for tuberculosis is now per-
formed by this latter division. This
ork, with the interstate testing, will
be performed in the future by the Tu-
berculosis Eradication Division. The
Quarantine Division, after May 1, will
he devoted solely to q supervision OF
the expectation and importation of an
imals, animal products and certain
feeds capable of carrying the infection
cf animal diseases.

Roosevelt May Yet Win.

Personal prejudice may have lot
t. do with the disparagement with
which Theodore Roosevelt's desire to
cross the seas with volunteer army
is so often mentioned. There has been
very common expression with regard
t. that ambition or that desire to
serve, whichever one may call it, that
Perhaps embodies some of the senti
ment involved. 1t is that when the
var is over and Roosevelt returns it
will be "his war" Popular hero -wor-
snip is foreseen taking up anew the
name of Roosevelt as the foremost
American of arms. Very likely that
would happen. And it would be dis
agreeable to those who know that the
national leaders of the United States,
who do not go to France, and who do
not lead men in actual battle, will
have greater credit due them for such
victory as all feel is bound to come.
But on the other hand, there are
embraced in the conscript act thou
stands, even millions OF men who do
not want to go to France. There are
whole regiments of them who would
shed their last drop of blood to de-
fend the United States against any
invader, but who still feel the call to
fight on French soil is more than
they should be drafted for. Be this
as it may, there remain large num-
Der who are eager to go to France.
They want to get into the fighting
there They could scarcely be con-
scripted as a special body for such
service, but they NIGH be allowed to
volunteer for an expedition. They seem
anxious to volunteer under Roosevelt.
Al least many thousands ef them
have already done so. With both
houses of Congress in favor Of the
I ian, and with the enrollmen figures
of the Roosevelt division growing
caily, it seems as though the admin
istration would feel morally bound TO
use the authority the army bill prom
ises to carry, and permit embarka-
tion of the voluteers. 1t may be this
is all the American fighting force
ti,at will be needed on French soil. Ii
so the conscript army will not be COM
peeled to leave America and only such
men as are anxious for foreign fight
ing will be sent.

said they asked Mr.. Bowker for some
money.
"Mr. Bowker told US he didn't have
anything to do with that" said the
witness.
Fernandez said he is 81 years old
and is a native of Chihuahua, Mexico
He has lived in Ell Paso and Los An
seles.. Here he worked once as an
operator in motion picture show on
North Main street. In Mexico he
said he was in the mercantile busl-
ress, owning a grocery and clothing
store. He said the store had no name,
and he had not seen it for five
months.
Progress in the trial is slow, due
chiefly to the fact that one witness
could talk English only through an IN
terpreter and another could, be un-
Gerstood only with difficulty. 1t is
said practically all the witnesses for
the government are Mexicans and
there is little hope of much speed be-
ir.c attained.

OFFERS FIFTY CENTS
DAY TO Gus CAk1U
Mexicans Refused to Enlist
Against Colonel Cantu on
Wages Offered Them.

Pedro Martinez, laborer, now Nv
ing on the outskirts of San Diego,
offered his services as a soldier to
Balthazar Aviles, one of the six de-
PENDANTS in the neutrality case be-
irg tried before Federal Judge Far
rington, for 80 cents a day and the
promise that he would be made chief
of police of Mexicali in the event Gov
ernor Cantu should be overthrown. He
made this statement on the witness
stand yesterday at Los Angeles.
The witness said he had been dele
gated by Mr.. Aviles to recruit other
Mexicans, whose pay would also be
the same.
Il couldn't get anyone because they
would not work for so small ar
amount" he said.
Juan N. Fernandez, partner of Man
uel Brassell, the governments "star
v itness," said he, too, was promised
big job by Mr.. Aviles. He did not
know just what the job was to be,
but said he was to be second in COM
mand to Brassell. The latter having
pl eviously testified that he was to
have been a colonel, Attorney Lawyer
of counsel for the defense asked the
witness if he were promised lieu
tenant colonelship.
Eyes, swas to be loot colonel"
h. answered.
Brassell was on the witness stand
for a few minutes yesterday morn
ing, and again admitted that he had
agreed to accept some money in re-
turn for his leaving the United
States, and not appear as witness
in the present case. The admission
was in connection with an alleged con-
versation he had with one Pablo Coro-
mel.
81 told him to go ahead and get
the money and we would talk the rest
OF the matter over later" the witness
said.
Fernandez was produced by the gov
ernment to give corroboration to the
story told Tuesday by Brassell. He
all arently understood English, but
spoke it brokenly. In common with the
"star,' he was afflicted with loss Of
memory in many instances.
The witness said he and Brasse.l
Rad met Mr.. Aviles and the latter
outlined to them a plan for the over
throw of Governor Cantu. He said
attacks were to be made by land and
sea, the water invasion to be at En-
senada and the land forces to make
an attack upon Mexicali.
Under cross-exmination the witness
said he had never met Harry Chandler,
one of the defendants, but had met the
five others. He met w. K, Bowker
he said, on the C-M ranch and admit
tee that when he and Brassell went
10 the ranch both were "broke." He
