by assuring proper food to troops at
the front and endeayoring to bal
ance distribution of food. Many OF
the present leaders of the ministry
were prominent in these organiza-
tions-having become prominent be-
cause they were originally chosen by
the people.
But with the revolution a success,
the people began electing delegates
to meet in the duma building TO act
as a sort of Zemstvo organization to
aid in governmental administration
Workmen all over Russia met in
barracks. trenches, workshops and
peasants-including women-in all
settlements, to choose representa-
tives. These delegates fastened to
Petrograd. Entirely unofficial, they
nevertheless really constitute the
nearest approach to the voice Of the

The delegates occupied the duma

PROTECT
CROPS ON ROAD
Burlington Route Issues Orders to
Section Forennen and Others
to Watch Out for
Fires.

In line with other measures OF the
Burlington Routes plan to aid the
government in the increasing of ths
nations food supply, a bulletin has
been issued by the superintendent OF
this division asking the cooperation
of all section foremen in protecting
fields adjoining the right of way OF
the road from fire. The following Is
the bulletin:
To Section Foremen:-Every
effort is being made to increase
the food supply. In connection
with this, / would like to i'm
press upon you the Importance
OF maintaining proper fire guards
this year to protect the adjoin-
ing fields.
/ think you will have a good
argument with our farmer friends
in view of the fact that notwith-
standing the railroads may be
obliged to pay for any grain or
farm products destroyed, still the
loss Is there just the same.
That is, the country will be de-
priyed of just that much of the
food supply; therefore, think If
you will get in touch with the
farmers, you will find that they
will be willing to permit foremen
to pillow, burn or scalp fire
guards.
We positively must not have
one acre of the food supply de-
stroyed by fire during the war if
possible to avoid it. | wish you
would get into the game early
and make all preparations to pro-
tect the adjoining fields by
blowing, burning or scalping fire
guards. ! am sure II you will
present this in the right way that
no farmer will object, especially
under the present circumstances.
j. P. CUMMINGS, Supt.
In the past the road had taken
many precautionary measures in pro
tecting the crops along the line, but
this order calls for a re-doubling OF
the effort.

one has suggested that we bring back
the deer and the elk as meat animals.
Ihey breed rapidly and they are
easily grown. But compared with
the modern 1900 pounds Of baby beef
produced IN one year, we are afraid
the deer and the elk would not cut
much or a figure. But venigon *

NEW church here today.
Madison avenue in both directions
for blocks was lined with hundreds OF
the rich and poor, the great and the
obscure, the young and the old. who
knew and were known by the beloved
patriarch of the law, on equal terms.
1t took $50 patrolmen and squad or
mounted officers to handle the crowds.
The church was packed to the doors.
The service, attended though 1t was
by the great men of many nations,
was brief, simple and not at all tuner
eal-as Choate himself had requested.
There was no funeral sermon, no
flowers on casket. This was covered
with palms and borne on the should
ers OF the distinguished pail bearers.
Immediately followed by Mrs. Choate
on the arm of her son, Joseph Choate,
Jr. Other near relatives followed
them.
Among the active paEbearers We're

gan, British Ambassador Sir Cecil
Spring Rice, British Naval Attache of
the British Embassy. Guy Gannt and
NJ Hovelacque, inspector general OF

The only floral offerings were half
dozen magnificent pieces grouped IN
the chancel Among these was one
from the British embassy at Wash
ington. 1t was the red cross OF st.
George on a white background, with a
British jack on either side.
AS the strains of 'sThe King Of Love
My Shepherd Is" died away. the Rt.
Rev. Dr. Charles H Brent, bishop OF
the Philippines, read the Episcopal

sisted by Rev. Laughton Parks. pastor

The service was concluded with the
singing of Rise, Rise Imperial Salem,
Rise" after which the casket was
wheeled slowly to the entrance and
taken to the Grand Central terminal,
where it was placed aboard special
on special plot on the Choate es-
tate there. The crowd along the
street stood motionless and with bow
ed heads as the procession left the
church At Stockbriuge the casket
will be placed on one of the Choate
estate farm wagons drawn by the
great lawyers favorite team of horses,
driven by an Englishman he befriend-
ed in London years ago and escorted
by twenty boys from the surrounding
countryside who have been helped
along by Choate in many ways.
The funeral party was accompanied
by honorary pallbearers from the New
York bar association and the Ameri-
can Bar association, the New England
society, the American peace centen-

WITH THE FRENCH ARMIES IN
THE FIELD, May 1.-THE greatest
force Of men Germany has ever call
ed into action has been massed on
the west front in Hindenburg's effort
to stop the Franco-British drive Be
tween April and May II, there
were at least 100000 men engaged
on the German side.
Headquarters estimates today
based on careful calculations and
evidence obtained from prisoners and
n entioned that the German com
uander in chief utilized eighty-four
German divisions. Seven Of these
were engaged twice IN the fighting
in this months period.
The greatest previous massing Of
German forces was around Verdun
The fighting there is probably the
nearest comparable to the flerceness
Of the struggle now progressing in
the allied drive. But in the entire
year from February 1915, to Febru-
airy 1917, the Germans engaged only
ffty-siX and a half Authorization
847,500 nen-using fourteen OF these
twice and six divisions three tI1neg.
In little over month therefore.
in struggling against the Franco
Briaish drive Germany has called into
action force almost double the num-
Der Of fighters she threw into one
years campaign against Verdun.
