FIVE DELIVERIES A

Merchants Feel That This Number
Would Give Town Perfect Service,

Most of the merchants in Cam
bridge have expressed a desire to CO.
operate in the movement to reduce
deliveries to number that is really
necessary to the convenience of their
patrons. They feel that with-frs-
deliveries day the town could be
perfectly served, and that the public
would get much better service, mas
much as they would be able to de-
vote more care in the nlling of the
orders. There would De a reduction
in the store expenses, and with the
competition in town there would re-
suit reduction in prices.
The merchants feel, however, that
the first steps in this reform should
come from the housewives. When
they find that their patrons are plac-
ing their orders with more thought
20 the question of delivery, they will
begin five delivery a day program.

ARDENTLY LONGING FOR PEACE SAYS
AMBASSADOR CERARD--DUT ARE DETERMINED
NICHOLAS 11.,.EMpERoR OF RUS

, weary and worn from nerve-racking eX-
periences of the last few months, for
back of his formal recital Of political
and economic conditions in Germany,
Gerard is carrying story amazing in
its dramatic incidents, lurid in its color
full details and with all the blood and
thunder elements of the modern dime
novel.
Step by step it goes forward from the
time he returned to Berlin last Decem-
Der and found the pinch of hunger and
the unrest of the Teuton people press
ing for peace. 1t progresses through un-
successful efforts of Germany to get a
conference of belligerents, the wrath
of disappointed and embittered Ger
many and the ensuing demand for un-
limited submarine warfare.
There appears in the narrative the
fruitless political stroke--an address by
Gerard in Berlin--designed to halt the
German government in this movement
and cause it to ponder the penalty of
removing the limit on U-boat campaign.
Finally the announcement of tn new
U-boat decree, severance of diplomatic
relations and the clumsy German indig-
mites heaped upon Gerard and other
Americans before departure from Ber-
lin.
! Among these are listed constant
espionage of Gerard s every action even
within the American embassy cutting
off his telephone communications, after
announcement of the diplomatic break
refusal to allow him to communicate in
code either with his government or the
various consula in Germany, stopping
of the embassy mail and finally oe-
manding that he reaffirm and amend
an old treaty under "sand bagging'
threats to hold American correspond
ents until he did.
Gerard's report will be locked up in
the archives of the state department
for official reference and not for pub
lie consumption,

Shortage Of Labor In Cotton
Belt and Also In Grain
Section
SPRING GARDEN TRUCK
WILL BE MONTH LATE
Texas, Florida and California
Hard Hit by Freezing
Weather

Washington, March 10. - Abnormal
weather conditions and scarcity OF
labor will greatly affect the spring
planting of cotton and all other crops,
according to information obtained by
the United Press today at the depart
ment of agriculture.
In previous years, the first planting
has begun in the extreme southern belt
about March 10, but on account of a
heavy freeze in the zone, planters have
been delayed in starting their work.
This unusual condition prevails all
through the south, and the delay in
planting is certain to be the same in
all the cotton zones, according to de-
partment officials,
f. information has reached the depart
ment that labor is scareer than at any
former planting season. The price OF
labor has advareed from 10 to 25 pes
cent and is hard to get at any price.
The shortage of labory according TO
the department, is being felt, not only
in the cotton growing states, but also
in the great grain states of the west.
Cotton Will Be High
1t was hinted by one department Of
ficial that the department of labor
may be asked to take hand in the
situation and help provide the neees.
sary labor. This move is prompted By
the action of the Canadian government
in sending agents into this country to
hire men to work on the Canadian
farms.
The department s report on the av-
erage wage of the male farm laborer
with board at present time is $23.25 per
month, while it is $32.S3 without board.
"These conditions are certain to re-
suit in small crops with attendant high
prices" said department official
today.
He predicted that cotton might even
go higher than the peak price of 1876
cents per pound, reached last year
One important factor in the forecast
of high price for cotton, is the action
of the federal shipping board in its
endeayor to construct a large American
fleet of wooden sea jitneys TO take care
of our commerce.
Many Crops Replanted
Last year. vast stores of cotton were
tied up for the lack of bottoms to
transport it.

out its present plan, this fleet Of 5000
to 1000 ton wooden motor boats will be
in service by the time the cotton cror
is ready for the market and many OF
the boats can be used TO handle the
cotton exports.
The department reports that the cold
weather in the south, especially in Floi
ida, Texas and Southern California ha;
partially destroyed the early crop Of
vegetables.
This early vegetable crop, depart
ment officials say, will be from three
to four weeks later than usual. TIL,
weather at the points mentioned reach
ed temperature of "a degrees above
zero or eight degrees below freezing
point.
Telegrams received by the depart
ment state that potatoes were frozcI
in the ground and arc probably dam
aged fifty per cent by the freeze.
The lettuce crop was almost totally
| destroyed.
Watermelons, cantaloupe and othe
tender vegetables in southern califor
MIA were killed.
In many cases replanting OF th
crops has been made.

Washington, Mar. 15.-Friedenssehn
such, longing for peace = is the great
deep seated emotion of the German peo'
pie today.
With grim stolidness they were en-
during hunger and privations OF all
kinds confident that with their last and
most ruthless war weapon-the U-boat
an end to the devastating European
struggle may soon be accomplished.
These are in substance the outstand-
ing features of Ambassador Gerard IS
first report to Secretary Lansing and
other government officials on German
conditions.
There is another feature that Gerard
conveyed of equal importance:
Despite the food shortage and totter-
ing financial structures of government,
Germany will be able, unless there is
crop failure, to struggle through for
another year by application OF the
most drastic self-denial il peace does
not come before another 2 months.
There is no question, according to
Gerard, but that the German people are
uulleu ulu uetcilHlllcu dS hGNS! bOIoiS
in the war, to support their govern
ment in a policy of unrestricted sub-sea
warfare.
No relaxation can be hoped for, un'
less the inefficiency of the U-boat is
proved beyond question. When this
time arrives, peace is Immediately be
fore the world
Gerard has given summary Of his
story to Secretary Lansing. He may
repeat it to President Wilson today be
fore leaving for New York Should the
president, because of his illness, me un
able to see him, however, Gerard will
return next week.
After submitting his report in full
Gerard will seek rest. He is suffering
from i cold Of six months standing; is
