Robbing the Farms.

Have you noticed in the honor
rolls of the city papers. says an ex-
change, that most of the voluntary
enlistments come from the small
towns. while very few come from
the cities? Do you realize that these
quickaction fellows are mostly coun-
try boys who are leaving the farms
to enter the army and navy? Think
1t over a few minutes and get 1t
straight.
1t means nothing less than this:
labor needed for food production un-
der our antiquated volunteer system,
happily soon to be superseded with
universal selective service.
This selection should not be by lot
but by fitness and needs. This is. the
army and navy must not be filed
from the farms either by immediate
volunteers or by selection Our farm
boys are already skilled in the most
urgent job before the people of this
country today-the production of in
creased yields of food. They should
be encouraged to remain on the farm
and for this loyal service they should
be recognized by the government as
members of great Service Army
The enlistments in this army should
be on par. in pay and honor, with
the army and navy.
This suggestion is respectfully re
ferred to our law makers, TO leaders
of thought everywhere, and to oul
own brave boys OF all ages now OF
the farms OF this country.

AS an evidence of the rapidly in
creasing value of land on the North
Side tract, attention is called to the
sale of state school lands last week,
some of which were located on the
First segregation Of the tract. The
prices paid for sage brush land rang
ed from S24.00 to S54.OO per acre,
while some extra pieces west of Haz-
elton sold as high as $1,000 per acre.
These prices do not include the water
right, which is $500 per acre and
which brings the price Of some OF
this sage brush land up TO within al
most $4,000 per acre. The West
End News reports the sale of the
Strickler farm of 100 acres, just
south of Eden. last week 10 ]. J. Gray

$4,000. This land however. is we'll

Baker Plans Tight Lid
On News from France
Double Censorship and Limi-
tation of Correspondents
Are Proposed

Washington, July 3.-Secretary OF
War Baker has on his desk plan, UNI
approved as yet, for the establishment
Of a military censorship on news re-
lsting to the activities of the American
forces in France.
The exact number Of correspondents
that will be permitted TO represent the
American press at the front could not
be obtained, but it was intimated that
the number would be the same that
accompanied the Pershing expedition
10 Mexico. Eleven correspondents were
in Mexico with General Pershing. All
represented either news associations or
news syndieates.
The plans for a double censorship
have not vet been perfected, but 1t was
stated authoritatively to-day that news
dispatches from France affecting the
American forces would be censored by
properly designated American eensors
in France. and also by the War Depart
ment, in Washington.
General Mcintyre, present War De.
partment censor, will be in charge of
the War Department censorship.

Many Wounded
In Amsterdam
Potato Riots
Mob Storms Market and Refuse.
to Dispense Until
Troops Fire

Amsterdam, July 3.-Serious potato
riots took place here last night, when
mobs attacked two markets and were
dispersed by police. Early in the even
ing the police closed all the streets
and bridges leading to the chief vege-
table market, in Marnix Street, but de-
spite precautions enormous crowds col
!ected, including many women carrying
children. One man is said to have been
killed by the troops and a number
wounded.
me mub became unmanageable and
at 10 o'clock reinforcements Of mount
ed police. who were hurried TO the
scene, began to fire over the heads of
the people. a fierce battle developed
in the dark streets until troops closed
the entrances 10 the market.
Worse scenes occurred at the potato
market. on Handles Kade. A rumor
went about that twenty wagon loads
of potatoes for England were stored
alongside the market. The mob
stormed the market and carried off the
potatoes, the small body of police being
helpless. Later police achievements
drove off the ROB and il turned its at
tention to railway cars, which also
were pillaged. lt was necessary to
call troops TO disperse the mob.
The cessation of the riots was sniy
temporary and soon a very large mob
threw potatoes and stones at the police
and troops. Several officers we're NAL
treated. After vainly firing in the air,
the commander 81 the troops ordered
the crowds back.
"Shoot," came the reply from the
front ranks, some men barring their
breasts. Finally an officer gave the
command 10 FIRE ball cartridges, and
the crowd then dispersed, carrying
away some wounded persons.
The newspapers to-day express fear
that the riots will be renewed tonight,
and believe that such demonstrations
are unavoidable, considering the gov
ernment's economic policy and the hun
ger of the people.
To appeace the people, twenty-three
wagon loads OF potatoes were brought
TO Amsterdam to-day from the princi-
pal potato growing district OF Hol-
land. The burgomaster has issued
proclamation forbidding further dem
onstrations.
The dock workers here have pro
claimed a strike, and troops sent here
from HARLEM are guarding the harbor.

u. S. Works on Plan for
German Relief Fund
State Department Finds Diff
cultv in Controlling Distribution

From The Tribune Bureau
Washington, July 3.-The State De-
partment is considering the question
Of renting relief funds to Germany,
70 the countries in alliance with Ger
many and to the inhabitants OF terri
tory now under the military occupa-
ton of Germany or her allies. but has
reached no decision. This statement
is being sent by the department to in
quirers:
"The determination of the attitude
to be taken by the government OF the
United States on this question involves
the consideration of many problems
and is surrounded with many difficult
ties owing TO the necessity of effec..
lively controlling the distribution OF
such funds with a view to preventing
their reaching the enemy in whole or
in part.
IAN announcement of the depart
ment's decision has necessarily been
postponed through unavoidable delays
in determining the channels and ma
chinery to be employed in such dis
tribution. The department hopes in
the near future to make a definite an
nouncement relative to all the many
subdivisions of the question of sending
relief funds"

France the honors of the day in the

Washington Officials
Still Hope Republic
In China Will Stand

Washington. July 3.-The overthrow
Of the republic in China and the re-
establishment OF the Manchu dynasty
were admitted in official circles to-day
TO be most disconcerting news.
Neither the State Department nor
the japanese Embassy has received any
dispatches to-day throwing light upon
the situation in Peking. and the Chi
nese Legation declined to make public
any information it may have received.
There was keen disappointment notice
able at the legation. which is composed
OF men loyal TO the republic.
In official circles there was still some
hope that the military leaders of the
North Of China would not accept the
situation brought about by General
Chang Hsun, Military Governor Of
Anhwei Province, this hope being based
upon the knowledge that all the North
ern commanders were not in agree
ment at the recent conferences in
Tien-Tsin, there having developed three
distinct clements, one headed by
Chang Hsun, man9uyring for the
restoration; another composed o.
1uchuns who remained passive and re-
turned TO their respective posts, but
protesting To support Chang.Hsuna ef,

Paris Reports Repulse of
Attacks Along the
Meuse River
British Front Quiet
No Important Infantry Move
ments Reported on
Either Side

London, July 3.-On me West front
the Germans are continuing to concen-
trate their greatest efforts against the
French front, along the Aisne and
Mouse, in an apparent effort TO wear
down the forces of Petan and prevent
any offensive movement by them. Al
ternate blows of increasing power are
being made north of Verdun and the
Aisne, but with little success. All last
night the German storming troops in
vain attacked the French positions on
the Paissy-Ailles road. Paris announces
the complete check of the enemy as
saults.
On the left bank of the Mouse, fol-
lowing a violent artillery fire, the Ger
mans attacked early this morning be
tween Hill 304 and the Avocourt Wood,
concentrating their efforts on 300
yard strip of territory in the south
east corner of the wood. The attack
failed before the fire of the French
batteries, however, and no further at
tempts were made by the Germans.
Berlin announces this action as de-
fensive one, to prevent prospective
assault by the French.
In the Champagne the French made
several attempts to restore lost posi-
tions, according to Berlin, but failed
completely. Fighting extended during
the day northward to the St. Quentin
sector, where artillery operations and
patrol encounters increased in violence.
On the British trent there were no
important infantry movements, but the
War Office reports from both sides an
nounced a strong increase in the artil-
lery actions on the Belgian front, par
ticularly around the Ypres salient,
suggesting that a renewal Of Halg's
offensive there is not far distant.
Raids were carried out by both sides
near the La Bassee Canal, Het Sas,
Lens and BullecOurt, in the Arras sec
tor, but without materially changing
the situation.
Six German and six Allied seroplanes
were brought down in the course of
the day, one being credited to Captain
Won Richthofen, the premier German

Chang Hsun Leads
Only Pig-Tailed Army

The movement for the restoration OF
the Manchu line upon the throne was
reported by the Peking correspondents
of the Japanese papers as early as the
middle of April. A Peking telegram to
the Mainiehi. dated April 10, spoke OF
the four secret conferences among the
leaders of the restoration movement,
who were gathered at Tien-tsin at that
time. Mich Shih-chun, Tuan Chlkuei,
the brother of ex-Premier Tuan, and
Lu Chuan-chang were the prime NOV
ers to convert the Chinese Republic
into constitutional monarchy under
the title of Chung Hua Empire.
The stand Of Chang Hsun was some
what uncertain at the time, and the
pro- Manchu leaders were doing every
thing TO win him to their side. Chang
Hsun is the only military leader who
has been strong enough, obstinate and
old-fashioned enough to defy the man

tailed army in all China. All Of which
meant one thing: that in spite of the
new-fangled Republican regime and all
the up-to-date political agitations Of
the hare-brained Chinese students
home from American and japanese
schools, he was for the old Msnchu
dynasty, and was not ashamed to show
it. The queue was the badge of ones
loyalty to the Manchu court.

the late Yuan Shih-kai, has always been
bitter against Japan and the japanese.
1t was he who petitioned Yuan, while
he was President. TO allow him to wage
