FAIR DEAL FOR FARMERS.

Washington, July 1s Especial cores.
pondence)-A measure that will command
the attention of the farmers of the West
has been introduced in the Senate by
Hon. Charles Curtis of Kansas. 1t dir
ects the Secretary of Agriculture to ap-
point at each railroad terminal or city
in the United States grain and hay in
spector who shall inspect, grade, and
tag all arrivals Of grain and hay. A
copy of the inspection shall be placed in
side Of the car, and another copy mailed
to the conslgnor. The Secretary is di-
rected to establish grades for grain and
hay, and to make all the neces sary rules
for administering the act. The expenses
Of the. work are to be paid by fees collec-
ted blythe inspectors. which are set forth
in detail in the bill. Senator Curtis has
designed his bill to meet the discomfort
among farmers because of the lack Of
proper standards for the grading Of grain
and he will endeavor to secure action
upon it as soon as the press of war legis-
lation will permit.

This board VIII also pass upon possible
reasons for exemption from service
which the drafted man may offer (or his
wife may offer on her own behalf Z
The conditions Of exemption have not
IS yet been made public. It is also
stated, that il the man drafted is exemp-
ted either for physical or other reason,
that the man who comes next in the or
der of numbering will have to take the
place of the exempted man.
Any man who fails to report after
being drafted will be considered and
dealt with as deserter from the regular
army. We understand that each draf-
ted man will get notice by mail and pro-
badly the others will also get notice.
In some cases the daily papers are
publishing the numbered lists, but that
Is too great task for the weekly papers,
and therefore tho numbering will have
to be found by application to the boards.
The number to be drafted at this time
about 100000, represents about one IN
ten of these will be exempt for physical
or other reason.

THE PROGRESS OF THE WAR.

Along the lines in northern France
there has boon considerable fighting,
particularly 10 front of the French. The
Germans gained and lost some territory
and the week end finds both sides in
about the same positions as before. In
the Ypres section however, the Germans
made gain of territory after strong
artillery preparation and the British
though counter attacking have not been
able to regain the lost ground.
The Russians however, are bearing
back the Austrian armies and are with
in thirty miles of Lemberg, which will
be their present objective. The Russians
claim to have taken over thirty six
thousand prisoners, nearly hun
dred heavy cannon and a large num-
Der of smaller pelces and vast stores OF
munitions, during their two weeks ad-
vance.
Political matter in Russia are still
rather mixed and several of the cabinet
ministers have resigned. Some rioting
is noted in the dispatches. Finland has
practically proclaimed its independence
which will again confuse Russian affairs.
On the other hand the splendid victories
of the Russian armies will doubtless do
much to inspire confidence and the sup
port of the people for the present govern
ment.
In Germany there is also political re-
volution. CHANCELLOR Won Holweg has
resigned and other ministers have also
been replaced. The Reichstag is prac-
tically on strike against the kaiser un.
til the government shall say just what
peace terms shall be. The strike takes
the form Of refusing to vote money for
war purposes.
While the agitation in Germany points
to possible peace preparation. the war
critics and the dispatches are all very
careful to explain that Germany is still
unanimous for victorious war. The ex-
plantations are SO emphatic that one
hesitates to believe them fully.
