of his brother, Csrmaine Scouliga, and
his brother-in-law, Frank Rolf, to him
in the cell where both are confined in
the City Hall.
"If you know ANYTHING. tell it,"

Women Doctors
To Serve France
In War Region
Unit From United States
Will Begin Work Early
in December
By BRIGGS

The first hospital unit of American
women doctors will see service in
France during the coming winter This
announcement was made last night by
Dr.. Caroline Finley, director of the
unit, following a summer of negotia-
tions with the American and French
governments. The services of the
American women were accepted in the
name of France by Andre Tardieu,
High Commissioner of France, in charge
of the permanent French war mission
in the United States.
The women offered their services to
the United States, but were informed
that women were not eligible TO the
United States Medical Reserve Corps.
DR.. Finley and her associates then
visited Washington and offered their
services to the French commissioners,
then at the capital.
DR.. Finley expects to sail for France
early in the fall, and as soon as the
necessary equipment is ready the unit
will follow, probably in December. The
entire party will number about one
hundred. DR.. Anna Won Sholly is
treasurer of the organization, and
ether members of the executive COM
mittee are DR.. Alice Gregory and DR..
Mary Lee Edward.
The women are raising a fund Of
Sl5OO0O to carry them through the first
year in France. This will be spent for
equipment and maintenance, and the
salaries of doctors and staff, which will
be approximately the same as the sal
aries received by doctors and nurses
under the United States government.

Can Arm Merchantmen.

Washington, March S.--Secretary
Lansing and Attorney General Greg
u:y have advised President Wilson
that he has full authority to arm
American merchant ships against IL
legal attacks by German submarines.
1t was these two oiliccrs-the gov
c"ncmnt's authorities respectively on

:hat the President rcterred the con-
tcntion raised in the Senate that old
statutes enacted to authorize mer-
chansment to resist pirates raised an
insupcrable bar to the step he de-
sired to take to meet the submai inc
menace. They have reported that
the statutes have no application to
the presen. situation.
Whether the President will act i'm
medately in accordance with this
opinion, or will wait to call a spe-
cial session OF Congress to pass a
resolution similar to that killed by a
filibuster during the last session was

How Good Seed Pays.
Progressive Farmer.)

The farmers are getting in the
habit Of planting improved seeds. A
few years ago many of our farmers
thought there was little difference in
seed provided it would sprout, but
now you find nearly every farmer
looking for some highly improved
and highly recommended seed. They
have found out that it pays to invest
little money and get the best seed
possible for planting purposes. Be-
sides it is cheaper to buy your seed
corn, cotton and other farm seeds
where it is necessary to select care
fully. If corn is worth one dollar per
bushel and a good seed corn variety
already sorted and carefully selected
seed can be bought for two dollars, it
will be about as cheap to pay the
difference as 1t, is to go through the
crib looking for satisfactory ears.
