GERMANY CONFIDENT
Resources Enough to Continue War
Five Years.

TVC (oI8s
Washington, Feb. THE state de-
partment received the first official re-
port Of conditions In Germany that
has reached this government since re-
lations we're broken between Wash
ington and Berlin.
The report states that the people
are confident of continuing the war
everything indicates that fighting
may be continued for at least five
more years without breaking the
Kaiser's organization.
Reports circulated throughout the
world that the people of Germany are
willing to make peace at almost any
cost are declared by the statement to
be absurd. The people are absolutely
behind the government. They be-
lieve that the German armies are vic
torious on every field, and that they
eventually will crush all their enc
mics.
There is no foundation for reports
that the people of Germany are suf-
fering great privations because of the
shortage OF food. Delicacies are not
INDUCED, but every subject of the
Kaiser is getting three meals daily.
The country Is being managed I'M
der the most remarkable organiza-
tion ever known In the history of the
world.
AS an example, the treatment of
children and babies is cited in the
report. Every baby in the empire
gets enough milk-and no more-to
supply its needs. Government inspec
tors and physicians keep tab on the
condition of every infant in the EN-
pire.
The report shows that there are ap
proximately 1000 Americans in Ger
many. or this number 1900 have
lived in Germany for SO many years
that they are more German than
American. They have gone into bust
ness with Germans and have intermar
ried with German families. The ties
that bind them TO Germany are
stronger than the ties that bind them
to the United States and they will
elect to remain where they are.
The other 500 are visitors, travel

firms and persons who went to Ger
many for cures. They desire to re
turn to the United States. Most of
them are financially capable OF caring
for themselves, and on the advice of
consuls they probably will go to neu
trail countries.
The German government requires
all aliens to present themselves to
the constituted authorities and re
main under observation for two
weeks before they are allowed to
leave the country. During this period
full investigation is made CT the in
diyiduals. the reasons for their pres
ence in Germany and the reasons that
prompt them to leave. This system Is
operated for the obvious purpose of
guarding against the departure of
spies

ARMY OF FARM WORKERS
LIKELY TO BE Modified
Men to Be Trained to Till Soil and
Supply Foodstuffs, in
Case of War.

CHICAGO, March 31.-Mobilization Of
an army of farm workers, uniformed
and drilled for efficiency. its field to be
Americas farm lands and its mission
to supply abundance of food for the
other soldiers in the trenches and at
the front. should war come. and to
max sure that the citizen population
would no suffer from scarcity OF food,
is a probability under consideration by
leaders in the movement for national
preparedness.
The tractor pillow, the cultivator and
the hoe must have equal standing with
the ~dreadnaught and the army rifle if
America is to take a share in the Euro
pean war. according to the views of E.
Davenport. dean of the agricultural
college of the University of Illinois,
who today pointed out the danger of
recruiting a great army at the expense
of the nations food-producing forces.
Americas fields are capable of pro-
ducing from 25 to 40 per cent greater
crops II they are titled by an increased
number of workers" said Dean Daven-
port, and the production can be in
creased as much again by the use of
fertilizers. Both means should be en-
ployed. Every nation at war is in dis
tress for food. America must see to
it that she does not share this mis-
fortune. The nation must definitely
prepare for more labor on the land.
Recruits. unfit for service at the front
could be modified on the farms. The
labor should be put on a basis of ma
tional service and recognized as equal
ly glorious as carrying a musket or
pointing a cannon. 1t might be wise
to uniform such laborers, to emphasize
the fact that they are in the nations
service
