Henson G. Berg of Olympia is en-
rolled as freshman in the pharmacy
department. Mr.. Berg is interested
in dramatics and before coming to
the State College of Washington at
Pullman, taught school in Alaska.
The pharmacy department of which
Mr.. Berg is a student, three years
ago established a medicinal plant
garden. Several varieties of drug
plants have been grown since then.
with varying degrees of success.
Among these plants are belladonna
deadly nightshade): digitalis (fox-
glove); hyoscyamus (henbane):
stramonium Crimson weed). With
the usual supply of drugs cut of by
the war. interest has turned to home
production. The marked increase In
prices also is due to the growing
scarcity of plants in this country.
Washington is an ideal growing To-
cation for many valuable medicinal
plants. Belladonna, for instance,
will net about $500 an acre to the
producer in these days. and no more
than ordinary care and work is re-
quired for success, and there is an
unlimited market.

 Picket Charge
lBy Review Leased wirel

ALEXANDRIA,. Va. Nov. 23.-Twen- ty-four militants of the WOman's par ty. serving terms in the District cf Co mmbia workhouse at Occoquan. Va. for Dicketing the White House appeared before Federal Judge Waddill here to- day in habeas corpus proceedings through which they seek their liberty. Illegal conviction and transfer from the district jail to OccOquan prison. and cruel and inhuman treatment by the OccOquan authorities were charg- ed.
 Twenty-seyen women were named in the writ, but counsel for the govern ment contended that Miss Lucy Burns, vice chairman of the Woman's Party. Mrs. Lawrence Lewis of Philadelphia, and Miss Hattie Kruger of Buffalo, were too i'll to appear. The militants demanded that they be produced as material witnesses and the court pi1m- ised to have chem present if it was found their testimony was necessary.
 The hunger strike carried on by thirteen of the women prisoners was broken last night when doctors at the institution told them, they said, that they would not be allowed to appear in court unless they took some nourish- ment. They appeared in very weak ened condition today. Miss Burns and Mrs. Lewis have been undergoing for cibie feeding since early in the week.
 Today's session was taken up with hearing the charge of illegal transfer from the district jail to Occoduan. Dud ly Field Malone of New York and Mat thews O'Brien of Washington, counsel for the women, argued that the milit- ants were sentenced to the district jail and must serve out their time there. The charge of cruel treatment will be heard tomorrow.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 23.-Oklaho- ma coal operators were threatened by Fuel Administrator Garfield today with government seizure and opera. tion of their mines if they permit pro- duction to halt pending the action on their demand for higher prices.
 The producers had notified Dr. Gar field they could not pay wage in creases asked by the miners unless they are given more than 45c a ton increase granted by Dr. Garfield. and that they would not make the wage increases retroactive to November l. as directed " the fuel administration.
 The new wage acTC oment has been u"der hcSotin"oi :nr several week. and was ec r'tr = the miners ou! after Dr. Garfield had threatened tc take drastic action to end strikes. The point at issue was the clause in sisted on by the fuel administration penalizing strikes and lCckouts.
 The operators sent to pr. Garfield Ati thtii iOA htchNA f-4~N.' e' copy of resolutions adopted by the Oklahoma Coal Operators association, which said they would not pay the wage raises until the fuel admins tration grants 10 us an increase in the selling price of coal sufficient to cover the same with reasonable prof it."
 Dr. Garfield replied today:
 q will not consent to change the Accent increase to cover increase of wages. If. as a total result. you are unable to operate at a profit. the way to proceed is 10 file statements here showing your 1916 costs and your 1917 costs. month by month. and mean while keep the mines in operation.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 22.--ArrivaI of American troops in France has kept pace with the expectation of the war department, Secretary Baker said to- night in the first statement he has eV- CT authorized in connection with the progress being made m increasing Gen eral Pershing's forces. MT. Baker oe- clined, however, 10 state the number of troops forwarded or to indicate whether he anticipated delay from this time. Movement of the forces, ne said, depended on two elements, the train ing and equipment of the men and the availability of ships.
 AS fast as they are ready. ships and men will be combined" the secre- tary said. AS many American troops are now overseas as we expected in the beginning to have overseas at this time"
 Mir Baker indicated that an official statement Of the number of American troops in France was not to be eX- pected at any time during the war He caused an inquiry to De made of the military censor.

 The secretary's attention was called to the fact that the British official statements recently have named at least by geographical designation the troops used in various offensives. Ap- parently new policy in this regard has been adopted in London and the war department may 60 likewise.

WASHINGTON. Nov. 22.-Ofiicials of this government regard the Bole- sheviki move for an armistice between Russia and her enemies and the open ing of immediate peace negotiations as an act that would place Russiaalmost in the list of unfriendly nations.
 Press dispatches telling of the peace movement were confirmed by a cable gram from Ambassador Francis receiv- ed today at the state department. It said that Leon Trotzky national com missioner for foreign affairs in the Bolesheviki government, had sent for nal notification to diplomats al Pet rograd that his government had pro posed an armistice with a view ro i'm mediate peace negotiations.
 It was pointed out that should these negotiations be successful, it would

 Ambassador Francis has been given no instructions to deal with the Bole- sheviki government In reporting to the state department on the peace move. he made it clear that he had not formally acknowledged receipt of the Trotzky note. He said he had been advised that the Soviet congress had adopted resolution instructing gen. erals at the front to enter into nego- tiations with the German commanders relative to a three months armistice. with instructions to report to the con- gross.

(By Review Leased wire)

JUAREZ. Mexico. Nov. 23.-An off cial investigation made public late to- day of the defense conducted at Ojin- aga by Gen. Joan Espinosa COrdova and his 600 federals revealed the fact that they had less than 2000 rounds of rife ammunition and no machine gun ammunition left when they aban- doned the border town and fled to the American side at Presidio. This fact. coupled with the reports made to American officers by the two Ameri- can deserters, Lawrence and Kearns. who operated the federal machine gun, may absolve Gen. EspinOsa Y Cordova and his officers from blame in con- nection with the equalization of Ojin- aga before the Villa assaults. It was announced ct military headquarters here today Gen. Espinosa y Cordova would probably be sent to Mexico City for an investigation of his efforts to defend the border port.
 Arrangements were being completed for a tuning movement against Vil- las forces in the Ojinaga sector with Juarez as the base There were 2500 troops in the garrison here tonight. and a force of 1900 will leave early tomorrow as an exploration column to be followed by others during the day.

terposed such heroic resistance that some regiments are reduced to three or four hundred men. The position at one point was almost encircled on three sides so that the enemy artillery fire swept at cross fire through the Ital- ian trench lines and batteries. It was this which required a falling back o, about five hundred yards until decim- a.ed ranks could be reformed for the final charge.
 The Basilicata, Calabria and Alpine brigades suffered most in this storm. Three battalions of Alpini were wiped out of existence.
 But the enemy paid dearly for their first advance and did not enjoy it long.

BRITISH ARMY HEADQUARTERS IA TRANCE, Nov. 2S.-The impression which existed in the minds of many soldiers that the British tanks were freaks of little value as instrumen $ of war. is being wiped out on account of the achievements of the great army of these mighty engines which on Tues day morning broke through the main Hindenburg line and carried the war into enemy territory. The work which tanks did on that first day and have been doing ever since is one of the most striking features of the war.
 The tanks have demonstrated fully their power in saving the lives of men and in conserving ammunition. The casualties among the infantry which followed the tanks into action were exceedingly light. The correspondent has heard that two battalions. for in- stance. had only one casualty each and that another suffered the loss of only three men. The casualties among the crews of the tanks also were very light.
