CONGRESS IN EXTRA SESSION
APRIL 2.

The President has called an extra ses-
sion of Congress to convene April 2.
This will assemble the power to declare
war two weeks earlier than the time
provided for in former call for an ex-
ira session to convene April 16.
Unless some unexpected, almost mi
raculous, thing happens in the mean
time, Congress will declare a state of
war upon Germany. The cause for such
declaration is now unquestioned, and
state of war actually exists.
The only circumstance which seems
possible to prevent war would be an
apology by Germany and a guarantee
Of restitution for sinking American
ships with promise to abandon its
U-boat warfare.
Of course no one expects anything of
this kind to takesplace and a state of
war is therefor inevitable. Americans
regardless of former opinions concern
ing thelwar in Europe will govern their
conduct and their speech accordingly.
When the United States goes to war,
Germany must be defeated, and all the
resources of America must be offered
as speedily as they can be prudently
used to accomplish the result that must
obtain.

USE EVERY MEANS TO ENCOURAGE
GREATER PRODUCTION

After all the killing and manning
which has cost the fighting nations of
Europe the loss of more than ten mil
lions OF men, the very pick and flower
of their population. the ultimate deci-
sion of the contest is likely to prove
more matter of biscuits than bullets.
Men must eat to live. They cannot eat
unless they can get bread and meat. 1t
is now apparent that the shortage of
crops following the withdrawal of men
from the farms to the fighting lines and
the concurrent drain upon outside
sources of supply have made the food
questions matter of worldwide con-
Germ. A large part of the people of the
Central Powers are already SUFFERING
the pangs of hunger. In Great Britain
drastic4 powers have been given the
Boards of Agriculture in England and
Scotland to take over and manage all
land not properly cultivated, with
view to insure a larger FOOD supply:
but the lmpossibility of securing an ade-
quate labor supply has apparently made
the step futile one. The men who
should hold the plows and plant the land
and reap the harvests are in the
trenches or on the battleships.
In this emergeut state of European
affairs dependence upon outside sources
of supply has been made doubly hazard
GUS by unfavorable crop conditions and
the interruption of sea traffic bv SUBJ
marine warfare. In their terrible ex
tremity the fighting nations, even if the
war were to cease at once, would find
themselves face to face with the gravest
peril.
The possible entry OF the United
States into war with Germany. the
frightful advance in the cost of living
IN this country, and the acknowledged
shortage of present food supply have
made paramount the question of future
production. The withdrawal of labor
from the farms to the factories is al.
ready a serious handicap to farming
operations. Actual war would make
matters worse. What are the farmers
going to do to help themselves? What
are the townspeople and the govern
ment going to do to assist and encour-
age the farmers. No vacant town lots
ought to be left uncultivated. No gar
den spots should be neglected. 1t would
be grlevous mistake if the govern
ment authorities, noting the terrible
conditions at home and abroad arising
from food shortage, should not psa
every possible means to ENCOURAGE
greater production. 1t is a good sno-
gestion, made by New York bankers in
report on the business situation. that
chambers of commerce, bankers and
organizations of business men the
country over should take the situation
in hand in a formative way, to do
what they may to aid the farmers and
safeguard the prosperity of the ma
ton. No farmer needing help, who is
anxious to do what he can to insure
large outturn of the years crops.
should be denied what help can be
given him. The workers in the fac
tories and fields, as well as in the
camps, and the women and children,
must all be fed.

Forest Service Plans Recon-

Hamilton Road.
OPPOSITION IS SHOWN
Granite County Citizens Oh.
ject to Issuance of Bonds
for New Highway.

The office of public roads, acting on
instructions from the forest service
will make reconnaissance surveys on
seven highway projects, including the
Skalkaho project between Anaconda.
and Hamilton, during the coming seas
on. These surveys will be made in or
der that the forest service may obtain
an estimate of the final cost of con-
struction on the projects contemplate
ed. If the plans for the highways are
approved by the secretary of agri-
culture, and cooperation agreements
with the counties through which the
roads pass are secured. preliminary
work may commence next year. The
present plans however. provide for a
reconnaissance survey only.
Granite County Objects.
Hamilton and Anaconda citizens
are much interested in plans for the
Skalkaho project, ii is said. as If the
road is built it will form a link be-
tween the valley and the mining and
smelter district. The projected roaC
would pass through Granite county by
the way of Philipsburg. and it is sale
that some of the Granite county citi-
zens object to the issuing of bonds tc
cover the county's share in the costs
of construction. The commission OF
Deer Lodge county have offered to an.
mex the southern, part of Granite coun.
ty through which the road would pass
and will pay the construction costs
but, it is said, this is Objectionable t.
the Granite county people.
The other projects which will be sur.
veyed are: the Swan river road. In tn,
Flathead forest; the West Gallarir
road from Bozeman up the West Gal
latin valley to the entrance of the Vel
