 Hope is felt here that in spite of recent unfavorable developments the provisional government, which already has surmounted many obstacles, nor only will stand firmly by its under standing with her allies that there shall be no separate peace, but will continue to prosecute with vigor Ns plans for setting up permanent demo. cratic government and rehabihtate the [ country The provisional authorities have been tod that they can count up. on the aid Of the United States.

Berlin. Via London, May 15.--
 In one of the most vigorous and plain spoken speeches he has yet | made before the reichstag since the ou' re1h Of the war the imperial Ger man chan ellor today bluntly refused tO enter into a discussion of Ger manE's peace aims as demanded in in. ietpellattons by the conservatives and socialists. Dr von BethmannHoll. veg asserted that these called for the government specific peace program | the announcement of which would at Ithe present time not only be prema-
 tare but whie 1t may be difficult to formulate and also of no practical
 service to the nation in the present
 situation
 [ While appreciating tho passionate
 desire of all classes to know the gov ernment's views, the chancellor plainly declared that he would not permit himself 10 be swayed by pressure from i any source, and that he was not under the spe l of any party or clique. The
 best interests of the nation, he be- heved, demanded that the reticence he had imposed on himself in the face cf continuous clamor since December. il$i5 should he observed by him until the moment was ripe. He was sure that such a course would be endorsed
 by the nation at large. which con
 tnued to rally around its emperor,
 and would al-o meet the views of the majority of the members of the reich lsjag.
 The chancelcr then briefly re- viewed the present military situation and Germany's relations to the neu- trals, in the course of which he warm
 ly praised the attitude adopted by Spain.
 These interpellatious demand from me a definite statement on the Ques- ton cf our war aims" said the chan. cellor. to make such a statement at the present moment would not serve the country's interests. | must, there fore, decline to make it.
 since the winter of 191415 I have been pressed now from one side, now from the other publicly to state our war aims, if possible, with details. Every day they were demanded from me. TO force me 10 speak, an attempt
 was made 10 eoustrue my silence re- !gardng the program of the war aims f individual parties as an agreement. Against that l must again resolutely protest.

Daylight Saving Plan.

The state council of defense is
considering the matter of the
daylight saving plan for the state,
and if they deem it expedient
they will make the recommends
ton that it be adopted. 1t is
not a new scheme, having been
adopted by Germany at the
beginning of the war, and has
been used in several states in
this country. The plan provides
for turning back the clocks one
hour during stated summer
months. A bill has been intro
duced in Congress to make such
a scheme the universal law of the
land, but if the bill is not passed
the daylight plan can only be put
into effect in Arizona by mutual
agreement among all large en-
ploying corporations, which would
probably willingly be followed
by the people.

help Uncle Sammy, let the boys
and girls, and stay-at-homes get
busy also. Every yard in Win
slow should have some vegetables
planted in it. No matter how
small, it will all help out in the
big task now at hand. | here
with give a few suggestions
gathered from experincelto guide
you in the work.
Fertilize the soil we'll and turn
if under, then wet down and
leave for two days. Put on more
fertilizer, turn under and wet
down again. After two days
rake it as fine as you can and
mark off in rows, as this is the
best plan for the amateur, other
wise they will plant too close and
nothing will do we'll.
Radishes should be planted in
rows six inches apart, and about
four seeds to an inch in the row,
and then cover very light with
fertilizer only (no soiD and press
firmly about the seed. Do not
be afraid of the fertilizer burn
ing, as it will not in this climate,
but it has tendency to keep the
seed moist, which is very apt to
dry out in this climate. Do not
raise the beds higher than the
surrounding ground, rather plant
in shallow bitches, but if kept on
a level it is all right. l plant all
my vegetables and flowers in this
manner, and never have failure.
Irrigate again, and keep the
seed moist until the plants are
up, but do not keep the ground
too wet.
Before irrigating drain the
hose before turning the water on
the garden. The sun heats the
water in the hose enough to scald
the tender plants. Let the water
run a minute to cool it off. Then
it will not harm the plants to
water them in the heat of the
day. 1t is the hot water in the
hose that scaIds.
Lettuce, radishes, peas, onions
cabbage, spinach, turnips and
carrots won't freeze and can be
planted in March. Beans, corn,
tomatoes, potatoes and cucum-
bers must not be planted until
May. Sow celery now out of
doors with very fine fertilizer for
covering, and keep moist. l SOW
package in a space three feet
square, and transplant in bitches
in July. Cabbage can be trans
planted when it is three inches
high about two feet apart. To-
matoes can be started early in
the house.
Cover all seed only with fine
fertilizer and press down firmly,
and your vegetables will grow.
When | SOW a bed broadcast
| cover with a wide board and
walk over it to press it down
evenly, then move the board
further and repeat until the
whole bed has been pressed
down.
