U. s. PLANNING AID FOR FARM
LABOR RELIEF

Washington, May Reorganization
Of national government system for
supplying labor for the country's
farms this summer will be completed
by the Agriculture and Labor Depart
ments probably within the next two
weeks, and in a short time thereafter
the government expects to be enroll
ing hundreds of thousands of men,
women and boys for farm work.
The plan outlined today by w. J..
Spillman, chief of the Agricultural
Departments Office of farm manage
ment, called for the cooperation of
all state food organizations. In each
state the governor will name board
to direct the work, the board to name
county agents and they in turn COM
munity agents.
Many governors already have named
boards from their state food commits
sions.
Community agents will register per-
sons who can give a part of their
time this summer to farm labor and
will register also the ordinary sur
plus of farm labor. In addition they
will ascertain their local farm labor
needs and where possible, will place
the labor in their own communities.
The community agents will report
to county agents any surplus of la
Dor or labor needs and county agents
will report in turn to state boards.
If a labor surplus or shortage exists in
state the board will report to the
Agricultural Department and the La
Dor Department will assist in obtain
ing the proper distribution.
Railroads will aid by giving low
railroad rates to laborers.

Treasury McAdoo declared here to-
night in speech before financiers,
bankers and business men, urging
their support of the Liberty Loan.
Every man and women who buys
a Liberty bond will contribute in the
most immediate and directly helpful
way to bring the war to a quick con-
clusion," Mr.. McAdoo said. mo one

fiict if the American people awake
to the gravity of the situation and
organize the mighty resources of the
nation"

most colossal war of all times.
If as result Of this war, Ger
many shall become self-goyerned,
the greatest achievement for the fu-
ture peace of the world will have been
recorded" Secretary McAdoo said,
"But if the Germany military auto
autocracy should succeed and domi-
nate all Europe then the issue will be
reduced to war between Germany,
the supreme military autocrat, on the
one hand, and the great republic Of
North America and the champion of
liberty on the other. No one can
doubt the outcome of that conflict If
the American people awake to the
gravity Of the situation, organize the
mighty resources of the nation and
equip themselves to conquer in a SUI
preme struggle for human rights and
liberties"
Prompt financial assistance to the
allied governments by which they
may be able quickly to acquire the
necessary supplies and munitions of

Allie to gain decisive victory before

position to extend this financial aid.
Every man and woman who buys
Liberty bond will contribute in the
mots immediate and directly helpful

quick conclusion and the quicker the
war Is ended the greater will be the
saving in human suffering"

can accuse the heads of these colleges,
or their faculties, Of harboring the

was well known that some Of them
were earnest advocates of peace. The
