Allied Nations Plan
Purchasing Agency

WASHINGTON, May r. - Admi1i-
stration officials today gave serious
consideration to plans being formulat-
ed for establishment of an interna-
tional purchasing agency to eliminate
competition among allied nations to
whom the United States is loaning
money, in purchase of supplies in
American markets. Great Britain,
France and Italy already have agreed
to such an arrangement it is said, and
the other nations are expected to en-
ter it. The United States would not
necessarily have to buy through the
common agency however

MILKMAIDS TRAINED
WITH DUMMY COWS
After Examination They Are Intro
duced to the Real Article
i'm the Dairy.

LONDON, May 12.-"Where are you
going my pretty maid?'
Three thousand English girls could
today very truthfully cap this poetical
question with the succeeding line right
out of Mother Goose
The nations maids are going a
milking"
There is, however, no royal road to
the three-legged stool The first con-
tingent to answer the call of national
service has gone to training farms in
all parts of the country to work out
its apprenticeship under Ga agricultur-
al committees.
Dummy cows, with square wooden
bodies, thick wooden kickless legs and
tails that won't sting you in the face
are used 10 train the noyices in the
soothing art of milking When the
fair milkmaids become proficient at
persuadil 6 the wooden cows to part
with not water in lieu of milk. they are
allowed to practise on some tough old
goats kept around tho farns for this
pu pose. After a thorough course u
training they will be turned loose m
real farms and becOma acquainted
with actual COWS.
Already some of the newcomers
have passed their examinations and
are working on a farm containing the
most famous herd of Jersey COWS in
all England. These valuable bovines
are very particular to whom they give
their milk, which is why the training
course is necessary.
Four weeks is the time allowed by
the agricultural committees to test the
girls capacity for farm work. "Home
Farms" with model diaries and other
rural appurtenances are the scenes of
their initiation into the mysteries of
milking and moving, and massaging
/ the greensward.
Every Home Farm" is in charge OF
a lady bailiff, who leads the land
workers and sees that the girls, drawn
from varying social grades, forget
their former environments and minglt
clubbily.
Most of the girls who have gone out
this spring had never fed or ever
touched a COW, and since wrong handl
ing would ruin the valuable Jerseys
the committees struck upon the wood
en- COWS as the best way to break il
the fair milkmaids.
Girls who play the piano or hockey
/: according to an Essex bailiff, quickly
pick up the art of milking. But the
most important thing is to get the
COWS used to the girls. This is done
by having the girls feed them, SWEEP
out the stalls, and groom their aristo
cratic coats.

y III Oar r. Urhrt in War.

Roger Babson, the eminent sta
tistician of Wellesly, has gathered
the following figures from a close
study of war casualties:
Fourteen men of every fifteen
have been safe so far.
Under present condition, where
man power is being conserved,
no more than one iE thirty is
killed.
Only one man in 500 loses a
limb-a chance no greater than
hazardous conditions at home.
MIR. Babson's conclusions are
based on the mortality figures of
the French army for the full
three years of war, and atten-
ton is called to the fact that pre-
sent fighting is not resulting in
anywhere near the number of
deaths recorded for the first two
years. He says:
Most Of the wounds sustained
in the trenches are clean cut and
are Of such a nature that a few
weeks in the hospital makes the
subject as fit as ever Only 300
600 French soldiers have been
discharged on account Of wounds
during the three years of the war.
Fighting in the trenchss, most
of the wounds are in the top of
the head, simply scalp wounds.
Practically speaking, a wound is
either fatal or slight with but
few in between these two ex-
tremes.

Scientists to the Rescue.

Hats off to the scientists If
they are charged with inventing
the destructive instruments of war
so also they propose to construct
Others that will undo the evil. DR..
Joseph S. Ames, professor of ply
sizes at Johns Hopkins University,
who has just returned from the
front, has described a few of the
new inventions. The location Of
big guns is now made by appara
tus that records sound waves. In
the battle of Messines, Prof. A mes
says, 63 guns of large calibre were
located and destroyed by this
means. Wireless telegraphy in
connection with airplanes and the
construction of the planes them
selves have passed far beyond any
thing conceived in this country.
Methods not described, for obyi-
Gus reasons, are being continually
advanced for locating mines and
detecting undersea craft. New 0p.
tical instruments have been devils
ed for observation purposes. Map
making has undergone enormous
changes in connection with the

former Governor Brewer while in
Washington. While admitting
that the so called "red necks"
have heretofore been strong Var.
daman partiSans, Governor Brew
er gives it as his opinion that a
very radical change of mind and
heart has occurred.
He cited in proof of this an ex
perience he recently had in the
western part Of the state, whenIhe
ran upon about a score of country
men out on hunting expedition.
AS they sat about for brief rest,
the subject of the war came up,
and every man in the bunch ex-
pressed himself as being "with the
President," willing to do his best.
Then the specific question of
Vardaman's attitude was broached,
and the same comment ran down
the line, namely, that they had
one and all supported Vardaman
heretofore, but that he had for,
feited such support in the future
by his actions in connection with
the war resolution and OTHER sim
liar measures.
WHO WILL SUCCEED yARDAMAN?,
So far as | am personally con,
cerned, | have nothing against
Vardaman. | never spoke to him
in my life, and do not belong to

riod of American history, and rem

Judge Robert Cochran Says Var
dardn Should be Shot as a Traitor
2ditor of the Meridian Dispatch:

Editor of the Meridian Dispatch:
| urged Nenable when he left for
Washington to pass without any
useless delay all necessary legisla
tion and to adjourn and get out of
Washington; that war could not
be successfully waged if those
charged with the duty of winning
it were constantly harassed and
annoyed by lot OF peanut politi
clans in congress.
Russia, at this time, has been ap-
parently undone and ruined by the
council of soldiers and wOrkmen
delegates, and in my opinion the
Senate is going to do the same thing
for this government.
| offered up my life to elect Var,
daman to the Senate, but it is my
mature judgment that he and his
little group of co conspiratOrs, who
are training with him, ought to be
shot as traitors to the country.
They are all out fishing for votes
With treason; and the country may
go to hell so far as they are con
cerned if they can accomplish their
traltorous purposes.
We ought to flood the President
with telegram urging him to take
the Senate by the collar and shake
it into sanity and loyalty to the
government, and pledge him our
united support while he performs
this patriotic duty to the people.
