constitutional monarchy grew moro I'M
tense. most ministers changed their
opinions and have come to javor re-
publican regime.
Resolution Favors Republic.
$50 far from advocating constitu-
tional monarchy, the constitutional
democratic party, under the leadership
of M. Milukoff. passed resolution IN
favor of republican, form OF govern
ment few days ago, when prelim-
mary conference OF the party was held.
$50 far as questions of peace and war
are concerned the views of the gov
eminent and the labor and soldiers
committee are so widely different that
there is no prospect Of compromise.
Recently soldiers. have grown tired OF
the war, while the workers, being IN
fiuenced by Socialism are mostly In Ia
vor of the suspension Of hostilities. TO
make matters worse, the socialists are
making vigorous efforts to infuse into
the minds of soldiers and workers a
desire for peace by taking advantage OF
the free speech guaranteed them by
the new government. The endeavors
OF the socialists in this connection are
expected to have a far reaching effect
on the Russian nation as whole.
/, Separate Peace Opposed.
Except NJ. Kerenslsy, minister OF
justice. all the ministers of the provi-
sional government are most earnest adj
vocates of war to a final victory, and
the constitutional democratic party es-
pecially has always urged that Russia
must secure possession of Constanti-
nople and thas offered the strongest
opposition to the separate peace policy
of the former government.
'One faction thus advocates the sus-
of hostillties, while the other
faction urges the prosecution of the
war to final victory. How to reconcile
these two antagonistic views is the
hardest nut for new Russia to crack
THE minister of war and the navy
went so far as to hint that the Ger
mans in strong force were menaacing
the safety of Petrograd merely for
the purpose of exciting the hostile
feelings of the Russians against Ger
many This fact will show how the
desire for peace Is rapidly growing
among the Russian troops"

the espionage bill.
Aouaa 0acka r. a. plan. IA

HoNoo Backs IA. u. Plan.
Forty Ave democrats In the house
deliberately cast their votes with re-
publicans to reject the conference re.
port on the CONSUMPTION bill In order
that the Roosevelt amendment might
be adopted. They did SO in. spite Of
the following letter written by tho
president to Chairman Dent, chairman
Of the house military committees:
my dear Mr.. Dent: Now that tho
army bill has been successfully brought
out Of conference, want to express to
you my sincere appreciation Of the,
service you and your colleagues have
rendered in helping to bring the bill to
a final consideration, free from any
feature that would embarrass the sys-
tenn Of draft upon which it is based.
II trust the conference report may
be very promptly adopted Every hour
counts in these critical times and de-
lay might have very serious conse-
quences."
Democrats Quit Chief. I, !.
Fifteen democratic senators voted to
eliminate the censorship provision
from the espionage bill, tho that pro-
vision as originally drafted. had tho
hearty approval of the president.
This detection Of democrats in both
chambers would in ordinary times
mark a split Of great political conse-
quences. 1t is less important today.
tho matter Of serious concern to the
president and his political advisers, be-
cause,partisanship has been disregard
ed in view of the necessity OF putting
the country in condition to fight hard
against the imperial German govern
ment.
Thus the declaration Of the existence
of state Of war was made upon the
of the president with
the consent OF republicans as well as
democrats The various military APP
preparation bills We're passed by a
vote This was likewise
true of the great financial bill and
the CONSUMPTION bill and Will be true
OF the revenue bill.
Wants TO Be Recognized.
Congress. at the beginning Of the
extra session, was willing to give the
president anything and everything for
which he asked. Congress is still will
Ing to back the president, but IL 1t IS
to do so heartily, it asserts he must
grant recognition. 1t does not purpose
to have bills prepared by the several
departments and sent to II with in
structions to pass them without the
change OF a punctuation mark. 1t

AMERICAN SOLDU.R

Paris, June 1.-THE American
enlisted men who came to France
with Maj. Gen. Pershing are having
experience with foreign habits, Ian
guages and rations, which indicate
what the main body of American
troops will find when it arrives.
The Americans are quartered at the
Pepinierc barracks, huge quadrilat-
oral on Place St. Augustine, one of
the central locations of Paris. There
are housed troops from all the en-
tcnte allied nations, including Rus
slams, Servians, Belgians, Rouman-
ians, Canadians Australians and New
Zcalanders, with 60 American troop
ers, engineers and automobile drivers
among the latest arrivals. The vast
central court presents a strange sight
in the mingling of the uniforms and
flags of the various nations.

and it's own living and eating quar-
ters, but when the men are off duty
the streets are crowded with soldiers

troops are on French rations, which
they like better than American or
British rations, for in addition to the
abundance of well cooked food they
embrace the regular French allow
ance of wine, which, however, may
be discontinued when the American
rations are established The chief
novelty for the Americans is the con-
tinental breakfast, restricted to bread
and coffee. Lunch and dinner are
served in courses, with plenty of
meat and vegetables. The meatless
days do not apply to the military.
The sleeping quarters are plain and
comfortable, with good beds, clean
sheets and ample sanitary arrange
ments. The Americans are on a reg
ular schedule, with reveille at 6
o'clock in the morning, breakfast at

Dr. Ernest p. Bicknell, director zen.

member of the executive board Of tho
Boy Scouts Of America, has been In
conference with other officials at the
Boy Scout headquarters, working ont
definitely the plans proposed for the
cooperation Of the 258,OOO scouts and
scout officials with the Red Cross in
Its war work. =
Doctor Bicknell Is enthusiastic about
the prospect Of efficient aid by the Bow
scouts or America In various branches
or lied Cross work. In the first place
every boy scout receives, In his regu.
lar scout training, instruction and prac-
tice In first aid and life-saving, and
many scouts have gained such high pro-
hciency in first aid that they have OBJ
tanned the Merit Badge, which the
scout movement offers.
The second factor making for eff
Client cooperation with a great relief
organization like the Red Cross, is that
the boy scouts, wherever located. In
Dig cities or In hamlets, are organized
In definite groups apd are under re-
sponsible adult leadership. This lead.
ership can be reached quickly with the
information as to ways to help, togeth-
er with instructions, from the national
headquarters of the movement. Thus

creasing responsibilities in war time.
Service of local groups of this kind
can be given more effectively In COOP

leaders everywhere have been advised
to Immediately acQualnt themselves
with the local Red Cross need.

little piece Of ground" he says. "His
spring crop, he said, was one garden,
his summer crop second, and his
fall crop a third. His fourth was o
winter garden He said the latter had
q rows, and 1S hills to a row. Each
hill. he added, was one-quart jar
filled with preserved vegetables which
his other three gardens had produced.
In his winter garden he had 'one
row. Of corn on the cob, two rows Of
corn Off the cob and one row each Of
carrots, spinach, caulifiower, cabbage
and other vegetables.
Canning will be just as important
q part Of the Boy Scouts work as rails
Ing vegetables"

PATRICK, ROUTE 3

The prospects are goods so far fo
a good corn crop. 1t is badly needed
We have one farmer, Mr.. A. p. Ploy
er, who has been farming for A.
years and he says this is the frs
| time he has had to buy corn since III
has been farming. This speaks wei
for sand hill farmer. He had tc
buy only three bushels this time ano
he says if that does not carry his
mule to lay-by time he will hold il
Bermuda grass until the crop is laid
by.
Tobacco is growing rapidly, pos
sibly too fast, on account the exces-
sve rains for the past fifteen days.
Farmers have done well to prevent
this crop from being taken by grass,
as the season has been exceedinly
wet. Cotton is small but beginning
to show forms and is looking healthy.
1t is interesting to note the enter
prise of the Tomato Club girls in
Patrick. They have fine tomatoes and
bean patches on every available place
in the gardens and in addition have
planted velvet beans on the streets
Some time ago some trees were set
out for shade trees, but they died
and the girls are making use of the
dead stakes by planting velvet beans
to run on them. DR.. Earle has set
out some egg plants and peppers or
the side walk, on the theory that
vegetable are more profitable than
rag weeds.
Mr.. Murdock Dickson killed a rat
tie snake in his out field the other day
that was Id years, 6 months and
days old. AS evidenced of it's age il
carried Id rattles and button. Not
quite old enough to register for the
army, but evidently it would make 8
brave fighter, as it stood it's ground
and dared Mr.. Dixon to advance
across the trenches.
