in great part to the belief in Germany
that the central powers could whip the
entente allies without resorting to the
last means at the disposal of Germany.
The developments of the last year have

international rules of conduct. Now
comes the climax. One last furious effort
to bring Great Britain to the position Of

SOLDIER TRUCK GARDENS
Are Feature of the Landscape on West
ern War Front.

French front, Feb Like the stage
driver who spent his monthly day off in
riding on an omnibus, the French soldier
when released for short repose from
digging and guarding trenches passes
most of his time digging and hoeing
truck gardens.
All along the French front, around the
depots and the cantonments and even
about the dugouts, the Associated Press
correspondent has seen admirably laid out
truck gardens. AT the beginning of the
new year there were 1922 of these plots
under cultivation by French soldiers, and
the produce of these plots for the past
year il valued by the army authorities
at 100000 francs at wholesale prices.
Nearly everywhere good results have
been obtained and passing through the
country parallel with the trenches the
correspondent saw on all sides well tend
ed and fourishing beds of cabbage, Brus-
sells sprouts, lettuce, leeks and other
green stuff. Not only, however, are vege-
tables of all kinds grown by the men,
but in some cases the soldiers have ini-
tiated small breeding establishments for
the raising of domestic animals and Oft

and cackling and quaeking hens, geese

tic expedition, who have not been heard
from since May 9, 1915, will soon be
known. Sir Ernest Shackleton, who
sailed from Port Chalmers on Dec 81,
said he was hopeful of finding the mem
bers of the marooned Macintosh party
all well, but he realized that they have
been exposed to grave dangers and he
could not conceal his anxiety about
them.
Sir Ernest is proceeding to the rescue
of the Aurora, the same vessel mooring
in blizzard in Ross sea two years
ago. These men have had no means of
knowing that Sir Ernest's part of the
expedition which was to have crossed
the southern ice cap from the Weddell
sea, failed because their ship, the En-
durance, was crushed in the ice. Igno-
rant of this, it Is possible that the Mack
intosh party divided and some of its
members proceeded toward the pole to
cache provisions for Shackleton's party,
or have gone on in search Of him be-
cause of anxiety over his non-appear-
anee.
Ii there has been division of the
Macintosh party in this manner it will
render the rescue much more difficult.
for it will mean that the Aurora will
not only have to get through the ice in
Ross sea and reach the spot where the
men were last seen, but Sir Ernest will

Granting that there was plot to as,
sassinate Premier Lloyd George, the
whole entente alliance win rejoice that
the plot was nipped in the bud, because
Lloyd George is the head and aetuating
force back of the ententes war opera
tions. To have lost Lloyd George just as
he was beginning to get the various plans
started for the continuing of the war
fare would have been an even greater
calamity than was the loss of Lord
Kitchener, the man who organized the
English army but who was expected to
leave to others the work of employing
that army to the best advantage. Kitch-
ener's work, thus, was virtually eomplet-
ed when he went down with the Inflated
warship; Lloyd Georges has Just begun.
The death of George would have brought
about such a complication that the opera
tions OF the entente would have been
greatly handicapped just at the time
when they should have been at their
highest power. Hence there is reason for
the greatly increased efforts to preserve
him from harm-efforts such as the ar
rest of several persons on the charge of
plotting the premier's death

The federal department of agriculture
is of the opinion that the abandoned
farms of New England will serve as a
means to the solving of the high cost of
living problem by offering great oppor-
tunity for the raising of various kinds
of farm products When casting about
for locations for prospective farmers, the
federal department Of gariculture should
come into northeastern Vermont and
there find large number of farms that
are abandoned. We refer especially to
the territory lying between Orange and
Groton, where the chances to return to

is lying idle when there are so many
people suffering for the want of just such
opportunities as these abandoned farms
