Gardner Predicts
Conscription Pass

WASHINGTON, d. c., April 26.--
That, the army bill, containing the
provision for ''selectiYe drafting" as
favored by the president and the mill
tary experts, will be passed by the
house OF representatives by safe ma
Iority was the statement Of Congress
man Gardner of Massachusetts, one
of the most ardent workers for con-
scription and universal service In the
lower house. r s,s s ~.
Mr.. Gardner said last night that he
has canvassed the house thoroughly
on this question and that poll of the
members showed that thu are at
least 213 of them who will vote for the
bill. About. H. are obstinate in their
opposition, while 80 rave declined to
commit themselves either for or
against. Even 4 all Ct the nonconl-
initial members should vote for the
bill this still gives the administration
clear majority of 90 votes on this
coaut. 1t Is believed that the ma
iority for the measure will be much
greater than that. and thzt party lines

VIRTUAL ARNISTICE
ON RUSSIAN FRONT
Soldiers Fraternize- Germans
Did Not Know of
Revolution
By William G. Shepherd.

Omitted Press Staff Correspondent
Petrograd, May 5.--A virtual armis-
tice exists along almost the entire Rus
sian front today. Not a shot has been
fired on the Austro- Russian front in
more than a month. There has been no
real activity on the German-R Russian
sector
At many places Russian and German
soldiers are frate1nizing, meeting m-
armed in No Man IS Land.
So general has become the habit of
fraternizing and so completely has the
fighting spirit been subdued that Gen
eral Gourka, commander of the Russian
forces on the Minsk front, today issued
formal statement warning his forces
to beware of German ruse. He con-
tended the Germans friendliness was
part of their plan to obtain information
of Russian conditions.
Soldiers arriving for the duma meet
ing are authority for the statement
there has been absolutely no fighting
on the Austrian front.
In this connection, Petrograd news
papers today publish eleven uncensored
letters from soldiers at the front. One
typical letter, from the Minsk front
said:
"Coming along the trench today l
saw q number of our men smilingly
looking over the trench-right where
they were fair targets for the enemy s
bullets.

were holding their palms horizontally
before their mouths and blowing huge
spuff'-their way of indicating that
+he ear has been blown away. The
Germans repeatedly thrust their bay
onets in the ground and threw down
their rifles
"Finallv an interpreter from the
German lines came along. He told us
the Germans hadn't heard the news
about Russia. We told him the story
of +he revolution and he in turn inter
nreted it for his comrades. "
Petrograd is thrilled by such reports
90 these Of complete amity between
the opposing forces, but military lead
ers are fearful of German trickery.

Do not get the material sloppy; it
should fall apart readily in the hand
after pressing together. This may be
broadcasted over the field and will hold
in check any ordinary outbreak.
For plants such as tomatoes, cabbage,
etc, the use Of small sylinders of stiff
paper or tin, such as old tin cans with
the bottoms melted out, may be pressed
into the soil about the plants, for the
purpose of excluding the worm. The
cylinder should reach some distance
down in the soil, and project from one
inch to three inches above the ground
about the plant, care being taken to see
that no worms are enclosed within the
cylinders. Worms will seldom, if ever,

stead OF being shipped on hoof to East
ern markets.
Apother factor which has been very
important in the development of tie To-
cal packing situation has been the large
increase in the supply of hogs from
western territory. A few years ago so
per cent of the supply of hogs for this
market came from Kansas and Nebraska
where the Denver packers had to go into
active competition against the river
markets. This last year fully ninety
per cent of the supply came from the
Rocky Mountain states, Colorado, Wyo-
ming and Idaho furnishing the largest
part of the supply. As the supply OF
hogs increases, the packing industry h src
will advance and the local packers are
looking for large increase in their bus
mess during the coming year. 1t is
estimated that there will be spent ill
increased packing facilities i'll Denver
alone during 1917 nearly $500 n20, and
this expenditure is being made at time
when the cost of building material is ON
the highest plane that was ever known.
