Washington. March 27.--The men
of action" in the Cabinet to-day laid
before President Wilson their whole
programme, comprising thorough
and responsible American participa-
ton in the war. Mr.. Wilson, as al
ways, was non-committal. His an
swer is expected to be delivered at
the last meeting of the Cabinet be-
fore the special session Of Congress.
He probably will read his forthcom-
ing message to the Cabinet.
Secretary McAdoo, it is under
stood, emphasized the following car
dinal points of the scheme of Ameri-
can cooperation with the Entente AL
lies:
1 A declaration of a state Of war
L existing between Germany and
the United States, placing the blame
for the commencement of hostilities
on Germany in the commission OF
overt acts of aggression against
American lives.
= The hotation of an Allied loan
- of not less than 81 900, 900 900.
secured by bonds of the United
States.
> The development under govern
- ment control Of industrial as
sistance to the Allies on a much
larger scale than heretofore.
A The use of the naval power OF
7 the United States to the limit
of it's potentiality to destroy the sub
marines.
= The instant dispatch of "sen-
~ timental army" Of about TO-
900 regulars to plant the American
flag on the Western front, and the
beginning of preparations for uni
versal service army.
4 The construction of nation
~ allied feet of wooden freight
ships to insure the constant replen-
ishment of tonnage destroyed by
German submarines, and thus to de-
feat beyond the shadow Of doubt
the German programme.
No Hint of Attitude
Given by Wilson
1t is impossible to say how much OF
this plan Mr.. Wilson indorses. He
gave no hint of his attitude to the
Cabinet, but the impression is that
he will follow it in the main.
1t was stated emphatically at the
White House, for the President, that
he had given none of his callers any
ground for believing that he was
back-tracking. Senator Hitchcock,
of Nebraska, had called earlier, and
something he said started the rumor
that the President was still of "open
mind" as to the advisability of recog-
nizing a state of war. This was in
terpreted to mean that Mr.. Wilson
was considering continuing armed
neutrality for an indeterminate time.
The authorized statement from the
White House was 10 counteract this.
Senator Hitchcock said plainly
that Mr.. Wilson had not confided his
views. He was not attempting to
represent the Presidents views, he
said; but his own were that nothing
was to be gained as yet by departing
from the armed neutrality policy. lie
said this was the sentiment in Ne
braska also.
Asked if the sinking Of American
ships and the destruction of Ameri-
can lives had not affected him and
his constituents, he replied that it
had, but added that it seemed impos-
sible to accomplish more in state OF
war than was being accomplished
now.

Houston Asks
Farmers Aid
In War Crisis
Urges Mobilization of Re-
sources to Prevent Food
Shortage

Washington, March 27.-The farmers
of America were appealed to by Secre-
tary Houston to-day TO join in agricult-
ural preparedness measures so the
country might not be handicapped by
food shortage in its efforts to meet the
international crisis. Elimination Of
waste, conservation of surplus and at
tainment of maximum crop returns
were outlined as imperative steps for
strengthening agricultural resources.
Both for economic and patriotic rea-
sons" the Secretary said in a national
statement, "the American farmer
should strive this year for the highest
standard Of efficiency in the production
and conservation Of food. IL is desir-
able that throughout the country farm
ers confer among themselves on mat
ters affecting the production of needed
crops, and that they consult freely with
county agents, state agricultural col
leges and the Department Of Agricult-
ure."
Agricultural Mobilization
The Secretarys appeal is part Of the
campaign undertaken by the Depart
ment of Agriculture to mobilize the ma
tion's agricultural resources.
"~nder existing conditions" he said,
"every precaution should be taken. %

seed sufficiently in advance to insure
against the planting of dead seed, l2)
to treat with disinfecting dips all seed

ed, such as the smuts of wheat, barley,
oats and rye, the losses from which
are estimated conservatiyely at $780,

year, 90, 10 prepare especially thor
oughly for planting these vitally i'm
portant cereal crops, and % care for
them as may be necessary during the
season
Guard Against Disease
The statement declared it was espo-
cially important 10 reduce the risk OF
wastes through lNf dNliOH OF ulNtdnN
or insects in Northern staple vege-
tables, such as potatoes, cabbage and
onions. Secretary Houston suggested
that all seed potatoes be treated for
scab before planting, adding that "a
widespread outbreak Of blight through
out the important potato producing
districts might diminish production at
the rate Of 100000 bushels a day
during August and September, if pro
longed rainy weather should occur"
Preventable potato diseases. the Sec
rotary sAid. frequently reduce the crop
from 100000 to 1O0.000,000 BUSH
cls. "Some Of the most conspicuous
cron wastes" the statement continued,
occur with fruits and vegetables. OF
which. in normal years, larger guam
tites usually are grown than the pro-
dpecrs can market proftably." Can
ming. driving and preserving operations,
il added. should not be delayed until
late gunmcr or autumn, and family
ca,dens should be planned 10 supply
amply quantities Of carly maturing
fvuirs and vegetables for preservation,
"A well as fresh products for imme-
disto consumption.
The Secretary's statement viii be

From all parts of the empire | hear
that the reformers are receiving heart

the Black Hundred recently provoked
considerable disorders. Elsewhere. even
in the Nolga provinces. the home OF the

regime is hailed with JOY.
Won Bethmann- Hollweg's speech Is
awaited with the greatest interest IN
Russia. where it is firmly believed that
Germany would not invite war with
the United States unless il intended TO

SLAMS think that Hollweg will make a
special plea to them and then launch
a great offensive at Riga, where great
numbers of troops and guns have been
concentrated.

Peter Hale, a wealthy young man
OF leisure. returning to America, re-
eeived a puzzling wireless: IF you
nave not as yet received the sign of
The Double Cross, come at once up
on your arrival in New York to the
Hotel Astor and there read your faith
er's will"
Peter was surprised but he was
still to be more surprised. On board
amoug the passengers was "The Mys-
terious Lady in No. q" She was not
listed and appeared only in a heavy
veil and coat so as to make recogni
tion impossible. Returning unexpect-
edly from dinner the very evening on
which his peculiar wireless arrived,
Peter heard a noise in his room
Bursting in he discovered the "Mys-
terious Lady" the most beautiful wo.
man he had ever seen. She restrained
him from turning on the lights and
dropped her handkerchief on the floor.
Bending down to pick it up, Peter
suddenly found the rug pulled out
from under him, sending him sprawl
ing on the floor, while the lady dash
ed laughing to her own room across
the passage.
In the meantime UP on deck q panic
had been started by the cry Of Sub
marine. In the excitement that fol-
lowed, Peter, assisting the Mysterious
Lady. suddenly discovered the mark
Of the Double Cross on her right arm.
Before he could question her she had
fled and he was left as mystified al
before. Who was this Mysterious La.
dy and what was the MARI Of the Dou-
bic Cross?

ZIONIST COMMANDS PETRO-
GRAD HOME GUARD.
Pinchus Ruttenberg, who played
an important role in the Russian
Revolution of 1905, and was respon-
sible for the arrest and execution of
the notorious provocateur, Gapon,
who for number of years, be-
trayed the Russian Revolutionists
to the autocratic regime, has been
appointed Vice Commander of the
Petrograd civil army, and has been
vested with the authority to main
tain order in the city of Petrograd.
He is a member of the Poale Zion
Organization.
When the war broke out, Pinchus
Ruttenberg came to this country to
propagate the idea of an Internation-
al Jewish Congress and to organize
a Jewish legion to be sent to the
Palestine front While being sue
cessful in helping organize the
American Jewish Congress, he failed
in his attempt to form a Jewish
Legion. During his stay in this
country, Mr.. Ruttenberg published
a booklet, "The National Revival of
the Jewish People" which gained a
wide circulation throughout the
country. This booklet was, so to
speak, confession of faith, and
caused nationwide comment on the
part of the Yiddish as we'll as the
Anglo Jewish press. He was also
active in other branches of Jewish
national work and was the organizer
of the Nationalist Socialist Organi-
zation with an affliation of 10000
Jewish laborers. 1t is reported that
in Petrograd he has again taken up
the work of organizing. a Jewish le-
gion, which is meeting with consid-
cradle success.
