How long will the war last?

How long VIII the war iasG
This question is being asked by
numberless persons these days, and
the best answer to it is this:
Viewed from all present indica
tions the war has hardly begun and
those Americans who already ina
CINE themselves oppressed by the
cost of the titanic struggle have
hardly begun to give.
The war may last five, ten or
twenty years. The seventh son of a
seventh son, born in the right time
of the moon is as impotent to guess
its duration as the most irresponsi-
BILE inmate of a lunatic asylum.
The only patent fact is that the
end is not even remotely in sight;
that, on the contrary, there is every
indication that it will be a long
drawn-out struggle, eclipsing in loss
of life and enormous financial cost
any cataclysm ever dreamed of since
the world began.
The pacifst who is now consoling
himself with the thought that war is
about over, may, if he lives long
enough, see the lisping boys in
knickerbockers of today grow up and
shoulder arms for their country. In
stead of a few hundred thousand
American troops on the French front
he is likely to live to see an Ameri-
can army of 100000 there, fighting
the battles of freedom with every
conceivable auxiliary support.
Whatever may be the roseate opin-
ions of the optimists as to an early
termination of the struggle that is
convulsing the world the experts of
the war department have grim and
serious realization of the job the
United States is facing in making
the world safe for democracy.
Giving heed to the prospects that
are apparent to them, the several
bureaus of the war department have
prepared estimates that contemplate
the existence of military force of
100000 in the fiscal year commenc-
ing July 1, 1918, the various items
making a total of something like
$4,000, 100000.
Military men believe that ulti-
mately there will be need for at
least 100000 men and possibly 10,-
100000, and that plans should be
made for obtaining, organizing,
equipping and training the forces as
fast as practicable without regard to
any minimum number.

after a two-hour conference with
President Wilson on the wage dis

ton" and were not inclined to con-
tend for anything which they did not
consider necessary for their welfare.

11'WORTH MAN SUED
FORBRFACH OF PROMISE
Alaska Woman Wants $4,000 From
Jeavenworth Rancher Who She
Says Did Not Keep His
Promise

Alleging that he broke his pro-
mise to marry her, Elizabeth L
Code of Seattle has brought suit for
damages in the sum of $4,000
against William j. Lewis, of Leaven-
worth, Chelan county, says the We
natchee World of Tuesday.
The Mr.. Lewis referred to lives
on the Hove ranch, 10 miles up the
Chumstick, and is we'll known in this
city.
In her complaint, which was filed
yesterday, Miss Code alleges that
Mr.. Lewis and herself became en-
gagged in 1908. During January,
1917, while she was employed by the
A. Groswald Company at Sand Point,
Alaska, at $3.50 per month, Lewis
wired her, according to her allega-
tions, telling her to join him in Sc
attle and there be married. Giving
up her position, she complied with
his request and took the first boat
for Seattle. But Lewis, she claims,
failed to make good on his promise
to marry her and has continued to
refuse to do so. She therefore asks
for $500, the expenses of her trip
from Alaska to Seattle and her hotel
bill while in the latter city; also for
$4,000 additional damages. H. A.
Martin and William Martin, Seattle
attorneys, represent the plaintiff.

DEVELOPMENT OF SUGAR BEET
INDUSTRY IN WASHINGTON

The Utah Sugar Company will
start work at once on a big beet
sugar plant at Toppenish, Wash. The
company recently offered to erect
such a factory if a 5000 acreage
was assured A campaign was at
once begun among the farmers and
many pledges were secured but
things moved TOO slowly for the bus
ines men so they closed their stores
and organized a drive. Before night
5000 acres were pledged. 1t is
said the factory viii equal in size
the S25O,00O structure just COM
pleted at Yakima. The sugar com
pany will also build at Toppenish a
mill for utilizing the syrup excess
from the other mills in the valley
Some idea of the value of such
a plant to the community is given
bv the statement that sugar beet
growers of Yakima received S125,-
600 representing returns on 49,
600 tons of sugar beets harvested
in October. The company expects
TO distribute about 100000 in No
vennber and an equal amount in De-
cember.

REGISTERED men WILL
GET QUESTIONABLE f
Those Liable to Army Service Will
Be in Five Classes-Must
Answer At Once

An advance copy of the question
naire to be sent to all the men regis.
tered for the draft who have not yet
been called was received last week
by the local draft districts.
The different classifcations in
which these men are to be listed
practically do away with the method
of determining approximately when
each is to be called by reference to
the order numbers. The men will
probably be called according to Glass
"a" Glass 3d." etc., and as a result
the order numbers as they now stand
will avail nothing. A man with a
low number might be placed in the
last classification to be called.
Seven days are allowed the regis
trants in which to return the ques-
tionnaire.
"You are required by law to re-
turn this QUESTIONABLE filled out in
accordance with instructions contain
ed herein, within seven days of this
notice. Failure to do so is a misde-
meanor punishable with fine or i'm
prisonment for one year, and may
result in the loss of valuable rights
and in immediate induction into mill
tary service"
This is the notice that heads the
QUESTIONABLE. People who have
changed their address since the last
notice was sent to them by the ex-
emption boards should notify their
respective boards at once so as to
avoid needless delay in receiving the
questions.
A dispatch issued from the author
tiles at Washington, D. c., a few
days ago says that the first five
classes into which 100000 men
registered for military duty, and
those which are to be registered
hereafter are divided, and the order
in which they will be called for serv-
ice were officially announced in the
QUESTIONABLE which every registered
man must fill out and file. Con-
trary to some published reports it
does not exempt married men as a
class, but it does place married men
with dependent wives and children
far down on the list of tables.
In fact the QUESTIONABLE indicates
that only men of the first class will
be called to the colors except in the
greatest emergency. The first class
includes single men without depend
ent relatives; married men who ha-
bitually fail to support their fam
lilies, or dependent on their wives
for support; married men not use
fully engaged, whose families are
supported by an Independent income;
unskilled farm or industrial laborers;
registrants who claim no exemptions
or fail to submit to the question
naire.

Enjoyable Time B. Adams
Wins Trophy.
The fifth annual Thanksgiving
shoot of the Leavenworth Gun Club
was held at the club grounds last
Sunday and was very well attended
AS usual the large crowd greatly en-
ioyed the fine program arranged and
the morning passed so rapidly with
the amusements provided that all
were greatly surprised when Chef
Hearst called "Grub pile" 1t was
sure "some feed" and, as we remem-
ber, ran about as follows:
tx Chilled Shot (Beans)
Shells (Buns) Loaded With Schultz
Boiled Ham)
Cleaning Rods (Weinies)
More Shells and Oh! Yes, Primers
(Pickles)
Wash 1t Down With
Nitro Solvent (Coffee)
After the feed everyone dug up an
entrance fee and tried to coax tur-
key within reach. To facilitate mat
ters the fat men were provided with
chairs, ice water was provided for
those exhausted with the long chase
after the elusive Birud and from the
large stock of "Shells loaded with
Schultz" the Leans padded their
strength and gave the Fats a merry
chase.
At the traps, J. B. Adams, F. T.
Motteler and John Hartman won
birds with 10 straights; Motteler
beat out F. Null on a tied score of
9 to 10; Jay Adams beat out ]. Null
and C. Eckhardt on a tied score of
8 to 10; and John Hartman, the
lucky sinner, beat out Dave Burgett
on a tied score by breaking bird
that Burgett missed.
At the rifle range, G. Hamilton
and F. Wilson were easy winners of
a turkey apiece.

This trophy must be won at two
consecutive shoots by member of
the club before it can be permanent

boys all are looking forward to an
other chance at it.

too soon, leaving tired, happy
crowd to wend their way homeward,
some winners, some losers but all
with praise for the officers of the
Club that made such an enjoyable
time possible.

Due to high prices. potato planting
has become favorite pastime this
spring Most every potato grower has
his own peculiar ideas about spuds.
Some Of these ideas are good. some
are bad
How much seed does it take to Plant

oute How much will potatoes yield
These are questions that are often
asked
1t generaIIy takes from eight to
twelve bushels to plant an acre. At
this rate. about a bushel and half
will plant a lot fifty by a hundred
feet. The amount YOU use will de-
pend upon the size YOU cut the seed
pieces.
Don't use small potatoes for seed
unless YOU want to harvest small po-
taotes. Use spuds about four times
as big as a hens egg. Cut a potato
this size into four peces, and you wilt
have the right size pieces to plant
Each piece must have at least one eye
on il. and should have two. II the
potato is long in shape, cut il length
wise once and crosswise once. II II
is round. cut II lengthwise twice.
since seed is so high this year, the
grower will probably be justified in
cutting the seed potato into six OF
eight pieces
Potato eyes viii grow il they are
cut out with only a small part OF the
spud. But they will not produce a
vigorous plant. \ plant that is not
strong will not produce as many
spuds as one that gets a good start

Spuds should be planted in rows
about three feet apart. The hill'
should be about a foot and hall

six inches deep.
