The official Newspaper of the Boil
sheviki prints an appeal to the French
workingmen to over throw the Clemen-
ceau government. The "Pravda" also
prints the following:
"The North American plutocrats are
ready to supply Russia with locomo-
tives only in exchange for the heads
Of Russian soldiers. Such an equiva-
lent is too high"
For the first time since the Boil
sheviki revolution the capitalistic
newspapers have been permitted to
appear and the imprisoned ministers
have been promised their freedom II

War on Austria
Is Not Certain
Members of Congress Find
Executive Circles Luke
warm on Subject

WASHINGTON, Nov. 3O-Austria's
decision to line up with Germany in
opening peace negotiations with the
Russian Bolsheviki may possibly have
some effect on the Administrators
disinclination toward a declaration of
war on the Dual Monarchy, but the
general impression in official circles
here is that it will not bring about any
tangible development, for the present
at least.
Administration Senators gathering
for the coming session of Congress,
among them some who have expressed
the opinion publicly that the United
States should declare war on all Ger
many's allies, have found on confer
ence with the executive branch of the
government that there is no DISPOSE
tion to ask Congress to make another
var declaration at this time. They
found that the hope of breaking up the
Central Power alliance had not been
entirely abandoned.
President Wilson continued to work
on his address to Congress to-day, and
the fact that he had before him a great
quantity of material bearing on rela-
tons with Austria. caused some spec
ulation as to whether he would touch
on the subject. Official intimation of
what the President would say still were
withheld. The fact that he is holding
the address open to the last minute.
probably so late that advance copies
may not be available until he starts
to speak, put accurate predictions out
Of the question. One official to-day
said the problem of whether the gov
eminent should declare war on Austria
was not so easy of solution as it looked
to the average citizen.

Jews Called On to Build
New Nation in Palestine

The Provisional Zionist Committee
issued a statement yesterday to the
Jews of America, calling on them to
mobilize for the reestablishment Of a
Jewish nation in Palestine. in accord

Great Britain in. regard to that eoun-
try.
"The British declaration" says the
statement, "is a public recognition Of
what the Jewish people has ever pro-
claimed as its historic task. lsraeTs
perennial aspiration to reestablish him
self In his home land is approaching
reality before our very eyes. But only
through Jewish valor and Jewish sac

u. S. War on Turkey
Would Aid Berlin Plans,
Declares Missionary

BOSTON, Nov. 3o.-The Turks are
heartily tired of German rule, and a
declaration OF war by the United States
against Turkey now would be playing
into the hands of the Berlin officials, in
the opinion of DR.. William f. Strong.
editorial secretary of the American
Board of Commissioners for Foreign
Missions.
Those who have come out of Turkey
during the last few months give only
one testimony, and that is to the effect
that Turkey is heartily tired of the
domination of Germany. 1t would be
cruel in the extreme to make an attack
upon a people who hate the alliance
with Germany with a perfect hatred
and who would gladly break that alli-
ance if they had the power to do so. A
declaration Of war to-day on the part
of the United States would lead to a
new attack under German direction
upon the non-Moslem populations of
Turkey, whose elimination from Asia

of Germany.

ENJOYS Expected
to Bring About Closer
Unity

PARIS, Nov. 30.-The delegates to
the Inter-Allied conference were en-
gagged to-day with the committee meet
ings at the various French ministries.
there being no general session. The
impression is that the important work
of the conference will be transacted b.
these committees. the proceedings o.
which are entirely secret.
The American members are expecte1
to exercise great influence in bringing
about closer unity. They are pleased
with the cordial and receptive manner
in which their suggestions thus far
have beer received. The committee
meetings probably will be continued
for three days more.
II was announced officially to-day
that the Supreme War Council will be-
gin its sittings at Versailles at 10
o'clock tomorrow morning. 1t will be
attended by Premier Lloyd George and
General Wilson fer Great Britain,
Premier Clemenceau and General Foch
fer France, Premier Orlando and Gen.
eral Csdona for Italy, and Colonel
House and General Bliss for the
United States. While this council is
an advisory body for the formulation
of strategic plans for operations on
the Western front, including Italy, it
is expected its suggestions will bear
great weight with the commanders OF
the Allied armies and will result in
that unity of control which is so much
desired
No official statement was issued
from the conference to-day. The COM
mittees continued their sessions.

as fast as men and ships are ready

II the same policy is followed with
relation to the National Army that has

these three divisions. other things

Lord Lansdowne's plea is eagerly

he said:
when a British Uniorist leader like
Lansdowne arrives at the same conclu-
sion as the American common people,

Evidently the Lans1owne-Asquith-
Buckmaster group has come around TO
this point of view. England is now
sharply divided between the, bitter
enders' and the peace through negotia-
TONER'S with the latter in the ascend
ency."

none is known which, when eaten

For both rats and mice the COM

An Air Tight silo Keeps silage Best

Practically all the trouble from
spelling of silage comes from the &C
ton of air on the material after the
first necessary fermentation is over.
The first fermentation or "heating'
Of the green material uses up all the
oxygen of the air which is present
in it when it is packed into the silo.
If no more air can get in, no further
fermentation or decay can possibly
take place. If the silo is alright,
therefore, silage will keep Indefinite
ly. Of course, most silos are open
at the top and some spoilage will take
place from the top Of the mass down
wards. But this can be prevented in
large part, by covering the silage,
after it has finished settling, with a
layer of chopped hay or straw we'll

Stack or Shock for Grain-Which ?

Stacking and stack threshing of
grain are often advisable in spite of
the fact that the cost is from 10 to 20
per cent higher than the cost Of
shock threshing, says F. w. Peck,
University Farm, St. Paul. From
five to eight minutes more is re-
Quired to stack and stack thresh a
busheI of wheat than to shock thresh
the same amount. The difference
for oats is from two to three minutes
in favor of shock threshing. Prac-
teal reasons, however, have to be
considered.
The farmer gains by stacking be-
cause he distributes his labor over
a longer period, leaving his thresh-
ing to be done later, when shock
threshing, owing to weather cOndi-
tiOns, lack Of machines or scarcity of
relatively high-priced labor, would
have been inadvisable or impossible.
Stacking protects the grain,
though little evidence Of the gain
here is available.
Stacking preserves the straw much
better for feeding and bedding live
stock, and stack threshing can usual
ly be moro profitably done near the
barns than can shock threshing.
If, again, a community has not
enough machines to thresh the grain
in short time, stacking as mea-
sure of protection and safety is ad-
visable.
