MORALE LOW IN GERMANY
 AT PRESENT
Conflict Would Soon Be at An End if It Were Not for Warfare
 of U-BOatS.
PEOPLE DISHEARTENED

WASHINGTON, May 29.-After fifteen and one half months of har- rowing experiences on the battle fronts of France, Dr. Ira Nelson, of Crothersville, Ind, has arrived here with firsthand information regarding the progress of the European war.
 He left the fighting forces April 27, and was present when the big dents were made in the Hindenburg line. He went to Europe with the Canadian troops and has held the rank of captain in the medical corps. He returns to the United States to secure a commission in the American medical corps.
 Dr. Nelson came back thoroughly impressed that German morale is at a low ebb, and that the war would soon be over were it not for the progress being made by the submar- inc campaign.

CALIFORNIA
 WANTS TO BE
 BIG WAR FARM
Movement Is Started in Southern State for Great Cultivation
 of the Land.
SCHEME LACKS LABOR

SAN FRANCISCO, May 29.-Cali- lorna has started a movement to make the state the "war farm of the allied world" Chambers of com merce. farm organizations and busi- ness men have undertaken to adver- tise that California has millions of acres of most fertile land in the world available for intensified cultivation, but lacks labor. In SaramentO valley alone are over a million acres of this unused land, each ten acres of which would support handsomely family and supply hundreds of tons of foodstuffs.
 The San Francisco Call fathered the movement, which has been ta- ken up by influential men of the state Commercial organizations will suggest that the other Al States send their quota of men as tillers. It is believed enough youths under mill tary draft age and enough men past it would embrace the chance. Farm experts say the state has sufficient valley land to support 25,000,000 per sons in plenty, but only tenth of the number necessary to bring it un- der intense cultivation. Young wo- men of the nation are to be invited to participate in the movement, for there are untold opportunities for healthful and lucrative occupation.
