Washington.-A peremptory demand
upon Germany for the release of the

the state department with President
Wilson's approval.
There virtually is no hope here that
the hour OF more serious trouble with
Germany can be postponed much
longer. Many responsible officials of
the administration have come to the
conclusion that unless there is
prompt and decided change in the gen
eral attitude of Germany toward the
interests of the United States, the ap-
pearance of President Wilson before
congress to ask authority to afford
protection to American lives and prop
erty is only matter of days.
Any doubt existing as to the ruth

rights long since has disappeared. and
the situation is being made more and

in most quarters he will, the present
session comes to an end soon, and it Is
regarded as inevitable that he will de-
liver another address on German-Amer-

there in that service until 1864,

Matthew Carroll, forming the firm
of Carroll & STEEL of Fort Benton
The firm gradually worked into a
heavy freighting business, and in
1871 the firm of Carroll & Steel dis

became one of the largest transpor-

Farmers of Montana:
eve are confronted this year by
an unusual condition of affairs and
it is up to us to meet the emergency.
"Our country is at war and food
supplies are light. The one solution
of the problem is the production Of
more and better food on every acre
of land on which crops are grown,
especially potatoes.
"a potato shortage is apt to result
in this country any year when wea-
ther or soil conditions are unfavor-
able in our principal producing dis
tricts, but we must put forth.a great
er effort to grow more and better
potatoes.
"There are good, undevelOped dis
tricts that can produce large tom
mage and by better methods of prop
agation and cultivation the yield on
acres now in the crop can be very
greatly increased.
"Also l would suggest that winter
killed alfalfa ground be used for po-
tatoes, planting between May 1 and
May 10, cultivating three or four
times during growing season. The
more you stir the ground the less
need of irrigating. Unquestionably
thorough cultivation will mean more
labor to the acre but it will mean
more to the bushel.
so, as Lincoln once said, The
most valuable of all arts will be the
art of deriving comfortable subsis-
tence from the smallest area of SOIL

cause the question of food supply is
the most pressing and important be-
fore us, and the men who raise the
food to supply our people and our
allies are ust as patriotic as the men
who enlist"
