SOWING OF ORCHARDS
TO CROPS is PROPOSED
TO OFFSET FROST LOSS.

East Lansing, Mich, May 2.-Orchar-
dists in fruit growing sections OF the
state whose fruit buds were damaged
by the freezing weather Of the past
winter, can save themselves from
heavy losses this season if they will
plant their orchards TO root crops and
small fruits, say horticultural special
lists OF the Michigan Agricultural
College.
The M. A. c. men add that 'the
clayey and sandy loan soils character
istic of-the best fruit growing sections
are just the type to which some of the
root and small fruit crops are best
adapted. Where fruit buds have been
damaged, it is recommended that the
orchards be planted this year. BY so
doing the ground will be made to re-
turn fair profit, and what is equally
important, add to the food supply.
Before planting intercrops in an
orchard, the owner should bear certain
points in minds. The soil must be
deep in good physical condition, fertile
and be possessed of an adequate
moisture supply. If it is the kind of a
soil capable of supporting only the
growth of the trees, it cannot be made
to carry both trees and intercrops with
out danger to the former. Extra care
should be taken in case interplanting
is attempted to see that the fertility of
the soil is maintained by the application
OF manure and fertilizers.
"Only annual crops should be grown
in the orchards. In general, a low
growing crop which demands good till
age and comes off early is best Almost
any vegetable crop will do, provided
there is market for such crop. Po-
tatoes, early corn, carrots and beets
are particularly suited to young or
chards because they require good cult
walton.
'In fruit districts where canning
factories exist such crops as tomatoes,
corn and beans may be put in, as the
supply of these crops is often insuffi-
cient to meet the factory demands.

MOTHERS DAY
PROCLAMATION.

Our American civilization is built
around the home. The heart OF the
home is the mother What is there in all
the realm of Art that stands higher,
more commanding, more beautiful,
than simple, refined, gracious woman
in her household; a woman whose daily
life is an out-pouring Of the Gospel of
service, who is worshipped by her chill.
dren, beloved by her husband and who
rules in her home by sweetness, by
gentleness, by self-denial, by love? The
mothers of the land are engaged in the
noblest OF all callings, the rearing of
their sons and daughters to take their
places as useful members Of society.
AS we, whose mothers have left us,
look back through the years, how sweet
and precious is the memory of the
mother in the old home. All her life
was beauteous life II ran like rill
down the hillside and sang all the time.
1t was like flowers that know no
summer and no winter. The memory
of it kirdles in us still the supremest
affection and arouses the finest en-
thusiasm of our hearts.
Therefore, that we may pay special
tribute of affection to the mothers who
still live and honor the memory of
the mothers who have gone from us, |,
Albert E. Sleeper, Governor of the
State of Michigan, do hereby designate

LANE MAKES PLEA FOR LOAN.
Recalls That Virginia Governor Gave
Whole Fortune To Revolution.

Washington. - Secretary of Interior
Franklin X. Lane made unique ap-
peal for subscriptions to the Liberty
Loan when he cited the historic fact
that Gov. Thomas Nelson, of Virginia,
second richest man in the Southern
colonies, gave his whole fortune to
help finance the Revolutionary War.
The Secretarys statement to the coun-
try reads:
"At Yorktown, Va, there Is shrine
to which repair the liberty lovers of
the land. 1t is simple stone marking
the grave of Gov. Thomas Nelson, who
entered the War for independence as
rich man with the exception of Gen
eral Washington the richest man in
the South) and died poor man, hav-
ing given his fortune for the support
of the Colonial troops. The stone
bears these words:
"'He Gave All For Liberty
"Such T.en brought liberty to us and
we now can repay them by lending our
savings for the maintenance of liberty
that government of the people, for the
people and by the people shall not per-
ish from the earth.'"

GREATEST WAR
MINES EXPLODED
British Strike Big Blows at
Germans on Belgian Front.
OLD YPRES Is NOW AVENGED
Key Position To All the Northern
Sector OF the Western Front, and
Even More Important Than
vimy Ridge.

With the British Armies in France.
In one Of the most elaborately plan
ned and daringly executed maneuvers
OF the war, Sir Douglas Haig's forces
have dealt mighty blow against the
German line In Belgium and been re-
warded with notable gains in terrain
and the capture OF more than 5000
prisoners and numerous guns Of vari-
Gus caliber. In addition, they inflicted
heavy casualties on the Germans.
Over a front of more than nine
miles, extending from the region of
Ypres southwark nearly to Armen-
there's, the British started their drive,
and everywhere advanced their line,
capturing villages and numerous
points of vantage, among the latter
the Observation-Disclosures Ridge, which
commands the surrounding plains for
miles, and which for two and a half
years has been troublesome salient.
The villages of Messines and Wyte-
chaete fell into the hands of the Brit
ish during the attack and the British
even pressed on eastward from Wyts-
chaete and occupied the village of
Osttaverne, and trenches east OF the
village on front of more than five
miles.
Probably never in history was an
attack launched with greater prepara-
tion. For days the Wytschaete salient
had been the objective OF the British
guns which had hurled tons of steel
upon 1t. When the time for the at
tack came the British loosed mines
containing 100000 pounds of high ex-
plosives in front of the German posi-.
tions, the detonations being heard 130
miles away in England.
With CONSERVATION reigning among
the Germans and under curtain of
fire, English, Irish, New Zealand and
Australian infantrymen, with tanks"
to aid them started across the open.
The Germans offered only slight re-
sistance and everywhere were beaten
of.
Great preparations are being made
in France for the arrival Of American
troops. Already an American trans
port containing food for them has ar
rived in French port and American
warships are anchored off the French
Coast. Camps have been prepared for
all branches of the American forces
who are expected.

LEAK IN MAIL TO
GERMANY FOUND
Three Important Arrests Made
in New York.
SUBJECT TO DEATH PENALTY
Three Men, Two OF Them Native
Americans, Held In Heavy Ball
On tho Charge OF Con-
spring To Send Mail.

New York.-Evdence that two com.
plete high-powered wireless installa-
tions, assembled here from various
sources, were shipped piecemeal to
Mexico, supposedly for use of Ger
man spy system in this country, was
unearthed in connection with the ar
rest Of three men on charges OF con-
spring to send mail containing mill
tary information surreptitiously from
the United States to Germany, through
members Of Norwegian ship crews.
1t was intimated by the United
States commissioner before whom the
alleged plotters were arraigned that 1t
was through their instrumentality that
advance news of the impending arrival
in England of the American destroyer
feet was sent to Germany before II
even became generally known in this
country that II had sailed.
With only scratching Of the sur
face Of the mass Of evidence in the
governments hands, indications have
been found that the mail system was
operated both ways between the
United States, Germany and Mexico.
Several hundred letters have been
seized, written in English, German and
Spanish, and some apparently in code.
They are being translated in the ex-
pectation that they will open the way
to full revelations OF the alleged spy
plot which is said to point to other
persons besides those under arrest.
The prisoners are Harry F. PERISH
and Irving Bonaparte, both said to be
American born, employed by a Ger
man electrical company here, and
Axel e. Melchar, said to be natural
lied citizen from Sweden. They are
charged with conspiring TO induce
members of the crews OF the steam
ships Bergensfjord and Kristiansfjord,
both chartered to carry regular United
States mails, to take letters and pack
ages from this country destined for
Germany in violation of the law pro-
hibiting competition with the United
States mail
The maximum penalties provided by
the statutes under which the charges
are brought are $4,000 fine and two
years Imprisonment for conspiracy,
and $50 fine and six months imprison-
ment for competing with the mails,
but it was said by the government au-
thorities that the investigation would
continue with view of determining
whether treason had been committed.
