few minutes after his Resignation
as a member of Congress. The an
nouncement that Representative
Gardner-to whom belongs the
credit for having first sounded the
alarm at the nations condition OF
unpreparedness, soon after the war
began in Europeans relllnqulshed
his seat in Congress to enter the
army, thrilled his colleagues in the
House.
The United States circuit court of
appeals in Boston yesterday heard
argument on the appeal of the su-
ureme council of the Royal Areanum
from an order of the district court
appointing Thomas J. Boynton tenn
porary receiver of the organization.
Counsel for the order argued that
the appointment was illegal because
no prior notice had been given the
supreme officers. An allegation of
financial Encouragement was de-
MED.
The American steamship De kalb,

they will be rounded up as Migrants
and madesto work on the FARMS This
can be done, it is said, eyen9if the
authorities have to resort to "scrap-
ping of laws" to vest the officers with
power to compel this course. Bankers
of the state will raise a pool of pos
sibly as much as 100000 for the
purpose of aiding deserving, strug-
Cling farmers to procure machinery
and seeds for the growing of crops.
The Council Of Defense will cooper
ate in this and where there are de-
serving men they will not be asked to
deposit collateral. The general de-
sire is to aid these men in every way.

MEN 4: MUST FIGHT Or FARMs
Virginia; Defense Council Urges I'm
mediate Action to Carry Out War

Virginia; Defense Council Urges I'm
mediate Action to Garry Out War
Policy.
Virginia's Council of Defense has
expressed the sentiments of the pee
pie of Virginia on the dilatory, hesl-
tating course of the congress IN
meeting the war situation. Believing
that such non-action had been pro-
ductive of feeling of distrust, un-
certainty and hesitancy, the council
by, a unanimous vote passed these re-
solutions and directed that they he
sent to. the President and to every
member of congress from this state:
"Whereas it is the conviction OF
this council that the country is facing
a :perilous crisis in a condition OF al
most complete unpreparedness, ana
whereas the congress of the United
States has delayed beyond reason the
-
enactment of laws necessary to put
the country in a<state of defense and
has disclosed an alarming division OF
opinion and vacillation of purpose;
therefore, be it
E'Resolved, That the Council of De-
fe nse of Virginia does now urge con-
gtess, to accept leadership and sup
port the President by forthwith en-
acting the laws which are. essential to
the safety of the nation; and resolved,
That the secretary be directed to CON-
municate this resolution to the Presl-
dent of the United States and Vir-
ginia's representatives in congress-
s'Fight or farm" will be the policy
of the Virginia Council of Defense
at no distant date. Search of the
statutes for authority to compel every
man in the state to get work, to pro-
duce, is now being made, and soon
there will be a recommendation which

wavering provisional government
would listen to, overtures- from the
Kaiser, the United States has ex-
tended $10O,OOO,0O0 credit to the
Russian government. This sum will
be expended in the United States

government to be payable in month
ly installments Of $7,5OO,0OO. The
credit will be available for the Bel

CUT THEIR OWN BREAD.
King Georges Household Avoids
Waste at Table.

King Georges fousenoia iAFo'os
Waste at Table.
Ottawa, May 17.-Guests at the
table of King George of England cut
their own bread and this is one way
in which the king avoids food waste
in his household, according to j. u
Hazen. who has returned from Eng
land with Premier Borden, of Canada.
With the premier, Mr.. Hazen sat at
the imperial war conference, and the
two were among guests who dined
with the English king.
Everybody in England has en-
ough to eat, but the country mas
come to realize that no food is to be
wasted at this time" Mr.. Hazen said.
"King George is joining with his
people in food economy. We were his
guests at Windsor castle, and found
that no wine, beer or spirits OF any
kind were now being used in the
kings household. The fare at the
table has been reduced to the utmost
simplicity, and waste is being avoid
ed. For instance, you cut your own
bread. There is the loaf and the
knife, and you cut what you want.
This is done to prevent waste.
No toast is allowed, because bread
once toasted cannot be used again.
