CHINESE VOTE AGA | N $ l
 CONFUC|AN|SM
(By Associated Press)

PEKING, March 1. - Efforts to make Confucianism the state religion of China have again failed Parlia- ment recently cast vote on the question of recognizing Confucianism as the official religion in the proposed new constitution, and the measure was lost by a vote of 264 to 255.
 Many politicians have refused to participate in the religious discussions in parliament, which have resulted in much bitter feeling. Three and half million Christian Chinese have stood behind the members of parliament who opposed the adoption of Confu cianism, and conducted a very effec tive campaign. The opposition of the Christians was that no religion should be recognized by the government, but that persons of all faiths should be permitted to practise their religion without government hindrance or sup port.

GERMANY UNABLE SUPPRESS ALL
 HOSTILE NEWS
(By Associated Press)

AMSTERDAM, March 1. The great success of Libre Belgique, the secretly circulated newspaper which has defied all attempts of the Ger man authorities at suppression, has led to the starting of numerous simi- lar enterprises all through the occu- pied regions of Belgium and France. Nobody pretends to know they are printed or how they manage to get into the hands of their readers. Yet several of them appear with fair re- gularity, and attain an amazingly wide circulation in spite of all the efforts of the German intelligence service.
 Most of these papers contain main ly news of local interest, combined with patriotic Belgian editorials and brief dgests of outside news obtained secretly from French, English and Dutch newspapers. The Libre Bel gique is still the best known of these secret newspapers, mainly because its publishers always managed to make a point of having copy put on the governors desk, although how this is done nobody seems to know.
 Then there is a Weekly Review, which has now reached it's fiftysev- enth number, and which devotes itself mainly to summarizing the contents of the leading French journals. The Motus is the Belgian Punch, a humor- ous and satirical publication, whose jokes are aimed largely at German of ficials in occupied Belgium. The Pat rie publishes news mainly from Dutch sources, and reproduces many car toons from the anti-German Dutch papers.
 There are also several so-called news agencies which distribute sheets of the news of the day to their sub scribers, or lend out copies of snug gled French and English newspapers.

LONDON, March l. - Because 20,- 900 soldiers wander about the streets of London every Sunday night with nowhere to go, the authorities have been prevailed upon to consent to al low a few theatres to be opened for their entertainment. The law requir- ing theatres to remain closed on Sun days is rigidly enforced in this coun- try, only moving picture houses, and those in limited number, being al. lowed to run. Now, however, some of the large theatres where regular performances are given on weekdays are to be permitted to remain open for the benefit of the fighting men.

must fill two roles-he must efficiently carry on his old function of produc- tion and at the same time must ac- quire added skill in commercial meth ods. It is unreasonable to expect that the average farmer will be uniformly successful in both roles. AS a matter of fact he is not and the result is that marketing has today become an acute problem. There are two means for the producer to aovercome his. difficulties. One is to permit private business men to care for his interests at a profit to themselves. The other is to join with his neighbors in building up a special ized branch Of his own industry devoted to buying, selling, and distributing

At the req1est Of many members of the Rotary club, before which it was delivered and because il is one of the most authoritative marketing and crop problem papers yet presented the address of James II. Collins, govern ment marketing expert stationed for the year in this valley, is reproduced today. Any farmer really interested in aiding his country in time of war can not help but be better fortified for this task by reading and studying this re- markable paper. It is as follows:

 The most serious drawback to Amer ican agriculture today is the lack of organization. During the past ten years farming has become less and less an occupation and more and more a business.

 Though 1t is difficult enough to imagine a German becoming gipsified, it is still greater tax upon the imagi- nation to visualize a Gerrnanized gipsy.
 Nobody knows with certainty how the gipsies originated. Ethnologists think they are descended from an ob- scure Hindu tribe. and there is linguist- ic evidence. in support of this theory. But there are other explanations which are by no means incredible, and after considering all of them. one is forced to the conclusion that nobody certainly knows how the gipsy came to be- Prob ably the mots prevalent of the merely popular theories is that these pictur- esque people came from Egypt, and it appears that the term "Gipsie" is corruption of Egyptian.
 In Rumania. according to the Britan- mica, the gipsies, who are mostly con- verts to the Orthodox Church, cling to their vagabond existence though their skill at handicraf.s finds them ready employement in the towns. During their centuries of slavery, they were organ iZed into castes, as musicians, metal workers. masons, etc; but after about 1850 the bands of caste were gradually relaxed and the gipses began to inter- marry with Rumanians'
 That the Rumanian gipsies have lit tie reason to hope for much considera- . tion from the Germans is indicated by the following quotation from Dr. Moses Casters article in the Britannica: The history of the legal status of the gip- sieS. of their treatment in various countries and of the penalties and in- flictions to which they have been sub jected. would form a remarkable chap ter in the history of modern civilization. The materials are slowly accommodating and # is inteerSting to note as one of the latest instances, that not further back than the year 1907 a drive was undertaken in Germany against the gipsies, which fact may account for the appearance of some of the German sipsies in England in that year, and that in 2904 the Prussian landtag adopted unanimously proposition to examine anew the question of granting peddling licenses to German gipsies,
