US. TO AID ALLIES
BY PRODUCING FOOD
Most Important Item of Help
Says VrO0man-Financ-
ing Comes Second.

Washington. March 2G.--Government
officials look upon the speeding up of
the foodstuffs production in the United
States as one of the most important
means of assisting in the war against
Germany, should the United States
take an active part.
"Of the most important two things
that this country could do for its allies
in case of war--namcly. to finance and
to feed them--perhaps the more I'M
pOrtant is to maintain n steady flow
of foodstuffs to their Shores" said an
authorized statement by Assistant
Secretary Nrooman Of the department
of agriculture. 1t looks. the statement
adds. as though it would be a good
business stride for the farmer this
spring to sow his normal oats acreage
to spring wheat and "it Is certain that
it would be a valuable step in the di-
reation of national agricultural pre-
paredness."
Still the policy of stimulating food
production would have TO be supple =
mcnted by a policy guaranteeing the
farmer against loss due to possible
over production and the department
holds that congress alone can deal
with this question effectively, although
the department can do considerable
toward speeding up production within
certain economic limits

GERMANY TO LET
-FOUR CONSULS co
Americans Will Go to Turkey
as Soon as COnstanti-
nople Agrees.

Washington, March 2G-Germany
has agreed to permit the four Amer
lean consuls held at Munich to pro-
ceed to their new posts in Turkey as
soon as the Constantinople government
formally agrees to receive them, vir-
tually assuring. officials here believe,
that difficulties placed in the way OF
Americans transfer out of Germany
soon will be cleared away. Turkey al
ready has indicated informally that
she will intcrposc no further obstacle
Ambassador willard at Madrid re-
ported today that the Spanish foreign
office had been assured by the German
leans were being held only until It was
certain that Turkey would accept them
The state department at once instruct
ed Ambassador Elkus at constanti-
nople to secure such assurances
Officials here were relieved at learn
| ing that the men are safe at Munich.
as no word had been received from
| them in two weeks. Pending further
controversy the Spanish government,
caring for American affairs in Berlin.
| has asked that the men be allowed to
! go to Switzerland.
In his message Ambassador Willard
said Germany had called attention to
the fact that as yet she had not heard
whether three German consuls trans
ferred from the United States had
reached their new posts in Mexico,
| guatemala and Costa Rica. As the
consuls have left this country, how
ever. officials feel that the United
States no longer has any concern for
| them.
Germany first stopped the four
| American counsuls at Munich because
| of delay experienced by German
Consul Mueller from Atlanta, Ga, in
leaving Havana for Ecuador. The
United States represented that it had
no jurisdiction over him in Havana
and that as a matter Of fact the only
cause for his delay had been lack of Il
vessel to take him to his destination
Turkey then requested that the Amer
leans be accredited in their new posts
under exeauatcrs recognizing the abo-
| lition of the usual extra territorial
| rights given foreign consuls in Turk
| ish territory, but when this was re-
fused ii was agreed that the point
would not be pressed. II Is expected
acceptable eXe1uaters now viii be
forthcoming shortly.
Four Now Left.
! Departure of the four consus will
leave virtually no native Americans in
Germany except the American sailors
believed to have been brought into
port on the raider Moewe.

OF the new house by the Democrats

he was in n position to say that enough

the Democrats to give the latter a ma :

There had been indications that the
Democratic leaders had received salts

dependents. Speaker Clark and other
spokesmen OF the party have pre-
dicted the outcome apparently with
complete confidence.
Democrats and Republicans go into

SOLDIERS THE BEST
st. Albans Man Depot Quarter
master.

l
Camp Bartlett, Westfeld, Mass,
Sept. l7.--Col. M. J. Healy, acting
commander Of the depot brigade OF
the 26th division, is preparing to re.
ceive the first draft Of recruits from
the National Army cantcnment al
Aver These will pave the way for
the coming later Of enough drafted
men to fill the regiments of the depot
brigade to their required strength.
The ranks of the First Vermont in
fantry have been reduced still further
by the transfer of more men to the
103rd Infantry. The latest draft on
the Vermonters took II men. Incl
dentally, the First Vermont had the
best physical percentage of any regi-
ment in camp in the recent medical
examinations. The First Vermont
lost the fewest men and the next in
line was the Maine heavy artillery.
Tremendous supply stores are being
accumulated in Westfeld. The arrival
of Maj Selden S. Watson, of the
quartermaster corps, who will act as
depot quartermaster at Westfield, has
strengthened the belief the first
drafts Of several hundred men may
be expected within the next three
days. The exact time of their coming
has not been announced nor is their
number known. With Major Watson,
who is Vermont man and former
member of the staff of Adjt.- Gen. Lee
S. Tillotson of that state, came Cap
tain Simmons, who will have charge
of the ordnance supplies.
In the depot brigade at Campt Bart
lett are the First Vermont Infantry,
the First New Hampshire Infantry,
the Eighth and Sixth Massachusetts
and First Maine Heavy Artillery. ALI
are far below their required war
strength. AS attached units are two
toHl DdiiitS VI VIC SISI-S-l tOl US IlpiH /
New Hampshire and Connecticut and
two troops of the Second cavalry.
In the four infantry commands
there are about 300 officers, non-com-
missioned officers and men available
as the unit around which these later
arrivals will be trained. The second
and many of the first
will be filled by gradu-
ates at the Plattsburg training camps.
The, anticipated coming of the Ma
tional Army recruits has put new life
ntothe Depot Brigade commanders.
They will be given material with
which to work, and as an added
step to the preparations, the First
Vermont Infantry has cleared large
lrea for parade ground purposes and
