Washington. April 3e-The senate
late today unanimously passed a joinr
resolution sought by the adnliftstra-
ton, which provides for the seizure
and use of all the seaworthv German
and Austrian vessels interned in
American harbors
The resolution was introduced this
afternoon by Senator Culberson, OF
Texas. chairman of the judiciary com
mittee. II has been preceded nv 4
resolution OF similar purport intro
duced by Senator Knox. Of Pennsyl-
wanna In order to avoid the possible
public disclosure of naval or military
plans which the ship seizures might
involve, the debate was held in ex-
ecutive session. The measure as
originally introduced contained pro-
visions assuring the settlement of all
claims OF American. ally or neutral
ownership of the ships. or OF Ameri-
can. ally or neutral owners Of shares
III the corporations owning the ships
These sections were condemned by
Senator Lodge. who directed the at
tention of the senate to the fact that
existing statutory law provided the
protection of neutral of Ameri-
can owners. and that recourse
of such owners, in the event of such
seizure, was provided by federal stat
ute. The sections of the bill insuring
the right of firms corporations or
individuals TO sue the United States
for compensation for loss or damage
in the course Of the federal wartime
use Of the ships was stricken out OF
the resolution by -pata eft -tf,-1a
and sections specifying the manner OF
the institution of such suits followed

vote. There was no roll call neces-
sary for final passage
The resolution will be reported to
the house al once. and its speedy pas
sage in that body is certain.
Reply to German Boast.
In speaking for his own resom-
ton. Senator Knox said today:
I'VE read in the morning papers

chancellor in the reichstag that the
German submarines have sunk 1900
600 tons of allied and neutral ship

A BANNER YEAR

A banner year is predicted for
farmers. A food shortage exists
over practically the whole world.
It is also claimed that the present
high prices of food is owing to a
shortage of staple articles. 1t fol-
lows then that the United States
will lean heavily this year upon the
great Northwest for agricultural
products.
Many millions of men have been
withdrawn from agricultural pur-
suits and it matters not what the
size of the 1917 crops may be in
this country, there will lie a world
demand for them, and at highly re-
munerative prices. This is no pre-.
diction, but certainty.
This is the golden opportunity
for the farmer and he is advised tt
work as he never worked before fol
a substantial reward is in store fol
him. Utilize the land to the best
possible advantage. All kinds Of
crops will pay handsomely. MAKE

benefits so justly your due.

FRIENDLESS MEN

The Parole Board of the State
penitentiary was in the limelight
three days last week. The men,
bers of the Board listened atten-
lively to the stories of prisoners
who have ruthlessly been chucked
into the "pen" by plutocratic
judges whose sense of the fitness Of
things was entirely lacking. These
men. according to their own stories,
were harmless indigents who lived
off generous public and now were
sorry that they were in prison. Lis
ten to the following pitiful tale:
MAX Russell, who was received
at the penitentiary October a, 1914,
to serve from one to five years for
burglary, told the board that he
had been hungry, out Of work and
out of money. Being in grocery
store and seeing that no one was
watching him, he had taken some
thing to eat and had gone outside
and sat down by the store to eat it. "
That villianous judge deserves
Impeachment for malfeasance in
office. 1t is needless to say that
the parole board recommended Rus
sells pardon. Why a learned judge
should sentence man from one to
five years for swiping a lunch worth
ten or fifteen cents is hard to I'M
derstand.
This visit of the Parole Board re-
suited in recommendations for four
pardons, six paroles and the dis
charge of IA men who have been on
parole. The paroles and discharges
become effective at once but the
pardons must come before the par
don board whose membership is the
same as that of the parole board.
What could be more farcical?
