AMERICANS IN BRITAIN
FAVOR CONSCRIPTION
Members of Commons Enthusiastic
Over Idea of Sending United
States Force Into France.

LONDON. April 2S.-Amerioans
here Join with the British In tho hope
that the United States will raise its
army by conSctption. A canvass OF
scores OF prominent Americans hero
together with the vlews expressed In
the Hobbies OF the House Of Commons
developed this unity to-day.
Members Of Commons are enthusl-
astic over the idea that America send
an expeditionary force at as early "A
date as possible. under Roosevelt or
any other leader. but they expressed
warning that America benefit by
England's experience and avoid the
stripping OF tho nation OF trained
men needed TO organize and drill the
proposed big army.
I'VE welcome the proposal OF an
American expeditionary army" said
Gen. Page Croft. NJ. p. but we re-
alize II the United States builds up
a great army. trained soldiers will be
needed TO create the machinery,
Therefore we do not advocate press
Ing tho United States to send a strong
expeditionary force unless we are
convinced she has sufficient num-
Der OF professional soldiers to train
that army"

based on the number OF prisoners
taken and special Information OBJ
tained by the French STAFF. One hun
dred thousand men Is tho equivalent
Of seven German divisions as they are
now constituted. three regiments to
the division.
1t should be emphasized that the
figures listed above are for the French
drive alone. They do not include the
achievements Of the British offen-
sive.
But. aside from the cold fly
German losses, the Frencn have
achieved something more-it is an In
tangible result OF far more Import
ance. That IS a Generalization u the
German morale and proof OF the su-
perior strategy OF tho French stan.
While the German disaster Of the
past week has been tremendous, new
ertheless the weeks fighting is only
the first stage OF an entire action
planned by the French. The Aisne-
Champagne front comprises only one
portion OF the great Franco British
offensive. The offensive now extends
over at least 1875 miles. Every OPP
Grafton undertaken on the vast front

The French Commission, headed by
Minister OF Justice Vivinnl and Geu.
Joffre, whose arrival mas not yet been
announced by the Government, Is OF
less formal importance. The mission
OF the former French Premier and
his associates IL regarded as OF more
sentimental than Official character,
largely In the nature OF n courtesy

Try in allying itself with France In
the war for democracy.
The French emissaries may later be
authorized by the Paris Government
10 participate in the conference be-
tween the Anglo-American represen.
tatives, but up TO tho present time
ihe negotiations OF the extraordinary
convention between the United States
and the European Governments at
war with Germany have been In
trusted to the British representa- ives,
headed by Mr.. Balfour.

Washington and London that Mr.
Balfour brings with him n definite
programme subscribed to by all the

as call for American participation
and contribution to the common

THE CAR SITUATION.

The newspapers all over the coun-
try. are flooded with articles for
free publication along many lines
and subjects Of vital opportance to
be brought before the people. The
possible car shortage seems at
this time to be the vital problem
of much importance to the peo-
pie of this section, and in fact all
over the United States, among the
many suggestions to help relieve
this situation is the loading of all
cars to their fullest capacity, an in
crease of two tons per load would
bc The same as adding 900 new
cars to the supply available for
public use. A car loaded ten per
cent above marked capacity can,
be moved as fest as an empty car,
and does not take up any more room
in the yards.

PRUNE CROP BADLY DAMAGED.

The prune growers are being much
alarmed over the present situation
of the prunes becomming diseased
and falling to the ground. 1t seems
to be the opinion of some that it
is an insect or new desease that
has attacted the orchards, from
which we might expect a failure of
the prune industry in years to
come. 1t is our opinion after making
investigation of several orchards,
that tho heavy fall is due to eli
matte conditions, the extreme hot
weather, and perhaps the heavy
freeze last ysar which might have
caused week fruit spurs. The con-
dition is no different this year
from any other except it is much
more severe.
