Given Hearty Support.
This plan is meeting with hearty
support from women and boys thru
the medium OF training camps. Tho
department specialists hope to dirccr
women and boys in the particular
classes of work they can be of great
est service. There are certain activ-
ties on the farm which can be en-
gagged In effectively by men alone:
It is believed, however. that reduced
number of men will be ample to han
die the heavier part of farm work II
women and boys relieve them of the
less strenuous which the men have
been in the habit or performing.
Delegations from various asricultu-
raj sections are coming TO Washlrng
ton with requests for furloughs, to be
allowed farmers In camps which
would permit OF their lendidg aid dur
ing 1918 in putting in and harvesting
of the crops. One delegation sus-
gested to the secretary OF war that
only those of the more apt soldiers

for service in Europe. The more apt,

PIE of weeks away from training ana
Sill not get behind with their mill

Sympathy Lacking.
sympathy with such plan. how
ever. is almost entirely lacking at the
war department. There every erfort
Is being concentrated on making SOL

thing which interferes with even n
Gays absence from drill and other IN
structions Is viewed with disfavor.
The nation has taken upon Itself to
train an army of half a million men
ir half the time always before found
necessary The accomplishment OF
this feat means that every hour must
be improved and in view of manner
in which the agricultural industry was
carried forward in 1917 1t is believed
that there will be need 10 slow up

PRESIDENT IS CONSIDERING
 BREAKING ANOTHER PRECEDENT May Not Call Special Session of Sem
 ate immediately After Inauguration.

Washington. Feb. 20. - President
 Wilson is considering breaking an- other precedent of more than a hun dred years standing by not calling the customary special session of the sen ate immediately at the beginning of his new term.
 Inauguration arrangements, already much upset by the fact that March 4 falls on a. Sunday, may be further dis arranged by the abandonment of the special session, which in a measure would change entirely the methods and ceremonies of inaugurating the vice president.
 The presidents purpose. as under stood at the capitol, is to avoid a spe- cial session of the senate unless an extraordinary session of the whole congress is necessary at the same time. The senate called in special session, as is the custom, to confirm appoint ments of cabinet members and others would be powerless to legislate to any purpose alone, but could remain in session as long as it pleased, discuss- ing any subject it chose. The under standing at the capitol today was that such a situation was to be avoided, if possible.

HOUSE VOTES TODAY ON
 PROHIBITION AMENDMENT
Forbidding Shipment of Liquor Into
 Prohibition States. |

Washington, Feb. 20.-The senate measure forbidding shipment of liquor into prohibition states, even where state laws authorize such shipments for personal use. will come to a vote in the house tomorrow with both wet and dry advocates divided among themselves as to the expediency of it's passage.
 Those favoring the provision which was written into the annual postal ap- propriation bill by the senate, declare 1t will pass with votes to spare. Some prohibition advocates will not support it, however, because they believe so drastic a measure would be difficult of enforcement and would react seri- ously against the prohibition move ment. For the same reason, some representatives who have lined up heretofore against prohibition are ex- pected to vote in favor of the senate's proposal.
 How extensive these defections will be, or whether they will upset the normal prohibition maority in the house, was not apparent tonight and house leaders professed to be in the dark as to the outcome.
 In addition to making ''bone dry" about a score of states which now for bid the manufacture or sale of liquor but permit it's importation for per sonal use, the senate amendment would bar liquor advertisements from the mails in states where such adver- Using is prohibited

NEW HAVEN ROAD TO SELL
 ALL NoN- RAILROAD PROPERTY
Massachusetts Legislative Committee
 on Railroads So Informed.

Boston, Feb. 20.-Frederick J. Mac Leod, chairman of the public service commission, told the legislative com mittee on railroads today that the commission and the New York, New Haven and Hartford railroad had agreed upon a bill which would require the company to divest itself of all it's non-railroad property. The proposed bill, which is slight modification of the one suggested in the annual report of the commission, and on which the hearing was held, provides for a dis solution of the New England Naviga- ton company and the absorption of it's railroad property by the New Haven. Provision is also mare for the sale of the Rutland railroad, d,anow controlled by the New Haven; within five years after the bills passa ge.
 Commissioner Joseph B. Eastman said the enactment of the measure would compel the New Haven to return to the business of conducting a rail- road. He said that the company had engaged in activities which are not essentially railroad matters. The ef- feet, he added, has been to place cloud on the validity of it's securities, the price of which has been much re- duced. NIT. Eastman argued that the passage of the bill would remove the cloud and enable the road to sell it's securities, particularly it's bonds, at prices which would permit it to make improvements of which it is so much in need.

REQUEST SAFE PASSAGE FOR AMERICAN NAVAL VESSELS To Bring Out American Refugees Now
 at Beirut.

Washington, Feb. Ambassador Elkus at Constantinople was instruct ed by the state department to ask that the Ottoman government take up in- formally with Germany the question of guaranteeing safe passage of the American naval vessels Caesar and Des Moines, delayed at Alexandria en route to Beirut, to bring out American refugees and discharge relief supplies for Armenian and Syrian war suffer CTS.
 The ships were halted at Alexandria pending arrangements for their voy- age through the waters barred by the German submarine proclamation. Be- cause of the strained relations be- tween the United States and Germany and the fact that a direct request would be tantamount to a recognition of the submarine blockade against neuetral shipping, the state department decided to request the Turkish authori- ties to make the arrangement.
