General March, in Telling
of Advance, Deplores
False Truce Report
Army Work Delayed.
2 Days in New York
Seven More Corps Com

Captures Cripple Huns

WASHINGTON, Nov. 9.--The Ameri-
can First Army, under General Per-
shing, has advanced thirty miles in the
last eight days, General March said to.
day.
General March charaeteriz the pub
lication of the erroneous announcement
Of the armistice as very bad for the
military programme of the United
States" For instance, he said, in New
York ne stevedores who were engaged
n loading very essential supplies for
the expeditionary forces stopped work
and did not return at all On that day or
lhe next day. and army food Shipments
were thus delayed.
In commeH ting on this incident, the
chief OF staff made the statement that
the American army will be in France
for some time, even when peace 1s de-
clared.
The reorganization Of the American
expeditonary forces into two field
in corps commanders. These include
the following:
First Corps, Major General Joseph
Dickman; Second Corps, Major General
George w. Reed; Third Corps, Major
General l.. j. Hines; Fourth Corps,
Major General Charles II. Muir; Fifth
Corps, Major General G. T. Summeral;
Sixth Corps, Major General William M
Wright; Seventh Corps, Major General
Charles II. Menoher.
The capture Of Maubege by the Brit
ish, General March said, marks the
definite severance of the last German
artery to that sector of the West front
and will make it impossible for the
enemy to shift his forces to meet new
attack.
-. Summarizing the Allied successes
since the Inauguration of the forward
movement, General March pointed out
that the Germans have been driven
ty-four miles further from Paris and
the territory they occupy in France has
been reduced from 10000 square miles
TO less than $500

the British in Flanders were identified

Meuse from Sassev to Waldelincourt
the night was marked by artillery
and machine gun fighting.
Nov. (Evening) This afternoon
French and American units operating
under the command of the 1st Am

his last hold on theh eigbts east Of
the Meuse, memorable as the scene
of the great battle of Verdun in 1916,
and drove him back into the lowlands

and other towns and villages.
Along the line of the Meuse, from
Villefr.. nche to Wadelincourt, lively
artillery and machine gun combats
have taken place during the day.
Six additional guns of heavy calihre,
many more machine guns, 1000 rifles
and large airplane workshop, capt

for home consumption, and Of these
two Russia can hardly be expected to
contribute much The eyes of the
world are focused upon the American
farmer, just as the Hon. David A.
Houston, secretary of agriculture, so
forcibly stated when he said recently ::
"There must be no breakdown on the
farn-no failure of foods, foodstuffs
and clothing. The duty is pressing of
furnishing abundant supplies for our
own people and in large measure for
the peoples with whom we are associ-
ating."
The Farm Labor Problem Severe.
There has always existed a farm
probiem-that of evenly distributing
labor throughout the year, both of
man and team-which today is greatly
enhanced by the severe and universal
shortage of labor 1t is not customary
for the farmer to work as hard in win
ter as in summer, nor is it possible,
because the days are shorter, and
again it is not altogether natural-it
is his rest period, such as he is able
to have-yet in the present emergency
Ill are required to exert their greatest
efforts to avoid defeat and suffering.
Lining soils is essential to crop pro-
duction, and fortunately it may be
done in winter, though it is not Gus
tomary practice nor always advisable.
Yet under the circumstances it is one

have emphasized the Importance of
farmers ordering their lime in the win
ter because of difficulties of getting
cars in the spring; also they then have
more time for such work We also
recommend In our regular wogk the
practice of applying lime in the winter
any time when the ground is essential
ly bare of snow. While we prefer
that it be applied to land that is to be
plowed or to be given cultivation be-
fore the crop is planted, we do not
object to man applying it to a crop
already established, but with the I'M
Outstanding that his immediate bene-
fits are not likely to be as large as

Concentrated Hydrated Lime Saves
Labor.
Considering these statements of the
leading agriculturists, in view of the
fact that a high percentage (approd-
mately 50 per cent? of the soils east
of the Mississippi river are sour and
badly in need of lime and that the
shortage of labor and transportation
facilities is severe, the farmer should
not hesitate to secure a liberal sup
ply of lime now for immediate appl-
cation and home storage. AS an Off
cial of the U. S. department of agricul-
ture recently expressed it: "The farm
err should buy the most concentrated

cumbers, but for such crops as beets
and potatoes lime usually should be
applied on the crops preceding those
mentioned We are advising farmers
to secure the lime at the earliest date
possible on account of the difficulty in
transportation and labor"
DR.. H. ]. Patterson, director of the
Maryland Experiment Station, says:
1--WE have gotten very good results
by applying lime during the winter as
a top dressing on wheat and fall seed
ed grasses. We do not advise this as
being the best method of applying
lime, but lime applied in this way has
proven beneficial both to the grain and
grass which follows the wheat"
DIR. Jacob G. Lipman, soil chemist,
dean and director of the New Jersey
Agricultural Experiment Station, says /:
1.-THE wisdom of purchasing and
spreading lime in the fall and winter
are entirely proper At this particu-
lar time, when farm labor is costly
and scant as to supply, the conserva-
ton of the efforts Of the farmer should
be urged in every possible way. In
deed, 1t has been our practice for
some time past to advise farmers in
New Jersey not to leave certain of
the farm work that may be done in
the winter until early spring"

soils, Cornell University and College
of Agriculture, Ithaca, y. Y, says

Virginia Truck Experiment Station,

for the farmer to purchase lime dur
