PLAN TO SELL ALIEN PROPERTY
Senate Committee Approves DisposinJ
Of Teuton Holdings In U. S.

Neutrality-suspicious. to break up the
sast holdings of German interests In
the United States and place then. In
other hands, so that after the war
they cannot continue to be what have
been characterized as "outposts of Ger.
man kultur in America" were present
ed to congress by A. Mitchell Palmer
the alien property custodian, and
unanimously approved by the senate
appropriations committee.
Mr. Palmer asked and the COMMITTEES
agreed, that legislation should be at
tached to the urgent deficiency bill
empowering him to sell these proper
ties to any private interests-but not
TO the United States government, the
proceeds to be held in the treasury
until after the war. Whether the Ger
man owners will receive the money
would be determined by the peace
terms.
American property in Germany. the
committee was told, is subject to such
action.
The value OF German property sub
ject to such disposition would run
into the hundreds OF millions.

STATE BUYS 1000 TRACTORS
Big Deal Involves Nearly a Million
DolIars-Bieeer Acreage is Aim.

Lansing-At a meeting with Henry
Ford, members of the state war board
entered into contract for 1000
"Fordson" farm tractors at $3.50 each.
I. o. b. Detroit. This will make the
price of the machine which the war
board, through it's county organization,
delivers to the farmer. about $765.
An accompanying deal by the war
board is for "plow bottoms" These are
the most important implement used in
connection with the tractors. The
pillow bottom to be bought is two
ploughshares fabricated together so as
to plough two burrows % inches wide
and eight inches deep.
The magnitude of the deal while in
financial figures reaching close to a
million dollars, is tremendous from
the standpoint of big acreage. The
Fordson tractors, according to the
makers, will pillow an acre an hour.
With 1000 tractors busy in the state
this would mean 10000 acres an hour,
or 100000 acres a day of 10 hours.
But, as State Treasurer Odell put 1t
to Mr. Ford, the tractors could be OPP
Grated longer than 10 hours day and
the acreage plowed could rapidly
mount into tn millions.

BOLSHEvIK RULE THREATENED
Revolutionists Seek to Overthrow
ernment-Trotzky Quits.

London-Coincident with the an
nouncement that Leon Trotzky, boil
shevik foreign minister, has resigned.
come reports of a movement by the
Russian social revolutionaries to over
throw the bolshevik regime, and of ac-
ton by other anti-bolshevik forces
looking toward the restoration of pop.
ular government in Siberia.
Conclusion of peace between Russia
and Rumania is announced in a wire
less dispatch from the boshevik gov
eminent in Petrograd.
To Trotzky, who brought about the
armistice on the eastern front which
resulted in the enforced peace in Rus
STA. probably more than to any other
bolshevik leader, is due the present
situation in Great Russia.
He was said to have cast the de-
Gliding vote on the question whether to
send delegates to Brest-Litovsk fort
night ago. Germany in her ruthless
demands shattered his program of
self-determination and non-resistance.

QUIT PUBLICATION
OF CASUALTY LISTS
WAR DEPARTMENT DECIDES TO
WITHHOLD PUBLICATION OF
LOSSES AT FRONT.
SAY INFORMATION AIDS ENEMY
Nearest Relative of Every Soldier
Killed Or Wounded to Receive
Notice AS Heretofore.

ashington-Issuance of daily lists
of casualties among the expeditionary
forces abroad was discontinued March
8, by the public information committee,
as the result of an order of the war de-
partment, under which names of next
to kin and emergency addresses of
soldiers, whose names appear on the
lists, hereafter will be withheld.
The official explanation is that the
purpose OF the order is to keep infor-
nation Of value from the enemy.
On being informed of the order, the
committee took the position that long
lists of men killed or wounded would
be worthless to the newspaper CORE
spondents without addresses, and a
notice was issued advising the press
that in future all information regard
ing casualties must be obtained
from the war department.
AT the adjutant-generals Office it
was stated the lists without addresses
would continue to be sent to the COM
mittee and would be available there
While the disagreement between the
committee and the department prob
ably will be Strengthened out soon, so
that "expurgated" lists may be made
available to all who desire them, the
purpose of the department to withhold
the addresses apparently is unalter-
able.
The nearest relative of every sol
der killed or wounded, will be notified
by the department as heretofore Lists,
containing simply the names of the
soldiers under the heading KILLED in
action" died of disease" will be sent
each day to the committee on public
information.
To give out the lists in this shape,
according to officials of the committee
would bring each day a food of re-
quests by telephone, telegraph and
mail, for specific Identification of each
man named in the list of the previous
day.

SECRETARY BAKER
ARRIVES IN FRANCE
AMERICAN WAR CHIEF REPORTED
SAFE IN PARASITE CONFER
WITH ALLIED LEADERS.
VISIT is PURELY MILITARY
Washington Says Trip Is Largely
For Purpose Of Inspection,
Not Diplomatic.

Washington-Upon hearing of Sec
retary Bakers safe arrival in France
through a press dispatch from Paris,
the war department on March 10, an
nounced the secretary's visit is purely
military and not diplomatic, and is
for purposes of inspection and per-
sonal conferences with military Off
Gals.
The department issued this state
ment:
"a cable dispatch from Paris to the
Associated Press Sunday night an
nounced the arrival at a French port
of the secretary of war.
For some time Secretary Baker
has desired to visit headquarters of
the American expeditionary forces. He
sailed from an American port about
February 81.
Secretary Baker has not determined
the length of time he will remain in
France, but his stay will be long
enough to enable him to make a thor
ough inspection of American forces
abroad and to hold important confer
ences with American military officers.
at is expected not only will Secre-
tary Baker visit American headquar-
ters, but his inspection tour will cover
construction projects, including docks,
railroads and ordnance bases, now un-
der way back of the American lines.
'The secretary's visit is military
and not diplomatic. 1t is essentially
for the purposes of inspection and per-
sonal conference with military Off
cials. The secretary is accompanied
by Major-General w. NJ. Black, Lieu
tenant-Colonel Brett and Ralph Hayes,
private secretary to Mr.. Baker"
1t is regarded as probable the Sec
rotary will take the opportunity to in
vestigate conditions in the field. Mr.
Baker is the first member of President
Wilson's cabinet to go to the battle
zone.
Out of his conferences, not only
with General Pershing, but with lead
ers of the French and British govern
ments as we'll, will come direct infor-
nation for the president as to what is
Transporting in the Allied countries to
aid him in shaping his future course

Matching Chickens by Electricity.

There is always a certain element
of risk In Matching chickens in an in
cubator, for unless the incubator Is
watched very carefully the tempera-
ture may get too low and the eggs
spoil.
Electricity may be depended upon
more than any other form of heat. A
new incubator has been perfected
which is heated by electricity. The
incubator may be attached to any
electric light socket. The distribu-
ton of heat I'm the egg chamber is al
ways very even and there is a well
come absence of gases and fumes.
The electric incubator is provided
with glass globe so the chicken fan
cier may see just what is going on in
side the incubator. The heat is given
by an electric light which is so regu-
lated that II gives the required heat
internationally. The thermometer is
provided.
