General Semenoff Forced to Retreat
Into Manchuria.

Harbin, March 13.-General Seme-
noff, the anti-bOlshevik leader in ST.
IBERIA, has retreated into Manchuria
before the advance of superior bOl-
shevik force, according to advices from
the border. The accuracy of the boil
shevik fire during the fighting is taken
to indicate the cooperation of former
German prisoners. Officials of the al
lies at Harbin agree that the situation
in Siberia is growing worse. Reliable
observers have found that there is a
widespread pro-German propaganda,
with speechmaking by bolshevik ora
tors, among the workmen, with never
a word of a prO-ally nature. The
growth of bOlshevikism is said to be
due in a measure to fear of the Jap
anese, with disbelief in the sincerity
of American friendship as another
factor.

ARE SPEEDING TROOPS
TO POINTS "OVER THERE"
FARMERS CAN GET
PLENTY OF LABOR
FOR SPRING WORK
Make Your Wants Known To Amy One
of the Various Men Appointed To
Receive Applications For
Farm Positions.

Farmers in some sections of the
county are complaining-an without
just cause-of a scarcity of farm la
Dor.
The fact is that the labor commit
tee has been able to fill all applca-
tiOns for help that have been filed
with the committee, and that when
Chairman John Porter of Cambridge
made his last report to the county
council he still had SO applications
for positions.
These applicants ranged from boys
of from ID to 20 years Of age, most of
them with some farm experience, who
can be secured at from $40 to $50 per
month, to single men with and with
out experience who ask wages rang
ing from $25 to $40 per month and a
few married men, a number of whom
have since been placed at $40 per
month and up, plus extras.
There will be plenty of boys to work
on farms, and these boys will be avail
able by April Is if desired. They have
training on farms to some extent at
least. Those who are city boys have
been taken onto the farms for Satur-
day training all winter They will
prove valuable help with but little
more training.
The real problem, then, is to get the
farmers to put in their applications,
and put them in early. 1t is desired to
place the boys of the county on the
farms Of the county and not send
them out, and later have to get boys
from other counties to work on JEFF
fersOn county farms.
While there has been no shortage of
experienced help as yet, no promises
can be made for the future.
When Mr.. Porter was in Milwaukee a
short time ago, he could have hired
$50 men through the state employ
ment agency and in other ways if he
could have placed them. That this
condition will continue cannot be
guaranteed, of course, so it is import
ant that farmers make their applica-
tions at once whether they need the
help at this time or at later date
Make your application to any mem
bers Of the committee, which is made
up Of the following men:

BILE, Says Gen. March-Huae
Supply of War Material
Ready.

Washington, March 13.-New orders
have gone forth to speed the sending
Of troops to France.
In consequence the drafted men are
to be dispatched to Europe as fast as
ships are available.
Seven Generals Relieved.
Sweeping changes in the command
ing personnel of the American army
were foreshadowed when seven gen.
eral officers were relieved Of field
commands and assigned to home duty.
The shakeup is a result Of the de-
mand of General Pershing that only
commanders physically fit be sent
abroad.
The officers affected are:
Maj. Gen. Thomas Fl. Barry, relieved
from command Eighty-sixth division,
Camp Grant, H., and assigned to COM
mand central department, Chicago, re-
lieving Maj. Gen. w. II. Carter, re-
tired.
Maj. Gen. Edward II. Plummer, to
brigadier general relieved from COM
man Eighty-eighth division, Camp
Dodge, La.
Maj. Gen. Richard w. Blatchford
to brigadier general, commanding de-
partment of Panama.
Maj. Gen. Edwin st. j. Greble, to
brigadier general, and relieved Of
command Thirty-sixth division, Camp
Bowie, Tex.
Maj. Gen. Charles G. Morton, re-
Heved from command Twenty-ninth
division, Camp Mcclellan, Ala.

dier general, relieved of command
Thirty-eighth division, Camp Shelby,
Miss.
Maj. Gen. William A. Mann, to briga-
dier general, commanding Eastern de-
partment, New York.
The reductions in grade were made
because all except Barry and Morton
| were holding their higher grades only
| for the period of the war on assign
ment to the National army.
Ali general officers abroad, includ-
| ing Maj. Gen. Leonard Wood, 1t was
indicated, also must pass a rigid
| physical test.
National army commands were the
| first affected, because of orders to
rush the draft divisions to France.
| Allies Appeal for Troops.
The orders to speed up are reported
| to have resulted from fresh appeals
| of the allies for more American forces
| to help withstand the expected Ger
man offensives.
France, particularly, is said to have
| renewed her urgngs.
"The whole movement across" said
General March, as being speeded as
! rapidly as possible"
| simultaneously with the shakeup
and orders to speed up transportation
came cheering news that all records
in preparations are to be smashed.
From the shipping board and diplo-
matte sources came assurances the
transportation situation Is rapidly
| clearing.
Food, clothing, shells and guns are
beginning to pile up In prodigous
| amounts.
All records In training men have
been broken The draft army, after
six months, is as well trained as 1t
can be on this side Of the Atlantic.

HIGHEST PRAISE FOR NAVY
House Committee Says Work Presents
Remarkable Achievement.

Remarkable Achievement.
Washington, March 13.-The direc-
ton and activities of the navy In the
war drew the highest praise from the
house naval affairs committee which
recently completed an Investigation.
The navy's work for the II months
past, it was declared, presents rec
ord of remarkable achievement. Testi-
mony was given at the hearings by
Secretary Daniels, heads of all tho
navy bureaus, and other officials. In
its report the committee took occa-
sion to laud the marine corps and de-
clared there are today no better forces
in France. The readiness of the Allan
tic fleet for action at the outbreak OF
war, the report says, was due largely
to the efficiency Of the bureau Of op-
erations under Admiral Benson. Prais-
ing the navy's bureau of supplies, the
report said that under its chief, Rear
Admiral Samuel MCGOWAN, the bureau
"has established a nationwide repu-
tation for business efficiency" The
report said that 100000 men and ], 100
ships now are just as promptly and
we'll provided for as $500 men and
800 ships had been before the war.

BAKER ESCAPES BOMB
Secretary Assai|s Attacks on
Women and Children.
Hotel Owner Forces Cabinet Member
to Take Refuge in Wine Cellar
During Raid on Paris.

Paris, March 13.-Newton D. Baker,
the American secretary of war, on
Monday met a number of American,
English and French newspaper men
and gave out the following statement
concerning his visit to France:
Our purpose in visiting France is
to confer with General Pershing, to
visit the American eXpeditionary
force and inspect its line of trans
portation and its storage and supply
systems in order that we in America
can more effectively support our own
army and the armies Of our allies.
Civil power must bring up the sup
plies of organized industrial resources
and support its armies. In America
now the dominant thought in ali
minds is war.
Our president has nobIy phrased
the spirit in which America entered
the war, and his subsequent declara-
tions reflect the feeling Of the entire
country that we are committed with
all our resources to the winning of the
war"
Secretary Baker plunged into his
work soon after his arrival, making
morning calls on Premier CIemenceau
and Ambassador Sharp. General
PerShing accompanied him. The sec.
retary was received by President Poin-
care
Marshal Joffre called on Secretary
10
turned the call at the marshal's head
quarters.
Secretary Baker was in conference
with Gen. Tasker II. Bliss, the Ameri-
can chief of staff, in a hotel suite when
the air alarm was sounded on Monday
night. Secretary Baker was not per-
turbed by the noise of the firemen's
sirens or the barlage of the antiair-
craft guns, but the hotel management,
fearing for the safety of the secretary
and his party, persuaded them to de-
scend to place of shelter in the wine
cellar.
Mr.. Baker and General Bliss con-
tinued their conference in the cellar
Later they were joined by Mai. Gen.
William NJ. Black.
Mr.. Baker went to Versailles for an
other conference with General Bliss.
Mr.. Bakers party will leave for the
French seaport town, from which a
trip of inspection will be made along
the lines of communication to the
American headquarters.
Secretary Baker made the following
statement concerning Monday nights
air raid on Paris:
''It was my first experience of the
actualities of war and a revelation of
the methods inaugurated by an
enemy who wages the same war
against women and children as
against soldiers.
eff his objects are to damage prop
erty, the results are trifing when
compared with his efforts. If his OBJ
jects are to weaken the peoples
morale the reply is given by the SUI
perb conduct of the people of Paris.
Moreover, aerial raids on towns
which are a counterpart of the pitiless
submarine war and the attacks against
American rights, are the very eXplana-
ton of the reason why America en-
tered the war We are sending our
soldiers to Europe to fight until the
world is delivered from these horrors -

s76O,OOO,OOO FOR WAR WORK
Senate Passes Bill After Reed AssaiIs
Hoover.

Washington, March 13-Another
''huge millionaire bill went over the
top in the senate. It totaled $3.50 OOO,-
900 and was for urgent deficiencies in
government work.
Senator Reed of Missouri concen-
trated a hot fire upon an appropria-
ton Of S1,750,00O for the food admin
iStration. He said:
''The food administration has had no
less than $S,000,O00 since last August.
1t has Sl,250,0O0 still unexpended It
will receive S1,121, ,14l from accounts
It's going some to ask for $1.75O, ,OOO.''
Immediately he followed this with
the assertion that the wheat corpOr-
alton of the food administration would
collect $12,O0O,OO0 from American
farmers.
Senator Reed spoke for almost three
hours. After Underwood of Alabama
replied and defended the action of the
appropriations committee in giving
the sum the senate passed the bill
with no dissenting voice.
