SUDDEN FRENCH RAID

WITH THE BRITISH ARMY IN FRANCE, July 12, (By the Associated Press. Yesterday the British gained another strip west of Morris. At one point four Australians ventured across No Mans Land and by quick assault captured between thirty and forty pris- oners.
 A considerable body of British troops was sent forward to exploit the victory. The British line was pushed forward without much opposition and more than 15O prisoners with a num- Der of machine guns, had been captur- ed up to today.
 This morning the operations were still being continued at various points and one strong position was captured southwest of Morris. For some time the British in this sector have had complete control of No Mans Land and the Germans hardly have dared show their heads.
 The death of Maj. James B. McCud- den has cast a gloom over the British air service. McCudden, who had been credited with fifty-eight victories Was killed July 9 when something went wrong with his machine.

Government Labor
Survey Under Way
Farm Bureau Organization and County
Agents Want. Comprehensive Re-
port from Every Home in County.

A crop and labor survey of the
United States under the auspices of
the government of the United States
is being taken by the county agents
and secretaries of the farm bureaus
of the country and when it is finished
1t is hoped that the crop situation and
the labor situation in all parts of the
country will be thoroughly under
stood
Secretary w. F. Edwards, of the in
dustrial committee of the farm bureau,
and County Agent Donald Mclean are
both hard at work and hope to get
an accurate line on the condition in
this county They will have leaders
in every district and blanks will be
furnished to every farmer.
The number of persons operating
each farm, with its size, distance from
the postoffice and other information of
like general nature will be sought
The number of laborers hired last
year, the number hired this year up
to the present and whether the labor
ers are hired permanently or tempor-
arily are among the things to be ascer-
taihed. The number of persons in
each family over fourteen years of age
will also be ascertained
A complete summary OF the sort of
live stock on each farm is wanted
Also the kind of crops planted or to be
planted this year. The fruit yields
OF all sorts will be classified and the
amount OF grass and grain seed de-
sired and the amount for sale by each
farmer are also noted.
When the facts and estimates are in,
they will be carefully tabulated and a
map made. If a man is estimating
labor on a sort of crop which he has
not heretofore planted, and makes an
error, this can be corrected by ascer-
tanning the amount OF labor required
an the average, to produce the crop,
so that when analyzed it is believed
the report will be very complete.
The secretary of labor at Washing
ton is already engaged in mobilizing
labor with a view of distributing 1t
as equitably as possible and prevent
ing congestion in some places while
others are short. AS the reports col
lected will include the number of per-
SONS over fourteen in each family
capable of working. the data obtained
from this will be OF gret value, in the
opinion Of the department

Will Dehydrate Here
Meat Also Preserved
Unit of DehydratiOn Plant On the
Way to Twin Falls-Will Preserve
Meat, Fruit and Vegetables.

The TIMES of two weeks ago de-
scribed the process of making imper-
ishable, in greatly reduced bulk and
without loss of flavor, fruit and vege-
tables of all kinds by extracting
therefrom all "dehydrating"
the inventors call it. The following
from the Walla Walla, Washington,
Union, where the only plant in the
west is located, seems to indicate
a new and immense field of usefulness
for the process:
Experiments made by the Luther
manufacturing company in dehydrat-
ing meats have proved highly success
full and an entire new industry is
promised for Walla Walla. The exper-
iments followed an inquiry from the
war department as to whether the
Luther company was in a position to
take care of war contracts.
t'Mr. Luther and his experts spent
about one week in establishing the
fact that the Wa1la Walla plant can
produce an excellent product and one
that will solve the problem of forward
>lng to the soldiers in Europe vast
quantities of meat at minimum ton
age.
"'By a few changes in our plant we
will be enabled to dehydrate whole
carcasses,' Mr.. Luther said yesterday
afternoon while exhibiting some of the
product of his plant Under this pro-
cess great quantities of meat can be
packed in small containers for ship
ment to Europe, saving much in cargo
carrying space and insuring most
wholesome product. The government
is realizing the Importance of de-
hydrated products and is stimulating
production
Mr. Read, who was personally re-
ferred to as introducing the new pro
cess here, is still at the Rogersor

NORTH DAKOTA SENATOR
WANTS UNIVERSAL CON
SCRIPTION OF WORKERS
Union Labor Leaders
Are Called Bolsheviki

Yielding to Members of Labor
Unions.

(RObert B. Smith, Staff Correspondent
WASHINGTON, Feb. 25-With a
bitterness unsurpassed in the senate
Senator Porter j. McCumber, a Repub
lican of North Dakota, today condemn
ed what he termed 1.-The Bolshevik in
fuence'' in American labor organiza-
tons and with equal vehemence de-
nounced war profiteering of big busi-
ness as exemplified by the Hog Island
scandal
The senator came out frankly for
the cOnScriptiOn of labor. He urged the
prompt passage of a bill to draft all
male citizens over Is and under 62
years of age into a reserve army "for
service in transportation, ship building
production of munitions of war and
other war supplies as may be neces-
sary.'
Painting a pessimestic picture of the
present war situation, he warned the
nation that disaster impends and that
only the most heroic and united effort
on the part of all the American people
can avert it.
With bitter sarcasm the senator
criticised Secretary of War Bakers
statement that the prospects were
mot unpromising" for the sending OF
100000 American troops to France
during 1918 The transportation and
maintenance of such a number o.
troops would require 10000 tons Of
shipping, the senator declared. 1t is
up to America to construct no less
than fifteen million tons of new ship
ping for all purposes, he declared.
The senator began with a brief re
view of the conduct of the Russian
Bolshevilxi, whom he accused of "th'
most damnab1e treachery and tn
/blackest treason"
with this spectacle of national i'm
potency and disgrace before us, an'

ly its ultimate aims remained the
same-defense.
81 wish to emphasize that" said
Count Won Hertling, $50 that there will
not be any misunderstanding as to our
operations in the east"
Chancellor Won Hertling apparent
ly had his previously announced prin-
ciple of negotiation between govern
ments in mind when he declared that
the Alsace Lorraine question is not
an internal one.
1t was in this connection that he
charged England, France and Italy
with seeking conquests.
SAN FRANCISCO, Feb. 26.-That
the kaiser would gladly exchange AL
SAGE and Lorraine and all German
colonies for the Russian market is the
assertions of Mitchell Berg, secretary
of the Russian peoples economic mis-
sion to the United States, who is here
today in commenting on the drive into
Russia.
Germany is now seeking to buy
control of Russian industry by offer
ing a high rate for rubles," he declar-
ed. For the Russian market she
would willingly exchange her colonies
and Alsace-Lorraine. She wants to
provide machinery and control the
raw materials of Russia. But the
Russian people want to trade with
America not with Germany"
THE HAGUE, Feb. 26-Despite the
fact that Count Won Hertling, the Ger
man chancellor, told the reichstag
that he agreed fundamentally with
the four underlying peace principles
laid down by President Wilson or
February IL, the belief was expressed
in diplomatic circles today that the
chancellor's address would not make
a favorable impression in the allied
capitals.
The partial account of the speech
received at the time this telegram was
written indicated that allied states
men could find ample grounds fol
charges of insincerity against the
German chancellor.
Chief material for such an accusa
ton lies in the open war of aggres
sion against Russia, which Germany
is now waging-
Count Won Hertling complained tina
the European allied governments haC
not ye& formally indorsed Presiden
Wilson's four principles and then, in
stead of offering to free Belgium, al
the allies have demanded, suggested
that the Belgian government, which il
now established at Havre, France
make proposals to Berlin.
There was considerable ambiguit,
in parts of the address. In one sec
tion of it the chancellor tried t,
throw responsibility for continuation
of the conflict upon the entente sayini
J the allies knew the terms upol
which Germany would treat"
The attitude adopted by Count vol
Hertling toward England was ia
from conciliatory.
