Wilson Tells Soviet Congress We
Shall Use Every Opportunity to
Gust Germans.

Washington, March 12.-President
Wilson has sent the following cable
message to the all-Russian congress of
SovietS:
MAY / not take advantage of the
meeting of the congress of the soviets
to express the sincere sympathy which
the people of the United States feel
for the Russian people at this moment,
when the German power has been
thrust in to interrupt and turn back
the whole struggle for freedom and
substitute the wishes of Germany for
the purpose of the people of Russia?
although the government of the
United States is, unhappily, not now
in a position to render the direct and
effective aid it would wish to render,
beg to assure the people of Russia
through the congress that it will avail
itself of every opportunity to secure
for Russia once more complete SOW
ereignty and independence in her own
affairs and full restoration to her great
role in the life of Europe and the mod
ern world.
1.-THE whole heart of the people Of
the United States is with the people of
Russia in the attempt to free them
selves forever from autocratic govern
ment and become the masters of their
own life.

INCREASE IN WESTERN
CANADA ACREAGE
viii Prove a Big Factor in Win
ming the War.

Reports to hand indicate that West
ern Canada has a vastly increased
acreage ready for crop this year over
last year. The splendid open fall of
1917, gave better opportunity for fall
blowing than for some years. Work
in the fields was almost continuous
until the end of November. In fact, in
the neighborhood of Pincher Creek,
Alberta. there was sufficient mild
weather in January Of this year to
permit farmers to pillow, and many
took advantage Of it. A great many
Americans owning land in Canada
moved up last year, and this has also
helped to increase the acreage. They
came into possession of the land at
prices varying from $500 to $4,000
an acre, and with the proven yields
of wheat running from twenty and as
high as fifty bushels per acre, with q
set price of 1921 a bushel, they could
join production and patriotism to-
gether with a big margin Of profit.
The Post-Intelligencer Of Seattle,
WASH, gives very conservative state
ment of the agricultural development
and opportunities in Western Canada.
In it's issue of December IA, 1917, it
says
"Since the beginning Of the year
American emigration into Canada has
been greatly stimulated according to
the reports of the Dominion authori-
ties, and has been almost entirely made
up of farmers attracted by the fertile
and comparatively cheap wheat lands.
whatever may be said of wheat
culture as a profitable avocation in
ordinary years, since the beginning of
the war it has offered advantages
quite beyond the usual opportunities.
War has doomed the price of wheat
until the farmer now receives around
81 for his product at his granary.
Average crops, according to the adap-
tation of soil and climate are from
~ to % bushels to the acre. Even
the minimum crop, at 50 per bushel,
brings in these war times reasonable
profit. Before the war wheat culture
was fast being abandoned by farmers
who worked intelligently for results
on the right side of the ledger. It has
been the popular crop for new coun-
tries. but when the pioneers settled
down to business it was. generally
corn, hogs, cattle and diversified farm
ing that brought the profits. Iowa and
the Dakotas in turn, as their prairies
became settled, mortgaged the land on
wheat culture and afterwards paid off
the mortgages with corn and hogs.
"War is thus bringing temporary
encouragement to wheat farming.
Many Of the ranchers of Manitoba, Sas-
katchewan and Alberta laid away
$4,000 to $4,000 in the banks last fall.
1t may be pointed out, however, that
the growing of wheat is not the only
fnducement which is leading settle
ment to Canadian lands. Low taxation,
favorable agricultural climate and
profitable prices not only for grain but
for hogs, cattle and all forms of farm
produce all contribute their share
toward the rapid settlement of the fer
tile lands of Western Canada, Add

Senate Votes Unanimously to
Kill German Trade Here.
TO BE SOLD TO CITIZENS
Securities Owned by Teutons Who
Live in This Country Are Unaffect-
ed-House Expected to APP
prove Action.

Washington, March 12.-Legislation
authorizing the sale of all enemy prop
erty In this country, requested by the
alien property custodian, A. Mitchell
Palmer, to uproOt permanently Ger
man commercial influence, was APP
proved by the senate on Monday.
An amendment empowering the
president to acquire title to the Ger
man steamship companies docks and
wharves at Hoboken, N. j., also was
accepted.
The vote on the provision for the
sale of enemy property was unanimous.
"a to 0, and came after several hours
scathing denunciation of German kul-
tur and intrigues for world domina-
ton.
Residents Unaffected.
Enemy property within the meaning
of the law Is property owned in an
enemy country, and official assurances
have been given that there is no in
tention to interfere with the property
or money of Germans or Austrians liv-
ing in this country.
The purpose is to sever forever the
hold of Germans in Germany upon
vast commercial and Industrial enter
prises in the United States which have
been closely connected with the kais-
er's government, serving as outposts of
the Teutonic movement for world do
minion.
Under the trading with the enemy
act the alien property custodian takes
possession of and administers these
properties, but is without authority
to finally dispose of them. The new
legislation will empower him to place
them in American hands.
Prompt approval of both provisions
by the house is expected as soon as
the senate finally disposes of the 81
OOO,OO0000 urgent deficiency appropri-
alton bill, to which they are added.

Pierce Enemy's Line.

With the American Army in France,
March 12.-American troops, co-operat-
ing with the French, have carried out
three raids opposite the American sec
tor in Lorraine. Two of the raids were
executed simultaneously at night.
The Americans swept past the Ger
man first line and penetrated to the
enemy's second line 600 yards back.
The raids were carried out skillfully,
and but for the fact that the Germans
fed, more prisoners would have been
taken. American gas shells are be-
lieved to have caused many casualties
among the enemy. No Americans are
unaccOunted for.
