GALL|POL| IS
COMMUNICATED
-W.S.S.--
(By Associated Press

London, May 29.-The third ami
versary of the Australian landing at
Gallipoli was observed throughout
England in every camp and city where
there are Australian soldiers. At
Westminster ctehdral in London the
high commissioners of Australia and
New Zealand and many officers and
men attended special memorial serv-
ice, and similar services were held
in many churches in various parts o.
England.
The special feature of the days
observance, however, was a series of
pilgrimages made to the graves of
1900 Australian soldiers who have
been buried in England end Scotland
since the war began. Parties of Au-
stralans visited cemeteries from
Plymouth to Dundee where Anzac
soldiers lie, and laid wreaths and flow
ers on the graves. Arrangements
have been made for the placing OF

ored graves.

BRITISH GARDENS
BEHIND THE LINES
(By Associated Press

London, April IA (By mail)-Seri-
ous loss resulting from the great
battle in France is the ruin of great
areas of land behind the old British
lines, which were under cultivation by
the army. The British and French
Food Production departments we've
carrying out on a large scale scheme
for growing vegetables behind the
lines for the use of the soldiers.
The last official figure of the land
cultivated in this way in the zone of
the rBitish army was $4,000 acres,
although in recent months the figure
has been much increased. A great
deal of new work had been done in
the neighborhood of Peronne, and al
Ham, Epehy and near Chauny. All
this land had been ploughed with
American tractor ploughs and a great
deal Of it planted with potatoes.
Another work which has been lost
is that begun by the Quakers to sue
cor the victims of the war in the ter,
ritories won back from the Germans
a year ago. The Quakers had large
farm near Ham which was their gen.
eral headquarters, from which they
were sending out automobile tractors
to plow land, were helping the re-
turned peasants 10 restore their mar
ket gardens, and were providing then
with goats to replace the cattle tax
en- ythe enemy. This work will
probably have to be abandoned unit
the war ends.

A Newton resident, out for a be-
fore-breakfast stroll, was passing
a thoroughfare bordering the rear OF
some attractive residences when his
attention was diverted by CONVEX
sation between two laborers in an
adjacent "war garden" They were
contemplating glistening lines of po-
tatoes which they had been digging.
This is going to be some crop,
Elie," remarked one.
"It sure is Matt" replied the other,
with a distinct emphasis of satisfac-
ton in his tone.
Lets see, now; we've dug forty
bushels so far and we've dug hardly
two-thirds Of these rows. That
ought to give US 65 bushels out of
this quarter of an acre." commented
the other meditatively.
Easy, if the average production
per row holds out, as it promises to-
Just look at 'em-how heavy the

the other critically. "You never

WHAT THE ALLIES
WILL DEMAND
The Kaiser Has Been Indicted for
Murder by English Government

The Kaiser Has Been Indicted for
Murder by English Government
Washington, Oct. 24--Marshal Foch
and the Allied commanders have
agreed upon armistice terms tanta-
mount To Germany's unconditional
surrender if they are accepted.
From Il, authoritative source it
was learned today, these terms are
essentially as follows:
First-The evacuation of Alsace-
Lorraine.
Second-The evacuation of Prus-
sian Poland.
Third-The cessation of all NUM-
tion-making, to be insured by COM
mittees of allied officials who will be
installed in all factories at Essen and
all other points.
Fourth-The surrender of the sub
marine feet.
Fifth-The occupation of all Ger
man battleships by Allied naval Off
GERS.
The provisions of the armistice
have been drafted to embody the
foregoing points and to insure COM
pletely against any resumption of
warfare by Germany, either on land
or sea. o
Precautions were included to IRE
vent Germany utilizing the arfnIsulce
for the manufacture of war material
with view to continuing the fight
should peace negotiations fail.
British dispatches today laid par
ticular emphasis on the naval re-
quirements of an armistice to limit
! German sea-power and guarantee
against future naval outrages.
Belgium, France, Russia, Rumania
Serbia, and all other occupied lands
must, Of course, be evacuated.
1t is suggested that other armistice
terms will include Allied occupation
of a portion of Germany, with En-
tente and American troops in Berlin
at the KEupps Works, at Essen, il
Metz, Strassburg, Coblenz and al
key fol'tifio cations, and with AllieC
officials at German seaports.
In addition, there is belief thai
some of the Allied Powers will de
mand that Won der Lancken, slayer
of Edith Cavell, and other perpetra
tors of the more revolving German
atrocities be held as hostages. The
disposition of the Kaiser would also
figure in the arrangements. He is
under Indictment in England for frs
decree murder. the Indictment haV-
ing been voted after an air raid il
which a number of children were xii
| led.

Albert of Belgium and Premier
Clemenceau of France were appar-
emily so Indifferent to shell fire to
which they were exposed while the
Premier was visiting the Belgian
front recently as to arouse the ad-

thus:
"The scene is laid among the ruins
of a part of the Belgian front daily
shattered by shells, bombs, or aerial
torpedoes. In the street parallel to
the church a little group of persons
are walking. A tall khaki figure
seems to be guiding civilian and
some French officers. It is Belgian
General wandering leisurely up and
down answering questions and giving
explanations to his guests. From
our dug-out we soldiers watch with
curiosity.
Suddenly a whistle, an explosion
and q burst of smoke but 80 yards
from the visitors. Not one of then
took any notice Another 1t fall;
quite near. The Belgian General, the
| civilian and their suite have mo-
turned their heads, merely continue
their walk as slowly as before. While
the fire continues, the visitors arr
getting nearer our dug-out and We
stand at attention.
"The Belgian General is King AL
