ENGLISH SCOUTS
TO HELP FARMERS
SLAUGHTER HARES

London, Feb. 26-In many ways the
Boy Scouts have rendered valuable
national service since the war started.
Now. in response to an appeal from
the Food Controller they are going to
help the farmers kill rabbits.
From the point of view both of
food production and crop protection"
says the Food Controller" the killing
of rabbits at the present time is a
national and public service. Every
rabbit killed represents roughly two
and a half pounds of food for the ma.
ton, and means also one enemy the
less for the crops and the farmer"

ALL FOR WILSON
LS0N THE COST HEAVY II SHIPS COMING
Morning Papers Gave Large
Space to Presidents Visit.
other News Is Greatly Con-
densed in London Sheets.

London, Dec. 27.-London's morn
ing newspapers having suspended pub
lication since Tuesday for the Christ
mas holiday, had to find space today
for three days news from the world.
Nevertheless, by far the largest part
of every paper is giveh over to Presi-
dent Wilson's visit, other news being
severely condensed. Thruout the de-
scriptive articles as well as the edi-
torials, qualification is expressed over
Mr.. Wilson's presence and the peoples
joyous welcome which is declared to
have been the warmest tribute to a
distinguished visitor that London has
ever known. There is strain of SYM
pathetic personal greeting running
thru all the stories and the writer's re-
gard the popular acclamations Of the
president as being animated by the
same spirit.
president Wilson's journey was a
triumphal procession from the mo-
ment he landed" says the Mail, land
it was real, sincere affection and no
mere curiosity that brought to his ears
the tremendous acclamations of the
more excited crowds here but never
crowds that so impressively expressed
their warm hearted hospitality"
The Telegraph says: '"The warmth
OF the welcome to President Wilson
could not have been exceeded. The
enthusiasm with which we greeted
the president is of n particular quality
and different from that often felt in
receiving other guests whom we have
delighted to honor"
kings and emperors arriving as
Great Britain'S guests were never ac-
corded such a moving popular ova-
tion," says the Chronicle. Beneath
the surface of the visit betokens a
great deal more than that of head
of state and the crowds were well
aware of this fact"
The Daily News says: 'It was a
peoples welcome, not only express
ing gratitude for the presidents spac-
fous craftsmanship, lofty vision and
unfailing wisdom, but also sending
greetings from the free people Of
America on the morrow of their joint
victory.
London never witnessed anything
quite like this impressive welcome" !"
says the Express, which dwells on the
remarkable size of the crowds, de-
claring mo foreign sovereign was
ever SO acclaimed by so many people.
The crowds that welcomed Marshal
Foch and Field Marshal Haig were
small in comparison"
The same newspaper devotes a
paragraph to the impression Mr. Will
son made upon the people. 1t says
that comments which were overheard
were altogether complimentary. "A
strong face" "a fine looking man."
"a proper gentleman" and other ex-
pressions were heard and when Amer
lean soldiers in the crowd said: I'VE
guess he is a real man anyway" the
people near them endorsed their SEN
timents with cheers
Newspapers generally refer appre-
ciatively to the gracious bearing of
Mrs Wilson and the presidents smile.

Uncle Sam VIII Pay Half Bill.
lion for Wheat.
In Order To Keep Promises to
the American Farmer.

Washington, Dec. 27.-The keeping
Of Uncle Sans war promise to- his
farmers is going to cost a half billion
dollars and perhaps more.
1t will take this amount to pay the
differences between the market price
of the forecast, 1,O00.O00,OOO bushels
1919 wheat crop and the price of ST.
set by the president during the war
time, Chairman Lever of the house
agricultural committee estimated to-
day.. ?
Lever today had in first stages of
preparation bill extending the life of
the, United States grain corporation
and increasing its capital stock from
$150, 100000 to about 100000, 200.
The bill is the result of joint recon-
mendation of the. food administration
and agricultural department which
called congress attention to the fol-
lowing facts: .
All indications now point to the
sowing of 75,00e,000 acres of wheat
with the greatest of bumper crops
reaching over a billion bushels.
OF this only about COO, 200, 900
bushels can be used at home.
The most this country ever exported
was 310.OO0.000 bushels. and this when
1t stood. as the worlds only wheat
shipper, without the competition of
Argentina, Australia and other coun-
tries.
1.-THE United States cannot fail to
keep it's promise to wheat producers.
and it cannot compete with the rest
Of the world with $226 wheat" Lever
pointed out today. TT cannot even
sell $2.26 wheat to domestic consum-
ers when a much lower price Is justi-
fled by world market conditions"

Only Hope for Russia Now Il
Immediate Intervention.
Prince LvOff Urges Sending OF
Armies at Once.
TO STAMP OUT BOlSHEvISM
Asks United States and Japan
To Send Armies There
If the Allies as Whole Feel 1t
Not Possible Now.

Paris, Dec. 27.-The only solution
of the Russian problem is immediate
allied Intervention, Prince Lvoff, first
Russian premier after the revolution,
declared In an interview with the
United Press today. He suggested
that the United States and Japan
should furnish the armies.
"I appreciate fully the disinclination
of the allied peoples, after four years
of war. to intervene in far away Rus
sia, but the allies must understand
that unless the Bolsheviks are con-
quered the jnsidious propaganda they
are spreading thruout the world in
evitably will again menace the world S
peace.
"Only we who have just come from
Russia realize the extent of the dan
ger. which the allies and neutrals do
not yet appreciate.
The quicker the allies intervene the
smaller will be the necessary expedi-
tionary force. Two hundred thousand
men would be sufficient now to put
down the Bolsheviks, while by spring
. vastly larger force would, be re-
auired.
Let United States and Japan Do 1t.
Should the allies feel that general
Intervention is impossible. on account
OF the sacrifices they have already
made. they might authorize America
anu JdpdIl-uA AOoo CHSbiA
has not been exhausted like the 9TH
ers-to undertake the work japanese
forces already in Russia number
$4,000. The Americans have $4,000,
while the French and British con-
tingents are smaller. The immediate
increase of these forces to 100000
would permit the establishment of a
representative government and Rus
sia's participation in the peace con-
ference before it closes.
with local governments already
established and growing at Archangel
and Omsk and with separate states in
Ukrainia, Poland and Finland, the
Bolsheviks hold only the interior. But
it is imperative to eject them from
Petrograd and Moscow. This could
be accomplished easily by landing a
large allied forcewat Reval. only $50
kitOmeters (1s1h miles). from Petro-
grad.
Put Bolsheviki Down.
"once the Bolsheviks are put down,
the eventual government unquestiona-
bly, would be republican. The Bolshe-
viks no doubt would attempt a mon
archial reaction, but we could then
defeat them.
1.-The peace conference will be un-
able to re-establish and insure world
peace without settling the Russian
problem, while every days delay in
Intervention renders employment of a
greater 1orce eventually more appar-
ent"
Prince Lvoff heads a delegation of
fifteen Russian officials who are con-
ferring allied representatives in an ef-
fort to obtain aid in overcoming the
Bolsheviks. 1t includes former Pre-
mier Kokovlzoff; Vice Governor Korf.
of Finland; NJ. Vitrouboff, leader of
the Zemstov; NJ. De Giers. ambassa- :
dor TO Italy; NJ. Bakhmetieff. ambas-
sador to the United States: NJ. Stalk

SHOOTING WOULD
BE TOO EASY FOR
KAISER AND GANG

London, Dec. 27.-Shooting the for
mer kaiser and his co-conspirators
against world peace, would be letting
them off too easily in the opinion of
Richard Barth, Socialist member of
the German government. The best
punishment would be to make them
rebuild Belgium and northern France,
he declared in an interview with the
Berlin correspondent of the Express.
Personally, 1 believe the war orig
mated in Berlin said Barth, 1.-THE
main reason being that the kaiser
wanted to rule tile world
1.-The others responsible are the
crown prince, Admiral Won Tirpitz and
General Won Falkenhayn. Their pun
'ishment can not be too severe. The
allies may try them and shoot them,
but / think the best punishment would
be to make them rebuild Belgium and
northern France"

TODAY'S MARKET REPORTS

Chicago, Dec 27.-CORN-Fresh advances
in the corn market today resulted from
scantiness of offerings and from the fact
that receipts were even more meager than
hns recently been the case. Unsettled wealth
that pointed to further restriction of the
crop movement operated as an additional
bullish factor. Commia1ion houses tho
were moderate sellers on the bulges. Open
ing prices, which ranged from sc to 1l4c
higher with January $I.42h to Slab and
May $1.37 to $1.3I1s, were followed by con-
tinued upturns.
In the late dealings December touched
$1.5S1a, a rise of TIC within twenty -four
hours. Business in that option, however,
was not large. Prices closed unsettled.
varying from the same as yesterdays finish
to CSC higher with January $142H to
S142S and May $1.3GX to $l3G%.
OATS-Oats reflected the strength of
corn. Buying, however. was of only q
scattered sort. After opening 1sc to &c
higher with May 69Ec to 60Ac. the market
scored substantial further gains.
PROVISIONS-Provisio advanced with
grain. The market was afirly active.
Subsequently the market was upheld by
predictions that the February hog price
would be the same as for January.
