CFrom Committee on Public 1nformation)
WashingtOn.-Agre has been
reached by the war labor policies
board, Provost Marshal General Crow
der. the secretary of war, the secre-
tary of agriculture and the secretary
of labor on a plan to put into deferred
classification such persons in the new
draft as are necessary in agriculture,
Industry and other occupations.
Three advisers are to be associated
with each district draft board to pre-
sent facts respecting the supply of
necessary workers in these three occu-
pational groups. The agriculture ad-
visers will be nominated by the sec
retary of agriculture. They will
gather accurate facts concerning the
requirements of agriculture for the
various classes of workers In their own
districts. They should have informa-
tion also as to the needs of such
classes in other districts that workers
not sufficiently necessary in one dis
trict to entitle them to deferred classi-
fication may have opportunity to go to
other districts in which they are
needed.
The department of agriculture has
sent QUESTIONABLE to each county
agent asking him to furnish reliable
information regarding the farm labor
needs in his county. The facts are re-
quired to assist the district draft
boards in keeping in agriculture the
(a) necessary skilled farm laborer in
necessary agricultural enterprise" (de-
ferred class p (b) necessary assist
ant. associate, or hired manager of
necessary agricultural enterprise (de-
ferred class 3); (c) necessary sole
managing, controlling or directing head
of necessary agricultural enterprise
deferred class AZ.
What the draft boards desire are
facts as to necessary skilled workers
The unskilled workers apparently are
not TO be considered for deferred
classification; they are regarded as
more important for the army than fol
agricultural enterprises and general in
dustry. The department of agriculture
points out that necessary skilled farm
labor should not be confused with in
experienced help that. with little
training, can do very well some kinds
of farm work.

The war trade board has authorized
the importation of fresh tomatoes
from the Bahamas to New York when
they are moved as deck cargo on
Cuba-New York mail steamers. Fruits
and vegetables are on the restricted
import list, but in this, as in other
similar cases, it is explained, the war
trade board has found it possible to
aid vital West Indian industries by
permitting tomatoes to be carried as
deck load without excluding other
more essential cargo and without i'm
posing any further demands upon ton

The revenue from the sales of water in the United
States amounts 52459 To this should be added
the sum of S101 4593l, representing sales to Mexican
ter users dlng the period making total Of 1885,,
983 80 in water sales for the first six months of the
rent year.
The account Generating Expenses" carried on the
District books is charged with $48 6272 while the
account on the Mexican Company books for the pc
1iod shows total charge of $189l522 making grand
total of $437, ,54243.
Comparing the above results will be noted that the
cost Of maintaining and operating the entire canal sys
tenn for the first six months of 1918 amounted to SAL
5553 in excess of the total water earned by the
system during said period.
This apparent difference will be wiped out by Sep

New York Coffee,

New York, Dec. l3.-The only fresh fea-
ture TO attract much attention in the cot

announcement from the food administra-
ton that officials Of the shipping control
committee suggested that firms interested
in vessels for coffee from Brazil advise
them Of requirements and an endeavor
would be made TO arrange vessel, space.
This was taken MS a further indication
that imports would probably increase as

also looking for an increased demand

Boston, Dec. l3.-The sloop Reso-

cup against Sir Thomas Lipton's
Shamrock w., in 1914, will be found
still in condition to defend the ia
nous trophy if the latest challenge
of Sir Thomas is accepted by the

it. The Resolute, which defeated
the Vanitie in the trials to pick
defender, was housed in a special
structure at City Island, near New

were called off on account Of the

will say: Not without some accompany.
ing inconvenience, but with little actua
unsettlement, the country has passed
through the first month Of transition to q
peace basis with many of the necessary
changes already effected. While the pro
cess OF readjustment, involving a genera
transformation Of production and labor
and prices. is yet far from completed, q
E.ore natural situation Is steadily returning
with the lessening or elimination Of various
restrictions, which have prevented the
development Of regular commerce. The
ending, with the present year. of Official
supervision Of the steel trade, except as tc
embargoes, is a further important step In
the direction Of restoring conditions to a
rre-war footing, and leading industries
are each week becoming freer from arbi-
trary restraints and regulations. With
government work not now monopolizins
supplies of raw materials and OF labor ir
about every quarter, some private prof.
ects which have been long deferred are
being started, and there is also evidence
Of increased buying to replenish depleted
stocks of merchandise.
