FARM LANDS IN
 FRANCE MAY RE
 MADE TO YIELD
Denuded Forests Prove the Most Grave Problem Which VIII Follow
 After the War.

PARIS, March 19.-The damaged industries and the upheaved and ex hausted farm lands of France, it is thought now, may be restored to their full production capacity with in five years after the conclusion of peace, with the exception of denuded forests and the most gravely wasted land in the immediate proximity of the line where the front has been practically stationary for more than three years.
 These are some of the elements upon which they count to make up for what France will have lost: Continued and developed use of fe- male labor in industries; entrance of youths into active business and in dustry, at an earlier age; greater ac- tivity and consequent greater produc- tive capacity of all categories of workers; and an enormous extension of the use of modern labor-saYing equipment in the factory and on the farm.
 The development of water power will contribute immensely to fill the void in industrial facilities while five years recruits of boys coming to age for active participation in the coun- try's affairs is expected to replace at least third of the wastage in human material.

 First comes laughing gaily in, With its matchless robes of beauty And it's trees of budding green"
 Today, the first day of Spring, instead of laughing Gaily in,' was blown in by one of the most clearly defined Takus that has famed this portion of the country within the past four months. Several inches of new snow fell last night and this forenoon and the manner in which the drifts piled up has not been ex- celled in a long time. Huge drifts which had settled down until they were not more than 15 feet high have taken on, in some instances, sev- eral feet with the advent of Spring and are still being augmented.

Generals commanding environments
and national guard camps are en-
thusiastic over the plan endorsed by
Secretary of War Baker to provide
entertainment for the soldiers. The
plan, it is felt in official circles, solves
many serious problems which camp
commanders I faced in preserving
strict discipline and at the same time
allowing their men necessary relax
alton. Some Of the men, suddenly
taken from an everyday life where
they did about as they pleased, have
found relaxation in nearby cities and
towns near the camps where ini1u-
ences have not been Of the best.
Under the new plan, some o. the best
kinds of entertainment the country
affords, including six or more of the
seasons best successes, will be pre-
scented in the camps, in theaters built
by the government. Friends of the
soldiers throughout the United
States will pay for the entertain
ment by buying Smileage books, con-
tanning coupons passing soldiers to
oil the shows.

TO SPEED Up
MAIL DELIVERY
Passport Regulations Now Permit
Few Women to Go Abroad as
Relief Agents.

Washington, Jan. 20.-Delays in the
deliveries of mails to American
troops in France are to be investi-
gated under resolution adopted Tues
day by the house. Rep. Rogers OF
Massachusetts, told the house there
have been shocking delays in letters
and packages sent to the American
soldiers and that there are conflict
ing claims as to responsibility.
Passport regulations of the state de.
partment now permit only those
American women to 60 abroad whose
services are imperatively required by
some recognized relief agency. The
explanation announced today was that
the presence of large numbers of free
lance workers was beginning to prove
an embarrassment to the warning
countries. Passports are being de-
MED also to the wives of American
officers in France.
To assist in keeping relatives in
touch with soldiers at training camps
and hospitals. the American Red
Cross ans notified Secretary Baker
that it is prepared to establish at
home the same camp service already
established in France

A. c. Townley, president of the Nat

ization which claims 100000 members,
and which is the Outgrowth of the
North Dakota Nonpartisan league, or
ganized by Townley with handful of
members on 1916, will again take the
stand in bankruptcy court here this
morning to answer to creditors whose
claims, aggregating approximately
$4,000, The asks the United States to
set aside in order that he may again
zen. With Townley will appear a
younger brother who was associated
with him in an unsuccessful flax ven-
ture in the western part of the state
in 1912 which resulted in the most
monumental farming failure in the
history of North Dakota.
The Townleys-A. C. and C. S.
filed their voluntary petition in bank
ruptcy with Referee H. F.. O'Hare
early last fall. They scheduled assets
of approximately $500 and liabilities
aggregating $4,000. A hearing on this
petition was begun in November and
has been continued from time. to time
to the present date. The Townleys
are represented by William Lemke,
state chairman Of the Republican CEN
trail committee and one of the five lea
que managers, and the creditors by
Francis J.. Murphy, of Minot, a for
mer assistant attorney general.
A determined quest has been in
progress since The initial hearing for
assets other than those then revealed
by Townley, which included only a
few personal belongings and two or
three hundred dollars in a St. Paul
bank. He testified that his only In
come is 5000 a month as general man

other $500 the month which he re.
ceives for directing the editorial pol
icy of the Courier-News and the Non
