American aviators. He told how they
were sent to Franco to be trained
and got no training.
Those who went first had their
morale destroyed. Chamberlain de-
clared, because they got neither train
ing nor fighting and later on were
shunted aside by other young men
trained in this country and sent
abroad.
He cited the cases OF two lieuten-
ants who appealed to him after their
commissions had been revoked when
they asked for transfers TO some
place whore they could get into active
service.
II got nowhere because OF the red
tape until ! took the matter up per-
sonally with Gen. March," said Cham
berlaln. Tie reinstated the two boys
and transferred them to the tank
corps. But thousands of others did
not get the same redress these two
got.
Chamberlain charged lack Of hos.
pitals TO receive the steady stream OF
wounded and sick soldiers now pouring
in from France.
IF the War Department doesn't
protect these boys, you're going TO
have death and suffering and untold
agony" he declared. 'If the War
Department paid half as much atten-
ton to care for these boys as they do
TO protecting contractors with informal
contracts, conditions would be better"
Chamberlain's reference TO the con .
tractors was apparently due TO the
presence OF Secretary Baker. Assist
ant Secretary crowell and other wac
officials at a House hearing Satur-

Eichorn said the politicians in this
group believed the arrest of the cor

changing the entire complexion OF the
political situation and probably re-

cussed. The extension workers are
giving attention to preventing the
spread of brood diseases, especially
of American foul brood, brought on In
many cases by the failure of bee-keep-
ers properly to diagnose the disease.
3 The outlook for 1918 is bright, spe-
cialists of the department believe. Fac
tories making bee-keepers' supplies
have been running overtime during the
past winter and are ready to supply
all demands that can be made on them,
provided the goods can be transported.
There has been an enormous increase
in the demand for literature on bee
keeping, including many calls for farm
ers' bulletins. The demand for bees
is so great that 1t will probably ex-
ceed the supply, for in addition to
those who wish to embark in bee-keep-
ing there is desire on the part Of
the bee-keepers to enlarge their
apiaries and increase their output Of
honey.
The exports of 1917 honey to Europe,
especially to the United Kingdom, ex-
ceeded by far those of any previous
year. During the winter 1t was COM
mon for more honey to leave for Eur
ope In ten days than in any year pre-
vious to 1914.

The interest in increasing the pro-
duction of honey as a war measure is
countrywide and in some sections bee
keeping is receiving unprecedented at
tention. The increase In Colorado this
year will probably be 100 per cent, 1t
is said. In many localities there has
been a marked increase in winter pro-
lection, and the bees passed the cold
season and were ready to begin work
Of gathering nectar as soon as tho
weather permitted.
The United States department Of ag-
riculture now has 13 bee-extension
workers who are working in 80 states,
and the requests from those who wish
information and help on bee-keeping
are coming In faster than the DEPART
ment and its extension workers can
take care of them. To meet this de-

being held in various bee-raising dis
tricts. particularly in the Southern
states, in which bee culture Is dis
