Short of Moisture.

We had no rains last fall, remember
and no spring rains thus far this sea-

last winter, and we are short of our
normal precipitation, now for more
than six months. The ground needs
moisture and lots of it to make 1t

London, March Accommodating on
the great battle in France, the Daily
Graphic says:
In the main the enemy is held.
Nevertheless, we are bound to rec
ognize the situation, viewed as a
whole, is critical"
Pointing out that the Germans have
been able to bring to bear at certain
points of the line an alta cking force
which vastly outnumbers the defend
ers, the Graphic concludes:
But, providing the breaking of the
line involves no panic, but only a
retirement to previously prepared po-
sitions, the loss is reparable."l

10000, or an average Of less than ten

Translations of editorial comment in
the German press, made public by the
committee on public information, in,
clude the following from the BerAner
Tageblatt:
"The terms Of the ultimatum to Rus
STA will please even the most unre-
lenting advocates Of violence. 1t would
be interesting TO hear Hertling, who
accepted Wilson's second principle that
people are not to be bartered about
from sovereign to sovereign, explain
just what differences exist between
the political methods Of the past and
those of today. 1t may be conceded
that today the German reichstag is in
formed of coming changes, but not I'M
til the matter has been settled with
out 1t. We all hope this policy will
bring peace and prosperity, but we
cannot conceal our anxiety at the birth
of these new states"

An investigation for the purpose of
improving methods for prevention and
control of communicable diseases, es-
pecially near army camps, is being
made by the United States public
health service. The work will relate
largely to the Standardization and
preparation of serums.
The first serum to be studied win
be that used in cerebro-spinal menin-
gifts, which has lately been prevalent
in camps.
Although bakers who use less than
three barrels of flour and meal a
month are not required to secure food
administration licenses, recent rule
gives them the right to come under
license.

are being built at the Ford plant will

Persons who send mail to members

ticularly requested, in statement is
sued by the post office department, to
use Ink only in writing the addresses.
Every piece of mail matter should also
bear the name and address of the
sender.
Heavy paper, canvas, or cloth should
be used for wrapping packages. When
canvas or cloth is used the address
should be written on shipping tag,
with the name and address of the
sender on the reverse side.
Given names should be written in
full, instead of initials. The title of
the addressee and the full name of the

signed should be added, 1t being suffi-
cient in the way of further address to
use the words american Expeditions

Germany's war leaders are using the
submarine to prevent fulfllment of
Americas agreements to feed and re-
lieve European neutrals, according to
statement by the war trade board.
1t says:
"a mass Of cumulative evidence and
indications in the possession of the
war trade board shows that Germany
is employing the submarine menace to
prevent neighbor neutrals receiving
any food or fayors at the hands Of the
United States and its associates In
the war, and to coerce these neutrals
through starvation and political and
economic dependence upon Germany,
quite as much as to strike at the COM
municatIons of its opponents-Ger-
many's ostensible aim in proclaiming
the ruthless submarine campaign.
Further indications tend to show
that the submarines are being used
along similar dog-in-the-manger lines,
to destroy neutral shipping without re-
gard to its employment"
