farmers chained together are marching
to Little Rock today in charge of fifty
internal revenue officers who slipped
into the Montgomery county hills yes
terday and arrested the men on
charges of making moonshine'
whisky.
In addition to being chained to-
gether as a further precaution against
an ambush. the prisoners were forced
to march on foot ahead of the officers,
for a distance of twenty-five miles over
the Ozark hills to the nearest railroad
station, from where they are to be
taken to Little Rock for arraignment,
Reports came from the hills that
"moonshine" whisky has been sold
openly for years and that any attempt
to raid the district would meet with
resistance. The revenue officers en-
countered no trouble in making the
arrests. although they seized more
than two dozen rifles.

efforts TO regain the lost positions
were repulsed by General Pershing' s

The new position gives the Amer

from which to operate against the COM

west of the German frontier and is al
most directly west of Strassburg, cap

Gardeners Should Buy
Onion Sets Early

Owners of war gardens who wish to
plant onions should buy the sets early
as the frost has caused shortage and
the price is rapidly increasing, said
Walter Eggemeyer Friday.
Even if the sets are not planted for
a few weeks they can be kept in a
cool place where they will not sprout
However, if the sets are left in a sacl
or in a warm place they will sprout
before they are planted.
According to Eggemeyer onion sets
are the only war garden vegetables
that are increasing in price. The Other
seeds and sets are selling at about the
same price as last year with the eX-
ception of potatoes which are selling
at a lower price.

NO WORD FROM FRANCES

WASHINGTON. March 15.--Aside
from press dispatches. Washington
has no information today on the de-
cision of the all Russian congress of
Soviets at Moscow ratifying the Ger
man peace terms. Nothing had come
either from Ambassador Frances at
Eologda or the American council gen
eral at Moscow.
Officials had no means of knowing
whether the action was taken before
or after receipt of President Wilson's
message to the people of Russia
promising American aiG in obtaining
for Russia full independence from
German aggression. The message
was sent March II.
1t is believed that ratification of
the peace terms will bring an early
move by Japan in Siberia. Any move
by the Japanese, it is believed, would
be made chiefly as a measure of pro-
lection for Japanese and American
supplies at Nladivostok.
