Through some strenuous and heroic
work done last week by Congressman
George M. Young. who is member of
the House Committee on Agriculture.
the bill introduced by Congressman
John M. Baer for an appropriation of
fifty million dollars for feed and seed
grain was again taken up and favor
ably recommended to the House in an
amended form. wherein $2,5O0.000.0O
is proposed to be provided for the mo-
bilization of farm labor, and $780,
100000 for the purchase of seed wheat.

ers on time. Congressman Young is
entitled to great credit for the verv
diplomatic and effective work done bv
him in getting the bill favorablv re-
ported out of the Committee on Ag-
riculture where it had met with strong
opposition both from members on the
Committee as we'll as from the Secre-
tary of Agriculture.

Ordered Big Drilling Outfit.

The Des Laos Western Oil Co. has
placed an order for a $4,000 modern
drilling outfit which will be here in q
few weeks. The machine was ordered
from Denver and will sink the largest
sized hole and go right down into the
bowels of the earth. The fifth test
we'll is being drilled by Mr.. Anderson,
who is down $50 feet. He struck oil
at 377 feet this time.

age OF increase in price is shown for
barley as for oats. The difficulties
of transportation and the failure of
the railroads to get grain to the ter
minal markets as fast as the demand
for export and for domestic use alb
| sorbed the supply have been two prin-
! cipal factors in maintaining an I'M
usually high differential between the
price paid the farmer and the cost to
the consumer.
The War TO be Decided on West Front
| The easy success GERMANY is hav-
ing in overrunning Russia and the
Balkan States has not changed and
will not change the final field of bat
tie in the war. Germany is now anxi-
ously trying to shift the center of
equilibrium of the war away from the
western front. If this center could
be changed by Germany to Russia
or to India or to the Balkan Peninsula,
it would altogether to the liking and
to the strategical advantage Of Ger
many. But German autocracv and
frightfulness has been called to final
accounting on the western front. Her
tiger-like attempts to bounce upon and
rend and cursh BELGIUM and France
in the first few days of the war fail
ed. Her later attempts at Verdun to
slowly and steadily hack and burn
France to death, failed. Her unres-
tricted submarine campaign to starve
to death England, Frances principal
ally, failed. Her present efforts to
shift the battle ground from the west
ern front will fail. France. Eng
land, and the United States have
drown the sword of Democracy and
free government against German Au-
tocracy and Militarism and it will not
be sheathed until these dreadful and
degrading influences have been de-
feated and have ceased for all time to
disturb the peace of the world. Do
what she may, Germany cannot shake
off France, England, and the United
States from her western front. There
the Allies are massed against her. and
there her power finally will be brok-
en-. There the peace terms will be
dictated. There will she be forced
to surrender up what her plotting. her
intrigues. her spies, and her military
machine have won for her in other
places.
Railroad Bill Finally Passed
The House and Senate this week
approved the conference report on
the Railroad Bill. The bill will re-
ceive the signature Of the President
within day or two. AS passed the
bill authorizes the President to agree
with and guarantee any railroad or
transportation company taken over by
the federal government that during
the period of federal control it shall
receive as just compensation an an
nual sum payable from time to time
in reasonable installments for each
year and pro rata for any fractional
year not exceeding sum equivalent
as nearly as may be to it's AVERAGE
annual railway operating income for
the three years ending June 30, 1917.
The President is authorized to take
over short line railroads and guaran-
tee them Just and fair compensation,
The federal control of railroads is to
continue during the period of the war
and may continue for period not ex
ceeding one year and nine months fol-

When the Americans took over
the sector the French loaned a num-
Der of their observers to train the
newly arrived Americans. One man
the French said was especially good,
because he knew every inch of the
German territory under observation.
He had lived over the line before
tie war, and his family was still
there. This man had escaped to
France to join The army when war
broke OUT. From the observation
position he could see on real clear
days his home over the line, and
with the aid of glasses he watched

10 BELL With THE KAISER"

ITO HE'LL WITH THE KAISER
The startling title of this screen
classic picture is enough to commend
it at once to patriotic people, and a
big audience was present last night
to see the production. The specta-
tors were enthusiastic in their ap-
plause. The picture is warranted to
fan the spark of national loyalty to
white heat. ITO He'll With the
Kaiser" is a clever commingling of
fact and fancy. The war lords Of
Germany, the "Potsdam gang" pre-
sided over by Wilhelm of Hohenzol-
lern, are shown planning the con-
quest of the world. To each is al
loted nation as a reward-the Uni
ted States reserved for the last, in
tended for the Crown Prince. The
now historic incidents are shown
in which Wilhelm the monster tore
up the treaty of Belgium declaring
it to be only a scrap of paper" and
acknowledging to the world that he
disregarded all honor and decency,
The sacking of Belgium, the burn
ing of converts and the violation of
nuns and young girls are indicated in
a way that makes the blood boil with
righteous Indignation against the
Huns, but these matters are so deli
cately handled that the youngest
child can see them without harm
ITO He'll With the Kaiser" is of
the greatest historic value, and more
than that, it is a powerful story
Scenes are shown which will be Of
intense interest TO every American
community which has given sons to
the great cause OF, humanity. You
may have some friend who saw this
picture at the Sugg last night. Step

Banker Bergh Wins !.
Custody of 3 Sons

Justice Greenbaum, in the Supreme
Court, yesterday decided that William
c. Bergh, banker and nephew of the
late Henry Bergh, founder of the So
ciety for the Prevention of Cruelty to
Animals, should have the sole author
ity over his three sons, whose ages
range from thirteen to seventeen
years. :.
Mr.. Bergh obtained a separation
from Mrs. Ella S. w. Bergh, and in
asking the custody Of his sons he
said:
"The conduct of my wife toward our
sons, Henry Bergh, 3d. Alfred Polk
and Roland, while not intended in
any other than a we'll intentioned, ,
motherly way, has been such as Ito
absolutely disqualify them from de9
yeloping into manhood"
Mr.. Bergh said that when his sons
were between the ages of eleven and
fifteen years his wife taught them to
play with dolls and teddy bears. Also,
while they were at private school,
it was recited, the mother of the boys
sent them screens, so that they would
not have to dress and undress in view
of the other pupils. Mrs. Bergh also
sent tenn footbath tubs.

Wilson Is Called
Upon to End the
Sd Tern, "Menace'
Only Way u. S. Can "Dou-
BILE Time to Victory" Says
George w. Pepper

ATLANTIC CITY, June 21.-George
Wharton Pepper, an attorney of Phila-
delphia, and leader in the pre-war
preparedness movement called upon
President Wilson tonight to "end the
third term menace" so that America
could "double-time" to victory. No
President with third term in rind,
he declared, could formulate the broad
war policies essential to complete VIC
tory. Mr.. Pepper spoke at the con-
vention of the New York State Bank
ers' Association in the Hotel Trayn ore.
"The single suggestion that wish to
press home," he said, "is this: This
war cannot be won until the govern
ment. of the United Staces adopts a
complete and definite war programme
end submits it for the intelligent ac-
ton of the American people. Nothing
approaching this has yet been done.
Until it is done people of this country
will not do their utmost
Outlines Programme
"Our needed war programme must
have three outstanding features. 1t
must lay out for us the task of fight
ing Germany and all her allies in every
part of the world. The programme
'luoo give us ucHulte uilIllIluIu W
work for il respect to the size of our
navy. 1t must accord such recognition
to unity of Allied interests that all
talk about the possibility of separate
peace will al once be stopped.
"a great programme like this implies
an absolutely patriotic and wholly un-
selfish Executive for its making and
execution. We Americans Of all par
ties and opinions wish to find these
great qualities in our President. But
while the thing is not much talked
about. there is widespread impress
sion that party and political considera-
ton still influence important action at
Washington.
"And just at this crisis in the
worlds history comes definite and re-
sponsible suggestion that President
Wilson should be n candidate for a
third term. No President who was a
candidate for a third term would dare
announce such a programme as I have
outlined. President Wilson has to-day
an opportunity such as falls to the lot
of but few public men. BY an an
nouncement of real and comprehen-
sive war programme he can set Ameri-
can democracy to moving at double
third-term menace he can inspire the
whole people to follow him to final
victory"
Time for Progress
H. M. Jefferson, of the New York
Federal Reserve Bank, an earlier
speaker, declared that war necessitated
putting banks on a military basis, in
which only merit would win prom otion
from the ranks. 1t was good time also,
he said, for progress in other direc-
tions, such as social welfare work, pen
sion funds and educational branches.
"This war must be won if it costs our
ALL" said George 1. Skinner, New. York
State Superintendent of Banking.
"Ca !, minds and fearless hearts must
be our resources. You must do even
more in the future than in the past.
You must do that which is distastefui
to you. You must go into politics in a
broad sense. You must atch the inim-
ical financial legislation, which may be
as disastrous as losing an army in
France"
