NO MEETING
Russians Fail to Show Up
When Teuton Delegates
Gather for Farley.

London, Jan. 5.-When
the delegates of the CEN
trail powers arrived at
Brest-Litovsk to resume
the peace negotiations
they found no Russian
delegates there, accord
ing to a Vienna dispatch
to Zurich forwarded by
the Exchange Telegraph
company. All that awaited
them was a telegram from
the Russians asking for
transfer of the negotia-
tions to Stockholm.
Although the Bolsheviki foreign
Leon ,Trotzky, announced
that the German peace terms would
not be accepted, it was expected tina,
the German delegates would return
to Brest-Litovsk for the meetings
which were to be resumed today, tt
inform the central powers of Russia's
attitude. The Russians requested
transference Of the negotiations .e
St0chh0lm, because they would have
less difficulty there in obtaining full
publicity concerning the negotiations
and also because they preferred &
neutral place to the German eastern
headquarters for holding the discus
sion.
Germans Oppose Stockholm.
The German chancellor, Count vor
Hertling, told the reichstag main com
mittee on Thursday that the German
delegates had been instructed to re-
fuse to transfer the negotiations t.

AGR|CULTUR IN ENGLAND
IS BEING SYsTEMATIzED

LONDON, Jun 5.-The big war re
vival in agriculture is producing many
interesting experiments in the grow
ing of new crops on land not in use
for growing human food. For ex-
ample, big area in the country is
now, on the suggestion of the food
production department, planted with
sunflOwers, the seeds of which are
valuable both as a sOurse of oil and
for poultry food.
Small cultivators are also urged by
the government to SOW sugar beets
as an important food for stock, espe-
cially for pigs. Farmers whose GER
cal crops have failed owing to at
lacks from different kinds of para
sites are advised to grow linseed.
The latest reports from the country
show unprecedented activity in DO
tato planting in spite of the bad
spring weather.

BRITISH RAT|ON|NG RULES
WORKING SATISFACTORILY

LONDON, June 5.-Seyenteen mil
lion people in England are now ra-
toned for tea and steps are being
taken by the food controller to make
the ratiOning of tea uniform throug-
out the country.
The rationing scheme has been so
successful that it has caused the Lon
don queues to fade away as if by mag
ic. The only ones that remain are
the amusement queues, and few
lard and one or two cats meat
queues.
Until a few weeks age there were
tea queues every day in front of a
big merchants store in Fleet street
and that store reduced its business
hours to a minimum. Now there is
no queue and the store is open all
day. The explanation of the manager
is that the tea was not distributed
to the small stores whose customers
theh came to the big stores and
formed queues.
The margarine shops, whose queues
used to reach round the block. are
now queue-less and have big displays
in their windows. The meat markets
seem full of food and everyone seems
moderately satisfied.
Comenting on the transformation
made by rationing in the appearance
OF the city, one paper suggests: at
would be good if those organs of pub
hclty which made a big business of
queue photos that were afterward
reproduced in German papers and
made good German propaganda, would
now publish photos of the queueless
cities and stocked shops"

GERMAN NECESSITY FINDS
SUBSTITUTE FOR JUTE.

LONDON, June 5.-A government
trade paper contains a report from
the British Consul General at Zurich
of the appearance in Germany of a
wod pulp fibre called cellulon as an
efficient substitute for jute, cotton
and other fibres. Swiss spinners are
closely watching the development of
this textile substitute. The British
consul has seen a sample of the cloth
made from cellulon, and describes it
as extremely strong, although it is
made directly from wood pulp.

A Word to American MotherS


 General Pershing not long ago gave out an in terview which must be cheering American mothers, to those whose boys in France or are on the way there. Boys he says, far less likely to be led morally astray there than at home. There is little CT no temptation to drink. There is nothing for them to drink but the light wines of the French peasant who is the most temperate of men. The regulation against the use alcohol never rgidly enforced they are at the front. Off cers who show the effect of alcohol severely punished. Says General Pershing: Men must be competent; the drinking man makes a bad soldier, matter how much Germany may believe in feed ing up her alcohol in order to screw their courage the striking point The army won't stand alcohol because it must conserve it's manpower. That gives the safety here in the army which mem bershp of the city the village church in all coholic town never gave him when at home"
 Concerning stories of immortality among the troops the general says that they are circulated in America by enemy agencies and he gives this advice to mothers:
 My advice to mothers is to stop worrying about these things and not to write to their about them. Send them along good, clean matter that will keep them interested and thoroughly informed with regard to men, events and trends at home EsLe- cially to avoid letting the boys get of touch with home things When the is and they go back home the American troops will be great and probably the great, political power If the boy and his comrades kept thoroughly informed they will be cleaner boys while here and intelligent voting citizens when they go back home.
 T may add the concrete statement that in this command there is at present only thirty hun dredths of cent of venereal disease much of which was brought from the States. That is dition pot likely tQ be equalled among youngsters in their home towns. As matter of fact, doubt if it is paralleed today in the average American city large small In short, the moral of the Amer ican Army in France is excellent and has been surpassed in any Army anywhere.
 Cur young men are of high average intelligence. They have come for business and not for pleasure. They have come to fight in good cause and they are far too sensible not to know that they could not fight effectively if they did not maintain a high standard of physical health"
 Tn some ways average American boy is bet ter off here than he at home for here it is his patriotic duty to keep well. If he wakes up in the morning feeling mean he is sternly ordered to report the circumstance to the doctor. He was not certain to do that when he at home and thus here he may be less likely than he at home to let little ailments grow to big
 But the greatest safeguard of the American soldiers health will be his high and developed teligence. That is where gain an immense ad- vantage from the fact that we arc so nearly uni versally 1terate nation, and from the that hterates are such eager readers of the newspapers

The Next Peace Offensive

The papal peace proposal will be awaited with in- terest but without expectation that it will encounter a fate different from that of the former It of course suggest terms in line with the frequently stated war aims of the allies in which they would probably await it's reception by the central powers, but proposal looking to compromise and concession would not and could not be entertained without qualification.
 The tiRe will be less propitous than that at which the former proposal came from the Vatican. It would be regarded by the allies a peace offen sve alternative of military offensive already underway, and which by Whit Sunday may have failed or have progressed toward success Since the last proposal Germany has been guilty of crimes and has repeated in Russia the old crime of treaty violation has furnished proof that it is a ton which does not hold any treaty sacred.
 Moreover we are committed against compromise with autocracy. We have since declared that peace can only by the exercise of the utmost force. President Wilson made that declaration at Balt- and it endorsed by the American people. If the president meant it. there be mediation. Any proposal involving less than the absolute render of the central powers and their submission to such terms as the allies may impose cannot be acceptable without backing down by America. In- termediaries, the pope and neutral powers per- form other office than to bring the allies word that Germany is ready to make such surrender.

there might be purchased glass of beer or wine or two fingers of whisky. For dinner ordered in good faith under the spur of honest-to- goodness appetite. might purchase a stein of beer small bottle of wine three fingers of whisky. With a still sumptuous dinner, of, say, many courses the limit alcoholic drinks should be removed so that the patron might stagger into the street and sleep off his dinner in the nearest gutter
 It is not to be understood that are proposing any such arrangement. We are suggesting it only to make the Los Angeles decision consistent and understandable. We know that any such scheme as we have hnted at would not work in Los Angeles anywhere else. The more eats the less he wants drink Alcohol is not food but it removes the craving for food. Many on the other hand who thinks he wants drink finds that he does not want it after he has partaken generously of food.
 A better decision would be to compel the patron to eat heartily and after that if he feels the need alcoholic solace let him have it. still better thing in Los Angeles would be prohibition real and genuine.

TELL ME ANOTHER STORY"

"Tell Me Another Story" by Carolyn Sherwin Bai- ley is another in the series of childrens books pub lished by Milton Bradley Company, Springfield Mass Printed in large easy reading type bound in dark red cloth. stamped with gold, price s1.50 postpaid. "Te Me Another Story" provides something in story telling books-something definite and original in con- vital stories, originally grouped according to care and to train the child mind in concentration and thought sequence.
 This book is based a very definite and psycho- logical plan of story programs, each containing three stories so arranged that while the form provides trast there is break in the continuity of the theme
 First is an Apperceptve Story. which brings the child into close and intimate touch with the theme because speaks of the things he knows and of things he can do The second. story of Constructive Thought, appeals to the childs reasoning powers; it takes him mentally afield and his voluntary attention. It is usually the long story of the three and presents the recurrent thought in broader way. The third is a Fanciful Imaginative Story selected to supply the necessary relaxation after the real sub stance of the story meal and is invariably fitting climax to the group.
 The effect of this arrangement is a mental growth, training in will, and stimulus to connected thought.
 No schooroom where story telling plays it's im- portant part in the education and development of the child mind can afford to be without this work. Many of the stories and original with Miss Paiey the others selected adapted by her famous authors. Not one of them is introduced without a dafnita aim and mona will fail in its

Arizona in the National Army

Arizona has the proud distinction of having con- trbuted proportionately to the national lrmy than any other state in the Union. On the basis of population of the former quotas Arizona sent four times many to the contonments it would have to send under the proposed basis of ,he number of men in Class l, that is the number of physically fit to go. We given ficti- tious population double the actual population and that included aliens, automatically exempt who in some localities made up much than half the regstrants result of this arrangement is that in of the counties every available registered has already been taken that they could contri-, bute nothing to any future quota.
 It was thought that in the next draft Arizona would be given credit for the excess of its conribu- tons but it is said that that cannot be done; that what we have given, have given and we must start anew the footing With other states.
 Nobody is disposed to offer any complaint. We do not regret that have done than our share but that under the former awkward illogical and inequitabe arrangement of the states were not called upon for their full share when there was so much to be done.

VARIED PROGRAM
 FUR CHAUTAU0UA

The program as outlined for the coming Chautauqua week is above all built for national service. The chief lectures of the week deal with the great war problems of the day.
 The week will open in true patriotic manner with an evening program by the Old Soldier Fiddlers.' These four old veterans of the Civil war under the leadership of Col. J. A. Pat tee, present one of the most stirring concert entertainments upon the American platform. All veterans, their wives and widows are invited to at tend this first evening free of charge.
 The music of the second day will De given by the Fenwick Newell Con- cert company, featuring Fenwick A. Newell, American tenor. The third day brings the Morrison Smith com pany, musical duo of unusual merit Miss Mildred Morrison, pianist, solo, lst and reader and Alice Genevieve smith, harpist. The fourth day the Zedeler Symphonic Quintet present two | programs of the great musical classics. The musical part of the week reaches it's climax on the fifth day in the coming of Thaviu's Exposition
 band and grand opera singers. This great ChlcagO organization opened the San Francisco exposition and out of sixteen bands of national reputation was the only one requested for a re-
 turn engagement. In the evening three sololsts will be presented from one of Ch1cago's grand opera organizations. l The sixth day the Treble Clef club, four charming girls under the leader snip of Jessie Rae Taylor, offer two
 highly pleasing programs.
 The last night of Chautauqua, fea- turing An Evening in Hawaii will probably be one of the most enjoy
