authoritative statement this morning
that nothing has been presented to
change that decision led to the con-
clusion today among officials that the
Germans will be referred to Marshal
Foch for any further discussion Of
terms Of an armistice.
It was suggested that he is the log
ical one to decide what guarantees
and safeguards would be considered
satisfactory to the maintenance of-the
present military supremacy Of the al.
lied armies in the fields. If such turns
out to be the course pursued by the
wide public approval. judging from
the Expressions heard in official, con-
sressional and private slife every
where.
Sentiment of Country.
Since the first version Of the German
note was given publicity. nothing has
been heard in the talk around WASH
ington, or. indeed. echoed in the pub
lie press of the country generally. but
the fervent hope expressed that Pres
ident Wilson would refer the Hun to
Foch for terms and for any further
discussion of armistice or evacuation
of occupied territories.
Take it up with Foch,' is the terse
verdict of the public, according to the
trend Of the utterances. It was sup
posed that this view would appeal
particularly to President Wilson,
since he is known to be a warm SYM
pathizer with and advocate of the
principle Of unified military command,
such unifcation as is embodied in
Foch's position now.
The next feature and phase Of pub
lie discussion has been the heartfelt
wish that the President would pass
the subject along to Foch speedily.
Public Is Impatient.
It was realized that the American
executive would feel impelled to con-
fer with and collaborate with the
allies, since no one takes the posi-
ton that President Wilson or the
United States is fighting this war
alone. but nevertheless the public is
very impatient, Of anything more than
the most reasonable and perfunctory
delay, necessitated by courtesy due
the allies. in making the announce
ment of adherence to the decision.
Of course. it is only reiterating the
obvious to say that the public is rest
less and uneasy, for any one with ears
realizes it. but it is a fact that every
hour that passes pending a stern re-
ply to the latest piece of Hun at
tempted humhuggery increases the
unrest OF the Huhilc..

The note says that having received
the solemn and explicit assurance of the
German government thatit unreservedly
accepts the terms of peace and principles
enumciated by him, and that the desire
to discuss the details of the application
emanated not from those who hitherto
dictated the German policy, but from
ministers who speak for the overwhelm-

having received explicit promise that the
humane rules of civilized warfare will be
observed by the German armed forces
the President feels he cannot decline to

$39,OOO,OOO guaranteed stock of leased

stock of Boston & Maine bearing dur

rate of dividends and thereafter the
present rate of dividends.
"'This arrangement will reduce the

for any needed future issues.

bonds secured by such mortgage that
the Government is now asked to ad

INTERESTING
FACTS FROM
WASHINGTON
McAdOO Planned ~ Lend Maine Rail-
road Large Sums OF Money
Just Before Election.

Washington, d. c., October Per-
haps it is a mere coincidence that Di-
rector General of Railroads William
&. McAdoo planned to loan the Boston
G. Maine Railroad S2O,OOO,OOO just be-
fore the recent Maine elections.
Mr.. McAdoo may have had no
thought of the effect the loan would
have had on the Maine elections but
the following from the Congression-
al Record of September 81, Page H.
502, is interesting.
Representative Nicholas j. Sinnott
of Oregon, was speaking in the House
during the debate on the agricultural
bill. In Mr. Sinnott's speech the fCI-
lowing occurred:
Listen to this: Here nave a copy
of the Washington Post of September

BACTERIA ESSENTIAL
IN GROWING LEGUMES
Right Kinds Of Soil Organisms Can BE
Supplied by Field Soil and Pure
Culture incubation.

Washington, d. C. October S-For
the most successful growth of alfalfa,
clover, beans, peas, and other legum-
nous crops the proper kinds of bac-
terra should be abundant in the soil.
When new legumes are grown for the
first time in locality the soil should
be inoculated with the proper bacteria
by artificial incubation. In some re-
gions soils are already supplied with
the proper soil organisms; for exam
pie, in many southern localities arti-
fetal incubation for cowpeas is I'M
necessary and in sections of the Mid
die West bacteria which thrive on the
roots of clover and alfalfa are already
present.
Artificial incubation can be accom-
plished by spreading soil from we'll
established field, where the particular
! legume which is to be grown has been
successful, upon the new land to be
planted with that legume, and also by
the use of pure cultures of the proper
bacteria. The U. S. Department OF
Agriculture is prepared to supply
enough of the pure culture to inocu-
late one bushel of seed, and this cul-
ture can be obtained in bottles which
contain complete directions for use
Application blanks for these cultures
may be obtained from the Depart
ment at Washington, D. C. Pure cul-
ture can also be obtained, either free
or aat small cost, from the Lexington
Experiment Station.

Plant That Garden Now.

Now is the time to plant that gar
den if you have not already planted
it. More than ever are we convinced
that food will help to win this war.
Food prices are constantly soaring and
the only way to meet the situation
is to produce more food. 1t is said
that private householders in Los An
geles county planted 5000 home gar
dens last year and raise dover q
100000 worth of vegetables. Because
of the heavy increase of food prices
over last season, campaign is under
way to induce the householders of the
same county to raise at least $3,000,-
900 worth of vegetables this year. Our
soldiers need beef, mutton, pork, flour
and sugar. If we eat more vegetables
we will save these foods for our fight
ing forces. There is no food more
healthful during the warm dry months
than delicious, succulent vegetables.
They contain valuable mineral salts
necessary for the building of bone and
muscle. And what work is more en-
joyable or healthful than working in
a garden? 1t gives vigor to the
