Tobacco Culture in Europe

r INDICATIONS are that tobacco will
be grown on an increased scale in
France and Italy and perhaps in
other European countries when
peace comes to the world, and it is like
ly that even during the progress of the
war more land will be given over to
tobacco in France and Italy than for
merly. The Italian government, in or
der to encourage the cultivation of to-
bacco, provided in its late budget for
giving assistance in money, under cer-
tain stipulations, to planters. Pre-
miums were offered for the cultivation
Of tobacco on condition that the usual
area cultivated in cereals should not
be diminished. 1t was also decided
that tho Italian government should
cooperate to the maximum amount Of
eight-tenths in the total expense for
"the construction or adaptation of
premises for curing and keeping to-
bacco, these premises to be propor-
tionate In size to the area under culti-
vation."
Tobacco has come to be regarded as
q military necessity. Soldiers who
were tobacco users while in civil life
demand it, and demand larger quanti-

and Italy in their civil and military
populations have suffered from q
shortage of tobacco--a shortage due
to the difficulties of ocean transit and
to the remarkable increase in the de-
mand for tobacco in those countries.
Tobacco fields in Italy and France
are not novelty. The leaf has been
grown In those countries since the in
PRODUCTION of tobacco from the West
Indies in Columbian times, but it's
cultivation dwindled because of the
ease with which supplies could be OBJ
tained from those parts of the world
where tobacco culture is a chief in
dustry because of some peculiar
adaptability Of the soil and climate
and the familiarity of labor with its
cultivation and curing. 1t is very
likely that there were patches of to-
bacco growing in the gardens and on
some of the farms of Spain, Italy and
France before the jamestown settlers
began the systematic cultivation and
export Of the plant. There are au-
thorities which go to prove that the

most significant action that has been
taken in any town since the anti-Hears,
sentiment began to spread over the
United States
This resolution seeks new law
which would be capable of coping with
disloyal newspapers, if the present
statutes are inadequate. The resolu-
tion makes all loyal Bronxville citizens
judges of the Hearst newspapers and
asks them, If they find those publica.
tlons disloyal, not only to help bar the
papers from Bronxville, but also per.
sonally to ask their representatives, to
provide new law through which the
publication Of dislcy;l newspapers can
be suppressed.
In addition the resolution urges the
suppression of all papers printed in the
German language.
The Loyal League. $50 strong, is
composed of the leading citizens of
Bronxville. The resolution follows:
whereas. at this time of grave ma
tional peril it is the plain duty of all
clear, unequivocal acts and language.
and to discourage and repudiate all
acts and language that may in the
slightest manner give aid. assistance
or encouragement to the enemies of
our country; and
Whereas. we, the executive board of
the Loyal League of Bronxvil'e. are
firmly Of the opinion that the distribu-
| tion of newspapers or other publica-
tions printed in the German language
is unnecessary to the enjoyment of the
privilege of American citizenship and
is fraught with grave danger, as afford
ing direct medium for the spread of
German propaganda to the hurt of the
nation; be it
Resolved, That we do hereby urge
upon our citizens and other persons
loyal to this nation a..d it's flag that
they refrain from purchasing any news
paper or other publication printed in
She German language and that we urge
upon our representatives now in Con-
gress assembled that they Immediately
take such steps as may lead to the re-
fusal by the United States Postoffice to
transmit any such newspaper or pub
llcation through the mails; and
"Whereas, there are certain news
papers published and known as the
, Hearst newspapers, with respect to
which serious and grave charges have
been made that they are not published

"Reso!ved, That we request and urge
all loyal citizens to themselves examine
into this question and that, having so
examined. if they find the charge gus

lies to discourage the publication and

'Haworth League Calls
Editor to State Why
Hearst Ad Wasn't Marked

HAWORTH, N. j., June 19--The Ha-
worth Home Defence League, which
has succeeded in reducing the local
circulation of Hearst's New York
American" to five copies a day, has
appointed committee to ask the edi-
tor of "The Saturday Review" of Ber-
genfield, to explain certain articles in
defence of Hearst which recently ap-
peared in his paper.
The Defence Leagu~ wants to know
whether the editor received pay for
publishing the defence of Hearst. and
IL he received pay. why he did not
designate the matter an advertisement
so that readers might not mistake it
for news or reading matter.
Newspapers in neighboring towns
which printed the Hearst defence
plainly marked the article an advertise
ment. AS the defence league members
understand it, the law requires that
newspapers mark such matter as an
advertisement.
In advance ;of the committees visit
NJ. 0. Jones, jr, editor of "The Re-
view," stated that the Hearst defence
was q paid advertisement. He said he
considered the Hearst matter SO pal.
pably an advertisement that it was not
necessary to mark 1t as such.
However, defence league members
were in doubt as to whether it was q
paid advertisement or not.

He added that his paper, editorially
had taken no stand, one way Of an
other, in regard to Hearst newspapers

M. Kinney asserted the Hearst
Menken affair would cause American
editors to lose confidence in the Ma
tional Security League.
Newspapers all over the country
have published literally of the pub
licity matter which the National Secur-
ity League sent out" said Mr.. Kinney.
"We editors accepted the leagues
press matter on its face value.
"But the fact that the president Of
the National Security League per-
mitted himself to be drawn into the
meshes of Mr.. Hearst will cause edi-
tors to lose confidence in the league
unless the league cleans house. l, for
one editor, will print no more of the
leagues publicity matter until it does
clean house."

ly accept for publication any matter
emanating from the National Secur ty
League until I have the as furance h t

Brooklyn Gree Thinker
Stays Grocer; Shoots at
All in Sight

Benjamin Kastashner, who was wait
ing on several women customers in his
brothers grocery store, at 276 Chris
topher Avenue, Brooklyn, looked up and
nodded pleasantly yesterday morning
when a pale young man entered and
tried to catch his eye. He recognized
the visitor as William Orenbach, stu
dious and erratic youth of somewhat
peculiar notions, whose home was just
above the grocery store and whose
family were old friends of the grocer,s
family.
Just minute" said Kastashner,
"Your turn will come in moment
"Your turn has come now" said
Orenbach, pushing the customers aside
and steadying his right hand on the
counter. You insulted my mother!"
The hand resting on the counter held
revolver. Kastashner reached for
the weapon. There was a report and
the grocer pitched forward. A woman
screamed and Orenbach rushed through
the little knot of customers to the
street.
ohrleklng women rushed to the door
and In moment crowd gave chase
to Orenbach. At Thatford Avenue
Jacob Sehrenick, of 81 Bristol Street.
stepped out of paint store, laden with
buckets, brushes and ladder. lust as as
the hue and cry sounded down the
street. He put down his burden and
turned to see Orenbach, revolver in
his hand, almost upon him. Orenbach
fired. Sehrenick crumpled with bull
let In his abdomen. The chase went
son.
Jacob Lipschitz, streetcar conduc-
tor. made a lunge at the fugitive, but
quickly veered away when bullet
whizzed past his head. Orenhach
turned into Osborne Street just as De-
ken Avenue from the opposite direc-
tion. He seized Orenbach, and the re-
volver was discharged as they fell in
the scuffle.
The crowd and two patrolmen who
had Joined the chase tackled both fpht-
ers impartially, and Cohen was treated
as roughly as Orenbach before he could
make his identity known. Kastashner
died an hour later in Kings County
Hospital. Sehrenick is in critical con-
dition in st. Mary's Hospital.
Orenbach was locked up in r..
Brownsville police station. He ia
twenty-one years old and for wears has
been student of socio ogy, socialism
and ph'ios ply: Recently he had been
studying for admission to q dental col
!ege.
He told the police he was "free
thinker" and said Kastashner had at-
tempted to poison his family. Investi-
CATION showed there was no foundation
for either the poison" or the "insult"
charge. Orenbach has been regarded
as peculiar. but there was no suspicion
his mind was affected.

gling pair at Osborne Street and Pi.kin

Security League Stands Pat
On Its Attack on Hearstism
Chairman of subcommittee Declares Publisher Is Digging
Own Grave'-Members Agree Menken Alone
Must Decide if He Is to Retire as President

seen yesterday there was absolute
unanimlty IN declaring sympathy for
MIR. Menken, because of the position
he finds himself in as result of his
Hearst statement. All of these gave
Mr., Menken high praise for the work
he has done since the organization of
the league
Colonel Lydccker, speaking Of this
phase of the matter, chat Mr.. Menken
has worked nights, days and Sundays
tor the league and accomplished work
that probably no other man of my
acquaintance could have accomplished
His has been real, constructive work
end no one can regret more than he
the great tactical error his desire to
be absolutely fair and above board
with everybody led him to commit"
According to other officers of the
league Mr.. Menken was leader of
those members of the executive COM
Hearst prior to the forced action of
| Tuesday.
Mr.. Menken's rule has been to be as
patriotic as possible without offending
anybody it was possible to avoid Of
Tending" said one of these. "He has
felt as kcenly on Hearst as any one, but
he believed that affairs were going we'll
enough without making any direct at
tack on him."
Two Members Resign
The clerical staff of the league was
busy yesterday sending out copies of
the minutes Of Tuesdays meeting to
the 28l members of the league. The
minutes carry no recommendation to
the branches as to what action they
may take in the matter.
There is nothing unusual about
this" it was explained at is the Gus
tom. There is no doubt as to the ac-
tlon the subordinate branches will take.
In fact. great many of them have
gone on record by active opposition to
Hearst and all of his works, and it is
safe to predict the majority at least of
the others will follow"
Two letters of resignation were re-
celved by the league yesterday as re-
suit of the publication or Mr. Menxen )
statement in the Hearst papers. Both
were mailed before the executive COM
mittee had met to act in the matter.

to oppose any attempt at the London
conference to include German and
Austrian delegates at later confer
ence, which is to be revival of the
Stockholm conference project of last
year and is to be held in July or
August in Berne, Switzerland.
Carry Strong Credentials
In the event that the London con-
ference agrees to admit Central Power
Socialists to the Berne conference the
American delegates are to "stand for
the admission of only those German
and Austrian Socialists who favor the
overthrow of Teutonlc autocracy."
incidentally Mr.. Spargo ana mis- fell
low delegates, who bear letters from
, Secretary Lansing and Secretary Baker,
are to confer with J. P. Troelstra, the
Dutch Socialist leader, who has been in
touch with German Socialists. Mr.
Troelstra is to be questioned concern
ing the strength of the pacifist element
in Germany and the possibility of en-
couraging any incipient revolt against
autocracy in the Teutonic countries.
Dispatches from Amsterdam yesterday
said that Mr.. Troelstra already was in
conference with Austrian Socialists and
with Philip Scheidemann, the Ger
man majority Socialist leader, who has
arrived in Amsterdam,
Will Meet kerensky
The four American delegates are to
be joined in London by Charles Ed
ward Russell aud George d. Heron,
who already are there, and later by
Frank Bohm, OF New York. They ex-
pect to meet Alexander Kcrensky, for
merly Premier of Russia, either in Lon
don or Stockholm. They learned be-
fore leaving America that Kerensky,
who has been in Stockholm, probably
would attend the London meeting.
The trip is to include visits to
France, Italy, Switzerland and Russia.
MIR. Spargo carries a letter by Secre-
tary Baker to General Pershing sug-
gesting that he be permitted to address
the American soldiers in France. In
both Italy and France the Americans
expect to address radical groups who
are said to be "war weary" and dis
posed to encourage pacifsm. Mr.,
Spargo said he proposed to tell these
radicals that the radicals in America
were determined the war shall be
fought until Germany is defeated.

Special Permit Issued
1t was learned that Mr.. Lansing. af.
ter consulting with President Wilson
issued a special order to enable the
delegates to depart without the delas
usual in obtaining passports. The au
thorities thus reversed their position
of year ago, when they refused pass
ports to Morris Hillauit and Aigernor
Lee, who desired to attend the Soc;alis,
conference in Stockholm. Severa
months ago James H. Maurer, presi
