PRAISES CAMP CONDITIONS

Dallas CIeX.) News: During the
last three months my business has nee
essit ated me visiting the towns of Eagle
Pass, Loredo, San Antonio. Houston.
Waco, and Forth Worth. | have been
to all these camps, haye interviewed
numerous officers and men. | have
heard none of them make a complaint.
Their camps have been laid out by the
best engineers obtainable. All tents
have wood floors and wood frames to
hold them to proper position The men
have iron beds, spring bottoms, mat
tresseS, quilts and blankets The tents
are at least twice as large as those we
had, and only about five or six men in
each tent. Toilets, bath houses and
sewerage sytems have been installed
In locating camps the closest attention
has been given to water supply and
general health conditions. At San An
tonic one of the best laundries [ have
everIseen has been built.
When one visits the camps and re-
alizes the stupendous undertaking of
constructing them. the speed which
they were constructed and compares
them with what he had, he is amazed
beyond measure. Not that the Span
lsh War veterans begrudge any of
those conveniences that were not pro.
vided US; we are glad to see conditions
as good as they are and hope that no
effort will be spared to improve them
in every way practicable.
AS to the methods of selecting com
missioned officers now as compared with
lack of method in 1898, one is again i'm
pressed with the high ability and fair
ness with which this work is carried
on. Certainly none of those who held
responsible positions in the government
in 1898, 1899 and 1900 has any right to

THE PACIFIC ISLANDS

But the success for the moment Of
German ambition is no good reason why
allies should be seized with panic, or
allow themselves to take shOrtsighted
and hasty action in the far east. The
latest reports seem to indicate that
Great Britain, France and Italy are
giving their assent to Japanese inter.
vention in Siberia. The situation is. of
course, delicate and difficult, which is
all the more reason that it should be
honestly faced. Japan, will, no doubt
give assurances that her intentions do
not include aggrandizement, and these
assurances may at present be entirely
sincere. The formula is, of course, the
protection of vital interests. To safe.
guard the stores at Vladivostock from
German seizure is the merest nonsense.
That the Germans will cross Siberia to
the Pacific Coast is contingency suffi-
GENTLY to allow time to meet it. If tho
occupationis is carried out, the expansive
policy of Japan is most likely to assert
Itself. 1t may be that this policy has
jurisdiction, that there Siberia regions
that can we'll be settled by Japanese.
out this does not appear to he the mo-
ment to act on that principle, and the
allies should express the grave princi.
pie, and the allies should express the
doubts that they feel. The cynic may
may say that this is the moment for
which Japan has been waiting, that her
imperial policy dictates three steps: to
secure free hand in China; to fix her
grip upon the Pacific Islands to the
south; and to occupy Eastern Siberia.
The cynic may farther assert that jap
ese Imperialism is a natural ally Of
German Imperialism, and that when the
two meet they will meet as allies to
divide helpless Russian empire. But
the cynic, especially if he be Japanese
or German, is proceeding upon the false
assumption that the Russian Empire
IS another Ottoman Empire, broken.

the contrary, RUSSIA ls so yltally youth.
full that she does not know how to vent
her energy. No greater mistake could
be made than to suppose that the giant
is dead or has suffered more than mo-
ment's disablement. Ii it is the inten.
ton of Japan to act in good faith with
her western allies, it is surely possible
to secure the assent and cooperation
of the Russian people. This is not
a matter of this month or this year.
Up to the present there is evidence that
our government does not intend to be
party to the Siberian occupation. II
liz must be done, let those who believe
it necessary take the responsibility.

AMERICAN AND GER
MAN EFFICIENCY

The seercissight of war has brought
out many interesting facts, and one
of these is that the vaunted German
efficiency will not always stand the
test of comparison with American
efficiency.
The Germans boasted of being the
greatest farmers on earth. Investi.
cation shows that in efficiency in az
riculture, measured by the produce
per acre, America being graded 100,
Belgium leads the world at 205; Great
Britain comes second at 1854; and
Germany third at l55. America comes
fourth.
But the better test is the man test
rather than acre test, and here
America leads the world by over to
1. Again, grading America at 100
per farm worker, Great Britain pro
dnces 43 and Germany Al. The Amer.
lean farmer cultiyates 27 acres, the
German farmer but 7. With the aid
of vast quantities of fertilizer the
German produces more per acre, but
he produces at a much greater cost
per bushel and be produces much less
than half as much per man.

FARMERS MAY BE
DEPENDED UPON

The war has served to exhibit to
the country at large, as the country
never quite realized before, its de-
pendence upon agriculture and the
manifold problems which beset our
primary industry There is reason
to believe therefore that during the
coming year agriculture will have the
active sympathy and cooperation of
ali citizens and classes who are in
position to render aid. The farmers
of the United States will not fail to
do al that they can in this emergency
and, with favorable seasons, they
will produce enough to sustain the
civil population 10 keep our army
and navy in full fighting vigor, and
10 supplement the depleted resources
of the allies Every facility that the
department of agriculture can com
mand TO assist them Will be freely
placed at their disposal.

BAKERS MOVEMENTS TO
BE WATCHED CLOSELY

Washington, d. c., March l1.-Safe
arrival in Paris, France, of Secretary
Baker and his party having been for
mally announced today by the navy
department, press reports about his
movements on the other side are be-
ing watched closely here, Many off
cials think it possible that the story
of his activities, if permitted to pass
the censor, will throw interesting
light upon object of his mission to
The theater of war.
Emphasis laid by the war depart
ment upon the fact that Mr.. Baker s
trip was purely military pilgrimage,
without diplomatic Significance, has
directed attention 10 the known de.
sire Of President Wilson to see an
energetic campaign waged by the
allies. With American troops hold
ing q constantly increasing sector of
The battle lines, the wishes of the
Washington government undoubtedly
will have even greater weight than
heretofore with the allied chieftains.
Secretary Baker will be able to learn
first hand from Gen. PershiDg the
Judgment of that officer on all that is
going on in France. He will also get
views, founded on long continued OBJ
servatioD, as to the French and Brit
ish war machines.
1t is assumed here that the secre.
tary is gathering just such informa-
ton for the president, and he will be
able to give as we'll as receive inn

CONDITIONS OF
ARMY BEST IN WORLD

The honest truth is that the health
condition of the American army, not
wlthstanding they have gone through
the most severe winter of half cen
,ury, is by far the best of that of any
other army in the world.
The death rate from disease per
annum of the American troops is s
soldiers out of thousand.
In the Spanish-American war the
death rate per annum of the Ameri-
can army from disease was 25 soldiers
out of d thousand.
In the China Japanese war the death
rate per annum from disease was Is
soldiers out of thousand.
In the Russo japanese war the
death rate per annum from disease
was 30 out of 8 thousand. Extract

This is the urgent request of the Bur.

total to be collected under the war

dividual income taxes alone is 1866,
100000. The vast majority of these
payments will be small amounts. If
paid as requested it will avoid the
