Clearing the Salient.

his ambitions when he besieged the
citadel of Vefdun and threw away the
lives Of hundreds Of thousands Of his
men, just so he again has been shown
the utter futilty of his dreams Of cap
turing Paris. On this date he hoped
to be indulging in riotous gayety with
an army of occupation. Instead he is
drawing his armies to the north, his
ranks riddled and his military leader
ship discredited. His efforts were split
upon the rock of glorious French and
American resistance. His retreat from
the Marne is forced by the allies deter
mined, co-ordinated striking power.
The crown prince will think once again
before he sets out to capture the
French capital. Ghosts Of the past
may forever in the future stay his
hand.
The military situation today below
Rheims and Scissors is one to stir ex-
treme rejoicing throughout the world.
The ahied armies have regained fully
half of the ground achieved by the
Germans in two Of their great often
sives. The Teutonie command has
found positions within the arc Of the
salient resting on the Marne absolute
" untenable, and as a result Of the
constantly increasing assaults of allied
forces has begun systematic retro
grade movement. The allies have
struck their greatest blow in recent
days by paralyzing Germanic effort in
the capture of Fere-en-Tardenois, q
vital Communication center. Not con-
tent, they still press ON.
The operations Of the past two days
have definitely proved that the Ger
mans must clear practically every foot
Of the salient The river Oureq, along
which the Germans were e1peeted to
make a determined stand, is no longer
tenable, owing to the capture Of Fere-
en-Tardenois, and the fact that al
Lied guns dominate the whole region
along the river. The German COM
nand must find definite line still
farther north. The Crise river, flowing
to the southeast of Scissors, and the
Ardre, southwest of Rheims, may af-
ford the first chief defensive positions,
but that they will be but temporary is
indicated by the fact that allied ar
thlery dominates practically the full
length of each.
The Frsnco-American grip win be
stronger within the next two days If
the present drive keeps up at its rate
of progress. There is every reason to
believe that the Germans cannot make
their final stand short Of the River
Vesle, which runs from Rheims to the
region Of Scissors. When the Ger
mans reach this point the salient will
have been eliminated and Germanie
arms once more discredited, with far
reaching results, conditions certain to
react in the interest Of the allied cause
and undermine German courage and
szmy morsle-
The French and Americans are fight
ing vici0usly. That no quarter is
shown is demonstrated by tho fsct that
prisoners being taken are fsw when
compared to the numbers Of men en-
gaged and tire general chsraetsr Of the
operations Thirty thousand saptves

numher compared with the scope Of

hope Of complete supremacy over the

PRESS sEDlTIoN BILL.
Senate Voting on Amendments in Effort
to Hasten Final PASSAGE,

Washington. April 9.-In an effort to
hasten disposal Of tie sedition BILL
Furnishing disloyal dtterances and
those intended to impede the army
draft and liberty loan, voting was be-
gun today on amendments by the SEN
ate. Another effort for final vote to-
day was made but Senator Reed, of
Missouri, objected.
The senate rejected an amendment
by Senator Francis. of Maryland, pro-
posing that nothing in the bill should
impair the liberty Of individuals to
publish or speak what was true with
good motives"
Enactment Of the measure with the
least possible delay was urged by Sen
ator Overman, who declared that SEN
timent is very much aroused because
Of delay in passing this bill"
Just before the unanimous consent
agreement was proposed Senator Nell
son, of Minnesota, presented petitions
from citizens in his state asking that
the spy laws be amended so as to pro-
tect the soldiers.
A statement attributed to George
Creel. chairman of the committee on
public information, that he would "be
glad to his dying day that this country
was unprepared for war;" was at
tackled.
what do you think of an official
who would make such statement"
Senator Sherman asked.
1T is worthy of nothing but con-
tempt" Senator Penrose said, as it
betrays such lack Of common sense.

Iowa Farm News and Notes

Home vegetable gardens are being
planted prematurely in some commune
tiles in the northern, part Of the United
States, according to advices to the
United States department of agricul-
ture. From Iowa comes information
that people are buying seed and plant
ing them when there is still probable
ity Of freezing. This haste Is plant
ing, it is believed, results from Ill
considered gardening advice sent over
the country by private agencies.
The department Of agriculture urges
that inexperienced gardeners make
themselve absolutely sure Of the safe
planting dates. They should consult
with others more experienced, should
ascertain the probable frost-free date
from the nearest station of the United
States weather bureau, or should write
to the gardening specialists OF tho de-
partment Of their state colleges. Lati-
tude is not a guide as the earliest
safe. date for one locality might be
premature or even late for another on
the same parallel.
In connection with the danger Of
early planting, the departments spe-
cialists point out that seed planted
too early serves no useful purpose.
Seed is scarce this year and there ID
use for every ounce of it, they say.
The home gardener who plants too
early loses not only his time. trouble,
and money. but reduces the potential
food stock Of the nation. :
Gsrden crops are divided into four
groups witt respect to planting the
seeds or setting out the plants.
Group l (may be planted two weeks
before last killing frost)-Early cab
bage plants from hotbed or seed box.
radishes, collards, onion sets. early
smooth peas. kale, early potatoes, tur-
nips and mustard.
Group 2 (may be planted about the
date Of the last killing frost)-Beets,
parsnips, carrots, lettuce, satisfy,
wrinkled peas. caulifower plants. eel
cry seed. onion seed, parsley, sweet
corn, and Chinese cabbage.
Group (should be planted two
weeks after last killing frost)-Snap
beans, okra, and tomato plants.
Group (can not be planted until
ground is well warmed up. about a
month after last hard frosts)-Lima
beans, pepper plants. egg plant Gu
cumbers, melons, squash, and sweet
potatoes.

Give the Pasture q Chance.

b.
Now that the pasture season V
nearly at hand 1t Is we'll to give the
pasture some consideration. It Is just
as important to pay strict attention to
pasture grass in summer as to winter
feeds in winter.
One of the most common mistakes ID
regard to pastures is turning in stock
too early in the spring before the grass
has gotten good start. This year,
especially when feeds are so high in
price. the temptation to turn cattle On
grass early, is stronger than ever But
by doing this we will defeat our own
purpose and will not obtain the great
est amount Of feed possible. If we wish
to obtain the greatest use from our
pastures. it will pay us to wait week
or two before allowing the cattle to
craze on the new short green grass.
Give the grass a chance to do some
thing for itself by allowing It a. good
start. Then when the hot summer
months come there will still be good
grazing and the pastures will mot be
burned out.
Early gren grass is probably not as
nouffshing as the older grass and
cattle will necessarily have to eat
much more of it. 1t is therefore better
to keep cattle on their winter rations
a couple Of weeks longer before allow
ing them a taste Of grass. 1t is cheaper
in the long run.
How many times. too, we see about
twice as many cows in pasture as
there are acres, and as a result, the
pasture in the summer months be-
comes short to the extent that the
cows have to work overtime in order
to get a square meal and then don't
always find it.

MUST TURN CLOCKS AHEAD.
People Who Ignore Daylight La
Liable to Prosecution.

Cedar Rapids, April 9.-That per-
sons who refuse to abide by the new
daylight saving law are liable to severe
punishment is the ruling made here in
federal court by Judge Henry T. Reed.
On Saturday a delegation Of business
men from Clarence, town east of
here, came to Cedar Rapids and
filed a protest with Deputy United
States Marshal M. L. Healy, de-
claring that the Rev. NJ r. Smith,
pastor Of the Methodist church at
Clarence, had refused to accept the
new order setting clocks ahead one
hour. According to their state
ments, the minister says the plan is
only another fad and that he would
refuse to recognize it
70 The matter was brought before
Judge Reed and he held that the
Rev. Mr.. Smith could be prosecuted
unless he complied with the law.
Deputy Marshal Healy called up
the minister and warned him
against persisting in refusing to obey
the mandate of the government in re-
gard to the new time.

SHEEP KILLING DOGS A MENACE.
Need For More Wool and Mutton
Make. Prevention Necessary.


Make. Prevention Necessary.
To meet the menace Of the sheep
killing dog, which Is recognized as
one Of the greatest htndrances to NUT
ton and wool production in the United
States, several methods are suggested
in Farmers Bulletin 935, The Sheep
Killing Dog" issued by the United
States department of agriculture. Uni
form state dog laws are advocated as
probably the best method, and digest
of existing state laws and the COM
plete text of two satisfactory laws
Chose of Pennsylvania and West Viz
ginia) are given in the bulletin. The
use Of dog-proof fences is suggested
and the cooperation Of owners OF
dogs is said to be important.
The war needs Of the United
States and the allies make it imper-
alive that the number Of live stock be
substantially increased" says the bull
letin. 'The whole Of Europe Is con-
tending with shortage Of all classes
OF live stock and is facing problem
in the supply Of farm animals that will
not be solved for years after the war
is over. The entire world is in need
OF wool and it will take some time
after peace is declared to restock the
world trade The need Of an increased
meat supply and the necessity Of a
greater wool supply should make the
sheep one of the most profitable OF
farm animals.
Men who have entered into the
sheep business and have failed to find
the keeping Of sheep profitable. agree
that one Of the greatest causes for
their discouragement has been the
sheep killing dog. Thousands Of sheep
are ruthlessly killed each year by dogs.
causing a monetary loss to sheep own
ers of over 100000 annually. The
greatest setback Of all that the dog
causes to the farm industry as a
whole, consists in keeping out OF the
business men who are otherwise In
clired to go into 1t.

fact that the market was so near the
