RABBIT RAISING URGED
 10 HELP MEAT SUPPLY
British Government Encourages Bunny Raising to Help Out
 Meat Shortage.

LONDON.-Rabbit breeding in England has been undertaken by the government in an effort to relieve the shortage of meat due to the war. The National Utility Rabbit Asso- ciation,it was announced recently, has established a central breeding station and stud exchange in Vaux- hall, London. The first club started in London under auspices of the association is at the Royal News, Buckingham Palace.
 The primary object is to build up as quickly as possible a large supply of the best pedigree stock, which will be sent to provincial breeding centers. These in turn will supply breeding stock to smaller stations.
 Each of the larger provincial centers will have one hundred breed ing does while the smaller stations will keep on hand about twenty each It is the hope of officials that all allotment societies, food production organizations, women's institutes and many factories, munition works schools and summer camps will form rabbit clubs to be affiliated to the national association.

AMERICANS ARE SENT ID ENGLAND
 ID CONVALESCE

LONDON.-Convalescent Ameri- can soldiers from the battle-fields of France and Flanders soon will be familiar sights on the streets of London. Already many of the American wounded are being cared for in hospitals here, but plans are being made to bring all or practi- cally all across the Channel. Those declared unfit for further duty will be sent back to the United States as rapidly as possible and the question of sending over for the later stages of convalescence those whose complete restoration is certain but which will require many months is understood to be under consid- eration.
 The medical department of the army took steps in June to establish two more base hospitals at English ports and to increase the facilities at those now in operation, and the Red Cross is prepar;''g to open a 5000 bed hospital.
 The largest hospital now used by the American army is one in France, equipped to care for $500 patients.
 As part of the plan for restor- ing the wounded in England instead of France there has been placed at the head of the American army's medical department here a gener :. officer, General Winter.
 One of the reasons for the de- cision to bring the American wound ed here for treatment was the con viction that recovery in many case: would be hastened by the absence from the depressing proximity tt the battlefronts, and that the nel would become fit for active servic. in less time if in the environment of a people speaking their owr language.

GERMAN TEXTILE MILLS
 CAUSE OF MUCH CONCERN

NEW YORK.-Four-fifths of the textile plants of Germany were idle in May and the misery prevailing among the working men was daily increasing, declared Deputy Kraet- zig, socialist, in the German Reich stag, according to the Berlin Vor- Waerts. "The textile industry is paralyzed said the deputy. "A feeling bordering on desperation pre- vails among the workers.
 The textile operatives he continued had been further alarmed by the or ganization of syndicate to merge all the mills manufacturing the new cellulose yarn. Such promising article he declared should not be- come monopolized by small group

MICHIGAN VOTERS MUCH CONFUSED
 BY CANDIDATES

DETROIT. Developments that find no precedent in the political history of the state have given Mich igan's primary campaign this year an unusual interest which centers largely in the race for the senatorial nomination. The primary election will be held August 27.
 The Democrats in state confer ence precipitated situation that promises to upset early calculations. The conference endorsed Henry Ford, as Democratic candidate for the senatorial nomination, despite the fact that he had been regarded as a Republican possibility, and in- vited the Republicans to unite with them in supporting him. Then came Ford's announcement, after a con ference with President Wilson, that he would accept the nomination if 1t were rendered him. He did not speify, however, whether he would make the race as a Republican or Democratic candidate, and the situ- ation was further complicated. The actin of the Democratic state conference has been denouced by Michigan Republicans as an attempt to split their party. Chase. s. Os- born, former governor and a can didate for the Republican senatorial nomination, has declined flatly to accept the Democratic proposal that he with two other Republican can didates withdraw from the race, and has indicated his intention of making a vigorous campaign. Fred M. Warner, also a former governor, who had announced his candidacy withdrew from the race, but coupled with his withdrawal statement supporting Ford as the Republican, but not the Democratic candidate.
 Truman H. Newberry, who served in Roosevelt's cabinet, is the other Republican mentioned for the nom- ination. Mr. Newberry has never made a direct avowal of his candi- dacy, but the Newberry campaign committee has announced it's inten- tion of making a vigorous campaign in his behalf.
 MT. Ford has had nothing to say since his statement that he would accept the nomination if rendered him. It is understood he will make no campaign. Should his name go on both Republican and Democratic tickets at the primary, under the law, he must choose within five days after canvass of the ballots the ticket on which he will seek election
