Clear Roads for Dispatch Bearer.

After grazing upon the auto truck
cover of q recent issue a Saddened and
cynical reader wrote to Golfers Week
ly:
"YOu have made a great mistake.
You have placed all the army trucks
on the side of the road, leaving ample
room for trucks going in the opposite
direction to travel without going down
in the ditch. My experience with army
motor trucks is that they always trav-
ell on the crown of the road, and when
you see one on the side of the road you
can figure that it is broken down."
Golfers replied: "Be this observa-
ton true or not, there is one being be-
fore whom even the ruthless and dis
dainful truck driver quails-the dis
patch rider There is no more soul
satisfying sight for a harassed pedes-
trian in the French war zone than that
of dispatch motorcycle shooting down
q road at 80 miles an hour, with a
twO-mile line of motor trucks and staff
cars scuttling hastily into the bitches
to get out of the way"

AIR PROGRAM is SLOW
Senator New of Indiana Urqes
Speed in Work.
Declares Only 81 of Intended 10000
Airplanes VIII Have Reached
France by July 1.

Washington, March 27.-Senator
New, Republican, of Indiana, speak
ing in the senate, declared that in
stead of 1900 combat airplanes be-
ing delivered In France by July l, as
provided in the original airplane pro-
gram, the number will amount to
only 81.
Il agree that this Is not the time to
discourage the American people," said
Senator New, discussing the airplane
situation, ''but this Is no more the
time to mislead the American people,
in view of the great task that is ahead
of u.s."
Senator New called attention to a
statement accredited to Secretary
Baker on February 21, quoting him as
saying the first American airplanes
were being sent to Europe five months
ahead of schedule and praising the
progress being made on the Liberty
motor.
Il submit that statement is wholly
misleading and perilously So" said he.
'"The people are entitled to know the
truth. If we can't tell them the truth,
let's don't feed them on statements of
that kind if we are to win this war"
'Have we got one single airplane
in Europe today, or an engine that
can stand the test of a combat ma
chine?" interrupted Senator McCum-
Der.
I'VE have not single combat plane
in France today unless some have
been landed within the last few days"
replied Senator New.
"What was the aircraft program
for July 1 this yeT?" asked Senator
Johnson of California.
81 think that, while l had not in
tended mentioning that, it is fair and
just to say that the program called
for 10000 combat planes by July L."
replied Senator New.
''HoW many will there be delivered
on July II" the California senator
continued
''Thirty-Seven," said Senator New.
Il say there is just one way to cor
rect this outrage on American youth,
and that is through 'pitiless public
ity,'" warmly replied Senator John
son.
The galleries vigorously applauded
the remark, while the chair raped for

HUNS USE TANKS IN DRIVE
Berlin Says Iron Monsters Helped
Drive Haio Back

Berlin, March 27.-German tanks,
reinforced by captured British tanks,
says a semiofficial statement today on
Sundays fighting in the West, 'took
a leading part in breaking the brave
enemy resistance"
Tanks attached to the German di-
vision fighting below st. Quentin stood
the test brilliantly, the statement says,
and their mobility was universally
praised. All the tanks which took
part in the fighting are said to have
returned undamaGed. 1t was mainly
due to their Intervention, the state
ment continues, that the tenacious re-
sistance of the British, especially the
machine-gun nests, was broken quick
ly. Troops manning concrete re-
doubt near Urvillers are reported to
have been Overpowered Immediately
by the tanks.

OUTSIDE PALE OF HUMANITY
Only as Dangerous Reptiles, Is
Opinion of One Writer.

1t is not dishonorable to be q spy.
says the Santa Fe New Mexican. One
Of the Americans we most revere.
whose only regret was that he had but
one life to give to his country, was
shot as a spy. The spy must be most
daring and courageous, must face eX-
traordinary perils, must nave remark
able nerve and resourcefulness.
That, at least, is the conception of
the spy which we had until the Ger
man spy got into the game and made
the word synonymous with all that is
most execrable in treachery and cum
ming, dishonor and all forms of evil. A
spy has come to mean an incendiary
and murderer, an assassin of women
and babies, q pOiSoner Of food and
water, a dynamiter and train wrecller,
a coward and human reptile.
The fate which made Capt. Nathan
Hale immortal is much too good for
the men whom America has sucked
and who have become vipers at the
bosom of their adopted mother. The
sooner government valves charity and
leniency and drops hesitation and half
way measures the better for all con-
cerned
The German who breathes word of
disloyalty should be interned, no mat
ter who he is; the one who cOnspires
against the government or its work
should be promptly put to death. We
are at war The traitor at home helps
kill our boys at the front. Why should
the government parley with him?

REFUGEES ARRIVE IN PARIS
Two Thousand Removed From Battle
Area by Americans.

Paris, March T.-Thousands of ref
ugees from town and villages behind
the British lines are being removed
by the American Red Cross. Thirty
automobile transport vehicles have
been working virtually all night and
day in the period since the German Of
fensive began bringing out the people,
and the transportation department
here has ordered all its available cars
to the British front. Two thousand
refugees have already been brought to
Paris by the Red Gross and either pro-
vided with shelter here or sent to the
homes of relatives or friends in neigh
boring town. They were mostly
women, children and aged persons
who had been awakened by the Red
Cross workers In the early hours Of
Monday morning, taken to the rail-
heads in the Camions and thence
transported to Paris on special trains.
Many of the women and children were
CRYING because they had been sepa-
rated from their relatives and friends.
Among the refugees are small children
from a month to twelve years old, and
people who have reached the age Of
ninety.

LAY BLAME FOR POOR CROPS
Wrong Selection of Seed Often Named
When Preparation of Soil Is
Really the Trouble.

It is not well to blame crop fail
ure on wrong selection of seed,
when the preparation of the field Is
so often the cause. A field planted
with corn where much trash lays bur-
led will too often prove to be nothing
else than placing the grains among
dead and dry vegetable matter under
the ground. There they have no moist
ure nor soil to hasten or cause GER
mination nor to support life; hence
the work and seed both have been lost.
The missing hill theory may be sup
ported, partly, by this fact, and it
seems very reasonable to believe it
has something to do with it instead of
laying the whole blame on something
else.

March Says Publication of Ad-
dresses of U. S. Soldiers
Aids Enemy.
PLAN PROTECTS RELATIVES
General Declares Under Old System
Swarm of Claim Agents Would
Harrass Next of Kin of
Fallen Men.

Washington, March 27.-An official
statement of the war departments rea-
sons for announcing only the names of
american troops killed or wounded in
trance was submitted to the senate
Oy Major General March, acting chief
of staff, with a statement that the de-
partment considers it Of best advan-
tage from all points Of view.
General March said the old system
OF giving addresses and other details,
gave information to the enemy and
brought swarms of claim agents to
harrass the relatives of the men.
The policy of the war department,
General March told the senate, is "to
put In the hands of the nearest rela-
tive or the last friend given by the SOL
uler In his emergency address, prompt
and accurate information concerning
the casualty before anything is given
TO the press and to prevent any infOr
nation appearing in the papers which
will be Of any possible assistance to the
German cause"
1.-The old SYSTEM" General March
added, (which gave the date of the
casualty, enabled the Germans to get
exactly what effect was produced upon
our troops in a raid Of that date and
you would be interested to know that
the publication of the emergency ad-
dresses brought down upon the rela-
dEes a swarm of claim agents who
guaranteed they would get from the
government the war risk insurance
which is guaranteed by law to the
proper fnheritor.
Many Made Prey of Agents.
'In spite Of the fact that the de-
partment has in each case advised the
nearest relatives that their claims will
be adjusted by the government and
that they will be furnished the money
that is due them without the interpo-
sitiOn Of claim agents, numbers of poor
people have yielded to the importuni-
ties of these agents and are thereby
deprived of a portion of what Is justly
their due.
1.-The raids which are being conduct
ed along our front are for the purpose
of capturing one soldier, if possible,
with the object of obtaining from him
information about the organization
which is opposed to the German lines
at this point. With the publication of
the address of the nearest relative the
German agent in the United States ap-
proaches the relatives and obtains
from them the information which Ger
many is attempting to obtain from our
front by attacks on our forces In
France they publish no casualty lists
at all and the information reaches the
relatives from the mayor or prefect of
the town where the relatives live, who
is required to communicate the facts
to them verbally.
'The whole matter of a change in
our former method In publishing cas-
ualty lists was brought up by cable
gram from General Pershing, in which
he stated that representatives of the
French government had formally pro-
tested against the methods that were
then Tised."

UNCLE SANS SOLDIERS
BACK Up JOHNNY BULL
HURLEY On SHIPPING
Says SteeI Program Is 28 Per
Cent Complete.
Chairman Of Board Tells Marine
League U. S. Is Building Vessels
on 73O Ways.

New York, March 27.-America's an
sWer to the allied cry for ships was
delivered here by Edward n. Hurley,
chairman of the United States ship
ping board, in an address before the
National Marine league.
Starting with next to nothing, so
unpfepared were we at the outset, we
have added yard upon yard until we
now have 73O ways on which we are
Dulldlng-0r soon can build-shipS.
Ihe vessels are being turned out with
great rapidity and the cumulative re-
suits OF this gigantic program will
steadily become more apparent.
The 73O berths for ship construction
which the United States possesses are
greater in number by 321 than those
III Great Britain. We have the mate
rial with which to build, Mr.. Hurley
indicated ard he prOfessed faith in
labor, at the same time making it
clear that prOfteering would not be
tolerated.
Altogether his message was one Of
confidence and as such was an as
suring reply to the startling statement
of losses made public recently by the
British authorities.
Mr.. Hurley's address in part fol-
lows:
There were 81 steel shipyards in
America at the time Of our entrance
into war. We have located 81 addi-
tional steel and wood yards, while 19
other yards have been expanded. We
are building in the new and expand
ed steel yards 235 new steel ship ways,
or rs more than at present exist in
all of the steel shipyards of England.
Many of these ways have actually
been finished. The new industry we
have created will make America the
greatest maritime nation in the his
tory Of the world.
sThe total amount of our steel con-
structiOn on March l was S,205. .70S
deadweight tons. This is made up of
tract with the Emergency Fleet Cor
poration, and 3,045,4 ,407 deadweight
tons Of requisition vessels.
"Of this total steel construction
2,121 .56S deadWeight tons, or approxi-
mately % per cent has been COM
pleted. That means that in addition
to the building of our big new yards
we have also been building ships.
That is, the program for steel ships
has advanced % per cent toward COM
pletion.
"Of the amount of steel ships under
contract and under raquisitiOn, 655,-
456 deadWeight tons, or approximate
ly per cent, were actually complet-
ed and in service on March 1 of this
year, nearly a month ago. This
amount of floating tonnage exceeds
our total output in 1916, including
steel, wooden and sailing vessels, by
approximately so per cent"

FOES LOSSES 5000 DAILY
Washington Experts Say kaiser's Cas-
ualtieS Total 100000

Washington, March 27. Military
experts of the United States army ex-
pressed the opinion that the German
drive against the British army has
practically reached its limit in a west
erly direction for the present, and that
further immediate efforts by linden
burg's forces will have for their pur-
pose the widening of salients driven
in the British lines nOrtn and south
of Peronne and Baupaume, where, in
the event of a cOunter-attack, they
would be forced to withdraw or suffer
severe losses.
CaIculat tions based on the number of
troops employed and the methods by
which they have been employed, lead
experts to estimate the German losses
at approximately $4,000 men daily
since last Thursday. This would mean
German casualties of 100000 to date.
