MENACE AMBASSADOR FRANCIS
Pctrogthd Anarchists Nuke Threat
Against u. s. Official.

Washington, Jan. 0.---Ambassa-
dor Francis at Petrograd cabled the
State Department to-day that group
Of Russian anarchists had notified
him he woul d be held responsible for
the safety of Alexander. Berknan
and Emma Goldman, under prison
sentence in the United States for vio-
lating the draft law.
No indication as to the probable
power Of the threatening anarchists
to make trouble for him was given
by the ambassador. State Depart
ment officials think he did not take
the matter very seriously and appar-
entity little alarm is felt here.
Unless further advices make 1t
necessary no instructions will be
given Mr. Francis. 1t has been known
for some time that anarchists in Pet
rograd were interesting themselves
in the fate Of Berkman and Miss
Goldman, who are about to begin
two-year terms in Federal peniten-
tiary. An anarchist organ published
at Petrograd recently carried an in
flammatory article urging that the
American ambassado dor be held respon-
sible for the safety and freedom of
the prisoners.

PUNISHMENT TOO LIGHT.
Officers Who NIistreat Soldiers Should
Suffer- More Than Dismissal.

Ll Washington, Feb. IA heavier
punishment than mere dismissal from
the service was recommended by the
War Department for two army medi-
cal officers recently convicted by
mourtmartials of mistreating sick
soldiers. After reviewing the rec
ords of the trials Secretary Baker re-
turned them to the trial courts with
the suggestion that sentences of dis
missal be reconsidered and that more
severe penalties be imposed.
One case was that of First Lieut..
John G. Dwyer, medical corps, OH,
hospital duty at Camp Funston. Evi-
dence brought out at his trial showed
that soldier In the advanced stages
Of pneumonia, who reported for treat
ment. was reprimanded for failure to
it was shown that the doctor urged
that the sick man, who died few
days later, be given double duty.
The other case was that Of First
LlSul. SldS. w. SOlC, ShlIp DSdulC-
gard, La, in charge OF the base hos
pital. An ambulance loaded with
sick men came to the hospital from
the regimental infirmary, it was
shown at the trial. and the officer
kept the men waiting for nearly an
hour outside in the cold and rain be-
| fore he went out to look at them.
When he did go out. it was brought
out that he ordered them taken back
to camp, as he had no room for them.
The ambulance driver told the doctor
that one man In his car was delirious
and might hurt himself or others.
The officer instructed him to tie the
patient up and take him back. Two
Of the patients later died. H..
1t was shown also that while the
base hospital was crowded, the nine
patients could have been cared for.
Secretary Baker has asked Sena-
tor chamberlain for the names Of
officers charged in letters to the Sen
ator, with neglect Of sick men that
the cases may be investigated and
punishment meted out If the officers
are guilty.

farm PROSPERITY
IS HOME MADE
Gan Be Continued Indefinitely In
South II Farmers DO Their Part,
Says Hastings

Atlanta, Ga.-(Special.)- the
present wave Of farm prosperity" in
the South is "home made" and can be
continued indefinitely is the interest
ing statement made recently by II.
G. Hastings, President Of both the
Southeastern Fair Association and the
Georgia Chamber of Commerce. Mr..
Hastings said: "Unthinking people are
very apt to attribute the present wave
Of farm prosperity in the South to the
present high price Of cotton rather
than to It's real cause
NATURALLY, the high price has helped
a great deal, but the real reason for
the money being in the farmers pock-
ct or bank is that when the 1917 cot
ton crop was made the farmer owned
it instead Of owing 1t to supply mer-
chant at the end of the season, as was
usually the case In times past. Never
before had the farmers Of the South
come as close to feeding themselves,
their families and their live stock
from their own acres as in 1917. They
had need Of few store purchases and
made few or no debts.".
"If the 1917 crop had been made on
the old basis Of plant all cotton and
. buy all food at present prices there
would be supply merchant prosperity,
but little or none on the FARMS,
J NATURALLY, the temptation is great
to increase cotton acreage and de-
crease food and grain acreage in 1918.
The man who does it is foolish. The
whole world is short of food and this
condition will not only continue but
get worse as long as the war lasts.
Continued high prices for food is as Ger.
tain as sunrise each morning"
Real money-in.hand farm prosper
! ity Is absolutely dependent on the
growing on ones own acres Of all the
food, meat, grain and forage needed
for home needs. Once that is provid
ed for, every other available acre
can safely be planted in cotton or other
cash crop. The larger part Of the cost
of making cotton or other cash crop Is
in the food, grain and forage consum
ed in making 1t.
These items home made can be
produced at from one-third to one
half the price the merchant charges
and home production of them means
just that much reduction in the cost
OF making the cash crop.
Farm prosperity in the South car
and will be permanent just as long az
our farmers continue their farm oper
ations on home made basis"
