GUT THROATs OF
 FOUR AMERICANS
Atrocity of Germans Is Described In Letter of Salvation Army
 Worker In France.

Chicago, April 5.-A ghastly illus tration of German hatred of Ameri- can soldiers is given in Salvation Army letter made public here today by Adjt. Fletcher Agnew. It was written in France by Adjt. R. c. Star bard, who has charge of Salvation Army hut, to Commander Eva Booth, who turned it over to Adjt. Agnew.
 tsI visited base hospital recently, " says the letter, "and had this story from a sergeant who had passed through one of the raids. The ser eeant was horribly wounded by a grenade, and passed by the Germans as dead Before the sergeant lost consciousness, however, he saw a dozen Germans overpower three American boys and cut their throats from ear to ear, one of the Americans being held by four Germans, who held him while a fifth fairly severed his head from his body.
 ssI have just learned" continues the letter, "that this same company of Americans passed through here today, with their bayonets sharpened like razors, sworn to avenge this awful crime against their comrades.
 ssIt is the work of the enemy bri- gades, known as the Butchers, that makes our blood boil and makes us forget to love our enemies" Adjutant Starbard says. "These are picked brutes for raiding purposes with the purpose of intimidating by frightful- ness"

MAP MAKERS IN
 FRENCH ARMY DO
 A SPLENLID WORK

French Front, April 5.- Cores pondence of The Associated Press Accuracy and efficiency have been made possible for the French artil- lery by the invention of an instru- ment that enables French map-mak- CTS to locate almost exactly an ob- ject within the enemy lines, which has been photographed from an air. plane. In transferring to a map the photographed object, such say, as an enemy battery or munition dump, the margin or error is limited to less than five yards.
 This permits the French artillery to pour it's shells with almost certain aim on to German gun emplacements, trench positions, crossroads, canton ments, railroad lines, aviation camps and other enemy organizations. It is unnecessary for the gunner to have even a distant view of the object he is firing at.
 To take a photograph of the enemy lines from French airplane is an easy matter but to transfer the ob- jects photographed to their exact To- cation on map was for time ex- tremely difficult. This was due to the varying heights and angles from which the airplane observers made their photographs. By the invention of one of the officers attached to the Geographical section this difficulty has been almost eliminated.
 Not only the aerial observation service but other methods of spotting German positions-more especially cannon and machine-gun emplace- ments-are utilized as aids to the work of the military map maker. The flashes of guns as they are fired from the German side form one val uable adjunct to his work but the most important of all is the calcula tion of the speed of the sound of the firing charge of the German shells. This has been brought to basis of such perfection that the guns can

FATE 0F KELLY
 WITH GOVERNOR
Murderer of Herman Harmon VIII Be Executed Unless Governor
 Brough Interferes.
Associated Press Dispatch.

Associated Press Dispatch.
 Little Rock, April 6.-Governor c. H. Brough yesterday received from the clerk of the supreme court . cer- tified copy of the mandate of the court in the case of Chess Kelley of Jackson county, convicted of first de- gree murder, and sentenced b death. Kelley was convicted in the Jackson circuit court for the killing of H. A. Harmon at Newport on the night ofs June g, 1917. The killing occurred in the segregated district of that city. According to the testimony Kelley went to the house with . friend ma found Harmon with . woman with whom he was infatuated. He borrow- ed revolver from his friend and shot Harmon four times. The case WAL ap- pealed to the supreme court, which affirmed the judgment Of the lower court March IS. The verdict in the Jackson circuit court was guilty ox murder in the first degree, as charged in the indictment" and the court im- posed the death penalty. The 1915 legislature passed an act by which the jury in it's discretion may inpose life imprisonment for first degre6 murder instead of the death penalty.
 Kelley contended that the act io roandatorv and rpn11iraS tho i11rv k0 fix the punishment, but the supreme court held that the act only extend ed the privilege to the jury to make this election of punishment and that if the jury does not impose 2 penalty of life imprisonment the punishment fixed by law follows the verdict.
 Kelley's fate now rests with the governor. He may fix the date for his electrocution or reduce his pun- ishment to life imprisonment

now be located with almost absolute accuracy. In fact in recent opera tions it has proved that the system of observation by sound has given successful results in over 80 per cent of instances.
 In every army there is a branch of the Geographical section and each is furnished with complete litho- graphic and zinographic printing plant and skilled workers, photog- raphers and mathematicians. In a very few hours after the receipt of the days observations from all the various sources, dozens of copies of the corrected maps are ready for is- sue to all the staffs of corps, divisions and brigades comprised within the army concerned.
 Nothing is omitted from the maps every church, house, chimney, mill, bridge, road, railroad, group of trees is marked well as every turn and twist of an enemy trench or system of barbed wire entanglements, every stream, ditch, bridge, ford, every path used by supply parties, every point of resistance, organized shell crater, lookout post is shown on the maps. Maps on very large scale are given when an attack is about to be carried out, so that each officer and man par ticipating may know exactly what is in front of him and what he may ex- pect to encounter during his advance.

RED CROSS CARE FOR VICTIMS

Tientsin, Feb. 20. Correspondence of The Associated Press. Five thousand Chinese victims of last all- tumn's floods are being cared for by the American Red Cross Flood Relief committee, under the chairmanship q the American minister, Dr. Paul s. Reinsch, aided by the American troops stationed here, in an imprOvia- ed camp in the edge of the German concession. Protests by certain resi- dents of Tientsin against the dump- ing of these refugees here have been rendered pointless by the efficient ad- ministration of the camp by Colonel r w. P. Wilder which has prevented its becoming menace to thonhealth 04 the community. x Within a tract perhaps five acres | in extent, hundreds of huts have been iconstructed out of reeds and mud for the housing of the unfortunates. Allen White, civil engineer from Iowa, designed the huts, using only material at hand or which could be gathered without cost. They are arr ranged in regular series all facing south, spaces between constituting the streets of miniature village.
 One Chinese man, head of family, is designated in each street as sort of office to look after the residents in his jurisdiction, and he is resonsible i to army officers who inspect the quarters each morning. A cook house, school room, bath-house, hospital, workshop and latrines, all sanitarily constructed out of rough lumber and kept scrupulously clean, complete the refugee village. A careful census IS kept and families are rationed from the cook-house per capita with plain, nourishing food.
 Tn the school room The Associated Press correspondent counted 110 boys from six to ten years ofAage, ranged along lank counters answering the purpose of desks, boring over Chinese primers. The teacher was young Chinese man of perhaps twenty-five. ] Crude and primitive as it all is, on- lv a normal number of cases of ill- ness have occurred in the six months, life of the camp and the refugees ap- pear extremely contented with their lot.
 The daily insection is quite an event in the ssvillage" and all the in habitants gather in the "streets' and watch proceedings with evident in- terest. Babies, scarcely able to walk, stand at attention and salute the offi- cers in imitation of their elders.

NO WHITE BREAD
 AFTER APRIL 13

New York, April 5.-Baking of white bread and rolls will be discon- tinued throughout the United States after April 13, according to an an- nouncement made today at the local office of the Federal Food Board. The order requiring bread and rolls after that date to contain at least 20 per cent of substitutes for flour has not vet been issued from Washington, but is expected any time.
 The announcement was made after a meeting of bakers for the purpose of discussing plans for cooperation with the Food Board in the conserva- tion of flour. The bakers pledged themselves to do all in their power to make it possible for all bakers to meet the emergency by giving each other the benefit of formulas for mak- ing bread, using per centage of ce- reals other than wheat and by prac- tical demonstrations in their own shops or the shops of others.
 It is the plan of the Food Admlnls- tration to send competent bakers to the shops of the big and little bakers to show them in their own places how the new bread can be made.

DEMANDED SAFETY
 OF EMPRESS.
Associated Press Dispatch.

Associated Press Dispatch.
 Petrograd, Aril 6.-One of the first requests put before the Russian dele gates at Brest-Litovsk, according to the Petrograd newspapers, was de- mand from Emperor William for the safe guarding of the former Russian Empress Alexandria Alix. The fol- lowing account of this incident is talk ell from the Wogyn Courier:
 At the first meeting, after the rep resentatives of the Bolsheviki govern ment and the delegates of the Rus sian army had assembled in the large room which had been devoted to the meeting. General von Hoffman with his staff came in. The two par ties bowed to one another and the Russians sat down at the table.
 General Hoffman remained stand ing and addressed them. "I speak to you," he said in stern voice, mot as the representative of the German army, nor of General Hindenburg. l speak to you as the representative of the four Central Powers. request you therefore to stand while you hear what I have to say"
 The members of the Russian dele gation looked at one another, there was little hesitation, and they stood up.
 General von Hoffmann continued: Before proceeding to any negotia- tions respecting an armistice, l think it necessary to make the following statement. Within the area of Rus sia, in circumstances threatening her personal safety, is living most au- gust relative of my sovereign master, the Emperor William, namely Prin- cess Alix, your Emp1e 1ess Alexandria, with all her family.
 sT demand that most decided meas ures be instantly taken for the safe guarding of her person and for her transfer to Germany under reliable guard. I request your immediate re- ply"
 The members of the delegation did not know how to reply, and asked that they should be given time for consideration, and for consultation with Petrograd over their direct wire.
 Scarcely had an interpreter trans lated these words than General von Hoffmann said, with great show of temper, "I demand an instant reply" and struck the table with his fist. "This demand" he continued, lis in the nature of an ultimatum. In the event of your not accepting it, the nc- gotiations will cease forthwith, and hostilities will be at once recom- menced by us."
 There remained nothing for the members of the Russian delegation to do but to give their consent to the demands made.
 The Petrograd correspondent of the London Morning Post asserted in a dispatch sent to London on Febru- arv 22 that "the former Empress Alexandria, as the guardian of her son, is the favorite German candidate for the (Russian) throne"
 Unconfirmed reports that both the former Empress and former Emperor Nicholas were to be taken from To- bolsk, Siberia, to the Ural district were recently received from Petro- grad.

Situated as you are we should proceed
as follows:
Place this land in a combination crop
of rye, vetch and clover. There is no
objection to your adding oats. Our
plan here at the college has been to pro-
vide small amount of green feed for
early spring use through the combina-
ton of various cereals that will grow
during the winter. section is gener-
ally given over to rye. vetch and GRIM
son clover, another to oats, vetch and
crimson clover and a third to wheat,
vetch and crimson clover. These ce-
reals, as you know, mature somewhat in
succession. This affords a better chance
to handle these combination crops in
succession, and also affords US green
feed for a longer period of time. 1t also
has the advantage OF permitting re-
planting of the different sections in sue
cession rather than all at once. II we
have more of any of these crops than
we can use, they make excellent hay
when cut at the right time and properly
handled cured, or any surplus can be
run into the silo and made into an excel
lent quality Of succulent feed. Our plan
has been to SOW about a bushel and a
peck of any of the above-named cereals
with ten to twenty pounds of vetch and
Our experience has demonstrated the
wisdom of early planting. 1t is desir-
able in this section of the state to get
rye started, if possible, by the first of
September, and oats and yetch should,
as a rule, be planted by November /.
You probably can plant thirty days later
in the southern part of Georgia, than in
the northern section. Early planting.
however, generally insures your ability
to secure the land for a second crop
sooner than would otherwise be practl-
cable. 1t has been our practice to use
about 800 pounds Of acid phosphate I'M
der crops of this character and about
100 pounds of some organic carrier of
nitrogen such as cottonseed meal. The
application of five tons of well-rotted
manure would be very helpful to crops
