Colonel Leroy Springs chairman
for Lancaster county of the United
War Work campaign, has received
the following telegram:
"Following telegram received
from DR.. Mott with request to relay
same to you:
United conclusion of the United
War Work campaign committee is
that no matter how near or how dis
tant permanent peace may be, the
long period of rehabilitation and the
period which will precede demobili-.
zutiUn viii present create" need than
ever for the servi 'es of the seven CO.
operative organizations and there
fore that the requested oversubscrip-
tion of fifty per cent is most neces-
sary. Our advisors in the army and
navy concur in this judgment /
have conferred on the subject with
war department and President VIII
sun, and thes strongly cmphac::ch
need and importance of this work
for the period to follow cessation of
hostilities. Letter from President
Wilson will appear within two days
expressing his satisfaction that our
plans have been enlarged TO render
this great patriotic service.
The months following victorious
ending of the war will be accompan-
led with special danger We need
not be solicitous for our soldiers
and sailors when they are drilling
and lighting and confronting the
great adventure of life and death,
but rather when this great excite
ment is withdrawn and discipline re-
laXed and hours of leisure multi
piled and temptations are increased.
The seven organizations will then be
more needed than ever to prevent
period of rehabilitation becoming
period decentralization.
1t took over two years to com
plete dcmobilization at the Franco
Prussian war, eighteen months after
Turco-Russian war. sixteen months
after Spanish h-American war, ten
months after South African war.
thirteen months after Russian-Ja>
panese war. All with whom we
have consulted agree that it will re-
quire more than one year to demob,
iliZe American forces. For this pc
riod Of gravest danger our Organiza-
tions are planning to enlarge greatly

presenting such helpful counter-at-
fractions as to keep men from wrong

We are also extending great ed

religious program will be conducted

more than to helm them during

Nelu York Will
Grolu All Wheat
1t Needs in 1918

George A. Glynn, chairman of the
Republican State Committee, said yes
terday that through the work of the
State Food Commission, the Council of
Farms and Markets and other Federal
and state agencies for increasing pro-
duction of foodstuffs the State of New
York, if weather conditions are favor
able, will this year raise as much
wheat as is normally consumed in a
year by the state.
"The figures should come from Cal
vim J. Huson, former Commiss Toner of
Agriculture, who has the matter d.
rectly in charge" said Mr.. Glynn, "but
l understand that Mr.. Huson's division
has stimulated production to the cx-
tent of getting farmers of the Empire
State to plant 100000 acres of spring
wheat. This, | am told, is several times
the normal average, and it means that
Tor the hrst time In years New York
will grow as much -four as it uses for
its regular population.
II noticed that in the convention of
the Federation of Agriculture at
Poughkeepsie on Tuesday one of the
speakers seemed to think it was de-
plorable that there was surplus of
100000 bushels of potatoes in the
state awaiting a market. While it will
be deplorable if any of those potatoes
rot on the hands of the owners, | still
fail to sec how surplus of foodstuffs
can be looked at as a calamity. Per
haps the machinery for shipping and
marketing the potatoes is broken down
temporarily, but if it means more food
stuffs at reasonable price | believe
patriotic farmers will be glad there is
q surplus. 1t ought to mean cheaper
seed. do not wish to be understood as
criticising the farmer who is com
planning about conditions, for I know
he has lot of things to complain
about. and, in my judgment, his com
plants should be heard"
1t was learned that the use of state
owned tractors will be more general
this year than last. Twenty-onc new
machines of improved type have been
bought. making eject" of sixty-one.
These will be distributed so that not
more than twentyone acres of plough
ing may be done for any one farmer.

The propretors of these three res
taurants were among those who asked
Tor formal hearing when they APP
peared a week ago with about sixty
other restaurant proprietors to answer
charges of violating food regulations.
The food board reserved decision in
the cases of two others who had asked
for formal hearing -Weisscr's Lunch.
at 626 Sixth Avenue, and Unger G.
Cherniavkovsky, at 81 West Thirty
sixth Street.
The proprietor of Rephaus's Lunch
admitted that he had served frank
furters on March 5, but pleaded that
they had been left over from the day
before.
The food board issued yesterday an
announcement making clear that the
restrictions on the sale of beef and
pork on Tuesdays apply to cooked meat

fresh meats are not affected, but

pose OF meatless days at any rate.

Gore Bill Would Add 80
Cents to Figure Set
by Wilson
To Speed Production
Hoover Board Stirred by Re-
port Showing Meagre
Reserve Supply

WASHINGTON, March l6.-While
the food administration was making
plans to-day to meet the critical wheat
shortage by further reduction in
consumption the Senate again took up
IN debate legislation to increase pro-
duction by raising the price on the 1913
crop.
The food administration was stirred
to action by reports from the Depart
ment of Agriculture showing that the
supply of wheat on farms and in coun-
try elevators is far less than it was a
year ago.
The Senate considered bill by SEN
ator Gore, of Oklahoma, to fix the price
at So so, or 80 cents bushel more than
set in a recent proclamation by Presi-
dent Wilson. In the House to-day,
also, a bill was introduced by Repre-
sentative Morgan. of Oklahoma, to ap-
prcpriate S300,000000 to compensate
producers for the losses they sustained
when the government established its
19l, price at figure lower than the
then market price.
Speaking for his bill. Senator Gore
declared that of 100 leading commodi-
ties which had advanced in price within
the last year the increase in farm
products had been the least
Senator Pomercne. of Ohio. Demo
crat, charged that during the last two
years the laws of supply and demand
have failed to exist, and that prices
for cereals have been fixed by "hoard
ers and gamblers" He accused the gov
eminent and Congress with having
failed to do their duty in providing for
proper regulation of prices, declaring
regulation should be extended to all
cereals alike.
Senator McCumber. of North Da-
kota, Republican. urged that farmers
be paid more for their wheat, saying
that unless this were done wheat
would be produced at loss in his
state.
Senator Williams, of Mississippi,
Democrat, opposed price fixing legisla
ton, declaring farmers should be al
lowed a free market for their products.

lribune's Daylight
Campaign raised

Tic the editor of The Tribune there
came last night telegram from
Charles Lathrop Pack. of the National
Wax Garden Commission in Washing
ton:
congratulations on the fine con-
structive educational campaign you
carried on for the daylight saving
bill. This measure will mean mill
ions of dollars for the war garden
ers and thousands of extra hours of
daylight in which to produce better
food with which the city farmers can
feed themselves. Passage of this
bill is the biggest victory Of the war
thus far"
Estimating the number of war gar
dens at 100000, a statement from the
commission said:
I'm seven months of twentv-six
days each there will be an addition
OF 546,o0O.OO0 hours to the working
time of city. town and village gar
dcners. This is equivalent to S.
25o.o 900 days of eight hours each, or
1926 years"

barred by the chief of the Civil Cabi-
net. The appointment of their candi-
date evidently means that the Kaiser
has changed his position toward war
aims. and probably also toward the
political movement looking toward re-
forms.
At still another point stiffening of
the Prussian spine occurred. Every
where in Germany much was made last
fall of the revelations" brought out
in the Suchomlinoff trial in Russia,
which seemed to justify the claim of
all German apologists that Germanys
declaration of war was rendered nee
essary by Russias order for a general
mobilization. The testimony at the
trial was treated as a complete cx-
cu!pation of Germany, and writers
generally used it to the full to fortify
the moral position of Germany. With
the German people themselves, Of
course. it was easy, and even agree
able, to accept such an interpretation
The result is that they are more COM
pletely committed than ever to the be-
lief that Germany was forced into the
war, and this undoubtedly strengthens
the hands of the government for the
further prosecution of the war.

Marks Reuiue

Such, then, is the German view of the
military situation and outlook. That
the war events of 1917 brought re-
vival of optimism has already been in
timated. That changed feeling is evil
dent in many ways. A remarkable rise
in German exchange in neutral coun
tries-the mark doubled in value at
Stockholm and Amsterdam during the
last two months OF 1917--was every
where interpreted IN Germany as a
harbinger of peace favorable to Ger
many. The German stock exchanges
felt cheerful and stocks registered good
advances, especially the so-called
peace stocks" Discussions of the war
touched more frequently he victory
motif. Stalwart politicians and writ
ers grew more aggressive, more greedy
of conquest, more impudent and reck-
less of foreign opinion. 1t is worth
while here to follow up the process by
which the Prussian backbone was stiff
ened, apart from the mere military
events of the year.
The Reichstag's July resolution was
already mentioned. 1t proved the sig
val FOR countermovement Of ire
mcndous energy. Patriots of the stall
wart type, known to us chiefly as the
Prussian Junkers, felt that the resolu-
ton was humiliation for Germany.
They would never consent to a peace
without the rewards of the vctor-ter-
ritorlcs and financial booty. SO coun-
