time after he was alleged to have set
fire to a barn owned by j. c. Ffncher,
a prominent Doerun man, Nathan john
son, a negro, was shot and killed late
Friday night by Mr.. Fincher. The shoot
ing occurred at the scene of the fire, and

IS ASKED TO
ESTABLISH FARM BOARD
Wilson Assures Delegation
That Agricultural Interests
viii Have Attention

WASHINGTON, Feb. 10.-Spokesmen of
sixteen national farm organizations and
many smaller ones, holding wartime
conference here at the call of the feder-
al board of farm organizations, present
ed a memorial to President Wilson yes
terday urging more definite measures
by the government In speeding up agri-
cultural production t
Specifically, the delegation asked for
the appointment of a special commits
sion of nine farmers to advise in agrl-
cultural problems and represent the
farming viewpoint; for the Through
ing of trained farm workers now in the
army so long as their services may be
considered by the government more use
full in productive agriculture than in the
military service; that the select service
regulations be interpreted so as to stop
the placing of skilled farm workers,
foremen and bona fide farmers in class
/; that provision be made for furnish
ing farmers seed, feed, fertilizers and
machinery; that steps be taken to pro-
mote aggressively short-time loans to
finance the production of crops, and that
if the policy of price control is to pre-
vail, it be applied to what the farmer
buys as well as to what he sells.
After listening to the memorial Pres
ident Wilson made this reply:
81 cannot, of course, off-hand answer
so important a memorial as this, and
need not tell you that it will receive
my most careful and respectful atten-
tion. Many of the questions that are
raised here have been matters of very
deep and constant concern with us for
months past, and / believe that many
of them are approaching as successful
a solution as we can work out for them,
but just what these steps are / cannot
now detail to you. You are probably
familiar with some of them
81 want to say that fully recognize
that you gentlemen do not mean that
your utmost effort will be dependent
upon the acceptance of these sugges-
tons. l know you are going to do your
level best in any circumstances, and
/ count on you with the utmost conf
dence in that. There has never been
time, gentlemen, which tested the real
quality of folk as this time is going
to test it; because we are fighting for
something bigger than any mans mag
ination can grasp.
This is a final tackle between the
things that America has always been
opposed to and was organized to fight
and the things that she stands for. 1t
is the final contest, and to lose it would
set the world back, not hundred
perhaps several hundred-years in the
of human life. The thing
cannot be exaggerated in its Importance,
and I know that you men are ready, as
1 am, to spend every ounce of energy we
have got in solving this thing. If we
solve it in the best way, we will
solve it in the next best way, and II
the next best way is not available, we
will solve il in the way next best to
that. but we will tackle it in some way
and do it as well as we can.

Austrian Cabinet Has ~
rendered Its destination

AMSTERDAM, Feb. S.-The resigna-
ton OF the Austrian cabinet has been
rendered to Emperor Carl, according to
Vienna dispatches here today.
The dispatches were dated Febru-
airy Z.
The resignation of the Won Seydler
cabinet, IL is understood in parliamen-
tary circles in Vienna. is due to the OPP
position of Polish deputies against spe-
cial debates and the provisional budget.
The opposition of the deputies makes
majority for the budget doubtful.
President Gross, of the lower house,
announcing the resignation, said that
according to the constitution il was
necessary to postpone temporarily the
sittings Of the house.
The cabinet of DR.. Won Seydler, which
was formed last June, was reported to
have resigned during the recent labor
crisis in Austria Hungary. This report,
however. was not confirmed.
DIR. Won Seydler was able to bring
about the cessation of the strike by in
forming labor delegations on January
20 that il was the wish of the Austrian
emperor to end the war at the earliest
possible moment by honorable peace.
Other members of his government prom
Used labor and military reforms, after
which the labor leaders ordered their
followers to return to work. This vir-
tUally ended the strike in Vienna

Won HINDENBURG
Is KEPT GUESSING
BY GEN. PERSHING
Crafty PrJSSian War Leader
Divides Reserves and Takes
Up Headquarters Opposite
American Sector

NEW YORK, Feb. 9.-The German
general staff is completely confused over
Americas campaign plans in France
Won Hindenburg is revealing the fact
that he doesn't know where General
Pershing is going to strike by concen-
trating German reserves, both near
Metz and in southern Alsace, near the
Swiss border.
Reports of large masses Of German
soldiers arriving at these centers have
become too persistent to be ignored.
Metz and southern Alsace are about
$50 miles apart by rail. The Germans
never divide their troops by so larg.;
a distance unless there is the most i'm
perative reason for it. Separation OF
reserves against resolute enemy is
always d dangerous poncy.
The only reason why Won Hindenburg
has divided his forces is because his
espionage system has been unable to
ferret out the designs of the American
chief commander. General Pershing has
got Won Hindenburg guessing and that is
always the first score in the game. II
Won Hindenburg were contemplating a
major offensive at this time against
the Americans, he would under no cir
Gums tances separate his reserve of man
power into Independent units. Instead
of separation, he would concentrate at
a given sector and would launch his
blow with all the force at his com
mand.
The division of the German reserves
between Metz and southern Alsace.
therefore suggests not only that Won
Hindenburg has been puzzled by General
Pershings' preliminary strategy, but
also that the German staff is content for
the present to rest on the defensive
against the fast growing American
strength along the Alsace-Lorraine Dor
der. .t.
Further uneasiness in German mill
tary circles over the various possibili-
ties in the coming American offensive
is shown by reports that Won linden
burg and Ludendorff are now making
their headquarters along the Rhine.
This undoubtedly means that Germany
is going to take no chances by using
second-rate commanders against the
Americans. The two military dictators
of Germany are assuming full control
themselves of Germany's defense
against the United States. They may
be fooline the German people with tales
of contempt for the American army, but
they are not fooling themselves.
