Washington. April 6. The hrsi
anniversary OF the entrance az the
United States into the war finds the
great resources OF the country just
coming into the struggle but rapidly
being prepared.
The achievements OF the first year
are chiefly divided between the army
which has been supplying and train
ing fighting forces; the navy which
has been hunting the submarine and
conveying troops and supplies to Eu-
rope, the shipping board which has
been building a merchant marine and
the treasury which has been advanc-
ing credits to the allies.
In all other departments OF the gov
ernment there has been tremendous
effort TO bring all the force OF the
country's resources and power TO the
aid OF the actual fighting machine.
Half Million There.
For military reasons II is not per
missible to state the exact number Of
American troops In France with Cen
eral Pershing's expedition, but Secre-
tary Baker. in recent testimony be-
fore the senate military committee
predicted half a million men would
be there early this year and that
another million would be ready to
go during the year.
American troops have taken up
several positions on the fighting line
in France. have occupied a sector of
their own northwest OF Toul, and
have had numerous encounters with
the Germans. Official statements
from British and German army head
quarters have shown that certain
American fighting forces were thrown

to make sure Of the position Of the

side OF the car, verified his fand-
marks, and telephoned the results to
the chart-room.

SWISS FEAR RESULT
OF DESERTERS' STRIKE

Zurich, Switzerland, February U.s.
| Correspondence Of The Associated
Press "A strike Of deserters" has
been in progress here for some
weeks. The twelve to thirteen thou
sand deserters, mostly from the cen
| trail empires, who have taken refuge
| in Switzerland are as rebellious TO
service in the field and the factory
/ as they are in the front line trenches,
and most Of them refuse to work.
| Until recently every deserter who
| could find his way across the frontier
! into Switzerland was given shelter
with no other condition than he pay
| his taxes and observe the law. The
number continually increased and on
the occasion OF the riots in Zurich
| the federal authorities discovered
| that there were too many OF these
deserters among the leaders of the
disorder. 1t was then decided to or
der civil mobilization that would
enable the government to round up
all unoccupied foreigners and set
them to work.
The strike OF the deserters fol-
lowed this mobilization. The desert
ers pretended to the right of asylum
in the country without the obligation
to work. They were supported by a
certain element Of the Swiss Socialist
party with maximalist tendencies.
I'VE came here to escape servi-
tude" the deserters said, I've reject
all obligations Of service, military or
civil; we will obey no order and we
summon the Socialist party of
Switzerland to sustain US immedi-
ately."
The Socialist party of Switzerland
met at often in general convention
and, though sustaining the strikers IN
q platonic way invited them to go
back to work. Thereupon the desert |
ers and the extremists Of the So
cialist party organized sort Of
soviet in Zurich.
Socialist members Of the federal /
council are endeavoring to get the |
to annul the civil /
decree but public opin |
ion in a vast majority is stoutly op \
posed to any concessions to the

the curing of the corn. The Indians
who are experienced at producing
seed corn that will grow, cured their
corn by putting 1t on a platform

that it left considerable time for the
