Peace Meeting.

Washington, Nov. 90
There were no developments
on the surface today, in the
preparations for President
Wilson's trip to France and
for Americas representation
at the peace conference. Ar
rangements are going steadily
ahead, however, and an an
nouncement of the peace COM
missions personnel with the
program for the journey may
be expected at any time.
Members OF the senate who at
tended the White House conference
last night told their colleagues today
of the presidents determination to
stay in France indefinitely or until
all greater issues arising out of the
war have been settled. How long
this may be no one venturesto guess,
so the president will take with him
full executive staff, prepared to
transact aboard ship or at the AM
erican embassy in Paris virtually all
business of the White House.
Houston May be Delegate.
In addition to Secretary Lansing,

Colonel House, Elihu Root and JUS

that of Secretary Houston of the

WHERE FARMING
IS PROFITABLE
The Future Of Great Possibilities.

Some idea of the great wealth that
the Western Canada farmer had in
view a few years ago is now being real
lied The amount received from the
sale of wheat, oats, barley, flax and
rye in 1917 was $27O,OOO,OOO, while the
sales Of live stock at Winnipeg alone
netted $40,0OO,O00 additional. OF this
sum hogs alone gave over eleven mil
lion dollars The increase at Calgary
and Edmonton were over 81 million
dollars
This money, so easily earned, is be-
ing spent in improvements in farm
property, purchasing additional land
buying tractors, automobiles, and i'm
proving home conditions, providing
electric light, steam heat, new furni-
ture, pianos, buying Victory bonds,
paying up old debts, etc.
Over five hundred tractors were sold
in Southern Alberta in 1917. One
implement agent reports that the in
crease in his business in 1917, over
that of 1916, was equal to the total
business in 1915. 1t is the same story
All over the country. And it is not
this evidence alone which proves the
advancement and growth of the three
prairie provinces but the large in
crease in the number of settlers; the
improvement in the extent of the cul-
itivated areas and agricultural produc-
ton; the increase in value of which
over 1916 was $77,OOO.OO0
This. wonderful progress that has
been made in agriculture in Western
Canada is but the beginning which
marks the future of the greatest agri-
cultural country on the continent,
showing a future of great possibilities.
There are millions of acres yet I'M
titled, and of land as good as any of
that which is now giving it's owners
return Of from twenty to thirty dollars
an acre, figures that in many cases
represent the cost of the land, with all
cultivation costs included. 1t is true
that the cost of production has in |
creased during the past few years, but /
the price of the product has also in
creased to a figure which leaves
large balance to the credit of the pro-

Troops to France.

Washington, April 17-Another draft
| call for 1888 registrants has been
sent to governors of all states by Pro-
vost Marshal General Crowder. Mo-
| bilization of the men is ordered for
May l and 10, the war department
has announced, and they will be sent
to IL forts and recruiting barracks,
probably for training with regular
army units there.
This call increases to- more than
100000 the number of select men or
dered to camp since late in March.
This is far in excess of the monthly
average that would have been mobiliz-
ed under the original plan to call oOO,-
900 men this year over a nine-months'
period. Future calls at the same rate
would complete the program before
midsummer.
Under President Wilson's determina-
tion to hasten the dispatch of Ameri-
can troops to France TO reinforce the
British and French armies bearing the
brunt of the great German drive, the
whole program of the army is speed
ing up. Only a week ago General
Crowder ordered mobilization of 150,-
900 select men for April 26, and their

Further announcements are expect
ed to follow the return of Secretary
Baker from his visit to the battle
fronts and conferences with officials

Troops are now moving ITO Europe at
a rapid rate and this clearing of train
ing camps will permit the calling of
men much faster than was contemplat-
ed before the German offensive made
it imperative to rush men to the bat
tie front.
Although every state and the District
of Columbia are called upon to furnish
men under General Crowder's latest
order, nearly half of the 49,S43 men
will come from seven states, Illinois

FORTY GERMAN PRISONERS

An Atlantic Port, April 1S.-A for
mer German transatlantic liner now

to have been captured by American

AMERICANS AND
TRUE DEMOCRACY
Dollars Are Needed as ExempIifi-

Citizens Must Lend Their Financial

BY GEORGE e. BOWEN
of the ViujIanteS.

In the main, 1t cannot be said ot
America that she is without her Amer
leans, or that the faith and service OF
the mass is un-American in spirit.
Dollars do not always go with de.
mocracy, but when informed, inspired
and enlisted they can be mighty useful
to it.
There has been a mistaken idea in
certain. sections of America that dol
lars, according to the number of them,
spelled 'aristocracy."
They don't. That is an imported
idea. And that it is perishing in the
land of its origin, witness the war and
the CONSERVATION of the few aristo-
Gratis, both external and inbred.
There have been, possibly are,
few external aristocrats In America,
who, in a moment of excessive vanity
measured their social Importance by
the size of their material fortunes.
The war erased that absurd notion,
almost with the first blare of the
trumpet.
Millionaire Privates in Ranks.
There are millionaire privates in the
ranks of the American army and navy
who have renounced all the prestige
of fortune for the privilege of comrade-
ship.
In the crucial test humanity was
first, last, and all the way between.
Men are more than money. The outer
veneer has been quickly shed. The
man has emerged.
What he thought was his pride, in
days of social and financial triumph,
he finds was but cheap and trivial
Now, his real pride is
thing of purpose, power and dignity.
Before the war is over, dollars that
hid in aristocratic seclusion or vaunt- |
ed themselves in ostentatious power |
are going voluntarily and humbly to |
join the forces of democracy.
After the war they are going to de-
yelop system of popular redistribu- |
ton relieving the old congestion whose
fevers broke out in many forms Of lux
ury and extravaganza incompatible |
with universal contentment.
