Lord Robert Cecil Discusses
Worlds Trade Problems
After Present War.
NATIONS FORM PACT
Twenty-Four Governments Join an
Economic sociation-Germany
Must Abandon Military Ambi-
tions to Secure Admission.

London, July 15.-Lord Robert Cecil,
under secretary of state for foreign
affairs and minister OF blockades, in
a comprehensive statement regarding
the worlds trade after the war de-
clared that an economic association Of
"a nations, comprising the Allies, al
ready is in existence.
Whether Germany eventually shall
be admitted to this economic associa-
ton, declares the British minister,
will be determined by the test estab-
lished by President Wilson, when the
President said on Dec. that if the
German people should still, after the
war was over, continue to be obliged
to live under ambitious and intriguing
masters interested to disturb the peace
Of the world it might be impossible
to admit them to the partnership Of
the nations, or to free economic inter-
course.
Lord Robert described this state
ment by the President as a definition
of the qualifications for membership
in the association of nations, and
added:
ITO these declarations we give our
warmest assent
Germany One Obstacle.
Germany is the one obstacle to this
economic association of nations" said
Lord Robert. The Germany described
by President Wilson, Germany liv-
ing under ambitious and intriguing
masters.
"Germany's economic policy toward
all the groupings Of peoples from the
Arctic ocean to the Black sea-" he
continued, lis absolutely contrary to
our principles. Economic independ-
ence and free choice are the last
things which Germany will ever allow
to the peoples within her reach.
! $50 long as this is the policy of
Germany, how can we admit her to
membership in the free association Of
nations to which we already belong?"
asked Lord Robert. Before we can
offer her any participation in our re-
sources we must release her victims
from the economic slavery that she is
imposing upon them"
Wilson States Principles.
With regard to the economic princi-
pies of this association of nations,
Lord Robert said President Wilson
had on jan Stated them in memoir
able words when he advocated the
removal, so far as possible, of all eco
nomic barriers and the establishment
of an equality of trade among the
nations conserving to peace and asso-
ciating themselves for it's mainten-
ance"

Vienna Will Soon Announce Its
Foreign Policy.
Austrian and Hungarian ParIiaments
Are to Be Scene of the
Announcements.

Amsterdam, July 15.-According to
a telegram from Vienna, it was an
nounced at the Austrian capital, with
reference to the impending sessions
of the Austrian and Hungarian parlia-
ments, that important statements re-
garding the foreign policy will be
made by the government"

mands, according to a dispatch re-
ceived by the Havas agency, that the

ment with President Wilson.
The German imperial chancellor an
nounced in the Reichstag last month
that the Arbeiter Zeitung of Vienna
had been barred in Germany by the

per was considered every day more

graf says:

London, July 15.-An operation
against the Teutonic powers which
may develop westward along the bat
tie front and eventually conform with
the successful drive being carried out
by the French and Italians in Albania
has seemingly been started by the
British troops in Macedonia.
West of the town Of Dorian, which
lies on the railroad north of Saloniki,
the British have delivered a blow
against the Bulgarians which was pro-
ductive of good results. Details of the
operations are lacking, but 1t is not
unreasonable to assume that it had in
view the ultimate capture of the rail
road line running nOrthWard from
Zuskub and the outfanking of the
enemy lines northeast of Monastir.
Austrian Morale Extremely Bad.
Meanwhile, in Albania the French
and Italians are giving the enemy no
rest, pressing him back daily, mile
after mile over the trackless country
and capturing strategic positions and
villages. The latest French official
communication shows that the French
troops have taken the villages Of
Marta and Gramshi, which brings their
eastern flank appreciably nearer Lake
Ochrida.
The morale of the Austrians is de-
clared to be extremely bad and sur
renders of the war-worn soldiers are
reported constantly to be taking place.
Bad Weather on French Front.
Bad weather conditions continue to
prevail on the greater part of the bat
tie front in France and Flanders and
the military operations are still far
below normal. Nowhere have there
been any engagements ranking in i'm
portance above trench raids and patrol
encounters.
On several sectors, however, the big
guns are constantly hammering away
at opposing positions, particularly on
the American front along the Marine,
where the activity of the long range
pieces has increased perceptibly, on
the sectors held by the British near
Albert, KENNEL hill and Ypres, and
near Corey, where the French face the
enemy.
Big Battle Waits Clear Skies.
AS yet there is no indication that
the date for the commencement of the
expected grand offensive by the Ger
mans-the battle which it is thought
will prove the greatest effort the
enemy has yet made-is at hand. The
military observers, however, still in
cline to the belief that with cessation
of the rains, the drifting away of the
low lying clouds and return of clear
skies an attempt at big drive for the
piercing of the Allied front will be
made.

Hnw Insurance Is pair.

Washington, July Widespread
impression that insurance of men in

partment to make the announcement

ance is payable on the death of the
insured on the basis of $5.75 per month
for each $1,000 of insurance for $40

WOMEN FARMING IN
WESTERN CANADA
Success Has Followed All Their
Efforts.

On the train from Edmonton to Win
nipeg the writer took seat beside a
soldier who had returned from the
front. On his breast he wore the
beautiful distinguished service medal.
One coat sleeve was armless, and on
his left cheek he bore scar that he
would carry to his grave. He had
served his country faithfully and we'll.
At the first call for soldiers in August,
1914, he FASTENED to the recruiting
office, leaving his 320-acre farm, with
its crop ready for harvest, a full
equipment of farm implements, plenty
Of horses, and q wife. The wife should
not be last on the list for she proved
the master of the situation, and 10y
ally took hold of the question of pro-
duction, while her husband was on his
way to fight the Hun. And she sue
ceeded. In 1915 she succeeded, and
again in 1915, and when her husband
returned in 1917 she was able to show
some contemplated farm buildings
completed, the Indebtedness Of the farm
paid off, considerable addition to the
stock, and the land ready for q 1917
crop. This was the story told by the
soldier, and wasn't he a proud man
He was now ready to do what he could
to keep up the period of prosperity
and provide food for the allies. The
women of Canada have done nobly
during the struggle.
Among the most successful farmers
Of the Oak Lake district, Manitoba,
are the Misses Clara and Beatrice For
ward, who, for the past fourteen years,
have farmed their own land, doing all
the regular work on the farm, such as
blowing, seeding, summer following
and reaping. They have been espe-
cially successful with stock, and have
a splendid herd of Shorthorns, both
purebred and grade. At the recent
Brandon sale they purchased a new
purebred stock bull for 500. Their
herd was last year increased by %
calves.
Miss r. M. Hillman of Keller, Sas-
katchewan, is another successful
woman farmer. She has gone In ex-
tensively for grain growing, and farms
the finest Percheron horses in Sas-
katchewan.
The prairie now boasts of many
women who have had more or.less sue
cess, though few are farming on the
same large scale as Miss Hillman and
the Misses Forward. These women
have demonstrated, and are still dem
onstrating, that versatile woman
may be just as good and successful
farmer as her brother.
There are other women, too, on the
Canadian prairies, who, though they
have not had thrown upon them the re-
sponsibilities of running a farm"
have been decided factors in making
the farm a success. They assist their
husbands by keeping the farm ac-
counts, reducing the grocer's bills by
their management Of the poultry and
butter, taking care Of the house, and,
very often, proving good advisers in
the economic management Of the men
and general conduct Of the farm work.
The man who moves to Canada car
ries with him a wonderful asset In a
good managing wife.-Advertisement.

Washington, July 15.-Disclosures

money to influence and control the

up demand in Congress for thorough

MESSAGE TO EVERY
READER OF THIS PAPER


Your attention is called to the
change in the advertisements in this
issue and also to the new ones. The
merchants who advertise in this pa
per appreciate your trade and take
this means Of telling you Of any bar
gains they may have to offer and al
So to announce the arrival of new
goods which are placed at your dis
posal and inspection. BY closelg
watching the columns of this paper
you will learn the names of busl-
ness men who invite you to deal with
them. A merchant who does not care
enough TO your trade to ask you to
visit his store and who does not in
form you Of the many bargains he
may have to offer is hardly worthy
Of your patronage. The progressive
merchant will always let his Gus
toners know of .he arrival of the
new. goods at once, and the way for
Shefidan>c county merchants to do this
is through the columns Of The Pro-
ducers News which goes to almost ev-
cry home in the county.
