Why KinIinu Resluned.

Mir. Rudyard Kipling's resignation from the Society of Authors (not to say his parting gift of $500 to the pen sion fund) raises a question in which the reading public is bound to find interest. The society, by a very large vote, has decided that the production of so many charity gift-boOks has tres passed on the ys-great-tO-a-fault generosity of authors; and that in fu- ture the society, so as to fulfill it's of flee of defending the rights of writers, shall have a say in the matter when further gift-books are proposed. MT. Kipling's attitude is that, while he himself holds no brief for charity gift books, he declines to hand over to committee his own right as to what he shall or shall not do with his own work.-London Chronicle.

New Substitute for sisaI.

According to Farm and Preside, Charles Christadoro has found that New Zealand flax yields a fiber nearly twice as tough as sisal and entirely adapted to binder twine manufacture ''This flax of which he has sent us sample" says Farm and Preside, "has been successfully grown as an orna- mental plant in the West, thrives on ordinary soil and will withstand a tenn perature as low as 10 degrees Fahren- heit. It natures from roots in two years, and may be expected to yield about 15 tons of leaves per acre, equiv e1ent to two tons of iber."

Ianan,s Rice cron Crows.

Japan's last rice crop broke all rec ords for that empire, having amount ed to 29S, ,466,706 bushels, which beat the former official high record (1914) by 6,630,270 bushels. Better methods of investigation and handling by local officials may be partly responsible, but the increase is pDobably due also to improvement made in the selection of seed, methods of farming and pre- ventiOn of damage from natural causes.

BAKERS TRIP IS
To LEARN FACTS
HE WILL REPORT PERSONALLY
TO THE PRESIDENT JUST WHAT
HE SEES WHILE MAKING IN
SPECTION in FRANCE.

WASHINGTON March 15.-Safe ar
rival in France of Secretary Baker and
his party having been formally an
nounced, press reports about his move
ments on the other side are being
watched closely here. Many officials
think it possible that the story of his
activities, if permitted to pass the CEN
or, will throw interesting light upon
the subject of his mission to the thea
ire of war.
Emphasis laid by the War Depart
ment upon the fact that Mr.. Bakers
trip was purely a military pilgrimage,
without diplomatic significance, has
directed attention to the known desire
Ct President Wilson to see an ener-
getic campaign waged by the Allies.
With American troops holding a con-
stantly increasing sector of the battle
lines, the wishes of the Washington
government undoubtedly will have
eTen greater weight than heretofore
with the Allied chieftains
Secretary Baker will be able to learn
first-hand from General Pershing the
Judgment of that officer on all that
is going on in France. He will not
only hear what the American leader
thinks of the prospects for his own
forces, but also will get views, founded
on long continued observation as to
the French and British war machines.
1t is assumed here that the secre-
tary is gathering just such informa-
ton for the president, and going over
over as he has done, backed by inti-
nate knowledge of all that has occur
red in the United States since this
country entered the war, he will be
able to give, as we'll as receive, i'm
portant information.
The great question of the direction
In which the United States is to exert
its greatest effort in the war may be
decided on the result of these con-
ferences abroad. There has been a
constant conflict, not only as to the
use of ship tonnage as between the
shipment of troops and the shipment
Of supplies for the Allies, but also as
to the priority rights of various army
supplies and equipment.
Aside from particular object the
war secreta1ys trip may have, he
has been eager to get to the front
ever since the United States entered
the war. He has frequently told Of
fcers en- route to Europe that he en-
wed them their opportunity to see
world history in the making. Added
to that is his great feeling of personal
responsibility for the war prepare
tons of the government.

LATEST WAR ORDER
STARTS DISCUSSION

WASHINGTON, March 15.-The
War Departments orders limiting the
published accounts of casualties to
our soldiers abroad to the mere name
was discussed in the House, the mem
bers turning from the consideration
of the legislative bill by unanimous
consent to take up the matter.
Representative Carter Glass of Vir-
g.nia and Garrett, of Tennessee, Demo-
Gratis, said the French government
would not have requested tbs course
to be taken if it had not been based
or experience.
Calling the order a mistake, Repre-
81 NATIVE Mckenzie, Republican, Of
Illinois, said he believed cablegrams
had been misinterpreted by the gov
eminent, and declared no possible good
would come to the Kaiser from know
ing that men of certain American
towns were among those killed or in
jured. He said it was bringing a
storm of protest, and read a telegram
from a constituent inquiring about
a name in casualty lists.
When the order was issued, he
said, Il felt, as 1 believe every mem
Der OF this House felt, that it was a
mistake, and that instead of doing
the thing they expected to do il
would only aggravate the matter. And
this is only the first evidence from
district, and it is evidence that will be
coming from every district in a few
days unless the order is changed.
1T would do no harm to say, for
example that Walter E. Moore, OF
Sterling, Ills, was wounded on GER
tain date, leaving out the regiment OF
the company, or even the division to
which he belonged"
81 will ask the gentleman" inquir-
ed Mr. Russell, of Missouri, " if he
does not believe it would be better not
to give the name at all unless they are
going to give us the address?"

TO CHECK ENEMY
VOTE in TEN STATES

WASHINGTON March 15.-A bill
Introduced the House by Chairman
Flod is intended to prevent alien en-
emies from voting in the elections next
fall and electing congressman un-
friendly to the Administrations war
programme.
1t is roughly estimated that from
100000 to 100000 aliens who have
taken out their first papers toward
citizenship and who, in ten states OF
the union, are allowed to vote, bill
be barred from national suffrage.
Mr.. Flood said he introduced the bill
after comforting with both Democrats
and Republicans.
he bill would prevent alien eiemies
from voting for electors for presi-
dent and vice president.
