The military help of America in

declared Won Capelle. THE expecta-

disappointed. If America later wants
to maintain half a million troops in

would be deprecated from the serv-

Nv hen all OF the conditions entering

federal reserve district at this date are
considered, It is doubtful If the north
west has ever had a finer outlook at
this - The wheat crop, upon
which so many hopes hang, and which
is a factor of such unusual importance
during war time, presents a most at
tractive appearance all the way west
to the Rocky mountains. Grain has
rooted firmly, and the plants are

strong growth. 1t is noticeable that
it is very dif1cult to find a break in the

In the western half Of the district,
particularly in tho which ordi-
.narfH do not suffer from an excess Of
motsture during previous months,
have been of the greatest benefit to
the crop. Moisture conditions in east
ern Montana and the western half Of
North Dakota are very good.
The weather during b month has
been uniformly cool and frost has ap-
peared at some points. While some
damage has occurred, one observer

1T ALL DEPENDS ON THE UNIT.
ED STATES NOW.

Chicago, April 10. - Speaking to
more than 1900 delegates assembled
at the sixth annual meeting of the
Chamber of Commerce of the United
States, Charles i. namlin, of the fed
eral reserve board, said there would
be no victory in the world-war until
the entire strength of the United
States army and navy has ben trans
ferred to France.
"Don't let talk of premature peace
mislead vou," said Mr.. Hnmlin. "Thc
only peace we shall see will be die
tated in large part by General Per-
shing and the United States army"
An Atlatnic Port, April 10..The
conviction that England and France
"have reached the maximum of their
present effort" and that the success
full outcome of the war now rests
heavily on the United States, was ex-
pressed by Grafton d. Cushing, for
mer lieutenant governor of Massn-
chusettes, member Of the Liberty
Loan Committee on his arrival here
today on a French stemner after n
visit to England and France.
Mr.. Cushing said that the situation
was extremely serious" and thnt the
United States should realize the fact
that victory depended on our efforts
in providing men, munitions and ships
for their transportation.

our TROOPS ARE
GOINGOVER WITH
INCREASED SPEED
EurOpe's Cry For Help Being
Answered by Uncle Sam, Who
Is Rushing Men to France to
Check Onward March of the
Kaiser's Army.

Washington, April s.-Transporta-
ton of American troops to France
already is proceeding ut the acceler-
ated rate contemplated by the speed
ing up mensurers taken after tho bat
tie of Picardy began. Acting Secretary
Crowell made this steatemcnt TODAY,
but would give no details.
For military reasons, the extent of
the increased troop movement has
not been made public.
Following the conferences between
Secretary Baker and allied officials
orders were given under which n
British oflicial statement was issued
saying that American forces wero tn
be brigaded with British troops In or
der to hasten American participation
in the war. Officials explained to-
day that the progress to be followed
was similar to that adopted in plac-
ing. American troops in the front line
with the French for training.
1t has been estimated that thirty
days of this character, with American
battalion units assigned with the
British organizations, will fit the
newcomers for active duty Mt the
front All divisions now moved from
this side are composed Of men who
have had several months of prelimi-
nary training, and who need only II
inal instruction to take their full
share in the fighting.
The training process will bo
quicker with the British than with
the French, it is believed, because the
language difficulty does not exist.
1t was indicated that the new plan
calls for more extensive training
scheme with the British army than
has been the case with General Per-
shing's original force. There prob.
ably will be no attempt to set up IL

British ranks, rs hns been done with

SUPERVISORS STAND BACK OF
SCHOOL OFFICIALS.

In keeping with the policy of Pres
ident as voiced by Mr.. Claxton, Com
missioner of Education, in recent in
structions to Superintendents, the
Board of Supervisors at their April
meeting this week stood shoulder to
shoulder with the County School
Board in the determination to run the
schools of the county to their fullest
capacity during the coming year. This
concerted determination springs from
three considerations: namely (a) The
broad-minded acceptance of the fact
that the public schools system is by
far the most important institution un-
der the immediate control of the coun-
ty officials; (b) That through the
schools is the very best way in which
not only teachers but parents and
taxpayers can democratize our boys
and girls into the ideals of Ameri-
can patriotism. (c) That it is through
the schools that our government is
seeking to reach quickly and directly
every man, woman and child in O
searching appeal for help in winning
the war. The schools must be kept
open, says the government, and not
only kept open, but must be run, at
full blast, newly vitalized, ard broad
ly enlarged. The soldier in the trench
es dares and does hardly more than
can the teacher do and dare in the
school room. Never was opportunity
given to women especially to serve
their country patriotically than will
be given during the year to come in
conducting efficiently the schools of
the land, not only for the sake o.
the children under their care, but fo,
the sake of the flag they love. What.
ever money lure may tempt them tc
seek other positions, nowhere else, alb.

HUNS STAND PILLORIED AT BAR
OF CIVILIZATION.

Richmond, April 8.-Speaking here
tonight at the beginning of his tour
of the South in the interest of the
Third Liberty Loan, Secretary Nc
Adoo said he was not daunted by the
German drive in Picardy and had
not the slightest fear that all this
horde with all their brutal and despi-
cable methods Of warfare upon de-
fenseless women and children can ev-
er break that western front"
The Secretary said that year of
war had disillusioned those who had
regard for Germany, "whose purpose
have been umasked until she stands
pilloried at the bar of civilization"
He added that the peace of the world
could never again be secure until the
whole German idea was destroyed
Replying to those who favor in
creasing the interest rates on Liberty
Loan bonds, Mr.. McAdoo said he did
not "believe the American dollar is a
fugitive and must be chased by high
rates of interest when the govern
ment credit is behind them"
1--WE. have got to make it clear to
every man, to every woman, and to
every child" said the secretary, "that
while it is true that they could in
vest their money in something else
that would pay larger return they
can invest their money in nothing
else so full of blood and necessity as
government bond"

THE PRESIDENTS SPEECH AT

President Wilson'S speech at Balti-

every American breast. Once more
the President has stingingly and un-
answerably indicted the German en-
pire by the force of his irresistible
logic and the only reply that the Ger

that they have made all along---the
reply of bombast, Of turbulence, of
brazen disregard of all the verities
and the facts. The Presidents dccla-
ration of his Willingness to accept the
German challenge and rest the issue
on force, "force to the utmost, force
without stint or limit" makes the
heart beat faster and causes the eye
to gleam brighter. The President
has once again voiced the thought
and purpose of the American Nation
and has put in inimitable language
the feelings Of his fellow country
men.
America accepts the challenge un-
f1inchingly and without fear. By force
