Pershing's Nephew
To Get War Cross
fBv The Associated Press)
THE AMERICAN ARMY

WITH THE AMERICAN ARMY IN
FRANCE, May 15.- Major Richard
Bolles Paddock, of the Signal Corps, has
been recommended for the War Cross.
Recently under terrific she'll fire he
made an inspection of the wire com
munications, which was not expected OF
him because of his rank. He discovered
the wire cut by the enemy and re
paired it, being wounded in the leg
while doing so. He is a native OF
Wyoming.
Sergeant W. 9. Connell, of Pitts.
burgh, Pa. and Sergeant H. r: Webb, of
Monroe. Utah, Signal Corps, have been
awarded the War Cross for con-
spcuous bravery in repairing wires
under heavy she'll and gas attack.
Both are now in the hospital.
There was a general movement be-
hind the German lines to-day, perhaps
owing to heavy casualties inflicted by
the American artillery. The arr ac-
tivities were above normal, the weather
being ideal The French brought down
a German plane in flames early this
morning back of the American lines.
Major Paddock is nephew of Gen
eral Pershing and has been on his
staff since the outbreak of the Mexican
trouble. He was graduated from West
Point in 1914, and in the same year
married a Brooklyn girl, Miss Anne
Cunningham of 46 Hamilton Place. He
was born in Lincoln, Neb.

Half Of Property in Control

Unrest Is Widespread
Shortage of Horses and Imple-
ments Complicates Un-
settled Conditions
Bu The .Associnfed PrcAal

SAMARA, Russia, Thursday, May .
Much of the fertile land Of European
Russia will go uncultivated this year.
Less than half the land now remaining
in control of the Soviet government
Will be titled owing to the shortage of
seed, horses and implements and the
unsettled conditions brought about by
the land division.
The correspondent has made a tour
of the governments of Samara, Sim
birsk, Moscow, Penza, Tambov, Ryazan
and Saratov, the chief remaining wheat
producing districts. The majority Of
the large estates and the larger peas
ant tracts have been seized and divided
among the poor peasants by local land
committees. Horses. cattle and imple-
mcnts have also been divided and scat
tered. The distribution Of seed has
been unequal because of the large
acquisitions made by the Central gov
cities and because also of the disor-
ganized transportation.
Peasants have hidden their seed and
resisted the food committees. Many
districts, consequently, have seed po-
tatoes, wheat, barley and oats, but the
peasants are not willing to plant al
the acreage possible, fearing the future
disposition of the land and the control
of the harvested crop. The hostility
of the farmers toward city workers
generally is shown by their unwilling
ness to surrender grain to the fooc

Canada Negotiates

OTTAWA, Ont, May 15-Negotia-
tlons for government acquisition of the
Grand Trunk Railway and the Grand
Trunk Pacific Railway were announced

Premier Borden.

Confidential negotiations had been
opened with the Grand Trunk Railway,

I'VE have" he said, made what we
regard as reasonable offer. They

he explained, that if no agreement
could be reached the question should
be submitted to arbitration, without

case Of the Canadian Northern Rail

Many New Workers
On Casualty List

New Workers again figured largely in
the casualty list published yesterday.
One of those listed by General Per-
shng as having died of disease in
France was Private Patrick L. Mora
han, of the 165th Infantry-the old
69th-who before he put on, the olive
drab wore the tight-fitting uniform
and brass buttons Of bellhop IN the

will make some bellboy when he goes
back, as you have to keep your eyes
and ears open for bells and horns in
the trenches as we'll as in hotels. The
only thing he may get is shrapnel

John Duhig, also reported as having
died of disease, was born in Ireland
and came to this country in 1912. Up
10 the time of his enlistment he lived
with his sister at 423 West Fifty-sixth
Street. He was twenty-eight years old.
Second Lieutenant Robin l.. Conn,
listed as slightly wounded, is the son
of Mrs. Martha Scudder Conn, who
lives at the Hotel Richmond, 70 West
Fortletn Street. Before he went to
Plattsburg Lieutenant Conn was an
architect in the employ of Charles L..
Pratt. 101 Park Avenue.
Private Peter J. Bohan, infantry,
slightly wounded. is nineteen years old.
He came from Ireland three years ago
and has since lived with his uncle,
Joseph Keller, at 1444 Seventy fifth
Street, Brooklyn. His twin brother,
Thomas, is also in the service.
Private George T. Dick, of Jersey
City. slightly wounded. was employed
by the Cunard Steamship Company

listed last February in the regular in
fantry. His parents live at 120 Bar

committees, and their hesitation to
plant extensively lest their crops be
rcquisitioned
The wheat planting season ends this
week in Central Russia, and in most Of
the districts less than half the grain
land has been ploughed. The exodus
Of city dwellers into the grain sections
has been so large that breadstuffs are
extremely scarce. even in grain centres
like Samara, where bread sells for two
rubles per pound. The price gradually
rises approaching Moscow, and at some
towns located in The grain states chill
dren gather at the .incoming trains and
beg bread from the passengers.
The land division has caused less
bloodshed than was expected, although
in some sections rich landlords have
been killed and their mansions pillaged
and burned. The local Land commit
tees are meeting with many difficulties,
and there Is general unrest among the
peasants, who arc uncertain about the
future land distribution because the
central government has merely author
ized the seizure Of land without legis-
lation providing methods for its divi-
sion
The prices of grain and labor are
undetermined everywhere. The sovlets
eighteen to twenty-four rub1es per
bushel. But the price in the open
market is several times higher, and
the peasants are unwilling to take the
deprecated money, as they want cloth,
leather, implements and other manu-
factured goods. which the local mar
kets do not afford, or offer at prohibl-
tive prices
Several provinces have issued their
own money, but the peasants and mer-
chants refuse to accept it, unless
forced to do SO by armed guards. Even
the provincial cities are issuing their
own money and are legalzing the cir
culation Of officially indorsed checks
on state banks. But the peasants do
not willingly accept such mediums of
exchange.
Samara Province has thousands of
German colonists owning from sixty to
eighty acres each, who have forcibly
resisted the land committees and retain
their property. The amount of land
allotted to individual peasants varies in
different sections according to the den
sity of the population, the nature of
the land and the size of the families.
Two and half to five acres is the aver
age allotment in the grain-growing
districts.
Millions of returned soldiers have
been absorbed by the villages without
special disorganization. Many of the
soldiers have retained their arms, and
the villages now are able to protect
themselves against outside interfer-

Ukrainian Government
Plans to Establish
Free, Powerful State

AMSTERDAM, May 15.-The new
Ukrainian government in outlining it's
programme, says dispatch from Kiev,
declares that it aims at the establish
ment of free, independent and power
full Ukraina. The main task of the
government, which is characterized as
provisional, is to restore order and ad
minister state affairs until the convo-
cation of Parliament.
The government announces that
strong measures will be taken against
agltators. 1t denies that it is serving
the interests of large landowners and
disregarding those of the peasants.
