learned that certain Democratic sena
tors from the South would make un-
expected resistance when the vote
came. They said privately they could
not forget the days when an attempt
was made TO put over the force bill,
and they feared that the limitation of
debate might result in some such
measure obnoxious to them being
voted through the senate.
The Underwood resolution allows
senators to speak but one hour on
bill and twenty minutes on an amend
ment, but IL was said tonight that an
amendment by Senator Cummins of
Iowa, which limits the time 10 one
hour and a half. and allows a senator
to expend his time as he wishes, and
also provides that the senate can en-
large the debate by a majority vote,
would be substituted.
johnson Upholds Wood
During the debate this afternoon
Hiram johnson, Of California, made
vigorous speech in which he de-
inounced the humiliation of General
Leonard Wood, without a reason be
ing given to the public.
The cruelest thing in all this
world" said he. is the humiliation
of brave spirit. If it is necessary TO
| relieve from his command "A man like
/ Leonard Wood. why not tell the peo-
| Pile of the United States the reason?
! "One thing the people Of the United
States have a right to know is why
this was done. Why keep out of the
fighting line a man so intrepid and so
skilled? Why keep out a soldier who
could render such valuable and valiant
service in the war ?"

From evidence bearing upon the

brought out that there are now at the
front 37S airplanes bearing the
American insignia. These planes are
being used by 12s American aviators,
who constitute seven squadrons. Few
OF the planes are of American manu-
facture.
There are now l,746 American avi-

BURIAN SAYS FURTHER
BLOODSHED IS USELESS


Basel. Switzerland, oct. l6.--The Cen
trail Powers found themselves no longer
able to hope for military decision In
their favor, and Bulgaria's demand for
peace only FASTENED the presentation OF
their peace propositions. Baron Burian.
The Austrp-Hungarian Foreign Minister
declared in a recent statement to the
Foreign Affairs Committee of the Hun
garian delegation at Vienna.
Although the Central Powers have
bten able to face the new military situa-
ton" the Foreign Minister said. "it
must be stated that we cannot hope any
longer for decisive success by arms.
while our adversaries are not sure of
their power to crush our resistance.
Hence further bloodshed is useless

, t"i wish to point out as a self-evident
fact, resulting from this close union OF
the allies that'we shall always regulate
our attitude in the approaching negotia-

PREPARE FOR THE
FALL GARDENING

/. Fab gardens are as important
and essential as spring gardens! do
your bit by planting one.
2. Keep the garden busy; as soon
as one vegetable is harvested plant
another.
8. Do not bury a lot o coarse
weeds and grass in preparing for fall
planting.
4. If the soil is not rich and loamy
use some well-rotted stable manure.
5. AS rule, seed should be plant
ed thicker and deeper in the fall
than in the spring.
6. To grow plants of cabbages,
caulifiower, Brussels sprouts, collards
and lettuce, SOW seed in drills in
shallow boxes filed with garden soil.
z. If it becomes necessary to irri-
gate, wet the soil thoroughly and cul-
tivate the same as after good rain.
8. Sow radish, turnip, mustard,
and spinach seed in drills and not
broadcast.
9. To set out plants make holes
with pointed stock or garden trow-
ell large enough to receive the
roots. Press the dirt firmly to the
roots and fill the depression with
water if the soil is dry. Draw dry
dirt over the wet spot to prevent
baging. A little shade will be ben
efcial.
10. Before transplanting such veg
etables as cabbage, caulifiower anf
lettuce clip off most of the leaf SUI
face, being careful, however, not Il
injure the bud.
IL. Hand-pick and destroy cabbage
worms and cutworms.-G. L. Tie
