BLANKS FOR GETTING
SOLDIER ON FURLOUCH
Enough Red Tape About 1t To
Fence a Farm But It Can
Be UnWOund

Application blanks whereby anyone
following agriculture may apply for
the furlough of a soldier for the pur-
pose of engaging him in agricultural
work have been received by the local
board of Marion county for division
No. l.
The blanks ask for the furlough Of
a soldier, specifying that he is to be
engaged only in agriculture. They pro-
vide that information must be given
as to the location of the farm, name
iof owner or tenant, number of males
above the age of IA working on the
farm and the number of acres in cul-
tivation.
Besides this definite information,
the number of horses, cattle, hogs and
sheep on the farm must be given and
also the market value of last years
production and the anticipated value
of this years. crops and the farm ma
iehinery used.
Then in order to secure the soldier
for farm work, the blank requires ex-
perience as to his farming ability,
what wages are paid in the vicinity
and if farm labor is available. Ans
wers to these questions must all be
sworn to-
The local board takes the appliea-
ton under consideration and either
grants o. refuses the request. The
county agent or government appeal
agent then either concurs or dissents
from the findings of the board. Then
the soldier joins in the application and
to give his time to the work on
the farm and that if for any reason his
services are urgently needed before
the expiration of the f~urlough, to re-
port Immediately for military duty.
The papers asking for the furlough
are then passed up tor the commanding
officer where the soldier is stationed
and it is either approved or disapprov-
ed. If disapproved, the commanding Of
.fieer gives his reasons.

THE OREGON LEGION
OF. HOME DEFENSE
To Assist In Harvesting Crops
or Any Other Patriotic
Work

Men haven't a monopoly on patri'
otto stuff by any means, as three
young ladies of the state house yester-
day afternoon decided that the women
of the town should do something TO
make the world safe for democracy.
Hence, Miss Virginia Weehter with
the Desert Land board, Miss Grace
Babcock with the State Water board

The organization is TO be semi-mlli-
tary and the purposes OF the UrganlZar
ton are about as follows:
To do our part in the gigantic strng.
git in which the nation is now engag-
ed, and to prevent the recurrence Of
the outrages that have been ~perpetrat
ed upon the helpless, unprotected and
un0ffending the past four years.
To assist the home guards in har-
.vesting crops or any other service
which may be within their scope to
perform
To place their organization at the
disposal ad state and national authorl-
tics.
Members Of the organization agree
to aequaint themselves with military
evolutions SO as to execute them with
dispaseh Alto 10 obey orders Of those
who may be elected TO command.

AMERICANS TO
FIGHT With The
ITALIAN ARMY
King Victor's Desire for q.
S. Troops Will Be
Gratified
(Rv Associated Press.l

New York, May 25-Secretary OF
War Baker announced in an address
here last night in celebration Of 1tal ~
Day that American infantry, Ameri-
can machine gun units and Arnerl~
can artillery soon would be hghtlng
shoulder to shoulder with the Ital-
ians on their front.
At the close of the meeting a
group Of young Italians presented TO
Secretary Baker an American flag
which he announced ne would place
personally ''in the hands Of the flag
bearers of the first military contin-
gent OF the United States which
leaves to join the Italian army on
the italian front"
Recent reports from Rome have
quoted King Victor Emmanuel as
expressing a desire to see American
soldiers on the Italian front and It
has been well known that Italy as a
whole would welcome American
fighting forces: Official announce
ment, however, was not given until
last night by the war department
and that the United States would
meet this wish. 1t is presumed that
word Of the proposed action was
withheld to form a fitting climax for
the Italy Day celebration, When the
people Of Italy and the United States
pledged faith one to the other.
In referring to the intention OF the
United States government to send
part Of it's fighting forces to Italy
Mr.. Baker said that there were al
ready in Italy representatives OF

carrying the message Of our heart
and head to Italy. The Young Mems
Christian Association Is extending
it's work there and the American
army is already represented in Italy
by a large and important staff of
experts who are studying italian
methods Of warfare and we have
sent to Italy substantial number
of our army's sanitary corps, so that
we have doctors and nurses OF the
American army already there.

tant future American infantry, Amer

According to documents found on
Prof. deValera, he had worked out
in detail the constitution Of reb-
ell army. He hoped to be able to
muster 100000 trained mon. There
is evidence that German munitions
actually had been shipped on sub

ginning OF May and that for some
time German submarines have been
busy off the west coast Of Ireland
on other errands than the destruc-
ton Of allied shipping.

Of the discussions, but since Ameri-

the effect upon relations between
Mexico and the United States of
Mexico's break with Cuba AS Cuba
is in ali but name an ally of the
United States, any action even by
a neutral government, directed
against her must be a matter of sert-
Gus concern to the United~States.
While the almost invariable rule Of
international law is that a breach of
diplomatic relations is followed by
actual war, in the present situation
there is lacking an element Of asper-
ity that makes hostilities inevitable
in such cases.
Broke to Avoid War.
One high official expressed the
opinion that the present status was
not actually equivalent to a complete
breach Of relations.
It was said officially that Foreign
Minister Aguilar's course was un-
usual and no official could recall a
precedent for a suspension of diplo-
matte relations which was designed
to prevent q possible quarrel between
two governments. The action Of the
Mexican authorities appeared to be
based to some extent upon the as
sumption that the Cuban government
in carrying on the war would be COM
pelleQ 10 take steps TO winch mexican
residents in Cuba would object and
that the Mexican government would
be obliged to support those objections
if automatically represented in
Havana, which might lead to
trouble. One Of the possibilities of
the situation Is that suspension Of
diplomatic relations might also fol-
low between Mexico and Guatemala,
Costa Rfca and Nicaragua since all
Of these countries have declared war
upon Germany and Mexico's relations
with them are similar to those she
has with Cuba. It was not believed
the Mexican government would ex-
tend such action to the United States.
Some friction has arisen over the ac-
ton of the American and British CON
sular officers at Guaymas, in seeking
to enforce provisions Of the American
blacklist.
