AMERICAS OBJECT.

THE object of this war is to deliver the free
peoples of the world from the menace and
the actual power of vast military establish
ment controlled by an irresponsible govern
ment which, having secretly planned to dom
mate the world. proceeded to carry the plan
out without regard either to the sacred obi
cations OF treaty or the long established
practices and long-cheriShed principles OF in
ternational action and honor; which chose it's
own time for the war; delivered its blow
fercely and suddenly; stopped at no barrier
either of law or of mercy; swept whole con-
tinent within the tide OF blood-not the blood
of soldiers only, but the blood of innocent
women and children also and of the helpless
poor; and now stands baked but not defeat
ed, the enemy of fOur-fifthS of the world. -

riculture. American farmers are asked
to SOW TO winter wheat this fall not
less than 45,O0O,O0O acres--an in
crease Of Z per cent over last years
gests that an even greater area, ap-
proximately 47.500,OOO acres-an in
crease of more than ~ per cent over
last year-could be sown II conditions
are especially favorable in all the
States and would better meet the
needs of the Allied Nations at war.
From the smaller acreage a harv-
est Of 636 million bushels might be
expected, it is estimated and from the
larger acreage 667 millions, based
upon an average yield of 1877 bushels
an acre and an abandonment of 10 per
cent of the area sowp on account OF
winter kill. The plan fixes definite
+, acreages by States, and in a campaign
to be launched Immediately by the
Department and the State agricultur-
al colleges and leading farmers
throughout the country, growers will
be asked to make good their State quo
tas. The recommendation regarding

herence to its food rulings; but if they

to law.

NED MILLER SEEKS
ARMY REINSTATEMENT

Flying Cadet Ned Miller, of this
city, is home from Florida with an
honorable discharge from the service
for the discipline Of the Army. Mr..
Miller has already started to work
seeking for reinstatement. His dis
charge was under the peculiar cir
cumstances and at a time when only
five hours more duty would have re-
suited in his procuring commission.
Mr.. Miller states that he was taking
a cross-country flight when engine
trouble forced him to alight in the Ev-
erglade swamps some S5 miles from
his camp at Arcadia, Fla. The aviators
are instructed in such cases to imme-
diately seek the nearest telephone and
notify the camp of their predicament
and then guard their plane until aid
arrives.
Mr.. Miller started to look for a
house and was met by man, residing
nearby, who had seen him come down
and was seeking him. The man was in
boat and rowed Mr.. Miller upon
canal where the boat was left in the
weeds and they walked to the house
where the message of his accident was
relayed to his commanding officer.
Mr.. Miller, when he met the man, tried
to get him to guard his "ship" while
he telephoned, but the latter refused,
saying he would not remain in the
swamp at night unless he had tent.
By the time Mr.. Miller had completed
his telephone message, ii was dark,
end tfe man stated he could not guide
him back to the "ship" becausa it
would be impossible to find it in the
jungle of the swamp.
Mr.. Miller, knowing nothing Of tho
swamps there, decided the wise thing
to do was to remain at the house all
nght as he knew he could not locate
: his machine, and he had orders to use
his judgment in such cases. He did so
and the next morning the machine was
flown back to camp. On reporting tC
the officer in command that he had moi
guarded the ship" all night he was
taken before a military commission
and upon the suggestion of the Officer
in charge was given an honorable dis
charge, the grounds being that he haC
j oycrstcpped his instructions. Mr.. Mil
e Ter says his escape from death OF
D alighting in the swamp was almos
; miraculous, as it was anything but ;
good place for bringing the "ship'
down.
Mr.. Miller is one of Mexico's younl
: men who has the highest standing
here and bears reputation above re
proach. He has been made an ex
I ample of for "the good of the service
= and we hope that he will be re-instate
/ at once and given the privilege @
completing his work and procuring
" commission. His record as a flyer ha
Z been of the best, and his shown
throughout his training is above rt
: proach. Mr.. Miller says if he is nc
o. re-instated in the flying service, h
will enlist in another branch Of tn
Army.
