loughs to enlisted men to enable them to engage in farming during the pres ent season. Commanding officers may grant such furloughs within prescribed rules whenever it appears they. will contribute to increased farm pro duction.S
 F'urloughs may be given by com manding officers of posts, camps, can comments, divisions, and departments. They will be for short periods, largely for seeding and harvesting time. They will not be granted to enlisted men of or above the grade of first sergeant, nor in an organization that has been ordered to move or is in transit from points of mobilization or training to port of ernbart1ation. All fur loughs granted to their organizations when they have received preparatory orders for duty overseas.
 Furloughs granted for farm work will be without pay and allowances, except that enough pay will be re- tained in each case to meet al1otments in force nthe day of the order, war risk insurance, and pledges on Liberty bonds.
 For specially qualified experts in agriculture furloughs may be granted by the Secretary of War upon app1ica- ton by the Secretary of Agriculture, providing such furloughs are volun- tarily accepted by the persons for whom application is made.
 Individual applications for furioughs submitted by relatives will be on a form to be furnished by local draft boards. Two sections are to be made out and presented to the local board, which will complete the form
 If the furlough is granted the appli- cation will be filed by the commanding officer and certificate furnished the soldier. If not granted, the applica- tion will be returned with reasons for disapproval
 If the soldier initiated the applica- tion he will give the name of the per son for whom he desires to work, from whom will be ascertained the need for farm service.
 Furloughs may be granted en bloc to men who are willing to accept them, upon request of farmers, when time consumed in travelling from the post to the place of labor will not ex- ceed 24 hours. In making these ap- plications farmers will use form of the Provost Marchal Generals office also going to the local board.

Wisdom of Transfer of Portland Fran
 ehise to Providence Doubtful.

In some quarters there is a disposi- don to question the advisabilfty of linking up Providence in the Eastern league chain. Providence as an East ern league asset cannot be determined until it has had a chance to prove it. self. Whether or not Providence does well between Mondays and Fridays can still remain in doubt if Providence can deliver the crowds on Saturdays and Sundays. Baseball men in the Rhode Island city claim that Provi- dence will draw well enough on Satur- days and Sundays to make. the Mon day. through Friday baseball results of little account in the reckoning at the gate. If Providence fans object to what they believe will be a reduction in class of ball furnished them, there is still the argument to be trotted out that the new International league is preparing to operate wit tthe same salary limit and same guarantees that prevailed last season in the Eastern league.

FINANCIAL AND COMMERCIAL
MARKET ACCELERATED
Dull and Narrow in First Half, But
 Strengthened Later.

New York, April IS. = The stock markets extreme dependence upon the war situation was strikingly empha- sized in the course of today's opera tions. Trading was dull and narrow in the first half of the session, but broadened and strengthened later on news that French troops had rein forced the British along the northern rattle front.
 U. s. Steel featured the rise, being confidently absorbed in the usual large individual blocks at an extreme gain of 2 7-S. virtually all of which was held. Other equipments, coppers, shippings, oils, sugars and a miscella- reous variety of low priced special ties scored net gains of one to four points.
 Sales amounted to 535,OOO shares, the largest turnover in almost a month. Of this total, U. S. Steefs quota was about 30 per cent.
 Bonds were irregular, Japanese first fours declining 9-S and Paris 6's hardening a large fraction. Liberty issues were active, but variable. Sales, par value, aggregated s5,750,000. U. S. bonds, old issues, unchanged on call.

St. Paul. Minn., April lS.-Selaction of the Twin Cities as the site for hold ing the contest for the heavyweight boxing championship of the world be- tween Jess Willard, champion, and Fred Fulton, the Rochester, M.nn., challenger, is contingent upon the raising of a subscription of s1o,000 in St. Paul and Minneapolis This an- nouncement was made tonight after a congerence between Colonel J. C. Mill Ter, who will stage the battle, and local promoters and enthusiasts. Colonel Miller, was told that the s10,000 prac- ticalIy was already subscribed and that guarantee would be forthcoming by Saturday.
 July was tentatively fixed as the date for the contest, which, according to the state law, may not exceed ten rounds. The result of the battle will hinge on the referees decision should both men be on their feet at the end of the ten rounds.
 Must Have Good Location.
 Holding of the bout in St. Paul or Minneapolis, Colonel Miller stated, de- pended mainly upon a desirable loca- tion. Lexington baseball park, St. Paul, is the first choice for the scene Of the conflict, but a baseball game is scheduled there for that afternoon. If it is impossible to postpone or to switch the game to some other city on one of the most profitable dates of the schedule, Colonel Miller stipulates that the bonus of $10,oOO be used to- ward construction of an area in the midway district between St. Paul and Minneapolis.
 The exact site for the battle will have to be approved by Miller. The place suggested in the midway dis trict is in St. Paul. close to the Min neapolis line. It is understood that Minneapolis will also offer a location.
 Willard Wants 20 Rounds. cago, said today that he would like a longer route than the ten rounds scheduled with Fred Fulton to decide the worlds championship.
 However" he added, "the short route with a referees decision may satisfy the public I would prefee twenty, although I am confident I can retain the title in any circumstances"
 No Interference From Governor.
 Governor Burnquist indicated this afternoon that he would not interfere with the first as the state laws were carefully observed.
 50 far as the governor is involved, the only authority he has is to see that the provisions of the law are met can do nothing more in this caseP he said.
