British Government in
 Effort to Settle Strike
By Associated Press

London, February 16.-The government has decided to convene, probably within the present month, national conference of representatives of capital and labor to seek settlement of the present indus trial unrest.
 It is understood that representatives of the employers and all the leading trades unions will be invited and that the pre- mier is devoting himself actively to the promotion of this conference which will be the most important ever assembled to deal with labor problems. It is ex- pected that there will be sitting before the threatened miners strike begins in the middle of March.

DEATH SEEMED INEVITABLE

we never thought 6 man of us would get out of that fighting alive and it is the most wonderful thing in the world to me that man could live through it.. The shell holes were so thick that a man with good vaulting pole could have traveled five miles without ever standing outside of shell hole One of the bravest things I ever saw was Lieut. Author V. Savage of Company B, Thir- tieth infantry, whose platoon was placed right on the spot where the Germans crossed the Marne. He said he would never retreat, and with an automatic rifle, he killed six Germans before he was finally killed. His men mad to give ground after he was killed"
 When asked of the criticism that has been coming to the '. Nj. C. A. Mir Guin said that he knew nothing of it in France and that the first ntimation he had of it was when he started home.
 Tn my division the " men served the soldiers in the front line trenches just as they served them behind the lines and in America. There were instances of great bravery on the part of the men who wore the Red Triangle just as there was bravery on the part of the soldiers. We were all Americans over there to- sether and it seems foolish to hear any, pody state that any class of Americans dld not go to the front or wherever their duty required them to go. But I'll tell the world that I did not expose myself when there was no necessity for it. And didn't see anybody else over there so wanting Tn good judgment as to take uncalled for risks

LOCAL NAN ADVOCATES
FARM BOOKKEEPING IN
SCHOOL cURRICULUM

An Evening Capital reader makes
contribution OF the following. which
VIII be found of interest To those hav-
ing at heart the success Of the coun-
try school
IN 4 recent issue Of The Maryland
Farmer, progressive agricultural
weekly published Id Baltimore. there
is an interesting article on the sub
3ect Of elementary bookkeeping In the
rural schools. written by b well-known
resident Of the Second district, Anne
Arundel Co, r w X. Howat. Mr.
Howat is an np-to-date young farmer
Of this locality, as well as success
ful civil and efficient engineer who ad-
yertises IN the local papers. Mr.
Howat argues conyincingly that farm
bookkeeping should be taught the chill
dren OF farmers In the rural schools
and hopes that Maryland will set the
example to other states By making
this d part or her school curriculum.
Writing from personal experience
and observation Mr.. H0sRat diyides
farmers tntd four classes, viz:
F'lrst, foreigners who have come
to this country, the older generatiar
of which cannot read or write our
language snfFiciently and therefrre do
not use record books.
Second, Americans. comparatively
unlettered, owing To hard work during
youth and lack Of advantages
Third. the Average farmer with
education whether raised on the farm
or not.
Fourth, the man with the agricul-
tural college education.
Now to find means to induce each
of these classes to keep records. The
answer is, teach farm bookkeeping In
ali rural schools
All parents are interested In what
their chilGren are learning sit school
and they will be douhly interested III
this because 1t has relation to their
every day life II IS natural step
then for the farmer 70 start q farm
record and possibly have the school

and when It comes time for the
youngster to take over farm he will
not only realize the necessity Of farm
records, bur win be equipped with the
necessary knowledge Of how 70 keep

be eorrsned to the boys Our exper
