Favors Convention
to Formulate Plans
for United States

we are running the United States
without a plan, said Prof P. G.
Holden, friend OF agriculture, and
former professor Of Ames Agricul-
tural college, in his address last
night before the implement farm
machinery section of the transmits
sissippi Readiustment congress at
the Young Mems Christian associa-
ton rooms.
He recommended the calling of a
national convention to formulate a
definite plan for the United States;
he recommended that the govern
ment use many Of the returning SOL
diers to reclaim swamp and arid
lands so that they can be made into
going farms before they are offered
to the soldiers and that the system
Of education be reformed so as to
direct young boys toward the farm
instead of away.
E. w. Mccullough of Chicago,
Oscar Rystrom of Stromsburg, Neb.,
and P. 6, Holden of Chicago, were
named a committee to formulate
the declarations of the meeting to
be submitted to the general assembly
Of the Transmississippi congress.
Mr.. Mccullough in opening the
meeting declared that industry has
taken the right attitude toward labor
the attitude that present wages are
Justified by present cost of living.
c. E. Gallagher of Coleridge, Neb.,
former president of the Midwest
Implement Dealers association de-
clared that the farmer has some
reason for fear in the fact that corn
has suffered q big drop, as we'll as

The implement men will hold an
other meeting this morning at the
Young Mems Christian association
rooms when E. w. Mccullough.
secretary Of the National Imple-
ment and Vehicle association, will
address them, and when the final
declarations will be agreed upon to
be brought before the general body
OF the congress.

that we do not want new war ond

No Alternative But to Sign.
Berlin, Feb. 1S-The German gov
ernment's reason for accepting the
stringent terms for the renewal Of
the armistice, as outlined in Wei
mar dispatch to the Norddeutsche
Allgemeine Zeitung, is that a re-
newal Of military operations follow
ing refusal to sign would lead to the
complete moral collapse of the Ger
man people. The absolute convic-
ton prevailed that refusal to sign or
dilatory treatment OF the proposals
would meet with an immediate adj
vance of the allied armies beyond
the Rhine, involving the occupation
of the most important and indispen-
sible industrial districts of west Ger
many.
The representatives of the parties
who participated in the cabinet de-
liberations agreed unanimously that
the people as a whole would neither
understand nor approve such an out
come, and that therefore there was
no alternative except to sign under
protest.
The Berlin papers generally come
to the same conclusion, except that
the conservative organs, such as the
Kreuz Zeitung and the Allgemeine
Zeitung, which declare that the gov
eminent should have refused to sign
the terms, thus forcing the allies to
take the responsibility for renewal
of military operations.
Complains of Hard Terms.
Paris, Feb. 18.-When the Ger
mans came to sign the terms of the
new armistice, says Havas dis
patch from Treves. Matthias Erz-
berger handed to Marshal Foch
23-page memorial, in which it was
attempted to justify Germany's at
titude, it being maintained that it
had done its best to meet its obi
cations.
He also gave the marshal mem
orandum from Philip Scheide-
mann, the new German chancellor,
complaining of the increasingly hard
terms forced upon Germany and
protesting against the Germans be-
ing forced to evacuate Poland, de-
livering German fortresses to the
Poles and abandoning the German
people there. A demand was made
that the allies require the Poles to
cease their attacks against the Ger
mans.
Requests Complied With.
This last request has already been
with, telegram having
been sent to Warsaw from Paris
last night. .....

While the cessation of attacks has

Commenting on the bolshevik

From the note Of Minister
Tchitcherin it appears clearly that
the bolsheviki are ready to sell Rus
sia at auction. They intend to ar
range this nicely at the Princes Is

The bolsheviki are increasing their
efforts to destroy the morale of the
new Russian conscFipt soldiers as
well as of the American and British
troops. Bolshevik propaganda, we'll
written and printed in English, has
been distributed mysteriously
among the various allied units.

forces are operating, call upon the
American soldiers to organize sol
diers' committees and demand Of the
officers that they be returned home
as the war with Germany is over
and there is no reason for remain
ing in Russia. While there has been
no appreciable effect because of the
bolshevik propaganda, the allied sol
diers are looking forward to some
statement as to what the allies in
tend to do with the forces here.

says the Havas report, that Marshal
Foch will be able to notify the Ger
mans on Thursday or Friday of the
military and naval terms winch will
be essentially those Of the prelimin-
airy peace treaty. Ii is understood
that the terms will include clauses
by which Germany will be allowed
to maintain only 100000 men under

ial beyond what is necessary to
equip these troops, would accord

Want Food Prices Fixed.
London, Feb. i7.-One of the
notes presented BY Matthias Erzberg-
er, one of the German armistice
commissioners to Marshal Foch at
Treves, on Friday complained of the
failure of the entente allies to COM
mence negotiations at Spa for a fl
nancial treaty with Germany, ac-
cording to a German wireless dis
patch picked up here. Erzberger
pointed out, according to the mes
sage, that the arrangements made
by the entente called for a begin
ming of negotiations on February
u, and that the German delegates
were at Spa to commence work.
He said it would be necessary in
connection with placing the German
commercial fleet at the disposal OF
the allies to arrive at an agree
ment regarding the amount and
price of foodstuffs to be supplied
Germany and concerning the manner
of payment, according to the mes
sage. He declared that as these
matters were not settled, it was
impossible to give instructions to
the commercial feet, for however
anxious the German government is
to. fulfill its engagements, it is its
solemn duty not to place the mer-
chant fleet under foreign control
until the purpose for which such a
significant and painful measure was
agreed upon has been assured"

Foch had been sternly insistent on

Allies to Check Poles.
He emphasized that the allies
would take over the responsibility OF
keeping the Poles in check and give
guarantees for the safety of the
Germans on the Polish side.
To Herr Erzberger's protests,
Marshall Foch replied that all were
purely military measures and in &C
cordance with President Wilson's
IA points.
Herr Erzberger protested likewise
against the indeterminate extension
of the arm:stice, but Marshal Foch
brusquely declined to make any al
iteration and insisted upon inclusion
of a clause which gives him power
to promulgate any order to Germany
at will. j..
Herr Erzberger then demanded
whether the short indetermlnate
continuation Of the armistice might
lead to an early peace, to which
Marshal Foch replied: Il think so;
/ assume So" 49,.
The minister said the difficulties
had been greater because the me-
gotiations had become sharper and
more acute recently, and long dis
cussion demonstrated that nothing
more would be changed.
