LONDON, April 17-There is a

it is not true that America and Eu-

Pointing out the difficulties of af-

complete breakup is threatened in
Russia, Austria and Turkey.
"There is no authority throughout
Russia" he said. "The question of
recognition Of the Soviet Government
has never been proposed OF
discussed"
"The internal condition in Russia
does not justify a gigantic military
enterprise" said Lloyd George. "I
would rather leave Russa to the Boil

to have Britain a bankrupt. 1t is

here Is Prospect of General Sympathetic Strike of

The immediate cause for a labor
disturbance which may extend to tele-

telegram which Mr. Burleson sent
yesterday to Joseph H. Gamer, Mayor
of Providence, in which it appeared
that the Postmaster General may
sanction sending strike-breakers into
New England to maintain the servic-
es, which it is charged, the strike has
demoralized.
Such a policy, it was declared
would arouse intense resent
ment in all labor circles, particularly
among telegraph operators, who are
now voting on whether they will
strike for higher pay. The New Eng
land operators are affiliated with the
union of telegraph operators and

IMPLEMENTS COST MORE;
REQUIRE BETTER CARE

One Of the biggest leaks In the farm
ing business Is caused by the lack OF
care given farm implements and ma
chinery, according to E. B. Doran. as
sistant professor Of agronomy, Louis
lana State University. "The care OF
farm machinery" says Mr.. Doran,
means ~ protecting IT from the
weather at all times; (2) seeing that
It is properly operated, well luori;
Gated, and doing only the work for
which it was built; and (S) making
sure that it is at all times in good
working order for the sake OF the
machine itself and to avoid loss OF
time in the field.
"The necessity for taking good care
OF farm implements Is more vital now
than ever before. The prices are
high and materials are scarce even
though the war is over. And the
probabilities are that this condition
will continue for several years longer.

ton by conserving farm equipment

Three cheers will be given; the
practical aid also for nothing is too
good for them. The Federal
Board for Vocational Education,
Washington, wishes to be advised
of the name of each disabled SOL
dier aud sailor as soon as he re-
turns. A personal interest will
be taken in each case reported
and an opportunity given for
learning some trade, making each
man independent and selfsupport-
ing. It is optional whether or
not this offer if taken advantage
of, but each man will be given an
opportunity TO avail himself to the
training he particularly desires.
You may assist in this work by
reporting to the chairman OF your
Parish Council of Defense the
name of each disabled soldier or

ity. Let US show our apprecia-
ton of the sacrifice these men
have made by assisting them to
secure future happiness through
