NATIONAL DAIRY SHOW

There is every indication that the
thirteenth annual National Dairy
Show, which will be held this year in
Chicago from October to IL, will
attract unusually large crowds of Wis
itors from the outside and particular
ly along the lines of the Michigan
Central" says w. H. Hill, agricultural
agent for the Michigan Central rail-
road. "The close of the war has
shown conclusively that there must be
an increase in the output of our dair-
les, Europe is crying for dairy cows
and dairy products and it looks as If
the United States would have to take
a big hand in the rebuilding of the
dairy industry in Europe. The United
States government is fully alive to all
these conditions and is going to parti-
cipate in the Dairy Show this year in
very large manner. Congress made
a special appropriation of $4,000 to
enable different departments Of the
government to do this. The govern
ment, at the Dairy Show, will deliver
most important postwar message To
the world on dairying conditions and
at the same time, will fire the opening
guns in big campaign that has for
its object the Improvement Of the
physical condition Of the children OF
the country. Revelations that there
are some 100000 under-nourished
children in the country and that the
physical condition of millions Of our
children is bad has caused the govern
ment to determine to start big cam
paign to change conditions.

tional institution, long established
There is something in it for every per-
son in any way connected with the
dairy industry. l am given to under.
stand that the line of exhibits of cat
tie, machinery, dairy products and

terday that he ever had received any Oh
fer from Gottlicb Won Jagow, then Ger
man minister of foreign affairs, to carry
on German propaganda in France. lie
said that il he had received such an
offer he would have rejected it with
scorn.
Continuing, Judct declared that, dur
ing his political career. he had re-
ceived propositions of all kinds but
never had accepted them, inasmuch as
it was his opinion that politics was
not a commercial commodity.
Tuesdays Paris newspapers published
"A letter purporting to have been writ-
ten by Won Jagow to Baron Won der
Iiansken, at the time German clvll
governor of Belgium. saying Won Jago"
could obtain the services of Judet for
German propaganda in France for the
sum of 100000 francs.
Judet has been living in Berne since
1917, shortly after the arrest in Farls
of Bolo Pasha, who was executed, and
of Pierre Lcnoir, who has been con
dcmned to death, on charges similar
to those against Judet.

PEACE TREATY SOON
French Chamber Will Accept
Pact First and Discuss OBJ
jections Afterward
POSTWAR BILLS FOLLOW

Paris, Aug. Rehabilitation within
short time Of the peace treaty with
Germany, now before the Chamber of
Deputies, seems probable, despite the
views of some elements that France
is not guaranteed sufficient military
protection by the document. but the
ratification vote will not conclude the
debate on the treaty. After the pact
has been ratified, 'motions of regret,
embodyiug the objections to such clauses
of the document as have met with crit
icism. will be presented, thus reopen
ing the debate.
After these are disposed of, the
Chamber will pass TO discussion of the
Anglo American French treaty for the
protection of France in case of unwar-
ranted aggression by Germany. The de-
bate on this pact is expected to be brief.
as the government is considered likely
to content itself with making state
ment of the circumstances under which
the treaty was signed and explaining
what protection is afforded by 1t.
Then the Parliament will take up the
amnesty bill, in the controversy over
which the opponents of the government
are counted upon to marshal all theii
strength. Next on the program is thu
bill for the abolition Of courts martial
followed by a measure calling for thu
division Of Alsace and Lorraine into de
partments, like the other French prov
