WORK IS AGREEING
 WITH PRESIDENT
Is Reported Much Better Today After His Letter Writing of
 Yesterday.

Washington, Oct 22-President Wilson was said by Secretary TumuI- ty to be in fine shape" this morning after the most active day yesterday he has had since he became ill. Early this morning Mrs. Wilson telephoned MT. Tum!llty that the president was anxious for information as to the situation in the national industrial conference.
 Although pr. Grayson, the presi- dents physician has insisted the fact that MT. Wilson was permitted to dictate a letter yesterday to Secre- tary Lane regarding the industrial conference did not mean he would be allowed to resume active work, MT. TumultY said that if any bills had been ready today for the presidents signature they would have been laid before him.
 The secretary explained that bills recently passed by congress including the prohibition enforcement measure, were before the respective departm ent heads who are interested
 The prSidnt had until midnight of October 2S to act on the prohibition bill. Should he not act by that time the measure automatically would be- come d law
 The presidents physicians reported that MT. Wilson last night had one of the best nights since he became ill. They issued this bulletin:
 White House, Oct. 22, 1919, 11:10 a. m:
 The president had until midnight of nights since his illness began His temperature, pulse and respiration rates COntinup normal His 6ioeStio, is more satisfactory"

Although hundred or dock workers were congregated the vicinity of the big transatlant| steamship piers there at an early hou| promises yesterday to return to woI in the Chelsea district one of the mol important on the New York watd front, brought no results. It was d the word of the Chelsea longshoremd that officials based their prediction a break in the strike here.
 T. Y. OConnor, president of the i'd ternatonal longshoremen's associatio| to whom the promise to return work had been made, expressed suI prise when infOrmed this morning the failure of the Chelsea longshor r, men to resume work on time.
 He said that failure of the rigge local to resume labor probably WI the reason for the longshoremen's il activity. He explained that inasnuc as the rlggerS operate the tackle an lines OH the ships and piers it woul be impossible for longshoremen to b, gin work without them.
 t'oremen's whistles were blown ft resumption of work at piers along tl North river water front from the Baa tery to 23d street as was customat before the strike in summoning tI men to work. Not a man moved tc ward the piers in response to the si, nalS..

DIPLOMATIC PLANS
 AMONG ALLIES
Austria, Hungary and Turkey to Be Reduced in Rank-Germany Is Rec O9niZeu.

oShlLCu
 Washington, Oct. 22.--"Charge rf embassy' will be the rank of the first American diplomatic represents atiVe to Germany after the ratification of the peace treaty, for not until sufficient time has elapsed to test the workings of the treaty and the spirit in which the present government of Germany undertakes to carry out it's provisions will the representative give place to it fully accredited ambassador.
 This plan, it was learned today, also will be followed by the Entente gov ernments.
 There is no disposition, it was learn ed, to reduce the rank of the Ameri- can diplomatic representation in Ger many, which still remains one of the great nations of the world. But it is understood to be planned to mak C such d change in the case of AuStrlu Hungary. Separated as the two states are into two separate nations, greatly reduced in size and and importance, these countries will be regarded as properly entitled to missions only and d minister plenipOtentiaIy will be pro- Nided for each.
 The Turkish em bassy a so is due for reduction in rank, it was learned Con sidering the small size of the country which will remain under Turkish con- trol, the remnant may have to be con- tent to share an American minister with Bulgaria and any leSser-State that may remain in the Balkans. BecuSe it is yet uncertain how far the peace conference or the Entente powers which were at war With Turkey will go towards the total elimination of the Turk as governmental entity, it is yet unsettled how America shall be diplo- matiCally represented there.

best to kneel, and if she knee1s, how
to knee1, and in handling tools where
to grasp them. placing one hand for

cover only about ten days; it is not
proposed to make agriculturists of
these women in ten days, however,

D. c. FARMERETTES
!. FACE BUSY SEASON
Calls Are Coming in Daily at
Office of Woman's
Land Army.
GIRLS ARE BEING TRAINED

Farmers and truck gardeners in the
vicinity of the National Capital are
planning to make large use of District
farmerettes, judging from the calls
coming in daily to the local Office of
the Woman's Land Amy. 1t is be-
lieved that greatsr acreage will be
planted by the agriculturists if they
feel that the farmerettes are ready to
lend a hand.
Special consideration is being given
by the Woman's Land Army of Ameri-
ca to the training of girls in the craft
of handling tools. Miss Edith Diehl
formerly of Wellesley College, has
been secured as. national director of
training, and is developing plans for
number of special summer courses
in various sections of the country
The state agricultural colleges have
heretofore offered special courses in
farming only in the winter, when the
farmer and his family could attend.
Special Courses Outlined.
| Through the recommendation of Miss
Diehl, and with her cooperation, these
special summer courses for women
have been outlined, and are becom-
ing very popular among teachers and
Office women who find it both a recrea-
tion and a pleasure to devote their
summer vacationFto agricultural work.
Miss Diehl is a pioneer in training
women for farm work. She conducted
last season a demonstration training
camp at Wellesley for farmerettes and
for supervisors. She emphasizes the
fact that farming is craft-the craft
of handling tools-and points out par
ticularly the science and the art in
farming. Her: chief object in the
training course for farmerettes, is to
familiarize the girls with the proper
handling of tools, with the proper
manner of executing a given farm
operation. In running the Wellesley
College experiment station and train
ing camp she introduced wide series
of experiments in order to demon
strate the value of training in the
handling of such simple tools as hose.
spades and rakes and the records OF
those experiments show that in some
instances they almost Go lied the out
