Socialists Protest.

Berlin, Sunday, May 11.-Al-
though the Independent Socialists at
the outset of the discussion over the
peace treaty adopted the standpoint
that peace must be signed at all
costs, the tremendous pressure of
public expression, violent in its pro-
test aainstg the treaty's terms, has
led them to reconsider their view,
many of them joining the multitude
that is protesting against the signing.
In the name of the Independent
Socialist party, Richard Weller told
the workmen's councils of Greater
Berlin that such "a dictated peace of
cruel severity as the entente desires
to impose upon Germany could not
insure lasting peace. Therefore, he
demanded the assembling of a con-
gress of the councils to determine
their attitude toward the question
and to appeal to the entente prole-
tariat to work against the peace
proposed by entente world imperial
ism as embodied in the treaty"
Herr Mueller, another of the In
dependent leaders, seizes the occa-
sion again to assail the old imperial
istic regime in Germany, which he
declares incurred blood guilt by the
invasion Of France and Belgium and
the destruction Of mines and indus
tries.
Arguing against the prevalent pro-
tests, Karl Kautsky, writing in the
Independent organ, Die Freiheit,
says:
"Shall We sign the peace if it is
not too modified, or have We not any

A Chance for Thrift.

The terms offered for the final is- sue of Liberty bonds are so very fay- orable that anyone with the least spirit of thrift ought to wish to par ticipate. Never again will a bond of the United States sell so cheap.
 In these times of prosperity and good wages, everyone except the v.c tims of special misfortune, ought to be setting aside some money reeu- larly. The business man should like these bonds for his surplus. because they can be turned into cash so quickly. The rate oe interest is so good that they are not likely to fall below par. People with little know ledege of investments should appre- ciate this issue, because it gives them a good rate without the least risk.
 Apart frona the other far more weighty reasons, and looked at pure Iy as a businsss proposition, this loan should sell without difficulty.

Japan Opposed to
Racial Discrimination

PARIS, April 9.-(By the Associ-
ated Press) No Asiatic nation could
be happy in a league of nations in
which sharp racial discrimination is
maintained, Baron Maxine, head of
the Japanese delegation to the peace
conference, declared in a statement
to the Associated Press today on the
position of Japan.
1--WE are not too proud to tight"
the baron said, 'but we are too
proud to accept a place of admit
or two more associate nations. We
want nothing but simple justice"
Japan is glad to join a league
of nations to maintain peace and
order, the baron added.
Japan does not wish, he continued,
to force her laborers as immigrants
on any associate countries and rec
ognizes that this question is one for
each nation to deal with itself.

MEN WHO BEAR
WOUNDED FROM
FIELD BRAVEST
Stirring Account of Heroism
of StretCher Bearers Given
by Chaplain

"They are the bravest men on
earth, these stretcher bearers, who
go under the shells and machine
gun bullets and bring back the
wounded who are too badly injured
to walk back to the lines" said Chap
lain Bill" Hart, of the Ono Hundred
and Fortieth infantry, a part of the
Thirty-fifth division, who has just re-
turned to this country.
"They are supposed to be. men not
up to the usual mark of fighters, but
they have done wonders. Many a
mother would be mourning for her
boy if some one of these lads had
not rescued "hi mat the risk of his
own life.
Just before I came away told
group of Stretcher bearers who
We're complaining because they had
to wear the blue brassards which
designate their work that the bras
sard, in my opinion, is the greatest
medal of the war"
Father Hart told of watching four
stretcher bearers who went out to
rescue a soldier who had been in OPP
posing tank fire. By some miracle
they escaped the cross-fire bullets
and got their man. Then suddenly
a shell burst on them and three
stretcher bearers and the wounded
soldier were blown to atoms. The
fourth bearer, a chap by the name
of Mcclellan, escaped practically I'M
hurt with only a piece of the handle
remaining in his hand.
Father Hart was cited by the ma
jor, General Traub, commanding of
ficer of the division, for bravery in
leading into action a group of SOL
dierS who had become demoralized
after losing their officers. The fight
ing priest is reticent on the part he
played, but the facts as given by a
friend are as follows:
On September 20 the Germans
launched a heavy attack in the vi
come, where the One Hundred and
Fortieth infantry was located. I'm
der the leadership of Colonel Della
PLANE the boys from Kansas and
Missouri went forward in a drizzling
rain. The Germans sent over waves
of gas and machine gun bullets into
the ranks of the regiment. Among
those who fell were the officers of
one company. The men without lead
ership became demoralized and be-
gan falling back in disorder and
alarm. At this point Chaplain Hart
aged them to gather themselves to-
keep on forward, forward" his
friends quote him as saying to the
men, "the Germans are straight
ahead. boys. Go at them and give
them hell"
The men followed him forward
and took part in the thickest of the
fighting and repulsed the enemy.
Father Hart modestly said that all
he did was to give the boys two or
three raisins each or a piece of hard
candy from a supply he happened to
have with him in his pockets at the
time.

UNCLE SAM TO
HAVECENSUSOF
FARMS JAN. |
Data viii Be Collected on
New Year Instead of April,
as Usual

Uncle Sam has decided to take the
/, 1920, instead of collecting this
data as of April 5, as was done in
1910. The date was changed be-
cause farmers ordinarily are very
busy with the rush of spring work
about the middle of April, also be-
cause the April Is date comes dur
ing the midst of the breeding sea-
son when the number of young stock
is not comparable between northern
and southern regions, and finally be-
cause the returns on the crops OBJ
tanned during the winter are more
accurate than those obtained later
and comparable with the December
estimate of the bureau of crop es-
Inmates.
The United States department of
agriculture is assisting the census
cultural census as accurate and val
liable as possible. To limited de-
gree the character of the informa-
ton to be secured will differ from
previous enumerations, because of
Slight changes in the questions which
the enumerators will ask farmers.
These changes in the schedule of
questions have been made by conn
mittee composed of l.. M. Estabrook,
G. w. Thompson, o. E. Baker, L. c.
Corbett and F. w. Farley, represent
ing the United States department of
agriculture; H. C. Taylor, of the Uni
versity of Wisconsin, recently APP
pointed chief of the office of farm
management of the department of
agriculture, and G. F. Warren, of
Cornell, in conference with officials
of the census bureau.
The questions include information
on the acreage and production of
the crops, amount sold or to be sold,
live stock classification both by sex
and age, acreage of woodland and
the amount of land on farms drained
and needing drainage. Special con-
sideration will also be given to mat
tiers of land tenure, farm mortgages,
land utilization, the amount of land
and acreage of crops irrigated, num-
bers of young live stock sold, pur-
chased. slaughtered and died on the
farms, and quantity of dairy prod
ucts and wool produced. Owing to
the fundamental Importance of these
statistics, which provide basic infor-
nation relative to farms and farm
ing in the United States, it is hoped
that farmers throughout the coun-
try will assist. the census enumer-
ators in every way possible in Sc
curing accurate, reliable and COM
plete information.
