President George Gordon Crawford in a, letter to Chairman John [.

 The receipt of this letter caused much gratification at headquarters and when read at the allied armies lunch con 1t was greeted with applause.
 The allied armies and the other mems and womens organizations will make a strenuous effort to put the loan across in Birmingham and Jeff ferson county by tomorrow night. Quite a large sum remains to be raised, but with the energetic hustling and enthusiasm that they have always thrown into their work no such wovd as fan will be entertained for mo- ment

 The 167th regiment is scheduled to arrive in Birmingham tomorrow night and Chairman Kaul Field Marshal Tom O. Smith. Mrs. S l.. Ledbetter and Mrs. Conrad Ohme, chairmen of the city and county women's committees and all their assistants and workers are determined that the flag of vic tory in this drive shall float over the city and county when the first soldier sets foot on dear old Alabama soil again,
 In dismissing the allied armies and the other workers at the luncheon yesterday Field Marshal Smith feeling ly referred to the happy associations 7 formed in the past two years by the men and of Birmingham working shoulder to shoulder in the cause of their country, and reluctantly an- nounced that perhaps this was the last time the armies and the workers would ever come together in one body.
 Tt is the greatest organization ever formed in Jefferson county" said Field Marshal Smith, his voice trembling, "and the great work it has done will never be forgotten These armies have written glorious pages in the history of their home city and county and theig country will ever cherish their mem : ory"

WILSON HALTS
[continued From Page one.l


to their rigid primary purpose of pre-
serving Anglo-American solidarity.
Once more, the French, who were
called on as usual to make whatever
material sacrifice was necessary, have
made it with the utmost promptitude.
The French sacrifice was twofold.
They had been promised that before
the end of March a preliminary peace
would settle the question of their
it would give them at least a start
in the direction Of financial repara-
ton.
No Change in Terms.
I do not understand that there Is
any question that the actual terms OF
what was to have been a preliminary
treaty of peace have been challenged
by Mr.. Wilson. 1t may well be that
Lloyd George and Clemenceau in con.
ference with the president reached an
agreement that postponement would
not bring any such challenge. but this
remains to be disclosed in the future
1t would be inaccurate to say that
Mr.. Wilson had won a new victory
because he encountered no opposition
nor was there any thought on the
part of either the French or the Brit
ish to make even an indirect proposal
to Republican opposition in America
The truth is that the British and the
French up to the moment of the pres
idents arrival, believed he was in &C
cord with what was being done. Once
this was rather surprisingly disclosed
to be a mistake. they promptly chang
ed their plans to suit his desire.
There is no gainsaying the fact
that the change may bring real anG
widespread disappointment in Europe
The desire for some sort of prelimin
airy arrangement which should at least
make a real beginning in peace con
ditions and make it promptly was al
most incalculable. But if the desire is
universal, recognition of the necessity
of preserving the good will of America
The Richmond palladium and sun-telegram. [volume] (Richmond, Ind.) 1907-1939, 1919-03-20

is as generally existent; neither Lloyd
George nor Clemenceau could afford
to make issue over question IN which
the president of the United states
manifested an inflexible determination
to press his own policy.
What Incident illustrates.
Nor is 1t wise to conclude that be-
cause there will be general disap'
pointment il there is further delay,
there will be enduring resentment. On
the contrary, the whole episode illus.
trates what l have so often attempted
to explain in my dispatches, namely
the conviction in Europe that at all
costs American wishes should be com
piled with; second the conviction that
the president of the United States
speaks the will of America.
The truth is that so great was the
desire in Europe for prompt ar
rangement that not a few believed the
presidents course might arouse actual
opposition. When no opposition ma
terialized it was recognized that Mr.
Wilson had resumed the position
which he occupied at the outset. tha'
his prestige had been enhanced rather
than decreased by the events OF his
American visit.
Now comes great Quesuon: How
long is postponement of the prelimin
airy peace treaty to be expected? an
told by the American spokesman thai
the league of nations covenant can be
in shape on Thursday, and that the
whole treaty can be ready for the
Germans on April 1. / am told in Ger
tain other quar- that it will be
May l before the preliminary treaty
is ready.
Delay May Be Slight.
If the treaty is ready by April l, the
delay will be slight, although it will at
least momentarily interrupt British
and French rehabilitation, which car
not go much further until Germany is
disarmed II there be no treaty before
May, it will mean deferring European
hopes for at least five weeks
One important circumstance is the
future course of Lloyd George. He
was to go to England at the end OF
this week. his presence there was re
quired by conditions growing out OF
the miners strike. If he goes, deci
sions will necessarily wait on his re
turn. But at least among Americans

BETTER STOCK
PRODUCTION IS
URGED BREEDERS
Christie Advocates Adoption
Of Better Management
Methods on Indiana Farms.

INDIANAPOLIS, March 20-Speak-
ing before 600 members Of the Indiana
Beef and Dairy Cattle Breeders asso-
Citations, other stockmen and their
guests from adjoining states at a
banquet at Tomlinson hall last night,
forerunner OF the statewide live
stock rally to be held today, G. l.
Christie, assistant secretary OF agri-
culture, made plea for the keeping
of more and better live stock on
and the more general adoption of
better management of Hoosier forms
His address, which was filled with
stories of success taken from actual
cases In this state. served as an in
spiration for the keeping of more an
imals of a higher type.
More and better live stock will
make Indiana agriculture more perma-
nent and profitable" said Prof. Chris
tie. Evidence from thousands Of
farms proves this statement.
Reports from the Bureau of Crop
Estimates show an increase Of 927 900
head Of live stock on Indiana farms
Jan. /. 1919, over that of 1910. The
placing of 10000 silos on Hoosier
farms is also conclusive proof that
live stock production is on the in
crease.
More Live Stock Needed.
But more livestock should be kept
to save tremendous loss Of soil fer
tility which is now being sold from
farms in this state. During the last
year farmers sold in corn, rye, oats.
barley, hay and straw. fertility valued
at more than 100000 200. They bought
back fertility in the form OF CONNER
cial fertilizer to the extent Of $4,000
900. While farmers might purchase
larger amount of fertilizer to re-
place the fertility sold in crops, yet
the humus content Of the soil is not
replenished or maintained by such a
system. Live stock farming not only
retains the fertility on the farm, but
aids in direct and effective way in
the soil. In this way will the produc-
ton of the farms be maintained and
increased.
Livestock on many farms will
stand improvement. 1t has been found
that many farmers are supporting live
stock that is not returning them mar
ket prices for the corn used
"A survey of 100 farms in Indiana
reveals the fact that in 1917 farmers
with ordinary or scrub stock made
a labor income of 1899 while farmers
with stock of quality and good breed
ing secured an income of $1,201.

coed; they now declare that they ex-
pect to succeed. but we can not yet
know whether their hopes will be
realized.
No Treaty Without League.
The best one can say is that the
American commission expects a pre-
liminary peace which in all important
respects will be the final treaty Of
peace to be signed by April Z. This
The Richmond palladium and sun-telegram. [volume] (Richmond, Ind.) 1907-1939, 1919-03-20

there is great hope, and some expet
that he will stay on.
In sum. the situation is this: Mr..
Wileon has upset program. He and
his American associates are striving
desperately to pull the league OF ma
lions covenant together 80 that there
may be no actual delay in the proceed
ings az q result Of the change in pro-
gram. They hope that they will sue
The Richmond palladium and sun-telegram. [volume] (Richmond, Ind.) 1907-1939, 1919-03-20

treaty will contain the covenant to
the league Of nations and no treaty
or armistice without the covenant Is
to be signed in the meantime. Thus
Mr.. Wilson will make good his declar
alton In his New York speech.
ALI that Ia problematical now is how
long the delay incident to the change
in program will be, and the American
view is that it will be inconsiderable.

WAS IN THE
TH|CKtST OF It

I Roy Keifer, who has furnished
the Enterprise with several poems
of very high class while in the SER
vice in France, arrived home the
latter part of the week. Roy is not
only poet but is just as good at
relating some real army experiences
and from practical ones at that.
From his story which, we believe
to be absolutely correct without any
exaggeration, the people who were
not eye witnesses to the scenes
of battle know but little about it.
He says the men who were on front
line duty were often without prop
er food and water until they were
forced to drink stagnant water
from shell holes and from starvation
and loss Of rest would return when
relieved greatly reduced in flesh.
He has witnessed the gruesome sight
of the dead and wounded until he
has become hardened to the hor-
rors of war.

ASSOCIATION

Major Fred R. Reed is visiting
the towns of the Upper Snake river
valley and southern Idaho building
up an organization known as the
Idaho Reclamation association. The
purpose of this association is to
organi about a hundred thousand
members to carry on the work OF
presenting Idaho's claims to federal
appropriations and federal loans to
be used in pushing the reclamation
of Idaho's public lands in ways that
cannot be accomplished by private
enterprise. Major Reed is not work
ing for any particular project, but
for Idaho, and that includes all of
them within the state, and the stor-
age of some of the waters of a sister
state that drain this way
The project that particularly inter
ests the people of Payette County is
the Black Canyon Project, which if
accomplished will bring over 100,-
900 acres of desert land under cul-
tivation, all of that portion Of the
County lying south OF the Farmers
Co-operative ditch will come ur
der this project which is fine body
of land but is worthless without
water for irrigation.

on by smaller organizations working
independently will hereafter be done
thru one body, with the smaller ones
in the different counties as branches
of it, and presenting their case
at once for cooperation. 1t greatly
reduces the expense, increases the
force of the appeal to be made, and
keeps out all the friction and dis
advantages arising from competition
The plan of financing it is for every
body to join and pay $1.00 year
into his local. or county organiza-
tion One-fourth Of the membership
fees remains in the local treasury,
and three-fourths of it goes to the
central office at Pocatello.
Major Reed has spent two days
in Payette County working with
Secretary Eastman getting the peo-
pie interested in a county organiza-
tion. He was at New Plymouth
Tuesday evening where he spoke at
a mass meeting called for that pur-
pose and at Payette Wednesday
evening and at both places, gave

BRINGS
IN HIS MAN

Last Thursday evening Sheriff
Jefferis had a hunch, or intuition
that in order to live up to his pro-
mise to see that all laws, and es-
pecially the liquor law was enforced
within Payette County, it might be
we'll to take little trip on west
bound passenger No. 19, and accord
ingly purchased a ticket and in
structed Night Marshal Fenske to
be at Woods Spur with a car when
10 pulled in. Mr.. Jefferis boarded
No. 10 on arriving at Payette and
soon found himself in the smoking
department of pullman sleeper.
He soon became interested in a
well dressed gentleman with a suit
case who went to tie vestibule of
the car with other parties seeming
ly to transact little business which
was interrupted b. Mr. Jefferis ap-
pearing on the see e, displaying his
official badge, taking charge of the
suit case and placing the well
dressed gentleman under arrest.
The man put up strong resistance
and endeavored to make his escape
when quite a scuff1e ensued. Mr..
Jefferis might have had some as
sistance but the parties present was
seemingly not in sympathy with the
enforcement of the law and was
rather enclined to assist the other
man in making his escape. When
the train stopped at Woods Spur,
Mr.. Jefferis had to display his au-
thority as an officer to get the door
of the car opened and as the train
was pulling out, threw the grip out
and by main force took his man off
both rolling in the cinders by the
track Mr. Fenske was there all
right and assisted in bringing the
man and the suit case containing
"a bottles of whiskey ii Payette,
where he was arraigned before
Judge M. o. Luther and after wav-
ing a preliminary hearing was plac-
ed in the county jail being unable
to furnish the required bond Of
$500. On Saturday morning his
sister arrived and put up the re-
quired bond in cash. His case is
set for trial June 10th.

of the finest of its kind any where

This amusement pavilion will be
the means of furnishing the young
people of Payette and vicinity

to their satisfaction than to be
gone to some other town and re-
turning at all hours of the night. It
will give the mothers an opportunity
