FARMERS ASKED
TO TAKE BONDS
Special Appeal on Behalf of
Liberty Loan Issue is Sent
Out by Washington Repre-
sentative of National Granre

Every farmer in America is ex.
pected to support the Victory Liberty
Loan. says Thomas c. Atkeson. the
Washington representative Of the Ma.
tional Grange Patrons Of Husbandry,
who has sent the following letter to
the officers Of every farm grange in
the United States:
Victory Liberty is the slogan To-,
the new loan. The drive is to begin
April p. for the sale Of six billion
dollars i'll Victory Liberty Bonds
These two words visualize all that is
best in American spirit American
farmers must respond to this appeal
What the farmers Of America die
in sacrifice and in accomplishment, ir
food production and in bond buying
during the war is a part OF the recor,
1t is war record Of which any class
may be proud. 1t must be made good
now by meeting the obligations which
result from the outpouring OF Ameri.

enemies OF Liberty and civilization.
Time to Get Ready.
1T is time to get into this Victory
Liberty Bond campaign. No appeal Of
the war has gone unanswered to the
full limit when brought to the atten.
ton Of the farmers. Men. money.
wheat, other food-no matter what
h,
answer has been full and certain. The
answer must be the same in this COM
ing drive.
Millions OF soldiers must be brought
home; thousands OF sick must b" cared
for; thousands Of wounded and mutt.
lated must be made ready for future
usefulness. We armed Il nation and
modified its resources into a war ma.
chine OF such tremendous potential
rather than face it. and thereby
months or years Of fighting and thous-
ands OF lives. were saved. Now we
must pay the obligations created by
this effort. Who can neglect to pay
his just part for that which prevented
so great sacrifice Of life and blood.
World Wants Products.
There lies just outside the doors Of
the American farmer hungry world. a
world which needs all our products
American farming rests on the safe
basis Of need and service. The invest
ment Of the hard earned dollars OF
American farmers in Victory Liberty
Bonds Is safe investment with a
certainty Of fair return. and the
money will come back into circulation
making more business, increasing the
market and the demand for farm pro.
ducts. and increasing prosperity. Buy
ing Victory Liberty Bonds will
make farmers Victory-Liberty-Pros
ity-men. Do your part to put the Vic
tory Liberty Loan over the top.
Make your investment in Victory
Liberty Bonds the measure OF your
confidence in American institutions
and that democracy for which your
sons offered the supreme sacrifice: a
symbol Of your determination that the
war shall not have been fought in

PROTESTS AGAINST
ABSOLUTE GOMEZ
RULE in VENEZUELA
Complaints Reach State De-
partment of His
Dictatorship
HELD in A FIRM GRIP
No Opportunity Given for Expression
of Amy Hostile Public
Opinion

WASHINGTON, April 1S-Pro-
tests against the Gomez regime in
Venezeula, a dictatorship more ex-
treme than that of Cipriano Castro
and subversive of all the principles
of representative government, have
reached the State Department from
various sources. They allege that
General Juan Vincente Gomez, the
power behind the provisional Presi-
dent, Marquee Bustillos, holds the
people in an ineXorable grip; that he
is filling the prisons with his political
opponents and all persons suspected
of revolution, and that he is using the
resources of the country to amass a
private fortune.
Outside of President Cabrera, of
Guatemala, there is no one in South
or Central America who maintains a
more absolute rule over the destinies
of the country than Gomez. Offend
ing editors, it is asserted, are jailed.
No opportunity is given for the ex-
preston of hostile public opinion.
These protests come from Venezue-
Ian emigres who have taken refuge in
neighboring countries, some of them
as far away as the United States, and
who have found it impossible to live
in Venezuela. They allege that cons
titutional government in their own
country is tragi-comedy and ask the
United States to take cognizance of
the situation.
State Department officials decline to
comment on the condition of affairs in
Venezuela. 1t is pointed out that the
present government has, on the whole,
been careful not to molest foreigners.
Sensational charges were made during
the war that the Gomez government
was pro-German. In answer to these
the statement is made that because of
the German interests in the country
he steered a neutral course and that
the charge of pro-Germanism usually
is made by revolutionaries seeking his
overthrow. Upon the latter ground
persons asserting that the government
was hostile to the Allies were treated
as conspirators and usually forced to
flee the country.
Despite the sensational character of
the charges made against the Gomez
regime it is not probable that the
United States will add to the list of
Latin-American problems by interfer-
ing in the Venezeulan situation. The
question is raised, however, as to the
eligibility of Venezuela for admission
to the proposed League of Nations
if it becomes reality.

German Delegation W.
Reside in Famous
Hotel
WILL NUMBER NEAR 200
Three Big Powers Will Get IS Per

NUMBER NEAR 200

PARIS, (by Associated Press).-
April 18-A formal invitation was
sent by the Council of -Four to the
German government to send represen-
tatives to Versailles for the meeting
of the Peace Congress on April 25.
No reply had been received up to
Monday night, but it is expected that
the German delegation will reach
Versailles about April "a.
The complete German peace mis-
sion probably will number about two
hundred persons.
The German delegates while at
Versailles will reside in wing of
the Hotel des Reservoirs, adjoining
the Prefecture of Police, according to
arrangements announced today by
Paul Dutasta, general secretary Of
the Peace Conference. French dele
gates of members of their staffs will
occupy the rest of the hotel, which
was at one time the home of Nine
de Ponpadour.
Most of the French delegates and
the delegates from the other countries
probably will go to Versailles daily to
attend the meetings with the German
delegates at the Trianon Palace Hotel
where the Supreme War Council has
had its headquarters. The meetings
with the Germans, it seems possible,
will continue for ten or fifteen days
The treaty of peace will be signed
in the famous Hall of Mirrors in the
palace of Versailles.
Now that the Germans have been
called to, Versailles, the Indications
are that the proceedings may moYe
with such despatch that President
Wilson can remain for the signing of
the treaty, and thus be able to take
back the completed document.
This was the view of the
Presidents today when their
attention was called to the
reports in French newspapers
that his departure had been
fixed for April 28. 1t was declared
that no such intention had been form
ed and that the progress on the main
questions now gave promise that the
President would not only attend the
opening of the Congress at Versailles,
but would remain long enough to see
the work carried through, though pro-
longed delay by the enemy delegates
would, of course, prevent such ac-
ton.
Precise details of what is to be
done on the arrival of the German
delegates are being worked out. Pre-
liminary to their arrival, plenary
session of the peace conference is to
be held at the Foreign Office for de-
termination of the final course to be
pursued by the allies before entering
into relations with the German pleni-
potentiaries.
Whether the treaty and covenant
will both be represented has not yet
been decided, but it is probable that
the treaty portion of the document
will not be made public until after
its delivery to the Germans.

The enormous total of shipping

nifty for men to work now that our
great army is demobilizing.
The state of Idaho made an appro-
priation of $4,000 for the purpose
of making a study of the reclamation
work in Idaho. The state of Wash
ington made an appropriation of $500
900 for the same purpose and Oregon
$3.50 1000. Other western and north
western states will take similar ac-
ton. This money from the states is
available when the government makes
its one hundred million dollar appro-
priation. That vast appropriation will
be made when the people of the north
west states show enough interest to
ask for it. 1t can best be asked for
by an organization or association such
as the Idaho Reclamation association
proposes to become.
That mar of Idaho who does not
realize what a great appropriation can
accomplish when wisely expended on
reclamation work in his state is living
beneath his privilege as a citizen of
Idaho. The membership of every
citizen is needed to help carry-on this
great work.
The reclamation of hundreds of
thousands of acres of Idaho land will
mean that hundreds of thousands of
people will make their homes here. 1t
means the building up of big cities

One hundred thousand members in
Idaho is the plan of the Idaho Recla-
nation association, and a campaign
with that object in view is now being
launched by the secretary and gen
eral manager, Major Fred R. Reed.
The recent congress adjourned with
out making the one hundred million
dollar appropriation recommended by
Secretary Lane and the principal rea-
son for that act on the part of that
body is that there was not enough
interest shown by the people most af-
fected; the people of Idaho and the
northwest in general. The project is
feasible and practical. 1t has been
endorsed by the best informed men in
the country on the subject of the coun-
try's needs. The reclamation of hun
dreds of thousands of acres of land
otherwise almost worthless, serves a
great double purpose. 1t provides
