lessened by the new export regula- tions. Under the new rulings, dairy cattle aboard ship must have specially i constructed quarters placed at given 1 distance from the engine to avoid overheating of the animals. They must be fed and watered according to regu- lations, and a certain number of at tendants provided. Further shipments vii ldepend on the success of the first, though in view of the high cost of transportation France will probably try to raise her own stock
 The shortage of draft animals has driven countries at war to depend more on machinery than ever before, and there have been many predictions that France is to become a great field for trade in American machinery. As Q matter of fact, agriculturists now consider it a toss up as to whether France will continue to use the ma chinery thrust upon her. or will go back to her old dependence on animals as soon as machinery now in use is worn out.
 The average French farm is so small | that American machinery is used with l difficulty when it can be used al all. l A farmer does not wish to invest in q | thrasher to thrash few rows Of wheat 1 or a tractor to plough fiVeacre lot 1 Then, too, French peasants cling to the old we'll established ways of doing things. Take the case of the scythe The American scythe with it's short handle and well curved blade was in- troduced into France without the slightest success. The farmers pre- ferred the long handled, unwieldly in- strument used by their ancestors, and made famous in Millets painting, The Angelus."
 At present France is supplementing her diminished supply of work oxen, which formerly were the main reliance of a French farm, by the use of large numbers of American army mules. It IS possible that the mule may succeed as substitute for the OK if the tractor fails
 While the value of the tractor to the small farmer in France is yet unde- cided, it has been used with great sue cess on larger scale. During the war the United States food administration sent l ,500 tractors to France on the dock of navy transport. These trac- tors, and men to run them, were taken over in the belief that itf was cheaper to help the refugees to raise food than to ship it to them. With the assist ance of French convalescent soldiers the tractors were operated on land that the French had recaptured from the Germans, and large areas were ploughed, and planted in wheat and potatoes
 Approximately one-fifth of France was devastated by war, mostly in the ' north and east. The southern part

 Exactly what France needs and how 10 get it to her are the difficult prob lems which the agriculturists are try ing 10 solve. Contact between France and the United States, says the de- pertinent of agriculture, is not easy to establish because each country has its own methods and the work is ''car- ried on in an entirely different key"
 Representatives Of the bureau of animal industry and other agricul- tural bureaus are now in France in order to keep the United States posted as to the trend of French agriculture and the food situation. Reports from representatives show that the seed

 Data is being prepared to demon strate simultaneous movement in this direction by labor organizations in the United States, England and France, eliminating in the adoption by the French Chamber of Deputies of the report of the Berne confereucs }, held before the war, as R9lplified by the conference held at Leeds, Eng land, in 1916. These, in general, look ) the relief of labor from interna- -ionel capitalistic control, the free dom to choose employment and place of labor, guarantees of employment, social insurance, the right of organ ization and the enforcement of ily- gienic conditions at places of employ ment.
 Of interest to the southwestern sec ton of the United States, as well as Mexico, is the demand for freedom to work in any country on terms of equality with native labor. Other provisions are said to relate to child and female labor, the prohibition of night work for minors, a. basic eight hour cay and the prohibition of in ternatiOnNl trade in products made by mi rs. r is expected the American delegates will present data to show the necessity for international stan dardization of sailoRs' wages, as al ready required by American law, if unfair and injurious.

At Chateau Thierry, they had that the Germans might be prevented from crossing them On crossing the VesIe river, the boys Of our regiment were ahead of the big six inch guns, and right in the midst of the first line trenches. At times they were under machine gun fire and after that drive we got up to the Verdun sector to prepare for that terrific Argonne bat tie. Here, a short distance from Verdun, we were making ardent pre- parations for the biggest battle ever heard of, and 1t followed up until the signing of the ar1nistice.
 We were still actively engaged in that fight when the news came. Can you imagine how those poor over worked boys felt? We'll, they were just 'daWggone' tired and exhausted, and were glad the thing was over"

But you see our boys had the stimulation of a great cause as a background and they had with that came to the rescue, and they worked as hard as they could.

U. s. TO CONTROL
 PANAMA CANAL
Question As to Whether It Should Be Interna-
 tionaliZed.

Paris, %hursday, Jan. 23 - The question of whether the Panama Canal should be internationalized un- der the League of Nations would de pend entirely upon the attitude of the United States government, according to the belief expressed tonight. by Lord Robert Cecil who has submitted to the Peace Congress a draft of the British view of the structure of the league. He spoke at a conference of journalists.
 Lord Robert held that the Panama Canal is not on the same basis as some other waterways, since 1t is property of the United States and must be for that country to say how it shall be controlled
 In speaking of the admission of neutrals into the league on the same basis as other nations, Lord Robert said he felt that there should be no classification but that all sovereign independent states should have equal rights. In the general discussion which followed this remark he said 1t would be a disaster if no South American nations were included in the organization
 The question was raised as to whether, if a big indSemnity is as- sessed against Germanc, she should be kept out of the league until pay ment was completed. Lord Robert replied she should not be barred merely because of her inability to pay, in case the indemnities should run over long period
 He said that no definite proposals had yet been made regarding limita- ton of arInaVents. In his opinion, there must be limitation, but there cannot be total disarnsament, since every country must maintain cert@sn defensive forces.
