FOOD CROPS FIRST
AND Then COTTON
THE ADVISORY MARKETING
BOARD URGES CUT IN THE
ACREAGE THIS YEAR.

NEW ORLEANS.-Cotton grow
ers were strongly urged in resolu-
tions adopted at the concluding SEES
sion today of the cotton states official
advisory marketing board to curtail
the 1919 cotton acreage to an extent
which would make possible the grow
ing of sufficient food and feedstuffs
to make the south self-sustaining
along those lines.
1t was explained in the resolutions
that food crops should come first,
then products for animal consump-
ton and lastly cotton. The percent
age of curtailment was left to the dis
erection of the grower.
Another resolution urged contin-
ued holding Of cotton by growers
until the embargo situation was clear
ed up and ample steamship facilities
provided for expectation of the sta
pie. There will be ample demand for
cotton, it was asserted, providing it
can be gotten out of the country.
The state warehouse plan as in
operation in Texas and Arkansas was
Endorsed, and legislation making the
system universal in the cotton belt
was urged.

in THE LAND WHERE
ICICLES ARE WARM
CORRESPONDENT TRAVELS 5000
MILES TO REACH OMSK. As
DEGRoEES BELOW ZERO.

OMSK, Russia.-After a trip of
virtually 5000 miles from Vladivos-
tok the correspondent of the Asso-
ciated Press arrived here today
Twenty-three days in underheated
cars were spent in making the jour
ney. The inter-windows of the third
class sleeping car in which the cor
respondent had quarters had been
broken before the train departed
from Vladivostok and several of the
outer windows broke during the trip
These were boarded up, but this did
not succeed in keeping out the ST.
berian blasts encountered, the tenn
perature at some times being As de-
grees below zero.
West of Irkusk the trans-Siberian
railway has been improved, but east
of that place it is seriously disorgan-
lied.
Opinion expressed by people along
the route was favorable to allied in
tervention against the bolsheviki, but
there were some bitter attacks made
upon what was declared to be pro-
crastination. The people said they
wanted the United States to declare
its policy or to clear out of the coun-
try. Apart from intervention against
the bolsheviki the people seemed to
be of the unanimous opinion that the
United States should guard the trans
Siberian railroad in order to insure
an eventful route from Vladivostok
to Ostend. Considerable fear was ex-
pressed that bolsheviki bands might
cut the railroad, isolate Omsk and
leave Siberia helpless and starving.
Evidence of poverty and general
distress was witnessed at the major
ity of the stations passed. There was
little food for sale The people seem
ed doWncast and in despair.

BOLSHEVIKI ACTIVE
in UNITED STATES
HAVE FUND OF 100000 FOR
PROPAGANDA PURPOSES-SEV-
ERAL ACTIVE GROUPS.

NEW Neutrality-suspicious. of JUS
tice agents in New York who have
been watching German suspects in
this city have been assigned to the
work of frustrating the activities of
five groups of Bolsheviki who have
established headquarters here, it was
announced tonight. The spread of
Bolshevikism was admitted to have
become alarming"
Coincidentally, Alfred L. Becker,
deputy state attorney general, de-
clared that his department has un-
earthed evidence that secret agents
of Lenine and Trotsky have reached
this city with a fund of nearly $780,
600 to be used for propaganda pur-
poses.
These agents, it Was said, have
been circulating in workshops and
factories, holding secret meetings,
which eliminated today in the open
ing session of q three-day conven-
ton in the Lander Lyceum building.
Hold a Convention.
The prime purpose of this conven-
ton is said to be to absorb into
the =Bolsheviki movement in this and
other cities members of the Indus
trial Workers of the World, anar-
chists and radical socialists. Efforts
also are being made to gain an af-
filiation with the Workers Interna-
tional Union, the Workers Defense
Union and groups working for the re
lease from prison of Emma Goldman,
Alexander Berkman and other "polit-
ical prisoners"
At the Offices of the department
of justice it was admitted that a
card index of 1900 ''red" agitators
in this city, Chicago, Philadelphia,
Detroit, Boston and other places
had been compiled and persons
whose names appear in this index
are being closely watched.

More than 100000 persons in this
city, it is said, are active or passive
followers of the Bolsheviki move

ROYALTY TO RETURN
Mn. SONS VISIT
PRESIDENT POINCARh
MAKE TRIP THIS SUMMER,
AND KING GEORGE SOON.

President Poincare, of France, will
visit the United States late in June
or early in July, according to an an
nouncement made by the president
himself. 1t also has been reported in
London that King George and Queen
Mary may accept the the invitation
of President Wilson to cross the At
lantic and visit America. Advices
from England are to the effect that,
if the invitation is accepted, the
visit of the royal pair will be made
during the presidents term of office.
When it was suggested that the
greatest reception ever accorded a
foreign ruler was awaiting him M.
Poincare said he was not looking for
the honors of a reception, but simply
wished to thank the Americans for
what they have done to aid France
during the war.
War Has Broken Precedents.
Before bidding farewell to King
George and Queen Mary in England
President Wilson, according to Lon
don newspapers. said he houed to see
them in America soon.
Such a visit would be as unprece-
denied as President Wilson's own
voyage, British newspaper COM
mented, adding, however, that the
war has broken down many prece-
dents and a return visit by the king
and queen would be popular in both
countries.

MANY MOONSHTNE
CASES In GEORGIA
OVER zoo READY FOR TRIAL. IN
CREASE DUE TO THE RECORD
PRICES PIAD FOR BOOZE.

ATLANTA, Ga.-The largest num-
Der of moonshine cases in the history
of the northern district of the federal
court will come up for trial at the
spring term when court cOnvenes in
Atlanta, Columbus, Rome and Ath-
ems.
According to Assistant District At
torney Carpenter there are already
727 revenue cases ready for trial,
while in 964 other cases preparations
are being made. These last are in
stances of raids being made, without
all the evidence desired having yet
been secured.
That there has been an increase in
the number of moonshine cases of at
least fifty per cent. within the last
Mr.. Carpenter, who says that of all
the prosecutions on the federal books
anywhere from seventy to seventy
five per cent. are liquor cases.
Mr.. Carpenter says that the in
crease in moonshining in Georgia has
been largely due to the record prices
now being received in Georgia for
booze, especially since it became so
hard to escure rye, which has to come
from so far away.
The result has been that all the
mountaineers who ever made corn, or
practically all Of them, are back at
the game again and willing to take
the chances, when the rewards run up
to ten or twelve dollars a quart as is
the case at present.
Formerly all the moonshining was
confined to the mountainous part sof
north Georgia, but that time has
passed. Now moonshiners are busy in
south and central Georgia, says D.
J. Grant, internal revenue agent, and
the officers have had to be especially
alert since their tasks have been so
much increased.
The old time wagon has been dis
carded by the mountaineer in favor
of the inexpensive Ford, which, even
if confscated by the authorities, will
not cost so much as to absolutely ruin
the dealer, who can go home, when
his time is out, and start making
whisky all over again.

SCRAMBLED EGGS GALORE
IN FOOD TRAIN WRECK
One Car in the River, and Others Are
Piled Up on a Bridge.

PORTLAND, Maine.-The first big
wreck on the Grand Trunk railroad
for several years occurred in FAB
mouth when train loaded with food
for shipment overseas was derailed
by the breaking of a journal.
Eleven of the twenty-five cars were
smashed into kindling wood and the
wreckage, including all sorts of food
stuffs, was scattered over a large
area. One car containing nothing
but eggs, and filed at that, toppled
from the bridge over the Presumps-
colt river, to the waters edge, so
feet below, and the ground was COW
cred with an enormous scramble"
Another car hung over the bridge
crosswise. Fortunately none of the
train hands were injured, but the
track was ripped up for some dis
lance and it took several days to re-
pair it.

whose wages are long overdue a. de-

Many of these soldiers claimed
that they were without funds, even

With a few exceptions these men

there is no hiding the resentment they
feel over a policy that, after their
hard campaigning and in many cases
sickness and wounds, brings them
back home virtually paupers. 1t is
true that they WILDE paid their back

Discharged soldiers and officers, be-

soldiers have reached camp who have

six, seven and even eight months be-

home on furlough only with money
borrowed from the Red Cross or for
