is necessary on account Of conditions
resulting from the decline in price Of
their products.

The conference called by the ma
tional board Of farm organizations, is
said to represent 16 farmers organ
izations throughout the United States

imating $1.5O0,OOO. 1t will continue
through Saturday.
The representation here is prin-
cipally from the grain and cotton pro-
ducing sections Of the country, off,
GERS said.
Plans which were suggested to the
delegates as affording avenues of re-
lief included the setting up Of ma
tional marketing machinery to sell
produce and purchase agricultural sup
plies and the establishing of banking
institutions in the various states
through cooperation of the several
farm organizations to strengthen their
credit.
C. a. Lymans of Washington, d. c.,
of the national board of farm organ
izations in advocating these measures
before the conference. asserted that a
national market would save millions
to producers as well as consumers"
1t would result in orderly market
ing" he asserted, by keeping entire
crops being put on the market al
the same time
TO unload the bulk of cotton or
grain within few weeks following
the harvest, Lyman said, is to place
it in the hands of speculative middle
men without any promise of relief
to the consumer.
Cooperation in the purchase of
agricultural supplies would eliminate
waste. he explained, and make It
possible to obtain better prices.

Washington, Del. 16.-William G..
Murdock, department adjutant of the
American Legion for Pennsylvania,
and II. II. Raege, of the legion's
legislative committee, declared that
the war department has done nothing
but promise prosecutions" Of more
than 10000 draft evaders and de.
serters, under military regulation.
They also charged that the depart-
ment Of justice was making little
progress in dealing with another 15O,-
900 men whom they claimed had vio>
lated the service act.
Mr.. NTurdock submitted letter
signed by Adjutant General Harris
to former Provost Marshal GenerG
Crowder in which he said that the
war department had records of 4S9,-
0O3 deserters falling under military
regulations. OF these, the letter said,
163,73S had been dealt with under
military regulations prior to Febru-
airy 2S, 1919.
There remained, however, 1S3 ,9li
individual cases of which the war
department had made no disposition,
according TO the letter.
Chairman Volstead of the commits
tee, said he believed the war de-
partment should be called upon for
information concerning these cases.
The committee left the matter in the
chairman's hands. He said later he
expected to ask Secretary Baker for
the information.

France and Australia abstained from
voting when the admission of Bull
garia was before the assembly for de-

President Hymans announced that the
request for considera ton Of the Tacna-
Area case at this session of the as.
sembly had been Withdrawn, with the
request that it be put on the agenda
of the next assembly to meet In Sep
tember.
France abstained from voting on
the question of admitting Bulgaria
to the league. Rene Viviani, head OF
the French delegation declared there
was no objection TO Bulgaria as
member, but preferred not to vote
in view Of the incompleteness Of the
information given it regarding Bulgar-
las fitness.
Thirty-five states voted affirma-
lively when the ballotng took place.
and Australia Joined France in not re-
cordng her vote.
The question of admitting Costa
Rica was the next on the days agenda.
Antonio Huneus of Chile, and Senor
Restapo of Colombia asked that the
assembly vote unanimously in admit

Debate was expected when the re-
port relative % the admission OF Bal

considered.

ished the election of new members soon
enough TO take up the league budget
and pass appropriations for the com
ing year, which have been somewhat
criticised at committee meetings with
regard to salaries of men connected
with the secretariat.
The committee reported unfavoraby
on the application of Armenia, Es-
thonia, Lithuania. Letvia and Georgia.
1t failed to recommend the admission
of Armenia because authority over
the entire territory Of that nation was
being exercised by the government.
The hope was expressed that Armenia
might be admitted at an early date.
The decision of the assembly for the
present. however. was against the ad-
mission of Armenia. Canada, Switzer-
land. Sweden Peru, Uruguay, Neni-
Zeula, Portugal and Salvador voted
for her admission. but the votes o.
u other states were recorded against
her. China, Persia and Poland alb
stained from voting.
The assembly passed a resolution
presented by Delegate Rowell of Can
ada expressing The hope that President
Wilson'S efforts would result in the
saving of Armenia and the establish
ment of a stable government. so that
she might be admitted to The league
in the not far distant future.
