b. Peet Of Milford led the discussion on
this subject Mr. Peet, himself, having
been successful in bringing up poor land
and making it rich. This has been don G
not only by the use Of stable manure but
by the most thorough cultivation. and by
the liberal use Of such cover crops as

vetch, alfalfa and other legumcs.
DR. Zurkow stated, IN the campaign to
eliminate hCg cholera more than 10000

civilization may forge ahead, was urged
by Secretary OF War Baker in on address
here yesterday before members Of the
Free Synagogue. He made an appeal for
better understanding between employer
and employe.
"Our civilization must forge ahead,
he added, because we are too young a
people to stand still. We must set out to
follow the ideals Of our forcfathers-
gather around our leaders and sustain
them"
Secretary Baker said that in his judg-
ment it was not question of a particular
set of words or group Of phrases that were
embodied in the League of Nations, but
the underlying principle that was back of
them.
1--WE have lost hope, but ] trust not
permanently" he added. 1--WE have
lost the spiritual leadership of the world.
We have abandoned the esprit of Chateau
Thierry and the Argonnc"
The Secretary said that the United
States is passing through the third of the
critical period of its history. He pro-
dicted that the nation would emerge from
the situation as il had in the glorious
past. when conditions equally rs trying
