Italian Ambassador Attends,
But "Only as Observer"

San Reno, April 23.-The British
government does not consider that
Germany has violated the treaty of
iVervailles or shown bad faith in its ex-
ecution, Premier Lloyd George said in
an interview here today.
He indicated Great Britain does not
consider unreasonable the German re-
quest to increase her army from the
100000 allowed by the treaty to dou-
Bile that number.
Double Army Not Unreasonable.
Lloyd Georges statement came less
than twenty-four hours after Premier
Millerand of France had declared that
Germany had repeatedly violated the
treaty. and indicated French opposi-
tion to the German request for large
army.
George said. "She may be compared

Kansas Acreage Is 3,366,2S4
Below That of Last Year.
Secretary Mohler Issues Annual
April Report Today.
DRY WINTER DID BIG DAMAGE
More Than 100000 Acres Lost
During This Season.
Corn and Oats GOOd-GlOOmy
Potato Outlook.

Kansas wheat acreage is 3,366,2S4
acres below the record of a year ago.
A dry winter also made 1,560,11S acres
of growing wheat valueless, according
to a report today by ]. c. Mohler, sec
retary of the state board of agricul-
ture. Mohler's report shows that the
present growing acreage of 7.391,716
is but little better than the five year
pre-war average of 6,303.006 acres.
Conditions at this time are 1874 per
cent as against 99.32 per cent of
perfect crop as forecast in April, 1918.
Twelve months ago the state had
10,75S,000 acres of growing wheat.
Winter Did Damage.
While the winter killing of wheat
due to severe weather was of small
concern. the dry weather caused loss
of more than a million and a half
acres of sown wheat. Rains in the
state during the last months have i'm
proved conditions and added to pros
poets for a good yield. The condition
of 1874. tho is 20.92 per cent below
the showing of a year ago when the
states banner acreage and top pros
pect was given.
Increase in Corn.
Oats and barley are making good
progress, the report, shows. Corn
acreages. especially in the eastern two
thirds of the state, will show an in
| crease. No figures are given. In fact
much of the corn planting will occur
| later.
Bad Potato News.
With spud prices going skyward,
Mohler gives no cheering news for re-
| lief. He reports a slump of ten per
cent in the Kaw valley potato acreage.
High prices of seed and labor are re-
sponsible.
| Acreage of volunteer wheat is given
at 1.262.000
Alfalfa conditions are slightly below
normal. The crop condition is given
at SO per cent Growth has been re-
tarded due to late cold weather.
Report in Full.
The Mohler report follows:
Winter Wheat-Last fall correspondents

When the attorney informed him
last night of the verdict of the court,
NJ. Moutet this morning told of this
remark of the ex-premier:

sion?" NJ. Caillaux asked his counsel
when the latter condoled with him
over the fear that the sentence would
be one of banishment.
NJ. Moutet, counsel for Caillaux. said
that ninety senators who originally
were against conviction decided not TO
sign the sentence and walked out of
the chamber when 1t was read.

That county gave a Democratic plu-

PUTS PACT FIRST
President Wilson Cracks Whip
Over Seeding Democrats.
Letter to Kansas Convention
Shows Chiefs Stand.

Washington, April 23.-President
Wilson has served notice on his party
that he will not consent to the league
of nations being made a campaign
issue in a mere perfunctory way.
The presidents position, that the
league is the paramount issue, was
made clear in a letter read to the
Democratic Kansas state convention
yesterday.
Whips Party I'm Line.
Commenting on this letter today,
leading Democratic politicians said it
clearly indicated the president intend
ed to insist that the Democratic con-
vention at San Francisco and the party
in the campaign afterward rely upon
the league issue almost entirely.
Recently many Democratic politicians
have been drifting away from the
league as the chief issue.
They say the people are not inter-
ested in the league as the big question
of the campaign; that to them the
high cost of living is the one big issue.
This group of Democrats is distinct
from the Bryan group. which would
yield to the Lodge reservations and
ratify the treaty on that basis.

Be FARMERS UNION
Wheat Growers Decide to EIim-
mate the Middleman.
From Farm to Consumer Is Plan
of Organization.

Kansas City, Mo, April 23.-Elimi-
nation of the "middleman" with the
subsequent increase of return to the
producer and decrease in price to the
consumer is the object of a wheat
farmers union decided upon here last
night. Absolute control of the nations
cereals was decreed.
Representatives of virtually every
wheat raising community in the
United States here attending the Ma
tional Wheat Growers association
meeting, voted to join such a union,
which agricultural leaders said would
be the largest combine of farmers ever
known.
poi nted to outline the organization:
Maurice McAuliffe. Salina. Kan; John
Havenkost, Nebraska; C. H. Hyde,
Oklahoma; A. v. Swift, Oregon; A. d.
Cross, Washington; ]. w. Batcheller,
South Dakota, and George Baker,
Iowa.
Be for Fdrmers Only.
An organization will be formed to
accomplish the purposes of the wheat
growers. All producers under the plan
would form local cooperative aSsocia-
tons. These in turn would be merged
into terminal cooperative marketing
associations, statewide or interstate
depending upon rail- tac1lltleS. Only
farmers and local cooperative organ
izations would be permitted to hold
stock in these terminal marketing as
sociations.
In turn. the terminal marketing or
ganizations would be merged into q
national marketing association.
Plans of the organization include
cooperative flour and milling associa-
tions where feasible so that the farm
grain products might reach the con-
sumer in finished FORM

FeIIers, Read State
Journal TOMORROW
For Bill Hart Stuff
Campfire Stories and Question Box for American Boys
Written by Greatest of Moving Picture Heroes.

To my good friends, the American
The State Journal has requested me
to write little stories of the real west,
and to answer all questions about the
west, for it's boy readers. Each of my
little talks will have to do with the
-bIooded life of the great outdoors;
how each boy can better himself
physically and mentally by following
the rules of clean living and good
sportsmanship.
During my early boyhood 1 lived on
the frontier in the great Dakota ter
ritory of the United States. To this
wonderland of the western outdoors
my beloved father emigrated from
Newburgh, n. Y, when I was but six
months old. White settlers were few
My father was a pioneer; he helped
to mold the vast American 'front.' er
From the time 1 was knee high, 1 was
taught everything that a real cowboy
must know: how to ride, how to shoot
with six-gun or rifle, how to rope a
steer. Best of all, I was taught the
laws of honor. My father never car
ried a gun. He didn't need to- He
was known in that frontier country as
square deaF' man He taught me
to always be a "square-shooter'
My boy playmates were mostly
Sioux Indian youths who were as wild
and free as the country in which they
lived With these splendid children
of Nature, 1 learned to play their
primitive. rugged games. which called
for the greatest endurance and best
sportsmanship. My Sioux friends
taught me to ride Observation-Disclosures
style,-aad to hunt and track with
superior sagacity and keen craftsman
ship From them I learned to speak
