Fargo, May 15.-That North Dakota

prospectors, engineers and geologists
during the coming summer is the opin-
ion of DR.. T. II. D. Duncan, a. Texas
petroleum engineer, who is in Fargo
to open headquarters for a. new oil
company which is being organized to
prospect in Adams county.
"Geologists and engineers have gone
over every foot of land that has any
oil bearing possibilities in states like
Texas, Louisiana and Oklahoma" said
DR.. Duncan. "They are now casting
their eyes northwards. North Dakota
and South Dakota are virtually unex-

conference at The Hague was receiv.
ed today at the state department, but
officials indicated that no immediate
determination regarding 1t would be
reached. J@n
Until they had an opportunity to
study the proposal in detail official,
would not comment on it. The gen.
eral impression they gave was that
the question probably would be dis
cussed at tomorrow's cabinet meeting,
and that some action might follow.
Pains were taken to emphasize that
the invitation was complete surprise
here.
The communication from Ambassa-
dor Child was said to Ibe only an ad-
vance summary of the official text Of
the invitation.
In their reference to the Hague con-
ference officials would not indicate
in what degree they consider the case
analogous to the Genoa negotiations,
into which the United States refused
to enter. It was assumed that Presi-
dent Harding and his advisers would
adopt similar policy Of nOn-partici-

Start Next Years
Garden Now

North. South. East. West, autumn
is best to begin next years home vege-
table garden. Nature is never idle,
even when the ground is hard frozen,
and our efforts should be directed to
aiding natural agencies. The greatest
good can be accomplished by improv-
ing the soil and preparing II for grow
ing bumper crops of potatoes. cabbage.
tomatoes, beans, beets and other vege-
tables next season. says the United
States Department of Agriculture.
At present many of our garden crops
are maturing and may be cleaned of
the land. In many parts Of the North
Il IL now too late to plant anything on
this vacant land, except rye. barley or
some other crop to improve the soil.
Some OF the most successful gardeners
follow the practice of sowing rye on
every foot of garden soil that becomes
available. The roots of the rye spread
through the soil and pick up every
choice bit of plant food they can find.
Next spring when the ground is spaded
or plowed these same roots form a
network of fibrous material which
quickly decays and forms new plant
food for the garden crops to feed upon.
Don't let II get more than two or three
inches high next spring before it is
turned under. Other crops will give
the same results. but rye is one of the
most practical.
Spading or plowing clay soils in the
autumn and leaving them lying In a
rough state over winter is also good
practice. Heavy soils are broken up
by the action of frost but care should
be taken that they do not wash away.
Sandy and all light soils are liable to
wash or blow away during the winter
IL left loose and exposed and for this
reason should be kept covered either
by green crop or by heavy coating
Of manure.
Nothing beats good stable manure
for improving the soil OF a garden.
Manure Is good to plow under in the
autumn and IL is good as a top dress
ing over the soil after plowing. Ma
nure prevents the washing and adds
fertility. As soon as the crops are off.
plow the ground and give Il a heavy
coat OF manure. The remnants can be
turned under in the spring.

everything that the ordinary man
would imagine to be fatal. Yet he is

cultural country you get an inexhaust-
ible supply of healthy lads with great
physical strength. perfect eyesight,
and perfect nerves. 1t takes a year
and a half to turn out a Lithuanian
airman, six months in theoretical
study. six months in mixed theory and
practice. and six months in intensive
practical training. Any young officer
who, after year at the work, shows
signs of tagging behind. Is at once got

ing that extended period the Allies
succeeded in pushing their front, little
by little, twelve kilometers ahead on
a front of thirty kiiometers. owing to
their great superiority in artillery and
aeroplanes.
THE German army in the west had
suffered terrible losses. A large part
of the old crack infsntry was killed
or crippled at the end of 1916. What
was left after the bloody field battles
of 1874 and 1915 was torn TO pieces by
the unparalleled expenditure of artil-
lery ammunition at Verdun and the
Somme.
What was left was of middle quail
ity or below average. And those
shaken troops We're perturbed when
they left the battlefield of the Somme.
The overwhelming preponderance of
the western Powers in the technical
field had destroyed the belief in vic
tory and created feeling of inferior
iry, had caused the view that the war
was lost beyond hope and. thereby,
sowed the seed of cowardice.
Flushed with victory the Entente
generals neglected TO conceal their
offensive plans; they did not care any
longer TO surprise the Germans and
gave the German High Command suf-
icient time to prepare for the de-
fense. The situation of the German
armies was considered hopeless by the
military leaders of the Western
Powers.
"On April Q the storm broke loose
on both sides Of Scarpe after short
but vehement preparations by artil-
lery. On several points, the enemy.
owing to his tanks could break
through the lines of the German in
fantry. Such German units as main
tanned their positions were surrounded
and collapsed. The English infantry
waves flowed ahead to the German
artillery positions. but came suddenly
to halt when they reached the limit
of the range of the British artillery.
Just as in the previous year at the
Somme. the enemy had penetrated to
open territory. No more considerable
obstacles had to be overcome. But
the English had not profited from
their past mistakes and remained in
active until German reserve divisions
could be rushed to the gap. The battle
lasted until the early part of May.
but the attackers could not add any
new successes to those of the first
day.

All Flyers Are Experts
With Camera and Bomb

It may seem ridiculous to write at
such length about the air force of such
a small country as Lithuania, but ow-
ing to the high reputation of General
Kiaucevicius as an Air Marshal in the
Cars service and to the unusual ex-
ceilence of the young human material
now at his disposal, as we'll as to the
peculiarly favorable situation of Lith-
uania for air work. the progress of
aviation In this country deserves to be
watched with sympathy and interest.
All the Lithuanian airmen are, Of
course. expert photographers and
adio-telegraphiets: and in case of a
Polish invason-the only thing to be
feared--the Lithuanian army will have
no need for cavalry scouts as all the
scouting can be done by air. from
which messages can be flashed to the
central wireless station at Kovno.
Moreover. the bombing which such IA
large air force could carry out on tho
advancing Poles would when the eff
cheney of the Lithuanian infantry and
artillery is taken into consideration,
make the success qf such an advance
very problematical.
A short conversation which 7 had
with the General after coming down
myself from a spin among the clouds

keeps up TO date in his profession but
that he studies very closely the de-
velopment OF military aviation every
