LLOYD GEORGE ASKS AMERICAN
TROOPS BE SENT RAPIDLY
\ A message from Lloyd George, prime
minister of Great Britain, calling upon
the United States to send "American
reinforcements across the Atlantic in
the shortest possible space of time"
was read by Lord Reading, British
high commissioner to the United
States.
"We are at the crisis of the war,
attacked by an immense superiority of
German troops," said the premier in
bis message.
“Our army has been forced to re-
tire. The retirement has been carried
out methodically before the pressure
of a steady succession of fresh Ger-
man reserves, which are
enormous losses.
"The situation is being faced with
splendid courage and resolution.
"The dogged pluck of our troops has
for the moment checked the cease-
less onrush of the enemy and the
French have now Joined in the strug-
gle . But this battle, the greatest
and most momentous in the history
of the world, is only just beginning.
Throughout it the French and Brit-
ish are buoyed with the knowledge
that the great republic of the west
neglect no effort which can hasten
its troops and its ships to Europe.
"In war. time is vital. It is im-
possible to exaggerate the importance
of getting American reinforcements
across the Atlantic in the shortest
possible space of time."
PLAN’S TO UNITE CAPITAL
AND LABOR ON WAR BASIS
LA W REQUIRES TEACHING
IN SCHOOLS IN ENGLISH
The following is a copy of house
bill No. 128 recently passed, which
requires that teaching in the public
schools be in the English language,
and which will become effective June
27th:
Be it enacted by the legislature of
the state of Texas:
Section 1. Every teacher, principal
and superintendent employed in the
public free schools of this state shall
use the English language exclusively
tn the conduct of the work of the
schools, and all recitations ana exer-
cises of the school be conducted in
the English language, and the trus-
tees shall not prescribe any texts
for elementary grades not printed in
the English language; provided, that
this provision shall not prevent the
teaching of I^tin. Greek, French,
German. Spanish, Bohemian or other
language as a branch of study in the
high school grades as outlined in the
state course of study.
Sec. 2. Any teacher, principal, su-
perintendent. trustees or other schol
officials having responsibility in the
conduct of the work of the school,
and falling to comply with this provis-
ion of the law shall be deemed guilty
of a misdemeanor and upon convic-
tion thereof In proper court shall be
subject to finp of not less than $25
and not more than $100, cancellation
of certificate, or removal from office
as the case may be, or both fine and
cancellation of certificate or fine and
remov^ from office. Each day shall
be regarded as a separate offense, and
It Shall be the duty of the trustee,
city or county superintendent. or ex-
officio superintendent to inspect the
schools regularly with regard to the
enforcement of this act and file
charges promptly in the court in all
cases of violation.

Plans for putting capital and labor
on a war basis have been completed
and laid before Secretary of la»bor
Wilson.
Workers and employers agree to
bury the hatchet in common cause
until the war is won. strikes are
rendered virtually impossible.
Greation of a national war labor
boat'd is recommended. It will sit in
Washington until peace is declared
to hear and adjust disputes along
principles accompanying the recom-
mendations. Working through local
boards, to be appointed by it, the
central body will attempt to bring to-
gether conflicting parties when ail
suffering other conciliation efforts have failed.
Chief among principles outlined is
recognition of the right of labor to
organize. In deliberations of the
tribunal during any dispute, however,
present conditions regarding “open"
and "closed" shops shall be maintain-
ed.
If the “sincere and determined"
effort of the national board fails to
bring about a voluntary settlement
and members of the board are unable
to grant a decision, an umpire se-
lected by the board finally shall de-
cide the controversy.
Further the principles governing
workers and employers during the
war period that employers shall not
discharge any employe for union af-
filiations or activities, nor, on the
other hand, shall workers coerce their
fellow ^workmen into joining their or-
ganizations.
Women displacing men in indus-
try must have the same compensa-
tion as the men and they shall be al-
lotted tasks proprotionate to thei/r
strength. The eight-hour day is rec-
ognized by the existing laws, in all
other cases, however, the question of
hours shall be settled with “due re-
gard for the workers." In fixing
hours, however, the existing customs
of the locality concerned shall l}6 ob-
served. This same rule holds re-
garding wages and conditions of la-
bor.
Mobilization of the labor supply
with a view to rapid and "effective
distribution" by trade unions, state
employment services, and industrial.
The labor planning board which
went into session February 2 was
called by Secretary Wilson at the re-
quest of the president to form an en-
during working policy between capi-
tal and labor.
Five representatives of employes
from the American Federation of La-
bor. five members of the National In-
dustrial conference hoard represent-
ing employers, and two men for the
public, comprise the board.
William Howard Taft was elected
by the capitalists and Frank P. Walsh
by the union leaders to act for the
public.
Deliberations of the board culminat
ed in drawing and signing of the rec
ommendations Friday night of last
week. There was a wide divergence
of views when the conference conven-
ed.
"The principals declared might be
called an industrial chart for the
government." Walsh said, ‘ securing
to the employer maximum production
and to the worker the strongest guar-
anty of his right to organization as
well as the highest protection of his
welfare, while the war for human lib-
erty everywhere is being waged.
Dear Progress:—The cqunty can-
vass ia on, and let us all keep in mind
that public office is not a private
snap nor a bowl of soup to tye handed
Out to those hungry Jor it#
We have extra good county ma-
chinery, but however good the gun
may be, there is much depending on
th'e gunner that shoots the guns as to
whether any game Is brought in from
the hunt. Yes, the best of guns wilt
not "fotch" a squirrel from the lower
limbs of a sapling where the gunner
is blind, or even afflicted with St.
Yinus wobble, and wobbles on the
spindle of vision and duty. For such
offices as commissioner and county
superintendent of schools, for exam-
ple, the guns are goods for all pur-
poses, but often the gunner is either
blind or wobbles on the spindle badly
and no game or gain is brought In
for the public dinner pot.i
This is peculiarly the case in the
office of county school superintend-
ent. Here not only are wells paid tdr
that are never dug—that, is, days and
weeks are paid for that one never
taught. A county superintendent
could save dollars and dollars to the
school fund by refusing to approve
vouchers for days not taught. Be-
sides, many wells could be dug with-
out expense to, but with great profit
to the public. Such, for instance,
could he done by enforcing the present
law that^requires agriculture and do-
mestic science to be taught in every
public school. The teaching of bud-
ding and grafting alone would in a few
years result in having every mustang
grape, by budding, to yield grapes
equal in flavor and greater in abun-
dance than are found in Italian vine-
yards. Any teacher can learn how to
bud and graft in one day attendance
on the John Tarleton agricultural
college, or even under the teaching
of such practical experts as Capt.
G. W. Jenks.
The Comanche school is a striking
example of wh^t great things can be
done in teaching scientific agriculture
and domestic science in a public
school.
Under a wise ounty superintendent
much can be saved by never paying
for wells never dug, and much more
by opening new wells that will make
country life so desirable that there
will be a change of the current on
which many are drifting from country
to the city and, and set in a current
on which many will float from city
to country, as was (he ease a few
years ago when a live county super-
intendent in Iowa enforced the law,
similar to our own. requiring scientif-
ic agriculture and domestic science he
taught as far as possible. In
two years this teaching (though only
at first in primary tilings) reversed
the status quo from 90 per cent who
expected to quit country life as soon
as possible, to 90 per cent who de-
clared their intention to stay on the
farm for life.
There are other wells of overflowing
water that could he dug and ( urged and
buckets and ropes swung in them by
enforcing even our present school
law.
And such could he the ease in ev-
ery county office, if the officer should
hew up to the line of vision and

TO EAT MORE POTATOES
TIME YET REMAINS
FOR GOOD FOOD CROPS
R. C. Claridge of the .Texas food and
feed commission has sent out the fol-
lowing which is worthy of Berious
consideration:
"If there ever or will ever be a
time when the people of town and
country need lo exercise 'every lick
of country sense' individually and
collectively, now and near now is the
time. With only ten days supply of
flour on hand in any of the cities and
towns, and no available supply in
sight, it seems a poor time for farm-
ers to receive discouragement as to
the planting of a little small grain
for food and feed.
"If the season favors, peas and oth-
er things may, follow the "small grain
this season. If peas follow on the
stubble land for hay, the grower may
be surprised to come up with a fine
stand of volunteer oats or wheat in
the fall.
'There is time to plant spuds in
many sections of Texas for home use,
and handled right they will keep all
summer and seed from the spring
crop may be planted for fall crop.
After the spring crop comes off sweet
potatoes, corn, peas and other things
may be planted as second crops, in
the rain belt, or where irrigations is
possible, irisli potato seed is about
the cheapest thing in Texas just now.

evil of handing public offices as soup

WOMEN NEED NOT GO TO
COUNTY SEAT TO REGISTER
Attorney Looney has advised the
comptroller that the county tax col-
lector may accept the registration of
any woman who may possess the qual-
ifications of a voter under the provis-
ions of the woman's suffrage act at
the courthouse of the county or at
any place in said county where the
tax collector may be engaged in the
occupation of collecting taxes. For
the purpose of collecting taxes,' the
opinion asserts that the collector’s of-
fice is at such places as he may col-
lect the same, as provided by law.
This will save women going to the
county seats to register during the
seventeen days available between June
26 and July 12. They'can register
with deputy collectors sent over the
county.
The opinion is based on Art. 7615,
revised statutes, which requires the
collector or his deputies to/ visit the
various precincts away from the coun-
ty seat ami spend at least two days
collecting taxes, after notice and date !
of such visit has been given. It is ,
this provision which the opinion holds
permits women voters to register dis-
tant from the county courthouse.

to Palmer , for the purpose of evad-
ing the selective service law.
in a statement to United States
Commissioner Mitchell, Eiler s&id he
changed his name so that he could
stay out of the army for business rea-
sons. It was alleged in the complaint
that Eiler, after registering under
his right name, went to Canada and
assumed the name of Palmer, later
coming back to the United States. He
said that he had been traveling out of
Fort Worth for a period of four
months. He said that his profession
kept him traveling much of his time.
Failing to make $1,000 bond, he was

FEDERAL GRAND JURY
RETURNS 11# INDICTMENTS
A communication from the Farmers’
Union assocition of Aloijte Vista, Colo.,
calls attention to the difficulty the
farmers aqe having marketing their
potatoes and urges a more general
consumption of this food product. Ex-
cerpts from the letter follow:
'As you know, we have grown in
this country this year the largest crop
of potatoes that we have ever known,
and to illustrate the predicament in
which the farmer now finds himseif,
will say that the buyer and specula-
tor have left him to his own devices,
in securing a market for his potatoes.
"During the harvesting of the pota-
to crop there was an abnormal scar-
city of cars, which had the tendency
to make supplies scarce at points of
market. The buyer an! speculator
at that time were paying the farmer
a reasonable price for his potatoes
and reaping a harvest of profit, bui

VERNON CASTLE’S WILL MADE
Fi
tr
PUBLIC; REMEMBERS FRIENDS
The will of Capt. Vernon Castle,
wpo was killed at Benbrook In Febru-
ary when his airplane crashed tq
earth, has just been made public in
New Yrork. As announced heretofore,
the entire estate—valued at about
$15,000—Is left to “my beloved wife,
Irene.”
Although the Castles’ income was
about $100,000 a year, they lived lav-
ishly, which is, responsible for Cas-
tle's estate not being worth more
than It is.
One clause in the will asks Mrs,
Castle to give some of his personal
effects to his friends, but this is not
mandatory.
Following is the will in part:
"i, Vernon Castle of Manhasset, k
I., being of sound mind and mindful
o[ the uncertainty of life, especially
in view of the fact that I am about
to enlist in the English army, do de-
ar

sp
be
since a supply of cars has been fur- , clare this to be my last will and testa- j
nished, as above stated, it is up to the
farmer to market the c; op in any
way he sees fit.
“We don't blame the .-.peculator and
buyer for withdrawing from the fie:!
Just as long as they cannot see a
profit in potatoes it behooves them
not to buy, but we do blame them
for not being satisfied with a reason-
able margin of profit, and by their
unreasonableness in so demanding a
profit, wean away the public in gen-
eral from the consumption of this
most necessary food product.
"With our industrial forces being
rapidly depleted by the draft, and all
of our ground ‘going into necessary
foodstuffs, and as the planting time in
the irrigated districts of the west is
not until May, it stands to reason that
the farmer is not going to plant his
soil in an unremunerative crop.
"The potato is a .substantial food
product necessary for the winning of

love and sincere affection for my dear-
ly beloved wife, but also in grateful!

the war. The bulk of Ihe irrigated i ^'e
land of Texas is planted to onions,
which are not a sustaining food or
a necessity of life, but which are
planted for profit and profit alone.
It would indeed he a shame if, by
reason of failure on the part of the
public to heed the government's re-
quest for a greater consumption of
potatoes, vast quantities of Ihe crop
are wasted and (he growers became
so disgusted that they fail to plant a
normal crop of them this year. Po-
tatoes are palatable and are the
cheapest substantial food product now
on the market. If the people of Tex-
as realized the plight of the growers
in the lalge potato-raising districts
they would vastly increase their con-
sumption of the food."

Germany has staked Its fortune on
the spring eampaign, sayB the war de-
partment’s weekly review of the mili-
tary situation, and the allies and the
United States must be prepared for
fresh attacks at new points if the
Teutons fail to achieve victory in the
present fighting.
"As the German higher command,"
continues the statement, "apparently
determined to force a decision Or
prove to its own satisfaction that it
is unable to do so. we must be pre-
pared in case of his failure to obtain
major results in the present theater
of operations, that he will attempt
further offensive assaults in adjacent
areas."
But despite , the successes gained
by the Germans, says the review, “the
enemy has been unable to force a de-
cision,” and "so long- as the allies are
able to maneuver,” with the consistent
unity of flexibility which they have
shown during the engagements of the
past week, so long will victory elude
the enemy."
The placing of American resources
unreservedly at the disposal of the
allies is noted, and the statement an-
nounces that "such of our troops as
have received sufficient training will
assume a share of the burden now so
valiently borne by the French and
British armies.”
The review also mentions that
American troops are taking their pla-
ces tn other parts of the line, thus
relieving veteran French units for
The resolution extending the selec-J
draft to men reaching the]
age of 21 years since June 5, 1917—the
registration day—was passed by the!
senate without a record vote after a]
futile attempt had been made to ad:
to it a provision for training yout-
from 19 to 21 years of age.
It is estimated that about 700,Oi
men will be added to the registration
this year by the resolution, which
is one of the pieces of legislation on
which the war department is waiting w'hat
before announcing complete plans for
the next draft. It .now goes to the
house for consideration there with
the bill to base draft quotas on num-
ber of registrant^ In class 1 instead
of on population, another of the ad-
ministration measures already passed
by the senate.

MAY DRAFT MISSION WORKERS
The Methodist board of foreign mis-
sions proposes the novel plan of a se-
lective draft, after the manner of tbs
government, to get men and women ti
go to mission fields, says the Boston
Transcript. The old method of re-
cruiting, that of the volunteer, is said
to result in not only inadequate num-
bers, but In inferior quality. Metbo-
dists are raising millions in monej
to convert the world, and are confront)
ed with serious lack of workers. Th<
foreign board states that the troublt
extends to home fields, and to lines
other than missions. Bishop Shepard
has been named as chairman of
committee to see what can be
either with a church selective dr:
or with some similar plan, to com;
young men and young women to
ter upon lives of Christian service.
The methods now suggested are h
tensive work-in colleges, requiri:
students to submit to dictation in
or missionary lives, and retaining
the right to determine for themsel
which branch of the service they wl
take up, This particular Methodii
society states that It is able to sec-ui
under present regulations only
seventy-five persons a year. It
timates that 1.200 preachers will
required In the regular fields, whei
hardly more than half that num
now Is in sight. It Is clgimed by
leaders in this society that Methodii
officials seriously contemplate adoi
tion of the selective draft, and e:
press belief that It can be made
work. A new department of Metbi
diet machinery is contemplated, it
eluding an exemption board.
