The State Council of Defense announced yesterday the places, speakers and dates for eighty-seven of the county war conferences to be held in each of the ninety-two counties of Indiana, Jan. 27 to Feb. 19. Some of the speakers are men and women who have just returned from France and will come to Indiana under the auspices of the Federal food administration. One or two of the other speakers appeared in Indianapolis as feature speakers during the big state-wide war conference held recently. • , It is planned to have a great demonstration in each of the county seats of this state so as to wake the state to the great war problems that confroht it. Each of the conferences will be conducted along the same lines that characterized the Indianapolis conference, which was so decided a success and the first of its kind in the United States. There are to be eight of the national speakers, including Edward F. Trefz, a publicist of Chicago Colby, an attorney of New Jersey; Julius Lincoln of Jamestown, N. Y., all of whom have been in France and returned only last week with burning messages; Mrs. Percy Pennybacker, formerly president! of the National Federation of Women’s Clubs; R. L. Wilbur, president of Leland Stanford University; Dr. Alexander Cairns, a lecturer for the food administration; W. J. McGlothlin and Mrs. Kate Barnard, both national figures in war propaganda work. .

Will War End January 27.

This month everybody will have a chance to sei whether the famous prophecy based on the Book of Revelation to which so much publicity has been given, will come to. pass or not. This prophecy takes the Biblical number 666 as -the number of the Kaiser; it counts 666 Mfnnths from the Kaiser’s birth, (January 27, 1859) which brings the time to June 27—the date of the beginning of the present war. The Book of Revelation says. “Power <was given him to continue forty and two months,” and 42 months from June 27, >314, will bring the ending of the prophecy to January 27, 1918 when the downfall of the Kaiser is confidently expected by those who believe in the prophecy.

American Forces Now Six Times as Large as in Spanish-American War

There were 1,428,650 enlisted men and 110,856 officers in the United States Army at the opening of 1918, more than one and a half times as large as any force ever before mobilized by this nation, according to a statement by Secretary of War Baker. During the war with Spain the Army of the United States at its maximum strength aggregated 272;000 men and officers. The army in the field and in training now is practically six times as great as the maximum number under arms in the Spanish-American war. About 45,000 officers were commissioned from civil life in the two series of training camps, eight times as many as the number of officers in the regular army April 1, 1917.

The supply of this seed is considerably short, according to figures received from the government by Prof. G. I. Christie, superintendent of agricultural extension at the university. Available reports indicate that the present crop is 64.5 per cent normal as compared with 76.4 per cent for 1916 or 69.8 per cent for a ten year average. As a result iof this shortage, the price is advancing steadily since those farmers who have seed are holding it for higher figures. Exact needs of each farmer in the state in the way of seeds will be ascertained by the seed stocks survey of Indiana Feb; 4 to 9.
