LINCOLN, Neb., June 5.-Reports have been received here that Nebraska farmers are rcthrashlnut old wheat straw-slacks, and that some of them have made a profit of $1 to $1.50 a bushel from the operation. The wheat grades No. 2, and from strawstacks two to three years old some farmers have thrashed 109 to 200 bushels. This kind of "conservation" started in the southern nart of the state and has spread widely. Attention of county conservation boards and defense councils have been called to the probability of substantially Increasing the food supply by rethrashing wheat straw, and for the benefit of wheat growers a record will be kept of further results of the rethrashing.

EVANSVILLE—Charles T. Elliot, of New Harmony. Ind.. one of the largest landowners of Poeey county, states that prospects srs good for a bumbsr com crop in Posey county, despite th# fact that planting was delayed by the cold and wet spring. At present all the bottom lands in Posey county are flooded, but Elliot la of the opinion that the water will go down In time to enable the farmer# to replant their crops. WASHINGTON - Many Davies# county farmers worked Sunday plowing their hill corn so they can re-plant their river bottom corn ae soon as the ground Is in condition. The high water destroyed thousands of acre* of bottom corn and oats. Much wheat was also destroyed. Practically all farmers whose bottom corn was destroyed will replant. 8HELBYVILLE—Bhelby county strawberries are In the market. The Crop Is not ripening evenly. Th* yield will be above the average, The early cherry crop In this county will be a failure.

HIGH RECORD FOR BANKS

Asset*

of National Institutions Now $16,144,000,000. WASHINGTON, June 5.-Resourcea of the country’ir national banks have reached another high record. Controller Williams announces that on May 1, the date of the last bank call, the assets of the banks aggregated $16,144,000,000, an increase of $165,000,000 since the last call, March 5, and of nearly $2,000,000,000 since a year go. Reserves of >948.000,000 with reserve gents, $7«2.000.000 with reserve banks nd $763,000,000 In their own vaults were reported by the banks, the combined total with reserve banks and In vault exceeding legal requirements by $28,-

000,000.

"The total amount of balances carried with reserve agents, $948,000,000, together with $26,000,000 of excess reserve with the federal reserve banks and in vault," said Controller Williams, "all represented surplus or excess surplus. The banks have thus already accommodated themselves to the time when the balances carried In national banks in central reserve and reserve cities can no longer be counted as reserve, holding as they do now the entire required reserve In their own vaults and in the federal reserve banks." Deposits reached the new high record of $13,075,000,000. exceeding by $118,000,000 those of March 5, and by $1,944,000,000 those of a year ago. v

"There comes a time when a nation must sacrifice every thing to the principles which it profes*es,” said the President. “I am thankful for the privilege of self-sacrifice which lends dignity to the human spirit. This is a happy day, a day of noble memory, a day of dedication and a day of the renewal of that spirit that has made \merica great among the nations of the w urld The old soldiers waved their hats and the hall resounded with the "rebel yell” when the President mounted the platform. Many veterans crowded around him and shook hands before he began his speech. Thousands stood on the streets outside the hall. Speaks of Registration. The President said he. felt there was some significance in the coincidence that at the moment he was welcoming the former hoet erf'the Confederacy to the capital they sought to destroy, millions of young men were registering themselves fur service to keep the world

free

"These solemn lines of young men going today all over the Union to the places of registration,” he said, "ought to be a signal to the world, to thus* who dare flout the dignity and honor and rights of the United States, that all her manhood w|U flock to that standard under which we all delight to serve, and that he who challenges the rights and principles of the United States challenges the united strength and devotion of a nation. “We have prospered with a sort of heedless and Irresponsible prosperity. Now we are going to lay ail our wealth. If necessary', and spend all our blood, if need be. to show that we were not accumulating that wealth selfishly, but were accumulating It for the service of mankind. People Know the Ideals. "Men all over the world have thought of the United States as a trading and money-getting people, whereas we who have lived at home know the ideals with which the hearts of this people have thrilled; we know the sober convictions which have lain at the basis of life all the time, and we know the power and devotion which can be spent In heroic wise for the service of those ideals that we have treasured. We have been allowed to become strong In the providence of God that our strength might be used to prove, not our selfishness. but our greatness, and if there is any ground for thankfulness in a day like this. I am thankful for the privilege of self-sacrifice, which is the only privilege that lends dignity to the human spirit.’’

[Special to The Indianapolis News] KNTGHTSTOWN. Ind., June 5.-A whirlwind tour of Indiana, under the direction of the Woman’s Franchise League, was started here last night, when Dr. Effle McCollum Jones, field director* of the National American Woman Suffrage Association, addressed an audience of men and women which filled the First Presbyterian church to

overflowing.

At the close of the talk a franchise league was organized, the first In the history of the city. Several men were included in its membership. Suffrage as War Measure. Dr. Jones declared that woman suffrage should be made a war measure, as * this is a time when the advice and help of every citizen is needed by the government. Had the world movement for democracy, of which woman suffrage Is a part, come fifteen years earlier, she said, the world war would not have taken place. She cited the case of Russia, which is offering enfranchisement of women as a part of the new program of government. Mrs, Frances Morgan presided. The officers of the new league were elected as follows: Mrs. O. L. Stage, president; Mrs. R. L. Bell, vice-president; Mrs. C. F. Baxter, secretary; Mrs. C. M. Risk,

The object in drawing as many as 2,000,000 men will be to make provision for exemptions. The government has a fair idea as to what percentage of men will he exempted by reason of physical disabilities, and it is able to make a rough estimate of the number who will be exempted by reason of dependent, relatives Out of the possible number of persons drawn the government wishes to obtain about 750.000 men who will be fit In every respect for service abroad. In Camp September 1. As alteady has been announced, machinery for the administration of the exemption provisions of the army wet will be created at once. As soon as the drawing takes place the work of exempting the men entitled to exemption will be taken up. It is assumed by the war department that this part of the work will consume several weeks. Then those men who have not been exempted will have until September 1 to arrange for going into the camps that are to be established. There is no thought at present of sending th# army that is being raised In this way to France before next spring. Attempts to amend the national defense act so as to exclude aliens from the estimated population in fixing the draft quota of localities were aban-

ce of Provost Marshal-

General Growder, who said statistics of alien population were not sufficiently reliable to warrant such a change in the law. Aliena, of course, can not be drafted into the American army, but for the present their number will be taken into account In fixing the quotas. Some other way may be found to solve the

question.

From th# region of Gora to the head of the Gulf of Trieat. the Austrians Sunday forced the Italians to accept battle at varions points, especially on th* west slopes of San Marco, near Gorx. where they invaded Italian positions they had previously leveled by their gunfire.

Vienna Asserts Italian Gains Have Been Very Costly. VIENNA (via London), June 5.—The losses of the Italians in their attack on the Isonzo front are placed at 180,000 in an official announcement Increasing activity near Jamiano, on the front above Triest, is reported. The statement follows: “East of Gorz the enemy on Saturday repeatedly attempted to reconquer lost trenches. All attacks' were In vain. Our captures were increased to eleven officers, 600 men and nine machine guns. In the Falti region we took 350 Italians from enemy positions. Near Jamiano the fighting became more active. Near Arco, In the southern Tyrol, an Italian hydroplane was shot down. “It is evident from a careful estimate that the Italian losses In the tenth Isonzo battle surpass all the previous sacrifices of the enemy. In the course of the nineteen days of the battle at least thirty-ftVS Italian divisions were engaged in the first line, so that along a front of forty kilometers, half of the Italian army attacked. The enemy's losses in killed or wounded positively surpass 160,000 men. Moreover, we took 16,000 prisoners, making the total Italian losses 180,000 men. "For his part, the enemy occupied Mount Kuk and the destroyed village of Jamiano, which gains hardly Justify the cry' of victory on the second anniversary of the war with Italy.
