HOUSTON LAUDS PART PLAYED BY FARMERSJN WAR Millions Helped on Farms to Sustain America and Allies, Says Report. (By Associated Preasl WASHINGTON, Dec. 6 Tribute to the part played by the nation's soil tillers In winning the war is paid by Secretary Houston In his annual report for 1918, transmitted to congress today by the White House. Bumper crops were grown both this year and last in. spite ot adverse weather, the secretary says, and the millions of men and women and boys and girls on the. farm with the organized agencies assisting them performed satisfactorily the supremely important task of sustaining their own country and thoBe associated with it in the war. Emphasizing the difficulties and the absence of dramatic glamor in the war Job of the farmer, Mr. Houston v speaks with satisfaction of the charge during tho past year toward giving agriculture a larger place in the newspapers and magazines and the world's thought and bringing the great urban population Into closer touch with rural life. "It Is one thing to ask a man to save," says the secretary contrasting the task of the one who conserves and the one who produces, "it is another to ask him, confronted as he is by the chances of the market and the risk of loss from disease, flood and drouth, to put his labor and capital Into tho production of food and feeds, and the raw material for clothing." Pointing out that the size of the harvest may not measure the labors of the farmer, Mr. Houston records that the acreage planted this year in principal products aggregated 289,000,000 acres, or more by 5,600,000 acres than in the preceding record year. Increased values for all farm products are shown. "On the basis of prices that have recently prevails," pays the report, "the value of all crops produced in 1918 and of live stock on farms on January 1, including horses, mules, cattle, sheep, swine and poultry, is estimated to be $24,700.000,000. compared with $21,323,000,000 for 1917. $15,800,000,000 for 1916, $12,650,000,000 for 1914, and $11,700,OOO.OflO for the five year average. The Increased values reveal that the monetary returns to the fanners have increased proportionately with those of other groups of producers in the nation and that their purchasing power has kept pace In the rising scale of prices."

SOUTHERN ISLANDS INTERESTED IN PEACE MEETING

(By Associated Tress) SYDNEY, Australia, Dec. 7. Pronouncement by Arthur J. Balfour, British secretary of state for foreign affairs, that Germany's colonies will not be returned to her after the war, revives in Australia and New Zealand animated discussion of the future of all the islands lo. the Pacific south of the equator. Whatever conclusion is reached by the Allies at the peace conference as to the disposition of Gorman New Guinea and German Samoa, not to mention the Marshall, Caroline and Ladrone groups, It is generally admitted that an entire recasting of the various administrations ot the British island is needed to develop their great potential wealth, afford security for trade and insure adequate defence. It is believed that a federation of all the British archipelago under a central authority having its seat of government at the most convenient center will eventuate after the war. Thus, in effect, a new state would be created which might be called the British Pacific Federation and might be administered by a governor general or high commissioner. Such a governor, general or high commissioner would not be concerned with the local gov. ernmental affairs of any particular group, but with the federation as a whole. He might be assisted by a council composed of appointed oScials, representatives elected by each island group, and trade commissioners representing Great Britain, Australia,

New Zealand and Canad. Xocai legist latures would," under such a scheme as this, have as large a measure of self-government as compatible with the proportion of whites to South Sea islander and . Asiatics, Incapable at present of self-government. - It is pointed out here, however, that if the British islands are federated, means of communication between them must be provided in order that their administration and general welfare may obtain. Existing steamer services radiate from Sydney in Australia and Auckland in New Zealand, but groups served by any one line have no connecting link with adjacent Islands served by other lines, or with China and India, save by way of Sydney. Attention" is called to the now well known fact that Just prior to the war, Germany was engaged in linking up her Pacific island possessions with the East with a view to a monopoly of the copra trade; and it is argued from this that if there should be a comprehensive British steamship service with Singapore at one end an New Zealand at the other Insuring a continuous supply of Asiatic labor for the islands it would greatly contribute to the material benefit of the proposed federation. Not only will German New Guinea or Kaiser Wilhelm land, and German Samoa be disposed' of at the peace table, but the exceedingly valuable phosphate Island, Nauru, the German Solomons, the Bismarck Archipelago, the Marshalls, Carolines and Ladrones.

GALLS ATTENTION TO RED CROSS WEEK

The Palladium has been asked to call the attention' of its readers to a paragraph from the statement made by Chairman Henry P. Davidson of the Red CroBs War Council on bis return from spending three months In Europe. The paragraph deals with the Red Cross Christmas Roll Call for members to be held In Richmond and the country over Dec. 16-23. It says: "During the week before Christmas, there is to be a Roll Call, giving every citizen an opportunity to register as a member of the volunteer humanitarian agency of the American people, which is recognized throughout the world as the American Red Cross.

This membership involves no commitment beyond the payment ot one dollar, but this payment will register a continuance of humane sympathy and at the same time it will have the very practical value of contributing to the continuation ot Red Cross chapter

J work and to the meeting of the needs

witnin our own country." The Palladium has also received word from Lake Division Red Cross

headquarters stating that 96 of the Kentucky chapters had appointed I their local Roll Call managers up to ; Dec. 2. On the same day, Indiana and

Ohio were 75 organized in this respect
