HUGHES OFFERS AMENDMENTS TO PLAN OF LEAGUE Seven Changes in Covenant Suggested in Address Before Union League Club. (Br Associated Frssi) NEW YORK, March 27. Seven amendments to the League of Nations covenant. Intended primarily by their author to Insure the American continent against European aggression, to protect the United State from enforced administration of foreign territory and to revoke the "trouble-

breeding guaranty of the existing po litical independence of member nations, -were proposed here last night by Charles E. Hughes. In an address before the Union Club reviewing exhaustively the terms of the proposed covenant, Mr. Hughes declared that the American people were entitled to a better piece of work." "Hughes amendments,' suggested "aside from formal Improvements," were stated as follows: .1 Explicit provision as to the requirements of unanimity of decision. 2. Suitable limitation as to the field of the league's inquiries and action, so as to leave no doubt that internal concerns of states, such as immigration and tariff laws, are not embraced. Monroe Doctrine Included. 3. Providing that no foreign power hereafter shall acquire by conquest, purchase, or in any other way, any possession on the American continent ' or the Islands adjacent thereto. , 4. Providing that the settlement of ; purely American questions shall be remitted primarily to the American nations, and that European nations shall not intervene unless requested to do so by the American nations 5. Omitting the guaranty (of the existing independence of member nations) of Article X. 6. Providing that no member of the league shall be constituted a mandatory without its consent, and no European or Asiatic Power shall be constituted a mandatory of any American people. 7. Providing that any member of the " league may withdraw at its pleasure on a specified notice. Mr. Hughes criticized severely the tenth article of the covenant, under which the "high contracting parties" undertake to "respect and preserve as against external aggression the territorial integrity and existing political Independence of all states members of the league." School Board to Decide On Army Training Here Lieutenant Colonel G. Z. Heidt of the Sixth District Reserve Officers Training corps, was in Richmond Wednesday afternoon in a consultation with J. H. Bentley, superintendent of the Richmond schools, and B. W. Kelly, principal of the high school, relative to establishing military training in the high school. The proposal for such establishment is now up to tho , school board. The officer was pleased with the prospects of a Reserve Officers Training Corps in the high school, saying that the school was in every way equipped to install the course. The R. O. T. C. as it is termed, is military training for school boys. There are the senior grade and junior grade, the latter being the course for high schools. The government furnishes all equipment and uniforms. One wool uniform is furnished for tho school year. If . a summer school, which is entirely voluntary, is established, two cotton uniforms are furnished for that time. A minimum of 100 boys is required for the corps. They must be at least 14 years old. The course requires two years and is entirely voluntary. However, if a boy passes the examinations that are required and enters the course it is difficult for him to get out. The work is taken three hours each week, two hours outside and one inside. The play grounds now being used by the schools can easily be converted into a drill ground. The only expense that would have to be met by the city would be that incurred by the enlargement of the present club house on the play grounds into an armory. If the school board, which will tako action Immediately, should decide to bring the training to the Richmond high school, the proposition probably will be put to the boys. Lieutenant Colonel Heidt said that the uniforms and equipment could be sent here in a week. War Instrument To Be Used in Mines in U. 5. fBy Associated Preasl WASHINGTON, March 27. The geophone, invented during t'.ie war to determine the exact location of sounds - above and beneath the surface of the earth, soon will be used extensively in mining operations in this country, the bureau of mines announced today. The instrument proved of great value to the allies before the cessation of hostilities in determining the location of hostile batteries and in de- . tectlng the approach of the enemy. . The digging of trenches or tunnels in the earth also could be located with great accuracy. Almost equally valuable uses will be found for the geophone in mining operation, the bureau stated, either for founding purposes or in determining tho location of men blocked from escape by cave-ins of explosions. Many lives are lost each year in mines through inability of searching parties to locate men held prisoner, and In such cases, the bureau states, the instrument could be used to great advantage. The United States owns fully one balf of the world's stock of diamands.

Flu" Epidemic Again Serious in England (By Associated Press) LONDON, March 27. The return epidemic of influenza finds England so short of doctors and nurses that, according to reports from various parts of the country, there are not enough even to give casual attention to the patients. The strain on the medical men who are trying to cope with the emergency is so severe that these is danger of many of them breaking down, especially in the north of Eng land, where the epidemic is raging with unusual violence. According to a statement in the House of Commons by Winston Churohill, secretary of war, only 1,500k of 11,000 doctors in the army last No vember have been demobilized so far and of 23,000 nurses only 3,000 have been released. The doctors emphasize the need for nurses in fighting influenza. They point out that in a large number of cases nurses are more required than physicians, and if more nurses were available the doctors would have the time they now lack to devote to the serious cases. From early morning until far into the night the overworked physician is kept busy. A leaf from a daybook supplied by a general practitioner shows that in one day he treated 96 private patients and 100 public patients. His labors began at 7:00 a. m., and extended well into the night. DE VALERA IN DUBLIN DUBLIN, Wednesday, March 26.

LARGE MEDICAL RESERVE S IS CONSIDERED

Men of Profession Who Have Served During War to be Members. - (By Associated Press) WASHINGTON, March 27 Plans to build up a large medical reserve corps, including all members of the profession who have served creditably during the war, were disclosed today by the War Department. Commissions in the reserve are being offered to officers of the Medical Department who are being discharged from the service. Under the law these officers cannot be retired to the inactive list of the reserve, but must be discharged and reappointed to continue their connection with the Medical Department Discharged officers are being re quested to apply for appointment, as they will be contributing to the formation of a reserve corps that will put the medical profession of the country on an organized basis in preparation for any future contingency which might arise.

S, (By Associated Press) WASHINGTON, March 27.- German hopes of reconquering American markets received another blow today. Users of dyes, chemicals, fertilizers and other products originated by German science were notified by the alien property custodian that importations from Germany would hereafter be subject to prosecution as infringement of patents licensed under the Trading with the Enemy act for use by American manufacturers. Possibility of a dumping of great surplus stocks which Germany was reported to have accumulated with the intention of underselling and perhaps stifling the infant American industries in the same lines thus has been blocked effectually before shipments could begin. Government officials regarded the decision of far-reaching importance in this country. General Goes Back to His Old Job as "Third Clerk (By Associated Press) LONDON, March 27. W. M.

Failure to Treat Oats for Smut Expensive Causes Annual Loss of Hundreds of Millions of Dollars By P. G. HOLDEN

AILTJRE to treat seed oats for 6mut results in an enormous annual losi Fto the farmers of America. It is very easy to get rid of smut so easy that it seems almost criminal not to do so. Two men working four minutes can treat enough oats for smut at a cost of four or five cents to plant an acre of ground. The Increased yield of oats that will result will net from $3 to $6. For the past 20 years the following method of treating seed oats for smut lias been in use : Spread the oats to be treated on the barn floor or in a tight wagon box. Make a eolation of one pint of formaldehyde to 40 gallons of water. Sprinkle

Bu the Iowa Agricultural Experi ment Station, by extensive tests covering a period of three years, has demonstrated that the time and labor required for treating oats may be greatly reduced by using less water in the solution. The method advocated by the Experiment Station is as follows: Make a solution by using one pint of formaldehyde to ten gallons of water. Sprinkle the 10 gallons of solution over 40 bushels of oats, shoveling the oats while sprinkling so that the solution is uniformly distributed. Sack the oats as soon as the solution has been thoroughly applied, and plant next morning. This stronger solution entirely kills the smut, does not Injure the oats, and makes it unnecessary to dry the oats before sacking. And because the oats can be immediately sacked and tied up little of the gas escapes. It will not make a great deal of difference which of these two methods we use. The important thing is that we treat our oats.

As one person sprinkles another person should shovel the oats over until every grain is thoroughly wet. As soon as the oats are sprinkled and well mixed cover the pile with blankets or sacks so that the formalin gas cannot escape. It is the gas that kills the smut cpores. Leave the oats covered from six to ten hours or overnight. Then remove the blankets and spread out the oats as much as possible to dry.
