Sec'y Houston Says Country Must Not be Hindered hv Food Shortage.

VASHIN(;T N. Mart h I'S. The i farmers of America yere appealed to Pv S c y Houston Tuesday to join in a', r i nltui al preparedness measj ore,, so that the country may not he handicapped hy fond shortage in its effrots to meet the international crisis. Klimination of waste, conservation of surplus and attainment of maximum crop returns were out lined as imperative steps for MrenetheninK agricultural resources. P.oth for economic and patriotic reasons, the secretary said in a formal statement, the American farmer should strive this year for the hi&nest standard of efficiency in the production and conservation of food. 'Tnder the conditions in which this country now finds itself, it is important that everything practicable lie done to increase the efficiency of agricultural activities during tlie coming reason. It is desirable ( that throughout the country farm- ' ers confer among themselves on J matters affecting the production of needed crops, and that they conuult free'v .with county agents, state agricultural colleges and the department of agriculture." Part of Campaign. Tlie secretary's appeal was part of the campaign undertaken by the department of agriculture to mobilize the nation's agricultural resources. Assistant Sec'y Vrooman. in a statement several days ago. outlined why the various sections of the country should become self-supporting through crop diversification and pointed out also that much food might be supplied by cultivation of vacant city lots and yards. Mr. Houston urged particularly that as a me. ins of preventing "conspicuous production wastes" of important staple cereals, proper attention be pdven to the selection and safeguarding of seed for planting, tlie preparation of the land and the care of the crop. "Under existing conditions." he said, "every precaution should be taken: (1) to reduce production wastes by testing seed sulficiently in advance to insure against the planting of dead seed; (2) to treat with disinfectip.?: dips all .eed subject to disease that can be prevented, such as the smuts of wheat, barley, oats and rye. the losses from which are estimated conservatively at $50,000,ooo to 560.OoO.000 in the average year; (.'5) to prepare especially thoroughly for planting these vitally important cereal crops and to care for them as may be necessary during the season." I'rges Diseitsc I'rrxcntion. After discussing certain methods of planting cereals, the statement declared it was especially important to reduce the risk of wastes through the action , of disease or insects in northern staple vegetables, such as potatoes, cabbage and onions. Pointing out that seed stocks are low, Sec'y Houston suggested that all seed potatoes should be treated for scab before planting, and that equipment for plant spraying should be on hand, it being added that "wide spread outbreak of blicht throughout the important producing states (which fortunately rarely occurs except in restricted areas), might diminish production H. 000, 000 bushels, a day during August and September if prolonged rainy weather should occur. Preventable potato diseases, the secretary said, frequently reduce the crop from 50,000.000 to 100.000,000 bushels. ni'.MAM) Y IT 1 1 1 I CAW A I,. LONDON. March 2S.

A new plan for obtaining naval recruits in Indiana by means of a squad of 12 or 13 automobiles, to be known as the Old Glory squadron, was announced Tuesday by Lieut. Commander E. F. Clement of the local navy recruiting station. The plan, confidently expected to stimulate navy recruiting to a high degree, is for a squadron of automobiles, draped with bunting and carrying the best public speakers obtainable, to make a tour of the various towns of the state. The machines will be accompanied by a fife and drum corps, and at every town visited, the speakers will appeal to young men to do their part toward making up the 4 0,000 additional men needed to bring the United States navy to its new war strength. The automobiles will be donated for the trip and it is expected that the llrst tour will be made early next week. Its itinerary will include Noblesville, Tipton, Kokomo, Marion, Anderson and Fort Wayne. Other places will be visited on later trips. Lieut. Clement has received permission from the local car company to place placards on the front of street cars. The posters read 'Your Navy Needs 40,000 men. Show your patriotism. Enlist Today." Recruiting In all branches of the service was brisk here Tuesday. MAYOR SAYS SCHWIER IS TRUE AMERICAN CITIZEN I ort Wayne Man Who Ordered Hags Taken From Window is Held Rlameloss. International News Service: FOKT WAYNE, Ind., March 28. A statement issued Tuesday evening by Mayor William J. Hosey, Sec'y Charles L. Biederwolf of the Commercial club and members of the committee in charge of the reception to returned militiamen and patriotic demonstration a week ago, says that William C. Schwier, member of the board of county commissioners, who ordered paper flags removed from windows of the court house, has been unjustly condemned and stamps him as a true American. Mr. Schwier explained on the day of the flag incident that there is a rule prohibiting the pasting of anything in the court house windows; that he feared the sight of the emblems in the windows "might give offense to some one" or cause an anti-American crank to hurl a bomb into the building. A storm of criticism broke against him. He did not take part in the patriotic parade but went to Chicago, where he was in a hospital for several days on the verge of a nervous collapse. He has been at his desk in the court house since Monday and has made further explanations in the newspapers, following up the public apology which he issued before going away. HOSPITAL SHIP IS SUNK WITHOUT WARNING BY SUB Vewd With All Hal Cros Distinguishing Marks i Torpedoed by Germans. LONDON. March 2S. The British hospital ship Asturias was torpedoed without warning, it was officially announced Tuesday. Thirtyone persons were killed and 12 are missing. The statement says: "The British hospital ship Asturias. while steaminsr with all navigation lights and with all proper distinguishing Red Cross signs visibly illuminated. wa.s torpedoed without warning on the night of March 2 0. The following casualties occurred: Military dead, 11: missing, ?, including one female star! nurse; injured. IT: crew dead. 20. with 9 missing, including one stewardess; crew injured. 22. "The torpedoing of this hospital ship is Included in the list of achievements claimed by U-boats a-s reported in a German wireless message Monday." It is understood that when the Asturias was torpedoed she wa-s carrying no wounded. She had disem- ! barked a considerable number of wounded at a certain Hntish port and was on a return voyage with

Mustering Out Orders are Rescinded, Making 15,000 Soldiers Available.

WASHINGTON. March 2S. Nearly 13.000 men were added Tuesday to the national guard force avail- ! able for federal police duty by a war department order suspending the muster out of all guard organizations still in the federal service. With the men called out during the past few days this gives the government upwards of 45,000 guardsmen for employment in their home states to protect industries and other property. Most of the men affected by Tuesday's order are at their home mobilization camps preparing to return to civilian life after long stays on the Mexican border. They now will be held at their camps or armories for assignment as conditions require. In all 18,000 men are retained by the order, but several of the units already had been designated for federal service. Another announcement made Tuesday was that the federal reserve board had ordered army vouchers accepted by federal raserve banks as negotiable paper. The action was taken to meet the emergency presented by the failure of the last congress to pass the army appropriation bill and the deficiency bills to cover border mobilization expenses. Some time ago the quartermaster general reported deficiencies totaling more than J.SO.000,000; since then new obligations have beon incurred to provide supplies and equipment for the army and national guard and to restore reserve stocks depleted by the border mobilization. Probably the total amount of business the war department must do on credit will pass the $30,000,000 mark before appropriations become available. This burden was found too heavy for contractors to carry unaided and the action of the reserve board enables them to discount government paper at government banks. The action of the J. P. Morgan Co. Monday in agreeing to carry Jl. 000, 000 in war department obligations for contractors, without any lnttrest charge on the money was arranged without formal reference to the war department. Army officials slid Monday the result was to save these contractors who take advantage of the offer of the regular discount rates of interest which the banks would charge in handling government paper. SUPPLIES FOR TROOPS ARE BEING PREPARED Quartermaster nt Chicago Arranges to Send Dqiiipnient to Guardsmen Called Out. CHICAGO, March 28. Quantities of military stores, equipment and food were being prepared here Tuesday night by the United states army quartermaster's department for dispatch to the national guard units of Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Missouri, Nebraska, Minnesota, Michigan, Wisconsin, South Dakota, J Colorado, Wyoming and Ohio, being mobilized under the direction cf Maj. Gen. Thomas H. Barry, commander of the central department. Details of the preparations were withheld under the army censorship regulations. Unofficially it was Ftated that preparations also were under way to care for the needs of the guard organizations not now under arm. While no figures were announced as to the number of recruits, long lines of applicants were about the recruiting stations and the Illinois national guard armories and the naval reserve headquarters. MAY ATTACK CAPITAL JUAREZ. Mex.. March 2S. Fighting was in progress all day Monday at Bachimba canyon, 35 miles south of Chihuahua City, Mexicans who arrived here Tuesday on a refugee train reported. Villa troops attacked a troop train going south, they said, and a general engagement followed.
