IIIIIIIIHIII . DISPAIUIES a VOLUME XVIII. Von Hertling Ha$ String to Statement That Peice Can Be Discussed on Basis Laid Down By Wilson. WORLD TRIBUNAL IS PREJUDICED German Advance in Russia Goes On. In Siberia the Situation is Serious. Ja ' pan May Intervene (By JUnriaM PrcwJ ' ' Germany through her chancellor, fount von Ilertlnlg, declares a general peace can be dlaeuxscd on the basil of the four principles laid dowu recently by President Wilson. , . However,, the- chancellor's accept ance was followed by the statement that the principles must be recognised by all the states and peoples, which stage, he said, had not been reached. 'A court of arbitration Is lacking, the chancellor said, adding that the trib unal of the world is prejudiced, and Germany declines Jo be judged by It. lie insisted that the entente war alius were still imperialistic, although ad mitting that the President's message is a "small step" toward peace. Chancellor von Hertling voiced no great change in Germany's attitude to ward the question which entente statesmen have declared to be funda mental. He did not go Into great de tail concerning Germany's conduct to ward President Wilson's proposals. The abject surrender of Russia was gloried in as leading to peace on the eastern-froht, and a hint was thrown out to the Belgian government to en ter into separate peace negotiations with' Germany. The problem of Al sace and Lorraine continues to be held as having no international effect. Meanwhile, although Russia is ready to conclude peace, the Teutonic con quest of her territory goes on appar ently unimpaired. Iteval, the Russian naval base on the southern coast of the Gulf of Finland, ami Pskov, 175 miles southwest of Petrograd, have been occupied. , The rapid German ad vance continues along the line south ward, especially iu Volhyriia, and the Ukraine. . In Siberia the situation is very se rious, and Japan in reported to be' preparing to intervene there veTy soon. The non-Bolsheviki forces there have ! to contend not -only with the Bolshe viki, but also against released Austro Hungarian and German prisoners, v Activity on the western battle front is still confined to raids, and artillery duels, aerial flgulng and bombing. There has been an .increase In the raiding operations aiong the : Piave river Lu Italy, but no change in position has occurred. : The artillery duel In the American sector in France is still intense. ,;" fv v. .-: t Another ' German raider, the Wolf, has arrived iu port after harassing en tente merchant vessels in the Atlantic Indian and Pacific Oceans. The total number of vessels destroyed by the Wolf has not been disclosed, .but tile loss of eleven, three of them Americans, in the Indian and Pacific Oceans is as sumed by the British admiraly to be due to her activities. .

Wlta icsciauie seea scare aud dear, and transportation troubles hindering the delivery of the stocks that are avail able, the garden propagandists art opniina; a campaign against waste in lue hope that there will be enouzh in go round. Recognising that war gar dens last year produced millions of uoiiars- worth of food, aud that with proper encouragement there will he wore ami bigger war gacdeusthls year, the importance of the seed situation be comes apparent One of the first and most Important conservation measures proposed la com munity ouying. There are some thing that every gardener wants, and which mignt as well be purchased under a co-operative scheme as individually, and it is suggested that neighbors club together and buy Jointly those seeds that all want Nearly ever; gardener gj-owa swlsa chard, but few families hare use for more than a doaen plants. A packet df seeds, the small est quantity that can be bought, will produce at least 130 plants, so that more than 100 of them are wasted. . It is not safe to keep them over to plant next season all seeds rapidly lose their, germinating vigor after the .first year. - Most gardeners want from a dosen to three dosen tomato plants, and a package of seeds will produce probably 500. L Besides, few experienced gard eners care to rink planting only one kind, as that to get several dosen plants of several varieties, the gardner buys enough seed to produce 1,500 plants. Tomato seed are not particularly scarce this year, but cabbage seeds are. A house garden will have room for perhape twenty-live heads of early cab bage aud fifty or sixty of a winter variety. By Individual buying enough cabbage seeds are purchased for these seventy-five 'heads to produce 300 or 400 plants. The Department of Agri culture is therefore urging gardeners to orgablze clubs among themselves not only to buy seeds but to meet at re gular intervals to discuss experiences and to impart to each other informa tion gleaned from other sources. Another conservation measure sug gested Is more careful planting. Nearly all seeds are sown too thickly. TIiIb is uecesasry with some varieties, but where stock is bought from a bouse that tests tlie germination and which has a reputation to maintain for selling seeds, that grow, tliey may be safely planted about us . the plants are ex pected to appear. . ; It has long been the rule " among gardeners to plant corn in rows, the seeds 4 inches apart and thin the plants to 21 inches apart. It is now recommended by the agricultural de partment expert that corn be planted in hills, six seeds to a hill, and thinned to three, which the experts declare will save a lot or seed, aud give more re turn. ' Lima beans, planted two to a hill and thinned to one, the hills a foot apart, the experts say, will give more beans than the old way of putting seed every four niches, and thinning to V inches. As for lima beans, which are the scarcest and dearest seeds of all this year, it is entirely safe to plant single beans a foot apart late in May aud replant any hill that fails - to thrive. The same is true of all bush beans. Radish and turnip seed, which are niong the hardest to get this year, are ilso subject to great waste. The aver age gardener does not usually plant them too closely, but he plants so many more than he needs or can use: ; It is suggested that they be planted in small areas and in succession rather than to have a superabundance early iu the season ami none later on. : But to do this the ga wiener must pluut several urleties, and here again comes waste uulea. sthe seeds .are bought on the club plan :" .1-.. - With onion seeds soaring tne guruen wiseacres recommend this year that in stead of planting in drills and thlnuiiig that small gardeners sow the seed eariy boxes iudors or In the hotbed, anu transplant them when the size of a pencil Although tuls method woult1 seem to eutall a lot or extra wore, were a comnensatlou. The seedbed can be cleared of all germinated weeds tie- fore the transplanting is made, wntcn reduces greatly the amount of weeding to be done later. Onion sets are wree times the-price of last year, nna tney were hieh then, but that need not pre' elude the enjoyment of scallions if the gardener will plant the right variety nt nninir.iri-narlnir need In well enriched soil just as soon as he can work! the ground. . , W.S.S. !

Representative Doughton leuies that he kuew anything alxnit it and his word Is accepted by those who know him, for he has too much political sense to have permitted any such thlug if he could have prevented it. Mr. Mur phy 1ms vowed that he will run down the author of the letter and expose him. North Carolinians iu Washington 1iok? that the guilty person will be found und held up for public consid eration and condemnation. There are three theories here about the letter: (1) That some fool friend of Representative Doughton put it out, hoping to hurt Mr. Murphy; (21 some clever partisan of Mr. Murphy circulated it. feeling that it would be charged to Mr Doughton and damn him. and (3 1 It was originated by a republican and slipped out quietly to start a bitter row between democrats. so that the republicans would stand show In that district next rail. These Ideas are based on conclusions, not facts. They are the results of efforts to solve the mystery of the damning communication which seema to have had its origin in Washington. Honest efforts are. being made to run down the originator of the letter. Mr. Doughton is hunting for the au thor as a bird dog hunts for hidden quail.
