The service of Agriculture is now one of the regular branches of the French Army. It is just as much an integral part of the French military machine' as a whole as is the infantry, the cavalry, the artillery, the engineers or the aviation. Military agriculture is one of the latest developments of modern war fare along with such things as gas masks, the rehearsing of battles be fore they are fought and aerial torpe does. While the present great Euro pean conflict has demonstrated that war must ever be destructive, and possibly more destructive than ever before, yet th constructive, conser vative basis on which the French seek to conduct it lias developed numerous possibilities for lessening and repair jug the destructiveness. In a general way the object of this4 Service of Agriculture is to keep i lie farming in the entire war zone and especially in the immediate vicinity of tin- front lines 1 1 r to its normal and maximum prodm t i .-ncss ll is now ;is much the dutv of every v ii icr in t he French ;i in v to In I p in these nrricultural labors as ii is to 1 .-lit. v. h tie I lie a nn as a v li.." cnn 1 iihuli s not o"lv t he ,i r-m laborer li.'t (By United Press) London. May 14. Von Bethman Holweg, German Imperial chancellor, will announce peace terms in the Reichstag Tuesday, according to a re port reaching here today from Am sterdam. From Copenhagen comes the news that the struggle between the sup porters and the opponents of th German Chancellor Is reaching a cri tical stage. It seems. likely that there will be a showdown at the meeting of the Reichstag Tuesday. Meantime, -while Count Bernstorff has accepted the appointment of am basador to Sweden the official an nouncement of the appointment is r ysteriously withheld. This failure to announce the appointment is taken as fitting in with the persistent re ports that Brnstorc is being groomed to succeed Foreign Secretary Zimmer man. Other information from Germany received via Holland indicated that Hollweg will only outline the general military and political situation but will not cover Germany's peace plans. It is reported that Hindenburg strenuously objected to the reforms proposed by the Constitutional Com mittee of Reichstag control of the army and urged that the Reichstag silting be terminated which would mean tho automatic death oi that coinmi'tee. Hollweg, it is reported announced that he would resign if such a trick was perpetrated on tho Liberals, in sisting that they could not then b lield in check. Hollweg won out with the Kaiser over Hindenburg ;i I o the Iniisrs and . i i ei men's iiecessa rv Tio- !u i eh'iT.I w ill III" v;.r ,r II.: . eM. .!, 1 1 a I ' 1 1 . ol noil : II'. 1 II' I in. :.

The liveliest sort of fighting which continued all through last night is still in progress in and around the village. The two posts to which the Ger mans still cling so tenaciously are to the north and south of the town. Around these they are swaying and fighting and centering their forces. At Rouex the Tommies strengthen ed their hold during the night. The GermanB have lost 200,000 men killed, wounded and captured from April 16th to May 1st on the French front, and the losses during the last two weeks are estimated as even greater. These figures are from headquarters at Paris and are conservative ST T EPWOETH LEAGUE TO HOLD CONFERENCE MORIS THAN RIXTY.FIVW THflll. SAND RECRUITS SINCE APRIL ,UM 711' 1.
