That is not the proper time to plant trees and shrubs, however, and for the home orchard and berry patch plans should be made now, and the plants placed in the ground in their new location before the warm days arrive. While the planting of a commer cial orchard is perhaps not advisable in this country, every farm home should have a small orchard and now is the time to plan for its planting. Trees and shrubbery will cost more this year than ever before, but these prices are not out of reason with other values. FRED WALLACE, PRESIDENT The selection of Fred N. Wallace ef Tumalo as president of the Ore gon Orrigation Congress is an honor to this part of the state, and follow ing, as he does, another Centrl Ore gon man, Jay H.

Still, allied apprehension was iloep-sented and ma terial assistance was Imperative. Outlook Dark for 1918. A review of the situation showed that with Itussiu out of the war the central powers would be able to release a larye uumlier of divisions for service elsewhere, and that during the spring and summer of litis, without interfer ing with the status quo at Saloulki, they could concentrate on the western front a force much stronger than that of the allies. In view of this it was represented to the war department in December as of the utmost importance that the allied preparations be expe dited. My conclusion was that, although the morale of the German people and of the armies was better than it had been for two years, only an untoward combination of circumstances could give the enemy a decisive victory be fore American support as recommend ed could be made effective, provided the allies secured unity of action. However, a situation might arise which would necessitate the temporary use of all American troops in the units of our allies for the defensive, but nothing in the situation Justified the relinquish ment of our firm purpose to form our own army under our own flag. While the Germans were practicing for open warfare and concentrating their most aggressive personnel In shock divisions, the training of the allies was still limited to trench war fare. As our troops were being trained for open warfare, there was every rea son why we could not allow them to be scattered among our allies, even by di visions, much less as replacements, ex cept by pressure of sheer necessity. Any sort of permanent amalgamation would Irrevocably commit America's fortunes to the hands of the allies. Moreover, it was obvious that the lack of homogeneity would render these mixed divisions difficult to maneuver and almost certain to break up under stress of defeat, with the consequent mutual recrimination. Again.' there was no doubt that the realization by the German people that Independent American divisions, corps.

The war department planned B early as July. l'.U. to send to France by June l.Y l'.HX. twenty-one divisions of the tl.cn strength of 'JO Owl men each, together with auxiliary and re placement troops, making a total of some I'.IOliiMl men. While the numbers fell short of my recommendation of July ft. 1017. which contemplated at least l.OOOIVH) men by May. WIS. It should be borne In in nil that the main factor In the problem was the amount of shipping to become avail able for military purposes. In which must be Included tonnage required to supply the allies with steel, coal and food. On Pee. 2. 1017. an estimate of the situation was cabled to the war depart ment with the following recommenda tion: "In view of these conditions. It Is of the utmost Importance to the allied cause that we move swiftly. The minimum number of troops we should plan to have In France by the end of June Is four army corps of twenty-four divisions. In addition to troops for serv ice of the rear. This figure Is given as the lowest we should think of, and Is placed no higher because the limit of available transportation would not seem to warrant It. "A study of transportation facili ties shows sullicleiit American ton nage to bring over this number of troops, hut to do so there must be a reduction In the tonnage allotted to other than army needs. The use of shipping for commercial purposes must he curtailed hs much as possi ble. The allies are very weak and we must come to tlielr relief this year. HU8. The year after may be too late. It Is very doubtful If they can hold on until 1010 unless we give them a lot of support this year. It Is there fore strongly recommended that a complete readjustment of transporta tion he made ami that the needs of the war department as sol forth above he regarded as immediate." In the latter part of January Joint note No. 12, presented by the military representatives with the supreme war council, was approved hy the council. This note concluded that France would be safe during 1!'1S only under certain conditions, namely: "That the strength of the Uritish and French troops in France are con tinuously kept up to their present total strength and that they receive the expected re-enforcements of not less than two American divisions per month." The first German offensive of 1018, beginning March 31, overran all re sistance during the Initial period of the attack. The offensive made such Inroads upon French and British re serves that defeat stared them In the face unless the new American troops should prove more Immediately available than even the most optimis tic had dared to hope. On March 27 the military representatives with the supreme war council prepared their Joint note No. 18. This note re peated the previously quoted state ment from Joint note No. 12, and continued : "The battle which Is developing at the present moment In France, and which can extend to the other thea ters of operations, may very quickly place the allied armies in a serious situation from the point of view of ef fectives. "The military representatives are of the opinion that It Is highly desirable that the American government should assist the allied armies as soon fls possible by permitting In principle the temporary service of American . units in allied army corps and divisions. Such re-enforcements must, however, be obtained from other units than those American divisions which are now operating with the French, and the units so temporarily employed must eventually he returned to the Ameri can army. "The military representatives are of (he opinion that from the present time. In execution of the foregoing, and un til otherwise directed by the supreme war council, only American Infantry and machine gun units, organized as that government may decide, be brought to France, and that all agree ments or conventions hitherto made In conflict with this decision be modified accordingly."

Washington. President Wilson has derided not. to exorcise powers con ferred In the McNary misiir control bill authorizing purchase ami distri bution of the Cuban surar crop, ac cording to a statement It-sued at the W hite house. The statement said the president hnd d- cldi'd on the basis of facts pre sented for his consideration and the recommendation of the xutar equalisa tion board (but this power should uot be exercised. In a long statement announcing the president's decision, the declaration Is made that apparently the available sugar supply Is sufficient for American needs, "even on the present unneces sarily large basis of consumption," and notice is given that the power of prl-e control through the licensing system, authorlied by the bill, will be Invoked If necessary In co-operation with tho department of Justice. Figures attach ed rhow that the estimated 1919 con sumption in the United States was slightly more than 4, .100.000 tons, of which normally only 1,000,000 tons was domestic production. As the Cuban crop is unusually large, 4.800.000 tons, of which the al lies, however, because of limited pur chasing power, will take ouly about 1.250.000 tons, and as the estimated Louisiana, western beet, Hawaiian and Porto Rlcan production will reach i. 000.000 tons, the statement foresees a sufficient supply for American needs. r M rtf vf.''

Coming on the, heels of the most successful nation-wide raid on radi cals ever made In this country, Mr. Palmer's statement was regarded with unusual interest by members of con gress.

The bodies to be removed are those buried in cemeteries outside the zone of the armies and do not in clude those gathered Into big Ameri can cemeteries in the army zones. It Is understood that the policy of the American government will be to remove to the United States only those bodies requested by relatives. These 20,000 bodies are scattered In 600 cemeteries, the largest two of which are at Brest, where there are about 5500 graves of men who died of influenza at Brest and on trans ports. .
