The Walloons of Prussia have sent a dispatch to M. Clemeuceau, chair man of the peace conference, request ing that their annexation to Prussia be canceled. M ILITARY S Y S T E M D E F E N D E D Dbject o f Courtmartial, Say Officers, Is Efficient Army. Washington, D. C.—The system of military jurisprudence is designed to produce an efficient, dependable fight ing army, not to do exact justice to in dividual soldiers, according to the views vigorously presented Friday to the committee of the American Bar association by army officers of field experience, including Majqr-General Edwin F. Glenn, organizer and com mander of the 83d division, now in command of Camp Sherman. In attaining that objective, the of ficers contended, the present machin ery for enforcing military discipline had proved both efficient and fair the final product of the system closely app^ximating justice to the individual in addition to producing what General Glenn described as the best disciplined grmy in France. £ases of court-martial sentences so excessive in the penalty awarded as to be* ridiculous were freely admit ted by the officers. Such sentences only served, General Glenn insisted to prove that even in the early stages of military-legal proceedings, the ac tion of the courts in no case being final, fairness was the general rule. Judge Gregory, chairman of the com mittee, and General Glenn, engaged in considerable argument which brought out that the officer, speaking both from his military experience and his special training in civil law as a grad uate of the law school of the Univer aity of Minnesota, saw little in com mon between the purposes of civil justice and its militay equivalent. Major 'Charles H. MacDonald, Gen eral Glenn’s divisional judge advocate at Camp Sherman, and before the war an attorney for the federal trade com mission, followed his chief and ex pressed the same views. FAIR DEAL PROMI WHEAT CONSUMERS Price Guaranty Does Not Mean Extortion, Says Barnes. EU R O P E’S NEED S BIG Little Use May Re Made o f Billion- Dollar Fund Provided for F i nancing U S. Crop. New York.— Despite maintenance of the government guaranteed price in the face of an American wheat crop which probably will break all records, domestic consumers will not pay more for the product during the coming C A N N E R Y W IL L S TA R T MAY 1 STATE NEW S IN BRI on Spinach. Yakima, Wash.— R. C. Turvin, local To redeem Lake and Klamath coun manager for the Libby, McNeill & ties, bringing tltem back commercial ly into Oregon, the state highway com Libby cannery, announced this week mission last week decided to co-oper that the season would open May 1. ate to the limit with those counties, and to urge additional co-operation from the government. Roughly, about 400 miles are involved in the plan, 148 miles in Lake; 145 miles in Klamath and 105 miles connecting Lakeview and Klamath Falls, the mileage being about equal between the two counties. For Lake county the state will put up $200,000? the county will bond itself for $200,000, which Is its limit, and the government will be asked to con tribute $400,000. The contemplated road improvements in Klamath will cost an estimate of $861,980. The county will turn over $20,000 now on hand, and bond Itself for $360;000> and the Indian department will give at least $25,000, as the road will go through the reservation. The rest of the money iftcessary will he raised by the state and the government. Not a great deal can be accomplish ed on this Lake-Klamath program this year, for the projects for co-operation must be taken up with the government which, it is understood, is willing to help. . The plan calls for developmept of the 105 miles from Klamath Falls to Lakeview, which will cost $557,674 for the lake end and $234,594 for the Kla math end. There Is 130 miles of road projected from Lakeview to the north county line, which will cost about $557,674, and this road will codnect in Deschutes county and continue on to Bend. From Lakeview south to New Pine creek, connecting with the high way In California, Is 15 miles, to im prove which will cost $38,159. APRIL HOUSEGLEANING REAL FAMILY AFFAIR Libby, McNeill & Libby W ill Begin j Tongue-Active Members Should Be Put to Work, It had been expected to open sooner but the crop of fall-sown spinach was not as successful as expected. The first run is to be entirely of spinach and is expected to total 800 tons, for which growers are to be paid $20 a ton. vThe product Is estimated to reach 800,000 cans. Mr. Turvin reports a strong demand for canned spinach. Thirty men are now at work preparing for the resump tion yof the season’s run. Turvin says about 90 per cent of the stuff canned in the 1918 season ha3 already been shipped. Labor-Saving Devices and Cheerful Co- operation Will Give House New Lease on Life in Homes.
