FOOD ARMY URGED
AGRICULTURAL CONFERENCE
REPORT " IS PUBLISHED
$25,000,000 Appropriation and En
rollment of 2,000,000 Boys for
Farming Are Recommendede.
WASHINGTON,. April 12. To further
its campaign for food conservation dur
ing the war. the Agricultural Depart
ment today ordered distribution
throughout the country of the resolu
tions adopted at the St. Louis confer
ence of agricultural experts from S3
states urging enlistment ' of an army
of 2,000.000 boys to aid in increasing
production, and a Federal appropria
tion of J25. 000.000 to meet the extraor
dinary needs 'of agriculture.
Secretary. Houston, who attended the
St. Louis meeting, attaches great im
portance to. the resulting campaign
among - editors of agricultural papers,
professors of agriculture and others
for' Immediate mobilization of food pro
duction and resources.
The resolutions, made public here
tonight for the first time, declare that
"the situation which now confronts our
country is a' great emergency the
greatest perhaps in ' its history."
"Upon . the farmer," they continue,
"rests in large measure the final re
sponsibility of winning the war in
which we are now Involved.
"Because of the world shortage of
food it ' Is scarcely possible that the
production of staple crops by the
farmers of the United States can be
too great this year. There Is every
reason to believe that a generous price
will be paid for the harvest of their
fields. State governments can , and
should co-operate to the fullest de
gree. .
"More than 2,000,000 boys between
the ages of 15 and 19 years in the
cities and towns constitute the most
important labor resource available for
this emergency," It is declared.
."The plan for military enlistment
should be broadened also to include in
the National service those incapacitat
ed for active military duty but able
to render the Government equally in
dispensable, service . In ' the production
of food, supplies and munitions.

OREGON HAS NEW
TROOP OF CAVALRY
75 Men Are Recruited
in Six Hours.
CHARLES GJEDSTED CAPTAIN
Navy Has Another Big Day,
With 72 Enlistments.
REGULAR ARMY GETS 60
Two More Mounted Organizations
Slay Be Formed Here to Com
plete Full Squadron Troop
A to Furnish Officers.
A whole new cavalry troop, 75 men
strong, was, recruited in Portland for
the Oregon National Guard yesterday,
under authority from the War Depart
ment, in the short ijpace of six hours.
The new organization has already
been designated by Adjutant-General
George A. White as Troop B, First Ore
gon Cavalry.
General White has announced the
promotion of, Charles GJedsted, second
lieutenant of .Troop A, to be captain of
the new Troop B.
Troop A assembled at the Armory
last night for its first drill. With Cap
tain GJedsted in command they. went
through setting exercises and were in
structed In the school of the soldier.
The recruiting of Troop B was au
thorized several days ago in a telegram
received by General White from the
War Department. 1 There is strong rea
son to believe that the formation of a
Troop C and of a Troop D. making a
full cavalry squadron, will follow. Gen
eral White, however, declined to com
ment on this report.
Regnlars Get Many Men..
The recruiting of Troop B did not
interfere at all with recruiting for the
regular Army and Navy.
Quite to the contrary, etlll another
high mark in enlistments for the Navy
was set by Lieutenant-Commander
John H, Blackburn. U. S. N., officer
in charge of . the recruiting station in
Portland, when his office enlisted 72
men as the day's, work. The day be
fore they enlisted 63, and 56 was the
record for the day before that.
Last week the Portland Navy recruit
ing station enlisted 157 men to only 68
In Seattle. This caused Seattle to do
some hard work, and the following
hopeful telegram was received, yester
day from the office there:
"We enlisted 184 this week. What
did you do?"
The Navy recruiting week .ends on
Thursday. The Portland station prompt
ly telegraphed" back that it had en
listed 324 for the week. So far as
known here, this is a .Navy recruiting
record for the whole country.

THE CHOICE:
CHICAGO. April 12. (Special.) The
following Is , Rudyard Kipling's
poem on -the entry of the United States
into the world war:
BT. RUDYARD KIPLING.
(The American' Spirit Speaks.)
To the Judge of rfght and wrong.
With whom fulfillment lies.
Our purpose and our power belong.
Our-faith and sacrifice.
Let Freedom's Land rejoice.
Our ancient bonds are riven; '
Once more to us the eternal choice
Of good or ill is given. . ,
Not at a little cost.
Hardly by prayer or tears.
Shall we recover the road we lost
In the drugged and doubting years.
But after the fires and the wrath.
But after searching and pain, .
His mercy opens us a path
To' live with ourselves again.
In the gates of death rejoice, ' -
We see and hold the good
Bear witness, earth, we have made our
choice ' .
For freedom's brotherhood.
Then praise the Lord most high.
Whose strength hath saved us whole,
Who bade us choose that the flesh
should die '
And not the living soul. -(Copyright.

BRITISH HEADQUARTERS IN
FRANCE, via London. April 12. The
amazing April storm, which began al
most at the exact honr set for the Brit
ish attack against the Germans Mon
day morning, continues and the fight
ing conditions have been made extreme
ly difficult. The storm is accompanied
by snow, rain and sleet and a gale that
has seldom fallen below a. velocity of
40 miles an hour. There have been oc
casional bits of sunshine, but these
lasted less' than half an hour. The
night temperatures still are well below
freezing. -
Notwithstanding these circumstances,
the British attack widened today by
a blow north of Vlmy ridge, the latter
having been firmly held and ' consoli
dated by the Canadians against a bitter
German fire. The troops which struck
north of Vlmy today .penetrated to a
point a few hundred yards northwest
of Glvenchy. -
Lines Are Straightened.
On the remainder of the front the
work consisted largely of straightening
certain elements In the line by annihi
lating several "pockets" where the Ger
mans had held out. The British also
smashed to bits a strong German coun
ter-attack ' against Monchy-La-Preux,
the German losses being among the
heaviest they have suffered during the
new offensive.. The lighting about
Monchy has been k very heavy Since
Tuesday,' the Germans having been or
dered to prevent the-British- advance
reaching that high point at all hazards.
It was not until large numbers of Brit
ish field batteries had been brought
into play; that., the Germans were defi
nitely beaten off.
-The British attack and the German
defense converged at Monchy, and it
was a 'wonderful' sight, to watch this
fighting from a nearby hill yesterday
and realize that for the moment this
was the focal point of the entire world
war. , ,

VIENNA AND SOFIA 1
ARE SEEKING PEACE
ATTEMPT MADE TO APPROACH
ENTENTE "DIPLOMATS.
Soundings by Austria Are Inde
pendent of Germany and May
Force Berlin to Moderate.
WASHINGTON. April 13. Austrian
and Bulgarian representatives are en
deavoring to approach entente diplo
mats in Switzerland on the subject of
peace.
Press dispatches today reporting Bul
garian efforts in this, line developed
that it is known here, not only that
Bulgaria has taken soundings, but also
that there has been similar action In
the name of Austria-Hungary. Whether
the two countries are working sepa
rately or together is not known, nor
has any reference been made to the
attitude of Germany or Turkey.
Officials here see in the Austrian and
Bulgarian action merely an expression
of weariness with the war and anxiety
to bring it to an end without, however.
Involving any indication of desperation
on their part which would make them
propose terms acceptable to the en
tente. The entente diplomats have not
accepted the suggestions made to them
for private conversations, but have in'
dtcated that they stand on the general
principles that the entente nations will
not enter a peace conference until their
enemies have made public their terms.
Independent soundings by Austria
and Bulgaria, even if entirely tentative,
have attracted -Interest here, however,
as showing the dissatisfaction of those
two governments with the course of the
war and their apparent anxiety to ne
gotiate directly, and not through the
medium of Germany. As both these
countries are reported to be more eager
for peace than their more powerful ally,
a degree of hope is felt that their ex
igencies may force Germany to a more
moderate stand.

Premier Is Guest of
American Club.
STIRRING PRAISE IS VOICED
American Entry in War Held
to Give Stamp of Liberty.
DEBT TO FRANCE REPAID
Subjects of United States Hosts
to Greatest Xumber of Distin
guished Men Ever Grouped
at London Banquet.
LONDON, , April 12. As the first
British Prime Minister to salute the
American Nation as a comrade in arms,
David Lloyd George. England's great
democratic leader, speaking before a
notable assembly brought together by
the' American ' Luncheon Club today,
aroused intense enthusiasm by his
scathing denunciation of Prussia and
his warm welcome of America as an
ally in the war.
The advent of the United States into
the war. he said, gives the final stamp
to the character of the conflict as a
struggle against military autocracy
throughout the world..
It was a stirring day, for the taking
up of arms by America was celebrated
by two notable assemblages, one under
the auspices of the American Luncheon
Club and the other at a dinner by the
Pilgrims" Club in honor of the-American
Ambassador. Walter Hines Page.
Viscount Bryce, ex-Ambassador at
Washington, presided at the dinner to
Mr. Page and delivered an eloquent ora
tion. V Responsive Chords St rue It.
Premier Lloyd George, always force
ful and epigrammatic, was never in
finer - form, and his ringing --words
struck a responsive chord among those
who ' bad met to cheer. There were
toasts to the President-of the United
States and twV King; of England, and
a wonderful display of rejoicing over
the sealing Of the bond of friendship
between the United States and England
and Prance and the othe r allies in. the
acceptance by America of the gage of
battle.
, "The United States of America, of a
notable tradition, never broken, never
have engaged in a war except for lib
erty," declared the Premier. ' "That it
has made up its mind finally makes it
abundantly clear to tho world that this
is a great fight for human liberty."
Prussian Democracy Forecast. .
Again, he said: "Prussia is not a de
mocracy. The Kaiser promises that it
will be a democracy after the war. I
think ho is right."
A remarkable feature of the Pre
mier's speech was his warning , to the
United States to avoid the blunders
committed by the British. The grim
humor of the British was well Illustrat
ed by Mr. Lloyd George when, in voic
ing this warning, he said:
"We . are a slow people slow and ,
blundering but we get there. We have
made, as we generally do, every blun
der. May I respectfully suggest that it
is worth a good deal to study our
blunders so as to begin where we are
now, not. where we were three years
ago?"
Ship Plana Pleasing.
The arrangements already under way
for the building of ships by the United
States appealed strongly to the Pre
mier, who declared that the road to vic
tory, the guarantee of victory, the ab
solute assurance of victory, was to be
found in the one word,"shlps." and al
ways ships. He expressed the belief
that the Germans and their military ad
visers were beginning to realize that
this was another of their miscalcula
tions, which would lead them to disas
ter and ruin- Of America's part in the
war the Premier said:
. "It was a bad day for the military
autocracy in Prussia when it chal
lenged the great republic of the West.
We know America and also we know
that now she has said it she will do It.
"She will wage a strong and successful
war. and there is something more im
portant, she will insure a beneficent
peace."
Distinguished Men Present.
Probably no event in England in the
present generation unofficially brought
together more men of great prominence
than this luncheon- The Pilgrims' din
ner had more of a military air. with
large patches of khaki and navy blue
at the tables.
Among those present at the lunobjeon
were the Canadian Premier, Sir Robert
Ik Borden; General Sir William R. Rob
ertson, chief of the imperial staff: Ad
miral Lord Beresford, the archbishop of
Canterbury, Chief Justice Reading, Sir
