in Further Conservation of Meat
Hupply and Breeding Htock
In United HI ate.
Strongly advocating the food pre
parednesa movement, and the preser
vatlon and Increasing of other re
sources with a view not only to meet
ing tbe demand brought into being
by the world war, but also In regard
to tbe solution of food and stock
problems which be believes will arise
on the conclusion of the war. Gover
nor Wlthycombe haa written to Pres
ident Wilson urging that a procla
mation be Issued enforcing theae
views.
His letter. In full, follows:
To the President, White House,
Washington, D. C. Sir: As execu
tive of a state which is essentially
agricultural, I naturally feel an es
pecially direct interest and concern
In the problems of the present na
tional situation which directly affect
the country's (ood stuff production.
I am well aware of tbe vital lmr
portance not only of preserving our
agricultural resources, but of increas
ing our productivity In every possible
way, as the safeguarding and best
development of our sources of food
supplies undoubtedly will be an Im
portant factor In satisfactorily solv
ing the economic problems ot the
war. I have noted, therefore, with
keen approval, the action which Is
being taken towards the organized
supervision of the nation'a agricul
tural production and the conservation
ot Ita food supplies.
Htock Problem Important.
In thla connection 1 venture to call
to your attention what appeals to me
as a very important atep which might
properly be taken directly ' by the
Chief Executive, or at least referred
by htm for action to whatever au
thority seema most appropriate.
I refer to the conservation of
breeding atock. In my opinion it
would be extremely advisable to is
sue an organized appeal to the far
mers of the country urging them to
keep tholr female breeding stock,
and to withhold from sale their veal
calves and young marketable ani
mals. I think that such action, es
pecially if It could come In the form
of a President's proclamation, per
haps, would have markedly benefic
ial efect and would at least direct
the attention of the nation to a field
'of common sense conservation which
will. If properly acted upon, mean
countless millions of dollars saved to
the country during the next decade,
and a wise safeguarding and Increas
ing of ita meat production possibil
ities. Demand In Foreseen.
Such conservation 1b especially Im
portant because it will not be the
(ood stuff problems ot our own coun
try' nlono which we must meet dur
ing the coming few years; Europe's
stock ot producing animals hogs,
cows and sheep, as well as horses

all ministerial power, In himself.
All along Russian soldiers knew
Just what was happening. They have
always known who were their real
friends. They anticipated Just what
occurred but they thought it would
not take place until after the return
ot the soldiers from the war.
Abuses precipitated things and
the revolution came Booner than ex
pected. Such leaders of the provislonel
government as Lvotf (premier),
Guckotf (Minister of War), Mllu
koft (Foreign Secretary), Chingar
ett (Duma 'Leader), and others are
known and respected in Russia. They
were the men behind the Zemstov
movement. They wore prominent In
all the people's movements.
More than once they saved Rus
sia. From the start they have been
determined to see a victorious Rus
sia. . ' ,i
I had an opportunity to talkf to
each one of these men when In Rus
sia a few months ago. They all told
me that a separate ponce by Russia
was Impossible.
News ot the successful coup by
which those firm men now control
Russia Indicates that the real nation
now seems to enter the arena.

peace talk in all belligerent countries.
Peace Is asked on Germany's own
terms, although somewhat modified
from those previously outlined.
Germany is seeking to' manoeaver
the Allies Into asking for peace. The
scheme as established by Information
from high sources, is an ambitious
one, world wide in scope.
Positive confirmation that over
tures bare been made from Berlin to
the United States, reported In" United
Press dispatches Thursday, was ob
tained today. In .German official
circles, it was hinted that the United
States would do well to send Colonel

Tbe main intrigue whereby Ger

Teutonic Socialistic leaders are being
allowed to communicate with, the
Socialists In Russia and other of the
