Agriculture Houston says In his annual report, that the most effec tive means of getting Information to f armors and their families and of securing application of the best scientific and practical processes is turn the ftirect touch of well-trained men and women. . .' v -! .- tho war-time growth of the agri cultural extension service was made possible by emergency appropriations ,nd' was brought about thru active - steps by the department In coopera tion with the state colleges. In April, "lutv, when this nation entered the . war, 2149 men and women were em ployed In county, home-demonstration, and boys' and girls' club work distributed as follows: County agent "work,. 1461;"- home-demonstration worky 645; boys' and girls' club 'work, 143. In November of this year .the -number had Increased to 5218, of which 1513 belong to the regular staff and 3705 to the emergency force. There were 2732 in the coun ty agent service, 1T24 in the home demonstration work, and 762 in the boys' and girls' club activities. This does not Include the large number of specialists assigned by the depart ment and the colleges to aid the ex tension workers in the field and to supplement their efforts." ' "It would be almost easier to tell what these men and women did not do than to indicate the variety and oxtont of their operations," says the becretary. "They have not only ac tively 'labored to further , the plans for increased economical production along all lines and carried to the rural population the latest and best Information bearing on agriculture, but also to secure the conservation of foods and feeds oh the farm; and, in addition, many of them have aided In ' the task of promoting the better util ization of food products in the cities. They constitute the only federal ma chinery in intimate touch with the millions of people In the farming dis tricts. They have, therefore, ,been able to render great service to other branches of the government, such as the treasury in its Liberty loan cam paigns, the Rod Cross, the Young Men's Christian association, and oth er organizations in their war activ ities,-and the food administration in Its special tasks." TO ,. COMBAT IMPERIALISM, AUTHORITY it-,: JfPS MAKE THREE .10 '.V TOKIO, , Deo.' . 7. Official an riouncoment has been made . that the Japanese government has arranged a- series of three loans with the Chl- nose government. The first of these Is to bo applied td lhe ednstruetion of four railways in Manchuria. and 'Mongolia, about 1000 miles of rail way in all. Thd cost Is, estimated at .about $75,000000, the Initial loan to be $10,000,000." ' ? The second loan Is for building railways in the Shantung province, t0 cost 3',Q0P,00tLon which a loan of. $10, iiuO.r'oo Is advanced. '.".

'".vv, ..' VN -The terms of the armistices made with Turkev. Bui garia,' Austria and Germany, fulfill as far as present pos session is concerned, the terms of these secret treaties and lead to a suspicion that they have never been abrogated, and that each of the entente nations is bent upon fulfilling its old imperialistic aims, winch when defeat threatened, they were willing to abandon. The case of Italy can be cited, for the clauses in the Austrian armistice relating to the occupation of Austrian territory follow word for word the secret treaty: which Italy signed before entering the war, demanding1 Austrian territory surrounding the Adriatic as the price tvf her par ticipation in tiic eoimiet. t . ;: ... British imperialists are loudlv acclaiming the-fSeter- mination of Great Britain to retain her supremacv bii.the sea, while advocating the demobilization of armics pn' thc land. In other words, the British are willing to end the rule of militarism on the laud but not her own militarism on the sea. It is declared that the British fleet ukirted victory, not only against the kaiser,, but against Napoleon and previously against Phillip of Spain, and has thus al ways safeguarded democracy against militarv domination of the world and it is a fact that in peace times? British control oi tne seas nas always meant treeclom of -the sea's tor. all, even freedom of trade for aliens in British ports without restrictions. , , - ; While the British imperialists favor a lcaoiies of wn- tions witn a joint army to enforce league decisions, rhev evidently do not favor a joint naw to enforce similar Ap- cisions, but seek to retain British'naval nowcr shfficier.'t to set at naugut any sucn decisions adveree to British in terests. : .. . . It is apparent that the president has othev views, tlirm those of the British imoerialists unou freedom of tliP sons and that he will make a determined effort to combat mili tarism upon both land and sea and oppose the .carrying vui vl me secret treaties ior territorial aggrandizement pjov.Ai upuu tuc.untnuiistic aiuuuions oi tne amed na tion in so far as they conflict with the principle of self ueierimiiauoiis oi people, uut there is a prospect that tcuuo arc buickcu against mm. -. ERA OF PROSPERITY PROBABLE. IJP "WE compare, conditions existing at the close of the A civil war, with those existing today, it is apparent that me uauun is in raucii oetter condition for a prolonged era of prosperity than it was after the collapse of the cou- xeueracy. . '' ; Following the civil war, a period of prolonged indus trial depression was predicted. Hundreds of thousands oi soiaiers nad to do reabsorbed by industry, the southern half of the republic lay in ruins, its economic and social system disrupted, its industries destroyed, its territory ravished. The finances of the nation were a mass of de preciated irredeemable notes and, for those davs, a large public debt. . . ' , . ., . Instead of industrial prostration, however,' there . fol lowed an era of remarkable development and prosperity.
