OF GREAT- VALUE
: WASHINGTON", Dec. 7. It has
loon amply demonstrated. Secretary
or . 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."

riouncoment has been made . that the

a- series of three loans with the Chl-

when they opened the imperial aivhives of Petrograd,
were-an oasea upon territorial aggrandizement, and it
was not until the Russian revolution,' the entrance of the
United States and the adoption of President AVilsoh's
fourteen points that the war really became a war for de
mocracy. ; .''.; ' ,- . '".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

-. 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.
The nation expanded as never before, the gross volume 'f
its business doubled in a decade. Railroad building open
ed up the vast unsettled regions of the West. Every line
of industry reflected the prosperity and growth of the
nation, ;.. -,; . -, .. : - - --.
The field that the west in the 60 's and 70's offered for
American genius and 'entei-prise,-the world of today of
fers. A great part of the -world's natural resources still
he untouched beyond the present industrial frontiers, but
they will not long remain so. A still greater railroad
building is dawning, railroads through the heart of Af
rica, through Australia, though South America, through
China, Siberia and Russia-Wind America with her increas
ed capital equipment, her sizable merchant marine is in
remarkably favorable situation to participate in the de
velopment of the world.-' ' .;
In the United States itself, a Vast' domain is to be re
claimed and made available for agriculture, offering dis
charged soldiers silimlar opportunity to acquire a' home
that the unsettled west offered-after the civil war. Now
and improved methods assure an intensive growth in the
development of production at home, with a corresponding
increase m the newly opened areas of the world, and in
the devastated regions ,. of Eu

OF TREATMENT OF
LONDON', Wednesday. Doe.
Further reports wore Issued tonight
by the government committee) Inves
tigating treatment of Mritlsh prison
era of war. I.lko previous reports It
is a long, shocking record.
Large numbers of prisoners no
longur (It to work behind the Her
man linen, wero sent to lUdlnhorg,
Kant PrimHln, or Trelou, In Prussian
Poland. A wltntwH. describing; the
arrival of about 3 no of these prison
ers nt ltollsborg early in Ot'lober,
says they wero mostly iilreh-lier casus
and were taken to tlia liosplUil hut
many of those sunt to tho camp were
o weak thoy could hardly walk. Ho
says that youths of twenty your
looked like men forty years old.
At Arnlou, a hospital for prisoners
disabled while working on the wes
tern frt.it, conditions wero even
worse. The. place was supposed to
accommodate 400 but there wero
about a thouKuud there.
At the Deynre hospital ndlho ninny
supplies wero short, prlsuners receiv
ed careful treatment and adouuatc
food. Including wine and eggs when
necessary.
Tho report says the conclusion was
reachcil that events In the camp at
tached to the Tenth Army corps point
to a deliberate policy of vlndlrllvo
