According to the British claim, the attacks are progressing, but a Tur kish communication tonight declares that although the allies landed forces at four points, these forces are be ing beaten back to the coast, whtlo Moslems in the French ranks, aro de serting and.casting their lot with their co-rellgio: Ists. Equally cen trad ic tor y are. the offi cial statements concerning the fight ing in the vicinity of Ypres.

Useras on western side of the Yser canal, has been the bone of fierce con tention, changing bands four times iu the course of the present fight, ?ts importance, ls due to the fact that its possession would give the Ger mans an important held on that side of the canal and would compel the allies to readjust this line. ' That fighting along tho Yser ts - causing anxiety In England is Indicat ed by the demand of the presa this morning that England exped?ate the sending of a new army to France. A strong German offensive ls also pader way at St. M thiel. Thus two points where the German offensive ceased before Christmas-on the Yser and St. Miaiei-has been chosen for a resumption of activity la the spring. It remains to be seen, however, wheth er these points hav; be*n selected as feints. ? watte the mala onslaught is made elsewhere. The eastern battle front is receiv ing scant attention.

He declared that the farm ers refuse to use business- Judgment or meet the demitnd with a supply ot the needed crops. He urged protec tion through thc government of the state agencies ' of agriculture in the South by a warehouse system similar to South Carolina. * The farmer is the lowest paid busi ness man in the world and his crying need is efficient organization on the farm to encourage him to produce the best and to produce something all the time, according to Charles Dillon; of Topka, Kansas, editor of agricultural papers, who addressed thc Southern Commercial Congress herc. Mr. Dillon suggested that because .of differences in effective organisation a farmer in Denmark gets 8.*> cents out of every dollar the consumer paya for his produce, while the American farmer gets but 4? cents. The remedy, he said, was to modify the system of (arming so as to pro duco more livestock and relatively less hay, grain and cotton for the market, and to finish and standardize the products on tho farm. Instead of leaving the grading and refining of products to any army of people in tho cities. Dr. J. D.

Year after year, ho declared, edu cators which the assent of parents, force children to go to school aud "acquire arithmetic and adenoids, his tory and hookworm, alegebra and as tigmatism, cube root and consumption, Caesar and spinal curvature." The speaker said manual training could be started wl'h "a boy, a broom haade and a Huife" and that popular cooperation with the demonstration and extension work now In the hands of the agricultural colleges ?would make farming communities "blossom like the rose." . t He urged that ?every city, town and village baile school systems by which young and old. men and* women, might not only learn to read, write and figure bet to Improve and perfect themselves In whatever line of work they choose for a living.
