Program Outlined
We are now in a period oI low
prices. The purchasing power of the
consuming public is low. Money
(cash) is scarce and getting out of
circulation. A dollar is worth more
now than it was a short tmie ago.
It is necessary that our farmers
produce those things that the public
demands most. In period* of depression
people will wear old clothes
a long time?but they make a desperate
effort to eat three times a
day. About 13,000,000 mouths demand
food three times each day in
America. They can't eat cotton but
they can eat pork^beef, sheep, poultry,
vegetables, potatoes; corn, mo*
lapses.
It is important that we look out
,for ourseVves?we can't eat cotton
? but we can eat those things listed
above.
We have a well-developed market
for hogs? we will ship in September
and March of each year. (Breed ?ow?
accordingly.)
Now is a good time to keep out
of debt, spend very sparingly, save
some money?buy less.
Make plenty of feed for all of
your livestock and increase the livestock.
Use more livestock and legumes to
increase soil fertility and your income.
n Plant more corn if possible. Attend
the Farm Meeting at the 4-H
<^ub Oamp near Shamokin Friday,
June 19th, 5:30 p. m.
Remember that our farm folks are
fortunate in being situated ho as to ]
produce food and feed. Let's take
advantage of thfs opportunity and
begin to make a good living.
Plant some extra corn, feed a few
more hogs and get a hog check next
September.
Yours for making a good living at
home, is the wish of Henry I). Green,
the county agent.

CHAPTER XVIII
Upon the invitation of General retain
I went to the French front to be
present at their second offensive since
General Nlvelle'a failure in April, arriving
by motor at tiie heaihjuartera
of General d'Ksperey, commander of
the group of armies of the north, on
the evening of October 22, 1017.
The plana for tlie uttack were explained
to us, and from the extreme
care taken in working out the detull*
and from their accurute knowledge
of the enemy'a forcea and hi* poaltlon,
there seemed to be little doubt of succe*a,
Moon after their victory near Verdun
In August the French had begun
to prepare for this offensive. In which
they could not well afford to full.
The advance was made by eight divisions
of the Mtxth army on a front
of only seven and a half miles axtendlog
along the Aiane, with the object
of gaining a wore advantageous position
for tha winter and also still
further building up French morale.
Extended Artillery Fire.
General Malatre, the army commander,
gave the operation bla peraoual
attention, prescribing an artillery
preparation covering six days, during
which the expenditure of ammunition
was even greater than In the offensive
of August 20. The long period of ar-1
tlllery Are was considered necessary,
as the Germans were strongly fortlAed
along the chalky bluffs of the Alsue,
where numerous caverns afforded
cover for lurge garrisons held near
the front.
The assaulting lines of infantry, accompanied
by numerous tanks, succeeded
without difficulty In reaching
the limited objectives.- Fort Malmulson.
the key point,--was reduced to
a heap of rubbish by the very heavy ,
artillery tire concentrated upon it. The
capture of'this dominant position by
the French otiused the Immediute with- i
drawn 1 of the Germans on the right
and left, nod during the succeeding
fortnight they retired behind the i
Ailette.
Victory Is Off sat.
. This achievement of the French in
capturing positions against which the
April offensive by Nlrelle dashed Itself
to pieces had a very stimulating
effect upon their morale, but it would
have been more lasting had it not been |
followed so soon by the serious de j
feat of the Itulinns at Cnporetto Oc- I
tot?er 24.
After extending thanks to our host
we left for Compiegne, literally covered
with mud, stopping lliere to congratulate
General I'etnln on the success
of the day. While at Compiegne
we dropped In at the dispensary where
some American women under .Miss
J<'.lsle Do Wolfe (who afterward became
Lady Mendl) maintained a clinic
f<?r badly burned gas cases. We also
made a brief call at the hospital near
hy to see Colonel Hunau-Variia of
mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmrn
Hon of new dock* lit Baaaeua, \'i lulled
below, where deep water would permit
veasel* to couie alongside. Al
though considerable quantities pf tint
teriui had heeu seut over, this new
construction wua delayed principalis
becauae of the lack of piling which the
eugiueera had planned to have brought
from the i'aciiic count.
An Incident hap|>ened In connection
with the ahlpmentu of piliug front
houie tltat would have been umuolug
if it hud not been so serious. One
ship that readied Bordeaux wus supposed
to be loaded vritb especially long
piling, but upou inspection the engineers
found it much shorter than prescribed
Upon Inquiry It was learned
that to get the piles in between bulkheads
the supercargo had sawed the
i ends off. While speaking of forest
product* another example of inefllelancy
that occurred a little later
might be mentioned.
On* of the vessel* from home was
loaded by the quartermaster'* department
with shavings for the cold itorage
plant instead of steel billet* for
the manufacture of guns when tons of
aawdust and shavings could have been
obtained from the logging district* in
France.
Trouble With Rueeians.
Continuing the Inspection, we went
on Sunday to Comau, about forty
miles from Bordeaux, thinking It
might possibly # be available for our
use later on. It was then occupied
by a brigade of disaffected Russians,
who, like most of their fellows, hail
defied their officers and refused to
participate further In the war. After
being withdrawn from the line they
had given the French so much trouble,
even to committing depredations on
the people, that they had to be sent
out of the zone of the armies to this
rather remote cainp, where they were
held practically as prisoners.
There was no transportation to carry
them back to Russia, and ua they
had been allowed to keep their arms
it was difficult to enforce discipline
among them. 1 spoke to two colonels
and criticized the lack of sanitation,
but It was evident that they ware unable
to compel the men to work, even
to the extent of cleaning out stables,
latrlnea or drains, and the conditions
may be better Imagined than described.
The men ware a heavy, stupid-looking
lot, who, In their new estate,
apparently did not care how bgd
things were so long as the French
continued to feed and clothe them.
Prograsa I* Noted.
Gievres, which lies 100 miles directly
south of l'arls, became the site of
our principal supply depot in France
Under Col. C. .1. Synimonds' able and
energetic direction construction to cover
an area of .12 square miles was going
forward with all possible speed.
Colonel Symmonds was gradually putting
order and system Into the place.

CHAPTM XIX
Breakfasting wllli tue In Paris November
4, 11)17. the British prim* uloIgjgy,
Mr, I.I07(V George, referred to
Hie Italian defeat at Capo ret to as being
a moat serious disaster, and pointed
out that sending Hrltlsh and French
divisions t# Italy had materially weakened
the lines la France. Mr. Lloyd
George also spoke at some length on
Hie luck of concerted action among the
allied armies.
I agreed with lilm and added that
In my opinion there never had been
real co-operation on the western front
between the British and French, that
when one was attacking the other was
usually standing still, and that the
Hermans were thus reft free to vencentrate
their reserves against the threatened
point. *
We were facing u grave crisis next
year, if not sooner, suld Mr, Lloyd
George, und no one knew how it was
to he met. The enemy might attack
each one separately, with the sains
results as In the case of Italy, lie
then asked what I thought of creating
a supreme war council.
Having in wind councils Called to
decide upon military operations In the
field, I told him that the advice of war
councils whs not usually of any great
value and that the proposition did not
appeal to me. I said that authority
should be vested somewher# to eo-ordtnate
the operatlona on the western
front, and suggested the possibility of
having a supreme commander.
Lloyd Qsorgo Favors Council.
Mr. Lloyd George replied, In effect,
that It was unlikely that th,t allies
would agree upon any one. as the
French would object to any but a
Frenchman and the British might sot
like thgt He thought the council
would be useful for the purpose primarily
of bringing the heads of the
allied governments together at Intervals
to determine general policies.
1 admitted that afactr an organization
might serve to unite the allies In
common purpose, but that the conduct
of operations by the combined armies
should be under military direction. I
got the distinct impression that while
he was seeking to secure greuter unity
of action, he also- sought some moans
of controlling the activities of the
British army. During previous months
that army had been engaged in almost
continuous offensive operations, practically
single-banded, with very heavy
losses and few compensating advantages.
_ Mr. Lloyd George went on to say that
there was to be a meeting of the prime
TTjJnluforu at Ilnnollft Ifnln ? r, A tU a t
he hoped they might reach some agreement
that would result in a council
such as he had in mind. He thought
that the United States ought to be represented
at this meeting and ainggested
that 1 should attend. As the purPMs
<*f a council seemed to be more
foe political co-ordination than for
PUTOly military control, 1 told him that
i| seemed beet for me not to participate
without some intimation from my
government to do so.
la the afternoon, at M. Palnleve's
request, I called on hiin, and he also
told me of the proposal to form a supreme
war council and wanted me to
ge to the conference in Italy. I gave
him the same reply that I had given
Mr. Lloyd George.
Shortly thereafter the llapallo meeting
was held, resulting in an agreement
among the prime ministers of
the governments participating, Great
Britain, France ami Italy.
Approved by Wilson.
The creation <?f the council did not
meet with universal approval, the
commanders of the British and French
armies and high officials in civil
circles being opposed to it. Military
commanders were afraid it would result
In undue interference with the
conduct of operations and in derision
it was often referred to us the soviet.
The action of the three Governments
at Itupallo was approved by
President Wilson November 17 and
that fact appeared in the press a day
or so later.
The President * action strengthened
the hands of those who favored the
council and probaniy became the influence
that'saved it.
The fact is that if the French and
British army commanders, In a friendly
spirit of co-operation, had made a
Joint study of the military problem of
the western front a-, a whole and then
; . had seriously undertaken to pull togethei,
as though under one control,
the supreme war council would never
have been born.
-The snprt-tm- wr council made n
favorable start and gave the impression
that a wise and conservative exercise
of its really unlimited powers
would characterize its actions, it refrained
from interfering directly with
military commanders and operations
and confined itself largely to questions
, of policy, such as the eo-ordlnntiou ?,f
allied resources and the conservation
and distribution of allied strength.
However, as time went on, j,he supreme
war council assumed greater
and greater authority over militarv
questions.

In ttu> conversation the British

Mr. Wilson thinks a great deal more
of his ideas of people governing them
solves, of a friendly working arrangement
among all the great powers after
the war, than he does of territorials
or specific things going to this or that
country. What he wants Is to smash
the German military power and have
