The contest will be under the direction of the secretary of the navy, or in case ho cannot attend the shoot, Wm. C. | Harllee, of the United States Marine Corps, will be the executive officer of the contest. Adjutant General W. W. Moore is a member of the national club. The exact date of the national shoot, which is set for August, will be announced at an early t date. Expenses All Paid. The expenses of the State teams to this national contest are paid by the federal government. Adjutant General Moore is very anxious for a strong team to represent this State, and he is urging that county clubs be organized, from which will be selected the best shots in the State to bo sent to the New Jersey contest. In addition to the State team, there may also be a team from the National Guard, or from the resei-ve is militia, if in time, and a team too^ from the Citadel, or else from Clem !' son College, thus allowing the > Stc'e's military schools to be reprerr ntod. * 1 < In speaking of the plans for pro- . moting rifle clubs, Adjutant General j Moore stated that he believed such i L 11 1 1 ' uigiinizawon.s wouki uo niucn 10- < words promoting one of the best ! forms of sport, and would also give men a certain amount of military training. | illj ' lin''1' N^Ifl I28!

Put the drying of vegetables had r.< ver been generally practiced on a ve y large scale and, for a long v.h.ile, even small-scale drying had been practically abondoned. Proper methods in preparing the vegetables v ere not known, and the drying pro- j cess itself was something of a mys- ^ t< 1 y. Suitable manufacturing plants and equipment were hardly to be found at all. The soldiers had never eaten dried vegetables, and army cooks knew next to nothing about how to prepare them. There were difficulties?but they were overcome. Research by expevts of the United States Department of Agriculture and the Sanitary Corps of the Army resulted in standardizing methods of preparation, drying, and packing. It was ascertained that many vegetables could he dried in such way that they would retain their characteristic fla\or and quality, and that the process rendered them non perishable. Millions of pounds of dehydrated vegetables were sent to the armies overseas. i Saves the Surplus.

Some of the essen-j tials are: Sound, fresh materials rig ! idly inspected and graded, scrupulous ; care in every detail of paring, trim- i n ing, steaming, and other preparatory processes, and intelligent oversight of the drying process itself. Those details attended to, it is possible to use successfully any one ?>f several types of drying apparatus, though it must be one in winch it is easy to obtain steady, uniform air currents over every part of the drying material, while complete control of the temperatures is retained. The [drier must he of the unit type, each unit capable of operation independently of the others. This is neces- j , snry in order that the plane may be operated at part capacity, as will of- j l< n be necessary, without the ex-, pense of keeping the entire plant going. The drier must be comparatively inexpensive, as dehydrated vegetables must win their way into popular favor not only by excellent quality but by low cost. Tunnel Dryer Relieved Best.

FORMER EMPEROR TO FAOE ACCUSERS Paris.?The responsibility of the German emperor for the war and the means of bringing him to trial bv one of the allied governments, probably Belgium, have been definitely determined upon by the council of four. This follows the definite decision on the terms of reparation for war damages, whereby $5,000,(100 p.tu t bo paid within the next two years, and an interallied commission assess the remaining damage for a period of 30 years, beginning May 1, J 921. Thus two of the great obstacles which stood in the path of the rapid attainment of peace have been r. moved within the last 24 hours, and the period of extreme tension over the inaction and the failure to secure tangible results is succeeded by revived confidence over the great advance made towards a permanent settlement. How far these results yrc due to the intimations conveyed to the summoning to France of the United States transport George Washington by President Wilson is only conjectural, but it is at least n coincidence that the main difficulties began, to dissolve from the time that this decision became known. The exact nature of these difficulties arc not disclosed. Friends of the president maintain that they v ere largely of a minor character, not involving large principles, though the president's adherence to his "14 points" as tho rigid limita- | tu n of the scope of action appears to j have run all through the delibera- | tions during the tense period of the last few days. While the tension has been greatly ITlilK'f'il it W lii?t f>??tivnl\f mmrtw. 1 Cil. as much depends on the continun- ! tion of progress with respect to the remaining obstacles, notably th?4 Sarre Valley, the Rhine frontier, the Adriatic issue and a number of lessor issues which are still short of final agreement. Tim agreement on responsibilities for the war is understood to have been a compromise between divided reports presented by the commission, of which Secretary Lansing is chairman. There was a practical agreement on the general respon.dtviity of the German emperor for bringing on the war, but division e.cleurred on whether it was feasible to i bring hini to justice before an international tribunal. The French and I?i itish view favored a tribunal, but. the American j v.ew, it is understood, favored moral indictment without recourse to pros ecution, owing to I ho lack of an international law as a basis for tri d before an international court. 1 Belgium, on which the war fell first and heaviest, is reported to have taken a view much similar t-that of the United States, while Japan and Italv wore nartinllv in nc cord with the American view. It was owing* to these diverged Viewpoints that the council devi ed a now plan, whorehy one of the al lied nations, probably Ilelgium, would initiate persecution against the foimer emperor and others responsible for the breach of treat!o , the invasion of territory and the deist 1 action directed against this country and leading to a more general spread of the war. The exact nature of the agreement is not disclosed, lot the foregoing is believed to eov or the main lines. In any given district, a dehydration plant will serve as a safety valve for the fresh vegetable market. Its output will increase or decrease with the rise or fall of prices of l res h materials. Occasionally, because o*' crop shortage or high prices, ii may bo necessary to suspend entirely for a eason. Such possibilities render large investment in plant illadvised. The Department of Agriculture belivees that the exacting con ditions arc more nearly met by the tunnel type of drier than by any other thus far investigated. Any district which is engaged in general vegetable growing and which regularly produces more of each of its leading crops than the accessible mvnkotK ran absorb at crood prices should look into the possibil| ities of drying its surplus as a means ,of extending the market and stabilixI inft the industry. Thus far it can not be said that any stable market for dehydrated vegetables has been established in this country. Wholesale and retail dealers are waiting to learn more about them, but a few large firms are handling them. A good deal of "selling work" is still necessary, and any group of growers should investigate the possibilities for an assured market before estbalbishing a plant. 1 MCT TOM SAYS KAISER COULD HAVE HELD THRONE Had Enough Loyal Troops to Have Crushed the Revolution ARMY CHIEFS WERE DIVIDED IN VIEWS Hmdenburg Would Not Tako Responsibility for Civil War. Berlin.?While admitting there was a difference of opinion among German generals as to the practicability of fighting to maintain the imperial regime in November, Count Schulenburg, commander of a guards regiment. maintains in an article on the abdication of Ehnperor William, published in the Froihoit, that there were enough loyal troops to have marched 011 Aux-La-Chapollc and Cologne an 1 put down the revolution. The count says that Field Marshal Hindenburg ami General Crooner, Prussian wai minister, would not assume the responsibility for such a move, however. arguing that things had gone too far ami that only the abdication of former Emperor William could s; \ e the situation. The emprror, he says, was emphatic in declaring ho diil not desire a civil war and that he would not call upon the army to cn| gage in such conflict. I Internal conditions becoming worse, William at length agreed to Count Schulenberg's advice to abdicate as emperor but not as lung of Prussia. Field Marhal Hindcnbuig indorsed this course but in the opinion of Cum. Crooner it was too late, although it might have saved the situation two weeks earlier. Count Sehulcnberg says that William's flight to Holland was duo to pressure brought to hear on him by Field Marshal Von Hindenburg and Ccnoral Crooner. i Wrong, Says Hindenburg. Copenhagen.?A statement by Field Marshal Von Hindenburg on the article written by Count Sclni- .,/ lenlrurg, circulated by the semi-official Wolff Bureau of Berlin, says that the article has "one sided tendoncies and is not objectively correct." "It contains material errors and inaccuracies regarding the views and utterances of the persons concerned," I the stater.v nl adds, "and nrove< thni Si.hulonberg was not adequately int' viiicd on the real situation." The field marshal disclaims any intention of engaging* in a newspaper < r.ti'ovrjsy :is the event has been recorded officially in the reports of the sememe army command. OMrSARMT BELOW THE LIMIT Paris.?The proposed limitation of Clerman armament has at present for the German.^, largely an academic inU rest, as the dependable forces which the State and private enterprises have been able to raise by an incessant advertising; campaign and oilers of good pay and bonuses to volunteers do not reach the lowest figures mentioned in reports as to ; the size of the army to be allowed j Germany by the peace conference, acta i ding to the latent advices from German sources. The Socialists, hi addition, retain their old objections to militarism and are not enthusiastic ahout even the proposed popular militia on the Swiss model. An exception to the general Socialist attitude, however, is furnished by the Socialist war minister, Gustav Noske, who has expressed the opinion that .in case of iinfnvn?>Wo pence, which he anticipates, the army must as quickly as possible be brought to a state of the highest efficiency for a new war.
