I; AMSTERDAM, April 20.—Th«
I Koelnische Volks Zeitung, after abus
ing President Wilson in the style
which appears popular in Germany at
i present, says:
“We are entitled to a thumping war
indemnity, and we don’t care who
pays it. Those states which have
> sacrificed immense sums will be un
i able to pay it. Therfore, the United
I States, which has earned thousands
of millions through munitions and
supplies, will have to unbutton its
pockets. We need not force America
itself to pay, but we hold so many
pledges in hand that for the entente
it is most important to have Ameri
ca as a banker behind them.”
) On the Other hand the Frankfurter
)i Zeitung, in a remarkably outspoken
) article, freely admits that the con
j stant pan-German sabre rattling has
j been to a large extent the cause of
world-wide hostility to Germany.
| The newspaper discusses a new pam
: phlet on “The Pan-German Move
j ment in America,” by Otto Baumgar
| ten, which consists of a collection of
: i articles on pan-Germanism and espe
■Icially the chapter entitled: “The Pan
; German Threat to America” in which
■lit reproduced the appeals made in
j July, 1916, by Baron Kurt von Strants
j i to “the 90,000,000 Germans in the
i I United States to form with the Irish
an independent state.”
j The Frankfurter Zeitung also cites
: violent tirades by various writers
j against all non-German people, the
i advocacy of frightfulness, the exalta
i tion of hatred, and says:
! ‘All this sorry rubbish, especially
j the crazy ever-recurring idea that
! Germany will seize parts of South
t America, serves nothing but to
j strengthen the hands of Germany’s
j enemies in America. These are peo
[ pie who have harmed our cause
abroad immeasurably and they have
made foreigners btliev^ that their
views are those of the German na
tion.”
WASHINGTON, April 20.—All ali
^ ens now detained because of inability
j to qualify for admission to the Unit
■ ed States will be given an opportuni
g ty to grow their own food, if the im
| migration service can find farming
a communities suitable for their needs.
■ Ellis island and other statons, jam
8 med with some 3,000 aliens the coun
■ i try cannot deport because of the war,
•
a will be cleared under the plan.
■ Crews taken from German and
a Austrian merchant ships in American
f harbors will be included in the mov
i ing orders. No aliens turned back
j at the nation’s eastern gates have
been deported since the war began be
cause of the perils of transatlantic
travel.
The immigration service plans to
give all an opportunity to engage in
farming if arrangements can be
made not only that the country’s
food production may be increased,
but for the beneficial effects on the
aliens themselves. The plan, which
has been developed only in a general
I way, is to group persons of the same
nationality together. Aliens arriving
in the future, if inadmissible, will be
added to the colonies.
, l,8fi*> Alien Enemies From Ships.
) Many aliens have been admitted to
j the country recently who in normal
I times would have been turned back,
say immigration officials, because
there was no room at immigration
stations for their detention. As alien
. enemies they are not entitled to ad

TOE SOILS
FRKNCH FRONT, April 24.—The
beginning of spring this year has pro
duced the spectacle of thousands of
soldiers of the French army, together
with their comrades of the British and
: Belgian armies, forsaking the rifle,
the bayonet, the hand grenade and the
machine gun to take in hand tempor
arily the hoe, the spade, the harrow
and the plough in many of the districts
of eastern and northeastern France.
The reconquest of large tracts of
territory from the Germans and the
return of the civilian inhabitants from
the places where they had taken ref
uge confronted the authorities with
the problem of restoring these lands
to cultivation. Farming implements
to the value of hundreds of thousands
of dollars, it was found, had been dam
aged or destroyed since the beginning
of the war in what is known as the
“zone of the armies.” The young
peasants were all serving in the ranks
and the older men, even with the aid
of the women and children, were un
able to fill their places for the pro
per cultivation of the land.
The army decided to step into the
breach. The greatest proportion of
the soldiers in the French ranks come
form the peasant or farming class. It
was therefore an easy task to find cap
able haands. The organization was
more difficult, but co-ordination be
tween the civil and miiltary authori
ties was effected very rapidly. A mili
tary officer with agricultural experi
ence was appointed by each army 10
consult with the prefects of the de
partments; in which the troops were
, staationed, and to find out what work
was to be done and how many hands
were required to do it.
The zone occupied by each army
was subdivided into small districts,
j each containing about 25 villages or
; hamlets. The commanding officer of
the troops stationed in each district
was directed to get nito touch with
the civil official and place at his dis
posal as many men as are neded or
can be spared for agricultural work.
The artillery and engineering repair
| shops of the army were ordered to
mend damaged farm implements and
to replace missing parts, and army
’ farriers to shoe free of charge all
: horses working on the land.
The result of these arrangements is
that almost up to the firing line all
available land in France is now in
cultivation, and soldiers in uniform,
whenever they can be spared from the
trenches and dugouts and their main
task of destroying the Germans, work
cheerful^' with the women, children
and older men behind the lines.
The system has been extended to
j that part of the line—150 miles in
j length—held by the British and Bel
| gians, but here the task is more dif
ficult, as most of the northern allies
are, in civil life, engaged in indus
! trial work in the cities. The Canadi
anas and Australians, however, have
«
been of immense assistance in restor
ing French land to productiveness.
under conditions imposed by the gov
ernment.
Crews of ships taken in charge by
the government in harbors of conti
nental United States, Porto Rico, and
Hawaii total 1,866. Some of them
are from Austrian ships and a few
are women and children. Nothing
will be done with the Austrians at
present.
Under international law the gov
ernment has the right to put the
crews at work not strictly military.

of Fairbanks, whe were recently in
dicted by the grand jury for living in
a state of adultery, were recently mar
ried, hoping to evade prosecution.
