has defied the powers of medical
science, is caused by the germ

at death.
Fighting against the almost
insurmountable obstacles present-

have sought to stop the spread of

The Banker - Farmer meeting
will be held at College Station,
April 20, and 21, with the object
of the bankers and farmers mak-
ing a study of improved agricul-
ture and learning how advanced
cultural methods and better live-
stock and feeding may be used
most effectively in each commu-
nity. In this manner it is hoped
that the banker may learn the
advantages of such practices and
encourage same by financing the
farmers so that they may put
them into practice, while the
farmer may learn something of
what is lacking in his system of
farm management, and by the
assistance which the banker can
lend him be induced to adopt
such changes as may prove bene-
ficial in his particular circum-
stances. It is a co-operative move-
ment for bringing the farmer
and banker closer together for
mutual assistance in improved
agriculture since all wealth comes
from the soil. The banker needs
the farmer and the farmer needs
the banker and this furnishes an
opportunity for both to learn
how co-operation may result in
improving agriculture and there-
by improving the community.
The program for the two days
has been made exceptionally inte-
resting and instructive to all con-
cerned and should prove exceed-
ingly valuable to any group of
bankers and farmers in communi-
ty upbuilding. Talk to your
banker or county agent about it.
You can not afford to miss the
opportunity. Cheap rates have
been provided.

There was a time-worked ex-
pression to the effect that “the
gates of Castle Garden always
swing inward—they never swing
outward.” But this will have to
be revised since the Federal Im-
migration Bureau shows that for
the year ending last November,
the immigrant aliens numbered
220,193, and that for the same
period the emigrant aliens were
246,557, representing as actual
increase of the alien population
of the country. At the present
time it is estimated that approxi-
mately 10,000 more emigrant
aliens are leaving these shores
than there are others coming
here. Within the last one hun-
dred years more than 33,000,000
actual immigrants came to our
shores. The high water mark
was reached in 1907 when ap-
proximately 1,280,000 immigrants
entered our country.
Congress is struggling with the
problem of what to do along the
line of immigration. But the
question appears to be settling
itself, since the above figures
must be taken as the basis for
our calculations. Federal figures
bear out the statement that in
the lines of industry where fo-
reign labor is depended upon to
a large extent that the man-sup-
ply of the country is short, and
most industrial concerns appar-
ently favor legislation and a na-
tional policy that will serve as
an encouragement to Europeans
to settle permanently in the
United States. Agriculture has
also had its biggest growth as a
result of foreign settlers, and just
now farming needs recruiting.
The arguments that were urged
against immigration during the
war were based largely upon the
belief that many foreigners fail-
ed to assimilate with our national
life and to become Americanized.
While this was doubtless true to
a large extent, still the demon-
stration that the war gave in re-
gard to our national unity seems

The Universal Training Plan

Advocates of universal training
in the Senate have conceded their
defeat and have offered as a
substitute a plan for volunteer

The Peace Plan pending in the
House of Representatives, by
which it is proposed to declare
by joint resolution an end of the
war with Germany, appears, from
a test vote which occurred in
connection with the adoption of
a rule limiting debate on the
measure, to be strongly favored,
the vote for the rule being 214
to 155. Among those voting for
the rule were seven Democrats,
one of whom, Representative
Huddleton of Alabama, created a
decided sensation by a speech
favoring the resolution, in which
he said in part: “The Treaty of
Versailles is dead. So far as the
United States is concerned it
might as well not have been
written. The President is in ir-
reconcilable deadlock with the
Senate, and there is no hope that
either will yield ”

A Huge Naval Appropriation
seems likely to be provided by
Congress. The bill as it passed

and the Senate Committee, before
which the bill is now pending,
is said to favor a further increase
of $39,000,000 in order to quick-
en naval construction and to
provide additional funds for
navy aviation purposes.

Suffrage has failed in Dela-

skepticism as to the possibility
of ratifying the Federal suffrage
amendment in time to permit the
women of the country to parti-

ratification of but one more
State is needed to make the
amendment a valid part of the
United States Constitution, but
that one vote seems harder to
get than were all of the other
thirty-five.

statements of Admiral Sims to
the effect that the United States
entered the war without plans or
policies; that it was unprepared
to fight; and that it was a mis-
take to attempt to direct naval
operations from Washington. Ad-
miral Rodman declared that nev-
er in his more than forty years
of service had the fleet been in
a better state of preparedness
than in the Spring of 1917.
Admiral H. D. Wilson, Com-
mander in Chief of the Atlantic
fleet, also disagrees with many
of Admiral Sims’ criticisms of
the Navy Department’s conduct
of the war. Before the Senate
investigation committee the Ad-
miral declared that the active
fleet was never better prepared
than in April, 1917. He also

The itinerary is to include Ha-
