WHILE WAR IS RAGING FRENCH
PEASANTSARETILLINGTHESOIL
GENERAL HEADQUARTERS, British Army, France,
May 20—The aged peasants of France, assisted by the women
and children, have gone valiantly and diligently ahead with
the farm work wherever opportunity offered, so that spring
find's every inch of agricultural country, barring those strips
of no-man’s land between the trenches of the opposing armies,
under cultivation. Practically all of the available land has
been planted and along the front held by the British army are
thousands of acres in wheat, some of it already more than an
inch high. France is duplicating the intense farming idea
of the Germans.

AMSTERDAM, May 21—The so-called War Press in Ger
many is now publishing monthly nearly 3,000 different books,
pamphlets and circulars dealing with the war.
GERMANY MUST MAKE REPARATION SWITZERLAND
Special to The Times By Associated Press.
BERNE, May 21—The Swiss federal govern
ment has decided to make representations to Ger
many on the sinking of the Lusitania by a German
submarine. Three full-fledged citizens of Switzer
land v re lost when the Cunard liner sank off the
southern coast of Ireland, and the Swiss public
opinion has been manifesting itself more and more
strongly on the matter until the federal officials had
to take action.
The government will act on the matter as soon
as the reply of Germany to President Wilson’s note
is made public. Judging by the newspaper com
ment throughout Switzerland, the people here do
not think that the American president’s note to Ber
lin was nearly strong enough. The matter has n
roused considerable antagonism in thi< country a
gainst the Germans, and the rights of neutral nations
are being daily violated in the opinion of the Swiss
people.
ENGLISH CHILDREN PREFER
GOINGSCHOQLTQFARIIWDRK
LONDON, May 21—The suggestion recently made in some
quarters that children be taken from the public schools and al
lowed to assist in farm work, has apparently not met with any
general adoption. The returns made by the national hoard of
education under the compulsory education laws, show that
only 1,400 children of school age luiye been excused from school
attendance for this reason.
The average pay of children employed' in farm labor is
given at $1.50 a week, although in many cases board and lodg
ing are supplied in addition.

PAPERS
BREMEN. May 21—For many
months tt has been the practice of
firms In mnny parts of Germany—
manufacturing concerns, banks and
big stores—to issue minature news
papers which contain the war news
concerning their employees In the
field.
One of the most successful of these
experiments is conducted by a large
coffee concern in Bremen, more than
half of whose employes are away, and
many of whom have distinguished
themselves for bravery. The pepers
which are issued weekly, not only
go to the employes who remain be
hind and to the families of those at
the front, but to each one who Is fight
ing as soon as his address can be as
certained.
One of the papers’ most Important
departments is an address list, which
enables a man at the west front to
find out where his former fellow em
ploye is stationed in the oast, and to
write him. An honor list of those
who have been killed, and another
giving the decorations received take
up the back page each week.
Space is reserved for letters written
by the men at the front, and a quan
tity of the most important news from
week to week Is printed. This in
cludes news from the factory and its
workings, as well as war items. As
fast as men are called into service
their names are printed. A humor
ous column completes Che contents.

STOPPED UNDER MARTIAL LWJ
CAIRO, May 21—Martial law has made it a dangerous
matter for the peddlers of adulterated liquor to attempt busi
ness near the British encampments in Egypt. By proclama
tion, Lieut. General Sir J. Maxwell lias empowered special
officers to enter and inspect any establishment suspected of
selling liquor within a radius of five miles of any place where
British troops are stationed. Any person found guilty of
selling adulterated or inferior alcoholic drinks is liable to im
prisonment, fine and loss of license.
Egypt is in normal times filled with imitation liquors, wines
and beers of such a poisonous nature that the drinkers go in
sane. Both the health and'discipline of the troops was affect
ed by this menace, now removed, in the early days of the war.
