RABBIT RAISING URGED
TO HELP MEAT SUPPLY
—
!
Britiih Government Encourages
Bunny Raising to Help Out
Meat Shortage.
LONDON’.—Rabbit breeding in
England has been undertaken by the
government in an effort to relieve
the shortage of meat due to the war.
The National Utility Rabbit Asso
ciation,it was announced recently,
has " established a central breeding
station and stud exchange in Vaux
hall, London- The first club started
in London under auspices * of the
. association is at the Royal Mews,
| Buckingham Palace.
The primary object is to build
up as quickly as possible a large
supply of the best pedigree stock,
which will be sent to provincial
breeding centers. These in turn
will supply breeding stock to smaller
S stations.
Each of the larger provincial
centers will have one hundred breed
ing does while the smaller stations
. will keep on hand about twenty each
It is the hope of officials that all
allotment societies, food produc-ion
organizations, women’s institutes
and many factories, munition works,
schools and summer camps will form
rabbit clubs to be affiliated to the
- : national association.

MICHIGAN VOTCHS
DETROIT. — Developments that
find no precedent in the political
history of the state have given Mich
igan’s primary campaign this year
an unusual interest which centers
largely in the race for the senatorial
nom'ination. The primary election
will be held August 27.
The Democrats in state confer
ence precipitated a situation that
promises to upset early calculations.
The conference endorsed Henry
Ford, as Democratic candidate for
the senatorial nomination, despite
the fact that he had been regarded
as a Republican possibility, and in
vited the Republicans to unite with
tjjem in supportng him.’ Then came
Ford’s announcement, after a con
ference wth President Wilson, that
he would accept the nomination if it
were tendered him- He did not
speify, however, whether he would
make the race as a Republican or
Democratic candidate, and the situ
ation was further complicated.
The actin of the Democratic state
conference has been denouced by
Michigan Republicans as an attempt
to split their party. Chase. S. Os
born, former governor and a can
didate for the Republican senatorial
nomination, has declined flatly to
accept the Democratic proposal that
he with two other Republican can
didates withdraw from the race,
and has indicated his intention of
making a vigorous campaign. Fred
M. Warner, also a former governor,
who had announced his candidacy
withdrew from the race, but coupled
with his withdrawal a statement
supporting Ford as the Republican,
but not the Democratic candidate
Truman H. Newberry, who served
in Roosevelt’s cabinet, is the othei
Republican mentioned for the nom
ination. Mr. Newberry has nevei
made a direct avowal of his candi
dacy, but the Newberry campaigr
committee has announced its inten
tion of making a vigorous campaigr
in his behalf.
Mr. Ford has had nothing to say
since his statement that he would
accept the nomination if tenderec
him. It is understood he will make
no campaign. Should his name gc
on both Republican and Democratic
tickets at the primary, under the
law, he must choose within five days
after canvass of the ballots the
ticket on which he will seek electior
Governor Albert E. Sleeper, Re
publican, is a candidate for renom
ination. John W Bailey, of Ba
Creek, is a candidate for the Demo
cratic nomination for the governor
ship.

AMERICANS ARE
SEN! 10 ENGLAND
10 CONVALESCE
_
I
LONDON.—Convalescent Ameri- j
can soldiers from the battle-fields of j
France and Flanders soon will be j
familiar sights on the streets of;
London. Already many of the |
American wounded are being fared
for in hospitals here, but plans are ;
being made to bring all or practi
cally all across the Channel.
Those declared unfit for further
duty will be sent ba«k to the United
States as rapidly as possible and the
question of sending over for the
later stages of convalescence those
whose complete restoration is certain
but which will require many months
is understood to be under consid
eration.
The medical department of the
army took steps in June to establish
two more base hospitals at English
ports and to increase the facilities
at those now in operation, and the
Red Cross is prepar-g to open a
3,000 bed hospital.
The largest hospital now used by
the American army is one in France,
equipped to care for 3,500 patients.
As a part of the plan for restor
ing the wounded in England instead
of France there has been placed at
the head of the American army’s
medical department here a gener .i
officer, General Winter.
One of the reasons for the de
cision to bring the American wound
ed here for treatment was the con
viction that recovery in many cases
wrould be hastened by the absence
from the depressing proximity to
the battlefronts, and that the men
would become fit for active service
in less time if in the environment
of a people speaking their own
language.
BRITISH LOAN CAMPAIGN
HAS AMUSING SIDELIGHT
LONDON.—During a War Loan
Campaign in a London suburb, an
airplane dropped 3,000 leaflets,
calling for subscriptions. Almost
the entire 3,000 fell into the village
cemetery, where they covered the
graves and shrubbery like snow
flakes. Visitors to the cemetery who
picked up the sheets found them
inscribed in large letters, “Wake
up and Buy War Bonds.”

GERMAN TEXTILE MILLS
CAUSE OF MUCH CONCERN
NEW YORK.—Four-fifths of the
textile plants of Germany were idle
in May and the misery prevailing
among the working men was daily
increasing, declared Deputy Kraet
zig, socialist, in the German Reich
stag, according to the Berlin Vor
Waerts. “The textile industry is
paralyzed” said the deputy. “A
feeling bordering on desperation pre
vails among the workers.
The textile operatives he continued
had been further alarmed by the or
ganization of a syndicate to merge
all the mills manufacturing the new
cellulose yarn Such a promising
article he declared should not be
] come monopolized by a small group.
