He aamitted, however, that the general industrial unrest afflicting France, England and Germany bode ill for future peace if readjustments do not come soon. As for Germany, he felt that the “red” agitation is well in hand for the moment, but there are plenty of officials and individuale who look forward wi.. apprehension to the coming winter. The coal supply problem of Ger- many is admittedly very critical. To increase the household fuel supply, it has been decided to sacritice some of the state forest wood. But even with improved conditions.for mine labor and added inducements, there promises to be an industrial stagna- tion the coming winter that quite conceivably will have serious popular reaction. ‘Because of this specter, the government forsees with some uneasi- ness the possibility that, despite the apparent slumbering of the Spartacus movement, it will then spring into life with an upheaval worse than last winter’s. And, because of “this fear, many German officials are striving to have the police situation improved, inas- much as army reduction is soon to be forced under the treaty terms. And, at the same time, they are hoping that foreign credits can be arranged so that a real cure rather than a re- pressive measure—like Noske guards —can be utilized. ings, is the view of one of the foreign office’s most prominent officials. In an interview, the official, whose position requires that he reme... an- onymous, declared that, especially in the case of Germany, the league should its own reduced forces prove inadequate. “I believe,” he said, ‘‘that labor the world over must have a mew deal Conditions and pay of labor must be altered. This can be done through the League of Nations. But, after this has been done, there should be a way in which in event of serious troubles internally, one' mnation’s neighbor should come to its assist- ance, particularly if the nation af- ‘fected has too small a police force to cope with the trouble.” The official was inclined to believe that, for a time at least, the entente demands for army reduction are likely to leave Germany ill-equipped to deal with internal troubles. He holds the view that such disturbances as the nation has had are due main- ly to professional agitators rather than to the honest, earnest desire of the whole people to attain a new standing in the industrial or political world. And, the fact that Germany has remained comparatively quiet for speaker as due largely to efficient police measures. While Germany’s police measures so far may have been rather more strenuous than a demo- oughly, the coarse material will all settle to the bottom, and you may fill the barrel with water, and the solution is ready to be applied to your plants. An application every two weeks is generally all that is required for most plants. For this process sand is generally used, or very light soil, as most favor- able for the .formation of new roots. The geranium is perhaps the easfest to begin with, and a good healthy top should be selected where wood has formed. Take a sharp knife and cut below the joint.

PUTNAM. The best way to propagate prim- roses is from seeds, which should be sown-in May or June, or as soon as the soil becomes thoroughly warm. The seeds are quite small, but are easily started by sowing in a box or a bed. The soil must be sifted fine and of a moldy consistency which will not bake or become hard. Press the surface of the soil smooth and level, sow the seed evenly and thinly, and cover lightly. It i a mistake to sow deeply. The ground must be kept mo!st and covered. that is, protected from th. rain, wind and hot sun, until the plants appear. It requires from three weeks to a month to bring plants to the surface, then they must be care- fully dusted with a little tobacco and sulphur mixed, to keep down the fungus and insects. The primrose requires a moist, but not wet sofl, and if the sofl is al- lowed to dry out before the plants ap- pear, propagation will be greatly re- tarded or eutirely stopped. o Used in borders or in pots, the lit- More Dry Spot in the Garden Excavate for a Depth of Two Feet or S for Your Cold Pit.
