Baltimore, April 6—President Wilson at a great Liberty Loan! celebration here tonight gave America’s answer to the German: drive on the western battle front; to the renewed propaganda for | a German-made peace, to all proposals to end the war before Ger- many. is awakened from her dream of world dominion. The President’s answer was: “Force, force to the utmost, force without stint or limit, the righteous and triumphant force which shall make right the law of the world and cast every selfish dominion down in the dust.” division of citizen soldiers, called pursuits of peace; now transformed into fighting men to carry the/ done in Russia, in Finland in the Uk: ideals of America to the battle fields of Europe at the moment a! million more of their kind all ov REVIEWS CITIZEN SOLDIERS A few hours before the president spoke, he had reviewed a! only a few months ago from the er the land were celebrating the opening of the third Liberty Loan; and the orders for mobilizing k willing to sit down at the conference |Sustice or dominion, and the execution of their own will upon the other na- tions of the world that the German leaders are seeking.| They have an- swered in unmistakable terms.- They have avowed that it was not justice but dominion, and the unhindered ex- ecution of their own will.

Rich, Federal Reserve Agent L —Spring operations throughout the entire inth District have opened. up from NORTHWEST CROP in South Dakota as well. In’ Minhe- sota and Wisconsin it is evident that the wheat acreage will be increased fully 10-per cent and perhaps more. A novel and interesting: feature o1 the situation is thay many farmer; who have grown no wheat for man) years are’ including from 10° to 4¢ acres of wheat planting and are thus making a substantial contribution to the production’ of. the ‘chief . bread grain. Corn Acreages Corn acreages excep. in. Montana will be decreased, but not as. heavil: ag was previously feared. ‘Winter ry«| shows a considerably increased acre age,-and barley will probably show.an increase in North and, South Dakote and Montana, and. some. increase Ir. Minesota. The indications are that planting of. oats will+be about the same as in an ayerage year, and that the planting of flax will show some decrease, x Reports received by this bank are of such a character as to indicate. } that there has been a change of senti. ment on the wheat question, and that | with seeding actually’ in. progress, | tarmers are more inclined than 34 | days ago to'accept the certainties tha _ cxrround a fixed price for the 191! wheat crop rather than to take the chances upon an uncertain marke with rye and barley.

Western North Dakota has a sul: stantial increase.in both winter wheat and winter rye, The portion of th: state in which fall planting is practic: ably reports a 25 to 30 percent {n- creas in wheat and from 30 to 40 per: cent increase in winter rye. In the western portion of North Dakota the spring wheat situation’ is: -spoticd. vome localities .will plant largoly 4 creased acreages, while in other local. ities the acreage will be less. Through: out the central portion of tha: state, the acreage, of wheat. In the easpern and southern portions of, th?’ state ap- mately the same conditions pre- vail. Throughoue the valley counties along the eastern border, the ‘wheat acreagé will be larger than’ iast year, and other crops will also show an crease. For the state as a whole, appears probable that the total dcre- age of wheat. will: be somewhat in- creased, uumougu ine percentage! may not be large. The barley acropge apd the acreage of rye will both, be in- creased, and there will be a ‘arge planting of oats. The flax acreage for the state as a whole will be less than a year ago. The corn. atreage’ will be considerably decreased duetto. difficul- ‘ies in obtaining seed, but the’ short- ge will’ not ‘be as great as was ‘in vrospe x weeks ago. Adan iN aK, DONT# FUSS.
