ARMY Fighting Men Think America Will Want to Be on French Front By Associated Press British Headquarters in France, via London. April s.—There is much speculation in the British army as to what assistance, in a military sense, America might render the allies. Ue- Kardless of what theorists may sav. practical fighting men here believe that the United States would want to have representation with the allied : army on this front and would send j over a considerable fighting force' THURSDAY EVENING, ! within six months, providing the war ; lasts that long. On basis tor this belief is that both ( Germany and Great Britain are fight ing with new armies, Britain because she did not have an army in the Eu ropean sense before the war began and Germany because her forces are , largely made up of classes called to the colors since 1914, a large propor tion having only five months' training. It is generally figured now that a good soldier can be made within six months. The organization behind the fighting force must be built up by genius, but it is thought here that America can j easily meet that emergency. It is also argued in army circles that America might well specialize in : such branches as aviation and ma : chine gun detachments. The airplanes j would have, however, to come up to a high standard and must make at I least 150 miles an hour to take rank : with the best English and French machines. One definite thing expect ed is that America will undoubtedly j increase manifold the hospital and medical assistance which she Is al -1 ready voluntarily rendering the allies. J2jOtV7MHX2 Rejuvenated Orchards Pay Increased Apple Profits One of the biggest problems In Pennsylvania horticulture to-day is the rejuvenation of the farm orchards of one to five acres each. Over eighty per cent, of the 8,000,000 barrels of ap ples produced In Pennsylvania in 1917 came from these orchards, according to Dr. S. W. Fletcher, professor of horticulture at the Pennsylvania State College, who gives specific direction for their rejuvenation. Prune out in March or April, all diseased wood, suckers, water sprouts and crossing limbs, to open the top to sunlight. Tall limbs, if not over four inches in diameter, may need cutting back to bring the bearing surface nearer the ground. No stubs should be left, and large wounds should be painted. Orchards planted less than twenty-five feet apart may frequently be thinned to advantage. Apply a liberal dressing of manure. If manure is not available, use ten to twenty pounds oer tree of a mixture HARRISBURG TELEGRAPH HAHItISBI'RK. TIIIRSD.tY, APKII. S. 1017. of one part nitrate of soda and three parts acid prosphate, immediately be fore the blossoming season. It may be best to disk or plow the orchard in April, and cultivate it frequently un til July. Crimson clover or vetch may then be sown. Pastured orchards, however, frequently do well if liber ally fertilized or manured. Spray the trees with lime-sulphur solution, diluted one to eight, just before the winter buds burst. Imme diately after petals fall and again nine weeks later, apply lime-sulphur, one to forty, adding two pounds of lead arsenate paste to each fifty gallons of spray. A barrel spray pump outfit sufficient for a small orchard costs from $lO to S2O. NEW ARABIC FORECAST London, April s.—lt is generally believed in Kngland that the close of the war will see the reorganization of Arabia into a definite autonomous government, known as Arabistan with the capital in Mecca, and governing a territory about the size of India. Big Belligerents Borrow From Holland Despite Protest of the Dutch The Hague, Natlierlands, April 5. Despite her efforts to prevent it, Hol land is becoming, perforce, a large lender to the belligerent states. Great Britain set the example of paying for its .arge supplies of dairy and other produce in exchequer bills, and, when Germany demanded the same privi lege, neutral Holland could not see its way to refuse, however differently it might regard Berlin paper. Holland has been trying to apply the brake on this downward road that might land it in uncomfortable circumstances but so far, apparently unsuccessfully. While these nations demand virtual ly everything on credit, they require little Holland to pay for her import ed goods in cash. Jn one respect this operates to Holland's advantage owing to the fact that the rates of exchange APRIL 5, 191 in Germany and Austria arc depress ed and Holland purchasers, conse quently, pay less now than they would after the war when the exchange rates may have risen. ENGLAND SAVES *10,000,000 London, April 5. Although the conversion of older securities into the new war loan yielding a higher rate of interest cost the country just over 7,000,000 pounds sterling it is estimat ed that a saving of over 2,000,000 pounds In annual charges has been ef fected by not issuing the loan on a six per cent, basis. SECOND CABLE BREAKS Copenhagen, April 6.—The break ing of the second cable connecting Co penhagen with Great Britain Is con firmed here. Only two cables now re main, one of which is devoted entirely to Anglo-Russian business. The news papers here are urging the resumption of the wireless servico which existed at the beginning of the war. FOUNDED 1871 N. Y. Senate Expresses Confidence in Wagner and Mayor Mitchel By Associated Press Albany, N. Y., April s.—Adoption by the Senate of resolutions expressing confidence in the loyalty and patriot ism of Democratic deader Robert F. Wagner, of the Senate and containing no word of censure for Mayor John P. Mitchel, of New York, brought the Mltchel-Wagner controversy over Rockaway fort site legislation to a sudden termination early to-day. The endorsement of Senator Wagner was unanimous. The resolution ending the Inquiry was adopted by a vote of 30 to 13 in which party lines were not adhered to. It was the f>neral sentiment, as re flected by speeches in open Senate during the final scene of the proceed ings, that with a declaratisns of war expected hourly, the Senate had more Important business to occupy its at tention than those then at Utnr 3
