Practical plans for the systematic •organization of 2,000,000 boys into an army of youthful farmers to help jnake and harvest the crops have been suggested by Alexander Reading Gu- Jick, New York attorney and practi cal farmer, in a letter to the National Emergency Food Garden Commission, of Washington. He suggests that the most natural and best method would be through an extended organization of the Boy Scouts of America. If this is not prac ticable, then a distinct organization under governmental control, to be known by some suitable name, as for Instance, Boy Service Army of the Cadets of America.

There would be lost the discipline and control that the camp life affords, and there would be great danger that the boys would not be properly housed and fed. Fixed rates of wages should be es tablished, to be paid by the farmer. In this should bo included the boy's transportation and the cost of his liv ing at the camp. The hours of labor of these boys should not exceed, in the beginning, seven hours. Work should begin at eight o'clock and stop at five, with two hours' rest at midday. Russian Peace Advocates Do Not Want Premature Agreement With Germany Petrograd, April 29, via April 30.—1t is evident from foreign i telegrams that the attitude of the | Russian democracy toward peace has been misconstrued and distorted by the foreign press. The desire foi peace has become more widespread i and articulate since the revolution, I but it is based on entirely different I conceptions from those entertained i during the old regime. These new conceptions have nothing j to do with a premature peace with i Germany. As a matter of fact they have not yet taken any definite form. J simply emanating from the new spirit of democracy which wishes to build a foundation for a durable world peace, j The idea of a separate peace died here ! with the old regime. There is no talk I of this even among the most advanced i Socialistic factions.
