Show THE TIMES-NEW-S, NEPHI, UTAH. OFFICIAL HUGE SECOND DRAFT MAY 1 E JANUARY 1 the Sea in a Steady Stream, the Problem of TransjJorta-tatio- n Having Been Solved, Equip- ment Being Only Problem. Washington. January 1 has been tentatively set for the second draft; the number of men to be called will be approximately 750,000. This, it was learned in war department circles on August 21, is answec ko the question, What will President Wilson reply to the pope's peace proposals? With the allies striking on every )bon the United States through the (officials charged with carrying on the rwar Set drop sufficient hints Tuesday of preparations for the future to make It plain that there is little hope for peace in administration circles at this lime. Indications were that President Wilson, through the state department, has been in touch with the entente governments and, that the basis on which answer to the pope will be made has been decided upon. It at least has been drafted in broad outline and only details remained to be discussed. Transportation Problem Solved. With an army of more than 1,200,-00- 0 assured, the government is devot-Jn- g its entire attention to transporting the men already enrolled or drafted to Trance rather than attempting to increase the number under arms. The principal problems are being met with much success, it was definitely learned, with so much success, in fact, that after a certain period, the length of which must remain a secret, there will be a constant and uninterrupted flow of American troops and supplies over seas. Equipment problems have taken on another aspect, however. The army experienced difficulty in outfitting ven the national guard when it was drafted into federal service and the coining in of the draft forces will drain the last uniform and rifle. In deed, the prospect today was that there will not be sufficient materials on hand October 3, when the last increment of the conscripted force is to toe brought to the colors, properly to outfit and equip them. Many men may be forced to drill in civilian at tire, or makeshift uniforms for sev eral s months.

The great apple crop of 1917 will be harvested in most sections by volunteer pickers, because of the peculiar labor situation this year. Throughout the nation state councils of defense, commercial organizations, women's d clubs and other persons opinion Washington. In Washington has crystallized apparently on these forecasts of the presSemi-offici- public-spirite- are organizing harvesting crews for the big job. These crews are for the most part composed of young men and women intelligent and interested, but quite unfamiliar with fruit picking. Each grower should now get In touch with the chamber of commerce, or some other representative business organization in his nearest town, tell how many pickers he will need, when he will need them, for how long, and what arrangements he can make for housing or boarding them. When his crew of volunteer pickers reports for duty he must open a little school for a day or two, and give them practical instruction in their new work. Many of them perhaps have never climbed into an apple tree, and even those who have may not understand that apple picking Is a kind of work that requires as much delicacy as gath ering eggs. Let the grower tell his pickers how the skin of an apple, or any other kind of fruit or vegetable, is like the tin that protects canned goods. As the tin that Incloses a can of tomatoes guards the sterilized contents from the air, and as even a slight pinhole in this tin would allow the air to enter and carry germs of decay, so the ' skin of an apple protects its flesh, which is perfectly sterile, and the least cut, even a dent made by a finger nail, allows germs to enter and start decay. A cut so tiny that it can only be detected under the microscope at picking time will, nevertheless, start a germ invasion which will show up later when the apple is packed and put into stor- ident's reply to Pope Benedict: ' The reply will await a conference of the allies, but the attitude of the United States wifl in no manner be constricted by determinations of the allies as to dispositions of European territory necessary to peace. The sine qua non upon which the United States will consider the cessation of hostilities will be the liberali sation and democratization of Germany herself. Matter Left to President. It is an end not regarded here as hopelessly remote. This is only semi official opinion. The men with whom the president advises directly are maintaining the most remarkable bar rier of silence on all matters relating to peace. But It is an opinion so universal among men who are in a position to sense tj'.e direction In which the administration moves, that it is regarded as important. The whole matter has been left to the president alone in a most unprecedented manner. The president Is believed to have Induced this attitude on the part of the cabinet and congress only because he has been able to assure them that he has a satisfactory solution of the peace problem. The delay fits nicely into the president's plans as outlined. It will permit fit the conference of the allies told of by Lord Robert Cecil in London. Democratization Real Solution. The very simplicity of the demands of the United States will also give them a force which the demands of the other allies may lack. They may be considered at first glance more difficult of attainment than the Complicated questions which the rest of the entente is endeavoring to solve. But the democratization of Germany is caid to be in thr president's opinion the real solution of all of the many things which the- allies may quarrel . age. For this reason great care must be taken In picking fruit. The grower should show their pickers how to grasp an apple and give it the skillful twist that separates It from the tree. He must caution them against dropping the apples carelessly in the boxes and baskets, and see that they have pitek- Ing baskets and field boxes which are free from splinters and nails. This year's crop will have to be managed along somewhat different lines in, many sections. With a crew of trained pickers and packers It Is customary to grade and pack much of the fruit as fast as it comes from the trees. There will probably be a short age of packers, and many growers will have to devote all their efforts to pick ing the crop and getting it into tempo rary storage first, and then packing it later. More good apples are spoiled every year by carelessness between the time they are picked and the time- they are packed than in any other way. Fall nights are cool, but fall days are apt to be warm. Apples are left in the or chard several days and alternately cool and heat with the changes in temperature until their quality deteri orates. The proper way to care for apples Is to put them into common storage as soon as they come from the tree. Almost any good tight building will answer for the temporary storage needed between picking and packing. When fruit leaves the tree It con tains vegetable heat just as an animal has animal heat, and as the carcass of an animal will spoil after killing un less it is properly cooled, so fruit will spoil unless cooled. With a tight shed, into which fruit can be carried direct from the orchard, the grower can use the cool nights of autumn to take the heat out of his fruit. Doors and win dows of the temporary storage shed should be opened at night to admit plentiful currents of cool air, and when the sun comes up nnd the outside air grows warm again this storage phice should be closed to exclude the warm outer air as much as possible, and keep the fruit nicely cooled. If apples are handled in this simple and sensible way they will have prime keeping quality and the work of grading and packing can be postponed for several weeks. There Is &r fairly large apple crop 'hroughout the country this year. It mounts to about two bushels for ev-rman, woman and child In the United States. From the consumers' stnnd-IKiitt Ls important to have as much of this fruit as possible go to market In fit st class condition, so that It may help us conserve wheat, meat, fat and other staple foods for our allies. From the producers' standpoint it Is just as Important to harvest the- crop In the best condition because the size of our pple crop this year Is such that only the best fruit will bring good prices. - y - over. , The one "exception of the rule gainst interfering in European politics today attributed fo the aJmte-tratio- n is the restoration of Belgium. This exception is made not because f interest in Belgium herself that Interest is sentimental and not political or diplomatic but because the violation of Belgium was the most striking instance of Prussian militarism's : disregard for all law. Leaven Is Working. The apparent gains of the Hungarians and rabid militarists in the expression of German sentiment which reached the state department were not regarded as extremely discouraging. The state department has Indisputable evidence that the leaven of democracy Is always powerfully, If quietly, at work in Germany. It will need only a smashing defeat of German arms to make its power felt from one end of the empire to the other. -- DRAFT LAW IS UPHELD. Court RejoflLs Applications for Writ of Habeas Corpus for Two Evaders. Washington. The draft law has been upheld in the first test of its constitutionality. Judge Emory Speer, United States judge for the southern district of Georgia, handed down at Mount Airy a decision to this effect. He rejected applications for writs of habeas corpus for two registration evaders, Albert Joucs und John Story, who had been arrested for failure to obey the law. Application was made on the ground that the law violated the thirteenth amendment, which provides that "neither slavery nor Involuntary servitude, except as punishment for crime whereof the parties shall have been duly convicted, shall exist within the United States or any place subject to their jurisdiction."
