Fred O. Ainsworth, who was relieved from duty at the war department, was noti­ fied that President Taft had approved his application for retirement, which means there will be no court-martial on charges which were said to be pending against him. General Alnsworth's request for re­ tirement was made in a letter to Colonel McCain, acting adjutant gen­ eral. This letter was made public, and read as follows: "Having served continuously for thirty-seven years as a commissioned officer of the army, and being worn with the heavy burden of care and responsibility that I have borne for many of these years, I do not desire, in any circumstances to retain longer the position I now hold on the active list of the army. I therefore respect­ fully asked to be retired from active service and to be placed on the re­ tired list under section 1243 of the re­ vised Btatutes." So far as the official records of the war department now show, there are no charges of any nature pending against General Ainsworth.

BREAK IN RELATIONS SEEN C0UL0N VICTOR OVER BURNS Bantam Champion Retains Title Fierce Twenty-Round Battle at New Orleans. In New Orleans.--Johnny Coulon of Chicago Is still the bantamweight king. The champion successfully defended his title against Frankie Burns of Jer­ sey City in a hard-fought twenty-round battle before the West Side Athletic club. Coulon was given a Justly earned decision over the eastern crack by Referee Harry Stout at the end of an hour's hard fighting. The fight was undoubtedly tbe greatest bantamweight championship contest in the history of the game. A crowd of over 8,000 fans yelled and raved as the splendid little boxers battled like madmen all the way. The betting before the battle was 9 to 6 and 2 to 1 that Coulon would win. At the end of the bout Burns was cheered by some of the men who bet against him because of the great showing he made. Burns went to-the floor in the last round or he might have been given a draw. Champion Coulon had a hard task. He battled Burns, who was at 116 pounds, while Coulon weighed only 111 and a fraction. Bums had the advan­ tage in weight, height and reach.

Washington.--In the negotiations now under way for a treaty to replace the abrogated treaty of 1832, the gov­ ernment of Russia has refused to con­ sider the admission to- that country of American citizens of Jewish birth. While perfectly willing to agree to a suitable treaty that will deal with commerce alone, Russia. It is stated, has informed the United States that she is not able to recede from a posi­ tion that she has defended so long and so earnestly. Washington.--The capital Is aghast over the extraordinary action of Senor Pedro del Ospina, minister of Colom­ bia to the United States, in making public a formal note he had sent to Acting Secretary of State Huntington Wilson saying the proposed visit of Secretary of State Knox to his country on tfoe latter's projected southern, trip, might be "Inopportune." The Colombian minister, first draw­ ing attention to the fact that the views are his own, and not officially those of the government, seriously criticises the United States for not submitting to arbitration the differences with Co­ lombia growing out of thiB govern­ ment's acquisition of the Panama canal zone. Inasmuch as the letter admittedly la the personal expression of the minis­ ter, written without having communi­ cated with his government, it was re­ ceived at the state department in the nature of a personal insult to this gov­ ernment. In diplomatic circles it was believed that Colombia, smarting under eight years of ineffectual attempts to se­ cure arbitration of the canal zone dif­ ferences, would confirm the unofficial views of her accredited representa­ tives. A more profound sensation is looked for, as it is believed that a termina­ tion of diplomatic relations between this country and Colombia is in pros­ pect. Acting Secretary Wilson had ad­ vised Senor Ospina of the probable itinerary of Secretary Knox. What Is said to have particularly aroused the Colombian minister was a reference to the Republic of Panama in the itiner­ ary, a country whose independence Co­ lombia never has recognized. He makes veiled reference to the long delay of the United 8tates in an­ swering several notes addressed to it, seeking arbitration, and charges that this government has discriminated against Colombia in failing to give her arbitration which the United States is now offering to other members of the family of the nations. A tentative itinerary of Secretary Knox makes provision for a stop at Cartagena, Colombia, on March 25, Senor Ospina was disposed to be­ lieve that his government would indi­ cate to the United States that a visit from Secretary Knox would be untime­ ly unless the secretary came prepared to promise an early arbitration of dif­ ferences. He declared that his letter summed up tbe position of Colombia as conclusive. HANG FIVE MURDERERS CHICAGO AS8A88IN8 PAY ALTY FOR CRIMES. PEN. Americans Honor Charcot.

Great efforts on the part of many prominent per­ sons in Chicago, and more especially those engaged in settlement work on the West side, were made to have the sentences of Thomas Schults and Frank Shiblawskl commuted to life imprisonment.

So much has been written regarding 'tbe great amount of money made out of growing wheat in the prairie prov­ inces of Manitoba, Saskatchewan and Alberta, Western Canada, that many other products of the farms are over­ looked. These provinces will always grow large areas of •wheat--both spring and winter--and the yields will continue to be large, and the general average greater than in any other portion of tbe continent. Twenty, thir­ ty, forty, and as high as fifty bushels per acre of wheat to the acre--yields unusual in other parts of the wheat growing portions of the continent-- have attracted world-wide attention, but what of oats, which* yield forty, fifty and as high as one hundred and ten bushels per acre and carry off the world's prize, which, by the way, waa also done by wheat raised in Sas­ katchewan during last November at the New York Land Show. And then, there's the barley, with its big yields, and its excellent samples. Another money-maker, and a big one is flax. The growing of fiax ia extensively car­ ried on in Western Canada. Th© writer has before him a circular la- sued by a prominent farmer at Saska­ toon. The circular' deals with the treatment of seed flax, the seeding and harvesting, and attributes yields of less than 20 bushels per acre, to later seeding, imperfect and illy-pre­ pared seed. He sowed twenty-five pounds of seed per acre and had a yield of twenty-nine bushels per acre. This will probably dispose of at $2.60 per acre. Speaking of proper prepa­ ration of seed and cultivation of soil and opportune sowing, in the circular spoken of there is cited the case of a Mr. White, living fourteen milea south of Rosetown, "who had fifteen acres of summer fallow a year ago last summer, upon which he produced thirty-three bushels to the acre, when many in the district harvested for want of crop. Now, there can be ho proper reason advanced why such a crop should not have been produced on all the lands of the same quality In the adjacent district, provided they had been worked and cared for in the same manner. This year (1911) the same man had one hundred acres of summer fallow, had something over 3,800> bushels of wheat. He also had 1,800 bushels of oats and 300 bushels Of flax." There are the cattle, the horses, the roots and the vegetable products of Western Canada farms, all of which individually and collectively deserve special mention, and they are treated of in the literature sent out on appli­ cation by the Government agents.
