Paris, March 30.--The maobiliza- tion of farmers has caused a dacrease in cultivation in France of 3,394,000 hectares (8,386,959 acres), accord- iing to a statement made by Jules | Melite, Minister of Agriculture, in { the Chamber of Deputies to-day. This deficit must be remedied, said the Minister, in speaking on behalf of the Government bill providing for the tillage of abandoned soil and the organization of farm laborers during the war. The number of soldiers placed at the tion of farmers, the Minister added, had increased from' 15,000 in 1915 to 80,000 in 1916, but the great military opera- tions had caused the authorities to change 'their decision to use these men for agriculture, =~ HAD MINOR OPERATION.

Baffled and enraged by the heroic defence, they are wreaking their unholy vengeance on civilian property. But 1 doubt whether there will be greater success in this changed plan than in the ori- ginal one, for even by the systematic firing of incendiary shells many weeks of daily bombardment would be necessary before the shameful work as completed.

AN ACCUSATION MADE THAT PUBLIC INTEREST WAS SACRIFICED. The Zeppelin Casualties in Britain Total 150 Dead, 150 Wounded, and 103 Missing. : .London, March 29.--The Govern- ment was again heckled in the House of Commons last night on the ineffi- ciency of the British aircraft service and defence against Zeppeling by Noel Pemberton-Riling, . recently elected a member on the question of air preparedness, snd othér mem- bers, who accused /the Ministers of parsimony and neglect of valuable inventiong offered to them, and de- clared that the public interest was being sacrificed to ignorance and in- trigue among the higher officials. Mr. Pemberton-Billing said that a series of casualties with a total 'of 160 dead, 150 wounded, and 105 missing was due to the sending up of British aviators in aeroplanes which were outclassed hopelessly by Ger man machines. Mr. Pemberton-Bill- ing asséried German aeroplanes ere immensely superior to British' ma- chines, notwithstanding the fact that within twenty miles of London there engines better than those used by the Germans. Harold J. Tennant, Parliamentary Secretary of the War Office, made conciliatory answers to these cl and assured Mr. Pemberton-Billing that he was wholly misinformed as to the charges of ignorance and in- trigue, and with respect to accident attributed to faulty machinery. He promised that a small judicial body would be appointed to investigate and report to Parliament: Mr. Tennant admitted that at present a majority of the German ae roplanes were probably faster than a majority of the British, but he ex- | pected soon to have a number of ma- chines superior to those of the Ger- mans. The War Office, he sald, had not abandoned hope of dealing suec- cessfully, with Zeppelin raids, in fact their hope was higher than ever be- fore. To references to Sir Heary Dal. ziel's allegation that dummy wooden guns lad been sent, surrounded by soldiers, to téwns- where there had been Zeppelin raids, in order to allay public anxiety, Mr. Tennant replied he had never heard of it.
