Harvest this year is just fairly
good. The tobacco has been gather
ed and hung up. but it could have
been much better crop The cult
walton Of tobacco is decreasing each
year because labor is very poorly
paid. There is just enough raised TO
give the occupation a name. The
carly potato crop is very poor, the
potatoes are very small. The late
ones seem to be doing better. but |

what we can do. We Germans did
not want war, but the enemy must see

read in your papers that, the
Americans have great sympathy for
our just cause. You have read, I do
not doubt that up TO this time, we
have won several good battles The
Belgian and English armies are al
most entirely defeated. From Bel
GUM the Germans have captured
Lutteick, Brussels, Namur. beside 9TH
er cities and a large piece Of territory.
After defeating the Belgians. the Ger
man army pressed on toward Paris
and that city is hearing the roar of
the cannons. Also on the boundary
of Alsace Lorraine. the Germans have
made advances, and with good sue
cess. a big battle took place back Of
the city Of Metz in which the French
greatly OutnUmbered the Germans,
but suddenly the French caunOns
ceased firing. They were reloaded
but for some reason, could not be
made 10 fire Thus the Germans were
enabled TO overpOwer the French and
take many captives. From this bat
tie we saw that God is on our side,
else we would have been lost. God
has granted our soldiers many a vic
tory and we will pray that He lead
us in many more. our enemy is
much stronger than we, and if God
does not stand by US, we will be lost
Up to this time over 100000 Rus
slams. $1,000 French and 5000 Eng
lish have been taken captive beside a
great many Belgians. The French
officers. who are captives, are sur
prised that there are so many sol
diers in the reserves in Germany
when all the French soldiers are in
the field.
Our soldiers all wear gray uniforms
and are therefore not easily seen in
the field. That is fortunate for us.
The French, who dislike and fear the
Eavarian soldiers, are looking for
them dressed in their old blue uni
forms, but, thank goodness, they too
are in gray.
Since the war has begun. there are
more soldiers here in HOrdt. than
there are in Germesheim in times of
peace. and they are always being sent
TO the front Beside this. nothing
unusual is noticed here except that
two French aeroplanes have passed

Copper Rod Around World
Would Regulate Electric
Flow, He Believes.

r ONDON, Jan. 2s.-European
scientists are seriously con-
I sidcring the merits of the
theory recently offered by
Sir Oliver Lodge, in which he di-
vulged plan to control the
weather by harnessing the electric
rays from the sun.
Sir Oliver assumes that the sun
discharges on the earth a mixture
of ions charged with positive and
negative electricity, but the. mag
netic poles coax the positive por-
tion to the polar regions, where
they arc wasted giving pyrotech hnic
displays like the aurora a-borealis.
while the warmer climes get the
benefit only of the negative ions.
He advocates the placing of cop
per rod around the earth parallel
to the equator, which would dis
charge millions Of amperes, thus
correcting the present climatic
vagaries due TO the waywardness Of
the magnetic poles.
In default of the copper bar, Sir
Oliver suggests powerful general
ing stations be erected on high
mountains and discharge all the
positive electricity they can pro-
duce into the air.
