American Church in Berlin.)
Since 1894. when made my home
in Berlin. We have not enjoyed SC
beautiful a summer as the one which
has been so rudely disturbed by the
war. The fields throughout Germany
gave promise OF more abundant har-
vests than ever before IN all the years
OF my residence. In the midst OF this
harvest the men were summoned sud-
denly from the fields TO join their
regiments. leaving the crops but par
TALLY gathered. The situation was
critical. since only the old men. wo-
men and children were left at home.
An appeal was made TO the students
and young men Of sixteen and seven
teen years OF age. to all men who
were idle. TO help gather the gifts
with which God had blessed the Ia
bors of the husbandmen. So ready
was the response tha in three days
notices were posted everywhere that
no further help was needed.

harvests were thus quickly brought
under roof and rope" as the phrase
goes. and the people rejoicej over
the abundant harvest.
The government statisticians in es-
timating the cost Of the war and the
condition Of the German treasury
have discovered that there is wealth
enough in Germany to defray the
tremendous demands OF war expendi-
lures for at least a year. The prob
lem OF supplying foor for man AMI
beast is only one OF vital Importance.
A conservative estimate establishes
the fact that the supply Is ample for
IS months. even II there should not
be an acre OF land sown or a pound
OF food imported. II is claimed by
some that the supply is much great

airy the day war was declared was
marked 1909. Many OF the thrifty
German farmers have large stores Of
wheat, oats and rye from former
years. II IS not too much, therefore.

Stains are used to change the col
