FINDS TT SOME DAMP
IN NORTHWEST IOWA

That Rock Island county farmers are
well off compared to those in some
other places is the conviction of Van
V. Reeves Of this city after a trip into
northwestern Iowa. Mr.. Reeves has
some land there which he went to look
after. He found conditions anything
but encouraging,
Rain, he says. has fallen nearly
every day since June Is. Thousands
/ OF acres Of wheat in the fiat country
could not be harvested at all. for the
reason that horses and binders mtred.
In places where it was possible to cut
grain threshing IS now out Of the
question because traction engines can
not move over the roads. Corn Is
drowned ont in places which are not
well drained and where the land IS
rolling much of it is washed out. Three
inches Of rain fell in as many hours
one day last week.

the one in Serbia, the armies of the
Allies are intact. On the Western front
Germany has not gained a foot in the
last year; on the Eastern front she has
acquired considerable geography, but she
hasn't smashed the Russian army. Mean
time she has extended her lines 10 the
Balkans. weakening them corresponding
" in West and Eas'. Military experts
estimate that she has been losing men,
killed and seriously wounded, at the rate
of 100000 month"; and they figure that
even with the boys of the classes ma
turing in 1916 and 1917, the only human
resources she has yet to draw upon, she
will be unable to stand the strain much
longer than another year. England and
Russia alone. in the meantime, will be
able to put nearly 100000 additional
men in the field.
In the matter of munitions the Allies
at last have the ascendancy. Thanks to
the marvellous work Of Lloyd George in
organizing the war industries of tho
country, and the effective cooperation OF
Japan. not to mention the vast anC
steady stream Of supplies from America
the Allies now are prepared to throw
two shells to the encmy's one. and the
proportion is gradually increasing.
As for money, Germany is manifestlN
approaching the end of her tether
whereas the resources of the British En-
pirc. the real reserves of the Allies hav'
barely been tapped.
So, if the inning of this war is t.
pend upon men, munitions and money
Great Britain and her allies feel tina
they have small reason to view the out
look pessimistically.
