GERMAN PAPERS AVOID
COMMENT ON U. S. PLANS
Tages Zeitung, However, Retorts to
Criticism of interruption of Brand
Whitlock's Communications.

COPENHAGEN, via London. March 80
There has been a noticeable absence
of comment in the German papers of
the last few days on the news of Ameri-
can war preparations. The papers have
printed various dispatches, some from
New York and others from the Anglo
French press, but generally without
comment. The tone of the headlines
alone indicates the increasing cerutude
that war is inevitable.
The news of the recall of the Amer1-
can representatives on the Belgian re-
lief commission has. however, stirred
the editorial writer's into breaking
their service.
The Tages ZeitunG attacks the Amer
lean commissioners sharply, declaring
that they We're steadily working in
English interests and furnished regu-
lar channel for the transmission of
military news from Belgium.
This paper retorts to American criti-
cism of the interruption of Brand Whit
locks Communica tons by referring to
the alleged restrictions placed on Count
Won BernStorff'S use of the wireless by
the American government.
An inspired explanation which APP
pears in the German papers in regard
to the sinking of relief ships is that
they entered the prohibited zone, where
safe conducts are invalid.

Civil War the Greatest.

The greatest effort that the civilized
world has ever seen was made on
American soil. No nation. neither
France nor Germany, and s6il less any
other of the European nations, is
throwing today into the firing line
such a large proportion OF its popula-
ton as did the north in the American
civil war, and as did the south. as the
figures in the new Encyclopaedia Brit
annica show.
Undoubtedly the greatest effort made
by any people was that of our own
south. When the civil war broke out
she had a population of nine millions,
but of this nine millions not less than
three and a half millions We're negro
slaves, who could not fight In the
course of the war, during q period of
three years and nine months, she placed
on the firing line a total of Slightly
over one million men.
This was one in nine OF her total peo-
pie, but if the colored are excluded. be-
cause they were not allowed to fight
she put slightly more than one million
men out of total of five and a half
million population. In other words.
about one in five of her white popuia-
ton, men, women and children, entered
the ranks and fought.

Waterloo and Gettysburg.

One other point in this matter of size
Waterloo was decisive of the Napoleonic
struggle and the battle of Gettysburg
of the American civil war. At Waterloo
there We're not far from 10000 men on
each side: at Gettys burg about the
same number. In comparison with the
vast aggregate of troops engaged in
Europe at present. these figures seem
small, but in comparison with many
of the most important battles that have
ever been fought, the numbers are
large.
the new Encyclopaedia Britannica OF
the numbers engaged in the fifteen bat
ties commonly considered the fifteen de
csiVe battles of the world" one finds
that only two or three We're fought by
greater numbers than at Waterloo and
Gettysburg, and several much smaller.
AT Hastings, William the Conqueror
where European civilization was saved,
the Greeks had but 200, and at Sara
toga, where the decisive battle of the
revolution was fought, each side had
less than 10000. The Roman armies
which conquered the ancient world
which England won India could be
placed in the present European lighting
lines without ones knowing the differ
ence.
1t will be seen, therefore, that mere
numbers are not of prime importance.
a fight between two featherWeightS is
just as real as, and in fact probably
two heavyweights. Americans may well
be proud that the two greatest efforts
made in the modern world were those
of the north and south in our civil war.

The record of the south is without
parallel in civilized warfare. What
makes it the more astonishing is that
the south, being entirely agricultural
was not prepared, and that the north
ern blockade, stopping the incoming of
supplies OF every kind, was a constant
and serious handicap.
The population of the north in 1860
was 2l,un0, GOO In the course of the war
she put into the field 5000, 900 men. This
was one in seven of the total popula-
ton. a number considerably greater
than any of the European nations has
yet thrown into the firing tine.
The European war has now lasted
two years and seven months. If the
war lasts another fourteen months (by,
which time the duration of the Euro
pean war will equal the civil War)
large number of additional men Will
be called upon to do their bit" as the
English say: but ii is improbable that
it will bring the figures to one in

six million; Russia, twenty-four mill

Your farmer has revolutionized
farming methods. Like the American

The result is that he has the most mod

There is no denying that the Ameri-

LAND VALUES GOING UP

Governmental statistics gathered
IN the State of Washington show
that farm land is rising in value at
the rate of about four per cent per
year. That means that every year
the farmer must make more money
per acre, it means that the farmer
must pay more attention to the bus
mess side of farming. Farmers are
meeting the. rising prices of farm
land by making farming a business.
Farm bookkeeping methods are no
longer a thing of the past on farms.
Farmers who can tell exactly what
they make during the year are no
longer rare. Every year forces farm
ers to be better business men. Farm
ing is a business, businesses need
careful study, farmers must study
their farm business in order to be
successful.
