Professor Grisdale says that 90 bushels
to the acre win be the yield in the north

yield in Alberta will be excellent.
''1he oat crop as a whole in the west

AvERsE TO THE SHOVEL.
American Soldiers in France Don't Like
The Idea of Digging In.

American training camp in France
Aug 25.--(by the Associated Press -
One of the greatest problems American
officers have before them is impressinr
upon their men the absolute Importance
of learning the best ways of keeping
under cover.
The American soldier is not natural
"digger-in" He is much like his Cana
dian brother-in-arm in that respect.
1t is the American spirit as ii was
that of the Canadian to upstake and
fight, but the world war has long since
passed that stage, and now in the long
tion the best commander is the one who
best eonserves his men by keeping them
under cover.
One, of the greatest reasons why the
Germans still are in France and Bel
GUM is their wonderful facility for dig
ging themselves in. They have perfect
passion for il and an incentive is well,
for the allied artillery never ceases to
pound them day and night.
The German belief that they can dig
faster than modern army can advance
is one of the principles of their defen-
sive tactics. Notwithstanding all that
has been told along this line, notwith-
standing the heroic efforts to arouse
his enthusiasm over the pick and shovel,
the American shoveler has remained de-
cidedly lukewarm. He came to France
to fight the Germans, he says and not to
dig hole and look at them through a
spy glass.
1t is purely a matter Of temperament
and there seems 10 be little doubt NOW
that only actual battle experience viii
convince American soldiers that the abil-
ity to take advantage of any bit OF COW
er is one of the greatest assets the mod
ern man at arms can have.
1T seems a shame to have to curb

troops" said an American training Off

clock war. The men must advance in
given time and go no further. Every
step of infantry advance must first be

plan is arranged it must be strictly ad-
lered to-"
The natural fighting man, it seems,
mas natural antipathy to digging in.
Even in these late months of war Brit
sh Tommies would rather remain above
ground and stand chances Of getting
lilled by shells than dig the deep dug

Fighting from shell holes also is an
Irt and one that Americans must learn

here from Rome say that prominent per-
sons at the Vatican, interpreting the pa
pal peace note, assert that Pope Bene-
dict believes an indemnity is necessary
for the restoration Of Belgium and north
ern France, and also that the pope takes
the view that the restoration of Serbia
is essential, but did not mention II in his
note, as he believed the whole Balkan
question could be dealt with more eifec-
lively by negotiation as a separate prob
lem
From the same source IL is said that
issuance of the peace note was preceded
by unofficial conversations with promi-
nent Germans in an endeavor TO obtain
Germanys consent to provisions for res
toration of invaded territories.

Urge Putting Cost of

Washington, Aug 25.--While the Sen
ate tentatively agreed yesterday to dou

ida, prepared to press an amendment tC
the revenue bill to raise the exemptions
for married and unmarried men,
In this way, he said, the Senate could
meet the growing demand from the
country for CONSUMPTION of wealth
Thousands of letters and kilograms were
received by senators yesterday urging
that those who can afford TO pay the
larger share should bear the cost OF
war.
Senator Trammell would fix exemp-
tions at $1,000 for unmarried men and
5000 for married men, as against ST.
900 and $1,000 respectively in the finance
aommittee's bill and $4,000 and $4,000
IN the existing law.
my amendment would give young
men starting out a fair chance and
would save married men of moderate
means from an unbearable burden in
these times of high living cost" said
Trammell.
Senator Kenyon, Iowa, said; The
rich must be made to pay the S200,O00,-
900 which the committee bill would ex-
act in taxes on tea, coffee and sugar
and through other consumption taxes"
Efforts were made yesterday to eff
feet a compromise ON the war tax bill.
The plan, subscribed to by many
friends of the committee measure and
''conscriptionists, is as follows; Elimi
nation of all consumption taxes; increase
the amount to be raised by the bill to-
$3.50, 100000; supply the consumption
tax deficit and the general tax increase
by heavier draft upon incomes and war
profits.
"A number of lis have agreed that
public sentiment demands larger share
of the financial burden of the war be laid
on wealth and that the common people
be relieved of additional taxation on
necessaries of life" said Senator King
of Utah. heretofore supporting the com
mittee bill
He predicted passage OF the amend
ment introduced by Senator Hollis, in
creasing surtaxes on incomes to provide
5000, 900, 900 more than is raised by the
committee bill.
Several senators who voted Thurs |
day against La Follette's amendment, |
said they would support the Hollis
plan.
The Hollis amendment accepts the
Gerry provision adopted by the Senate
and which hits incomes of 100000 to
81 100000 and greater. 1t also accepts
the finance committee schedules on in
comes from s. 900 to $4,000. Between
s42, 800 and $4,000 it adopts La Fol
lettes schedule and inserts new in
creases from $4,000 to 100000, thus
appealing to all factions in the fight.
Senator Simmons, in charge of the rev.
enue bill, admitted yesterday that he
expects increases in the taxes wealth
must pay.
