WHAT THE BRITISH PRESS
THINK OF OUR SOLDIERS

London, Sept. l5.-The American SOL
dier is new type to the English, and
they are still marveling over the race
that their former colony is producing.
The appearance of a Sammy is al
ways the signal for craning of necks
and interested comment. Here are
some of the things the London news
papers are saying about that strange
breed, the American Sammy:
"Men of the typical American ply,
sique-staunch, hefty, clean cut, built
for pace and power alike.'
"Nearly all of them had the brown
keen-eyed faces of open-air men. They
walk with that easy, careless vigor
contemptuous Of polish. In the west
the human unit is a man and horse
and they are never quite reconciled
to walking.'
"Many of them come straight from
the west and wear pistols swinging
handily at their hips,'' says another
reporter, who has evidently gained hi:
impression of westerners from the Am
erican wild-west movies.

DO NOT BURN THE LEAVES

The Colorado Springs Gazette prints
the following very sensible editorial
which Glenwood people would do well
to heed:
With the coming of the first frost
and the cold autumn winds that bare
the trees of their foliage and strew
the streets and lawns inches deep with
dried, cracking leaves, residents of
the city plan their annual campaign
of raking and burning to clear their
premises of the "mess.'
"Last spring, The Gazette inaugur,
ated a grow-a-garden campaign which
was carried out during the summer
with unusual success by the people Of
the city. The results more than JUST.
fled the time and labor spent on cu!.
tivation, and the fact was unqueston,
ably proved that Colorado Springs and
Ell Paso county have great possibilities
in an agricultural way. Good gardens
were produced without any previous
work on the garden plots, or any previ,
Gus experience on the part Of the gar.
deners. With little care of the land
the gardeners next summer can i'm
prove much on the quantity and quail
ity of even the fine gardens raised
during this last season.
"Plans are being made to conduct
the garden campaign on greater and
broader lines next year. And in an
ticipation of this-and the evergrow-
ing need of good gardens for the coun.
trys welfare-care should be taken
in the preparation of the ground to re.
ceive the seeds in the spring. Agri-
cultural experts tell us that there is
no better fertilizer than leaves, if they
are placed on the ground in the fall
and allowed to mould and decay dur.
ing the winter months. Other coun.
tries, and even other states in our own
country, have long made use of leaves
for this purpose. In the great middle
west, the farming center of the nation
no leaves are burned; no leaves are de-.
stroyed. They are all carefully gath
cred and distributed over the ground
as fertilizer for the coming summer
crops.
"Now that we have proved the
value Of this region as an agricultural
center and demonstrated the possibili-
ties of the district as vegetable field,
we owe it to the nation g conservation
plan to improve the ground and make
it as fertile as possible. Now, there
are various ways in which our national
resources can be conserved, but no cas-.
ier one than the proper use of dead
leaves. 1t is small thing, but it IS
an important way in which we can all
help the national garden growth along.
1t is just as easy to gather the leaves
and distribute them over the garden as
it is to gather them into heaps for
burning. They make no obnoxious
smoke when they are left to decay in
the garden. and there is no danger Of

cool and confident, to send forth other
messages for the German war lords.
incidentally America is inditing
some further epistles which also may
reach the understanding at Berlin. An
Associated Press dispatch states that
twelve of the seized German merchant
ships will be ready for service within
little more than a week. They will be
placed in operation Immediately and
will help considerably in offsetting the
havoc which the submarines have
wrought with American shipping.
Yesterday, twenty steamers, which
had successfully run Germany's sub
marine blockade. entered the port of
New York. Among them were four of
the largest merchantmen af1oat, one
being British craft on it's maiden
voyage. These steamers make avail
able about $4,000 tons Of space for
cargo that is awaiting shipment to
Europe. ''
1t is apparent from this informa-
ton, which was allowed to slip through
the censorship on shipping news, that
Germany's submarine blockade is far
from the success that the German war
lords hoped.

THE EAST APOLOGIES.

The east is beginning to realize that
it made a mistake when it criticized
the middle west Of the United States
severely because it failed to display
as much advance enthusiasm as some
of the other sections of the land.
Illinois is a typical central western
state and it has been leading all the
other commonwealth in recruiting for
the regular army.
North Dakota is also doing its "bit"
in the recruiting line. and so are Min
nesota. Montana and South Dakota.
Hundreds of men have gone or are
going from these states to join the
navy. the marines or the army, and
hundreds. yes thousands more will go
in the immediate future.
These facts are being noted in east
ern papers. and they acknowledge that
their judgment has been hasty and their
criticism uncalled for.

GREAT NATIONAL
REIMBURSEMENT NEEDED.

The nation has been dallyinE with
the '"back to the land" movement for
a number of wears in a rather half
, hearted manner. Men Of vision, the
modern prophets Of this generation,
have warned us that there was a COM
ing crisis in the food supply. Some
have laughed them to scorn. while the
great majority have been indifferent,
which is worse.
A few brainv. far-siehted business
men have realized the need and they
have wisely made provision, so far as
, they were able. by inaugurating the
better farming and county agent sys-
tenn throughout the country.
But not even the men Of broadest
vision and keenest perception guessed
that the acute stage would be reached
so suddenly and so Unexpectedly. The
war has brought the situation to a
head much sooner than 1t would have
come under normal conditions. 1t is
probable. in fact. that under normal
conditions the situation would never
have been allowed to become acute.
Now that the crisis is here the time
for theorizing is past this is the time
for action and it is imperative that it
be prompt, energetic and efficint.
AS The Forum pointed out yester-
day, it is more than a problem of one
crop. Every acre which can be put
under cultivation this year must be
made to produce to the utmost limit
of its capacity. else the world faces
the fearful alternative of actual
famine. That is the stark outstand-
ing truth which the farmer Of the
northwest is called upon to face. But
the ~sad fact is that much of the
fertile prairie land of the northwest
will be untouched by the plow this
wear. while in many of the eastern
states farmers will be tilling small
patches of the earth that will not yield
on the average more than one-sixth
of the food value that can be produced
in North Dakota for the same amount
of labor expended.
Crop statistics show that one man,
with modern machinery. can and does
nroduce as much wealth from North
Dakota soil in one year as is produced
by six men farming in the New Eng
land states. New York. Pennsylvania
and MANY other eastern states.
The nation needs an immediate and
drastic reimbursement of its population,
and the best brains available in the
nation should be applied to the task Of
bringing it to pass.

WHOLE WORLD RINGS.

British papers with comments on
President Wilson's speech have ar
rived in America, and the elation which
was naturally to be expected is placed
secondary to the thought Of high
idealism which the British recognize
as the underlying motive for Amer
lean participation in the war.
The London Times comments:
1.-THE old world and the new are
ringing with the speech in which
President Wilson has called upon con-
gress to declare that Germany has
made war upon the United States. All
men may we'll be filled with an event
which is certain to influence their
destinies on both sides of the Atlantic
for generations to come. None greater,
except the war itself, has happened
since the French revolution shattered
the traditions of feudalism in Europe.
The wisest of thinkers must shrink
from any attempt to forecast the ulti-
mate effects upon both worlds of in
tervention by America in great
European struggle.
THE cause in which America draws
the sword and the grounds on which
! her president justifies the momentous
step that he has taken are auguries
that the final outcome will be for the
happiness and for the welfare of man
kind. That is the high aim which Mr..
Wilson has not shrunk from propos-
ing to the peaceloving people whom
the Germans have vainly imagined to
be a nation of materialists, sunk in
the pursuit of degraded pleasures and
of sordid gains. We doubt If in all
history a great community have ever
been summoned to war on grounds so
largely ideal. Mr.. Wilson is indeed de-
tending American commerce, but it is
not to prevent, and still less to avenge.
the German attacks upon this COM
merce that he bids his countrymen
make war. He summons them to up
hold American rights, but to uphold
them as rights that belong to all man
kind, and because it is only by vindi-
eating them that the foundations can
be laid for the fabric of universal
peace which he would help to rear. The
goal may be remote; it may even be
deemed too bright and glorious for at
tainment in this imperfect world; but
Mr.. Wilson proves by setting 1t be-
fore them, his faith in the profound
ldealism of the American people"
