BRUTE POWER.

In order to bolster up the waning
morale of the folk back home, a Ger
man military critic tells Germany the
American soldiers have nothing like
the tinesse in execution and the quick.
ness of decision that marks German
troops. He adds Americas military
contribution will be the mechanical
application of brute power.
II this war to crush Prussian mill
tarism were not such a terribly Sc
rious thing, one would feel like smil-
ing.
All Of us know the Prussian type
-heavy-handed, ponderous, SLOW
thinking, slow-moving, very method
ical, digging down into the minutest
Details We also know the American
typeSeqq9icht, alert, inervously eager,

TO sabaetaN Of the 'Prussian as excels
ing the American in fnesse and
quickness is one of the few funny
things in this world-horror
But, our power felt only in the form
of brute force The Prussian has
made his cause the very apotheosis
of brute power. 1t knows no laws of
man or God. 1t wrecks and ruins cit
les and farms, churches and schools,
non-combatant women and children,
with the same callous Indifference.
1t uses instruments of war not en-
ployed since the dark ages.
It is Prussian brute force that has
shb cked'the conscience 161 the 'An,eri-
can people and steeled fthetH ito the
point where they are determined to
see this war through at whatever
cost.
The American admires power
when applied to the arts of civiliza-
ton. He harnesses it to do the work
of the world, not to tear down and
murder.
1t is because the American idea of
the use of power is 50 radically op.
posed to the Prussian that we are in
this war to smash down this blind,
furious Prussian brute force.

CHAPTER ".

The churchyard gate was opened
and closed noisily. They both glanced
up. Stephen Strangewey was coming
slowly toward them along the tlinty
path. Louise, suddenly herself again,
rose briskly to her feet. Stephen had
apparently lost none Of his dOurness
Of the previous night. AS he looked
toward Louise, there was no mistaking
the slow dislike in his stecly eyes j.
"Your chauffeur. madam, has just
returned" he announced. HE sent
word that he will be ready to start at
one O'clock" CO.. s,.....,.,,,..s.
/. Louise. inspired to battle by the al.
most provocative hostility Of her elder
host, smiled sweetly upon him.
"You can't imagine how sorry am
to hear it, shes said. II don't know
when. in the whole course of my life,
I have met with such delightful ad-
venture or spent such perfect morn.

Stephen looked at her with level, dis
approving eyes--at her slender form in
it's perfectly fitting tailored gown; at
her patent shoes. so obviously insult
able for her surroundings. and at the
faint vision Of silk stockings.
IF might say so without appear
ing inhospitable," he remarked. with
faint sarcasm, this would seem to be
the fitting moment for your departure.
A closer examination of our rough life
up here might alter your views. If I
do not have the pleasure Of seeing you
again. permit me to wish you fare
WELL" Lsr
He turned and walked away. Louise
watched him with very. real interest.
"Do you know" she, said to John,
"there is something about your brother
a little like the prophets in the Old
Testament, in the way he sees only
one issue and clings to it. Are you,
too, Of his way of thinkingT
up to a certain point, l believe ]

do you never feel cramped-fn your
mind, I mean?-feel that you want to
push your way through the clouds
into some other life?"
II feel nearer the clouds here" he
answered simply.
They we're leaving the churchyard
now. She paused abruptly, pointing
to a single grave in a part OF the
churchyard which seemed detached
from the rest.
"Whose grave is that?'' he inquired.
He hesitated. -
ut is the grave of young girl he
told her quietly. "She was the daugh-
ter of one of our. Shepherds. She went
into service at Carlisle. and returned
here with a child. They are both
buried here"
Because of that her grave is apart
from the others?" fszz.ss S

Ieyay Saturday night, you'd not 60
hl6ydng in your bullets for foolish
sss,liwould you?
Not in war time, anyhow
Well, dollars buy bullets. Your
pay envelope is. full of bullets.
There's only one direction in which
to shoot bullets now-at the German
despotism.
Every bullet in America is needed
at the front.
You know that, surely. Then don't
shoot any bullets in any other direc.
ton.
Make every dollar count in the war!
That means no wasting of dollars.
And no wasting of pennies, either,
for dollars are made of pennies.
Get the saving habit Salt your
money away-not in sock or a hole
in the ground, but in a place where
it can work.
Nobody buries bullets. Bullets are
only good when they are put in guns.
Put your money where it can shoot.
Put 1t in bank Give it chance.
Don't handle any of it loosely.
Save it!
We are at war and war is no funny
business. You have no more right to
be reckless and careless with your
money than anybody else has. This
is Everyman's war and it's up to lit
tie old Mr.. Everyman to buckle down
and do his best.

Americans had not known, until the
test came, how rich they were in
either of these respects.
The war has already done more
permanently to increase the yield per

10 years of propaganda by the fer

threatens, she tempts with unheard-

AS soon as Uncle Sans embargo
gets into good working order there
not only will not be any surplus food
in the neutral countries; there will
actually be such a food scarcity that
they will all have to 60 on ration

For America and her allies are not

neutral nations to eat three square

man autocracy. ;. .,..-
1t is not considered at all unlikely
in diplomatic circles here that Amer
ica's embargo policy will force the
neutrals, one by one into the war
against Germany.
1t is argued that the neutral
statesmen will very soon see that
this is literally world war, in which
every nation must choose one side
or the other and bear it's full share
OF the burden or be crushed between
the two great contending forces.
There is not one of the neutrals that
is anywhere near self-sustaining from
the standpoint of food. They are all
absolutely dependent on the Allies
for the shipping to bring it to them.
The situation of such neutrals as
Holland, Denmark, Sweden and Nor
way is, to say the least, unenviable.
What the future may have in store
for them no man can even guess.
But then, so far as that goes, the
same may be said of the belligerent

HARVESTING AND STORING
S0YBEANS.

The soybean has two faults that
must be guarded against by seed grow
ers. The grain skaters easily from the
pods if the crop is not cut at the prop
er time. The grain molds easily after
thrashing if not thoroughly dry and
if not properly stored.
Small quantities of seed for home
supply may be saved by pulling the
plants and Immediately striking them
over a wagon bed covered with stats.
A Slated box on a sled will serve the
same purpose. In using this simple
method, wait until the pods are dry
and the leaves have fallen. Run the
seed through a tanning mill.
Soybeans are harvested for seed
with several kinds of machines, such
as the scythe, the mower with a side
delivery attachment, the ol~dfashion
self-rake reaper, and the common garin
binder. Besides there are specially
constructed machines which harvest
and thresh at the same time.
With any of these machines except
the combined harvester and thresher,
the best time to cut is when about
t~hree-fourths of the leaves have fall
en-, and most of the pods have turned
color. When cut too early, the beans
cure improperly; when too late they
shatter.
When cut with scythe, with mower
and attachment, or with self-rake rea-
per, the beans are raked Immediately
into small piles or shocks to remain
four or five days. If it rains, the piles
should be watched carefully and turned
frequently, if necessary. The use of a
hay shocking frame is the best insur-
ance against loss in wet weather.
If the beans are tall and erect the
grain binder can be used to bind the
crop in small bundles which are shock
ed like wheat, in straight rows.
When beans are fairly dry on the
pod, they may be hauled under shelter
or threshed Immediately from the
field. Small amounts may be threshed
with a fail. A careful thresherman
may adjust an ordinary grain separa-
tor so that the beans may be threshed
with but very little splitting. He may
reduce the speed of the cylinder by in
creasing the size of the cylinder pulley
or he may use a special set Of thin
~concaves, or he may remove the con-
caves entirely, as conditions require.
Threshed beans must be stored dry
to avoid heating. The best plan is to
spread them out thinly on a floor until
they are thoroughly dry, shoveling
them over if necessary. The beans
may be put in bags, which should be
stored in such a way as to allow good
circulation Of air.
