though they were chaff, until the last.
If the allies are defeated and hurled
back, and especially if the Austro-
Germans crush the Italian line, and go
down to Venice, then the heavy fight
ing is likely to cease until the spring
opens, while the allies reorganize and
the Austro Germans increase their
preparations for the spring campaign.

The general upward movement of
interest rates has been recognized by
the Federal Farm Loan Board by rails
ing the rate on government loans to
the farmer from five to five and one
half per cent, in anticipation Of a later
increase in the present four and half
per cent on farm loan bonds. The first
effect of this is likely to be a similar
or greater advance Of private mort
gage loan rates on land, which now
range from six to eight per cent.
1t is reported at the Treasury De-
partment at Washington that several
big insurance companies with heavy
loans on the middle western farm
lands have decided to make no new
loans, in order to keep assets liquid;
and that they will refuse to renew
many expiring mortgages. The Sec
retary Of the Treasury still claims to
be confident that future issues Of Lib
erty Loans would bear four per cent
the same as Of the second loan.
A letter received last week from a
Maine farmer told Of difficulties en-
countered in attempting to secure
money on splendid security to lift a
mortgage Of $500. The holder of the
mortgage refused to permit the farmer
to cut off wood to add to the fuel sup
ply Of suffering communities, unless
the mortgage was paid, and, as the
farmers money crops last year were a
total failure, he could neither make
payments on the principal nor meet the
interest on the mortgage. He felt that
he was to be squeezed because he had
last spring entered into the spirit of
patriotic planting, and had sacrificed
the labor of himself and family
throughout the season of 1917, together
with the fertilizer and high cost seed
which he used. Now he is held up
from any sort Of winter operations to
relieve his distress, by the selfishness
and narrow -mindedness of the mort
gage holder. He may lose his farm as
we'll as his years work, and. if he
holds it, he will have neither seed nor
fertilizer for ne, springs planting and
sowing.
| The increase in interest rates will
perhaps hit the farmers harder than
any other class, for investors will be
independent and available loans in
creased in cost; while the classes of
security will be more rigidly judged.

The news dispatches Of Wednesday
evening justified our claims in an edi-
torial written yesterday. and published
this morning, as to the quality of the
lighting on the west front. from the
hannel to Switzerland, and along the
southeastern front between the Aus
ito-G"rman forces. and the Italians in
italy. As We predicted. the fiercest
fghting OF the war is now taking place
o." yesterdays attack by the Prussian

provided unlimited cannon fodder for
tho allied guns The forces of the
central empires were superior in mum

the storm OF lead and iron from the

Whether the purpose Of this un-
forgiveable wickedness in the sacrifice
OF human life is TO answer the popular
demand throughout Austria and in

that the war masters make good their

the enemy. or whether it is the play
