value Of cooperation Of the American
farmers and continued:
There is risk that the shortage OF
food may strain endurance TO the
breaking point. There il as yet no in
dication that we even have distantly
approached that point, but endurance
might snap if. for instance. the milk
supply failed through inability TO feed
the dairy herd, because then lives of
little children would be threatened.
Thus there is a greater question IN
volved in food supply than the loss OF
ordinary comforts of life or even re-
duction in its accustomed necessarles.
For this reason it is welcome relief
10 us to know that the farmers of the
United States are cooperating with the
Allies. that they are bringing into their
work the spirit of self-sacrifice and
endurance and that they are deter
mined to put out the last ounce Of their
strength TO win the war and on the
plough lands of the United States. Here
and there. God speed the plough"

Spanish Seamen Paid
By Germany to Spy
On Shipping of Allies
From The Tribune Bureau

Washington. June 26.-Spanish sea,
men in large numbers are beng pald
bv Germany for intelligence regarding
the movements of Allied shipping, &C
cordino, TO information gathered by the
British secret service.
Wives of Spanish seamen are dressing
beyond their means. it is reported. ana
Spanish seamen themselves are spend
ing more money than they can possibly
carr. The inference was said TO be
that these seamen are being paid by
Germany for double service. one
active, the other passive.
The active service Is the giving OF
information 70 German submarine com
manders concerning the sallings OF
Allied ships. The passive service IS the
agreement Of Spanish seamen, when
they have received quantity Of cash
from the Germans. 20 stay at home
until they have spent 10, thus further
embarrassing the shipping situation by
creating a shortage OF crews for ships.
England. II was learned to-day, has
suspected not only Spanish but sea
men Of other nationslities as well. and
especially Scandinavian seamen, of re-
ceiving brides from the Germans, al
though il has been extremely difficult
10 prove. Even the shippers OF vessels.
il is stated, have been in the pay Of
