METHOD TO SAVE
SAVE
CBy United Press.)

WASHINGTON, Aug. 23-Unele sam
has been forced to employ pro-German
ethod to save Americas cabbage
crop. The emergency bureau of the de-
partment OF agriculture today reported
that tremendous rains have given US q
whopper cabbs ge crop and that unless
thousands Of heads Of it are at once
turned into s~auer-kraut it viii be lost.
Despite the fact that we're at war
with Germany. sauer-kraut is so popu-
lar in this country that the price has
taken a big jump. 1t is an easy and
exceedingly profitable way to handle
surplus cabbage.
List year $1,000, 900 worth of cab
bage went the sauer-kraut route.

that there were thousands of men and
women at home as anxious as he, but
unable to make such a personal investi-
cation. The result was the ~organiza-
ton Of the searchers' department.
The hospitals are the principal scene
OF the searchers work. with a book con-
tanning the names Of men missing for
many months they make the rounds,
following up clues and suggestions that
may lead to the clearing up Of the in
dividual mysteries. The work requires
tact and intelligence and, above all, pa
thence.

ABRAHAM LINCOLN.

youths only strengthened the young
education. he forged his way ahead
until In 1846 he was sent to Con-
gress. When the slavery question
arose Lincoln enrolled himself heart
and soul upon the mo extension"
side and became known as one Of
the anti-slavery movements stanch-
est supporters. Avoiding the radi-
cal.hysterical methods Of the ex-
treme Abolitionists, he was never
theless firm champion of liberty,
and sprang quickly to prominence
In the new Republican party. When
that party elected him President In
1860. the South, knowing his strong
ideas on the slave question. almost
at once withdrew from the Union.
Lincoln replied to the Secessionists:
You can have no conflict without
being yourselves the aggressors!"
Then came the Civil War. And for
the next four years Lincoln endured
the most trying position ever forced
on an American. He had not even
George Washington's consolation Of
knowing, In darkest hours, that his
fellow-countrymen loved and be-
lieved In him. The South and many
Northerners regarded him as tyran-
nical oppressor. The more rabid, ex-
citable faction at the North fiercely
condemned his conservative calm in
refusing to be swept off his feet In
the general delirium and uproad.
Those who mistook Mysteries for pa
triotism doubted his ability and even
his loyalty.
For the mistakes Of the War De-
partment, for the failures of the
Union generals, for the humiliating
defeats caused by incompetent Jacks
In ONCE, Lincoln received the full
blame. Because he worked out his
great plans with the quiet slowness
necessary for their success he was re-
viled as inefficient and lazy. A large
part OF the English speaking world
sneered at his awkward, countrified
manners and Knocked his ugly, gen.
tie face. His homeliness, his huge,
lean figure. the uncouth vulgarisms
that he had not been able to shake
eh-thess and other defects were the
targets for Jokes, contempt. denun-
citation.
Through II all Lincoln pursued his
calm, answering course, toward the
goal he had set himself-the goal OF
. free. united American nation. Deaf
to abuse and scorn, holding the wild
radicals back, urging the timid con-
ssrvatives forward, guiding the Ship
Of State through hurricanes that
hourly threatened to swamp It, the
President continued along his chosen
line. He selected the exact "psy-
Geological moment" for freeing the
slaves; q moment when the move
meant everything to the Union cause.
England and France more than once
seemed about to take sides with the
South. Lincoln's consummats tact

tive Offices are now. Mr.. Lincoln
was bent on his mighty visit to Sec
rotary Stanton at the War Depart
ment. ! stole glance up at him,
at the homely face rising so far
above me. The strength of il is
not lessened In my memory by what
would seem to me now the grotesoue
setting Of rough shawl and silk hat.
That night" as / said, l was
little nervous. The President no.
ticed 1t. He seemed to know how I
felt, too. ! had fallen into line be-
hind him, but he motioned me to
walk by his side. The statesman who
came to consult him, those who had 1t
in their power to influence the policy
Of the party which had chosen him,
never had the consideration from Mr..
Lincoln that he gave the humblest
of those who served him.
"A few strides OF the Presidents
long legs-a few more of mine
brought US to the old-fashloned turn
stile that divided the White House
grounds from the enclosure Of the
War Department. Mr.. Lincoln
talked, In his soft low voice, chiefly
about the reception through which
he had just gone.
" i am glad It is over he said.
II ventured to ask IL he was tired.
Yes, 1t does tire me to shake
hands with so many people, he ans
wered. Especially now when there
is so much other work to do. And
most OF the guests come out of mere
curiosity
with these words and the half
sigh which followed we entered the
east door of the War Department.
In those days that was a small, mean,
two-story building, just In front of
the Navy Department. We went i'm
mediately to Mr.. Stanton's Office.
which was on the second floor, on
the north 'front.', and overlooked
Pennsylvania Avenue and the White
House. There, at the door, waited
for him until his conference with
Secretary Stanton was over. Then I
accompanied him back to the White
House. From the moment Mr.. Lin
coin spoke to me so kindly I felt at
home In my new duties. / never
lost the feeling which came then
that while the President was so
great, he was my friend. The White
House never awed me again."
