A telegram to the Department OF
State states that the German news
regarding Americas war preparations
and are commenting on them. The
comment runs to sarcasm over what
is called American Boosting over what
she is going to do and to the giving
of reasons why she cannot accomplish
her program. The Misunderstanding

One observer during the height of
the aerial activity likened the British
squadrons to clouds of mosquitoes.
Some of the most marvellous work
was done by artillery airplanes. One
squadron of these alone, acting with
several batteries of British heavies,
succeeded in silencing seventy-two
German batteries before 6 o'clock on
at $40 o'clock in the morning. These
planes also directed the firing on the
enemy's guns en- route to the front.

thousand or more troops were observed
forming for possible counter attacks
the artillery planes directed Shoots

Serious Coal Famine.

owing to the lack of transportation
facilities, caused by deterioration of
rolling stock and the want of horses,
there was serious coal famine in al
most all the big towns of Germany
last winter. The munition factories nat
urally had to be served first, so that
there was not much left over for the
civil population.
THE people OF Berlin are already
anxiously gathering together what coal
they can in anticipation of even a greater
shortage next winter. For want of coal
many schools had to be closed In houses
with central heating plants the water
pipes froze and burst. But 1t was the
poor who felt the pinch most. Crowds
Of people in the streets stood waiting
for hours for the coal during those bit
ter days, with the thermometer twelve
degrees (centigrade) below zero. They
excited ones pity. The great cold
made them feel the lack OF fats and
nourishing foods more keenly. They
shudder at the thought that the war
may last through another winter, and
say 1t is impossible.
Yet Reventlow and his party preach
that the people be content with nothing
less than a German peace. a large war
indemnity. the coast Of Belgium, the
mineral districts of northern France and
q good slice of Russia.

claims with the mood of the German
people do So"

Escape Destruction.

So complete was the British domina-
ton Of the air along the front of at
tack that not a single one Of the British
artillery observing afrplanes was lost
during the week that the intensive
bombardment was going on. During
the battle British airplanes also at
tackled and silenced a number of enemy
machine gun positions. They also made
their usual attacks upon German anti
aircraft batteries.
Both yesterday and today British pilots
have complained at their inability to get
any considerable number of Germans to
come up to fight. The spirit of these
youthful dare devils of the air is de-
scribed by a Brilliant Canadian fiier at
tached to the British corps. who was told
he must take a day off yesterday after a
week Of steady flying, He asked permits
sion of his commander to fly thirty miles
or so down the line to lunch with friends
in one Of the Canadian divisions. This was
readily granted, but instead of flying down
along the British line he crossed far over
behind the German lines and had eight
fights on the way and brought down two

 It is profoundly imperative that We wake up to this fact: It is not cotton to make clothing that the world is crying out for, but 1t iS food-food for both man and beast. We cannot eat cotton, and while cotton will sell for money, and money will pur chase the necessities of life. but if the necessities are not to be had, the money will do us no good. If it becomes necessary We could patch up last year g old clothes and dispense with au- tomobiles and all the many lux uries we now enjoy, but we can not do without food and live.
 The old saying that He who maketh two blades of grass to grow where only one grew be fore Is a benefactor to his race contains more truth than poetry. but it is probably applied to nor nal times. Today the man who makesltwo blades of grass grow where only one grew before, Is more than a benefactor. He + truly a patriot.
 Did you make 20 bales of cot ton last year on 60 acres? Then plan to make 20 bales this year on 30 acres and devote the re- malning 30 acres 10 food crops Something like that should be the principle every one should Immediately put into practice. Plan to make two bushels of corn to where you made one last year; two bushels of potatoes (both sweet and Irish). to one last year; two bushels of peanuts to one last year; two bushels of COW peas to one last year; two tons of hay and forage to one last year; two gallons of syrup to one last year; two pounds of meat and lard to one last year. and make adequate provision for milk. butter and eggs. So mucn for the, staple articles of food that 90 to sustain both man and beast.
 Besides the above, g.ve dus attention to the vegetable gar den and the fruit orchard. and where you put up one jar of fruit, jellies. preserves and al kinds of canned vegetables, last year put up two jars this year. at least plan to do So, and dQ your best to carry through your plans.

INCREASING THE FOOD SUPPLY


 This is a day, this is time when 1t is the imperative and pa- triotic duty of every citizen to both do and say something for the good of the country The mere saying IS not worth much a.one. but 1t is the do- ing" that counts. Now. the writer is!not in position to be an actual doer of things with 1 his OWL hands, but he is in the positionLto help by argument. persuasion and warning, and in- struction, to the best of his abll- Iity. to sind1ce those who have the means and opportunity. to produce and do those things that are very greatly needed at this time.
 Sometimes it seems discredit- able to.the southern farmer that it requires a great national cri- sis like the present situation, to wake him up, and, though We may be reluctant to believe it, yet 1t Is true nevertheless.
 TheIpropaganda of crop diver sifeation in the South, or Let the South feed herself in other words, IS by no means d new thought. The same thought was urged with just as much Vehe- mence and eloquent logic 9 years ago as it is today. and the appeal has been uneeasilg all through the years. but with scant results. We hoped that the God-sent Boil. Weevil would do the work that eloqaenee and logic failed to do. Indeed, our friend the Boll-Weeyil did ac. complish much, but the Federal government taught us how to make cotton in spite of the wee vii, urging diversifcation at the same time, thinking thereby to save us forever from tho menace of all cotton" but tie govern meat authorities were mistaken. The lure Of the abHormaiIy high values af the recent past was too strong. It required world wide war and with a worldwide food famine staring us in the face to drive home the lesson.
 Now, if all the unanswerab.e logic, all the vehement eIoquence, all the instruction, all the con vincing demonstrations, all the dearly bought lessons with the consequent sutferings caused by the invasion of the Bo.l-Weevil, and the publicity resulting therefrom had really been heed. ed by the souteern farmer. the timely, urgent, and almost des- perate appeal, launched by the Federal governemnt through it's numerous agencies, led by Dr. Carl Vrooman.

Effect Of Wind Upon Sound.

One Of the government scientists
gives an interesting explanation Of the
action Of tho wind in preventing tho
spread Of sound.
Il Is, he claims, not the wind as such
that prevents sound from travelling
against 1t, but differences In tho
strength Of the wind If, for instance,
the wind ia stronger above than below
or stronger ut one side its effect viii
be to tilt the sound waves In one direc-
ton or another. Differences Of temper
AZURE In the air also cause DETECTION of
the waves of sound. Other atmos-
pherio causes exist which defect sound
from a straight course. Some Of the
sirens In this country, says this scien-
fist, produce sounds which ought theo-
retically to be audible at a distance Of
1900 miles, but, In fact, the authori-
ties are satisfied II they are heard only
two miles away. The reason for tho
discrepancy between calculation and
experiment was probably atmospheric
