BY MILTON BRONNER,

Washington, July 6.-Military men
and travellers here familiar with the
situation in the Balkans are confident
that if the allies determine upon a
real offensive lnorthward from Mon
astir, the abdication Of King Constan-
tine of Greece and the return to pow
er Of former Premier Venizelos make
the job about 100 per cent easier.
Some strategists hold the real key
to winning the war is in campaign
through Serbia, with the idea of cut

road. =, .~ts.a%3%, -" l.--
Worry about the allied flank and
rear kept the armies under Gen. Sar-
rail marking time for months in north
ern Greece Command of the Greek
situation improves the case in three
particulars: :"
1.-The allies can land men, food
and munitions at Western Greek ports
near the heel of Italy, involving a
sea trip of but few hours, instead
Of. the seven day trip from Marseilles
to Salonika through the submarine
infested Aegean sea.
2-The allies no longer need fear
what Greek army under Constan-
tine might have attempted to do.
3-If they choose, the allies can
commander the wheat supplies of
the rich plains of Thessaly.
At present the allies have a line
between $50 and 300 miles. 1t runs
from Axalona, Albania. to Lake Och
rida, to Monastir in Serbia, over to
Lake Dorian and then to the gulf of
Kavala, where tho trenches face Ka>

Bulgarians by command of Constan-
tine.

At Uskub they would be astride a
railroad that leads directly to Nish
They could then either follow this
railroad to Nish or go across the pla-
teau to Sofia.
Capture OF either of these cities
would cut the railroad between Ber-
lin and Constantinople. This would
cut off Turkish grain from shipment
to Germany, and would prevent the
Turks getting ammunition from Ger

Bulgaria, for largely the same rea-

place of this kind is very much
needed in and around Bismarck

The place is newly built up and
in manner to last, so very little
improvements will be needed for
years to come. There is enough
sand and gravel on the place to
build another Bismarck. From
these beds of sand and gravel [

tractors and builders in Bismarck
and vicinity as well as shipping it
away to out-of-town parties,
which pays one good yearly re-

Some man who has vision
enough to see more than a year

clean up a fortune in a very few
years.

ranch every advantage for the

they do well on alfalfa.

med had persisted out Of the
earth with the Middle Ages OF
ignorance, brutality and bestial
unreason.
No nation threatened Germany
no nation contemplate war with
Germany ;and, having made ready
for 10 years it was Germany who
struck, choosing the moment
when she believed Europe most
utterly and universally unpre-
pared.
You are not, then, fighting for
Germany, as you believe, but for
the reactionary creed and insen-
safe ambition Of your reignlng
caste: and the longer you fight
and the more generously you die
! for that reigning caste, SO much
! the worse for your unhappy coun-
/ try and all humanity. Germany s
salvation, in common with civil
zation, lies along the road OF
peace, and the more swiftly she
makes that peace the better for
her must be the terms Of it.
If therefore, you would indeed
fight for Germany, as the French
are fighting for France, if you
would march in the van rather
than the rear of human progress
take thought and consider what
most your country needs today.
1t is the good will Of the whole
earth, now denied you; it is
friendship, instead of universal
loathing; the hand Of your fellow
man. instead Of his back: his bles-
sing. instead of his curse.
Your Chancellor has told us to
look at the map. We ask you to
looI: at it, and find your friends
on it. You stand alone against
the round world, because, against
the round world, YOU are support
ING a principal Of human polity
that has persisted from all chan
cellories but your own.
No longer can the nations be
slaves, either to other nations or
to their rulers and Germany S at
tempt to impose herself upon
other nations and to bestride the
earth like colossus, is an idea
Of vanished civilization. when the
daWnineculture Of mankind still
stood surrounded by huge and
barbarous majorities.
You are greater than your lead
ers; be wiser, too. Declare their
lust Of dominion unjustifed
proclaim their theory Of govern
ment a survival Of evil times
cease to destroy the women and
children Of Belgium and France
Servia and Rumania; but use

Of butchers ;claim your own Ii
heritance, proclaim your own
resolute endeavor tosave your
Fatherland from the desolation
OF this new ice cap now creeping
over her. Save your lives for
the honor and welfare of your
country, and sacrifice them no
longer to a false principle, a false
theory Of human progress and
false and procured throne.
You are fighting for the vie
tory Of death. Lift your eyes to
the light and learn that yours
IS still the power to save Ger
many from the forces Of destruc-
ton that have thrust her into
such deadly peril. But look for
those forces in her heart, not on
her frontier.

WHY SHOULD WE BUY LIB
ERTL BONDS?

Because this is the war for an
ideal, and the true Battle-Ground
IS the soul Of America.
Because to win we must all
heilt-every man woman and
chlld-slnce the boundaries Of
this Republic are the aspirations
OF It's citizens, and the whole ma
ton IS contained in the heart of
every American.
Because we are soldiers, one
and all, and to be victorious we
must give ourselves to the cause
OF our country which is the cause
OF humanity and Of the future.
Because the Liberty Bond is the
symbol Of freedom.
Because we who stay at home
may prove our patriotism, our

dream Of a world made free from
oppression.
Because to oversubscribe this
loan would be to cast a verlta bic
shower Of gold on the affairs Of
Liberty.
And so let us begin today. Let
us begin with courage, with
feryor. and with the sacred joy
that belongs by right to a nation
Of freemen.

Soldiers of Germany, what are
you fighting for; your country
or your King? asks Eden Phil
potts, writing in The London
Chronicle.
You cannot be fighting for both
since the welfare OF your King
now means the ruin Of your cOun-
try and the welfare Of your coun-
try implies participation in that
great advance toward liberty and
democracy now foreshadoWed in
the face Of Europe Only by de
prlvlng your reigning class and
relgnlng house Of the power they
have so terribly abused can the
FatherIand share in that advance.
Of us ALL you and your allies
alone support the feudal system
In Europe, Austria, that Kingdom
Of shreds and patches clings to an
archaic constitution, and the
young Turks, who have learned
all they know Of government
from Prussia, seek still to triumph
by those obsolete principals
Against YOU stands the world.
It is true that England and Italy
are not Republics; but their mon
arch> exist to echo the people s
will, not to impose their will up
on the people. The King Of Euc-
land and the King Of Italy poss-
ess less personal power than the
President Of the United States
OF America.
We Go not believe you are
fighting for dead principles, then
or for government and cOnsti-
tuition constructed for slaves
You will see to that after the war,
you say. But the war solely de-
ponds upon you. The probable
peace terms are IN your power tt

We believe that it is for Ger.
many you are fighting, and ask
you Whv?' To save her from
the destruction planned For hel
ruthless enemies? It is lie

prove it is lie. Does a naked
man set out to destroy one cover

France, Russia and Italy haC
plotted to destroy your Father

HIGHWAY MAN
LAUDS OVERLAND

In connection with a recent trip
of inspection which he made over
the Cincinnati-to-C Chattanooga divis-
ion of the Dixie highway, V. D. l..
Robinson, secretary of the Dixie
Highway association, pays a splen-
did tribute to the performance of
the Overland Country Club, the Of
ficial D. H. A. car.
In the counties of Laurel and
Rockcastle, KY, where the highway
has not been completed, Mr.. Robin
son found it necessary to make sew
eral almost impossible detours along
mountain trails. The Country Club,
however, made the trip without a
mishap of any kind and with only
one blow out, due to worn tire
being cut to pieces on the rocks.
The progress being made by the
committee in raising $4,000, to be
used with a like amount furnished
by the state highway department of
Kentucky for the removal of this last
barrier of five miles between Rock
castle river and Livingstone, indi-
Gates, it is said, that all financial ar
rangements for the completion of the
road will have been made within 80
days.
1.-THE mountain counties of Ken
lucky and Tennessee seem to have
grasped the bigness of the Dixie
Highway idea in way which would
put some of the valley communities
to shame" said Mr.. Robinson. 1t
sends a thrill through you to see
miles of wonderfully well-construct-
ed road along easy grades and curv-
es winding in and out through the
mountains.
"In the uncompleted portions Of
the highway, our Overland Country
Club had to be as sure-footed and as
agile as the mountain goat. We
would climb up one side of the noun
tain, only to drop down on the other
side, travelling almost continuously
on rocks, with an occasional varia-
ton of what seemed to be perpet-
ual mud hole. After a trip of that
nature, one wonders how it is pos
sible to build the modern car so fleX.
ible and so thoroughly able to with
stand such punishment, making q
trip such as we did with total ga
rage repair expense of one dollar.
However, the completion of the
highway, as now graded and laid
out will make it possible for car
to not only make the trip without
trouble, but on high gear practical.

PRUNE At THE
CORRECT Time
Only in That Way Can One
Expect To Get Highest
Yields From Fruit
pRUNE GRAPES IN JANUARY
Peaches Demand Special Attention
and Should Always Be Pruned-
Apples Pruned in Late April Or
Early May Do Well.

Grapes are best pruned before any
danger of bleeding, which results
when the vines are cut after the sap
flows. Warm weather even in Jan
uary may start the sap, and it sell
dom happens in Tennessee that Feb.
ruary does not start the sap in grape
vines.
Neglected vines are best pruned by
cutting all new growth back to one or
two buds, and leaving no new shoots,
less than eight inches apart. Where
vines are pruned every year, the prun-
ing is simple enough, but in unpruned
vines there is often long spacing
where no new wood occurs. When the
vines have become very long, with the
new growth near the ends, it is good
practice to make sharp vertical bends
in the main canes, fastening the vine
rigidly to wire trellis or stakes. Dur
ing the next season new shoots are al
most sure to spring in the curves, and
If these new shoots are pruned the fol.
lowing winter to two buds, each will
produce good fruit; or the main cane
, can be cut back to any new shoot,
on which thereafter by careful prun.
ing, we'll spaced fruiting parts can be
developed.
Some growers prefer to leave two
or four shoots of last seasons growth
to each vine, cutting back each shoot
to six to ten buds. Whatever the
method, for best results the vines
should be pruned every year and the
best time to prune is January
Peaches may be pruned at any time
while dormant, and in large orchards
the work had best be begun in De
cember in order to be sure Of finish
ing it. Never neglect peach pruning
Apples in bearing are best pruned
in late April or early May, about the
time the first leaves are full grown
This will permit the formation dur
ing the season of fruit buds for the
following year-Charles A. Keffer

versity of Tennessee, Knoxville.

SELLING HINTS FOR
BUSINESS MEN.

One of the greatest aids to sue
cessful marketing is the telephone.
Have one installed in your home and
then use it to keep in touch with the
local markets.
Neat, attractive packages are in
dispensible in marketing farm prod
ucts to the best advantage. Print
ing your name or farm name on them
advertises your products, and the ma
terial reaches customers in better
shape.
Name your farm and print that
name on letterheads and market
ing containers. Let consumers know
that the name of your farm stands
for prompt service and high class
produce.
The motor truck is great aid to
economical and satisfactory market
ing. 1t saves the time of both horses
and men and delivers products to
your customers in better condition.
Take a pencil and figure out what
it costs you to market by team, and
this may show you where you can
use truck to advantage.
When the farmer has anything to
sell, it pays to advertise, especially
in local papers. In the matter of
seeds and breeding stock, it will pay
to advertise in more widely circulat-
ed publications, if one has any guam
tity of seed or stock for sale.
When land is not over 10 miles
from a fairly large town and can be
bought cheap, it doesn't necessarily
mean that the land is worthless.
More often you will find that what
ails it" is the road leading to town
is in bad shape. Good roads mean
quick marketing and larger profits
There is not farmer in the South
who would think of sending his chill
dren to school where students, both
old and young, mature and imma.
ture, were placed in the same class
yet many do not hesitate to put lit,
tie apples and big apples in the same
barrel, wormy peaches and SOUND
peaches in the same basket, small pc.
tatoes and large potatoes in the same
bag, when they are to be sold. Prop.
err grading is just as essential tc
marketing as it is to efficient teach.
