THE SOUL OF AMERICA.
Hugo 'Munstsrbers's Own Story Of His
First Glimpse of L.

First Glimpse Of lt.
In the Century is published the one
completed chapter In the unfinished
autobiography of Hugo Munsterberg.
The first delighted impressions of the
young German professor are Of espe-
cial interest since In the twenty-five
years following he strove to interpret
Germany to America, America to Ger
many.
II remember as If It were yesterday
our first Cambridge party. At the
threshold Of the new academic year
Professor Norton and his family had
invited some scores Of friends to greet
the new professors. It had been her
aided to us as the chief festival event
of the Cambridge season. The quaint,
dignified home on the hill was dimly
illumined by the mellow light Of q few
shaded lamps. There was some coffee
and some lemonade, few tiny brown
bread sandwiches and, I think, some
ice cream.
81 had not dined at home that night
in the expectation of the glorious feast,
with an abundance Of courses and
wines as at such evening parties in
Germany. and yet when we drove
home from Shady Hill my wife and l
felt JOY and satisfaction such as few
parties had ever given us before. We
felt as IL we had entered a truly spir-
itual community where the demand for
high thinking and plain living was the
life instinct.
Where was that shallow and gaudy
America, that vulgar and trivial Amer
lea, that corrupt and self seeking
America, that noisy and sensational
America, of which all Europe was talk
ing? Had no one ever discovered the
true soul of the American people"

HUNGER FIGHTS FOR US.

For years it has been the belle1 tnat
this war would end only when the civil
population of one belllgerent or the
other collapsed, that 1t could not DC
definitely and decisively won by any
victory at arms because Of the vast
number of men that are under arms.
If this is true the reports of acute
hunger in Germany and the destruc-
ton to German morale are of impor-
lance.
Frank Simonds, war correspondent
with the allied armies, thinks that the
collapse in Russia has shown the Ger
man people that they must win the
war and retain their hold upon Rus
sian territory or the markets of the
world will be closed to their goods
even after peace has been declared. Ii
there was a time when they were
about to revolt and quit he thinks that
it has passed. There is nothing left
to them but to fight on now.
A prominent English business man
who has had the management of one
of those huge baronial estates in Eng
where he has been interned for three
and half years in a camp of enemy
aliens and where he acted as business
agent for the camp under guard, being
allowed to go about Berlin on business
for his camp Of interned aliens ac-
companied by his guard. He says that
hunger in Berlin and all leading cities
of Germany has reached the stage OF
actual starvation for great numbers
of people. Children and old people are
dying of hunger typhus and able
bodied people are suffering. The Ger
man soldiers know it and sympathize
with their families at home. They
want peace at any price.
The prisoners being captured from
the German armies all tell the same
story of hunger and shortage Of food
even in the army Simonds thinks
that Germany will be able to organize
Russia and obtain more food for next
winter than she has last winter but 1t
has not been felt by the people yet.
1t seems almost certain that when
the Inevitable reverses begin to come
to the Germcn army the patience OF
the people at home will break. 1t has
been said by military critics that the
drives now have been ordered to keep
UP the morale of the German people
at home. If this is necessary now a
counter offensive when it does come
will break their courage and the war
will end in the collapse Of the German
civil population.

A BILLION BUsHEL BUMPER CROP.

The government acknowledges the
best prospect for billion bushel wheat
crop that we have had in years and It
Is the hope of the civilized world ex-
that we actually harvest our prospects
a billion dollar wheat crop will pay
half Of our war tax for this year 1t
will give US wheat enough for our war
bread and enough to sustain the popu
lations Of England, France and Italy
who are helping us to win the war It
will give us some to spare for the
hungry people Of Holland. Norway,
Sweden and Switzerland who suffer the
privations of famine altho not engaged
as belligerents in the war. On our
present restricted wheat diet a billion
bushel crop will give US at least two
bushels for export for every three that
we consume and the two bushels will
bring US as much money as five used
to sell for. We can actually eat our
wheat and sell it too at these war
prices
But 1t will be a long time before we
Can return to white bread, that is all
wheat white bread. perhaps not until
the end of the war. The whole world
Is out of wheat excepting Argentina
and Australia. Hundreds Of millions
of people are hungry for wheat. If the
war were to end tomorrow it would
require a succession of bumper wheat
crops drst to give the world all the
wheat 1t can eat and then to put some
-four in the bin for reserve in case
of a crop failure. In normal times the
world carries over some wheat surplus
from one year to another. In these
times there is no carry over and not
enough to go around from day to day
even where millions upon millions OF
people go without. We must conserve
wheat until the entire world is back
upon full stomach ration again and
until the world can carry over sur
plus of wheat each year to guard
against famine in case of crop failures
What is true as to wheat is more
true as to meat because it requires
more years in which to restore the
smeat supply of the world than 1t does
Of wheat. There are many times more
ii;;1S;,J;vii3 gcing without meat nowadays
than have meat to eat. The people Of
Australia and OF the two Americas
can eat meat, but the people Of all OF
Europe. both neutral and belligrent
nations, and Of Asia are without meat
excepting the barest necessities for ex.
istenee. For many years after the wal
they viii be hungry for meat and i
viii require many years Of reproduc
ton among hocks ana nerds to rcsiol,

For this reason the weather c6ndi
tions that promise billion busht
wheat crop give us added promise il

few away.

day." and pretty soon they were whirl-
ing along in the Luckymobile far away
from the river.
Well. after a while they came to the
old farm yard where Cocky Docky and
Henry Jenny lived. So they stopped
and began to talk to Ducky Doodle.
who was standing by the old snake
fence.
"Have you heard the news?" he
asked. 'Henny Jenny has twelve little
chickens as yellow as gold, and old Mrs
Sheep has lamb in the fold; Black Cat

"That is good news. What else have

"Old Dog Sic'em has lost another

INVESTIGATE THE DRAFT.
TMuscaftna To,,rna1

There is no doubt but that exemp-
tion boards in some counties sought
to protect their young men by giving
deferment without proper warrant.
Investigators sent out by the adJutant
general found not D. few Instances
where there has been observed ten
dency to shoulder an unfair burden
upon other countries. Where there has
been an intentional effort to discrim-
mate or to practice favoritism prose-
cutions should be instituted. Des
Moines newspaper articles hint that
when this matter comes up for re-
view instances of fraud will be re-
vealed. Should this be the case sum-
mary action must be taken. The
Crowder draft plan is eminentiy fair
and 1t ought not to be subjected to
unfair application. Let's have real
investigation of this and put the Iowa
draft machinery on the square once
and for all.

Well, as soon as Billy Bunny and
Uncle Lucky reached the Tailor Birds
shop, where ! told you in the last story
they were going. Uncle Lucky went
inside to get measured for a new suit
OF clothes.
II want a pink waistcoat," said the
old gentleman rabbit. land be sure You
have the suit finished by the Fourth of
July" and then he hoped into the
Luckymobile with his bunny nephew
and drove away, and by and by they
came to river. So the little rabbits
got out of the Luckymobile and hoped
down close to the water. And, all OF a
sudden, they saw great big immense
alligator swimming about in the water
And pretty soon he dove down under
the water with his mouth wide open
to catch some fish.
Goodness gracious mebus!" ex-
claimed the old gentleman rabbit, II
should think he'd swallow SO much
water that he'd drown"
mot a bit of it," said a voice, and
there sat Professor Grow on tree,
with his little Black Book int his right
claw.
Let me read to you something about
alligators,'' ne said, and then ne turned
to page liza.
1.-The alligator has a valve In the back
Of his throat which completely shuts
out the water. but leaves the passage
nostrils free, SO that he can keep his
mouth open beneath the water without
swallowing any, while he breathes at
ease with his nostrils at the surface.

AN UNFORTUNATE DECISION.
Huntington Bawkeye.1

IpIl Il"NhCyS.J
The supreme court of the United
law, which was directed against child
labor and more especially against
factories where children under four
teen years Of age are employed, is un-
constitutional. Perhaps the majority
was right. 1t Is difficult for the lay
man to get the proper view of the
matter And 1T is made doubly diff
cult because of the nine judges Ave
held the law unconstitutional, while
four took the opposite view.
The majority seems to have been of
the opinion that as the southern state
from which the case was brought, had
not seen fit to pass laws restricting or
forbidding child labor. it was not
within the province of the national
legislature to interfere. 1t is state
rights bobbing up again, as frisky as
ever. Somebody claimed that state
rights died at Appomattox, but state
rights will endure as long as there
shall be states.
There will be infinite regret over
this decision by the highest court in
the land. The women's organizations
and other opponents OF the exploita
ton of children, will feel that there is
a distinct setback. However, they are
not going to be discouraged They
will keep up the good fight until 1t
shall have been won.
Those southern mill owners who de-
sire to get rich quick by robbing the
cradle and the kindergarten, will be
smiling and rejoicing. But the right
Is going to triumph after all. and the
enslavement Of children in factories Is
going to be brought to end, not mere
ly here and there in this country, but
everywhere under the stars and
stripes.

INSPECTING THE NOME GUARDS.

General Crowder. in charge Of the
draft, is going to demand a new deal
and a Reconsideration of men in all To-
calities in which the percentage Of
men In class / does NOT come up ~
standard. All cases of deferred CLASH
ficaton are to be investigated and
changes made.
1t is we'll. The draft is managed by
local boards and some are sure to be
less efficient than others. 1t is so in
every war service we undertake. In one
state food conservation will not be OBJ
served because the food administration
is slack. People will buy their substi-
tutes and feed them to the chickens if
they Ike, while IN other states such
practice would excite the midnight
crowd with it's yellow paint
This same deficiency exists as be-
tween counties within a state and as
between precincts within a county.
Counties that fail in one drive go over
the top In the next because of better
management on the part Of the local
committees.
Here in Iowa we have some county
councils Of defense that have pe,n
willing to do their duty in the matter
Of investigating the draft. With their
aid and public sentiment backing the
county attorney the draft has been
made fair tv everyone. In Other coun-
ties weakened coucnils have let
things drift. Exemption boards have
resistance. When one registrant got
by it was an invitation to others and
the result was all due to inefficiency
on the part of local boards. General
Crowder purposes to shake them up
and he demands that the work be done
over again wherever not properly done
before. The war savings committee is
demanding new drive in the localities
that failed in May and the big cities
have been put to shame in the Red
Cross drive by the rural precincts, all
because of bad mana cement by local
committees. The men in the training
camps of the home war service are in
need of plenty Of marching and counter
marching before they can be made good
troops. General Crowder announces in
spection Of the home guards.

Nuts as Food.

Nuts form a very concentrated form
Of food, in many cases more so than
cheese, and when nationally used they
are readily digested and form 4 part
OF q well-balanced ration. Nuts are
plentiful in many localities and should
not be allowed to 60 to waste. A
pound Of walnuts will produce almost
three times as much energy as pound
of steak. Such being the case, would
not the use Of considerable quantity
of walnuts, butternuts, and hickory
nuts be a valuable addition to the
households supply OF provisions?
