had nothing to give the peasants for their wheat, and when Eiehhorn tried to seize it the peasants would burn it. Everywhere throughout the coun- try were riots and bloodshed. On the other hand dissatisfaction with Eich- horn in Germany through his failure to send the expected food was nearly as great as the hatred he aroused in the Ukraine by his tyranical measures. The climax was his assassina ton. Again Germany has a pretext to Seize Russia and again her utter helpless ness to cope with the eastern question is shown by the Imperial Governments verbal denunciation of the murderer and her call to the local government to punish those who were responsible Naughty Germany that sneered at Will sons notes as long as thsy were not backed by force is herself reduced to this despised method of protest against the murder for her imperial representa- tiVes.

THE SIGNIFICANCE OF THE AD-
 VANCE

The Germans made their drive to force peace. they said, and the en- tente troops started their drive to test the German strength. The Ger mans were outmaneuvered and over powered, lost 30 miles of territory and about 80 towns and stores and supplies, and are now nearer the Rhine than they were in March when they started the spring drive.
 The drive of the allied forces has exceeded anything the Germans ex- pected or feared. and is a revelation to them.
 It is no less a revelation to the En- tente forces. who Know their future chances of success.
 The tide Of battle has surely turn ed, and the spirit of the allies and their courage and persistence fore bedes eventual defeat to their foes,
 Another year will witness such a change in strength and successes that the doom of the Central Empire will be apparent

Mir.

Closely following the murder of von MiFbach, the German ambassador in
 Moscow, came the assassination of
 Field Marshal Yen Eiehhorn the Kali ser's commander in the Ukraine and
 the real dictator in Russian affairs.
 This assassin too was from Moscow, sent for this very purpose by the
 Social Revolutionists who hate the Germans who are throttiing their country and loatha the Bolsheviki who have betrayed her to her enemies.
 Gichhern, the most ruthless of the Prussian generals, after starving and piundering the Ukraine for Germany's benefit, had vainly attempted to force the peasants under severe penalties to plant their fields A later order had set a price for grain that would ruin both peasant and landowner. It was von Eichhorn who had dismissed the Ukrainian Rada, the parliamentary body with which Germany had made their infamous treaty, and instituted dictatorship with the Ukrainian gen. eral Skoropadski at it's head, believ- ing that a one-man government would be easier to handle. But this govern nent was no more efficient in produe- ing grain for Germany, since Germany

Greatest of all dislIusionment was the Russian revolution. With Raspu- tin removed and the Czar deposed,, France and Britain thought they had an ally that could be trusted. The dis integration had gone too far, however and the Russian people, worn out by war, grasped at everything and got nothing Then America came in and a thrill of joy swept through weary England and bleeding France. Yet American help was far away and the U-boats were sinking ships faster than the world could replace thsm Then came the great German drives of the present year, overwhelming and seemingly invincible and once more the answer has been found, this time in Foch and the Americans.

FACTS AND COMMENT
The great Marne salient is no longer

The great Marne salient is no longer a salient nor is it even a bulge, for Seissons at the west corner has been retaken by the French, the Vesle has been crossed and more and more hur- riedly the Germans are withdrawing to the Aisne, and it is not at all cer- tain that they can stop even there. Their losses in men are very great, the loss of material in ineaieulable. The acres of shells and the mountains of supplies necessary for the intended drive across the Marne, crowded as they were in the ten mile space be- tween the Vesle and the Ourcq, have been abandoned or destroyed. All are gone and while the German factories labor month after month to replace them, the American troops will con- tinue to pour into France. Three hun dFed thousand were landed in July alone.
 Had the enemy succeeded in crossing the Marne in force and deploying to the south of it, huge and Well-eauip- ped German force would have been established between Paris and the eastern frontier Verdun, impregnable | from the front, would have been taken in reverse and would have been lost then would have fallen the whole ser | ies of eastern fortresses. Foul, Epinal and Belfort. All the men holding all the line from Rheims to the Swiss bor- der, including the American forces about San Mihiel and in Lorraine might well have been cut off from communication not only with Paris but even from the Atlantic. The stake
 was indeed high but the Crown Prince
 has definitely lost the game.

President Wilson has at last arrans-

EfSSfdSHI tfiiSOn TidS IaSI aFFan9- ed with Japan for joint expedition of few thousand men to land at ValadiYostek in order to protect sup plies and communications there. This expedition will not be large enough to cause approximations Of political inter ference or permanent maintenance in Russia, but will be sufficient to afford very material help to the Czeeho- Sleyaks who have been making such unexpected progress against Germans, Austrians and Bolsheviki in their march across Siberia. Indeed it is the appearance of the force that has fur nished the President with his reason for abandoning his long followed course of non interference in Russia. While there was no fallying point, any foreign force would have had to block out it's own course against the possible op- position of all parties. Given one solid and reliable unit however small, the foreign force would enter as auxiliary to an already existing element in the home population. According to the Presidents plan, 8 civil commission
 of experts in agriculture, commerce and education will shortly follow the | military into Russia to spread useful l information and relieve the immediate
 necessities of the people. It is dis appointing to many that the Presi-
 dents plans for intervention and hell in Russia are on so small a scale, yet
 even this concession is encouraging Much may follow from these small be- l ginnings.

The tide has really turned but that does not mean that the end of the war is in sight. Time and again for four long years defeat has been so i'm minent or success has seemed so near that we must be surprised at nothing and ready for anything. Nothing could stop the German drive of 1914, but the contemptihle British army did stop it long enough for Joffre to plan and Foch to win the first battle of the Marne. Then was heard the cry of triumph that the Germans had failed and the war was as good as won. Kitchener alone knew better There followed the years of trench warfare with a possible indecisive peace, ''linping peace as the French so aptly put it, a peace that would have been merely an armistice while each side prepared for greater efforts. That same autumn of 1914 one U-boat sunk three British cruisers in a single day. Doubt cFept into the English heart, joy prevailed all Ger many. After all England's superiority in tons and guns was to be nullitied by the submarine. But new orders were issued new methods de- vised and the British fleet still reigns supreme on the seven seas. Early in 1915 German gas appeared and swept all before it. Mortal man could not withstand this weapon, but the Canad- 1 ians did and gradually the means were | found to combat it. The Dardaneiles
 were to be forced, Constantineple talk 1 en and the way to Russia opened bu | the order came to the British fleet tC
 withdraw when an hours further fir l ing would have exhausted the Turkish ammunition. The assault on Verdur was to be the glory of tht
 Crown Prince, the doom of France | but they did not pass. The battle O l the Somme forced the invaders bacl 1 to the Hindenburg line. Victory wa.

Ihe encouFagIng TacfoF m She Whole situation is not the regaining of French soil, for the entire salient com prised but zoe square miles or about the size of W{ndham County; nor is it the retreat of the Germans, which measures not oyer twenty miles, while there are 400 miles to go from Verdun to Berlin. The real encouragement is found in the fact that the finest Ger man troops with their utmost efforts and best equipment have not only been stopped in their impetuous rush but even driven back by an allied force that is as yet far from its maximum strength.

Seventy-five per cent of the sugar
used in this country has to be brought
here in ships. Every possible ship
is needed for the transportation. of
troops and supplies to the other side.
You drink ships every time you use
sugar unnecessarily in beverage.
You eat ships every time you eat
candy, purely a luxury.
Candy manufacturing has been
limited to fifty per cent of their
normal supply of sugar-yet figures
show the receipts for candy to be
larger than normal and constantly on
the increase.
Eating candy now is not playing
the game.
The sugar is needed now for can
ming, the ships are needed for soldiers
and supplies for them; the labor used
in candy manufacture could be divert
ed to a more useful purpose.
Why not say goodbye to the lolly-
pop, the creams and sea foams until

SEED CORN SITUATION
IN STATE is DOUBTFUL
The true northerner. [volume] (Paw Paw, Mich.) 1855-1920, 1918-09-06

Spring Frost. Summer drought
and imported varieties make careful
selection imperative, warns NJ. A. G..
Lest there should be a repetition in
Michigan next Spring of the seed
corn famine which caused so much
concern and expense during April,
May and June of this year, the Mich
igan Agricultural college is recon-
mending to farmers that they take
precautions this fall to carefully
select such seed corn stock as may be
available. This is said to be more
than usually necessary at the present
time because Of the presence in the
state Of much corn grown from i'm
ported varieties of doubtful adapti-
bility to Michigan conditions. "a
very large proportion of the corn
now growing is from seed procured
outside of Michigan" declares Alfred
Bentall, county agricultural agent in
Allegan. "In Allegan county alone
we have at least 5000 acres of corn
raised from seed brought in from
outside. Much of every kind of corn,
both homegrown and imported, has
suffered from the frost, as it has also
been since damaged by the drought,
but in spite of this we still have a
large number of cornfelds all over
the state which with favorable wealth
er will mature good crops. Farmers
should be on the lookout now for the
hills of corn that have come through
the frost and drought and which
promise to mature good ears. These
hills should be marked and the corn
saved for seed. Remember that we
have little or no seed saved from last
year and that we are starting with
absolutely empty cribs. 1t will be
good business as we'll as true patri-
otism to carefully select and save all
corn good for seed, for there are
large areas in the state where seed
corn will not be produced this year."
