Must Fight IN the burrows

Urban people have got to do some
fighting for freedom in the burrows
this spring. summer and fall. They
have got to help the. country win the
war by helping the farmer produce
food-which means that they will be
helping themselves most Of ALL
With the exception OF a few mining
and manufacturing centers the vii
lages, towns and cities Of 100000 or
less are mainly dependent for their
success on the prosperity OF the farm
ing communities around them. They
have good times or hard times In
proportion as the farming operations
in their trade territory succeed or tail.
In normal times, even, sensible self
interest prompts the business man 10
encourage and aid the farmer. Now,
In the stress Of war. the prompting to
help the farmer comes hardly less
from good business judgment than
from patriotic impulse.
Here is the situations The farmers
will need additional labor to help oul-
tivate and harvest the crops they have
planted. This situation can not be
met by legislation. The task imposed
upon the Israslitss by Pharaoh, 10

easy Job compared with the task OF
making labor by law. In large meas
ure, the needed labor must come from

submarine which destroyed the
schooner Edna, told Enoch Roker, one
of the Edna's crew, Roker said here
today, that the U-boat feet plans to
remain American waters until Aug

on the submarine, was rescued after
he and other prisoners had been plac-

"The storekeeper told me that
since they had left Keil two months
ago, after a big celebration before
the submarine feet left Roker said
today, "they were provisioned for a
six months cruise, and he said they
to stay on the western At
lantic coast until August at least. He
didn't tell me how many submarines
there were in the feet, as the officers
on board kept vigilant eyes and ears"

New York, June 5.-The entry Of
Americans into the fighting along the
Marne means that the military stu,
alton facing General Foch now pre-
sents lesss cause for uneasiness than
at any time since the German often.
sive began ten weeks ago.
General Fochs use of his American
reserves would not occur at this stage
of the battle except for the fact that
Won Hindenburgs own reserves are
rapidly being exhausted. 1t is now
possible for Americans to be sent in
to the struggle along the Marne with
out danger that Won Hindenburg is
over-reaching General Foch in ulti-
mate strategy The Americans are
now to undergo the final period of
their original training, before they
are ready for full offensive warfare
on their own initiative.
1t at last safe for General Foch
to use the Americans for this purpose
because Won Hindenburg's large re-
serve forces have been seriously de-
pleted both by casualties and by the
extension Of the German front. There
is no present danger of an over
whelming mass of German reserves

being hurled against a vital sector Of
the allied front. The Americans
therefore, by entering the struggle
are not weakening General Foch's
own reserve strength disproportion.
ately to the Germans.
The training which the Americans
will receive along the Marne front
will be perfectly adapted for their
own major offensive when the time
finally comes for their march to the
Rhine.
The Marne front is the one sector
where General Foch must exert all
possible strength to move the Ger
mans back a short distance. Until
this is done, the Marne railway line,
running from Paris into the Ameri-
can sector in eastern France, will not
be available for use. In reality, there
fore, the Americans are entering the
present battle TO wrest back from the
Huns one of their own principal
lines Of communication. The new
battle Of the Marne, thus, may well
be considered as the forerunner of
Americas own offensive which is des-
tined to carry the war ultimately into
German territory. What the Ameri-
cans now learn of German fighting
methods along the Marne viii be the
final lessons they viii need to carry
the stars and stripes into Metz and
across Lorraine for democracy and
freedom.

FOUGHT TO STANDSTILL
BY GEN. FOCH'S FORCES

Washington, June 4.--Virtual ad
mission that the third German drive
in the west has been brought to hall
was seen here in tonight's official
statement from Berlin. The brief
announcement without claim of nd.
vances served to convince officers
here that for the present at least Gen.
Foch has fought the enemy to a
stnadstill without the loss of any
point of strategic value and without
serious inroads on his reserves.
American troops aided in the fight
ing. Presumably they are part of
Gen. Pershing's main units originally
posted farther to the north. 1t may
be, however, that they are a part of
the reinforcements which have been
rushed over since the German high
command determined to force the
war to conclusion in the hope that a
decisive victory could be won before
the American army arrived in force.
The French, in today's official
statement, paid tribute to the dash
and skill of the Americans engaged
in counter-attack which threw the
advancing enemy back out of Neuilly
wood, west Of Chateau Thierry. The
stroke was characterized by the
French commander as magnifcently
delivered. Apparently the German
advance in that direction was stopped
short by the blow.
At another point, where the first of
the German horde had found its way
across the Marne, France-American
troops attacked them, threw them
back north of the river and destroyed
he bridge on which they crossed. |
Again the enemy was stopped short.
Gen. Pershing, in his official report
# the incident made public tonight, /
dismissed it briefly. The Americans
ave done only was was expected Of
hem, officers have said in express
ng qualification that the American
.ficial announcement had not made
90 much of the matter.

sows kept for spring farrow. Later,
uncertainty overfthe poor corn crop.
the car shortage and the unstable hog
market caused many men to sell a part
of the sows. This increase in pigs must
be attributed. therefore, to the fact
that larger percentage of tho total
farrow was saved. The percentage
saved was greaer by to 90 per cent
in nearly all counties of the state.
This was made possible by better care
and by the weeks of good weather
which favored the narrowing season.
Good Start For Spring Pigs.
A great majority Of the counties re-
ported that from so to 80 per cent of
the sows narrowed before May l. This
means that the spring pigs will get
better start and that more sows may
be bred for fall farrow Those pigs
narrowed after May l should snow
even higher percentage, saved be-
cause of the more favorable conditions.
A further reason given in the
counties showing decreases is that
farmers fed too much corn of inferior
quality without the proper supple
ments. AS for the corn outlook for this
year, the swine breeders in most OF
the counties report that they will have
enough corn for this years pig. crop.
Three or four counties expect a short
age but some of them are intending to
part tally or wholly meet the shortage
by the increased use of barley. Three
foirths OF all the counties of Iowa
have an increased acreage of barley,
ranging from 10 to 800 per cent Much
of this has been sown to aid hog pro-
