MAN POWER OF HUNS
Germany's Full Strength Is Now
$500, 900 Men.
$4,000 Are on Various Fronts, the
Remainder Are Guarding
Neutral Frontiers

Paris.-The Echo de Paris. referring
to the distribution of enemy forces
on the different fronts, says:
ION the Franco-British front there
have been for several months past l52
German divisions, of which 81 were
opposed by the British and the remain
der by the French. Following the re-
cent British offensive at Cambria, this
proportion was modified. There are
now exactly 154 divisions on the
Franco-British front, each comprising
about $3.50 bayonets, and including
artillery, engineers, ETC., or about L.
600 men in all, thus giving about p
100000 German combatants on the
Franco-British front
I'm view of the uncertainty of what
Russian anarchy has in store for them,
the Germans have left about million
men on the Russo-Roumania front As
q matter of fact, the movements ef-
fected have resulted not in diminu-
ton of the number of fighting units
on this front, but in their quality.
ION the Italian front Germany has
sent to the assistance of the 40 Aus
trian divisions only seven divisions, or
about 100000 men.
"On the Balkan front she has sent
only 10000 combatants to re-einforce
the Turks and Bulgarians. In Asia
Germany has restricted her help to
furnishing general STATS.
consequently Germany, whose total
strength is 100000 men. has on the
various fronts 3,13O,OOO men, the re-
mainder being required for guarding
the Swiss and Dutch frontiers and for
the occupation of, the invaded terri

4 K[0NDIKE TO THE

farmers in this vicinity pay for their

near here bought a section of land in
the year 1915 for $23 per acre. He
broke 800 acres of the land during the
summer OF 1915. In the fall of 1916
he threshed 10000 bushels of wheat,
which paid for his land, all expenses
and had balance of $4,000. In the
fall of 1917 he threshed nearly as
much off the other half Of the section.
At the present time he would not take
$50 per acre for his land.
NWe have had five crops in Alberta.
The two dry years (1914-1917) our
wheat made 20 and 80 bushels to the
acre respectively. In 1916 we raised
80 bushels Of wheat to the acre on
summer fallow. The best results are
obtained by blowing or breaking in
the summer, working it down in the
fall so that it will retain the moisture.

persons owning land here and still
living in the States should, If they
don't feel themselves able to come up
here and finance themselves until they
could get their first crop, get some of
their land broken and worked down
in the fall before they come. The
next spring they could come and put
in the crop, fence and put up their
buildings. This way they have to
wait only one summer for their first
crop.
cit is not advisable for a person to
come here in the spring. break out

The Hague.-The great "kaiser's

mere seem to be two opinions
among merchants who deal In w0m-
EMS dresses, and women's- wear in gen.
eral, about the probable demand for
black. Needless to say, war times al-
ways mean an additional demand for
mourning, but after the experience Of
England and France 1t Is hardly likely

But aside from black a. the color OF
mourning. the prediction has been
made persistently In some quarters
that there will be an enormous demand
for black clothes as q matter Of econ
omy. Women may demand black, and
they may wear It. But the question
u still open a. to whether they are
doing wisely. Almost any woman who
has ever wore black for mourning
knows that It is not an economical
color. In almost any fabric black re-
uuires constant brushing and constant
trips to the tailor. No color looks
