Carl Emil Junck, the millionaire dye
dealer of Chicago, said on his return
from a trip through Germany:
1.-THE Germans are starving. A fa1

Germany is today land OF living

BAKER BACK HOME, SAYS
ALLIED ARMIES WILL WIN
Declares Right Arm of America Is in
France and the Rest of Us
Must Support 1t.

Washington, April 1S.-"Germany
| will not succeed !"
Emphasizing his words in manner
that left no doubt of his conviction
| Secretary of War Newton d. Baker,
| back from the European battle lines,
declared that the German supreme eff
fort to win a peace by the sword must
fail. The secretary could not reveal
any military secrets. For obvious
reasons he could not comment on the
present titanic struggle going on in
northern France and that little seq
ment of Belgium still held by the al
lies. But he made it very plain to
the newspaper men he greeted that
there must be no doubt felt here of
the final outcome.
''Three great armies are fighting
now with complete determination
that Germany will not succeed" he
said. "These armies will win when
the final result is known.
1.-THE big thing for our united
America to do now is to support the
war. We must support 1t financially,
with all of our sentiment, with COM
Polling belief and courage. The right
arm of America is in France. The
rest of us here must support that
right arm. We must subscribe to the
Liberty bonds. We must give our
warriors the moral support which
they must have"
"All, every man, from the highest
In rank to the lowest, is doing his
work and doing it WE'LL" he continued.
"Time and physical fatigue do not
enter into the situation over there
Our men have only one object-to get
at the task set for them and to ac-
complish it regardless of its magni-
tude.
"The condition Of the American sol
diers in France and in England is
wonderful. They are physically per-
feet and are the admiration of their
comrades of the other armies.
"The relations between the Ameri-
can soldiers and the civil and military
Britain could not be improved upon"
Washington, April 17.-Secretary of
War Baker arrived in Washington on
Tuesday, being warmly greeted by
friends and his family. President Will
son telephoned Secretary Baker and
warmly welcomed him back. Secre-
tary Baker will report on the Euro
pean situation and disposition of the
American forces to President Wilson.
Il return with a sense of pride and
confidence at the achievements of the
United States and allied troops abroad
that would justify many trips across
the water" Secretary Baker said
The secretary returned to America
on one of the large steamships which
flew the German flag before the United
States entered the war.

When Warned of His Fate.

Paris, April 1S.-Paul Bolo Pasha,

fore his execution. After leaving the
automobile at Vincennes, he listened
to the exhortation of a prison chap
lain.

WHERE FARMING
IS PROFITABLE
1he Future of Great Possibilities.

Some idea of the great wealth that
the Western Canada farmer had in
view few years ago is now being real
lied. The amount received from the
sale of wheat, oats, barley, fax and
rye IN 1917 was S2700O0,0O0, while the
sales Of live stock at Winnipeg alone
Melted $40000,000 additional. OF this
sum hogs alone gave over eleven mil
Hon dollars. The increases at Calgary
and Edmonton were over 6A million
dollars.
This money, so easily earned, is be-
ing spent in improvements in farm
property, purchasing additional land'
buying tractors, automobiles, and IN
proving home conditions, providing
electric light, steam heat, new furni-
ture, pianos, buying Victory bonds,
paying off old debts, etc.
Over five hundred tractors were sold
in Southern Alberta in 1917. One
implement agent reports that the In
crease in his business in 1917, over
that of 1916, was equal to the total
business in 1915. It is the same story
all over the country. And 1t Is not
this evidence alone which proves the
advancement and growth Of tn three
prairie provinces, but the large In
crease In the number of settlers; the
Improvement in the extent of the Gull
tivated areas and agricultural produc-
tiOn the increase In value of which
over 1916 was $77,O0O,000.
This wonderful progress that has
been made in agriculture in Western
Canada Is but the beginning which
marks the future of the greatest agri-
cultural country on the continent,
showing a future of great possibilities.
There are millions of acres yet I'M
titled, and of land as good as any OF
that which is now giving its owners a
return of from twenty to thirty dollars
an acre, figures that in many cases
represent the cost of the land, with all
cultivation costs included. 1t is true
that the cost of production has In
creased during the past few years, but
the price of the product has also In
creased to a figure which leaves a
large balance to the credit of the pro-
Queer.
The following tale shows how this
works out: 1913 1917
