ARMY
MUCH LARGER
THAN IN 1914
Thousands Of Fugitives
Bring Force to Nearly
100000.

Paris, Aug. IA few days ago II
was announced. that the American
electives actually at the front and
not including those engaged in work
behind the lines outnumbered the en-
tire Belgian army. including all its
services and auxiliaries.
1t Is little realized today that the
Belgian army is at the apogee of its
strength-that never before in the
history of the little country have
there been so many fighting Belgians
!, IN line. The Belgian COMMUNICATES
are not long and the days when the
nrst German hordes were moved
down in masses on the giacis of the
forts of Liege seem long, long ago.
Most of us have been inclined to
believe that the British gradually
have been taking more and more of
the Belgian sector. to permit those
war-tried veterans to have long
periods OF repose at the rear. Such
is not the case Belgium now holds
a more strongly defended front than
at any time during the war. Her
soldiers are fighting daily and their
determination to be in at the death
when their country is finally won
back is as undiminished as it was
in 1914
Began with 1s2, 900.
Belgium. at the outbreak of the
war, mobilized all its classes from
and including 1899 to 1913. The
German rush was so swift that
there was no time to mobilize the
1914 class. but a large percentage
voluntarily enrolled.
At the end Of the first two weeks
OF war Belgium had $4,000 men
under arms. OF this number about
$4,000 defended Liege. approximately
the same number Namur, and the
rest fell back on Antwerp. After
the battle of Antwerp $4,000 SOL

Pittsburgh Stoaies May Vanish.

From the Dayton Journal.
Stogies soon will be off the market.
No longer will you be able 10 get q

The filters used In making stogies now
are going into cigars. So you will get the
same tobacco that you used to enjoy. but
1t will come in shorter lengths and will
cost rather more. Instead Of laying a two

hands with two-fers or three-fers, the

by American tobacco concerns (but not
paid for, we trust), are war-bound In
Holland. Whether these wrappers are
used in stogies Is not the point. The point
is that they are a bully excuse fer gently
prying the price Of tobacco upward,

INCREASE IN WESTERN
CANADA ACREAGE
Will Prove a Big Factor in Win
nina the War.

Reports to hand indicate that West
ern Canada has a vastly increased
acreage ready for crop this year over
last year. The splendid open fall Of
1917, gave a better opportunity for fall
blowing than for some years. Work
In the fields was almost continuous
until the end Of November. In fact. in
the neighborhood Of Pincher Creek.
Alberta. there was sufficient mild
weather In January Of this year to
permit farmers to pillow, and many
took advantage Of 1t. A grsat many
Americans owning land in Canada
moved up last year, and this has also
helped to increase the acreage. They
came into possession Of the land at
prices varying from $500 to $4,000
an acre, and with the proven yields
OF wheat running from twenty and as
high as fifty bushels per acre, with a
set price Of 1921 a bushel, they could
join production and patriotism to-
gether with a big margin Of profit.
The Post-Intelligencer. Of Seattle,
Wash. gives a very conservative state.
ment Of the agricultural DEVELOPMENT
and opportunities in Western Canada.
In its issue of December IA, 1917, It
says: -
Since the beginning Of the veal
American emigration into Canada has
been greatly stimulated according to
the reports Of the Dominion authori-
ties, and has been almost entirely made
up Of farmers attracted by the fertile
and comparatively cheap wheat lands.
Whatever may be said Of wheat
culture as a profitable a~vocation In
ordinary years, since the beginning Of
the war 1t has offered advantages
quite beyond the usual opportunities.
War has doomed the price Of wheat
until the farmer now receives around
81 for his product at his granary.
Average crops, according to the adap.
tation Of soil and climate are from
IL to % bushels to the acre. Even
the minimum crop, at 50 per bushel,
brings in these war times a reasonable
profit. Before the war wheat culture
was fast being abandoned by farmers
who worked %intelligently for results
on the right side Of the ledger. It has
been the popular cron for new coun.
tries, but when the pioneers settled
down to business 1t was generally
corn, hogs, cattle and diversified farm
Ing that brought the profits. Iowa and
the Dakotas in turn, as their prairies
became settled, mortgaged the land on
wheat culture and afterwards paid of
the mortgages with corn and hogs.
"War is thus bringing q temporary
encouragement to wheat farming.
Many Of the ranchers Of Manitoba, Sas-
katchewan and Alberta laid away
$4,000 to $4,000 in the banks last fall.
It may be pointed out, however, that
the growing Of wheat Is not the only
lnducement which is leading settle

favorable agricultural climate, and
profitable prices not only for grain but
for hogs, cattle and all forms Of farm
produce all contribute their share
