Don't Believe German Crisis Rumors

Mid-winter is here Co-incident with its ar
rival is the story emanating from neutral coun-
es.saying that the Kaisers people are starving,
that serious internal troubles are imminent, that
German soldiers are losing their fighting edge,
and that the Socialists and liberals are gaining
ascendancy over the war lords.
Readers with retentive memories will recall
that these stories have appeared with monoton-
GUS regularity in the last three years. They
ought to be commonplace and trite to the discrim-
mating reader. Germany has been defeated on
paper so often that one wonders why people give
credence to the reports which the German gov
eminent disseminates for their psychological
effect on the Allies.
Reports of German dissolution are camouflage
in the superlative degree, studiously manufac-
tured and effectively disseminated to deceive the
people of England, France Italy and the United
States. These stories are blinds and subterfuges.
Push aside the cloak and you find the German
munition plants turning out airplanes, shells, can
non and war goods in increasingly large numbers.
The Germans want us to believe that they are
war-weary so that we will sacken our prepara-
tons and go to sleep on the job.
America wants to keep one thing in mind al
ways, and that is, that she has stupendous job
the better for u.s. but until the Allies have driven
her out of France and Belgium, and our troops
have fought on German SOIL it behooves us not to
believe that she is defeated.
Germany will be really war-weary only when
she has been defeated by arms. Industriay and
socially she has weathered the storm so far, and
indications are that she will do so this winter
The only way to be sure that she is tired of war
and ready for peace is to defeat her armies.
That job cannot be accomplished by speculat-
ing about how war-weary her people may be, or
by trying to "starve" her out or by believing that
the common people will arise in arms against the
Kaiser. That's just what Germany wants to
do. If she can induce us to believe that she is
worn out and weary, she is accomplishing her pur-
pose. A prize fighter by feigning weakness and
distress often dupes his opponent into leaving an
unguarded opening. Then the pugilistic strate-
gst sends home blow that knocks-out his op-
ponent. Teutonic shrewdness is resorting to the
same tactics.

the Tageblatt claims that U-boats
have sunk on an average of S21,00 tons
of shipping monthly from February to
December. and for the whole year
the toll mad be expected to show near
ly 100000 tons, and that the build
ing of new ships by the entente and
neutrals during the year, will replace
only between 100000 and 4,00O,O 600
tons of these losses.
The newspaper says the monetary
loss to Germany's enemies as the re-
suit OF the years work by the U-boats
will reach, $4,000, 000. 900, figuring the
value of the ships at $3.50 per ton and
their cargoes at the same rate.

Take Thought of the Spring Garden Now

Take thought of the spring garden now
Notwithstanding the large production of
vegetables this year and the great volume put
into cans and jars for winter use, there is nothing
to indicate that there will not be equal need for
production and conservation in 1918, says the
United States Department of Agriculture.
Many gardens failed this year because OF poor
soil or poor preparation or both.
This is the tme.in many sections to break and
to fertilize. Then in the spring it will be easier to
make the seed bed and the soil will contain plant
food aA
For the average householder it will be suffic-
lent to prepare ground enough to produce the
home supply for eating in the fresh state and for
canning, drying or brning for use during the fol-
lowing winter. Producing vegetables for market
should not be undertaken without full knowledge
of horticulture and sufficient capital and equip
ment.
Marshalltown, Iowa, a city of 100000 has To-
Gated through it's county agent and special
agent of the extension department Is acres of
lots within the city limits which were not cult
waited the past season. They also found that
much ground was not properly plowed and pre-
pared during the past season and that many of
these lots failed to produce because of the poor
character of the soil. Crops not well adapted to
certain soils had been planted.
1t is the plan of the county agent and the local
organization in Marshalltown to extend the Guilt
waited area and to see that the crops are adapted
to soil conditions. Investigations in this city
showed that S. 900 was paid in cash last year for
food for the poor. Ninety per cent of the pota-
toes consumed were imported from long dis
tance The committees conducting this survey
work were appointed by the mayor and they are
now systematically arranging to manure, pillow,
and assign these lots to persons desiring ground
for gardens next year.
Here is what one Iowa city is doing to get
ready for next years garden campaign.
First: A curvey of the city was made and Is
acres of space suitable for gardens was located in
side the city limits in addition to what was put
in gardens last spring.
Second: Three hundred tons of manure
which could be used for fertilizer were located
within the city limits
Third: An inspection of the treasurer's
books showed that $4,000 in cash were paid out
last year to needy people.
Fourth: Ninety per cent of the potatoes con-
sumed last year were shipped in from outside
points
What did the city do about it?
Well, the city council and commercial club met
and appointed committees in every voting pre-
cnct These committees will arrange for teams,
wagons and plows, and will organize the work so
that it can be done most efficiently and economic
ally.
The mayor says the city will of the
city money to employ teams and wagons and
plows, if necessary.
1t is further planned that those who receive
support from the city must take care of garden
according to Instructions is, provided they
are able to work.
Those who wish to prepare themselves to

HUNS STRIKE HEAVY
BLOW AT ALLIES ON
OISE-MARNE FRONT

Moving with steadiness in spite of the irghtiul
losses inflicted upon them, the Germans in their
plunge southwark on the line from Noyon to Mont
dder continue to gain here and there in the center
of the line where their greatest effort has been
erted The enemy's greatest advance is at Vgne-
mont, six miles from the line it stood last Sat
urday.
Ihe French have launched counter attacks on
the left of their line, which may be indication
that they have reached the front where they will
make their final stand. This line seems to be along
the Aronde river a small stream flowing west and
northwest from the Oise and roughly paralleling
the line of the advance
The Germans according to the official state
ment issued by the French war office, reached the
vicinity" of this stream. This marked the limit of
their advance however and the French immediate
