Plans to Invade America.

Commerce and Finance; In re-
cent conversation with an Ameri-
can who was a student at a Ger
man university some 30 years ago
he told me OF how his roommate
who was then a junior officer in
the army and an instructor at one
of the imperial war schools. had not
hesitated to inform him that near
~ every student OF military science
in Germany was required to submit
a plan for the invasion of the Unit
ed States as a part of his training.
He said that while the idea had at
the time seemed fantastical, it has
now come to have very sinister
import for him, and that he thought
the American people would do well
to consider what might happen if
an attempt were made TO apply any
one of the many plans for the inva-
sion OF the United States that re-
pose in the archives Of the German
general staff. For" said he, "you
may be sure they are there worked
out TO the last detail, and ready for
use the moment there is any chance
OF carrying them out successfully"

Grain Region Summary.

Corn generally made good growth
in the lower Missouri. central and
upper Mississippi and lower Ohio
valleys, where the moisture was
sufficient, but in most other dis
tricts rain is badly needed for the
best development of this crop. while
in many northern sections the
weather was too cool The week
was generally favorable for harvest
ing and threshing OF winter wheat
and work made rapid progress.
Drouht damaged all wheat in the
extreme northwest The moisture
was sufficient for spring wheat
over the most important areas in
the east portion of the belt, but
rain is badly needed from central
North Dakota westward. Spring
wheat harvest has begun in the
southern portion of the belt. Oats
developed fairly well over most of
the northern districts. but rain is
much needed for the best develop
ment OF potatoes, pastures and
truck crops in many sections.

BUT ONE REQUISITE.
Kentucky Horse Admirer Makes
Significant Remark in Connec-
ton With Friends Outfit.

Chicago News: Col. John Hen
drick, former congressman from the
First district of Kentucky, has an
attribute common among the citi-
zens of his own state-he greatly
admires good trotting horse.
One fine spring morning he Wis
tied the driving track near the
town where he resides, to spend
a happy hour watching various
owners and trainers exercising their
stock. A tobacco raiser from the
back of the county swung down the
home stretch behind bony, awk-
ward, skittish, weird-looking ami
NAL. The trap in which the farm
er sat was the best that money
could buy, and as shiny as paint
and varnish could make it. The
harness was new, ornate and elab-
orate. He halted in front of Colo
mel Hendrick.
"Hey, John!" he called out.
What do you think OF the outfit :"
"Fine. Jeff, fine! | congratulate
you. There's only one thing more
needed to make it absolutely COM
plete."
"Whut's that" demanded the
surprised countryman.
"A hoss !" said the colonel.

Youngstown Telegram: Umsor
leaned back in his chair at the din
ner table, held cooky between thu
thumb and first finger of his righr
hand, and eyed it closely.
Mrs. Unison looked, but did no,
smile.
Pinching the cake and moving il
up and down as if to carefully as
certain its weight, Unison contin-
ued his inspection.
By this time Mrs Unison was
glowering.
"Wcll," she said. 81 suppose YOU
are going to poke fun at my cook
ing again
Far from it," her husband an
swered.
Then what in the world are you
doing with that cooky?'
Il was testing its resiliency"--
IT'S what? 2"
"And also taking note OF its
compactness and strength"
Isn't that making fun of it?'
"My dear, you may have unwit-
tingly made great discovery"
"How's that"
This thing may not be much OF
a success as a cake, but it might
make a wonderful substitute for 4

When Is a Man Tired?

American Magazine: When 4
man says he is tired he means that
he is the victim OF fatigue and that
the requirements of the days work
have exhausted his mental and ply
sical resources. Is this true? If it
were. the victim OF this terrific day
would go home and fall into bed
to recuperate from what he had
suffered. But he does not. He
does one OF two things: Either he
spends the evening at home romp-
ing with the kids or reading: or
amusing himself with some fad or
game; or he goes out and puts in
anywhere from four TO eight hours
seeing show, going to a roof gar
den, taking an automobile ride,
dancing a good many miles or play
ing cards. Ii turns out that he is
not as tired as he thought he was.
In fact, to all intents and purposes,
he Is not tired at all. If he were,
he could not show up laughing and
with the gleam Of hearty enjoyment
IN his eye at the end Of a dance or
an automobile ride. or whatever It
is that he has selected as a means
OF killing time" before he chooses
to go to bed. The man who is
really fatigued has no desire to
dance, does not want to be bounc-
ed around in an automobile, does
not care TO sit through a play, feels
an aversion to a game of cards II
he is really fatigued, there is only
only one thing that he does want.
and that is rest-rest and sleep.

Cotton Region Summary.

Little or no rain in the cotton
belt, except showers in portions of
Texas and good rains in Georgia
and the Carolinas, with average TEN
peratures nearly normal made a
fairly good week for cotton. Con-
ditions are becoming drouthy in
most localities, but cotton is not
yet suffering except in west Tex
as where late planted is dying from
lack of moisture. Nights were too
cool in some eastern sections for
the best growth. Cotton is gener-
ally clean and fruiting we'll in most
areas and the outlook continues
promising. The dry weather was
beneficial in checking weevil activ-
ity in portions of the central Gulf
states. but some damage is report
ed from that source in Alabama.
The dry weather. however. was un-
favorable for truck crops, pastures,
meadows. and corn in many dis
tricts. but the growth was good
where moisture was sufficient.

Weather and Crop
Conditions for Week
Ending Tuesday, July 9

1t was 4 week of clear skies and
high day temperatures. There was
no precipitation Of consequence,
only few light, scattered showers
being reported. All crops are need
ing rain in practically all sections
OF the state. Except in localities
favored with heavy rains the pre-
ccding week, corn suffered greatly,
and the crop, as whole, has been
badly damaged. Much corn in the
southwestern portion and on upland
in the central and northeastern por-
tons has been burned beyond re-
covery. Cotton made satisfactory
progress Notwithstanding the scar
city of moisture The plants made
good growth, are blooming freely
and bolls setting. Only few re-
ports of shedding were received.
The cotton crop, as whole, is
very promising just now, but will
need RAIN soon. Sorghum grains,
broomcorn. peanuts and sweet po-
tatoes are holding up well and
fair growth in most locali-
ties. Chinch bugs are damaging
corn and sorghum grains in some
localities. Pastures, truck crops
and gardens need rain badly and
are burning and failing in some
localities. Apples and peaches are
also showing the effect of the heat
and scant moisture, the fruit shriv-
ling tnd beginning to drop in some
sections. The threshing of wheat
md oats progressed favorably, with
he yield mostly fair to good and
he grains OF good quality

Would Tax Domestic Servants
In the New Tax Measure

Washington, July l0-The treas
ury proposes a license tax of $40
a year on every soda fountain. The
suggested tax on domestic serv-
ants would allow an exemption of
one female servant. Others would
be taxed as follows: First servant,
p pee cent of wages paid: second
servant, 80 per cent; third, Is per
cent, and more than three servants,
mot counting the one female serv-
anti. 100 per cen; OF wage paid in

WHIPPING POSTS ARE NOW
APPEARING AT BIRMINGHAM

Birmingham, Ala, July TO-
whipping posts resembling those
built in colonial days appeared to-
day in the Jefferson county court
house yard in Capitol park and at
Five Points, this city. A black
board nailed to each post bears the
following inscription: For pro-
Germans, seditionists. profiteers,
slackers and loafers." Little in
quiry is made as to where the posts
came from, but general approval of
the idea is manifest.

with great cranes and hammers,
lathes. millers and planers, and more
than 100 smaller buildings for shops
and magazines.
1t is estimated that the mini
mum requirement for the machine
tool equipment will entail an invest
ment of at least SS,0OO,OO0. This
will permit of gun repair work,
which will give the base facilities
for refining 800 guns a month. The
gun carriage repair plant will have
capacity for overhauling l,25O
vehicles month, and the small arm
repair plant will be ready to handle
$1,000 rifles and machine guns a
month.
The equipment repair shop will
take care of 10000 sets of horse
and infantry equipment every thirty
days. Perhaps the most vivid pic
lures are those reciting the reload
ing capacity.
Plans call for mammoth reload
ing plant, which, however. will not
be erected this year. Its daily ca
pacity will be stupendous. Publica-
ton of the exact capacity is not per-
but it would appear from
the Preparations under way for this
plant that America is getting ready |
to blast the way to Berlin.
In addition to the plants mem
toned there will be machine shops,
ioundries and carpenter shops.
there will also be great
barracks built, but since the building
IF cantonments in the United States
,mall interest attaches to building
If houses.

making their farewells in railway

by placards to take their choice of
these firms:

Auf baldigeswiedersehen.
Auf sehrbaldigeswedersehen.

WAR SUMMARY
(By The Associated Press

German artillery and aerial ac-
tivity has increased on the Flanders
battle field, but the infantry still
is held in check. Elsewhere on the
western front there has been no
marked activity except southwest
of Soissons where the French have
advanced and further improved
their positions.
Since the revival of the enemy
bombardments most attention has
been paid to the sectors north and
south of the Somme, east of Amiens
and to the Lys sector west of Haze
brouck. an important railway and
supply center in the Flanders re-
gion.
British Superior in Air.
Enemy aviators who had not
been very active on the British CSr-
ton OF the battle line are quite ac-
tive in Flanders. British airmen in
battles with the Germans have ac-
counted for ten of them. while an
other fell before the British anti
aircraft fire. British superiority in
the air is now firmly established, and
scouts and bombing planes recently
have outfought and harrassed the
enemy on innumerable occasions.
French troops in their latest gain
south of the Aisne have extended
their lines around Corey and Long
pont, northeast of Villers- Cotterets.
Enemy opposition at Chacigny farm
has been overcome and French pa
trolls have pushed forward to the
outskirts OF Longpont and pene-
trated Corey. Prisoners were taken.
Further southeast American avia-
tors have been active around Cha
teau Thierry.
Austrians Fall Back.
Under Franco-Italian pressure the
Austrian troops in Albania have re-
tired beyond the Bereath- Fieri line
in the direction of the Skumbi river
and FL Basan, the nearest natural
defense northward. The evacua-
ton of Berat announced from Vi
emma probably was due to the Italian

advance between Lake Ochrida and
the Tomorca valley up which the
also are retreatcd, pur-
sued by the allied forces.
Fighting in the Macedonian thea
ire has spread eastward, and the
Brlgarians are making strong at
acks north of Monastir, apparently
o draw allied attention from Al
oania. The Bulgarians' attacks were
'epulsed with heavy losses by the
French. There is great expectation
hat the Bulgarian lines east of
AXE Ochrida will be outflanked,
hould the allied forces reach the
;kumbi at FL Basan. '
