NAVY INSPIRED
.GERMANREVOLT'
Hun High Seas Fleet S Re-
/. fusal to Fight Allies
Is Verified.

The German revolution had its in
ception at the refusal of the high
seas fleet to go forth for battle with
the English and American navies.
This information. made public by
the Wolff Agency and transmitted to
Washington yesterday in an official
dispatch from Berne, confirms the
dispatch of a week ago, which accu-
rately set forth the real cause of the
uprising in the former empire.
The Wolff Agency, the dispatch
adds, publishes an article entitled,
How 1t Happened" and this sheds
light on the origin of the revolution.
1t says:
Sailors Start Revolt.
'Tt is generally believed that the
revolution broke out on November 8
with the victory of the sailors at
Kiel. This is not exact. In fact it
had begun the week before. Kiel was
only the scene of the second upris-
ing; the high seas fleet was the scene
of the first.
The pan-Germans wished to sacri-
fce the fleet in a last combat against
England. The sailors, however, in
tercepted tie letters the officers had
written before taking leave of their
families. The letters did not conceal
the fact that the officers would die
rather than deliver the fleet TO Eng
land. But the crews numbering
$1,000 revolted, the sailors opposing
the departure of the fleet. Negotia-
tions were engaged with the high
command but these were of no avail

tober 28 the formal command to sail.

ImprisOn Rebels.
Sailors, by the thousands. were in-
carcerated at Wilhelms haven, but this
action had only the effect of increas-
ing the spirit of revolt. And finally
the Kiel events took place"
In connection with the mobilization
of the high seas fleet, it is now per
missible to say that the allies and
the United States, who were fully
informed of the moves within Ger
many. prepared the greatest concen-
tration of naval craft in the history
of the world to. meet the German
armada. Naval men in this country
believe the complete destruction of
the enemy fleet was averted only be-
cause of the revolt of its men.

CANNON AND CROPS CONSUME
THE SAME MATERIALS
Wartime Conditions Threaten FertlI-
lxer Supply.

Every cannon crash and every burst
ing bomb on the battleflelds of Europe
uses up important fertilizer materials.
A single skirmish may consume more
potential plant food than would be re-
quired to feed the fields of an entire
township, and the quantities burned
up during a real bombardment are tre-
mendous. Last year more than 60O,-
900 tons of nitrate went to make ex-
plosives, in the United States alone.
Millions of tons of sulphuric acid were
likewise consumed.
Fertilizers and warfare bear O most
intimate and most sensitive relation
ship. War decreases the supply of
fertilizing materials and at the same
time increases the Importance of their
use. Food production takes on a pa
triOtic aspect. The farmers tools Of
production become of Importance Sec

self. Yet when Mars is the arbiter
the preference on materials must go
to the soldier rather than to the farm
er. This accounts for the shortage Of
materials from which fertilizers are
made.
But now a new danger threatens the
spring fertilizer supply. The labor
supply has failed. The needs of the
munition plants and the shipyards
have been so great as to seriously
drain the fertilizer factories. Many
plants have lost 80 to 40 per cent of
their labor, and there Is no prospect
for improvement by next spring.
In normal times spring fertilizers
are turned out by working the fac
tories at high speed during the late
winter and early spring months. Only
half as many labOrers are employed In
November and December as in Febru-
airy and March.
With the present difficulty of getting
labOrers, it can be seen how remote Is
the chance of speeding up to double
production next spring. There is only
oneNway to get out the fertilizer tom
mage needed for next years crops, and
that is to start in now and run every
factory as best it may every day from
now until spring.
But manufacturing every day must
mean shipping every day. Fertilizer
factories do not have and cannot get
storage space for this tremendous
bulk Of goods. Finished goods must
be loaded directly on the cars and
shipped to the consumer.
Here is where the farmer must help.
He must place his order Immediately
and accept immediate shipment. In
no other way can the problem be
solved.

CAN AMERICA PRODUCE
HER OWN POTASH?

New light is thrown on this inter-
esting question by facts and figures
contained in a recent publication of
the bureau of soils of the United
States department of agriculture.
Bulletin No. 572 gives careful
analysis of the probable potash sup
ply to be had from the cement indus
try when apparatus for its recovery
has been universally installed.
On the basis of an average produc-
ton of 90,000000 barrels of cement,
the total potash escaping at present
amounts to about $1,000 tons annually.
1t has been demonstrated commercial
ly that 80 per cent of this potash. is
recoverable and experiments show
that 30 per cent of this amount Is in
available form or may readily be made
available. On this basis we would
have a production of approximately
10000 tons Of available potash each
year.
Since only about 80 per cent of the
potash In the raw material Is ordInarS
lily volatilized In the process of making
cement, as handled at present. there
is prospect of still further quantities
to be made available from this
source.
The present high prices of potash
are encouraging installation of collect
ing apparatus and when once installed
the cost Of potash recovery Is small.

do best on q fertile soil that Is neither
extremely light and open nor too heavy
and compact. The bean Is a legume,
capable by virtue of its root structure,
Of taking nitrogen from the air, but
owing to its brief growing season the
nitrogen-gathering bacteria on the
roots have but a short space Of time in
which to fix nitrogen. Fertilizers used
on beans should supply nitrogen as
well as phosphoric acid and potash.
The rapid growth and early maturity
secured through the use of fertilizers
are also valuable In enabling the crop
to escape rust. blights or early froets.
