CONDITIONS IN GERMANY

CONDiIIONS IN uLh-hA-Ss'
American Dentist Gives. Ills 0bserYa-
tons Of the Present State of C"nn-
try.
Flint, Mich, Jan. 11.-Dr. Will
liam Law, one Of the latest Amer
can. To reach the United States from
Germany, brings picture Of acute
distress throughout that country. de
says thes food shortage is likely to
.orce an end to the war the coming
summer. and he believes democracy
IN Germany will come as result OF
peace. Law for thirteen years has
oeen practicing dentist in Berlin,
having as clients many of the janker
class. His story of recent conditions
ii Germany is one of the most init
mate to reach the United States. His
views summarized are;
1.-THE Prussian autocracy fights to
conquer because it fears tho wrath OF
.he people. Soldiers and the people
are tired Of war, but seem powerless
now to stop it.
Socialists are growing in power,
but to date they want German
.nqae peace. The junker class holds
that Germany must fight until VIC
.orious. The German democracy must
come as la2rlt ef peace, not as .
cause leading up to It. Crops, which
have been failure the last two
years, may result in food famine in
Nay and June, and nay bring peace
this Summer.
"This Prussian dynasty" says Dr..
Law, sis in the war to win and con-
e.uer. The German rulers will die
fighting before they vii! yield on
inch. They know il they make any
thing but victorious peace they will
perish, ior the people would dispose
# them quickly once they knew they
had been betrayed.
The war is destroying Germany
and her allies, and If it should con-
TIME two or three years more they
know that utter ruin must be faced.
The German government controls ti:e
entire press Of the central powers,
fand the press keeps the people in lire
by promising them peace.
LEADERS of the Prussian govern
ment never have made any real peace
proposals, for its terms Of peace are
the terms Of victory. The proposals
they have made are all based on the
present status Of the German army.
upon how much land it has taken.
Field Marshal Won Hindenburg hos
kept up the morale of the iunkers by
promising victory, but when the army
Eegins to weaken the power OF Won
Hindenburg will break, and when no
Teuton armies are driven back to the
Rhine the Germans will settle with
his overload. The German democracy
must come as result OF peace rather
than a cause leading up to it.
Germany has set aside every IN
terest except that OF winning the
var. The government controls every
thing, and portions it out to the eivfI
population by the card system, with
fixed prices. The food supply of the
central powers win carry them
through to next spring by greatly
reducing their rations.
From May until June the time"
will be hard. Should the crop again
fasl the war probably will end ths
coming summer. for there will not b"
enough food for the people. I greatly
doubt If the soldiers will fight when
they know the people at homo are
fSyinr of sfarvation.

GARRY ON"

Garry On" is an expression that is
being made use of during these war
times, and it means to tackle job and
carry it to a finish-or, over on the
battle front, to start fight and fight
to the finish.
And the boys and girls here in the
south should get the same spirit--the
determination to finish everything
they begin. Those who have gone in
to corn club work should keep on and
never relax their determination to
make the most of their acres and turn
in a good report otter the harvest;
those in pig club work should allow no
setback to discourage them; eve just
heard of boy who lost his pig for
three consecutive years but stuck to it
and is making big success this year, ;
and those in canning club work should
not be daunted by drouth or other
things over which they have no con-
troll.
The shortage of labor and the great
need of food throws out challenge
to every farm boy and girl in the south
just as the Huns throw out e challenge
to our Samimes on the western front.
Cur boys "over there are meeting
their challenge with stout hearts and
determined mind and We should do no
less.
Now is the time to 'carry on!"

GETTING EXPERIENCE
AT A BARGAIN

There are two ways of getting ex-
perience-by personal experiment and
by studying the experience of others.
Personal experiment is usually
mighty expensive-though it usually
pays, and there are times when no 9TH
er procedure will settle a question or
solve problim.
But there are times when accurate
information about a certain farm sub
ject may be obtained at a bargain.
For example, methods of growing al
falfa successfully which probably cost
several hundred dollars to work out,
may be obtained for a postage stamp
Of two. Or your neighbor's experience
in growing a certain crop may be OBJ
tanned for the time it takes to make
a short visit to his farm. Or hundreds
and hundreds of farm experiences may
be obtained for years subscription
to farm paper. Or detailed, specific
and complete information about al
most any subject may be obtained by
buying a book.
When man goes in for something
about which he knows little, therefore,
he ought to draw on the knowledge of
others and make that venture as little
of an experiment as possible. He
should write the editors of farm pa
pers, his experiment station or state
department of agriculture, the United
States department of agriculture, con-
suit his county agent, and talk over
the matter with neighbor farmers. If
this is done, information will be OBJ
tanned that would take years of time
and hundreds of dollars to work out
and such ventures will usually turn
out overwhelming successes instead of
experiments,-The Progressive Farm
er.

THOSE WHO SAVE ALSO
SERVE THEIR COUNTRY

When he comes home, he will say;
Il served my country in the trenches.
Will you be able to say: Il also
served by saving food"
The answer to this big question
prompted the women of New Mexico
to establish at Albuquerque, N. NJ,
the first Mothers and Daughters Con-
gress ever held in America. To pre-
vent the smallest waste of food and
to give the manhood Of the state a
better understanding of the struggle
confronting the nation was the purpose
OF this first congress. Women of Span
ish and American blood were there
fred by the one thought of patriotism
and service to the nation. The great
things that will grow out of that gath
ering will spur the mothers and daugh-
tiers Of every state to a realization that
the little economies in the home are
truly big things for women in this
war. For, who, after all, is the potent
factor in saving food for the armies
and the allies if it is not the women of
the land?
Food demonstrations, at which dele
gates did the cooking, supervised by
experts, were important features of
the daily meetings. Lessons on drying
and canning of fruits and vegetables
taught the women many things which
they could carry home to their commu-
mites. These were some of the practi-
cal features of the congress.
But the biggest thing accomplished
was the installation of the will to VIC
tory in every mother and daughter
heart. The fathers and sons over there
have set their teeth in a determination
to win. The mothers and daughters
over here are also organizing for vic
tory.

GET HAY ON POOR LAND.

Use COW peas or soy beans for hay
for they yield more and better hay
than grasses. Of course red top is
the best poor land grass, especially
where it is seeded in the spring. Tall
meadow oat grass does well when
sewn in late summer. Provided the
land has been we'll lined it will grow
red clover sown with the tall oat
grass. Sow two or three bushels of
tall oat grass to the acre, along with
ten pounds of red clover.
For grazing purposes on poor land,
sow rye in the fall. If the rye is sown
early, say before October /, one could
sow red top with it, using about
twelve pounds to the acre. In either
case, sow five to ten pounds of Japan
clover to the acre about the first of
April. This is good practice in most
parts of Tennessee.

Wet leaders dissolved it and arrested
the leaders.
Russia has now absolutely no con
stitution, and has had none under the
soviet government but the will of lie,
nine and Trotsky.
The soviet also established the rec
guard, that has savagely put down al
question of Bolshevik authority, anC
there has been wholesale execution Of
men suspected of desiring the soviet's
overthrow. The soviet rulers also put
number of men to death accused Of
being implicated in the ASSASSINATION
of the German ambassador at Moscow
The red guard has also acted in
conjunction with the released German
prisoners in German interest! Every
thing they have done has been done in
such marked degree in Germany's
favor that it seems entirely evident
that they are under German control.
The fact that the soviet government
IN Russia attempted the arrest aof
the Czecho-Slovaks, when they first
organized and declared their antago-
nism to Germany, and has persistently
fought them since that time, is clear
proof of its German alliance. The
Czecho-Slovaks had no purpose of in
terfering in any way with the present
government, or any other government
in Russia, Their announced purpose
was to make their way to the western
front and join the allies. That was
what started the opposition to them
by the Soviet's red guard"
Then the Czecho-Slova interfered
to prevent the seizure of supplies in
Siberia by released German prisoners,
to be sent to Germany, and the red
guard Joined the Germans in combat
ting them in that purpose.
The expedition TO allied troops with
the Japanese-American expedition in
the lead, with no purpose against Rus
STA or the Russian people, but merely
to sustain the Czecho-Slovaks or any
other body of troops, like those under
Gen. Saminoff, fighting Germany. will
also be opposed by the troops of the
soviet.
This shows plainly that the soviet
government is a pro-German institu.
ton, intended to complete the work Of
giving Russia, bound hand and foot.
into the German keeping, the scheme
that was begun by the infamous treaty
of Brest-Letovsk.
The new government of northern
Russia, proposes democratic govern
ment in which the whole people shall
participate, and it proposes the revival
OF the national spirit and renewed war
against the Germans. The allies are
behind the government. Those who
side with the Bolsheviki, otherwise the
soviets, are opposing the allies and
are on the German side.-Nashville
