MOSCOW, May 15.-The German re-

"a. due TO the international situation

cd that it was difficult to maintain
neutrality for a country which had not
the power to protect it.
The possibility of a German-Japan-
se understanding regarding the Far
Fast is intimated In this connection,
the "Izyestia" published this morning
extracts from German newspapers
nurporting to prove that this will
eventually take place. The "Vossische
zeitung" says:
aEyents are now ripening in the Far
East which should give German poll
tieans a clear hint. Japan and Ger
many are two world powers which
there is not the least conflict of in
terest because Germany has no mill
tary interests in the Pacific. She only
wants to satisfy her commercial in
tsrests in Eastern Asia and for many
years will not create competition for
Japan, but rather furnish her useful
sources Of income. Therefore, we do
not doubt for a minute that these two
powers will within a short time under
stand each other politically and cease
pursuing each other because of the
identity Of their interests"
The alrestia" concluded, from Ger
man utterances, that Germany is sup

and says: "1t is interesting to know
whether the Allies will consider these
circumstances or whether they will

MOSCOW, Friday, May 1.-THE City

HELP THE FARMER

Americas farmers as well as her
men in the trenches have truly been
going over the top this spring. They
have a wheat crop coming on which
will at least put America out of fear
of a wheat famine, fear which has
kept her watching for the past year.
The farmer has been successful in
beginning his spring drive, but there
are problems which he must yet face.
By no means least of these is the prob
lem of labor. The constantly increas-
ing scarcity of farm labor of the past
few years has of course been greatly
emphasized by war conditions.
The farmer can expect help from two
sources. The recent law passed re-
Quiring that all persons shall be en-
gagged in a productive occupation will
help solve the problem. But students
throughout the country can also help,
high school boys as well as those
not called in the draft 1t is the duty
of everyone who can to help the farm
er go over the top with his wheat
crop. Nothing the high school boy
could do would help his country
more.

YALUE OF TYPHOID VACCINE

One great stride that science has
made in the last few years has been
the control of typhoid in our armies,
During the Civil War there were 49,
1856 deaths from typhoid fever. More
than a third who had this disease
died. In our war with Spain one
soldier out of five had the disease, and
Sc per cent of these succumbed to it.
In the Boer war more than one
third of all the deaths were caused
by this dreaded disease.
A few years ago the United States
compelled all of her soldiers to be
yaccinated and the deaths from this
disease since that time speak for the
value of the typhoid vaccine.
In the spring of 1915 when our
national guards were on the Mexican
border although the fever death rate
. was high near the camps there was
only one case among the 10000 SOL
diers, and this was civilian who had
escaped vaccination.
In our present army, from Septem-
Der 81, 1917 to January 25, 1918, there
was an average of 722,626 men in
our cantonements and camps and only
ia of these had typhoid. If the same
ratio of cases had existed that ex-
listed in 1898, there would have been
l14,5OO cases. After the anti-typhoid |
inoculation was completed, the num-
Der of cases greatly decreased. From
December IA to January 25, there
were only six cases among nearly
1,OOO. 900 men.

PRAISE FOR THE NEGRO

A movement in the East to make ii
possible for negro women to go as
nurses in the army seems a good
thing. Negro nurses receive three
years training just as do the
white nurses, and they are generally
we'll trained and efficient at the expi-
ration of the three years. The heavy
call that the Government is now max
ing for nurses, as well as the fact that
it is better for the negro nurses to
care for the negro wounded, makes
it appropriate that they go.
Many have expressed the opinion
that the negro has not been accorded
his full and due opportunity of show
ing what valuable service he is cap
able of rendering to the country in
its time of need. General Pershing
has praised the negro for his bravery
in the present war. But in every
war the negro has fulfilled the tradi-
tions of negro bravery. The two
negro sentries who recently fought
off twenty German raiders instance
his bravery. Even Kipling, an Eng
lishman, has dedicated a poem to the
black men in his Fuzzy Wuzzy" in
which he says that hes a first-class
fighting man"
To allow negro nurses to go to
Europe would be an expansion of op-
portunity for the negro and would
have a good moral effect. 1t would
hearten the race in this country and
be encouraging for the black soldiers
who are bravely fighting the battles
of liberty and of democracy abroad.
