SHADE TREES ARE NOT
GOOD MACHINE SHEDS

Shade trees and fence corners are
not good places in which to store
farm machinery for the winter.
Storing machinery in such places
merely decreases it's life of useful
ness. Machinery experts in the de-
partment of agriculture, Univer-
city of Minnesota, say that the life
of any machine is heightened by
protection from winter, by frequent
oiling and by prompt attention to
repairs. Farm machines, therefore,
should be stored in the fall where
they can be overhauled and put in
shape for the next seasons use be-
fore the time for such use arrives.

New-York tribune., 1918-05-12
What Germany Thinks OF America at War

the pacifist-democratic idea that the
mere existence of German militarism.
which has ever felt itself an enemy of
democracy, would prevent the pacification
of the world, would make it impossible
to terminate the competition of arma-
ments.
"These lines of thought" says the
Frankfurt newspaper, "are put forth by
several leading demagogues among our
enemies against their better knowledge,
and the masses Of the American people
listen to them in sincere alarm. In fact,
there appears to prevail to-day in the
countries of the Entente a war-psychosis
such as we Germans experienced only in
the first months of the war.
"The other reasons for going to war
alleged by the President and his friends" I"
says the writer, "were more or less
pure hypocrisy. AS to the freedom OF
small nations no great power has
walked over the small neutral nations
New-York tribune., 1918-05-12

so brutally as the great Republic of the
New World. History will forget the rob-
berry of the Dutch ships just as little as
it has forgotten that of the peaceful
Danish fleet by the English in 1907"
But the paper thinks that there were
other causes besides the fear of Ger
many. "The interests of the war in
dustries," it claims
"and of high finance played a substantial
role. Then the wish of the exporters to
capture Germany's markets in Latin Amer
ica, the greed for the great German COM
mercal feet lying in American waters and
the conviction of mighty imperialist circles
that America should also have q popular
army, based upon universal military duty
which could never be accomplished in times
OF peace. Here, too, the latent opposition
to Japan undoubtedly strongly Influenced
Americas course.
"But the decisive reason for going to war
was and remained doubtless the determina-
tion to prevent the victory of Germany over
the European Entente Such policy had
already formed in previous years the basis
New-York tribune., 1918-05-12

blow the American hosts are to deal u.s.
For Germany now has obtained free hand
in the East, and that counterbalances in ad-
vance any possible help that America can
give our enemies"
Captain Persius, the well-known naval
writer, has also devoted an article in
After quoting from the Presidents ad-
dress to Congress the sentence in which
he said that America was going to war
for the rights and lioerties Of small ma
tions, Persius says that the great major
ity of the German people heard this with
painful feelings. Then he quotes, with
approval a sentence from the recent note
to the Dutch government regarding our
seizure Of Hollands ships, in which it
denies that we have been consistent with
our own maxim of helping the small ma
tions.
Persius says further, however, that
every practical political thinker had al
ready assumed that Germany's enemies
New-York tribune., 1918-05-12

of President Wilson's extremely one-sided
neutrality. The President had sought to
attain his object not merely by directly pro-
noting the interests of our enemies, but by
trying to bring about peace in which there
would be neither conquerors nor conquered.
The failure of our peace offer, as we'll as
his attempt at intermediation in December,
1916, and January, 1917, led him to doubt
whether this could be attained. The sub
jugation of Rumania and the proclamation
of the unrestricted U-boat warfare prob
ably also good information about threaten
ing events then impending in Russia,
caused him to fear that Germany's victory
was near at hand. But all these motives in
fuenced only the President and a small cir
Gle of political thinkers. The American
people undoubtedly wanted to keep the
peace; and powerful shock such as the
unrestricted U-boat campaign gave to pub
lie opinion, was actually needed in order
that the peace will of the people might be
overcome by even such uncommonly skill
full demagogism that of the President"
Finally, answering the question, What
effect the entrance of America into the
war has had the "Frankfurter Zeitung"
New-York tribune., 1918-05-12

argues that the Russian breakdown
would have shaken the determination of
the European Entente to continue the
war but for the fact that "the hope of
American help had inspired them with
the strength to hold out further" And
the paper thinks that it remains quite
doubtful whether America did the
European Allies good service by enter
ing the war and thus probably prevent
ing peace by understanding in the
year 1917"
After contending at great length that
American help has been slower than was
expected in reaching the Allies, the
paper concludes thus:
"The Entente must still let their ally be-
yond the Atlantic have time. Can they hold
out to do this? The first answer to the
question is now being given on the battle
fields of France. But even if the entire
Entente can and will keep up its madness of
a war of destruction against Germany ever
so long, it will never live to see the death
New-York tribune., 1918-05-12

despite one or two promising tenden-
cies Parliament has been unable to find
steble policy. AS things are the resump-
tion of the sittings of Parliament would
not improve the situation, but would only
sharpen political antagonism and thereby
endanger the fultilment of those economic
tasks on the successful solution Of which
everything depends.
"Untl the reassembly of Parliament,
which will take place at the earliest posi-
BILE moment, the government will devote it's
entire strength to the economic problems of
the day, especially to the task of arranging
for the nations food supply, and will try
in every way to create conditions which are
required to enable the population to hold
out"
The long and short of which is that
people suffering such pangs of hunger as
the Austrians are said now to be en-
during must necessarily renounce all
thoughts of political character.
But this adjournment has not ended
the governments troubles According to
a~Copenhagen dispatch three members of
the Cabinet resigned at the end of last
week. The Socialists, too, have by no
means accepted the adjournment in a
submissive spirit. A committee of their
Deputies, according to statement of the
"Vienna Social Demokratische Corre-
spondenz," decided to publish manifesto
containing this ominous sentence:
New-York tribune., 1918-05-12

closing of Parliament as coup detat,
and adds: "That he Emperor Karl has
had to have recourse to such a desperate
measure is proof of the hopeless posi-
tion of the Austrian Empire" After as
serting that Karls inspiration came from
Berlin ''The Post" concludes:
"Now is the time for the Allies to act.
Let them come out fiatfooted with a dec
laration that the deathknelI of the Aus
trian Empire has struck and that they will
make it their business to see that Poles,
Czechs, Jugoslavs, Italians and Rumanians
shall be forever freed from the Austrian
yoke and given their freedom and indie
pendence. The day they do the 'Mittel-
europa which the Central Powers have for
the time being called into existence, will
be shattered and become once more the
stuff that dreams are made on"
"The Cleveland Plain Dealer" also
thinks that the young Emperor acted un-
der Berlin influences, and believes that
"Karl lacked the courage to face the wrath
wrath of his own people, trusting to the
support of the German Austrians and to the
continued efficacy of big promises"
"The Pittsburgh Dispatch" captions its
editorial "Back to Absolutism," while
"The Boston Globe" says this:
"The dust cloud which swirls over Aus
tria is too thick to permit US to judge how
far the internal struggle is going. But it is
sharp and may be Desperate

would replenish their tonnage in this
way, and he then proceeds:
"He ii. e., the political thinker) was in
clned on general principles to regard
Americas accession to the ranks of our op-
ponents as aggravating considerably the
tasks Of our army and navy 1t was pretty
clear to him from the beginning of the war
that the natural policy of the United States,
which is based upon the idea of the allied
AngloAmericans, would be to strive as
far as possible to prevent any defeat Of
England. Accordingly, the decision of the
authorities at Washington had to be ex-
pected as soon as the proclamation of the
U-boat campaign seemed to bring in sight
the checkmatng of England
with US people were at times disposed
to take little account of Americas part in
the war. partial change of that view
has already occurred. Nobody
who noted the enormous military power
that slumbered, scarcely suspected, in the
different countries in this war entertained
the opinion that North America would not
be able to create enormous military forces
on land and at sea. Many persons, how
ever, assumed that the creation OF such mil
itary forces would require an extraordina-
rily long time and, accordingly, that they
would not participate in the struggle at the
right time.
"This idea of participation at the right
time is connected with the hopes raised
by the resumption of the Unrestricted
U-boat campaign. Hasty judges expected
that 1t would reach it's goal within six
monthss but at present nobody doubts
that it would 90 no harm to clip the wings
of fancy that had painted too highly col
ored pictures of what the U-boat cam
paign would accomplish Those who find It
hard to undertake this clipping operation
are setting a new date for the fulfilment of
their prophecies; they say it will be this
summer.
"Will North Americas activity in the war
have reached by this time such proper
tions as to be of substantial Importance for
the Central Powers? That North America
Is able, in view of its population and re-
sources, to muster army numbering
millions is not subject to any doubt How
long time it will require to do this and
what the fighting power of these troops
shall be are other questions which, under
the existing circumstances, cannot be an
swered. 1t 10 certain, however, that North
America will succeed at no distant period
in putting in the field troops and other
things that will prove of quite valuable as
sistance for our enemies. We know that
American troops are already lighting on the
Western front, but we are ewithoutsauthentic
! information as to their number"

WAS inevitable that the Germans
should take stock of Americas first
= year in the war, for there are no
people more given to celebrations and
no editors reader to write yearly
survey Of any movement whatever than
tie Teutons.
On April the "Frankfurter Zeitung"
printed an elaborate survey of our first
year at war, giving special attention to
Me causes that induced us to go to war.
Inc paper rejects the view of extreme
apoiogists of the unrestricted U-boat
warfare, the pan-Germans, Fatherland
