Bruising in Threshing.

To determine the bruising in
threshing, M. Walden, a Swedish in
;vestigator, immerses used grain in
0.4 per cent cosin solution, then
washes in water. The grain in the
best condition, remains uncolored
and is rated as 0; that colored on the
end is one-fourth; that with half of
the surface colored is one-half; and
that wholly stained is one. This
gives a means of selecting perfect
grains or of testing germinative val
ne with various degrees of mutila-
ton.

Article From Moscow "Mir''
Says Presidents evil to
Kill Keeps Up War;"

WITH THE FRENCH ARMY IN FRANCE.
Oct. Is (delayed) A tract attacking
President Wilson. purporting to be
quotation from an article in the news
paper Mr. Of Moscow, has been widely
distributed among the German troops.
II follows:
"Rumors OF an imminent general
peace have lately spread through west
ern Europe. Spain and the Vatican have
made particular efforts in that direction
However noble those efforts were. they
were destined to break in face Of tho op-
position OF the United States.
at is now accordingly absolutely evil
dent that the determination to kill
emanated from the white House at
Washington, and is concentrated in the
person Of President Wilson. 1t goes
without saying that the doctor Of
philosophy, President. Democrat and
humanitarian Woodrow Wilson will be
able to invent the best of reasons to
justify a continuation Of the war. But
those reasons will teach US nothing. Do
we not find them In the history Of all
sacrilegious wars?
"Pharaohs Of Egypt always pretended
to obey the will OF the gods when they
ordered sanguinary vengeance. Rome
massacred people in the name OF the
republic. The Caliphs sought in Islam
Justification for the cruelty Of their
wars and the conquerors OF the Middle
Ages shed blood in the name of Christ.

What difference then Is there between
Wilson. who came out of Philadelphia
(sic) university. and any sort Of q GRIM
inal like Caesar? The FIRST defends the
continuation Of the war before the
| American Senate. The second justified
beach OF his crimes before the Roman
Senate. The President and Caesar have
recourse to the same rhetorical means
to defend the deseneracy Of their States
what balm can the niceties Of the
Presidents oratory bring to the sacrt-
fees of this war? II we speak OF Presi-
dent Wilson only. 1t is not to pardon
other imperial schemes. But in the
presence Of the cruel truth that fol
nearly Ave years human blood has

that we point out to human Justice the
man who may be reproached by human
ity with the prolonging of this horrible
butchery.
To-day the peoples aspire for peace
America and England alone pretend &c
remain deaf to pacific propositions. be
they due to the initiative of the Russian
Government, of the Pope or Of neutra

ITO the very end.' that is their only
reply To what end? Must Europe per

from the globe? Do you want the ole

$2O,OOO,OOO RAISED
AT TAFT LOAN RALLY
unconditional Surrender
Slogan Arouses Great En-
thusiasm in Carnegie Hall.

Liberty bond subscriptions amounting
to more than s2o,oo0,Ooo were gained
last night at the big end OF the drive
rally in Carnegie Hall. which has been
a feature of each of the Liberty Loan
campaigns.
william Howard Taft was the prin-
cipal speaker. and he was aided in
arousing the enthusiasm of the audi
ence by detachments from the Foreign
Legion, the Bersaglieri of Italy and
British and American soldier and sailor
veterans.
The slogan Of Unconditional sur
render" voiced by Mr. Taft as the key
note of an address which lasted for
more than an hour and was Interrupted
every two minutes by cheers, was re-
peated again and again in every corner
Of the hall, and subscriptions came in
at a lively rate. Also there were war
trophies offered at auction. one of them
being the first American flag to be car
ried across the German lines: another
was Marshal Fochs cane. an article of
little use to him in the last four years.
Mr.. Taft's speech differed but little
from the Liberty Loan speech which has
been uttered from thousands Of plat
forms by thousands Of orators in each
Of the four campaigns. He told of the
beginning. middle and end-which he
declared to be approaching-of the war
and reminded the audience that IL II
wanted overwhelming victory it had 10
pay for II and that now was the time
10 pay. This. he said. costs more than
a negotiated peace.
Every seat held a copy Of the recent
telegram from Gen. Pershing. telling
how the A. E. F. confidently expects the
nation to back 1t up.
Mr.. Taft offered set of resolutions
he had prepared on the train while or
his way to the meeting from Washing
ton II was to this effect:
The people Of the city of New Yorl
assembled In Carnegie Hall. are resolved
that the proper object Of this war car
