Led by Prospect
To Accept Challenge

1t is this prospect which leads the
President to say ~ accept the chal-
lenge," and to declare that the nation
accents the challenge. And, accepting
it, he moves forward to his passionate
promise to meet German force with |
forcc-"force without stint or limit"
AS for the peace which has always
been the diplomatic aim sought IN ms
previous speeches, the President frank
~ confesses that he is IN moment
Of utter disillusonment." He gives up
talking to Austria, Austria laying aside
all pretencc. laughing in her sleeve at
Berne conferences and aligning herself |
definitely beside Germany in her mill
taristic endcavor in the West and in
Sher impcrlalistic enterprise in the East.
There is not q word addressed to the
liberals Of Germany. The frank ad-
mission is made that the only persons
to talk to are the military masters of
the Germans and that the only Ian.
guage they talk is the language OF
force. Mr.. Wilson is ready as always
to talk peace-but it is better to give
his own words:
Cor myself, I am ready, ready still,
ready even now, to discuss fair and
just and honest peace at any time
hat it is sincerely purposed-a peace
il which the strong and the weak shall
f2Ya alike. But the answer, when 1
proposed such a peace, came from the
German commanders in Russia, and
cannot mistake the meaning of the
answer"
Evidence that the President at last
means force lies in The rapid rushing
OF troops to France since Lloyd
Georges appeal for men. 1t is strength
cned by the understanding that future
drafted men will receive short training
in the environments in this country.
They, it is reported, will be sent to
France for training behind the front,
and for prompt absorption into the
trained forces there.
No Longer to
Play at War
We shall no longer, if this report
French call long training away from
the scene of action, such as we have
been giving our armies.
It IS expected when Secretary Baker
comes back that our whole military
programme will be revised and en-
lareed Mr. Baker has seen the giant
task that lies before us if we are to
force the empire mad German people
to come to its senses. General Wood,
just back from France, having seen
what Mr.. Baker has just seen, says we
shall need an army of 100000 men.
Above all, there is need of guns
guns to overcome the present artillery
preponderance in favor of the Ger
mans. created by the victories in Rus
STA, Italy and in the recent great drive,
and guns to create a prcponderance in
our favor, the value Of which the re-
cent great drive has taught. Our gun

A CAPTAIN OF THE ooMMIssARY

The county agents constitute AM
erican agriculture's first line of de-
fense.
They are the men in the first
line trenches, zealously guarding
the farmers interests and bringing
to his attention all that is OF inn
mediate practical value in our scien-
tific teaching, and fortifying this
with results from the experience
of the most successful hard-headed
practical farmers of each county.
At time like the present, when
the nation Is engeged In al great
war wherein food production isr OF
vital military Importance, the value
Of the county agent to the govern
ment can hardly be over empha-
sized.
Since the United States became
belligerent, the county agent has
done valiant war service. In coun-
ties having agents, 1t was possible
during the past summer to secure
truly wonderful results, in quickly
and adequately meeting difficult
labor situation; in locating avail
able seed stocks; in arranging for
farm credits for the purchase of
machinery and fertilizer; in sup
plying tractor power, and in other
forms of effective leadership, all
contributing to great increase In
the production Of spring wheat,
oats, corn, potatoes and other food
crops; and, finally in assisting In
facilitating marketing.
Some of the most important bat
ties of this war will be won during
1918 in the burrows and fields of
America. The county agents will
be the captains of the soldiers OF
the commissary who will make
those victories possible.
