time without increasing beyond
certain maximum the rate at which
they would reach the firing line. No
matter how excellent and thorough
the home training is it is absolutely
necessary for every arm of the ser
vice to go through a second course Of
special training on this side of the
ocean before they are ready for
those special tasks which infantry.
gunners airmen and observers all
have before them in this war. ~
That is perhaps the most charac-
teristic difference between the pres
ent campaign and those Of the past,
and, indeed, between the present
state of this war and the conditions
as they were in its opening months
and before July, 1915. A mass of
quite novel, highly technical and
highly differentiated activities have
developed for which special training
upon the spot, namely in Europe, is
absolutely necessary before the
troops can be used at all.
The enemy's prolonged delay was
based upon the balance struck be-
tween all these advantages and dis
advantages. s.-

BRIEF DELAY ..
GIVES SLIGHT ADVANTAGE.

The curb is, as may be imagined,
a very fluctuating one. Four months
is merely the average delay in the
return to the front OF men from the
hospital. Bad cases take much
longer, and even in the four months
period there is not constant rate
Of return throughout. You have
first the very light cases-from five
to ten per cent Of the total-coming
back to the lines nearly at once.
Then there is a period Of from six
to nine weeks during which the
drain Of return falls heavily. This
is the period during which the men
not seriously wounded are being
cured. At the end Of this critical
period, which is Of varying length
according to the nature Of the fight
ing, the curb takes rapid rise
again, representing the influx of
great numbers of men whose cure is
now complete. Then comes q period
Of fairly evenly rising period.
during which the graver cases grad
ua1ly and at a pretty regular rate
return to the army at dates which
have been postponed, according to
the gravity or the complication Of
their wounds.
1t will be seen from this that a
very brief delay gives you but a
small advantage in the war Of re-
from hospital returns,
and that very prolonged one, such
as four months, would hardly be
worth ones while unless there were
no adverse factors-that is, unless
the delay might be indefinitely pro-
Ionged without this advantage, a
condition which in practice never
occurs. 1t will also be seen that
between these two extremes-after
some such delay, as from six weeks
at least to say nine weeks at most
you get a comparatively sudden and
large increase at the expense of hav--
ing waited for that length Of time.
In other words, a delay of from six
to nine weeks from this viewpoint
alone is the delay of maximum eff
cheney. It is worthy Of note that the
ninth week from the beginning Of
The German offensive closed on
Thursday, May %, four days be-
fore the opening of the new, attack.

THE ADVANTAGES
TO THE ALLIED SIDE.

The other side Of the picture is
he has incurred by his delay. This
takes three forms. The first is the
considerable strain on the civilian
population Of Germany which in
creases rapidly during the last four
months before the harvest. The
next advantage which his opponent
gets Gust as much as the German
does) is recruitment in the way OF
hospital returns coming back and of
young men growing old enough to
be brought into service. Lastly and
much the most important factor Is
the growth of the American forces
in France.
The first of these - economic
strain, concerns the German least.
The strain this year is probably not
quite so severe as it was last year;
only in especially adverse circUm
stances is the strain which has not
lasted so long brought to point
where the tone of the nation is low
cred beyond what it was last year.
AS against that you must set the
fact that habit also tells At any
rate, this economic strain is the
least of the three things that the
enemy has to consider for the mo-
ment.
The second factor, the growth Of
the opponents strength by the re-
turn of their wounded and the grad
ual incorporation in the armies of
lads growing to military age, the
enemy notes, but he also notes the
determination of the French never
to use lads as young as he himself
does-it has been the consistent
French policy from the beginning,
and the fact that the large number
Of prisoners he has recently taken
count as permanent losses to us. Of
these no one returns.
The third factor, the American re-
cruitment is a serious one for the

present year, lads born between jan
uary / and December 81, in the
year 1900. This class should fur
nish in theory well over a half mil
lion men after the insufficiently de-
Veloped on the INSULT ciently healthy
have been Weeded out.
But in practice when you thus call
up a class so long before its normal
time you do not get more than 450,-
600. 1T is also clear that you can
use the elder part OF this class before
You can use the younger There is
a whole years difference in age be-
tween the two extremes and this at
the period of adolescence when a
year makes very great difference.
1t will be full month before the
first half Of this class has reached
the age of eighteen, and although
the class has all been called UP and
is now all being trained 1t would
almost certainly be waste of mate
rial to put in fighting units boys act
ually. under eighteen years of age.
The result could not be worth the
ultimate expenditure In the lowering
Of the physical standard and in the
increased proportion of sickness. IL
we say that the class of 1920 viii
provide ready in depots and only
gradually, of course, to be drafted
into line almost 100000 lads by the
end of next month we have-even
under extreme conditions OF strain
which are now affecting the enemy
put the figures too high.
The very fact that this class is
being put into training and will be
called into line proves the extreme
pressure under which the enemy is
now working, for no German class
in the past has been called up any
thing like so early.
We are now in a position to per-
ceive what the effect Of the delay
will be upon recruitment for the
enemy. He will have within the
near future from both sources of
recruitment-the hospital returns
and the new plans-more than ESQ.,
600, but much less than 100000 men
to make good that loss of
some half million which he incurred
in his offensive which ended some
six weeks ago. In other words, he

enemy. The decision of the American
authorities to allow their troops to
be brigaded with the French and
British, undoubtedly upset his cal
culatiohs. He thought of the Amer
lean menace in terms of slowly ma
turing American divisions with their
staffs holding whole sections of the
line. He finds it coming on him far
more rapidly in the shape Of sepa-
rate battalions under the existing
staffs and intermixed with the strong
existing forces.

THE NEW CLASSES
CALLED UP,

The second element of recruitment
is the new class already called up
and being trained, or which is al
ready, in depots and upon which the
army can draw to fill its gaps. This
new class is in the present case the
German class of 1920-that is, the

THE NEED TO TRAIN

What he sets against these factors
adverse to his hopes, is first the adj
vantage Of a homogeneous army
like his own over any army made up

NJ. S. Shrock, county agricultural
agent, strongly urges the planting
of a large acreage to potatoes in
Umatilla county this spring for
reasons of both patriotism and
profit. He says:
ut is natural for people to plant
potatoes in great quantities when
they are high and plant few or
none when they are low. 1t seems
foolish to do this, but nothing is
more certain than that very thing.
We are therefore not surprised to
learn that 3400 acres less are being
planted in Oregon and we will not
be surprised to find them selling for
a long price year from now. Let
us try to avoid such calamity. We
are asked to produce food, and
more food. We are asked TO sell
our wheat and eat potatoes. We
must have potatoes if we are to
have liberty and peace. Every po-
tatO grown is like a bullet aimed at
