offer was to create discord among the
Italians, to weaken their resistance

unrest among the Austrian people.

PLOW FIRE GUARDS TO PROTECT
GRAIN

Washington, D. c., September s.
Fire guards of one or more burrows
should be plowed around all fields of
shocked or stacked grain, advises the
United States Department of Agricul-
ture, to prevent conflagrations start
ing from the sparks of Locomotives,
tractors, threshing engines or from
the careless use of matches, pipes or
cifiarettes. The exigency of the stu
alton demands that farmers who prev
iously have opposed furrowed fire
guards now make practical applica-
ton of this control. Farms also
should have available lre-fghtinc
equipment such as chemical eXtin-
guishers or barrels and buskets OF
water, the department suggests.

The CoNTAGION OF VICTORY.

The whole world has been struck with the new hght-
Ing spirit shown By the French and British army in the
past month. The Victories won over the Germans have
not been due to numerical superiority on the battle
front Their primary cause has been the rejuvenauon of
the allied armies. The French and British troops are
nghting now with the fresh spirit Of 1910, aided by all
he experience gained in four years Of struggle.
That long grind had wearied them. IL was an army Of
well trained and brave soldiers that Gen. Foch took
over when ne assumed 5he allied command, but it was
also a stale. discouraged army. No aggregation Of men

Why this sudden change in allied morale The
answer. By this time. is obvious. II was the Americans
who restored that lost punch And il was not so much

Other Editor, Than Ours
SPAIN.
NeWS.l

The Spanish government decided on Saturday TO take
over all the German steamships informed i'm Spanish
ports. In doing this the government Is merely carrying
out the pohcy outlined i'm its recent note 70 Germany.
The military masters of that country evidently did not
think that the note was seriously meant, for they pro-
ceeded TO sink another Spanish steamship. Yet there
was nothing else that Spain could 90. II is said that the
German government is raging over the situation in
Spain. This. we think. is quite likely.
The German government always RACES when il meets
With an opposition 10 its policy. The case is perfectly
clear. After enduring patiently the insults heaped on
her by the Germans, spain finally announced that she
proposed 10 safeguard Spanish interests. Germany then
expressed regret over the sinking OF spanish ships. and
offered so make restitution. This was all that could
be asked. But after this arrangement was made another
Spanish vessel was sunk by a German submarne. Il
was. therefore. clear that there was 10 be no change
iu German policy.
SO We have the declaration that all German ships in
Spanish ports Will be taken over. What the result Of
this viii be is not Yet know. Germany may rage
and stop with that. IL is said that the imperial govern
ment does not desire war since il fears Spanish i'm
fueuce i'm South America, which is recognized as power
ful. Nor is IL probable that even a war-mad nation
would. at such a time as this. care 10 add a new enemy
TO the present combination. However, Spain may have
something 10 say about future developments. II the
Germans keep on destroying Spanish ships that may
preciptate matters. The situation is manifesly critical
