SPORTING NOTES.

Peter Lees, of Lynbrook, Long Island, noted grass expert and golf course constructor, who has the sup ervision of the turf, of the Essex County Country c Tub, the Garden City Golf Club, the St. Albans Golf Links, contemplates going South this winter. He built the Lido Links, at Long Beach, which is regarded as the most severe test of golf in this coun- try.
 The Innisfalls soccer trophy team of St. Louis represents" the Irish of that city. The Irish population must be very small or amazingly remark able when such fellows as Becker, schimmel, Bergen, Schweppe, Oeller- ban, all Germans, and Palaces and Mendenes, Spaniards, are on that team. However, William Foley is the manager of the Irish football con- bination.
 The National association of minor leagues intends to see that the prin- ciple of self determination for the small leagues is carried out correctly. It has no desire to be devoured by the major league empire and maybe this is the reason John H. Farrell is planning to make his position as sec- retary of the association more com mandinS. MT. Farrell has usually been president of a league on the side but he says he must devote more time to the growing business of the asso- citation.
 Sergeant Ed. P. Goodnow, son of one of the best-l1nown of the Braves stockholders, writes from France that he saw Grover Cleveland Alexander in France just before the armistice was signed and that Aleck was giv- ing a crowd of French kiddies the time of their lives in splashing all over a big fountain in the center of the village. Aleck told Sergeant Goodnow he was just pining to get back into baseball when the fight for freedom was over, and that he was in good physical condition but didn't know much about his arm, as he had taken part in but two practice games since he reached Europe Boston Herald.

GET THE MEN TO THE FARM

the country where men are agoniz
ing over this question. They are
begging for help. Their planting
time is upon them. They haven't
the men to plant for them, besides
why should they be such fools as to
plant what they can't harvest?
Would you start something YOU
couldn't finish-and lose money?
If you want more evidence, read
the papers. A great New York daily
carried four columns of front page
article Sunday, March 3. And ii
you're not satisfied read the report
OF the secretary OF agriculture of
the United States, who admits this
condition and states that the depart
ment OF agriculture is doing what
it can to cope with it, and that he
hopes-hopes, mind you-that the
labor shortage will be met.
Is this a question to be met with
hope, Is this a problem to be
solved with some city gardens, and
a few volunteer high school boys
and girls to work on few farms?
When war was declared with Ger
many, we called on every man be-
tween p and 81 to be ready to fight
to defend the national honor and
defend our liberties. But this food
question is greater question than
the war peril-The success or fail
ure OF the war depends on it. We
must feed our allies and our army
and navy or they'll have to quit cold.
the bravest man alive can't fight il
he's starving. Our very lives de
pend on it. Your life. Mine. The
lives OF all of us.
Consider the scientific way in
which we went to war, and the un-
scientific way in which we go to
work. We have met the war uues-
ton fairly to the best of our abil-
ity, and ere not meeting the food
question at all.
There's only one way to meet it.
Double the crops. Get men to the
farmer. Get them to him at once
so he can plant. Keep them at it
till after harvest. Subsidize the far
mer, or subsidize the farm hand.
Double their wages-do anything
, but get then.
If necessary, draft them. Draft
two million men, and put them at
work on the land, Just as the men
who are fighting were drafted. Put
them under the same conditions. At
that they'll be better off than the
boys at the front, for they won't
be risking their lives-and nine
tenths of them will come home-at
harvest time-with back to the
land" bee in the bonnet.
Ii this question is put squarely
up to the people of this country
and our desperate need explained
public opinion will back a draft No
one will object-least OF all the men
who have to go. And this is the
only remedy in sight. Get men to
the farmer-now.

"HEADS UP. ="

In a published letter from an
American soldier in France to his
parents in this country occurs this
sentence: Its got to be heads
up and win the war with us every
minute, and wen pull through"
The letter was written, Of course,
some weeks before the launcing Of
the big German drive. But the
words might just have we'll been
spoken or written in the face Of this
last terrible onslaught Of Prussian-
ism. 1t shows the spirit and cour-
age and determination OF our own
soldiers and OF their comrades in
the armies of our allies. They
know no doubt or Encouragement.
The writer said further: DO try
to make people realize at home that
this war means everything, abso-
lutely everything that is worth while
and we've got to win it, 1t is the
supreme test OF might against right.
We are fighting not only for Amer
lea but for the very rock foundation
OF civilization and liberty"
All OF which the people al home
do realize and are coming TO appre-
ciate more fully every day. We and
our allies are not fighting blindly
at the command OF an imperial mas
ter as are the German troops. And
therein lies the great source Of our
strength. Knowing what the war
means, what we are fighting for
we are able to endure to the last and
10 hold out until our victory is won.
\ college professor has said al
most the same thing to hi, students
as he has urged them to look deep
er into the war than miles OF bat
tleground gained or lost. HE who
builds up the understanding Of what
this war means is building for the
strain of the months and, perhaps,
the years OF war to come He is
cultiyating and pruning the tree
from which must come he fruit
that will ultimately lead to victory"
1t teaches the civilian to say with
the soldier, Heads up and win the
war"

wrath in official German circles and
in those which are influenced by Of
fetal circles. But was this anger al
ways genuine? Has not Wilson per-
haps discovered the right way out
after all Time will tell.
Ii seems plain to us that Ger
many which understood and would
pass on the cry away from Prus-
siaM could win the sympathy OF the
rest OF the world in a moment. Ger
manv's future history would run in
different tracks. Whoever can not,
or dare not. think this thought be
longs logically among the P,n-GeC-
manistS and deserves to share their
fate. One can only paint in SOM
Der colorS what would happen to
the individual German after the war
in case the Prussian spirit grew still
stronger. Germans would be out
lawed by the rest of the world. If
any Of our readers think that such
pesSimism is exaggerated they will
themselves see, if they live, either
the one or the other historical solu
tion of the PrusSian question
On the one hand, however, it is
quite comprehensive and worthy OF
recognition that the Germans them
selves should wish to regulate their
internal relations. On the other
hand, wisdom demands that the
views OF foreign nations be consid-
cred, for in the end Germany must
resume relations with the rest Of
mankind, The world will never be
reconciled to PruSSianiSm, whether
the powers OF central Europe win or
lose .Or whether peace by arbitra-
ton j., possible. Therefore in any
case it is advisable for Germany to
open way for an essential division
between Germanism and Prussian-
ism. If no such step is taken the
soul OF Germany is irreyocably lost.
At any rate the final decision OF
German policy must be entrusted to
other hands fthe old confidence in
German diligence. German handi-
craft and German science is ever to
return, We do not at all mean that
Z total revision must be a bloody
revolution. 1t would fully suffice,
if all truly intellectual circles in
Germany We're willing to cooperate
for the de-PruSsianization OF Ger
many. The question OF whether it
should be a monarchy or a republic
seems less important. Among Aus
lrian or German princes persons
could easily be found who possess
enough understanding and will pow
cr to help the true German spirit,
which has been sleeping, to rise
again. Ii Germany should renounce
being confessedly military state,
the militariSm Of other lands would
be done away with. Now Hohen-
zollcrn-Brandenburg- Prussia owes
its present position to miltarism.
This overlordship, in order to keep
up its influence, will always wish to
use the people in arms For this
reason the Hohenzollern hegemony
is and remains the curse upon all the
German races. A half dozen ap-
parent reforms to which Prussia
condeScends do not make much dill
ference. Therefore, total revision is
what we must work for.

The greatest question before the
American people today is where
with shall we be fed?' We neglect
to answer the question because we
don't have to answer it now. Some
OF rs won't even admit that it is 4
question.
Reginald has always gone to Rec
tors after the show; there's al
ways been filet mignon and mush-
rooms. Spike, the truck driver, has
always gone into that quick lunch
around the corner and called for
ham and"-and from some mys-
terious region ham and has ap-
peared. Why should filet mignon
and ham and fail to answer
present as long as one has the
price?
Reginald has every confidence in
Rector's and Spike places unbound
ed dependence in the quick lunch.
1t is absolutely inconceiyable to
either of them that their haven OF
food should fail them.
And they won't believe it-now-
they won't even consider tor try
to understand it, until one day the
food card will softly step up and
tap them on the shoulder. There
after Spike will have to get along
with lightweight portion OF war
bread once in a while-and the best
Reginald will get will be shredded
peanuts and split prune for break
fast-and the wing OF a shrimp every
other Thursday. Yet ii you warn
them-they call you Calamity Howl
er.
It's a terrible thing, for people to
have to listen to a Calamity Howl
er, and read his dire prophecies,
when there are so many pleasant
things to do; but it's worse, much
worse, to be a calamity howler; see
calamity approaching slowly but re-
lentlessly and feel that howling is
in vain.
Yet calamity IS coming. we have
had a Slight foretaste of it this win
ter. We have had meatless days
and porkless days and wheatless
days and we've had to deprive poor
Fido OF the daily Jumps of sugar
he so gracefully poises on the end
OF his nose and gobbles up on com
mand, but what we've had is moth
ing to what we will have this time
next year.
Short rations will be with us and
instead OF feeding Fido sugar we
may be appraising him with hungry
and speculative eyes. The question
can be stated in thirty words. We
need more food staples than we
raised last year and we're not go.
ing to raise nearly as much as we
raised last year because the farmer
can't get labor.
Does this sound like panic, like
fright, like a bogy man? Ask the
farmer. There are meetings all over
