How | Fought Fritz
Even the Boche on Knees Planning to Slay by Trick
tBy DONALD McRAE,)

\
WE HAD executed dashing
w trench raid and cleared our
sector In quick order. The
only live German In sight was a Fritz
who was kneeling In supplicauon in
front OF dugiot. A couple OF my
men started In his direction to bring
him in. and they were both shot down
by n German In the odusout who
sighted with his rifle barrel under the
arm of the kneeIlng Hun. This trick
worked Just once, and II likely that
many kneeling German died there
after who would have lived had II not
been for the ruse OF his clever com
rade
II Is habitual with the Canadians
that they do not surrender ns long
, as there liz the faintest glimmer OF a
fighting chance 10 beat off their
own forces. often they are able 10
break away from the Huns aud get
back. On the other hand, the Ger
man private Is likely to give you the
impression that he has been waiting
for chance 10 surrender. Frequently
when they are being led back to our
reserve lines they are impatient lest
their co.irades overtake their party
and rescue them.

GERMAN OFFICIALS
STATE CONCRETE AIMS
REGARDING BELGIUM

COPENHAGEN. July Chan
cellor Won Hertlings announcement
on Belgium is regarded in high
German political circles, says a dis
patch from Berlin 10 the Politiken.
as merely concrete statement Of
the position long maintained by the
German government namely. that
Belgium is only a p-wn for Ger
many's use at the peace table.
The dispatch adds.
"Pres.t Wilson's speeches rad

because OF this concrete statement
was deemed necessary.
German officials take IL for
granted that Germany viii be com

FARM TRACTORS
AID MAN POWER
Enables Owner to Till More
Land and Reduces 0p-
Grating Cost.

The advantage of the TRACTOR like
that of most other improved farm
machinery. lies not so much in the
reduction Of the cost of performing
a unit of work as in the fact that 1t
permits one man TO do considerably
more work in a given time. accord
ing TO farmers bulletin 963 of the
United States department of agri-
culture. which is a report Of the eX
periences of over 900 farm tractor
owners on representative cOrn-belt
farms in Illinois collected during
1917 and the spring Of 1913. This
has been true of practically all i'm
proved farm machines the bulletin
explains. Even the grain binder,
generally considered as one of the
greatest agricultural inventions of
the century. which has increased
about eight-fold the acreage one
man could handle. has not resulted
in decreasing materially the cost of
producing grain.
Men who hope 10 reduce greatly
the cost of farming operations by
the purchase of a tractor should
bear these facts in mind. the federal
specialists point out. Judging by
the experience of tractor users. it is
not safe 10 expect any material re-
duction i'm the cost OF farm opera
tions per acre through the use Of the
tractor but IL is safe to expect TO
be able TO increase the crop acreage
10 very considerable extent. and
at the same time the amount of
crops which one man can raise.
Furthermore, il should be re-
membered that the cost OF doing the
work with q tractor I'm most cases
can not be directly compared with
the cost Of doing ii with horses. since
on farms where tractors are used a
number Of horses generally are re-
tanned. and any comparison. there
fore. must be made between the cost
of operating the farm with horses
alone and the cost of operating with
the tractor and a certain number Of
horses. Not infrequently horses
stand idle while the tractor is being
used for field work. because there
Is not sufficient help available to use
chem az the same time, and in such
cases part of the cost Of their main
tenance must be considered figuring
the cost Of farm operations. since
they are rs much a part OF the farm
power plant as is the tractor
Not only should the relative ex-
pense of operations with the two
methods be considered. but also the
relative results. The increased crop
acreage and consequent increase in
incomes which the purchase OF the
tractor Will often make possible may
crease in the operating expenses Of
the farm

Wrecks in Fifty-Year Period.

Il b impossible. Dr. Jones declares in
8he article, to give an accurate list of
the hundreds Of vessels that have strand
Cd. foundered and been total wrecks in
the waters Of Alaska during the past fifty
years..
Accidents to vessels In Alaskan
waters have caused the loss Of hun
dreds Of lives and of property to q
value not far from twenty millions,
and which would represent today, with
me high cost Of shipbuildlng, at least
80 pei. cent more. 1t will appeal to
many es n matter of very poor economy
that there Is so little protection given
TO human life and vessel property en-
and remarkable empire OF the United
States.
From 1867 to 1917 there have been
approximately 425 vessels wrecked in
Alaskan waters. with loss of about
so lives. Among these vessels were
large sailing crafts as well as freight
and passenger vessels. also some gov
efument vessels. When we stop to
