Hello! Alex and Lemolac, yo

Hello! Alex and Lemolac, you l hope not to confuse; here comes old Goosie back with a lit tie batch of news.
 Old Bodcaw seems to surmise that Goosie had gone away, but to his great surprise. old Goosie is here to stay.
 Though times may get gloomy some people may get blue, but if old Goosie ever leaves you, she will never come back to you.

 The writer may not be capable of giving advice, however 1 am going to Say that seed IHsn po- tatoes selling at $3 per bushel, Ireally think every farmer should plant sack at least, and as much more as possible. as they are an easy crop raised and come in at time when food is mostly needed. And 1 am qnite certain should any one raise a surplus they can readily market them at a fair price, as food is already scarce and gettiug scarcer every day. and as existing conditions are of such nature, 1t is the pa triotic duty of every one of us to put forth every effort to raise surplus of not only potatoes but of every edible thing that can possibly be raised here. By sc doing it will play a big part in helping win this grea war which we are now in and which Vt trnst will soon come to a close and that peace will prevai throughout the world, and tht many homes restored to bappi ness which have been sorel, troubled and broken up by loos ing their precious fathers, sons, husbands, and brothers.

/, is to show that the world conflict was
imposed by the German emperor's per-
sonal military policy and his private
engagement with Austria on the eve OF
the struggle.
DR.. Muehlon gives further details OF
his conference with DR.. Helfferich im-
mediately preceding the war, in which
Helfferich told Of the emperor's plans
toward Austria and Russia.
Altho Muehlon has been flercely at
tackled by the German government and
the reichstag. his present version is
substantially unchanged. He makes the
following addition concerning the en-
peror's agreement with Austria on, the
Serbian ultimatum:
II got the impression that the choice
of words had not been agreed upon.
! which was dangerous omission by
German diplomacy in view of the risks
Germany was taking.
I'm effect. Austria was given carte
blanche and Germany agreed without
condition to everything Austria wrote
into the note" y,
DR.. Muehlon was asked who were the
Austrians with whom the German en-
peror had made private agreement.
He said he was unable to. say posi-
lively, altho he had heard from reliable
sources that it was Field Marshal Con-
rad Won Hoetzendorf, former chief OF
the Austrian general staff.
Kaiser Calls For Support.
The former Krupp director relates an
incident following the outbreak of the
war, when the emperor required all the
German leaders to become involuntary
supporters of his war policy.
Assembling them as guests. the en-
peror exclaimed suddenly:
Nov, gentlemen, advance and, as
we grasp hands, promise me you will
stand with me to the last breath"
Commenting on this. DR.. Muehlon
says:
1.-THE guests could hardly do other
wise when thus hidden by their i'm
perial host in his own castle to shake
hands with him, and thus a vow was
exhorted which would be of value only
If given freely"
No Quarter to Prisoners.
DR.. Muehlon declares that the order
issued by the crown prince Of Bavaria
to the troops in Belgium amounted to
a command to give no quarter to pris-
oners. He adds:

Germany was wholly in agreement
with Austria Hungary concerning the
ultmatum sent to Serbia at the out
break Of the war, says DR.. Wilhelm
Muehlon, former director Of Krupps, in
further disclosures on the responsibility
for bringing on of the conflict.
Emperor William was personally re-
sponsible for Germany's participation
and forced the German leaders to sup
port his war policy.
DR.. Muehlon, who was head of
Krupps at the outbreak of the war.
and who recently startled Europe with
his disclosures, received the CORE
spondent of the Associated Press at his
country place, where he Is rcv' living
in retirement.
The visit came as Dr. Muehlon was
preparing to issue o more detailed re-
view Of conditions leading to the war
and the correspondent had the advan-
tage of going over the document with
the personal explanations of the author.
World War Plot Exposed.
DR.. Muehlon's first disclosures, which
caused such commotion, gave con-
versations with DR.. Karl Helfferich.
former vice chancellor, and DR.. Krupp
Won Bohlen, chief owner of the Krupp
works, in which both told him the en-
peror had disclosed his agreement with
Austria Hungary on the ultimatum to
Serbia and that Germany would mob

which inevitably would draw in the
other powers and precipitate uni

The document now issued is more
detailed and gives day by day. notes
made by DR.. Muehlon at the critical
time of the opening of the war.
DR.. Muehlon then had gone from the
foreign office to the directorate of
Krupps and his position gave him con-
slant access to the highest quarters.
He gives glimpses of the chief figures
from the emperor down, but in the
main avoids mention of names, for
reasons Of discretion, tho there are
likely to be further chapters later Civ

to call Engineer Peter Robinson, oE.Al-
berta, Canada. member OF the Broth
erhood Of locomotive Engineers.
brought 500 other veteran engineers
attending the recent engineers conven-
ton here to their feet as a mark Of re-
spect to the only railroad engineer who
ever Won the Victoria Cross. The con-
vention voted unanimously that Sing

of his sacrifice be published in the next
issue of the Locomotive Engineers
Journal.
P. NJ. Simpson. Medicine Hat loco
motive engineer who knew Singing
Pete" in the old western railroad days,
told the story of his comrades heroism.
He said railroad men called him "Sing-
ing Pete" because, day or night. in the
cab or the roundhouse, his song and
sunny disposition were unfailfng. Hun
dreds of comrades on the Canadian
railroads knew him by no CO ser name.
When the war came Singing Pete"
Joined the Canadians In France. His
big chance came few months ago. A
German machine gun was creating
havoc with the platoon. The captain
called for volunteers to capture the
gun. Singing Pete" was the first to
volunteer and the first to reach the
German gun. Single handed he killed
four gunners and then turned the gun
on the fleeing Germans. When the
volunteers returned to their lines they
found they had left two Of their COM
rades in mo mans land"
Pete" didn't wait for orders. He
scaled the parapet again and brought
in one of his wounded mates. He went
back for the second man. but on the
return Journey a German shell found
its mark and Singing Pete" was be-
yond human aid when the smoke
cleared away. The British government
conferred on the dead engineer the
highest honor a British soldier can win.

A. f. Kemp writes:
Tho your son has made the supreme
sacrifice his example and courage has
served and will still serve to encourage
men to heroic deeds and brave actions.

GERMANS BUYING IN ASIA.
Placing Orders for Cotton and Other
Products Years Ahead.

The Germans are steadily pushing
the tentacles Of their trade control
far into central Asia, where they are
buying up available crops. including
cotton and placing orders for many
years ahead. says the London Daily
Chronicle. The foundation of develop
mont there is in the German control
of Roumania and the Ukraine.
Control Of the Roumanian and
Ukrainian harvests would provide Ger
many not only In this but in any
future war with a complete solution OF
her food problem" The Chronicle adds
"She would also, thanks to her un-
limited access 10 central Asia nave
little further trouble with any but
tropical raw materials.
Her eastern policy can only be un-
done adequately BY the allies after
they have achieved victory. but more
attempts ought to be made now to
Illustrate present developments"

the writer expresses severe criticism of
the German aristocracy, industrialsm

fiict to place Germany in an enduring
position over the destinies Of Europe.
The chief significance Of the crit

come from one who occupied foremost
position in the public and industrial
! life of Germany.
Shows Belgium's Ignorance.
DR.. Muehlon takes up the subject of
the guns made by Krupp for the Bel
gians, which were retained by Germany
and used by her in the war. DR.. Much
lon tells how Belgium refused to ac-
cept the guns, which were for the de-
Tense of Antwerp. thus demonstrating
that Belgium had no hint of Germany's
purpose to begin the war. He says:
Belgium drew virtually all her war
material from Germany and depended
upon us for models and manufacture.
Thus % centimeter guns for fortifying
Antwerp had been ordered and were
ready for delivery. The earthworks at
Antwerp, however, were not sufficiently
advanced, and Belgium asked us to
keep them, and shortly before the war
even offered to pay storage on the guns
liz they were kept until it was con-
yenient to accept them.
"The guns, therefore. were held, and
when the war broke the Prussian war
minister took possession of these valu-
able cannon and turned them to his
own uses"

NEW ARMY ARTILLERY TRACTOR.

Latest American Production Proves
Wonder in Denomination.
Washington, June s.-The latest pro-
duction OF the army ordnance bureau,
a f1ye-ton armored artillery tractor for
hauling field guns. was demonstrated
here, with Secretary Baker. General
March, and many foreign officers pres
ent.
Hooked to At inch howitzer, the
machine ran over the rough, muddy
ground Of Rock Creek park, which re-
Gently balled the British tank Britain

It went thru bitches and holes with
out q stop, cut down trees and climbed
over the fallen trunks. dragging the
gun behind it.; climbed 45-degree hill,
where the mud was a foot deep as q
result of recent rains, and wound up
the performance by rafting down
paved avenue at twelve-mile gait,
without leaving mark on the pave
ment
The whole load including the gun
and tractor. was approximately 10000
pounds.
Officers who saw the demonstration
are convinced that no shell torn terri
tory will stop the rapid movement OF
American field guns when they are
sent to support the infantry advances.
Moreover, the machines are shrapnel
proof and can be disabled only by a
direct shell hit. Secretary Baker and
General March rode in the tractor as 1t
dragged the gun about the broken
ground. Later they pulled up and
Gown hill beside it, obviously pleased
with the machines powers.
It is proposed to equip all American
batteries above three-inch light guns
up to six-inch with tractors. They are
in production and the present month
will see a substantial number delivered
for shipment abroad. Meanwhile q
smaller type Is being worked out for
the three-inch or '75s" with the pros
pect that all American artillery will be
motorized eventually.
Besides an enormuos saving in for
age, every battery not motorized uses
horses which are killed ~ the thous-
ands when going into action.
The perfecting of the tractor which

efficiently at a sharp angle. The en-
