Something like 100000 men

Where does this army of harvest

does Pershinp'S army ot FIGHTERS

banks and farms and offices and
shops, from every trade, every pro-
feSslOn, every walk of American

of harVesterS comes from the VILLAGES

every calling, men of every kind,
who left their town affairs for few
weeks and tlOCked to farms for pre-.
c!Sely the same reasons that their
relatives ard friends came to the
colors--to play a part in winning

Kansas is using as much outside
farm labor as could be secured, of
course but that supply is sufficient
to fill only a small part of the need.
Kansas is doirG what every state
has done or must do harvest its
own crop with Its own labor, for the
most part.
Kansas towns have shut no

period of the harvest. Men from
towns and cities have left their
comfy jobs and professions and are
putting in few weeks of the tough
est work they ever tackled-doing
it for sheer patriotism, although, of
course, they earn harvest hand

German Efficiency

Occasionally we stillhear reference
to the much Wanted German
efficiency" These references come
mostly from either positive pro-
German sympathizers or from tim
orous souls who throw fit when
ever this dreadful war" is mention
ed People of intelligence have
long ago learned TO estimate this
efficiency at its true value. aud
have ceased to stand in awe of it
The efficiency of Germany is pure
ly an efficiency of constant applica-
ton. Her present militant condition
is the result of lifetime of unre-
hitting attention in every conceiv-
able angle of the game of war.
While the other nations of the
earth were quietly pursuing the
paths of peace, Germany was strain
ing every nerve and devoting all
her accumulations of men and
means to the tasks of creating an
army and armament before which
the world would find it impossible
to stand. During most of this time
she was hypocritically participating
in the Hague conferences and pro.
posing total disarmament of all
nations. but in the light of recent
developments we know that during
all this discussion her war prepare
tons we're never slackened.
Even Germany's efficiency in the
arts and sciences has been made
to serve the dread Moloch of War.
In extending her influence among
the nations of the earth in these
branches, she has been for years
building spheres of influence" in
other words, nests of spies and
potential traitors against the day
when their services should be need
ed by the fatherland.
Yes, Germany has efficiency.
Efficiency IN cold-blooded assass-
ination. evidenced by the brutal
destruction of vessels by her sea
vipers, when even women and
children attempting to escape in
open boats have been shelled,
maneled and sunk; evidenced by
her wanted destruction of civilian
life by her airplanes and Zeppelins;
evidenced by the deliberate murder
of prisoners of war who, by all the
laws of nations, should have receiv-
ed honorable and human treatment.
Efficiency in perfidy, as witness
ed in her rape of Belgium, for no
other reason than that she stood
between a brutal tyrant and his
intended victim; evidenced by her
attempt to array other nations a.
gainst our own country, at the same
time her representative to our
capital was shedding crocodile tears
for his forced departure and separa.
ton from his dear friends in
America" Doubtlessly he took
with him for the perusal of his
butcher master full proofs of his
treachery while enjoying our hospi-
tally and esteem.
The Germany of other days was
noted for efficiency. but that effici-
ency has been prostituted to most
ignoble ends.
o God save us from such effici-
ency.

wOrkins-the women peeling pota-
toes and washing dishes and cooking
food for the harvesters; the boys
fitting in at every sort of odd job
for which they are sufficiently
strong or skillful-the men thus
being free to devote their entire
energy to the actual harvest.

GERMANS DID NOT LOOK
FOR STRONG OFFENSIVE

New York, Aug. 29.-The Germans
did not reckon with the possibility of
a strong Allied counter offensive such
as that undertaken by General Foch
in July in shown by the dispatches in
the German newspapers of that month
These dispatches emphasized the i'm
portance of the previous successes
gained by the German offensives on
the Western front and enumerated
the huge material losses sustained
by the Entente Allies. A Wolf Blu
reau dispatch published in Cologne
Gazette stated that the extent to which
the enemy fighting power has been
weakened during the first three
months of the German offensive is
shown beyond a doubt
Another dispatch of that Bureau
published in the Berlin Tageblatt said
THE new developments in the west
have brought the army high COM
mand tremendous step nearer to
the destruction of the front of the
enemy and their fighting means"
