Yankees as Eager to Get to

Y. M. c. A. MAN LAUDS MEN
American Soldiers Full Of "Pep" and
Keep Huns GuessIne-TeIIs How
Men Were Rushed to
Picardy Line.

Misunderstanding are over there
for the fights sake. In three months
in France, although i encountered
thousands of American soldiers and
talked personally with hundreds, did
not meet one who wasn't just as keen
TO get to the front as-well-as
boy is to get to the circus"
Any pacifist. pro-German, or other
nondesc1ipt laboring under the i'm
preston that the American troops are
fighting because they have to. rather
than because they want to, would be
quickly disillusioned after a chat with
Ralph w. HARRISON, Pittsburgh bust
ness man, member of the national war
work council of the Y. NJ. c. A. and
head of commission representing
TINT body, which has Just returned
from a special mission to France.
Mr.. HARRISON spent 26 hours with
the Rainbow division under heavy fire
In a certain one of the American sec
tors.
This used to be a quiet part of
the front" Mr.. HARRISON explained.
THAT is, it was quiet until the Yam
KEGS came. Among the troops who had
previously held these trenches there
had been less than score of casual
ties in over year. The Boche moved
about pretty much Is he pleased
and really led placid life.
Keep Huns Guessing.
Now things are different. Yankee
ingenuity is fairly outdoing itself to
make life miserable for Fritz. Worry
ing him is the daily-and nightly
pastime.
"The thing that you cannot get away
from is the high morale of our men.
1t fairly exudes from them. They
have lots of pep are up on their toes
every minute and are sending over
ten shells for every three that come
our way.
"These Americans also seem to have
Il monopoly on initiative. They keep
Fritz on the jump and have him
guessing all the time. But the thing
that makes you proudest is that they
are playing the game like real sports
men and in their conversation and con-
duct even In the front lines reflect the
highest ideal of America today"

men, Mr.. HARRISON said, were well

WESTERN CANADA'S
CROPS
Got an Excellent Start. Big
Yields Now Assured.

Never in the history of Western
Canada did the seed enter the ground
under more favorable conditions. The
weather during the month of April
was perfect for seeding operations,
and fron.vearly morning until late at
night the seeders were at work. and
every acre that could be proatably
sown wan placed under requlsition.
Farmers entered heart and soul into
the campaign of greater production.
There was the time and the opportu-
nifty for careful preparation. and as
consequence with favorable weather
from now on there will be vastly in
creased yield. They realized 1t was
duty they owed to humanity to produce
all that they could on the land. not
only this year but next as well. In
addition to the patriotic aspect, they
are aware that the more they produce
the greater will be their own return
In dollars and cents.
In many districts wheat seeding was
completed by the LIST of May, after
which date oats and barley on larger
acreages than usual were planted.
AS has been said, favorable weather
conditions made possible excellent
seed-bed preparation, and the seed has
gone into the ground in unusually good
shape. The available moisture in the
soil has been added to by rains, which
have not been so heavy, however, as to
interfere long with the work in the
fields. The grain is terminating read
lily, and on many fields the young green
blades of the cereal are already show
ing. -
An optimistic feeling prevails among
farmers that Western Canada will reap
a record harvest. If the season from
now on is as favorable as it has begun,
these hopes should be realized. Mr..
j. D. McGregor of the Federal Food
Board. who is also an old and success
full farmer in Western Canada, assert
ed few days ago at Calgary that crop
conditions throughout the Prairie
Provinces were. excellent. speaking
generally" he said, "the crops have
never gone into the ground in better
shape thar this year, and with an
even break of luck as far as the wealth
er is concerned, there should be an
enormous crop" His present duties in
connection with the Food Control
Board, taking him In all parts of the
West, Mr.. McGregor has exceptional
opportunities of observing conditions

In these days of andersen warfare,

already hazardous tasks of the ships

One of the crew was Aloysius Fawcett,
