made an arrangement to that effect
with the uniform company.
All that any enlisted man or officer
of the army or navy has to do to dec

uniform company is to clip coupon

by MIR. Hearst The coupon is not
printed by The Tribune.
No other New York morning paper
except Hearst7s American" will print
the coupon, at least not until the army
and navy authorities have passed upon
the matter.
Hearst Explains Plan
The Tribune was informed of the
plan last night in letter on the sta
tionery of the Mayors Committee of
Welcome, signed by that body's mill
tary committee, of which Mr.. Hearst is
chairman. Accompanying the letter
was a galley proof of the following
article apparently set in "The Ameri-
can" Office

tween William Randolph Hearst,
chairman of the military committee
Of the Mayors Committee of We'll
come to Homo Coming Troops, and
the Brooks Uniform Company, will
give the officers and enlisted men of
the Army and Navy of the United
States service or wound chevrons,
without cost to tho men.
Beginning tomorrow (MOnday)
morning, officers and men may pre-
sent the coupon which is printed in
the adjoining columns at the estab-
lshmcnt of the Brooks Uniform Com
pany, 143-15l West Fortieth Street,
at Broadway, and obtain proper
chevrons. according to their rank and
length of service. All that is neces-
sary is that the coupon shall be pre-
sented by member of the uniformed
forces of the army and navy, and
that the applicant sign his name and
the designation of his company and
the date in the space provided on the
margin of the coupon.
This arrangement embraces men
who have been in the domestic ser
vice, as we'll as the foreign service,
the chcvrons being in gold for for
eign service, and in silver for domes-
tic service.
Not only men now in the service
will be presented with these chew
rons free of charge, but honorably
discharged soldiers and sailors can
obtain the scarlet chcvrons, to be
worn on the left sleeve, in accord
ance with the ruling of Secretary of
War Baker just announced.

the very near future on bills extending the aee lmits
within which men shall be registered for military SER
vice. The present law includes All men between the ages
OF ~ and 81. The new regulations as proposed will In,
clude all between the ages Of l8<and 4s.
This. 1t is estimated, will add approximately q. 900.
900 to the %1o.ooo.ooo who arexalready registered. II is
estimated that in the class included in the l5-year extern
sion from 81 to 46 there will be around 10, 500, 900 men,
while in the younger class. from 10 to Fl, the number is
expected to be about 100000.
There is a marked difference. however. in the num-
Der OF 'availables expected from each class. Those Of the
older class are expected to add about 100000 to the nu.n-
Der Of men actually available for duty, while Of the
s,5oo.ooo in the younger class 1t is expected that some
100000 will be found available.
Three reasons may be enumerated as among those
tending to produce these results.
First, a much smaller proportion Of those between
the ages Of 1s and Fl have developed physical defects
which will unfit them for army work than Of those be-
tween the ages Of 81 and Ae.
Second, most Of the younger men are unmarried, while
q very large proportion Of the older are men with FAM
lilies.
Third. the youth are usually footlooseN and unattach-
ed. Seldom has he anyone dependent on his labor, and in
few cases has he become an indispensable part of a neces-
sary industry The older man, even If unmarried, is quite
likely to have collateral dependents and he is apt to have
found his place in industrial life. and to be engaged in an
occupation from which he cannot be withdrawn without
arrangement to the productive power of the nation.
The immediate addition Of some three million men to
the force available for military duty, and subject to call
at any time, is suitable food for thought for those Ger
mans who thought that the. United States was only bluff
fling when she went to war. already our first class Of Sc
Llected craftsmen is approaching exhaustion, and we will
presently have two million fighting men in France. And
when the new classifications are made other men in vast
numbers will be forthcoming, and more, still more, until
there are enough. Without exceeding our present rate Of
recruiting, training and transportation, by this time next
year we will have enough men in the field of operation to
place two men to every yard of line between Switzerland
and the North Sea, if that disposition were desired.

REVERSING RUSSIA

Among the numerous reports /emanating from Mos
COW is one to the effect that the Bolshevik government
Is likely to declare war on Japan. The thing is not at all
Improbable. The Bolshevik outfit is the catspaw Of Ger
many. and a Russian declaration of war on Japan would
the central powers, and the definite alignment Of Russia
against the Entente Alfies. l..
It seems. however. that If this has been Germany's
object she has defeated her own purpose in advance by
pushing the disintegration Of Russia to the point which
has been reached. Germany has played a shrewd game,
and a successful one, in bringing about the withdrawal
Of Russia from active participation in the war
on the side of the Allies. But it would seem that in re-
ducing her to a state of Incompetence as an enemy, Ger
many has also rendered her neighbor unavailable as a
friend. It looks like the old story of Humpty-Dumpty
over again, so far as the ability of Germany to utilize
anything in the shape Of military power in Russia.
Undoubtedly If this course is decided on German
army. But the Russian peasantry have been given so
much In the shape of pacihst counsel to induce them to
withdraw from the war that it will be difficult to per-
suade them that the war, which they have been told is
such an evil thing, is a good thing so long as they are
fighting on the German side. And those who have not
been entirely hypnotized by German propaganda have
had about their fill of both Gernanism and Bolshevik-
front as would be expressed by war against Japan would
arouse the Conservative part Of the population to the
united effort that has been lacking ~heretofore, and that
it might be the means Of setting an effective counter
revolution under way.

INTERN ALL ENEMY ALIENS
If the incentive is,removed, the,

II the INCENTIVE 1ssFemoved, there will be little -oc-
casion for lynchings. Why not remove it as far as posi-
bic by putting enemy aliens-especially Germans-behind
wire fences? Many of them doubtless want to keep the
peace. But there are spirits among them so lost to any
sense of gratitude to the government for its over lenient
policy and SO inaamed with the German passion for
frightfulness that no community can count itself safe
while enemy subjects enjoy a freedom Of restraint which
may be put to hostile and criminal uses. We have been
too scary about employing the power Of internment. 1t
would be better to go to the other extreme For under
the usases Of war we owe, the protection of tnternment
to possible victims of popular indignation and excite
.1nent. We therefore defend ourselves and defend those
senes y subjects whose intentions are innocent when we
put them. along with the evil-minded among them,
where they can neither be harmed themselves nor do us
any injury-New York Tribune

cultural operations, and the flow will
continue until late September when
he marketing of the crop begins.
Currency shipments during the next
go days are likely to be heavy, due to
the larger amounts Of money requir-
ed this year to handle the crop. In
terest rates maintain approximately
the same level as before and are very
firm.
Business conditions show no
change Of consequence. Trade in
both wholesale and retail lines is
good and the people appear to have
plenty of money to spend for the
things they want. It is noticeably
true that the war has not appreciably
curtailed the. volume Of business Of
concerns engaged in the merchandise
ing of the less necessary articles and
luxuriesA Jewelry concerns are do
conditions within the trade, the auto
mobile houses are selling cars much
as usual.
The curtailment of purchases by a
part of the population have SO far
been Offset by the increased purchas-
ing power of another element which
has benefited by unusually favorable
wage rates and by the very heavy de-
mand for every kind and variety of
skilled competent labor.
In the meantime, there is a distinct
movement toward the restriction of
credit for n~on-essentiafs. There is
no universal test that will disclose
what is essential and what is nom
essential, but it is clear. as the prob
lem of government financing is care
fully studied, that the ability Of the
United States to meet future demands
that will result from the continuation
of the war will be largely proportion
ate to its ability to save and that the
saving habit must be very much more
widely adopted by the people. Banks

Grafton to their part in preparing for
that borrowing with the expectation
Of renewing will be curtailed. The
government is taking the position
that the public can very we'll get
along without new paxks, new public
buildings. new highways, new irriga-
ton ditch projects. the reclamation Of
additional arabic land and similar
enterprises until the close of the war,
and it is only through the application
of these same principles to the more
common and ordinary transactions of
the people. that the banks are begin
ming to realize that credit restrictions

the financial operations Of the in

that only that form of borrowing is

GUARDING TRANSPORTS

A few Allied transports have been sunk by German
submarines It is worthy Of note, however, that these
are almost invariably returning after having discharged
their human freight. Many more than a million soldiers
have been carried across from the United States to France
within a little over a year. and in all the hundreds of
while carrying soldiers bound for the war zone. That
fact speaks volumes for the care with which the lanes
of travel are guarded, for the numerous attacks made
on merchant shipping, returning transports and hospital
ships shows that the submarines are constantly on the
watch and neglect no opportunity to strike at Allied
shipping wherever it is to be found.
There is nothing strange about the fact that it is
only the comparatively empty transports that are sunk,
for the effort of the naval commanders in charge of the
convoy and patrol work is first and foremost to guard
the men who are crossing the sea. If shipping can be
guarded in addition to this, we'll and good. But the
safety of the transported soldiers is the first considera-
ton. s..
The details Of the methods employed tn protecting
our transports have, naturally, not been made public
But it is known that the troop ships on their outward
voyage are accompanied by conveys of swift and power
full craft right up to the port of debarkation, and 80
thorough have been the precautions taken that in but one
instance have the Germans been able to slip through the
guard line and inaict damage. The ocean convoy swings
about and starts on the return trip to take charge of
another consignment.

REPORT SHOWS CROPS
In NINTH FEDERAL DISTRICT
IN FIRST CLASS CONDITION

In Wisconsin, Minnesota and South
Dakota the harvesting of a very
large crop is in progress. Opportune
rains in July have materially i'm
proved the condition Of all small
grains and helped fax especially.
While more or less hot weather was
not especially beneficial to the grain
crops.> no great amount Of damage
occurred. and it was a valuable help
progress. and is at this da1e consid-
erably further advanced toward
maturity than in an average year.
Late max in central Minnesota and in
other parts Of the eastern half of this
district promises to be a very good
crop.
The harvesting Of wheat is in prog
ress in South Dakota and southern
Minnesota, and a little threshing has
been done. Within ten days 1t Is ex-
pected that threshing will be quite
general.
Black rust has appeared in South
Dakota and some parts Of southern
Minnesota, but has come too late to
do. much harm.
The western half Of North Dakota
benefited by rains during July which
improved the condition which exist
ed during the first part Of the month.
Opportune moisture helped the early
grain to fill and was very valuable
in assisting the development Of the
late sown grain. especially wheat and
fax. Flax gives evidence Of consid-
cradle improvement. On account of
al statement as to the crop in west
ern North Dakota is of much value.
In evidence Of the improvement, 1t
may be stated that some fields which
earlier in the month gave promise
of not more than 5 bushels. are now
rated at from six to seven, and that
where grain was no too severely hurt
by dry weather at an earlier date. it
has revived and made very sub
stantial progress which will result in
considerable improvement and in a
yield over that expected during the
first half Of July.
It will probably prove true that
western North Dakota will harvest a
considerable amount Of grain which.
when the present high prices Z con-
sidered, will represent a money re-
turn that would ordinarily be consid-
cred very fair.
In Montana as we'll as in western
North Dakota rains have greatly inn
proved the feed situation and helped
out the pastures. Moisture came too
late 10 save the crop IN northern
Montana or to make much improve
ment in the outlook. The central
counties Of the state and the valley
and irrigated districts are in good
shape and will harvest good crops.
In the eastern end Of the Yellowstone
Valley and the eastern and northern
sides Of the Judith Basin, and the
northern portion Of the state between
Sheridan county and the Rocky
Mountains, is included the area
which has suffered most and in
which most of the damage has oc-
Cured. In the section thus outlined
crops will be poor and in some cases,
very poor.
July brought no change in the ac-
tive demand on country banks, and
the consequent heavy call upon city
correspondents. Large amounts Of
