MORALE OF GERMAN ARMY
IS LOW, SAYS LONDON

London, July 25.-Sixty-four divis-
ions OF seven hundred and eighty
thousand men have been thrown in
to the fighting on the Aisnc- Marine
front by the Germans. The Boches
are hard pressed for reserves. having
only Prince Rupprechts extra troops
to draw upon. The third German
army is on the down slope, and all
units are below their normal strength.
The French have crossed the Cha
teauThierry railway at Flennier lie
Heleu. On the Western flank the Al
lied advance at Urigny has given
them a bigger hold upon the spur be-
tween Veal and Ardre rivers, menac-
ing Fismes. German battalions en-
tering the lines are far below normal,
both in officers and men. The Ger
mans have suffered terrible losses.
Many Huns now of inferior quality
are surrendering in droves.
The entire Fiftieth division was
wiped out by the British. Previously
the l25 Division had been cut to rib
bons While the British were taking
MarfauX, the French came up behind
the enemy and struck with appalling

FARMERS MUST
CONSERVE, SAYS
SEC. HOUSTON
Predicts Farmers will Over.
come Labor Shortage
Again This Season.

Washington. Feb. 16.-Prediction
that the country's farmers will over
come this year as they did last the
difficulties In respect to-; labor and
otherwise, was made today by 'SecIe-
.tary Houston Of the dapartnsnt .of
agriculture, 6tlt sffa re sc1IIteh that there
should be, no let up this. year in ef-
yea" and to conserve food.
1T is clear that it will be eco
nomlcally wise and advantageous for
the farmers Of the nation to put forth
their best efforts during the coming
season to equal. and if possible. to ex-
ceedr their record of last year." said
the secretary in statement 'In
spite of the large production in many
directions during 1917 the situat ton
is not satisfactory. The supply OF
wheat in this nation and in the world
tinues or not. the demand in this
country because of the increasing
population of the needs Of Europe
will be great They will continue to
be great for a considerable period
even after peace returns. There
will be an especially strong demand
made on this country for meats and
livestock.
elm some respects the farm labor
situation may not De quite SO dill
cult as last year although it will con-
tinue to be especially acute in certain
sections. The draft regulations pro-
vide for the deferred classification of
"ki'led farm labor. The secretary of
war has asked congress for power
to furiough soldiers of the national
army for agricultural service if nee
essary.
'1t seems highly likely that the
Corners. by exercising their talent
for cooperation and organization
with sucn assistance as can be fur
nished by governmental and other
agencies, will again be able to over
come the difficulties. The depart
ments Of agriculture and labor are
continuing to develop their organiza-
tions to assist farmers in securing the
labor. needed in their operations
