SIMS ON THE SUBMARINES

most arresting: Now is the time

that tonnage (allied) is rapidly in
creasing and the enemy submarines
are decreasing in number and eff

timism against which we must be on
our guard.

yASHINGTON D. c., October 2S.-The man
M who lives in town must admit that
w if it had not been for the really heroic
Efforts of the farmers to increase production there
wouldn't have been enough food TO go round this
winter. And the farmer must admit that IL the
city Teller hadn't turned out and helped him get
the crops in the result would have been the same.
For it is fact that hundreds of thousands of pro-
fessional men, society women, school boys, me-
chanics and others of the city ilk toiled in the
fields this summer and fall, and but for them the
farmers would have lost millions of dollars and
the nation millions of pounds of food.
DR.. E. V. Wilcox, who managed this mobiliza-
ton of volunteer farm labor for the department
of agriculture tells some interesting stories of how
the 1918 crop was gathered. According to MIN,
many of those who worked in the fields did so at
a heavy sacrifice of convenience and comfort.
Some and some women went through the set
ting up exercises every day for a month in an eff
fort to harden their muscles they could stand
the strain of labor in the hay field And many
man and woman soft from years of sedentary liv
ing, stuck to the job doggedly, while the sun burn
ed the skin off their faces and the hard handles Of
rakes and hoes rubbed blisters their palms.
An important phase of the matter is that this
demonstrated to the farmer that the city chap,
and the city woman, could do a days work
in pinch. Down in Kentucky all of the pro-
fessoTs of the State Agricultural college turned
and worked in the harvest fields, and the presi
dent reports that thing they certainly har-
vested was the confidence of the farmers. The Ia
Dor shortage in Kentucky gave big boost to Co
operation between the scientist and the man on
the farm.
In some sections city folk saved crops that
would otherwise lave been total loss. Out at
Mountain Park, New Mexico, for example, they are
just picking the last of very fine apple crop.
And the pickers are one hundred women nearly all
of them we'll off, many belonging to that vague
class known society women" They pick
ing the apples because there absolutely no
else to do it. People are scarce in New Mexi-
co. anyhow, and the men of that section have gone
to war in great numbers The apples would have

HOW THE CROP WAS GATHERED-By Frederic J. Haskn

These farmers cut their wheat crops and made
Arrangements for having it shocked. which re
quires a great many hands. They thought fu='
usual influx of floating labor would happen. But
it didn't. The whez-E was out and in a fair way
to rot but the farmers refused to appeal to the
town people. Accordingly a local chamber of COM
merce organized ''shOck troop of city men and
women. These went to the farms and shocked the
wheat, without so much as asking the farmers
the job and found it good. Then they called up
their benefactors and offered thanks and remun-
Grafton. The remuneration accepted for the
Red Cross, but the farmers were told that thanks
were not in order. The corps had not been har-
vested for the benefit of the farmers, but because
the nation needed the wheat.
This was not the usual attitude of the farmers
though. In general they received the city
a friend and were glad of his help. And the farm
hasn't much to be glad about is generally
supposed He is getting big prices for his stuff
but he is also paying big prices for his TOOLS Seed
fertilizer and everything else he buys. A large
part of the profit which occurs between the farm
and the table still falls to various middlemen. If
the farmer dull and provincial peo-
pie seem to think he might well believe that towns
inhabited largely by greedy middlemen and
long-winded reformers, who want to tell him how
to run his business and how to amuse himself.
These are the two types that he most often
counters and hears from. Meantime he works
hard for small money He is advised to get and
cultivate more land, and land is held high that
if he buys it and cultivates it, he cannot make as
much interest on the investment as he could by
putting the money into first mortgage. And all
the time he is that if it for him, the
country would starve The war and the scarcity
of food have brought this fact home to him with
renewed force. He reflects that if he wanted to,
he might raise just enough to feed himself; then
maybe the country would wake up to his import
ance and see his viewpoint.
Kansas outdid all of the other states in helping
out its farmers. were eight million acres of
wheat in Kansas to be harvested. The movement
for recruiting labor to harvest this crop start
ed at Kansas City. Mo-, but essentially Kan
sas project none the less. The Kansas City cham
Der of commerce got up a state organization, and
assigned to each town a quota of men which it
must raise for the purpose of harvesting the wheat
crop. People told that the wheat crop
more important than anything else in Kansas, and
therefore any justified in leaving his bust
ness for a few days a few weeks to help harvest
it. An army of ninety thousand workers rails
ed in this way. 1t included all types.

The PruSSian Way.

We have the word of Prince Lichnowsky,
formerly German ambassador in England, that the
'Potsdam mitarists in casting about for solution
of the Serbian problem deliberately agreed upon
wholesale massacre.
Their aids and opportunities considered, it is
rather remarkable that these experts in murder
closer to complete realization of their
CARS whose General JekOv declared Thanks to
Intervention, Serbia shall be annihilated.'
And for long time they had the country under
their heels. Yet, out of a population of about
four million at the beginning of the invasion
Serbia now has some three million survivors-her
remnant of wonderful warriors, marching vic
toriously homeward after bitter exile; and her
Huns and Bulgars together succeeded in stamping
out million of the brave Kingdoms people and
in laying waste it's resources with whirlwinds of
hate.
That any survived is not due to a softening of
the Prussian heart From the far beginning of her
plot up to this hour of desperate scheming
for a negotiated peace Germany's purpose and
spirit have been utterly ruthless. In 1914 one of
her spokesman wrote Must Kultur it's
domes over mountains of corpses, ocean, of tears
and the death rattle of the conquered? Yes, it
must The might of the conqueror is the highest
law before which the conquered must bow" There
nothing extraordinary, from the German
standpoint, in the Potsdam counselors deciding
upon massacre a solution for the Serbian
problem;" it was the approved Prussian way,
peatedly adopted in Belgium well as in the
Balkans.
The mission of America and of the Allies will
dered secure until this coldly organized system Of
brigandage and murder known the German
monarchy is brought chained to the bar of unspar-
ing justice.

dren from the bosoms of their parents to force
them into Mohammedanism.
1t was in the Leart of the young Turks to
terminate the Greeks, and this fell purpose
aided by the Germans and their systematic, scien-
tifc barbarism.
There is as present in the United States a COM
mittee of gentlemen, headed by Mr.. N G. Kyriaki-
des, a Greek steamship agent and ship owner,
who wish to inform American public sentiment OF
the dreadful conditions. Mr.. Kyriakides says:
"In spite of all the endless sufferings of the
Greeks, the enslaved nation has never despa1red,
never been faint-hearted Out of the 100000 who
took refuge in Greece, about $4,000 are embodied
in the Greek army at the Balkan front and are
now heroicaIly fighting side by side with the gal
liant armies of the allies. Forty thousand enslaVed
Greeks are occupied in works in Macedonia con-
nected with the defense of the allied armies About
another $4,000 enslaved Greeks in France
devoting themselves to works connected with this
struggle of liberation, and thousands of enslaved
Greeks are already fighting under the Stars and
Stripes against common enemy for common
cause. for the same ideals and for the prevalence
of democratic principles"
1t is devoutly to be wished that this war will
not be concluded without rescuing from the brut-
ish hands OF Turkey those populations she has SO
long prosecuted, and among them Greece, That
country which is associated in all on minds with
the highest ideals of civilization.

GREECE-By DR.. Frank Crane

Among the victims of the combined egomania
of Germany and the vindictve ferocty of Turkey is
Greece.
For many years the Greeks have been the civ
ilizing leaven in Asia Minor and other countries
where they have been scattered. They have nat
urally been hated and prosecuted by the Turks,
for they have been thrifty, intelligent, and prog
ressive, the kind of people who constitute a dis
turbing element in any autocracy.
The hatred of the Turks, however, has been
spasmodc manifesting itself in an occasional mas
sacre or other outburst of petty strife.
But when the Germans formed their unhoy
alliance with the Turks, that vllany which before
was sporadic became calculated, systematic, and
characterized by all the deadly efficiency Of dew
iItry of which the German mind is capable. i
Before the Balkan wars there were about $780,
600 Greeks living in Thrace and $500 600 in Asia
Minor A little while after the beginning of this
war there was a general campaign against the
Greek population, who dwelt in dense numbers
along the coast of the Sea of Marmora, the He'll
espont and the BLACK Sea. Thousands of these
unoffending citizens have been deported into the
interior OF Bulgaria and Asia, with all the horror
that Turkish deportation implies Women and
children suffered martyrdom great ever in
the darkest periods of history. Driven from their
homes like cattle, these helpless creatures are
hopelessly dying and being exterminated by cold.

STORY TELLING-By H. Arlington Bruce

reality and definiteness to the people or animals
fairies of your Stories if you allow the action to
drag it is not surprising that your daughter would
rather do something else than listen to stories.
Her reaction to stories of this sort is just
natural your reaction to tedious novels written
by bungler overload of words.
Or perhaps you make the serious mistake of
letting your stories acquire too preachy' flavor.
Any story worth telling to child should be
a story with moral. But the moral should never
be the story.
Consider the excellent animal stories by Thorn
ton w. Burgess, stories which have delighted hun
dreds of thousands of children, and will delight
hundreds of thousands more.
There is lesson in every one of these tales
of the little folk of forest, field and stream. And
the lesson gets to the mind of the child none the
less surely for being taught indirectly.
If Mr.. Burgess not content with merely
suggesting his moral if he made his stories OBJ
viously didactic, they would not merely become
less interesting They would defeat their admirable
purpose.
In the light of the foregoing, survey the stories
which you make up yourself, which you select
being especially desirable to tell your child. You
may find that you have been overlooking some
fundamentals in effective storytelling for children.

xIOU appreciate the Importance of story-tell-
ing to little children. You aware that
through stories mental development may be
promoted and profound moral lessons taught. But
you complain that you find it hard to get your
little daughter to listen to the stories you try to
tell her.
In that l would say to you, that either
she is an unusual child, or which is likely,
you not going about the business of story
telling the right way
Perhaps you choose the wrong times to tell
stories to your daughter. Possibly you insist on
telling her stories at moments when, in the full
flush of physical vigor, her mood is one of active
doing rather than passive listening.
Or it may be that you wait to tell her stories
until she is too tired from her play to keep her
attention fixed your Stories matter how in
teresting they may be.
Are you, for the matter of that, quite sure
that the stories you tell appeal to the mind of
child?
When you read stories to yourself, are you al
ways most interested, you not, in stories with
clearly defined characters and rapidly moving
ton? Do the stories you tell your little girl pos
sess these particular qualities?
If you clutter them with long descriptions, if
you overload them with details, if you fail to give
