was preparing today to invade the
great harvest fields of Kansas to bat
tie for a bumper wheat crop-and
democracy.
With the state short 10000 harvest
hands, recruiting organizations in
every city in the state today went
into shops, stores and Offices and took
the capitalist. lawyer. doctor and the
office boy-many of whom don't know
the first thing about farm-to help
harvest the greatest wheat crop Kan
sas has ever produced-six million
acres.
The response was tremendous
There was a scurrying for mems fur
nishings stores for overalls and broad
brimmed straw hats, while at recruit
ing headquarters scores of men were
arranging assignments for-the wheat

The harvest will open officially
June TO-, First cuttings will be in the
southwestern part of the state. This
will last until June IL. Harvesting
will begin in the central portion June

More than 500 recruits were signed
up today in Kansas City. Indications

1t seems that since John D. Ryan
took charge of airplane production we
are actually turning out planes. An
Investigator for the New York Times
has been finding out what our airplane
manufacturers are doing. One large
company. for instance. was scheduled
to deliver $50 finished machines in
May, 324 in June and 4S0 in July.
These figures are commented on by
the New York Times expert as fol-
lows: That is fine production on pa
per, but like the actual monthly fig
ures better. On the latter basis, we
find that four plants combined are
turning out 1850 complete airplanes a
month. or 1870 planes a year. That
Is the monthly and yearly output, ac-
cording to present figures. of only four
OF twelve concerns known to be turning
out planes for the government. Sup
pose We say that the average output
Of each of the twelve plants is. on a
weekly production Of fifty planes, PIT
planes month. That gives us a total
output of 1904 planes month. or a.
24S planes a year, which is as near
the exact present production of air
craft in this country as figures are
obtainable to prove"

The beginning of the second week OF
the new German drive finds the
enemy advance slowing up, with indf-
cations that it soon may be definitely
checked in the Marine region. Wheth-
er when that time comes the Huns
will dig in and begin preparations for
another thrust on some other part of
the western front cannot be foretold.
They are resourceful but they have
reached a point where it seems neces-
sary that they should keep going.
They now have driven wedges into the
allied lines at three different points.
Until they can unite these wedges
their situation must remain more or
less dangerous. AS long as the initia-
tive remains with the enemy reverses
to our arms must be expected. AL
most continuously. since the begin
ming Of the war, he has chosen his
own time and place for fighting. He
may be expected to continue to do this
until such time as the allies become
able to muster a force superior in
numbers and equipment. How far
ahead this time is depends on Amer
lea.

One of the most significant and far
reaching results of the war upon this
nation has been that of enormous
bond-buying. 1t was estimated that
prior to 1914 there were not more than
100000 bondholders in this country
AT this time there are probably TO-
100000, and before peace is declared
there will be millions more. Hundreds
of thousands of persons had never
learned the value of bond-buying as
an aid to frugality, and are acquiring
the habit. AS they finish making pay
ments on their government securities
they will seek others. No better be-
ginning is offered than that afforded
by the war saving stamps which will
be offered to the amount of $4,000
