No story yet told the condition in
Vienna even remotely can approx
mate the actual facts as described by
this eyewitness, whose account was
given, perhaps unconsciously, a dra-
matte climax by the declaration that
despite the indescribable sufferings
and hardships Vienna still has horse
racing, attended by greater crowds
than in peace times. These crowds
walk eight miles TO the race track and
bet thousands of crowns, instead of
hundreds as formerly, in their fever

by the war

diplomatic agent, because it was a
physical impossibility to continue
further. Not only was Austria with
out food, but without the commonest
necessaries. 1t faced winter in almost
literal nakedness, so scarce had cloth
Ing become. Before he left Vienna the
correspondents informant disposed of
nearly every article Of clothing he pos

Wraps Enhance Decay.

The reason that wrapped melons
rot and mold more after unloading
from refrigerator cars than melons
not wrapped is explained by the in
1astigators as follows:
When, on summer days, cold melons
are taken from refrigerator cars mois-
ture from the atmosphere condenses
on the surface of the melons. From
melons not wrapped this moisture
soon evaporates, but from wrapped
melons the evaporation is hindered by
the paper which, through its powers
Of absorption and obstruction of air
circulation about the melons, tends
to retain the condensed moisture. This
retained moisture acts as a medium
favorable for the growth Of organ
isms which cause rotting and mold
ing.

Washington, April 10.-Cantaloupes
not wrapped, loaded into refrigerator
cars within three hours after picking,
are more easily refrigerated in tran
sit and, after unloading from cars,
are much less subject to molding and
rotting, than cantaloupes which are
wrapped when packed. These conclu-
sions are based on Investigations car
Iried on by the United States Depart
nent Of Agriculture during the ship
ping season of 1917 in the Imperial
Valley, California.
How Melons Were Handled.
On as many different days during
the season, thirteen lots of melons
were shipped from Brawley, Cal, to
New York, in commercial carloads.
The first lot was shipped on June
% and the last lot on July IS. In
each lot, half of the crates contained
melons in paper wraps and half con-
tanned melons not wrapped. All the
melons were picked by commercial
pickers. The time between picking
and packing varied from half an hour
to four hours, averaging about two.
All the crates in each lot were packed
by the same commercial packer. The
time between packing and car loading
averaged about one hour. All the
crates in each lot were slowed tOgeth-
er in the same car so that each crate
would receive, as~nearly as possible,
the average cooling Of the load, The
average length of time in transit was
eleven days.
A few hours after car unloading
every melon in each crate was in
spected for firmness, color and de-
cay. Immediately after the inspec-
ton each crate was repacked as near
ly as possible the same as on arrival.
Two days later, after being held un-
der average city conditions, every
melon was inspected for firmness, COL
or and decay.
Condition Of CantaIoupes at Unloading
in New York.
Just after unloading from cars, the
melons not wrapped were in a trifle
better condition than the wrapped
melons in regard to firmness, color
decay seriously affecting their food
value, and mold seriously affecting
their appearance.
Condition of CantaIOupes Two Days
After Unloading.
Two days after unloading there was
no great difference between the mel
ons not wapped an Gthe melons
wrapped in regard to firmness and
color. But there were nearly five
times as many badly decayed melons
and nearly sixteen times as many bad
ly nodded melons in the wrapped lots
as in the lots not wrapped.

AN EARNEST APPEAL FOR RE-
CRUITS.

Recruiting for the army has fallen
off considerable for the past month,
which is due to the fact that summer
months are unusually dull, and also a
great number of cur young men are
already in some branch of the service.
However, in the face of the present
crisis we cannot afford to satisfy our
selves with these excuses and sit idly
by with our hands folded. Now is the
time when every loyal American has
to put forth every possible effort.
American boys are now in France ac-
tually fighting for you and for me.
The casualty list is growing each day
and these places must be filled. We
now have over a million men in
France, but before we win this gigan-
tic struggle we must send a vastly
greater number than that-in fact,
every drop of red, American blood
will be spilled on the battlefield be-
fore we permit our homes to be devas-
tated and our women ravished by the
barbarous Huns.
The army is pleadingly and earnest
ly calling for men between the ages
of eighteen to twenty-one and thirty
two to forty-one for all branches of
the service. Registered men are con-
sidered as being already in the serv-
ice, therefore are not eligible for en-
listment. There must be few men
in this city who are eligible for en-
listment and it is respectfully urged
that patriotic citizens call on these
young men personally and endeavor to
get them to join some branch of the
army. Some of the branches now open
for enlistment are: Infantry, cavalry,
medical department, quartermaster
corps, and engineers.
Harvey M. Virgins, the recruiting
officer, is now in Tarpon Springs and
will gladly give any information about
enlisting, and will take pleasure in
giving any eligible man, who wishes
to enlist, the examination. 1t is his
desire to help every man get into the
branch that would be most suitable to
him in particular
Men of all trades are needed as well
as fighting men. Enlist today and do
your bit to save the world from ty-
ranny.

THEY'RE ALL RIGHT OVER
THERE.

The following poem was sent The
Leader by Willie Linton, colored
boy from Tarpon Springs, who is now
in camp at Newark, N. j.:
He's back on leave of absence,
And his face seems drawn and gray.
, It's hard to realize it's been
A year since he went away.
Grave he is in his manner,
But his voice has the old-time cheer;
They're all right over there, all
right
Are you ali right over here?
They're all right over there, all right
There's nothing at all that's wrong.
"Sam, Joe and Bill, I saw them all,
And I left them well and strong.
They told me to tell you all hello,
And to tell you have no fear
But that they're all right over there,
all right,
If you're all right over here.
Yes, there's lots of mud in the
trenches,
But they're making the best of it;
The coolies are not much overdrawn
Or none of the rest of it.
ITS big new kind of business,
"A business that's sad and queer,
But they're all right over there, all
right
Are you all right over here?
They're all right over there, all right;
Yes, it's true about those rains,
It's true about the hardships, too,
And that never a man complains;
It's true that there's quite task at
hand,
And that death is ever near
But they're all right over there, all
right
Are you all right over here?
"f you're all right over here" he said,
And leaving no job undone,
They'll be all right over there, all
right,
Till they've ended the war and won.
If you've done your share the best
you can
And your conscience is sound and
clear,
They'll be all right over there, all
right, -
And you all right over here"

EDoUARD R0UPEN, VICTIM OF
GERMAN KULTUR.

This picture is the first that has
come from Belgium to show the re-
suits of systematic starvation of a
conquered people. The facts that go
with it are few and simple, but they
are spiritual Indictment of the Ger
man nation, says the committee on
public information.
Edouard Roupen died at the age of
10, starved to death as punishment
for his loyalty to country. He had
been prisoner for three and a half
winter months in Germany. During
that time his weight had fallen Sc
pounds. He was sent back to the hos
pital at Mons and died there three
days after his picture was taken.
When Germany deported thousands
of Belgians in 1916 to carry on the in
dustrial war work of the Teutons a
wave of indignation swept the United
States. Fa hrs and brothers were
torn from their families with cynical
Indifference, young girls were dragged
from their homes for immoral pur-
poses without pretence of decency.
BY this wholesale crime the military
caste of Germany once more proved
itself outside the pale of humanity.
The deported Belgians were passive
resistants. They refused to work.
They would not sign the pledge to la
Dor for Germany.
AS they passed through Belgium
the prisoners flung from the car win
dows of their trains the pledge cards
that had been given them, "On ne
signera pas" was written across the
blanks.
But the military overlords are past
masters at punishment, especially il
ways that leave no visible marks
They made the poor Belgians stanc
for half a day at time in ice colo
water. They stripped their clothes
from them and left them exposed tt

Steps have been taken to check the
flood of population pouring into the
cities from the farms at the time when
the wars greatest need is to increase
the acreage producing farm crops, an
association having been formed, with
governors of many states on the adj
kVjsory board, to present farm oppor-
tunities in novel and sweeping way.
The announcement that the Allied
America association, with headquar-
ters in Chicago, has completed the en-
listing of over a thousand daily pa
lpers and over a thousand picture
theatres in the task of arousing COM
munities to take up locally and vigor-
ously as liberty bond campaigns, eff
/ forts to increase food production, is
another victory won at the same time
that Pershing's armies and the French
drove the Germans backward in a
smashing defeat.
"The rush to the cities has become
an oninous flood when already the
urban population of the United States
has increased to IS per cent of the
total instead Of the 80 per cent in
1880, the a per cent in 1890, and, to
go back to early days. the 13 per cent
lof Colonial days." says President
Ward D. Will;ams. of the Allied AM
