BURN CROPS

The general public is too little aware
OF the bitter battles the crop grower
has had to fight to bring his wheat to
harvest.
Burned barns, standing crops, har-
vesters and threshing machines were
only a part of the widespread ruin
planned by these fellows of Boyd,
Won Papen and Won Bernstorf, and in
too many instances their plots we're

due only to untiring vigilance which
can never be relaxed while the war
lasts.

the plan for raising an army OF flve
million Americans to crush Germany
next year.
He will be further handicapped by

NEW EFFORTS
CALLED FOR

No one doubts that he will rise to
the opportunity for service placed be-
fore him. any more than any one
doubts that he will play his other parts
in the perfectly co-ordinated fighting
machine revealed when America turned
as q nation to win the war.
Not the least OF these parts was his
participation in the financing of the
battle. though previous history had
written down much effort to finance
the farmer.
Rural districts were uniformly more
prompt than metropolitan areas in
their response to the Third Liberty
Loan. Honor flags first few from
country fagstaffs, and those with the
greatest number OF honor stripes like
WISE
The Third Liberty Loan, the great.
est financial achievement in the his.
tory of the United States, and there
fore in the world, is to be perhaps
doubly eclipsed by the Fourth Liberty
Loan.
The part of the farmer probably will
be as proud.

precipitate war, Germany rushed two
army corps to the frontier, and ia
places across the frontier near this
mineral region in order to grab it the
moment the signal was given.
The iron and steel industry of Ger
many, essential to its commercial
prosperity, and without which 1t can
not long carry on war, depend upon
ore supplies from the territory taken
from France in 1870 and in 1914, TO-
gether with the coal supplies from
one of the first regions into winch
German troops were sent.
Germany made this war in order to
rob France of coal and iron, rob BEL
gium of it's unrivaled seaport, and
rob Russia of large section OF us
farming lands. Germany felt itself IN
need of many things which its neigh
bors possessed, and it made war on
them in exactly the spirit OF the high
wayman.
Rriev is 20 or 30 miles north of the
new front line established by General
Pershing. It is 10 or Is miles north
west of Metz. This last is heavily
fortified, but the Allies know several
ways of killing a cat besides choking
it to death with cream. Metz may
not be attacked at all. If the Ameri-
can army shall occupy the country all
around it Metz will be of no value to
Germany, and may have to surrender
with it's garrison. When the Germans
wanted Verdun they knew no way of
getting it except by frontal attack.
But when the Americans wanted the
St. Mihiel salient they simply pinch
ell IN the two sides.
The Briey iron mines are WORTH
more, both to Germany and to the
Allies, than Metz Within a few days
the Germans may lose the ore district
without which they cannot maintain
war or support great iron and steel
industry in peace.

. A RUDE AM AkENING

The wind changed from the south to
the north yesterday afternoon, when
cooler conditions set in. The heavens
were overcast and rain seemed to be
imminent. About eight o'clock last
night a few drops fell, and between
ore and two o'clock this morning rain
was falling copiously. Lightning and
thunder accompanied the downpour.
About four o'clock, when it seemed a
settled rain had set in, there was an
exceedingly brilliant flash of light
ming and simultaneously a peal of
thunder much louder than any heard
this year which awakened nearly
everybody in Alexandria. In some
cases residents supposed the electric
fluid had STRUCK their houses and they
started to investigate. So far as
known, however, the lightning did no
damage.
The appalling crash brought to the
minds of some the explosion at
Fort Lyon, on Ballengers Hill, near
Alexandria. during the civil war On
June 8, 1868. the magazine at that
stronghold exploded, the conclusion
srom which shook every house and
every person in Alexandria, and caused
much excitement. About twenty per-
sons were killed by this accident.

COAL. IRON AND WAR.

II the British are not in Lens. they
are at least in occupation OF much OF
the coal field Of which Lens is the
centre, and their operations must III
tarfere a good deal with the working
of the coal mines behind the German
lines. 1t is suggested that Germany
needs this coal for its own industries.
and for trading with neutralS. Swift
zerland and Holland are in great
measure dependent for coal upon Ger
manv. and in order to get it they sell
food to Germany and buy German
bonds. The loss of the coal field about
Lens seriously impairs Germanys
ability to go on with the war.
In 1913 out of 2S,OOO,oo0 tons of
iron ere extracted within German
boundaries 100000 came from the
mines of annexed Lorraine. in the
same year, 1919. Germany imported
Ia 100000 tons of ore. This IS a.

AUSTRIAN PEACE PLAN

: Austria's peace offensive is closed
incident so far as the American Gov
ernment is concerned.
! !. Secretary Lansing sent to the
Swedish Minister yesterday the note
authorized last night by President
Wilson fatty rejecting in two snort
sentences the proposal of the Austro-
Hungarian Government for secret and
ponbinding peace discussions. 1t was
started on the cables at once fof
transmission to Vienna by the For
..eign Office at Stockholm.
Unequivocal reflections of the Aus
rtrian offer from all the Allies will be
in accordance with the general policy
which has governed the Entente Pow
sers and America in meeting the Ger
man peace ofensives. Prompt action
is regarded as the surest means of
defeating the underlying purpose OF
!, the Central Powers to shake the Al
J. lies and develop fatal weaknesses by
the encouragement Of the expression
of the individual aims and views OF
the separate states.
~ Regarding this phase of the peace
!, campaign as practically closed, the
Administration is now closely watch
ing for the next move on the part OF
the enemy, for it is not believed that
thew will abandon their efforts. 1t has
been suggested that, denied unlimited
: fields to secret discussion Of war is
sues, Austria may attempt coup by
asserting to a restriction of the dis
cussion to the principles laid down
by President Wilson as the only pos
sible basis of peace.
It was said authoritatively that such
proposition undoubtedly would be
accepted. But this statement was ac-
companied by significant reminder
of conditions which must be met pre-
liminary to any such discussion. These
are that the Central Powers must
withdraw completely from all occupied
territory in France and Belgium, It
ally, Russia and Serbia. The Germans
must drop the subterfuge OF the
Brest-Litovsk treaty made by Ger
many with Russian agents, hired to
cetray their country. They must
loosen their hold upon the wheat fields
: of Ukrainia and the oil wells OF Ser
bia and Russia, and all Of this must
be done before America would consent
to talk peace, even upon the basis OIL
the Presidents stipulation.
