Their previous attempt was
frustrated by the determined and

had an opportunity to strengthen

As usual the Germans began the

Hard fighting developed this morn

Alfalfa in New Zealand.

The raising of lucerne or alfalfa in
New Zealand is receiving much atten-
ton of late, and the different varie-
ties are being tested, with the result
that there was cut during 1917 three
crops Of Turkestan lucerne with a
total Of Is long tons per acre Of the
green lucerne, weighing shortly after
cutting 11la tons Of Peruvian per acre,
12A tons of Poitou, liz tons Of Rus
sian, u tons of Spanish, II 1-3 tons
Of Hungarian, IA tons of Patagonian,
and 141A tons of Marlborough lucerne.
It Is estimated that the Patagonian and
Marlborough lucerne, when converted
into hay, would give an approximate
Yield Of 31a tons each, which at S19.46
per ton gives total value Of $6S.1S

MEXICAN MATCH A CURIOSITY
Is Made of Short Piece Of cottor
String, With Head at
Each End.

The Mexican friction match, from
our point of view, is curiosity. For
one thing, II is not made of wood, but
is short piece of cotton string. Sec.
ondly, 1t has two heads.
There is an undeniable advantage
about q match with two heads. If one
falls to light there is another in re.
serve. But the Mexican matches, tc
do them justice, rarely go out. One
can strike them successfully in a fair
breeze.
This is because the cotton string Is
coated with wax. In Mexico there are
factories In which such matches are
turned out by ingenious machines, but
billions of them are made by hand in
laborious fashion. the strings being
tipped with phosphorus composition
by girls and boys whose wages are O
few cents day.
One match in Mexico is really two
matches. Thus, when the native starts
a fire or lights cigarette with fresh
one, he tucks the string back into his
pocket for use next time.

WHY WE MUST WIN THE WAR
II Conflict Ends With Conditions as at

nate, Writer Says.

"Mittel-Europa is In existence to-
day." says Frederick -Naumann, u
prominent member of the relchstag.
He Is right. Germany stands pos
sessed Of all she hoped to gain when
ehe forced the war. She has reduced
her allies to military and economic de-
pendence. She dominates Belgium,
northern France, Poland, Russia, Ser
bia, Montenegro and Reumanio. More
than 200,0O0,000 people are under the
dlctation Of Prussia.
IL the war ends with conditions as
they are at present Germany's brutal
policy Of force will dominate. the world.
Italy, France and Great Britain have
a combined population of 11S,000,0OO
They are much smaller in area than
the Mittel-Europa empire would be,
are detached from each other and con-
fined within narrow limits on the
south and west Of Europe. Neces-
sarily they would become second-class
powers.
The United States, practically alone,
would be left to face the aggression
of a power with about twice the pOpu-
lation, directed by autocratic rulers
toward further conquest.
The only way to make ourselves
safe Is to win the war.
