WHY GERMANY
WILL LOSE
Henry Farrand Griffin in Leslie's.

Two great advantages have beer
on the side of German strategy-in-
terror lines and complete unificatior
point Germany absolutely dominates
her so-called allies. The Austrian,
Bulgarian and Turkish armies are di-
rected from Berlin with authority al
most as absolute as that exercised
over the German armies. No change
the allies can make would alter Ger
many's advantage of interior lines.
Would a supreme generalisimo be
able to effect an efficient uniflcation
of the allies strategy? 1t is not easy
to say. and opinion in the allied ooun-
tries is more divided over this ques-
ton than any other regarding the
conduct of the war.
1t must be remembered that the
entente allies and the United Stats IS
form a coalition of free nations as OPP
posed to Germany and her vassais,
who are Independent only in name.
The states now fighting under Ger
man leadership are NJ more free than
the states which more or less unwill-
ingly aided Napoleon against the Eu-
ropean coalition. of that day. And
Napoleon was able to take advantage
Of the mutual %jealousies of his allied
enemies ana 10 exploit [ne
of his vassals quite as effectively as
the German H~ohenzollerns are now
doing. Indeed, the German bid for
world power and the Napoleonic adj
venture have much in common. And
Germany seems certain to fail for
much the same reasons Napoleon
failed-in spite of the similar advan-
tages Of a single unified. command. in
spite of similar great strategic sue
cesses and in spite of a similarly mar
Vicious military organization. The al
lies will probably blunder ahead
much as the allies of an earlier day
blundered up to Waterloo. But they
will succeed in the end because the
civilized world will never. submit to a
military tyranny, however long the
struggle must be against It,.

When the order came to charge, l
don't think we quite knew what W.
were doing. We knew the order was
coming; the. commander had been
getting more and more tense in her
orders. There had been a little ner-
vousness, but we scrambled up the
parapet like monkeys and lined UP.
Big shells were bursting round us,
and the din was terrific. Then when
the order came to advance we forgot
everything and went forward, firing
as we did so., They say our firing
was pretty accurate, and did severe
execution among the ranks of the en-
envy. Botchkareva rushed backwards
and forwards among US. "Be brave,
girls, be brave, my soldiers" she
cried: flight like warriors and die
like Russians" We had determined
to die before we would be taken ,pris-

my bayonet, and went on; but the

past me. crying. "~.Botchkareva is

for her, but I did not pay any atten-

ABOUT HERALD ADVERTISING.

The pulling power of advertisements
in a widely circulated newspaper
bearing the confidence of it's readers,
has been amply demonstrated with
in the past week. One nationally adj
vertised product appeared in these
columns over the signature of a local
man who had not as yet received his
consignment Of goods Inquiries
came in and Mr. Merchant lost no
time in rushing an order through to
care for the business developed by the
ad.
Another man, farmer, advertised
livestock in an attractive way. He
stated that he would try the Her
aid and if it did not bring him re-
turns he would advertise in a farm
paper with a big circulation and
high ad rate The other day he in
formed us that he was entirely clean
ed out.
Another local merchant advertised
a sale Of remnants last week and was
out Of them in a day or so.
Another local house advertising q
separator service week reports that
they expected six or eight separators
brought in for over-hauling. Instead
they had about forty on the floor
The cost in every instance was triv-
ial compared to results obtained.
The Herald has a big circulation in
it's field-our readers are the kline
worth reaching. Our ad service is
reasonable because we can divide the
cost among our many customers fur
nishing each an attractive ad at a low
price. Try it!

Kathryne Nav Kamm.

Kathryne May Kamm, wife of Vic
cor E. Kamm, the only daughter of
Mr.. and Mrs. William E. Webb, was
born in Lancaster, May Is, 1881, and
died at her home in Plattevilie, March
2, 1918.
She married Victor e. Kamm, Feb.
10, 1908. Three children we're born
to this union; Francis William, now
six years Of age; Donald Victor, 20
months; and Martha Elizabeth, born
Feb. %, 1918
All Of her younger years were spent
in Lancaster and Platteville. After
graduating from the Lancaster high
school in 1901, she spent great deal
of her time with her aunt and uncle,
Mr.. and Mrs. G. f. Rowe, in caring for
her aunt who became an invalid about
that time Kathryne was rarely away
from her aunt and even after her mar
riage she and her husband made their
home with her and continued the care
of her aunt until her death in 1912.
With the true devotion of a good
mother and wife she spent her entire
time in the rearing of her little family
Everything else was secondary and
while she was naturally of a social
disposition, this was sacrificed so that
she could spend every possible NOM
ent at home. One of her greatest
pleasures was to spend as much Of
her time as possible at the home of
her father and mother at Lancaster
or in having them with her.
Just previous to the birth of her
little daughter she became very i'll
with pneumonia. Everything possible
was done for her and she never gave
up her fight for life, fully conscious
to the end of the grave nature of her
illness.

BIG DECREASE SHOWN IN
CORN STOCKS IN STATE.

MADISON, Wis, March 1.-THE
quantity of corn on Wisconsin farms
on March 1, 1918, was the lowest in
years, according to the joint crop re
port issued at Madison today. It is es-
timated that 4,220,O00 bushels remain
on farms on March 1, 1918, compared
to 10,343 900 bushels on March /, 1917,
and 4,899,000 on March /, 1916. The
small quantity OF corn on farms is
due to the poor quality Of most of
the corn produced as we'll as to the
practical failure of the crop in many
sections in 1917.
The percentage of corn of merchant.
able quality produced in 1917 it is
estimated, was but 10 per cent Of the
total crop compared to IS per cent in
1917 and 13 per cent in 1916. Practi-
cally none of the 1917 crop will be
shipped out OF the county where
grown compared to a ten-year average
Of 3 per cent shipped out
Estimated farm holdings of wheat
in Wisconsin on March 1, 1918, is
1,172,O00 bushels; March /, 1917,
100000, and March 1, 1916, 1,166, 1000
bushels.
Estimated holdings Of oats in the
state on March 1, 1918, is 37,620,O0O
bushels; March l, 1917, 28,49O,OOO; and
March l, 1916, 41,99O,OOO bushels.
