It is encouraging TO read the crop reports from the
countries of our allies All of them show better yields
and larger acreage in cereals especially than last year.
This with the sole exception of Italy where the area in
wheat is slightly decreased but it stated this will be
more than made up by heavier yields. England shows
especially large increases in all foodstuffs Her potato
crop the largest in her history This this coun-
try will be called for that much less and that so many
more ships will be available for other work. 1t is quite
certain that the big stored surplus of wheat in Aus
traga will be made available by the shipping next
year. The may be said of the Argentine. Unless

this will perhaps be the last year OF food shortage any,

The Portland Evening Telegram has for two days
been running such headlines Surrender Any Moment
with various changes to suit different editions of that
following to justify the headlines and the whole thing
merely trick to sell newspapers the street, al
ways frowned upon by the reliable newspapers.
These headlines no doubt were responsible in large
measure for the rumors that the Crown Prince and his
army had surrendered, when as matter of fact such
an occurance was never even imminent His army was
surrounded and would have to be yellow indeed to
surrnder without making effort to escape from the
trap The worst that could happen to the Crown Princes
army in the present dilemma would be heavy loss of men
and military equipment and stores in the event of hur
red retreat being forced in the face Of victorious enemy
and for the Grown Prince himself he is probably fifty
miles away from the fighting line---or further.

CALDER HERRING, Mgr.

Mr.. and Mrs. A. C. Barclay and
daughter, Miss Edna, returned Mon
day night from a nineteen day auto
trip through Canada, going as far
as Calgary and Banf. They travelled
2,16O miles, and one day covered
over $50 miles. Mr.. Barclay says of
his trip it was very enjoyable. The
Canadian roads, he says, are better
as a general thing than the roads IN
this country. One can see in the
number of manned men that Canada
has been in the war. The determin-
alton there, as it is here, is that the
war must go on to a finish. No in
decisive victory is thought of. He
says that the feeling there is that
the tide of battle has turned in favor
of the allies, and now that the
United States is really getting in
there is no longer any doubt about
the final outcome.

German Army
Beyond Frontier

WITH THE AMERICAN ARMY
OF OCCUPATION, Nov. 2O.-With
the exception of few laggard units,
the last of Germany's armies disap-
peared today behind their own from
tier From the villages located in
the narrow strip of unoccupied terri
tory between the American and Ger
man forces came repor5s during the
day that stragglers last night and
early this morning had engaged in
looting.
Appeals were received from the in
habitants that the advancing Ameri-
cans hasten to their relief Investi-
cation proved, however, that the vii
layers were more excited than in
iured and that most of the damage
being done by the little groups of
Germans was to the Germans own
stores Of food and clothing.
Other appeals were found to have
more foundation. Those from the
mayors of Halanzy and other neigh
boring towns reported the presence
of wounded and sick in greater num-

ficers and supplies were sent, after
notification to the Germans of the

evacuated these towns they took with
them not only the medical and nurs-
ing stats, but also the hospital sup
plies, abandoning the sick and the
wounded to the mercies of the towns
people and the army of occupation.

Retention
OF Officers

WASHINGTON, Nov. 2O.-Steps
to retain permanently in the army
officers commissioned from civil life
who have displayed marked ability in
the service are being considered by
the general staff. Plans for the de-
mobilization of officers, it was learned
today, are being shaped with this end
in view.
The first of the approximately 160,-
900 men in the officers corps released
will be those who are anxious to sever
completely their connection with mill
tary life and return to their former
civil occupations. Applications from
these men for release, officials said,
will be given first consideration and
will be acted upon promptly Con-
sideration, it was said, next will be
given to applications from officers
who wish to return to civil life, but
to retain their status as reserve Of
hcers, subject to call for period of
years. General staff officials believe
that large portion will follow this
course, thereby giving the United
States an adequate supply of compe-
tent reserve officers for the first time
in history.

Shafter Wykle
Missing In Action

Mr.. and Mrs. Scott Wykleg who re-
side on Greeneville route No. 1, re-
ceived advices yesterday that their
son, Shafter Wykle, was missing in
action. A card was received from
the young man some days ago dated
October 9th, which stated that he was
at that time on his way to British
hospital in British ambulance. This
was the first information that came
announcing that he had either been
wounded or was i'll. There are slight
hopes entertained that the young man
may be in the hospital and in some
manner had not been accounted for
among the wounded. The notice does
necessarily imply that he had been
killed, as those captured are often
reported in this manner. The situa-
ton is most anxious and trying one
for the parents and friends of the
young man, who await more definite
news regarding the outcome.
Shafter Wykle enlisted for service
at the beginning Of the war. He was
among the first volunteers from this
county and no doubt when full ac-
count has been given of his steward
ship it will show that his record on
the battlefront was most creditable.
Friends of Mr.. and Mrs. Wykle
sympathize with them in their most
unhappy hour.
