In order to bolster up the waning morale of the folk back home, a Ger- man military critic tells Germany the American soldiers have nothing like the finesse in execution and the quick-tgsauai who. atands.-still for a month! ness of decision that marks German troops: “He “adits “Amertca’s military contribution will’ be the mechanical applicaton of brute power. If this war to crush Prussian mili- tarism were not such a terribly se- rious thing, one would feel like smil- ing. .

But, our power felt only in the form of brute force- The Prussian has made his cause the very apotheosis of brute power. It knows no laws of man or God. It wrecks and ruins cit- ies and farms, churches and schools, non-combatant women and children, with the same callous indifference. It uses instruments of war not em- ployed since the dark ages.

The American admires power-— when applied to the arts of civiliza- tion. He harnesses it to do theiwork of the world, not to tear down and murder. : { It is because the American idea of the use of power is so radically op- posed to the Prussian that we are in this war to smash down this blind, furious Prussian brute force, A BILLION BUSHELS. The American farmer did not wait to be called for service. He volun- teered. e He has already shown he can win the war if the nation is able to main- tain a delivery service which will dis- tribute the eatables he produces. The six big crops—wheat, corn, oats, rye. barley and potatoes—will shew a billion bushels increase over last year’s production, according to official! government figures. Corn, the great native American food staple, as is fitting, leads in patriotism, with the greatest crop in history, and several other new top levels may be established. Tobacco will break all records, and if reports from the front are any gauge of tobacco’s place in the sol- dier's recreation diet, this is as good news to the “Tommies” and “Sam- mies” as the capture of another first line trench. Never has the world seen soldiers in such close array as the serried ranks of wheat stalk and corn stalk troops mustered today up hill and down dale and across the plains of the.land nature has thus herself enlisted to keep free and to propagate freedom. : These crops are the fertility of American soil. They speak for the material world. “A world made safe “|the mother is dead or alive, our bets broad | American mind. It speaks for the spiritual world.

When they let him out of Massa- 'chusetts state prison the other day he felt the light and heat of the sun) {on his shaven head for the first time in 30 years. He blinked his eyes, sat- jurally. More than that—his brain blinked. He asked to be taken to the navy yard. He rode there on an eiectric car. There were no electric cars when he was “sent up.” ; At the navy yard he watched them repair several government stper- dreadnoughts. Dreadnaughts had not been dreamed of when he last sat on his front porch with his ‘evat off in the cool of the evening and read his nefvspaper. Subways and aeroplanes, skyscrap-| ers—the list of the commonplaces cf} this day which were brain-stunning novelties to him is endless. .He sat in silence. Then he- tried to smile, but failed. What he said was short: “I don’t feel that I am alive.” Returned to life for the first time in 30 years, he felt less alive than at any time in 30 years of living death. All he knew anything aout. any more, was death—the death of prison. He couldn’t come back. They had to take him back—back to the state penitentiary.

It was also pointed out that the im- perial announcement has not pre- scribed immediate institution of the reform, inasmuch as the next election may not take place until after the war, and there is not a word of the introduction of pariiamentarism in the emperor's manifesto.

Stephen Strangewey was coming slowly toward them along the flinty path. Louise, suddenly herself again, rose briskly to her feet. Stephen had appnrently lost none of his dourness of the previous night. As he looked toward Louise, there was no mistaking the slow dislike in his stecly eyes. “Your chauffeur, madam, has ‘Just returned,” he announced. “He sent word that he will be ready to start at one o’clot ee Loutse, inspired to battle by the al- most provocative hostility of her elder host, smile! sweetly upon him, “You can’t imagine how sorry Tam to hear it,” sheesaid. “I don't know when, in the whole course of my life, Thave met with such a delightful ad- venture or spent such a perfect morn-; ing!” Stephen looked at her with level, dis: | approving =at her slender form in’ its perfectly fitting tailored gown; at her patent shoes, so obviously unsuit-! able for her surroundings, and at the faint vision of silk stockings. “If I might say so without appear- ing inhospitable,” he remarked, with faint sarcasm, “this would seem to be the fitting moment for your departure. A closer examination of our rough life up here might alter your views. If I do not have the pleasure of seeing you again, permit me to wish you fare well.” He turned and walked away. Louise watched him with very/real interest. “Do you know,” shé said to John, “there is something about your brother a little like the prophets in the Old Testament, in the way he sees only one Issue and clings to it. Are you, too, of his way of thinking?” “Up to a certain point, I believe 1) am,” he confessed. “Do you never feel cramped—in your mind, I mean?—feel that you want to push your wity through the clouds into Some other Ife?” “I feel nearer the clouds here,” he answered simply.

Etc." dom, I am glad to say, that anything of the sort happens among us.” For the second time that morning Loulse was conscious of an unexpected upheaval of emotion. She felt that the sunshine had gone, that the whole sweetness of the place had suddenly passed away. The charm of its simple austerity had perished. “And I thought I had found para- dise!" she cried. She moved quickly from John Strangewey's side. Before he could realize her intention, she had stepped over the low dividing wall and was on her knees by the side of the plain, neg+ lected grave. She tore out the spray of apple blossom which she had thrust into the bosom of her gown, and placed it reverently at the head of the little mound. For a moment her eyes drooped and her lips moved—she her- self scarcely knew whether it was in prayer. Then she turned and came slowly back to her companion. Something had gone, too, from his harm.

She was a little surprised at its poignant, almost chalighging note. “Certainly,” she replied. “I placed it there as a wortan’s protest against the injustice of that isolation.” “I deny that it is unjust.” She turned around and waved her hand toward the little gray building. “The Savior to whom your church fs dedicated thought otherwise,” she re- minded him. . “Do you play at being | | { "I Placed It There as a Woman's Pro- | test Against the Injustice of That!

Every case is different. The law by which one should be judged may be poor justice for another.” She glanced at him almost appeale ingly, but there was no stgn of yield- ing in his face. “Laws,” he reminded her, “are made for the benefit of the whole human race. Sometimes an individual. may suffer for the benefit of others, That Is inevitable.” “And so let the subject pass,” she concluded; “but it saddens me to think that one of the great sorrows of the world should be there like a monument to spoil the wonder of this morning.
