a Se Cae Oe ee en * RECREATION BIg | NEED OF YANKEES Sokliers Over There- Must Be Given Mental and Physical \ Diversion. WAR IS MOST DEPRESSING Gtandard Oil Official Who Has Been Serving as Y. M. C. A. Secretary Says Soldiers Must Be Saved From Going Insane. : New York.—“I¢ the United States \s to be spared the harrowing experi- ence of haying thousands of American soldiers returned home because of mental derangements, this country must provide for more physical and mental recreation for our boys over- seas,” That's the message which Herbert L, Pratt, vice president of the Standard Oll company, brings to the American people after spending seven weeks in France as.a Y. M. C. A. secretary, and who while there was riven opportun- ity to see just what is meant by. war. “During the first 18 months of the war there were as many English and Canadian soldiers retuyned to England because of mental derangements as there were because of wounds,” said Mr. Pratt. “The United States must profit by the experiences of our allies and must plan now to enlarge our fa: cilities. overseas for taking care of our men when not actually fighting. ‘The American soldier is naturally higher strung than any of the allied soldiers. Ge's always on his‘toes. He's ever alert, Always ready to go. He's a dynamo of energy. And when he isn’t actually fighting he seeks an outlet for that energy and it is of vital impor- tance that his energies be directed tightly, ‘ : War Is: Depressing. “The war is most depressing. One who rubs against. the realities of war ts overwhelmed by its seriousness. One. marvels at what the men have endured and what they are accomplishing. The war overshadows everything else. And that’s all the more reason ‘why every- thing that will result in cheering up our. men should be done now:. A great deal is being done but.a lot more must be done. “I wish I could describe, just. how the war affects one who comes in con- tact with it. He feels ajl pent up. His emotions seem all bundled to- gether. And naturally he seeks relief. He welcomes the smile, the laugh, the warm. handshake, the word of -good cheer. Good cheer! Ah, that’s It. It’s the ‘cheer-up’ message, >, that Js. needed oversens. ‘ F “Don’t think our boys are down- hearted or that they are discouraged. Just. the opposite is true. Thelr. morale {Is excellent. Their spirits are high; their courage Is just what it ought to be and they are absolutely confident. But they want that bit of cheer which makes them forget’ some of the cruel- ties of war. And we folks at home must see that they get it. “General Pershing has commissioned the Y. M. C. A. to provide for the physical and mental recrention of the American soldiers und sailors overseas. The association has been given a great big job and in spite of most perplex- Ing difficulties has been doing splendid- ly. But the great need today is for men, great, big, twyo-fisted, red-blooded men who are capable of tackling a great big man’s job and getting away |. with it big. Has a Hard Job. “Serving as a ‘Y. M.’ secretary in France ts a hard job. The hours are long. The hardships are many. And the responsibilities are tremendous. It isn’t merely a case of selling cigarettes or chocolate.. That’s merely incidental to the big work which is being done, The ‘Red Triangle’ man is the soldier's pal. And a good: pal-must always be there with a smile or a word of cheer or a warm handclasp or just whatever it is that is needed. This may sound easy but It’s not. It's a hard job. “The American people must wake up to this genuine need for big men to serve as ‘Y. M.’ secretaries overscas, They must realize that this service is of the greatest importance to the American soldier and sailor. It's what so frequently makes a soldier on the verge of breakdown because of nerv- ous strain, a soldier fit for service.” - i WOMAN SAVES AUSTRIAN BY TALK FROM WINDOW Berkeley Springs, W.

WHERE HUNS HIT NEXT All indications point to the fact that the failure of their at- tacks against the Franco-Amer- ican ‘lines-east and west of Rheims will cause the Germans to shift their next blow toward Amiens and make another lunge for the channel ports. The battle is still'in progress along the Marne, but it is be- lieved that Hindenburg has been convinced that he cannot break through as he did in his four previous offensives, and has called a halt on the drive.

The number of prisoners taken in the Franco-American offen- sive now has reached 18,800. 9 On the Rheims front the French forces have advanced for a distance of 1,000 yards between Souain and Auberive. The French also made slight progress near Pourcy. AMERICANS GAIN MILE With the American Army, Between the Aisne and the Marne, July 20.—American troops participating in the Franco-Amer- ican advance late today of about a mile and a quarter on the Cha- teau Thierry front went forward against strong machine gun fire over ground covered with German dead. « BISMARCK: DAILY TRIBUNE [COUNTY AGENTS *|they could handle the harves: sive movemént has been completely stopped. : 4 Frazier and Commissioner of Agricul- ‘ture Hagan have. impressed upon Pro- .|made to find an equitable ‘asis for into action.

EXTREME HEAT GIVES GRAINS ANOTHER BLOW Wheat and Flax Greatest Suffer- ers from Ardent Rays of King Sol Reports reaching Commissioner of ‘| Agriculture and Labor Hagan during the last few days have shown a mark- ed improvement in crops throughout the state, thanks to local rains. This betterment has been largely discount- ed, however, by the extremely. hot afternoon at 2 the mercury stood at 94. In some parts of the state tem- peratures of 98 have been reported. This extreme heat is not beneficial to any crop except corn, of which there is a comparatively small acreage this year. Winter rye generally is so far along that the heat will only hasten its ripening. but much of ‘the wheat which had shown gains as a result of the recent rains has suffered another setback, and the same is true of oats. Flax, just bursting into bloom, is wilt- ing badly, and if the heat continues another 48 hours without rain there will be a heavy loss. BUY W. 5. S. Tribune Want Ads Bring Results.

It was a proposition which they de- clined to embrace with any enthus: iasm, and it was the generai verdict that the question was one which should be left to each community to decide for itself. As a result there will be no attempt to fix a aniform farm labor wage scale for the whole slope. Fifty per cent of the Slope counties reported that owing to the light crop their farm labor regerve, wi side assistance. The remainin per cent reported they must have out- side help in numbers ranging from 160: to 500. This outside help will be handled so far as possible through the government free employiaent bu- reaus. A labor secretary will be nam- ed in each town to cooperate with tne federal bureaus. While prospects for a light crop in the western half of North Dakotw have ‘somewhat simplified the labor problem, the 1918 harvest will present unusual difficulties, in the opinion of the state’s county agricultural ageats. To insure the saving of every bushet, of grain no able-bodied man or boy can be spared during harvest, except to the most essential industries, de- clare the county agents. North Da kota will need, they believe, a volun- teer army of at least 50,000 workers, and the cities and towns must furnish these workers. Because this volun- teer help will be inexperienced and un- trained to a large extent, the supply must be twice as large as would be required were drilled ‘farm hands available) Beginning next Monday, 3,000 North Dakota select service men, probably fifty per cent of whom are actual farnr ers, will be entrained for Camp Custer, Mich. During August it is antitcipat- ed that as many more will be taken, and the August calls must be fillea aimost entirely with farmers who have had deferred classificatins hecause of their occupations. The'class one men in a number of agricultural counties already are exhausted. Governor vost Marshal General Crowder the im- portance of deferring these calls to insure the proper harvesting of the 1918 crop. Provost Marshal General Crowder’s reply to them has been the game that he previously..had made to Other states: “The most important thing is the war—it must come first.” The Slope’s wheat yield probably will not exceed seven bushels to the acre. Winter rye also will be light in the western half of the state, and the oats yield is still in doybt. With in- experienced help, however, the county agents estimate that as many men will be needed to harvest the prospective 90,000,000‘bushels of wheat estimated for this year as were required to care. for the state's great 159,000,000 bush: el crop in 1915. The wage question is'as vexing as that of labor itself. It is probable that few harvest, Wands will be found at less than forty. cents an hour, and states to the south of North Dakota already are paying fifty cents and better. An attempt will be wage fixing, but the county agents are approaching this subject with more hesitancy.
