All reports to the war department
indicate that the allies atill hold a
very appreciable numerical superior
ity both In men and guna on the
Western front despite the heavy Ger
man concentration there since the
defection of Russia.
Secretary Raker's weekly war re
view Monday made this announce
ment and in commenting later, Mr.
Raker said it represented the best
judgment of the department based
upon advices from all sources.
The review this week gives first
place to the statement that "Aiheri-
can troops which have completed
their training are now occupying
a portion of the artual battle front.
It warned the country that “the
world has been flooded” with re
ports of Internal unrest in Germany
which must not be allowed “to af
fect the effectiveness or speed t>f our
own preparations.”
(’ommenting on the meeting of the
supreme war council at Versailles,
the review says It “promises to show
positive results ‘ In the way of unity
of action on all fronts ”
Reviewing operations for the week
ending February Secretary Raker
says * American troops which have
now completed their training are or-
rnpytng a portion of the artual battle
front The operations In which our
troops have so far been engaged were
of a minor character

the Pan-Germans bare brought
peace negotiations and the future
of Geritianjs into great ganger.
Admiral voft,Tlrp!tz, leader of the
Fatherland party, after an interview
with the imperial chancellor, declar
ed that he wi^s satisfied with the gov-
ernment'H plans concerning the East.
Such a declaration, says the pam
phlet, proves that the government
is in collusion with the advocates of
violence.
“Our* press is gagged, our com
rades are imprisoned and the facto
ries to a still greater extent are mar-
tiallsed,” continues the pamphlet.
“Men and women o( the working
classes, there Is no time to lose.
After the horrors and. horrible suf
fering we have undergone, a new
and .frightful disaster threatens our
people—yes, even the whole of hu
manity.
“Only a peace without Indemnities
and annexations can save us and the
hour has come when you must raise
your, voice, for anch n peace. At this
moment the German people ipuftt by
means of powerful demonstrations
manifest Its will to finish the-war.”

Rernstein. Hugo Haase, Wilhelm
Dittmann. George Ledebour and oth

The sinking of the British trans
port Tuacanla, with the loes of a
number of American soldiers. Is the
first tragedy of Its kind which has
enveloped our forme since the war
began. While the men on board
were for the moat part from Mich
igan and Wisconsin the entire coun
try feels the ebork of the disaster,

of the supreme war
is considering with British
the advisability of starting
a flow of American battalions
through the Rritish training system
to front line trenches In Flanders.
This ^rojecj, it was .earned has
been talked over in various forms,
one of the concrete prbposals being
that 150 battalions be assigned for
such training.
'^Congestioh at the American de
barkation ports in France lies baCk
of. the suggestion. Ry diverting cer
tain units to Rritish ports and pass
ing them through the Rritish system
it has been urged that a considerable
body of men could be trained and
put on the iiring liie, who otherwise
could not be sent forward for
months. . 5
It is known that proffers of Brit-
ioh and French ships to carry Am
erican troops have accompanied ur
gent representations from the other
side in behalf of the early movement
of as many men as possible across
the Atlantic. There are intimations,
in fact, that British transports al
ready have ben used to carry Ameri
can troops to a limited extent; *
The question, apparently, how
ever, is one largely of maintaining
continuous supply lines for all troops
sent over, rather than of finding
ships to carry the men.
Secretary Raker refused today to
discus* any of the questions Involv
ed In the shipping situation. Asked
specifically as to the proposal to
train additional forces In .RTteAnva.

attention all that Is of Immediate
practical value In our scientific
teaching, and fortifying this with re
sults from the experience of the
practl- ln con( , uotlng The preliminary sur-
cal farmers of each county. ►
At a time like the present, when
the nation is engaged in a great war
wherein food production is of vital
military importance, the value of the
county agent to the government can
hardly be over-estimated. ~
/.Since the United States became a
belligerent, the county agent has
don© valiant war service. In coun
ties having agents, it was possible
during the pasC summer to secure
truly wonderful results, in quickly
and adequately meeting a difficult
labor situation; in locating availa
ble seed stocks; > in arranging fbr
farm credits for the purchase of
machinery and fertilizer; in supply
ing tractor power, and in other forms
of effective leadership, all* contribut
ing to. a great Increase in the produc
tion of spring wheat, oats, corn, po
tatoes and other food crops; and fin
ally, in assisting In facilitating mar
keting.

cal superiority both in men mid guns.
* In the Rritiah theater numerous
raids look pace. South of Lens and
northeast of Uingemarck. as well as
south of the Scarpe, the Germans
sent out reconnoitering detachments.
The Rritish forces were also busily
engaged sounding the enemy line,
Identifying new units, taking meas-.
ure of the value of the new contin
gents which are arriving along the
German line in the \v r e3t from other
theaters.
“Northeast of Havrincourt and
near Epehy, Rritish patrols brought
in prisoners. Hostile artillery kept
up a heavy fire throughout the week
In the Ypres and Cambrai salients.
Passachertdaele was the scene of very
livery shelling and the regions of Ar-
ras and I>ens were also principal tar
gets for the Germans.
"The French were also busy raid
ing the enemy and kept a careful
outlook along their entire front. Op
posite the French, the Germans con
fined operations to minor raids north
of the Aisne and upper Alsace.
“Profiting by the favorable atmos
pheric conditions which prevailed,
air raids on a large scale were un
dertaken. The Rirtish successfully
bombed railway centers in Flanders

upon munition plants and other mili

the Italians early in the week launch
ed a ^powerful offensive ' thrust
against the Austrian positions along
the Asiago plateau. This attack was
directed against the strongly en
trenched enemy positions fo the re
gion between the Frenzela and the
Brenta. <
“The Italians succeeded in keep
ing the hostile strongholds of the
Important peaks of the Col del Rosse
and the Monte di Val Bella, which
resulted in appreciahlf advance of
the Italian line In this area, the
eaVture of 100 officers, 2;5D0 men
and a large quantity^! munitions.
Ry this very* fortunate operation the
Italians-were able to regain the im-
portant giuund lost In this area In
December and their hold on their
positions is rendered more secure.
“Austrian reaction was prompt.

positions on.the Monte di Val Bella
was undertaken. The attacking forces
were stopped and the Italians Imme

ed the food situation with them. The
editors told von Hindenburg that by
next^ May there would be no food
“My reply is.” said the field mar
shal, “that by next April I shall be
in Paris.”
Hindenburg’s latest boast—that
he would he in Paris by April—has
left official Washington undisturb
ed and a trifle amused.
“It’s Hindenbrug’s little April fool
joke,” w’as the comment in some
quarters. In others it is looked upon
as a boast for home consumption.
The war lords of Berlin, semi-of
ficial advices indicate, are holding
out high hopes to an exasperated sul
len people, while preparations ate
rushed for a spectacular drive en the
western front.
President Wilson took further
steps to upset -the calculations of
Hindenburg. The German general
staff, the advices show, is staking ev
erything'on the expectation that the
most telling blows of the “mailed
fist” can be struck before the Unif-
ed States can play any appreciable
part on the western front.

addition to the potash content, ashes
•Iso contain some phosphoric arid
and a large amount of lime. Ashes
should not be mixed with soluble
phosphates as its lime content will
revert these phosphates to a leas
soluble form; nor with ammonia

because the caustic lime con
tent will liberate some of the am

ashes to the soil ahead of other fer-
tilizcfs by a week or ten days.
The amount of ashes from a cord
of wood varies with the kind of
wood burned and with the complete
ness of the burning. It is higher
when small limbs and twigs, a/re
burned than when the trunk of the
tree is used. Therefore, the tree
may be sawed into lumber and the
branches used for fuel, so obtaining
a higher percentage of ashes. Pine
wood yields about one-third of one
per cent of its weight of pure ashes
while hardwood yields around one
per cent of ashes. Further, a cord
of hardwood weighs 4,000 pounds
while a cord of pine weighs approx
imately 3,500 pounds, hence a cord
