GERMAN VIEW OF AMERICAN ARMIES ^ A Military Critic Warns Aganist Overestimation of U. S. Contribution. \ Copenhagen. Julv G.?Canton Von ?alzmann, military critic of The Berlujtt Vossische Zeitung, devotes two cohJmns to the military influence of America on the war, with which, he S says, it will be necessary to reckon I the struggle lasts until 1918. He states the powerful influence of Am, crican intervention of Germany's opponents and on neutrals is already evident and that the effects must not be underestimated. Capt. von Salzmann savs that in regard to quality, the American soldiers will not attain the standards of brilliance characterizing the ftspch and German armies, or thier tuTent in leadership, finesse in execution and quickness of decision, but that America's military contribution, like Great Britain's, will find in num bers and mechanical application of brute power. America's numbers, he writes, are counted upon by the Entente in respect of men, artillery and particularly aviators. Incorporated in divis ienal units with British and French troops, as Captain von Salzmann expels the American forces to be, he say's they will be worthy opponents. Nevertheless, the Americans will (9 not affect the result on the western front, he writes, because Field Mar' shal von Hindenburg says the submarine will force a decision before they become a decisive factor. 99 MaSeTotI Ha^r ?

Now that radishes, lettuce, and, in W* some sections, peas, spinach, ami Iot' or early crrps should be making their preparations to utilize the freed ? space by planting other crops, say P specialists of the United States Deb pa tment of Agriculture. I In planning for these plantings, I the specialists suggest, it is well at I ail times, hut especially this year, to I concentrate efforts on the production f ot vegetables' that have considerable food value and on those which may be stored in their natural condition, Jj dried, or canned for winter use. One L of the important crops that can be 3 grown on the freer! ground is late M Irish potatoes.

Other vegetables having ^^considerable food value from which m choice may be made for late plantI jpgs include sweet corn, string beans, late beets, turnips, tomatoes, squash, K. and pumpkins. As far north as north Bt em New Jersey, southeastern Penn sylvania, central Ohio, central IndiK ana, northern Illinois, and central I Iowa, sweet potatoes also may be 9* d< pclBffed on to mature from plant ings made as late as June 10 on I sandy land. Among the less nutritious veget r.bles which may be planted in soil freed by early hravests are late cabB**bage and cucumbers. Winter onions, fall lettuce, and fall radishes also may be planted late in the season It is not essenital, the specialists point out, to wait until all radishes, B heads of lettuce, and other early ma turing plants are removed before B planting seeds or setting plants for B succeeding crops. Corn or beans, for example, may be started in spaces B. made in radish or lettuce rows, or beB t? ween the rows. The radishes or letB tuc<\Mjri1l then be harvested before B the late-planted crops need all the B ground. Equally satisfactory B can be obtained from the combir.a B tion of other early ar.d late veget ables. HOME DRYING Scarcity of Cans o*- Jars Makes It Desirable?How to Dry Vegetables. Dry vegetables and fruits for win ter use if tin cans and glass jars for canning are scarce or expensive. This is the advice of specialists of the United States Department of Agriculture, who rceently have studied the possibilities of conserving food to meet war needs in spita of any difficulties that may be experienced in obtaining canning containers. Dry ing was a well-recognized and successful way of preserving certain foods before canning came into general use, the specialists point out, and modern methods m:ikp it ?H1? more practicable than formerly, either in the home or by community groups. Methods of Drying. Three methods of drying have been found by the department specialists to give satisfactory results. These are sun drying, drying by artificial heat, and drying wtih air blasts, as before . an electric fan. Trays for drying by any one of these methods, as well as tray frames for use over stoves or before fans, can be made satisfactory at home. Frames and trays for use with artificial heat may be purchased com. plete if desired. Homestead trays may be made of side >and end boards three-fourths of an inch thick and 2 inches wide and bottom boards of lathing spaced onefourth of an inch. If dasired, 1-4 inch galvanized wire mesh may bo I tacked to the side ami .-end boards to fcrm the bottoms of the trays. Frames for use before fans may be made of wood of convenient size. Frames for use with artiricial heat should be made of noninflammable material to as great an extent as pos sible. As many as six trays may be placed one above the other when artificial heat is used. In drying before a fan the number of trays thai may be placed one above the otheV will depend, to a large extent, upon the diameter of the fan. In drying in the sun, trays as described may be . spread on sheets of paper or musLin ' held in place by weiahts. Preparing Products tor Drying Vegetables and fruits will dry bet-' ter if. sliced.. They should be out J into slices one-eighth to one-fourth of an inch thick; if thicker, they may not dry thoroughly. While drying, the products should be turned or stirred from time *0 time. Dried products should be packed temporarily for II or 5 days and poured each day from one box to another to bring about thorough mixing and so that : the whole mass will have a uniform (h'giee of moisture. If during the I "conditioning" any pieces of the | products are found to be too moist ' they should be returned to the trays and dried further. When in coi di-l - I lion the products may be packed permanently in tight paper bags, insectproof paper boxes or cartoons, or glass or tin containers. Recipes. Spinach and parsley: Spinach thai j is in prime condition for greens I should be prepared by careful wash-1 ing and removing the leaves from the | roots. Spread the leaves on trays to dry thoroughly. They will dry thoroughly. They will dry much more promptly if sliced or chopped. Beets: Select young, quickly grown tender beets, which should be wash.. I ed, peeled, sliced about an eightth of an inch thick, and dried. Turnips should be treated in the same way as beets. Carrots should be well grown, but varieties having a large woody core should be avoided . Wash, peel, and slice crosswise into pieces about an eighth of an inch thick. Pnrvninu c'nonl.l ~ * ??1 ?

The winter wheat harvest is about ten days late in Kansas, * eight or more in Tennessee, North Carolina and Virginia and about two week t late in southern Illinois and Indiana Cooperation between the^ departments of agriculture and labor has been arranged so as to have laborers on the farms where the crop is ready 1 to be harvested. Information pre-1 pared by the department of agricul-} ture as to the localities where harvesting is expected to be in progress from ten days to two weeks later, will enable the department of labor and state agencies to anticipate labor needs and secure better distirbution of fa~m help. The arrangement will he continued throughout the season for harvesting winter and spring wheat, oats and o^her crops where more farm help may be needed than local conditions can supply. ...... o The Norwegian newspapers continue to publish details of the German plot' to destroy Norwegian steamships by explosives brought! into the country by a courier of the I German foreign office, which result- ( ed in the arrest of three men la-;', week. ditioned" as described.

Many American soldiers crowded down to the tffhnrf to greet th last ships of the expedition and the American vessels in the harbor which had made up previous units of the , (force joined in the welcome. The 1 late arrival of the supply ships was 1 due not only to later departure from America but to the fact that the vesI sols were slower than those which had come before.

One batallion leaves today for Paris to parade on the Fourth of July and will leave the1 clay following for their permanent training camp, to be located behind the front, "somewhere in France." , The departure of these troops will , be the forerunner of a general exo! dus of the men arriving during the past week, although exact dates have not yet been determined.

Sketching briefly the advance plans whereby all units of the contingent had to keep a daily rendez ' vous with accompanying warships, he said that, thanks to his navigating officers and despite overc;ist skies which made astronomical ob servations impossible, each nendez1 vous had been minutely and accurate j ly kept by each unit. The orders he I issued at the outset weeo observed I with such exactness tha^ the contini gent units and convoying warships invariably met each other within a half hour of the appointed time. This exactness on the part of the I navigation officers, the admiral said, undoubtedly was responsible in no I small degree for the brilliant success I of the entire undertaking, because, thanks to it, the troop and supply ships were never for a moment unguarded. Covered All Phases. , The admiral allowed the Associated Press correspondent a glimpse | into some details of the exhaustive preparations for departure from Am erica. Without going into detail ho pointed out that these preparations , 1 included minutest plans about move-J ; ments, signaling and oven disposal of the vessels' garbage, so that no tell, talc trail might be left, j A big contributing factor in the ! crossing, according to officers of both branches of the service, was the hearty cooperation between the army j and navy.

Such were the disagreeable declarations whi:h the government was forced to hear from all parties except the conservatives in a debate in the Saxon Diet yesterday, a report of which has reached her?.'* The discussion was on necessary internal reform. The occasion for I the debate was a Socialist resolu| tion demanding that the government ! make an effort to secure liberal re-organization of the empire. After Count Vitzthun, premier of Saxony has dee I eared on the contrary that | the Saxon government would fight OIL. .IKA * I *-- - I nn,> vsecure any rmncnise reform in individual states through the Reichstag, the Socialist vice president of the house, himself an ex-soldier, flatly denied that loyalty t.) the King played any role with the soldiers. Mob May Force Reforms * . He warned Count Vitzthun against persisting in his reactionary attitude, saying that reform would come, if not from the crown then from the mob. Count Vitzthun attempted to meet the storp* with the old formula, devotion to the crown, hut even the national liberals backed the Socialist w'th identical declarations regarding the sentiment among the people. One nationalist declared, as a good royalist, that he could only hope and pray that warnings sent to the irovernment from nil might roach the king. Another nationalist said that the vast majority of Saxons were inspired by an utter lack of confidence in the government Unless the government was unable to rise to the emergency with action demanded, he feared for the consequences. A.fter this debate, almost unparalleled 'n a German legislature since the days of 1348, the Diet adopted the Socialist resolution, the conservatives alone dissenting. o IT IS THE PEOPLES WAR. "The greatest fact that stands out above all the rest is that this is a people's war, a war for freedom and justice and self-government among all the nations of the world, a war to make the world safe for the peoples who live upon it and have made it their own."?Woodrow Wilson, President of the United States.
