I suppose you must call him a Boche because he was born in Munich and was serving in the Herman army. But most of his native Bochery must have been purgeu out of him by living among civilized people. He spoke English, not a bit like a foreigner, and altogether it was difficult to realize he was a Hun at all. For years, he said, he had been dealing in land and mines and things in America. He happened to be visiting London when the war threatened. He'd never taken out papers in the States, and he was afraid of being interned or something, so he skipped out the day before war was declared and got to Germany. For a long time he was employed there on special work, but when the Sommc push was on last year and men were needed, he had to join up. He had served on different parts of the front. This is what he told, quivering now and again as he thought of it: "This war is the greatest crime the world has ever seen. The crimes that made the French Revolution are nothing if you compare them with the crimes of the beasts who are running Germany today, and keeping this j war going. They were only thieves and brigands when they began it, and thought they'd bring it off, but now! they're the bloodiest murderers by | wholesale that the world ever pro-j duced. There never was anything like i it before. They know perfectly well they've lost the war; they've known for months that the last chances they ever had have gone. Rut they are too frightened for their own skins to admit it and call a halt, and because they are frightened of what the people might do when they learned the truth, they keep the thing going and sacrifice many thousands of Germans every single day and millions of money?what for? To shield the reputations of a handful of princes and politicians. It's the greatest crime the world has ever known. Here on this front our people are being killed' like flies. Your artillery kills them' in hunches. There isn't a minute of the day hut legs and arms are being blown off. Our men would gladly give themselves up to end it, but you know they cannot. When there seems to he a chance, there is always an officer or non-commissioned officers about. It is not only your guns that kill. Many Germans fall ever day with German bullets in them.

Because our cursed Kaiser and the creatures we call statesmen are afraid of their lives for what will happen to them when the people know it's all up. "But plenty of them know it now.

I talked a little of what I knew. And that is enough. In Germany today the man who will tell the truth must be hustled out of the way. That is why I see no hope for Germany, because those who are left in the country have no spirit, can do nothing. All the strength of the country, such as it is, is in the fighting lines?helpless as slaves. The others, there in Germany, they are slaves; starving, starving quietly, never daring to say a word. The few who speak soon find themselves hustled into the frout line? and no more is heard of them. They go on paying the price; thousands of lives every day, every single day.

The I crazy dreams of a few bankers and I merchants, and the cowardly fears of I a few politicians and of?of the llo| henzollerns. They say the Ilapsburgs, too; but the Austrians would be thankful to make peace tomorrow, but they cannot. They are as much sacritied by Berlin as we poor devils here on the front. All the bloody slaughter of this war, with its milliards of money and thousands of lives lost? every single day?what keeps it going long after it has been finally decided, is not the will of nations. No, it is the murderous criminality and cowardice of a little handful of men in Berlin, who never have been anything but a pest in Europe. "Is not that the greatest crime the world has ever known? And is it not strictly true? Does any sane German suppose the appointed end can be altered when the whole New World is ranged against Germany, as well as the Old? They know all about the hundred millions in the States, and the millions of millions of money; the innumerable factories and shipyards. They know that America can put hundreds of thousands of fresh tloops on this front next spring, and that the exhaustion of Germany long before then will be frightful?is frightful now, has been frightful for a year and more. They know it all, and, brute devils they are, they chose to keep the awful slaughter going, not because they hope it can alter the end, but for what you call "wait and see"?because they fear to face today what they can put off till tomorrow at the cost of another few thousand decent lives, another few milliards of money. "Never before since the world began has a twentieth part of such suffering been allowed to continue day after day and month after month to protect a handful of exalted criminals from general recognition of their crimes. The Russian people rose and I smashed the bonds that bound them. nut not our people. Our tyrants have hern much cleverer. It was only the bodies of the Russian people that were fettered. Their minds were free. No j German mind in Germany has been free since 1870. The Berlin criminals have seen too well to that. Our people think they have been well educated.

HARROW STUBBLE LAND. < As soon as grain is removed fro n ie fields, they should be harrowed to ane a uusi inuicn to prevent unaue ss of moisture, and to keep the land ? om baking, or crusting over. If it _ akes, which it will do in hot dry eather, it will break up into clods hen plowed, and be very hard to at in pood shape for planting. Uniss it is to be plowed right away, hile there is a pood season in the ind, it should be harrowed with a isc harrow so that it will break up ood if it pets dry before all can be lowed.
