CROP SITUATION ABROAD.
While Americans have been taken
lip with their own efforts to Increase
the supply of food for the world and
are making a great headway in that
direction, it will encourage them to
know that those to whom we have
devoted our surplus are doing their
utmost to help themselves, says Omaha
Bee. Particularly Is this true of the
United Kingdom, where agriculture Is
being carried on at the highest pitch
ever attained. In England the acreage
sown to winter wheat Is 56 per cent
greater than two years ago, while the
prospect for the crop is better than In
many years. Other plantings are
equally good In prospect. Scotland re
turns a similar report, the spring sow
ing there exceeding former years, botli
in extent and condition. Weather con
ditions huve been especially favorable
for fnrin work of all kinds. Ireland is
not reported on In detail, but tho dis
turbances over there huve had the sin
gular effect of stimulating agricultural
effort and more land Is being tilled
than was used last year. France will
have a better wheat yield, according
to tho present outlook, nlthough the
sown acreage is still smaller because
of the scarcity of help. Italy lias not
neglected planting, but suffers, ns does
France, by reason of shortage of farm
labor.
The Germans lmvc been working at
their present unsuccessful attempt to
break through the allied line longer
than they were engaged in the whole
campaign against Austria in the sum
mer of 1806. In the days of Bismarck
and von Moltko they never started any
thing that they were not able to put
through, says Milwaukee Wisconsin.
Bismarck and von Moltke are dead.
The present war was precipitated un
der other auspices. Wasn’t it Pope Leo
who dubbed the present emperor of
Gcrinnny “the Young Man in a Hurry.”
He has been in a grent hurry since he
began operations on the West front at
the end of July, 1914, hut he has not
yet reached Paris—and he won’t.
Shipworkers are willing to work n
while longer provided they are guar
anteed wages of $10.50 a day. Such
wages seem outrageous but even at
that the ships that the nation needs
aro cheap at the price. We refused to
build ships In the days before the war.
when they could be built for n song
and now we must pay through the nose
for them, says The Pathfinder. Wages
of all skilled artisans are unduly high
now because our schools have been
turning out too many literary scholars
and not enough trained mechanics.
The various war funds are meeting
with a generous and ready response.
The calls, both public and private, are
many, but the spirit of the people IS
aroused, and none of these calls Is be
ing neglected, to Judge by the substan
tial results. And while various asso
ciation.» and denominations work
among themselves, the grand total is
freely given to the pressing needs of
the nation, the Individual work thns
meeting In a harmonious whole.
