qf delight. Even the women, who have to feed the huge appetites of the harvest hands, enjoy the opportunities for social chit-chat and exchange of ideas. In the old days it was the great meeting time of the countryside, neighbors qxchanging work and visiting the while. This year, with the troops of volunteer workers from the towns and cities to be employed, there is a revival of some of the old-time customs.

Above all else, it is 'a worthy work, helping get in the most precious food crop 'of the earth at time when it is needed as never before. Any community where there is a shortage of help should organize harvest parties at once. The golden wheat fields—a bumper crop if there ever was one— bSckon.

"THE BLACK DEVILS."

A war dispatch to the Tribune says that the Germans have a singular fear of the negro soldier in the ranks of the American force*. These soldiers have proved themselves without fear, and have acquired trench methods that make the Hun dread contact with them.

When the Scotch Highlanders charged Into battle with their kilts flapping In the winds, the Germans, first astonished and then terrorstricken, dubbed them "ladies from Hell." And ladies from hell they are proud to call themselves, since the name is a compliment to their valor.

France has her "blue devils'* and her "red devils"—men whose fighting qualities have been tempered in the furnace of the western front. The Germans ought to knowa devil when they meet one, and it is not without reason that they apply the name in this case. Needless to say a French soldier is proud to be called a devil by a Hun. It Is a tribute. It betokens the only kind of respect a German is capable of feeling toward a foe—a respefct byn of the taste of cold steel.-

And now a new Rftid 'of "devil" is restless to be loosed on the western front. An American correspondent has been visiting the training camp of one of the United States negro regiments behind the fighting line. The troops are anxious to get into the thick of the fighting, and cannot understand why they should be. kept back of the danger tone so long. And their chief ambition, according to the correspondent, is to have the Germans bestow on them the coveted name of "black devils.''

It may be .added that, if these negro soldiers of the republic fight when their chance comes as our negro Aoldiers have fought in every war America ever engaged in, the Germans will be quick enough to recognize the

The Chandler motor, designed and built In oar own factory, distinguishes the Chandler chassis, marked throughout by Its simplicity and sturdlnees. The life, pickup, get-away and endurance of this motor will astonish you quite as much as it pleases you.

Bodies of most attractive design and of unusual comfort are mounted on the Chandler chassis.

Could I Have Gone

By George E. Bowtn. of tke Vigilantes. The day that Stevie went away— 0 spring was new and life was sweet.

But men marched grimly -down the street— Marched forth Into the thickening fray,

The arms of hate and death to meet— As only men' like Stevie may, O spring was glad and life's new song

Went laughing to the kindly sky. The day that Stevie said groodby. And went to mend the monstrols wrong

Vh ose challenge finds but one reply From men whose lore of right i| strong.

The day that Stevie went away Comes back to mfe in every dawn. Comes back—to find our Stevie

How slight was Stevie, as men go— Stow fine his poise, how brave his grace! 1 wish the valor in his face All men. in peace or war, coold know.

Could I have gone In Stevie's place— But Stevie would not have ft so.

God love him! Stevie'* heart is true, And Stevie's smile is of the spring

Afar triumphant bugles sing Glad victories of earth made new, For Stevie, home one day, to bring As love and duty urged him to,,

HOW IT WORKS OUT.

The Boche privates are informed by their officers that President Wilson has instructed the Americans to take no prisoners and that in fighting against the Yankees it njust be a war of "no quarter.** Other stories disseminated by the military Munchausens axe to the effect that the Americans torture their prisoners, that they starve them, that they infect them with deadly diseases. The results of this systematic mendacity have been noted. Germans who have pretended to surrender have treacherously turned on their captors, convinced that any fate must be preferable to falling into the hands of the savage Americans. Wounded Germans have, tried fa kill their would-be resellers. Wherever the Americans face the Germans the Teuton brains conjure awful pictures of the fate that is in store for all who are at the mercy of thi American^ iisj

As yet the men from th$ United States have made every effort to be decent and to fight according to'the

non-German rules of civilized warfare. It is, however, inevitable that repeated instances of German treachery must harden American hearts. Ilvhen men who have surrendered turn on their captors, when wounded enemies attempt to murder the agents of mercy, when the Americans who are so unfortunate as to fall captives to the Germans are treated With vile inhumanity, the Americans who are doing the fighting are certain to indulge in little private reprisals. Such practices will not be sanctioned by responsible officers, but in the heat of battle the victorious Yankees can do about as they please in matters of this kind.

The lies that are fed the Boches to make them flght more earnestly against the Americans are certain to make many German widows unless their falsity soon becomes apparent to the German soldiers.

KVHAT EVERY MAN KNOWS.

A Tribune reader wants to know if we do not think it is a mistake to publish reports that food crisis here and there in Germany may be followed by a rebellloos outbreak on the part of the people?

Americans have learned to discount anti-war and anti-Hohenzollern manifestations in Germany. The sway of militarism has not been seriously menaced by popular discontent, and unprivileged German men are still willing to bleed and starve at the behest of their saber-jangling masters.

When a Lafollette or a Defcs expresses lack of sympathy with the war policy of the American government, Berlin is only mildly gratified. Berlin has come to know that America stands solidly behind the war and that the vociferous critics and objectors represent no considerable element of the peoples',

So both Germany and America have come to realise that expressions of discontent are of small significance. The dupes of kaiserism and the crusaders of democracy are thoroughly convinced of each other's earnestness. America Ao longer hopes for any immediate internal convulsion in Germany does not attribute to the German masses sufficient common sense or adequate initiative to end their own misery and bring peace to the world.

With Austria the case is different. There Is no homogeneous Austrian race, no unified Austrian nationality. Even the minority elements that have upheld HApsburgism have never be&n schooled in Prussian efficiency. A serious domestic overturn in Austria is not only possible, it is probable if the present offensive in Italy ends without a substantial Austrian triumph, y
