ED AT RUSSIA'S WITH
DRAW FROM WAR
Washington, Feb. 1. How Rus
sia's complete withdrawal from ihe
war will affect the allies ami the
1'nited States in a military way can
not be accurately estimated at this
time, officials here believe, despite
the fact that on p;per the Russian
toilapi.e would seem to give the
Germ a:; 3 a great numerical super
iority of troops on the west front.
O'licially there is nothing to be
said on the subject, because the gov
trnmei has no ofiitial information.
Probably no definite official announ
cement of how it a'-Tecis the situa
tion could be made any way with
out agreement among all the co
belligerents and that is considered
unlikely. Military men. however,
conlklent that the :.ll;ed !in' on the
western front will hoid against ary
German fore' that can he thrown
againsl it. profess not to regard the
Russian separate p.vco as the men
ace it would appear on paper.
The fact that J.r.oo.oyo German
prisoners will be freed to return to
Germany is regarded with no alarm
all. Military men say they could
not i.iiu i.iy iiv retM-gauizcu into ei-j

"The fatherland party is justly r
rallied by many people as the chie
obstacle to peace. In Ravaria- it
propaganda is unceasing and is ad
vancing by leaps and bounds. The
narty has unlimited funds and good
business men to spend the monev
judiciously in cultivating the Ger
man "will to power.'
"On the other hand, this junta of
government oflicials. country squires,
ronr.iasters. admirals and big manu
facturers exercises an odious tyran
ny on all the people dependent on
it. Woe betide the village constable,

dares refuse his monthly gift to the

"As for all the fuss about demo
cratization, I think it is mostlv
moomh'iiie. manufactured for the
benefit of the romantically inclined
English radical.
"There is discontent simmering ut.
and down the country, but to quiet
t a pound of butter a week would
go farther than any promise of po
litical reform. The riots that take
place in the towns from time to
time are the work of women whose
iiustianus have long been away in
the field, and who have got out ef
hand. Mobs of half-grown lads run
wild and get into mischief, and even
worse than mischiet.
"I:i Ravaria the emperor and Rer-

elsewhere, the dynastic sentiment is
so strong that nothing can root it
out.
"As regards the food position, I

A CAPTAIN OF THE COMMISSARY.
The county agents constitute
American agriculture's first line of
defence.
They are the men in the first line
trenches, zealously guarding the
farmer's interests and bringing to his
attention all that is of immediate
practical value in our scientific
teaching, and fortifying this with
result, from the experience of the
moL successful hard-headed prac
tical 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 Govern
ment can hardly be over emphasized.
Since the I'nited States became
a belligerent, the county agent has
done valiant war service. In counties
having agents, it was possible during
the past summer to secure truly
wonderful results, in quickly and
adequately meeting a difficult labor
situation; in locating available seed
stocks: in arranging for farm credits
