GERMAN EMIGRATION.
A great .emigration movement is
arising in Germany as a result of
the heavy taxes imposed for pay
ment of the war indemnity.
This movement does not meet
with any disapproval from the gov
ernment, rather the contrary.
The chief objective seems to be
South America, particularly Argen
tina. Paraguay. Chile and Peru.

cause of the late strained relations
between Germany and that country'-
It is said that companies have
been formed for the purpose of pur

many can obtain l;rg-' i;pplie of
raw material which she sorely
needs.
The United States of course will
be interested in this proposed colon
ization scheme, and the other allies
little less so. For it may be felt
that the withdrawal of numbers of
workmen and a considerable amount
of capital from Germany migta af
fect the payment of her indemnities.
On the other hand it would mean
supplying German home markets
with raw materials that would
facilitate manufacture, and the sale
of those manufactures in countries
which will not boycott German
goods would of course improve Ger
many's financial position.
In any event, it behooves the
United States to keep closely in
touch with the situation in South
America.

THE LUXURIOUS SAILOR.
A queer situation has arisen in
the return of the Dutch steamships.
Nearly 50 ships, it will be remem
ered, which had been idle in Ameri
can harbors, were chartered last
year by the United States govern
ment for cargo use in connection
with the war service. With the
emergency past, they are now being
transferred to their owners.
Before availing itself of those
ships, the United States remodeled
their interiors, providing better
quarters for officers and crews, with
steam beat, baths, refrigerators and
other improvements required by the
Ameican shipping regulations. These
additions, it was supposed, added
materially to the value of the ves
sels. The commissioners, however.
decided to be generous. So they in
formed the Dutch government that
they would leave all this apparatus
in the ships as a gift to the owners.
The reply was an order to remove
all these modern comforts in com
pliance with the charter term?
which provided that ships should
,be returned in the same condition
in which they had been taken. The
Dutch owners objected to the im
provements on the ground that if
one ship had them the crews of
other Dutch ships would demand
them.
There could hardly be any more
instructive commentary on the su
periority of the treatment now giv
en American sailors over those of
other nations. Only the American
sailor is able to go to sea in a com
fortable, steam-heated flat. with
liberal pay and nearly all the lux
uries of life ashore.
GENERALS AND ADMIRALS.
There seems to be some question
whether the permanent rank of gen
eral should be conferred on John J.
Pershing and Peyton C. March and
the rank of admiral on William S.
Sims and William S. Benson.
As regards Pershing and Sims, it
is certainly hard to see why there
should even be any debate about the
matter. To the public the former
is now, and always will be "Gen
eral rershing," and the latter is
and -will remain "Admiral Sims."
Both of these men are recognized as
having done a big, difficult piece of
work, one as the commander in
France of the largest army ever
raised by the United States, and
the other as the commander in
European waters of the largest
American war fleet ever assembled.
They deserve fitting recognition.
There is another reason, no less
compelling. The titles may be said
to belong to the task. How can a
great nation respect itself if it re
fuses to give appropriate rank to
the men who serve it in such con
spicuous places?
There may be more dispute as to
the claims of March and Benson.
That is natural, whatever their
qualifications, because unlike the
commanders in the war zone, they
have not been in the public eye and
in contact with the operating forc
es. Their merit is better judged by
experts than by the man in the
street. It Is self-evident, however,
that there must have been some big.
able man behind Pershing and like
wise behind Sims, or they could not
have had the facilities provided
with which they were able to win
their big successes and produce so
favorable an impression. Russia had
good commanders who met defeat
after defeat, because they lacked
adequate backing at Petrograd. If
March, as Chief of Staff, and Ben
son, as Chief of Naval Operations,
filled their offices capably at a time
more trying than aaiy since the civil
war, they should ' be rewarded ac

SUNDAY GOLF.
Golf clubs at Holyoke, Mass., have
been informed by the state police
that Sunday golf-playing must stop,
or the players will be prosecuted
for breaking the Sabbath. Similar
notices are said to have been given
in Fome other Massachusetts com
munities. Amateur baseball games
have been stopped, too. .
This is an extreme instance of
severity in present-day Sunday i-
?rvance. It would have aroused
little comment or criticism in the
old Puritan days. Now it looks
strangely anachronistic, and calls
forth condemnation from many
sources, including some caurni
organizations.

or anything that win tenu to pro
mote irreverence or distract peoples
minds from the wholesome religious
and moral influences that are sup
posed to characterize the Sabbath
day. But it is thought possible to
be more liberal than our forefathers
about such matters, without being
necessarily irreligious or immoral.
The present generation regards anti

not at all certain that people are
much worse on that account.
There might well be more churrh-

If there is to be no Sunday
or baseball, there can hardly be any
justification for Sunday swimming
or automobiling or boating.
There are people, worthy of all
respect, who do condemn all these
pastimes. Most citizens, rightly or
wrongly, will not tolerate such rigid
observance. And yet, where is the
line to be drawn? If golf is for

July 1st, 1919,
the 1920 price
of the Titan 10-20
kerosene' tractor is
$ 1 ,OQO
CASH F. O. B. F ctory
$1050 When
time is given
Reasonable terms
will be given to any
man who needs the
Titan now and can
not pay cash in full.
These terms arenew.
E have reduced the price of the Titan 10-20 from $1,225 to
$1,000. This big cut is not justified by present prices of ma
terials and labor, but is made in anticioation that thn inroiw
increased volume of business developed will offset the reduction. The
Titan now becomes the world's most popular priced 3-plow tractor.
If you have been holding off buying a
tractor because $1,000 was your limit
for a good 3-plow machine, your price
will now buy the best one.
To sell the Titan 10-20 at this low price, not
a single necessary feature has been taken off
to be bought at extra cost. The Titan comes
to you complete. The Harvester Company
is too old at the business to offer you a trac
tor which is not lOOo efficient at the draw
bar and 100 efficient on the belt.
Remember, the Titan is a 3-plow tractor.
Don't confuse it with low-powered 2-plow
machines. For a fair comparison as to price,
add one-half the cost of any 2-plow tractor
to its advertised price, then add the cost of
all the extras you must buy, and that will
put it on a par with the Titan 3-plow tractor.
Then compare values.
In addition, remember the Titan is a genuine
kerosene tractor. Gasoline as tractor fuel is
unwarranted extravagance. Don't forget that.
We give you a written guarantee that the
Titan operates efficiently on kerosene.
You can't make a mistake if you select a
Titan 10-20 at its present low price. It will
give you power satisfaction that will stand
by you steadily season after season at draw
bar and belt You may rely on Harvester
reputation for good service and fair dealing.
Go to your dealer. Arrange for immediate
shipment. This price reduction may make
delivery difficult later. Place your order now.
