Muih as Anioricang are accused
<i f bragging about their own
country it is very doubtful whether
they realize how completely it out
classes other nations in some phases
of development and progress. The
best authorities place the number of
motor vehicles in the I'niteU States
at about 1,$00,000. At the begin
ning of the war there were de
tailed figures which Indicated a to
tal of 1.754,000 and tho Increase in
the last thtee months has been
enough to bring that number up to
1.800.000 an<' cover all probable
duplications and errors iu the sta
tistics of the automobile industry.
All the rest of the world does not
ossess half as many mc-tor vehicles.
In this phase of modern progress
the Tinted States beats all other na
"io:;s so badly that comparisons be
lOilie absurd. One year's output of
:he automobile factories of the
fnited States comes disc to match
ing the whole numbor of motor ve
hicles ow ned iu all other countries.
Ymerica builds more automobiles in
two mouths than Germany or Great
Britain manufactures in a year.
It takes some energetic and en
thusiastic boasting tc keep pace
with such f icts "mat!-* in America."

The latest official statement o
■ he condititn of the winter
wheat in the United States indi
cates that its average condition is
about 7 to 8 per cent lower than it
was a year ago when tH« greatest
wheat crop ever grown in any ••oun
try was on the way toward a tre
mendous harvest.
It must not be supposed, how
ever. that this points to a falling
off of 7 to 8 per ceut i"i the quauti
of winter wheat which may be
expected this year There is an off
set for inferior condition in the
very important exte-isiou of the
area sown to wheat l"-«t fall. It was
ibout 11 per cent greyer than tli<
acreage of the previous year.
Therefore if the growing wheal
should be favored with as goo.!
weather as that of lr.se year, from
April to July, and should fare no
worse in respect to insect pests and
• ther drawbacks, the record crop
of 1 y 14 might be surpassed. There
:« nothing in present conditions
which forbids that result.
The prospect for equalling or ex
ceeding last year's >i€ld of spring
wheat is still better. A very large
acreage will be devoted to that
grain luid the mark set in 1914 is
not quite so hard to beat as it is in
respect to winter wheat.
Altogether, the chances are good
for a very large crop of wheat tliis
vear and it may set a new record.
However big it may be it will all be
needed. The world wiu buy it at
good prices and it will add hun
dreds of millions of dollars to the
weilth of the country, especially the
farmers.
MURAGE ON THE SEA
On laud and sea alike the great
war lias been crowded with ex
hibitions of courage ot the highest
cider, says the Cleveland Leader.
Braverj- never was moie common or
of a more remarkable quality.
But on the sea the perils have
been greater than on the land. For
men going into naval battles the
alternative has repeatedly been vic
tory or death, in tiie most literal
seuse. The victorious ships save
nearly all of their crews. The
vanquished go down to their doom.
Ye', uowliere is there even a
whisper of flinchiug by the men
who fight on warships. Nowhere is
there a hint of efforts to desert or
in any way dodge the grim duty
which so often exacts the supreme
sacrifice of life.
And there is no re.isor to believe
that the unarmed seamen of Rritioh
and French merchant ships refuse
to face boldly the terrors of sub
marine attacks. They keep thou
sands of steamers running. They
go ou: of port much the same as in
ordinary times.
Th>? explanation is the habitual
and necessary courage of those who
spend their lives and find their
work '.n deep water. They must be |
brave. If they lacked courage they 1
would not be seamen.
The great waters teach cool
bravery in the face o." peril. They I
school sailors to meet the most ter-1
rible dangers without flinching.
M'-n who habitually st?ke their lives
ipon their ability to tvcrcome the
tury of storms and escape the
deadly menace of fog-hidden real's
■tn-' other masked rest rovers are
not likely to lack heroism in war.
