Xew York. March 22.--All the war
heroines were not in France and
neither did November 11 mark the
end of the war work of women,

iThe War is over—The Big Republic Factory at
I Alma, Michigan, no longer has the air of a mili
tary camp. The entire force of trained mechanics
are again building Republic Trucks on a peace H I
] basis. And they are building into every Republic
Ii Truck that vast experience gained through work
for the Government.
The new Republic models offer all the advan
tages of the 4-wheel drive truck—yet a much lower
operating cost. The Republic transmission and dif- I
ferential are responsible for this great achievement. g
Through these special devises both wheels are driv
ing units on every Republic Truck. When one I
wheel is stalled in snow or mud the other looses
pone of its traction but is able to draw the truck I |
out of its predicament. Every ounce of engine
power is transmitted direct to the wheels and at the * §
minimum cost. I
rv e -v Ppublic Truck has the Internal Gear
drive, which delivers twelve to twenty-six per cent,
mere of the motor power to the wheels than any
other form of drive.
1 These advantages coupled with the fact that the
| Republic comes in seven models from 3-4 ton to 5-
i ton capacity—any special body design adaptable to
the chassis—mean that the Republic Truck will not
* only be a money saver but a money maker in

"Y" secretaries of the feminine gen
der are being recruited and assigned
to duty as fasfas the choice of ap
plicants can be made. But since
there is an apparent shortage of girls,
enrollment cannot be fast enough to
meet the needs of the camps.
The new work of "Y" women "s
largely with returned troops now
in eleven camps and naval bases
in the Eastern Department. Eighty
eight Red Triangle girls are stationed
at these points, including Camps
Upton, Merritt, Mills, Dix, Peekskill
Rifle Range. Telham Bay, Camps
Stuart, Hill, Morrison in Virginia, and
the naval base at Hampton Roads,
Virginia.
At Camp Dee. "Y" girls are going
into the hospitals, an additional as
signment to their work in the Y.
M. C. A. buildings, of which there
are twenty-one. There they write
letters for the wounded and ill—
very often to their French sweet
hearts —tell their fortunes, distribute
fruit, postals, stamps and other
small luxuries, and amuse them how
ever they can. Camp Lee has twenty
women in "Y" service but more are
needed immediately.
And so the women of the Y. M. C.
A. are helping to make home more
than welcome to the A. E. F. as they
arrive from France. In order to make
the welcome still warmer, more wo
men must join the service. Mrs.
Charles P. Coleman at 2 West 43rd
street, will receive applications. Uni
forms. equipment, and board and liv
ing accommodations are furnished by
the "Y" and the minimum term of
service is three months.
War Won by American
Spirit, Says Ansell
Gen. S. T. Ansell, speaking before
members of the Washington Society
of Engineers at the Cosmos Club, de
clared that the decisive battle of the
war was the first engagement at Cha
teau Thierry when two divisions of
Americans held back the enemy and
the An)£rican spirit rallied the entire
I allied line from the North sea to
j Switzerland.
! "It was not the war machine and
j numbers that won," said Gen. Ansell,
| "but the spirit of the Americans,
: which was the most aggressive, the
I most exciting and the most spiritual
' thing of the whole war. At Chateau
[ Thierry two American divisions stood
their grounds, never intending to go
backward, and they never did go
back. It was their spirit that won
and took by surprise the Germans,
who knew they had encountered a
spirit which had not been counted
upon.
"That spirit ran up and down not
only the British army and the French
army, but the entire allied lines from
the. North sea to Switzerland.
"The American army had some
thing about it that was palpable—
you could see it it was thrilling,
it seemed impossible for an Ameri
can to be a coward with such spirit,
which was not that of bravado, but
serious. Their Americanism took
them to the battle line and held in
check a superior force of the best
professional troops of Germany and
overcame them.
Army in France achieved re
sults that were thought impossible
for any army so raised. England
did not think it could have been done
so soon and Gernmny did not think it
possible. Our Army was neither the
largest there nor was it the best
equipped, for what we most bragged
about equipment, etc. broke
down. However, we exceeded in
morale. What made this peculiar
Army, made up of different classes
from civilian life, was the spirit that
it took to Europe."
Gen. Ansell declared that the war
was one in which the contest was be
tween human beings and that the
best human being won. and not the
best equipped. He said that the spirit
dominating the people on the battle
field was involve/1 in the struggle.
Since the human element plays a
greater part in warfare than mere
mechanics, Gen. Ansell said that more
attention should be paid by the gov
ernment to development of this spirit,
not only at West Point, but also in
the United States Army.

FOR BIG TRACTORS

vate his land in 2-3 of the time it took
with a horse."
Perhaps these garden tractors will
get more attention than the trucks
It was predicted at the Show today.
It is the general opinion, so many
severe tests having been made, that
they will rapidly replace hand culti
vating, horse cultivating and all the
small power work done about a house
and farm. A feature for its success
is that it will cultivate any crop,
onions, carrots beets and all other
vegetables grown in narrow rows,
for it goes astride. But in culti
vating corn, potatoes, peas, beans,
tobacco, cotton, > berries, etc., it
travels between 'the rows.
The operator of one of these gar
den tractors walks behind and steers,
holding the handles as he would a
plow. The clutch is on one steering
handle and the throttle on the other,
and each is operated without taking
the hand oft the steering handle.
The thumb and forefinger of the right
hand work the throttle. the little
finger of the left hand will release
the clutch. This becomes second na
ture after the first two or three trials,
enabling the operator to devote all
his attention to the steering. A
slight lift on either handle will
swing the cultivator teeth to one
side, giving absolute control so that
a crooked row can be cultivated as
close as a straight one. The oper
ator has a clear view of the row, be
tween the steering handles. The
greenest man. or a boy can do a
perfect job of cultivating, regardless
of soil conditions.
The tractor manufacturers find
their surest advertisement in letters
from purchasers, of which thousands
now pour in, such as this one to a
well known manufacturer:
"Gentlemen:
"After being in the business of
' growing vegetables for the markets
lof St. Paul and Minneapolis for
thirty-four years, we have found an
i implement which was always needed,
but not to be had until now.
j "That machine is your tractor. Any
I kind of machine or wheel hoe will
! do fairly good work when the ground
is loose, but after heavy rains foi
| lowed by hot weather, it is impos
sible to break up the crust properly
with any hand machine, and as the
rows of onions and root crops are
too close together for a horse to be
' used, the gardener or truck farmer
was up against it and had to put up
l with a hand machine and a Job half
done and an inferior crop was the
result.
"In 1915, when your tractor was
brought out to our place, and when
it was still in the experimental stage,
It did better work than anything
ever tried in our field, because it
"had the power" in it.
"I wanted one of the tractors at
that time, but you would not sell to
any one then you said, as the ma-
f chine was not perfected enough to put
lon the market. Tho next year, 1916,
I you were out to our place again
I with the tractor greatly Improved,
1 and it did better work than ever.
but you still refused to sell to any
, one.
| "This year, 1917, aftej using the
. tractor the entire season, and doing
all our wheel hoeing with It in rows
from 15 inches npart to rows 3 feet.
I can truthfully say that there is
nothing more to be desired in a gar
den cultivator
"It has been in use ever since we
received it, weather permitting.
"Our onions are in rows 12 inches
! apart. The tractor works in these
I onion rows, cultivates as near the
plants as it is possible with a hand
wheel hoe and does as thorough a
Job with one operation as could be
done by going over the ground three
, times with a hand wheel hoe. It
| will cultivate any vegetable crop
grown on a truck farm and does
i away with the head land required for
i a horse to turn on.
'lt never goes on a strike for more
pay, or shorter hours, hut is always
ready for work."

Kaiser Pours Wine
on General as "Joke"
Ix>ndon, (Correspondence of tho
Associated Press.)— The imperial man
ners of former Kaiser Wilhelm, an ex
ample of his royal Jokes and the stolid
servility with which his officers endured
them in pre-war times, was disclosed
recently in an article by Johannes Fls
chart In the German publication Welt
buehne.
In July, 1901, relates Fischart, the
Emperor was on board the cruiser
Nymphe to watch the yacht races of
the Kiel regatta. In one of the in
tervals he went into the captain's deck
cabin to sign some state papers placed
before him by Admiral von Tirpitz.
The Kaiser remarked to another admiral
standing near: "Tirpitz is a bore with
his documents: I should prefer a glass
of champagne."
"At your service, Majesty," replied
the other admiral, who rushed headlong
to bring, a glass of champagne. Wilhelm
drank half the wine, then went on the
bridge, beneath which were General von
Hahnke and the officrs of his brilliant
suit. Hahnke," shouted the Emperor,
you would like some champagne, too,"
and as the general turned his face up-'
ward to reply, Wilhelm poured the re
mainder of his own glass over General
Hahnke. "Majesty is too gracious,"
was General Hahnke's manly retort to
this insult, while the remaining officers
of the imperial suite roared with laugh
ter at the imperial joke.
Wilhelm returned to the deck cabin
and demanded something to eat. The
admiral rushed to fetch caviar sand
wiches. Taking one of these, Wilhelm
removed the butter and caviar with
his forefinger, which he then licked
clean, and emerging once more upon
the bridge, shouted: "Hahnke, you would
like some caviar sandwiches I am sure "
As General Hahnke looked up to mur
mur his thanks, Wilhelm threw the rem
nant of bread in his face. Again Gen
eral Hahnke, with a courtly bow re
plied: "Majesty is too gracious."
