It will bring home | to cach and every man taxed the're- | sponsibilities he justly owes to the land in which he lives. A just tax, a fair tax, will be likewise an incen- tive to patriotism. “THE HOE BEHIND THE FLAG.” Next Sunday morning a group of twenty-four girls of Rosemary Hall, Greenwich, will shoulder hoes and start forth to plant potatoes. On Sat- urday they will be taught by a com- petent agriculturalist how to pare po- tatoes, da¥ing the eyes, so- that & goodly portion of the potato is left for | planting. Armed with these seeds they | will go, ahout their work of helping | Uncle Sam consgrve the food supply of ! the nation. Other seminaries in Con- necticut may be expected to follow the example set by the girls of this Green- wich school. They are to devote their own holiday time to the work. It is a significant fact that the wo- men of the nation have always served best when called upon to do the work usually allotted to men. While their brothers are at the front fighting the | good women of the nation will attend ! to the many wants of the populace, f especially in providing foodstuffs., The { small garden will be best supervised by { the women folk. The men who under- | take ty plant a garden may be expects ed to lose interest in the trying days { of cultivation. Not so with the wo- | men. Patience is their especial virtue. In }.eeplng with the work started b; the 'girle of Greenwich, housewives may lénd a helping hand by paring po- may - be utilized as seeds. In New York the Mayor’s Committee on Food Gardens has sent an appeal to all housewives to save potato parings for seed. If & litfle thicker slice should be taken un- der each eve of the vegetable a very fair quality of seed may be secured. In this way the shortage of potato seed which exists now may be relieved to some extent. Before plulmng can be done on a large scale there must be the necessary seeds to plant. Here is a chance for many to do their bit. The hoe is as valuable as the gun. A SUGGESTION, All England is incensed because Germany on Saturday torpedaed two| hospital ships, sending to watery graves men who were physically un- able to take care of themselves. England should by this time be immune from horror over the things Germany does and is liable to do. Innocent non-combatants and wound- ed soldiers all come in the same class, On the two last hospital ships attacked by German submarines there happened to be some eighteen or twenty Ger- man prisoners who, because of serious wounds or illness, were being attended by English nurses. That should %sug- gest an idea to the English.” One hos- pital ship carrying British colors should be completely filled with Ger- man wounded pofficers captive in England. The word should then be gent abroad that th@l had been done, not letting it be known which hospital ship carries such a precious cargo. Then, if the Germans insist upon dinking hospital ships they might very readily be guilty of killing their own sons. Their own people would then be shown the barbarity of the sub- I marine attacks on hospital ships. FIGHTING OUR 'BATTLES, administration heartily in waging war on German autocracy. In an- nouncing yesterday that he will vote for universal military service and i training the scnior Senator from this state said: . “I can sce no peace for us or anyone else until the present war is ended in, the way we would have it end, and if I am right about this it is high time we assisted thosa who are fighting our battles.” .The men who are fighting our battles at present are the men who are in the l"ltrenchu of Europe, the men of the French, thé' English, the Russian, and | the Italian armies. = Our own men have not yet been mustercd for the ser- vice to which they must inevitably re- spond. The debate in Congreess is waged with all the fury of a battle, but so far it has gotten nowhere. Those who arc opposed to the Presi- dent's idea of selective draft have built up a bulwark that will be diffi- volunteering must be killed if .the nation is to wage war in keeping with its past history. The results fl' volun- teering to date are extremely dis- appointing. Speaker Clark in declar- ing himself against the Administra- tion’s Army bill said: “T am for letting the flower and youth of \this people are in favor of any just war| Senator McLean is supporting the | cult to hammer down; yet the idea of | NEW BRIVAIN DAILY HERALD WEDNESDAY, APRIL 25, 1017, the disgrace of a draft upon them.” Jt is for the purpose of protecting the flower and youth'aof this country that the draft would be fastened upol them, not as a disgrace.. The flower and youth of the country may always be expected to respond to the call. The slackers and shirkers, all of military age, are the omes who will stand by and watch the flower and youth go out to battle. As Senator McLean points out, it is high time we assisted those who are fighting our battles, and, it may be added, those who will fight our battles.
