It Is, ourse, inconeetvable that & man make the journey for one loaf . At any rate, the differenge p cents in price between bread and bread in Windsor :s must have the attemtion of federal agents in this country- ‘The reason for such ,a discrepancy can only be attributed to one thing: Can- ede has a Food Control Commission acting under rigid food laws. The United States has not. This illustration advanced by Mr. Gompers should have far reaching effect upon the national legislators at Washington. For some time past the people of America have faced the high cost of living. For some time past they have been threatened with even a higher cost of living. Prices have steadily gone upward instead of downward. The case of Detroit and ‘Windsor points to an injustice worked upon those who live in this land. As has already been pointed out, there is not much difference between conditions surrounding the two cities. It is not likely that a barrel of flour costs any more in Detroit than in Windsor. It is not probable that freight rates be- tween ‘any shipping center and these two. places would greatly vary. It is not possible that bakers have to pay more rent in Detroit than in Windsog. Why then the four cents difference In the price of a loaf of bread? This 18 a question that every city in the United States would like to have an- swered; especially those Eastern cities that must_pay 15 cents for the same kind of bread that sells for 13 cents in Detroit. 2 SOME THINGS LINCOLN SAID. Two principles have stood face to face from the beginning of time, and will ever continue to struggle. The one is the common right ‘of humaaity, the other is the divine right of kings. Let us at all times remember that all American citizens are brothers of a common country. ‘We mean to be as deliberate and calm as it is possible to be; but as firm and rescived as it is passible for en to be. 2 Let us have faith that right makes right. I shall, to the best of my ability, repel force by force. I hope peace will come soon, and come to stay; and so come as to be worth the keeping in all future time. Give us a little more light, and .a little less noise, ¢ ¢ > He sticks through thick and thin,— I admire such a man. i The occasion is piled high with dificulty, and we must rise ta the occasion. The Almighty has His own. pur- poses. ‘With malice toward none; with charity for all; with firmness in the right, as God gives us to see the right, let us strive on to finish’ the work we are in. There were printed in the' Herald yesterday the names of young men between the ages of twenty-one and thirty-one who answered to the Se- lective Service law from the sixth ward. There were eight columns of these names, and yet all who stepped up to the booths in the “fighting sixth” were not numbered on the roll of honor. The names which were omitted because of lack of space will be printed today together with the names of other patriots from the fourth ward. As the registrars com- plete their work of compilation the Herald will print the lists submitted to this office by the board of regis- tration. In due time the names of all the young men in New Britain of military age will be presented to the public,—both those who have offered their services and those who have failed to live up to the require- ments of the law. .The slackers and shirkers will be placarted all over the city. The Attorney General of the United States has’issued an or- der to his various assistants through- out the country to prosecute all those who wilfully failed or otherwise neg- lected to register at the time ap- pointed. Following this edict, the officials of New Britain will be forced to bring these evaders to bay. What punishment shall be meted out to them will be “determined after the hearing of the cases. The penalty is a term in the jdil or penitentiary. There is no fine. The names of the gallant young men who offered their services stand as a mockery to the cowards who held back. In justice to the patriotic youth of the nation e shirkers must be rounded up and punished: The burden of war must be equally distributed. Two notable cathedrals in Hamburg have been divested of their famous chimes which have been seized under a general order expropriating all German church bells to be made into cannon. At any rate, the people of Hamburg will hereafter be able to sleep over on Sunday mornings, Spain has for its minister of foreign affairs Marquis de Lema. But that ‘has nothing to' do with Spain's di- lemma in remaining neutral. The last gong has sounded for the “Liberty Loan” of 1917; all the pa- triots got in under the yive, (Ernest C.

The lifeless dregs of books which their distilling left we now call gram- mar, and study instead of books and even speech itself. In their lowest depth of indifference to the moving, passing life of man not even the Aléxandrians sink so low as that. INVEST $800 IN BONDS. It was announced today that 16eal employes of the Armour company had bought “Liberty Bonds” to the amount of about $800. There are ten employes in the New Britain branch. Payments for the bonds will be made under a plan autnorized by the Armour headquarters, by which each man will receive four per cent. upon any money paid in to apply on the final payment for the bonds until the total amount has been collected when the bonds will be delivered ta the: SELF HELPS FOR NEW SOLDIERS ~ SOON TO BE CALLED INTO FIELD Advice By United States Army Eligible For Service n DISPOSITION OF OUTPOST TROOPS. A column on the march is preceded and covered by a detachment known 38 the Advance Guard. The strength of - the Advance Guard varies from one-third to one-twentieth of the main ‘body, depending upon the size of the main body, and the character of ‘service expected of the Advance Guard. An Advance Guard as large as a Battullo::gflr more is primarily divided into e Reserve .and Sup- port. The division in strength is usually, Reserve, two companies, Support two Companies; the Advance Party, from three to, eight Squads—about half a company—sent forward from the Support; and the Point, a Non- commissioned officer and three or four men sent forward from the Ad- vance. Party. The Advance Guard is also responsible for the -reconnais- sance of the country upon both sides of the line of march, and this is ef- fected by Patrols sent. out by ' the leading! sub-divisions of the Advance Guard. The disposition of Outpost troops follows the principle of the distribu- tion of the Advance Guard to the extent that it consists of the Reserve, the line of Supports and the line of guards. There is no' uniformity 'of " distance between thgse different parts, since the problem of keeping in contact and guarding the avenues- of approach will to a large extent govern their positions. The Reserve constitutes the main body of the Outpost. ‘It is located at some central point from which it can readily both supportfthe troops in front and serve as a rallying posi- tion upon which the Outguards and Support may retire if strongly pressed | NE Autoblography of & Super Tramp, by ‘W.

The Reserve, which may comprise from one-fourth to two-thirds the strength of the Out- post, may be ommitted if the Out- post consists of less than two com- panies. The Supports, constituting a line of supporting and resisting detachments, i may in size from half a Com- pany to a Battalion. o The Supports furnish the line of’ Outguards. The Outguards constitute a line of small detachments furthest to the Front and nearest to - the enemy. They may be classified as Pickets, Sentry Squads—though not éxceeding half a Company—which is posted on the line of Outguards to cover a given sector. It furnishes pa- trols, one or more sentinels, sentry Squads or Cossack Posts for Observa- tion. 3 A Sentry Squad is a Squad posted in observation at an indicated point. A Cossack Post consists of four men. It is an observation group similar to a Sentry Squad, but employs only a single Sentinel. Sentinels arp gen- erally used singly in the daytime, but double at night. Patrols or Sentin- els must be the first troops which the enemy meets and each body in the rear should have time to prepare for the blow. ' When he once understands the principle of Outpost, Advance Guard; or Patrol duty, it is infinitely easier r the Young Soldier to proceed in- telligently, since he then appreciates the relation of what he is called upon to do to the safety of the command as a whole.

THE NEED OF THE HOUR ‘Wake Up, America. !temywti Watch Out for an Invasion. Yesterday in conversation with a native-born American citizen, who should be loyal to the Union, he ex- pressed the opinion that there has not been, and is not now, any possibility of German forces invading this coun- try; turther, that it is a foolish and wicked proceeding to send our young men to fight other nations’ batties on another, continent. His particular animus seems to be against England. He declares that she, our traditional enemy, has been.using all the influ- ence at her command to get the Unit- ed States Into this war, and, having succeeded, she will use us as a cats- paw to draw her chestnuts from the fire. ‘He places no credence in the humanitarian motives of any of the combatants opposed to the German combination and claims that one side is just as bad as the other. I quote the above opinions as an illustration of the false and distorted view of some who should he strong supporters of our country’s action, instead of crit- ics, to use an exceedingly mild term: Such utterances at the present time are both useless and dangerous. While the most of those who talk thus are not deliberate traitors to their coun- try's well-being, they do fail to realize that their words are disloyal to a course the maljority of the nation has elected to pursue; that their influence is harmful to the cavse of human lib- erty; that their argument persuades to the dishonorable action of some, who fail to understand the deep signifi- cance of our entrance into this world war. & We as a nation have entered this war for just and philanthropic rea- sons. There is now no possible way to retreat without the sacrifice of hon- or and manhood. If we fail to throw the whole weight of our resouroces into this struggle without unnecessary de- lay we are unworthy to enjoy the liberty won for us by our forefathers and fit only for slavery, to which we shall be) subjected if we bow before the might of German despotism.
