Recognizing the need of the appeal which has been made by the president and which has been echoed from one end of the country to the other that evervone should do his part in the cultivation of land for the purpose of contributing to the food supplies of the country, there are many indica- A tionls which warrant the belief that there will be a widespread response, that agricuituralists will make great- er efforts than cver, that those who ave property will zet busy with the spade and the hoe, that backyard sar- dens will flourish as never before and that there will be a groater interest in tiling the soil than the country has previously witnessed. The coun- try is alive to the need of just such work and there is a widespread ap- Preciation of the economic value con- nected therewith But with this promise of such in creased activity, attention is being called to the fact that sreater efforts must be made this year for the pro- tection of these same crops from those who make a practice every vear of raiding farms and zardens, not solely for their own table use but for the purpose of marketing their loot. This of course applies particularly to the gardens and farms which are located in or near.cities. No one wants to put his time and offort into raising Pproduce only to have it stolen and it ought to be set forth at the start that any and all who are caught in such night raiding aro entitled to and wili Ket no leniency. There is no reason for the tolers jon of such practice at Any timo but this will be particularly true during the coming summer. The rFalsers of crops of any kind must have full protection. THE ALLIES' ACCOMPLISHMENTS. No better demonstration of the man. ner In which the allied nations real- ised the problem which they faced In the opening of the war and responded to It could have becn asked for than has been furnished In the checking of the operations “of the enemy. Con- “trary to the position of the central Powers which had for years been pro- paring for the greatest war in the his- ory of the world the entente nations Were far from being in a position to meet them. It was necessary for them, eapecially England to organize their rces, both military and Industrial. nders were made in so doing and time was required to develop an army Which could be put into action to meat & jarze and well trained opposition. Time was thus dne of the great al- lies of the entente and they were to make tha most of it, but how Well they have done so ja now being manifested In the tremendous efforts which are being put forth along .the Western line’ Germany eypected to sirike quick and’ to conquér by tak- ing first one of the allies and then an- gther, but it was foiled in the attempt #nd the time has now arrived when By concerted action the allies are ready to strike their blow. and from the Suceess during the past few months especially in the last two weeks on the run. S Germany has demonstrated that it Jbad a great war machine, but «onsid- e the time which it had to develop and that which has been used by allies it is impossible to deny the :::m full and greater credit for masterly accomplishments. THE JEWS AND RUSSIA. Tt _is one of the most natural things in world that the Jews should be deeply interested not only in the W of the czar and the Roman- ot control in Russia but in the suc- of the new government. The 3 have experienced untold hard- |4 jn that country. They have.not g Dbeen subjected to unjustified re- s but they have been crush- | and terrorized by massacres and le cruelties. Life has béen made le for them and it was the in- Mpon the respect for those TOO MANY FIRES. When Insurance Commissioner Mansfield in his annual report declares that there are too many fires in this state he reiterates what has Meen claimed time and again. But what is true of Connectlcut is equally true of many other states and no better eyidence of it can be furnished than by the comparison of the losses which take place in this country and those in Burope. In this respect as in many others, this country has much to learn from the countries across the water. But: there are instances in this coun- try where profitable lessons can be learned as is indicated by the commis- sioner’s statement to the effect that Connecticut has a considerably higher percentage of fires from strictly pre- ventable causes than either New York or Massachusetts, our neighboring states. This means that while much is be- ing done in the way of educating the public in fire prevention, of encourag- ing fireproof construction and of re- ducing the great waste that results from fires, there is still plenty of op- portunity for extending it. and it is to be gathered from such a claim that those who are in a position to do the most towards the prevention of fircs are not making the proper response to the efforts that are beinz put forward. There can be no_question but what the movement for fire prevention has accomplished appreciable results. It has awakened the people to some r- alization of what can be done and how they can make valuable contr butions thereto, but with Connecticut having still too many fires there can be no relaxation of the prevention ef- forts. Rather does it show why they should -be increased. A REBUKE TO LAFOLLETTE. It may be that those twelve senators who stood out against action by the last gession of conzress which would have given the president authority to proceed with such measures as were necessary for the protection of Ameri- can rights feel that they were carry- ing out the sentiments of their con- stituents. A number of them have already received plenty' of expressions to convince them to the contrary and others unquestionably will before or when the time comes for the voters to 80 to the ballot box azain to express their preference for them or some other representatives in the upper house of congress. It is mot likely that their respective states will forge: how they facted when the country was facing its greatest crisis. This has without doubt been brousht home to LaFollette in a point- ed manner by the recent election which took place In Wisconsin for the selec- tion of a member of the legislature to Al a vacancy caused by death. It was a strong republican district and the republican nominee was not only popular but he had had legisiative cx- perlence and 1t was generally agreed that he was a strong man in his par- ty. His one weakness, however, was that he was an ardent supporter of La Follette, while his democratic oppo- nent based his campalsn upon the fact that he stood solidly behind the presi- dent and his policy. The victory of the democrat tells its own story. National affairs were projected into an election which concernsd only a small part of the stato but the LaFol- lettelsm ‘of the republican candidate was the cause of his undoing. and even that result cannot fail to cast its shadow before. EDITORIAL NOTES. Every little rain storm is most heartily welcomed by those who are suffering from an overabundance of dust. The man on the corner says: The man who savs he is neutral when his country is at war is a friend of the enemy. The kaiser is probably wondering who therell be to send him a post- card when his next anniversary rolls around. The seven billion dollar credit hav- ing been voted it is up to the nation to show by its response in raising the amount that it doesn’t do things half way. With the American flag carried at Vimy Ridge and in the air batties in France, this country is playing a small part thus early In Germany's strategic retrea The allled successes make it appar- ent that the central powers will soon wake up and realize that they have been looking at their enemies throush the wrong end of the telescope. Germany claims to have put forth its submarine campaign for the pur- pose of winning the war, but the in- dications are already apparent that it is going to prove its undoing. ‘With the Germans losing over 24, 009 men as prisoners in less than a week the extent of the allied opera- tions on the western front cannot be looked upon as of little significance. If the shipbuilding programme which this government has arranged can be carrfed out, the country rests assured that the proper selection was made when General Goethals was chosen for the task. ~ The suggestion that the six hun- dred odd million bushels of grain that goes into.the manufacture of Intoxi- cants each year be used for foodstuffs ought to strike a responsive chord in the bone-dry states. . “I hear that your granddaughter is going to be married,” remarked the young woman. 4 “Yes, "agreed the nicce old lady ly. “Sarah is to marry—and fine young man!” “Yes, indeed! the young woman £aid rather absently. “Oh, do you know Morton?" delight- edly asked the nice old lady. “Then I don’t suppose there is a bit of use in my saying anything more about him! Any one who is acquainted with Mor- ton—how long have you known him?” “Oh! temporized the young woman. “f dom’t exactly know him, but, of course——"" “My dear,” said the 0ld lady, hitch- her chair nearer, “I don't when I've meant a young man like Eim! He is absolutely perfect and ‘without a single fault! 1" gasped the young we- re she could restrain herself! - w awful!™ “What?" asked the old ly. “I don’t hear so well as I used to! I was speaking of that hat over there,” hurriedly explained the young woman. “You were saying?” “Now, I abominate a man why smokes,” went on the old lady. “It Is 4n expensive and disgusting habit, and 1 told Morton so quite plainly. I eould #See by the way he listened that I was presenting the matter to him in an entirely mew light, and when 1 had finished he said he never had heard such a clear argument against Lhe vice and that he certainly should use it himself whenever he spoke om the subject, because he said he agreed with me perfectly. Smoking was a dreadful habit and I was entirely right! “I said: ‘Morton, yof don’t know how pleased I am—but will you ev- plain to me why it is that whenever you come into the room I can detect the dreadful odor of cigarettes and tobacco most plainly? And I am sure I saw you laying down a box of nea‘'y wrapped cigars with your overcoat the other night.” “Morton said he was awfully glad I bad asked him right out, because he ‘wouldn’t for the world have me mus- judging him. The box of cigars were some that his father had asked him to oring home, and, as for the odor of tobacco, he said the way the fellows at the club smoked the air was biue and everything within a block was filled with the smoke, and, really, he thought he should be obliged to re- sign. “I was so glad that Morton clearcd +he matter as he did, for I had been worried. He doesn't play cards for money or touch a drop of iiquor, cither! I felt just as strongly about those vices as about smoking, -and I sald so freely to Morton. I told him that T certainly would do all I could to prevent a grandchild of mine throwing herself away on a young mar who gambled and drank. I was sure that I had heard Morton and Sarah’s brother discussing something they bridge at a quarter of a cent a point and 1 _was worried. Morton loviked real grieved.

Arras—“The battle of Arras, which promises to rank in history as one of the pivotal clashes of the World War, takes Its name from one of the most interesting of the smaller cities of northern Fra says a war geos vaphy bulletin issucd today from the Washington headquarters of the Na- onal Geographic Soclety. “Situa. the canalized River Scarpe, lalles north of Paris and_ 97 imites south of Drussels via the French orthern Railway, It is the chief fow of the department of Pas-de-Cala and before the war was the most ir. vortant grain market in northern France. Amiens is 38 miles by rail to the southwest, and Calais S2 milex to the northwest. The surrounding fertile plain, with ti.e ridge some six miles to 1%e north. The history of Arras dates back beyond the Christlan era when it was the chief town of a Gallic tribe knowr as Atrebates. It was then known s Nemetacum or Nemetocenna, but its present name is derived from that of the tribe. Traces of the Roman per- od have been found here but the Vandals, who destroyed the place at the beginning of the 5th century, did their work of obliteration almost <o: pletely. The manufacture of woolens was_introduced here at an early date, however, and_the town began to thrive ugain. For some centuries this was one of the centers of _tapesiry and in England the term led to all richly on 1180 and the instrument was adopt- ed as a model by many of the neigr- bering communes. But this document Qid not protect the cit§ against the ravages of hostile armies which swent back and forth over this fertile region throughout the middie ages. On- one vecasion the citizens rose against the garrison which _had been installed there by Louis XL ‘They succeeded in driving out the soldiers of the French king, but their victory was short-lived, for the irate monarch sent a larger army against them, raxed the wails, slew many of the inhabitants and le- ported the remainder, sending French- men from other parts of his domain to occupy the town whose very rname was changed to Franchise. Louis' successor, Charles VIII, restored the place to its people and rechristened it Arras. Sometime thereafter it pass- ©d into German hands by the treaty of Senlis but in 1640 was restored to the French. * “During the French Revolution Ar- ras suffered grievously, thanks to tho cruelty of her native on, Josaph Tebon, who organized and directeq the Reign of Terror here. Maximilier Robesplerre and his younger brother Augustin were aiso born in this city. 1t is interesting to recall, in view of his subsequent sanguinary a member of the Commune Committee of Public Safety, responsi- ble for converting the streets of Papis into rivers of blood fed by the guillo- tine, that as a young man Robespierre resigned his office as criminal judge in Arras rather than sentence a zui'ty man to death. “Tapestries are no longer woven in IArl'll. but the city was a thriving in- Gustrial community at the outbresk of the war, its chief articles of manufac- ture being hosiery, iron ware, oll pro- ducts, beet sugar, and agricultural im- Plements. 14 “In the Petite Place and the Grand Place Arras boasts some curious arch- itectural relics of the period of Span- ish occupation in the 17th century— house of hewn stone whose upper stories project beyond the foundation walls and are supported by pillars which form arcades over the side- walks. Beneath the streets are huge cellars or magazines which were orir- inally quarries.

Thinning. It is better to have one strong plant than several weak, _spindling ones, says today’s bulletin from the Nationai Emergency Food arden Commissjon. of Washington, which is cooperating with this paper in urging food garden planting to cut the cost of living. That means thorough thinning _in the young rows, continues the buile- tin. “Seeds of most plants are sown more thickly than the plants shou'd grow. This is because not all seeds have the germ of life within them, and it is desirable to plant a surpius 50 as to insure a sufficient number of plants. But when these plants, often com- ing up thickly together, are big enouch t0 take hold of, they should be thinned out severely. It may seem heartless %0 destroy many good plants, but those remaining will give a greater crop of a better quality than all the plants would produce if left to grow. Thin enough so that the roots of every plant have plenty of room to spread out and seek the plant food in the soll. By having the monopoly of all the food within its littie area, the plant will grow vigorously. This explains why it is jmportant fo keep out all weeds which attempt to share nis plant food with the valuable veg- etable. When the plants come up, if the seed has been sown thickly there will be numerous thick bunches of plants to- gether. In thinning it is usvally bet- ter to pull out the plants in the ®cn- ters of these bunches. Ordinarily leave the best plants 1nd pull the weaker ones, but this plan may have to be modified occasioaali to insure sufficlent. spacing between plants. Each plant to thrive must have enough room to grow in.

This permission applies simply to plants as above stated, and does not apply to any other articles of mer- chandise. I am informed that these plants cannot be kept Inside of the stores, for either they become crooked or twisted in seeking the light, or dry up for lack of the outside uir and moisture, or both. This fact, coupled with the need above mentioned, leads ne to permit this exception in the en- forcement of the ordinance against ob- structing the sidewalk of the City. This letter is written to you for your information and that there may be no misconception upon the part of anvone as to the extent of the permission granted. Yours truly, GEORGE E.

What percentage does that figure as between us?

He has not in. formed us whether he uses his famou: 3 or 4 generations of sea captain saflor's jog in his election and war forecasts, but if it gets down to ‘ce coated trees, fences and wires” prob- ably he does. But however he guesses he misses about niné times in ten. He predicted Wilson “of the single track mind” would be defeated in 1912. In 1916 he guessed Hughes would be the next president, that four years of Wil- son were far more than the people wanted. And he has ever predictéd the Germans wiil win in the present awful war. He guessed Southerner, with whom he had discussion in your columns to be a man. I wonder if he could when a new baby comes, gues: in two guesses whether it is a boy or girl.

OTHER VIEW ‘POINTS If the“land of Fairfield county is to be mobilized for crops, seed and fer- tilizer should be mobilized at an early date. A cornered seed supply, and a fertilizer market held for inordinate prices will do much to discourage that generous earth tickling which every body se much desires.
