FEEDING THE GARDEN

You must feed the garden IL you
want the garden to feed you. The
virgin soil is not source OF plant
food, but rather container of plant
food, and after the first few crops
have been grown, it is very hard to
get out even such plant food as the
soil contains.
Plants must have balanced ration
If they are to grow naturally. They
eat and digest their food in certain
more or less fixed proportions and If
only one of the elements they need
is lacking, they cannot grow proper.

other foods that may be available.
Lack of decayed vegetable and ami
NAL matter will kill plants even tho
there be present enough potash and
phosphorus to last for all time. This
Is the trouble with sandy soils in most
cases.
II Your garden did not do as well
last year as 1t did before, or II your
neighbor has better garden on the
same kind of soil. 1t is up to you to
feed your garden this year and II this
is done wisely, your results will pay
you.
What most worn soils lack Is veg
etsble matter. Garden crops are
heavy feeders on organic matter and
the first thing to think of in the gar
den is barnyard manure. Usually
kitchen garden cannot get too much
well rotted manure. Manure is q nj

growth OF stalks and roots more than

On worn soils in the older sections
o fthe country the nitrogen Is not
the only element lacking and both
and potash must be sup

UNFIT FOR WAR,

REP. GARDNER DEMANDS NOM
PARTISAN INQUIRY TO DE.
sE TERMINE STATUS.
by Arthur Sears Hennig.)

Washington, d. c., Oct. 1.-THE
statement that the United States is
totally unprepared to defend itself
from foreign aggression was made in
/ the house of representatives today by
Representative Gardner Of Massachu.
sets, who recently returned from the
European war zone. Mr.. Gardner be.
lieves the United States may be called
upon to fight the victor of the conflict
now raging.
The remarks of Mr.. Gardner, in
which he took occasion to denounce
the propaganda of false pacificism dis
seminated by Andrew Carnegie, were
submitted in connection with a resolu-
ton he introduced calling for the crea.
ton OF a commission to report on the
condition of the existing defenses of
the republic and the measures neces.
sary to achieve adequate preparedness
for war.
Wants Non-Partisan lnvstiaation.
Like the resolution introduced by
Representative O'Hair of Illinois as a
result of the movement instituted by
The Chicago Tribune, the Gardner
measure proposes an investigation of
this vital question by a bipartisan
body consisting of three senators,
three representatives, and three pri.
vate citizens appointed by the presi.

In my opinion the effect of the
vast sums of money spent by Mr.. Car.

been to blind Americans to the fact
that our national security from a mill

forts strengthened, which proves that
an attack on Germany had been MIL
tated. The English had ammunybn
stored at Maubeuge, which proves &at
England had been expecting war,
The Germans had constructed in the
name of private individuals, concrete
platforms for their giant howitzers at
the proper points for bombarding the
! Maubeuge forts, which proves that
, they had expected to come that way.
The Russians modified with celebrity
which demonstrates that they had
been expecting trouble for months. AS
for the French, did not Gen. Joffre
visit Russia long before war broke
out? All these things are deeply sus-
picious. Taken together they go to
prove that more than one nation sus-
pected that there was trouble brewing.
The things alleged may or may not
have been done, but the accusations
are Illuminating as to the reign of ter
ror under which Europe has for years
past been living. Not in any case
does there appear the least sense
that the fact alleged might be sus-
ceptible of more than one interpreta-
ton, that precaution pointing toward
war might have been taken not as an
aggressive measure, but as a precau-
ton against feared aggression. The
truth is that war has steadily been in
vading peace, and the crucial import
ance of being prepared has been so
insisted upon that some of the precau-.>'
tons are such as might easily cause1
suspicion that an attack was being
prepared. How much this adds to the
difficulty of keeping the peace is OBJ

perior because OF allowing for more
rapid movement than the German of
the same caliber.
In rapid action the French have had
decidedly the advantage in this re-
spect. At any rate, the European war
has caused experts somewhat to re-
wise their opinion as to the value of
|. artillery, which had been considerably
less effective in other recent wars.
Artillery settled the battle of Mons
without any doubt.
Rests On The Infantry.
To come to infantry, on which the
ultimate decision in all wars rests, the
German fighting unit appears to be in
ferior to the English or French. He
fires without aiming and does not
make sufficient use, of cover. But
what the German infantryman lacks
individually is atoned for by the per-
feet discipline under which he and his
fellows act American tradition trusts
great deal to the individual, a relic,
no doubt, of frontier fighting. The
German theory trusts nothing, con-
siders it less important that commands
should be sacrificed through mistake
in their disposition than that they
should take it upon themselves to
override the orders of a superior.
Much has been said by newspaper
critics on the subject of close-order
fighting. America learned open order,
as well as the art of taking the best
advantage of cover, from the Indians.
And in the civil war the skirmish line
grew of more and more importance I'm
til 1t became the battle order.

GERMAN BIG GUNS
SURPRISE OF WAR
MILITARY EXPERTS AsTouNpED
AT MOBILITY OF HEAVY
ARTILLERY.

Washington, Oct. Speaking of
the Matte of Mons, an English officer,
who was one of the few survivors of
MS company, said to an American in
the field hospital at Amiens:
We thought the Germans were for.
ty years behind the times; they are
forty years ahead"
And, according to an American mil.
itary expert, there is a solid basis OF
truth in Tommy Atkins statement
The Germans apparently knew what
they were about, he thinks, when they
refused to generalize too much from
the Philippine, Boer, and Russo-Jap
anese wars.
Campaigning iii popuious country
with perfect road system and a lazy
atmosphere is quite different from
work in a crude open country distin
guished by dry clear air and sharp
horizon. Too little is yet known OF
the actual fighting in Europe for ac.
curate deductions, nevertheless. Ger.
tain facts are apparent which will
have their effect upon military prac.
tice in the United States.
Terrific Effect of Artillery.
The outstanding facts so far as no.
tlceable are the terrific effect of siege
artillery in the field, the weakness of
open order fighting when vast num-
Der OF men are available, the COM
parative failure of aeronautics as pic
tured in popular imagination, and the
immense advantage of thorough pre-
liminary training
Germany great surprise in this war
has been her artillery. The superiori.
ty OF her army organization was al
ready known to the world, and this
superiority and her perfect prepara.
ton were reckoned, and properly, her
greatest assets. 1t was also known
that she had eleven-inch howitizers
but they were supposed to be siege
guns to be used against concrete forts
and nothing else. AS such, they more
than surpassed expectations at Ma.
muir. But the mobility of these big
guns had not even been suspected nv
foreign critics, and their use as field
artillery came as a great shock to the
allies.
In the old days, artillery stood in
exposed positions, as the aim was ia.
ken directly at the enemy. Conse.
quentiy, 1t could be captured by infan-
Try and even cavalry. But now art,l.
