were losing heart. that they had
been compelled to put their old men
and young boys in the firing line
and always conveying the impression
that ultimate victory was foregone
conclusion. Not until March was a
single newspaper correspondent per-
lmitted at the front, and even then
they were not allowed to tell the
whole truth.
No wonder enlisfments were slow.
The fact that Lord Kitchener was
able to enroll more than two million.
volunteers in this period is sure proof
of the latent spirit Of patriotism in
the British public. But there was
no enthusiasm such as had been
aroused in Germany by the first-hand
stories from the trenches told by cor
respondents who were permitted to
go practically wherever they chose
and to write pretty much what they
liked.
Have Been Criticized.
The working men Of the nation
have been severely citicized for their
failure. to appreciate the gravity of
the situatton-f for their strikes, their
slackness, and their alleged over-in-
dulgence in liquor. The fact is they
did not understand because they
were not told. So far as they knew
1 victory was assured anyhow. They
went along much the same as In
peace times, and when they had rea-
son to believe that their employers
were taking advantage of them, they
struck. They didn't speed up, either
because they didn't regard it neces-
sary or because it was their employ
ers and not they themselves who
would profit. As to the charge of
wholesale drunkenness, the mere fact
thxt the. government quickly aban-
doned its proposed drastic temperance
measure is sufficient answer.
But now it is no longer Kitchen
er's war;" it is the Empires.
Lloyd George has told not only the
| workingmen but the entire nation the
truth. And the most striking illus
tration of the British workingman's
willingness to help the Empire in its
great need is the fact that, although
it was Lloyd GGeorge himself who
first accused him of slackness and
drunkenness, the recruiting of his
new Munitions Army started with an
everage enlistment of 10000 per day.
If Industrial conscription should
become desirable, there need be no
fear of Industrial revolution. Said
Lord Milner in the House of Lords
the other day: ''There is an idea
that organized labor will resent be-
ing commandeered for the service of
the State. That is just what it will
not resent. If we are ordered to
| work for England heard some typi-
cal representatives of working class
opinion say the other day, we will
obey The only trouble has been
that so many workingmen have fear
ed that their labor would not simply
be requisitioned for the defense of the
country, but exploited for the benefit
Of individuals. "The government
has guaranteed that there will be no
exploitation, and that guarantee has
been signed by Lobor's own represen-
tative in the new Cabinet, Arthur
Henderson, and by it's various leaders
in the House of Commons.
This spirit of anti-down-hearted-
ness is general in England today.

thy among the lower classes has CIV

NEW .FEE.sPLlTTiws law.

NEW FEE-SPll1IiN ms LAW.
In 1913. following considerable dis
cussion Of the fee-splitting evil, the
Wisconsin legislature passed law
making it fraud for a surgeon to OF
fer or to ray commission for SURG
ical patients referred to him. No PEN
atty was imposed by this law on the
receiver Of the commission. An
amendment recently passed by the
present legislature provides that amy
physician or surgeon who shall
y demand, receive or retain any
money or other consideration directly
or indirectly from the physician or
surgeon treating or operating on the
patient so induced or advised shall De
guilty Of criminal fraud" The Fen
atty for either giving or receiving
commission for surgical cases is fine
or imprisonment, while conviction IS
made an automatic annulment OF the
license to practice. The Journal Of
the American Medical Association
thinks that the law as amended
should be broad enough and strong
enough to put stop to whatever fee

those who have brought on indiges-

this reliable remedy.
Mi-o-na comes in tablet form and Is

| In the September American Maya
zine Stanley Johnson begins a series
| of articles entitled, Youth Leads the
| Way in which he will report many
inew and wonderful facts about the
developments in agriculture recently
made in this country by boys and
girls. A suggestion of the tremendous
contributions made by the youth OF
America is to be found in the follow.
ing brief extract taken from Mr.. John
sons article:
Twelve hundred boys in the sum
mer OF 1914 added s20,000.000 to the
productive wealth of the state OF
Ohio. This was their response to the
call for help. They were the corn
club boys of the Buckeye state. They
raised the average yield of corn per
acre from 35 bushels to 81, a gain OF
$40 900, 900 a year to the state, says
A. P. Sandles, president of the ONO
agricultural commission.
81 have chosen this instance be-
cause it. illustrates the need of help,
the awakening. and the way the Deo-
pie of Ohio showed their appreciation.
The business men of the state went
deem into their pockets and sent the
entire twelve hundred boys to Wash
ington, to New York City. and later
gave them trip to the big Panama
show at San Francisco Young Ar
nett Rose of Lima won the honor OF
being the boy champion corn grower
OF Ohio, two years in succession, rails
ing 131 bushels on an acre in 1913,
and 153 bushels in 1914. But the
Ohio people understood that it was
the entire twelve hundred boys who
deserved their gratitude
There was a real need for this
help. The corn crop of Ohio dimin-
:shed 2S.00a.000 bushels between 1912
and 1913. That is very grave loss.
Ohio's greater population still lives in
the country-and her rural population
embraces one-twentieth OF that Of the
republic.
But Ohio is not alone in this eco
nomic affliction: it is nationwide.
And the young generation, between
the ages of ten and eighteen. in an
characterization, splendidly organic
ed club movement. under the direc-
ton OF the United States department
of agriculture. is going to pull the
country up and out of its dilemma. "

Eve has long insisted that large

Quiet b,,t active preparations are be-
ing made by democratic leaders in
congress to revise the Underwood
tariff, law. which they appreciate. al
though they will not admit IT, Is
hopeless failure both as protection
measure and as a revenue producer.
The excuse given for revising the
more radical reductions made by the
Underwood law will be the need OF In
creased revenue. The deficit for this
fiscal year beginning July i, exclu-
sive Of expenditures for the Panama

a deficit OF 100000 for the same

there, American labor would have
faced starvation because of lack Of
emnIoyment Sooner or later the ter.
rible conflict must come to an end
and the millions Of soldiers will re-
turn to their normal occupations.
Should this country then be found
with no protection other than is af-

APPLE TINE.


Along about this time o'year,
About a thousand miles from here,
There is a place where all around
Are apples layin' on the ground;
And any man can drive from town
Most any day and can get down
And load his wagon to the seat
With apples that a king would eat;
And the farmer will tell him then:
No. not a penny! Call again.
That memory appeals to me
A load of dead-ripe apples free.
4 The farmers busy with his crops
And don't care for the fruit that
rs drops:
1 used to love to tramp out far
To where those rosy apples are,
And tuck those rosy apples in
Till cider dripped off my chin,
And mother would be scared at night
For fear I'd lost my appetite.
Them was the days Of long ago
When apple blossoms used to blow
Across my path, and would be
Acquainted with each apple tree.
And figure up the seasons eats;
And watch the tree of golden sweets
That every farmer has. -and sigh
For the days comm by and by,
When he would let me load up at
Most every tree exceptin' that.
Them was the apples that we hooked
Whenever that there farmer looked
Tie other way, then we would fill
Our shirts with golden-sweets until
We was as round as balloon.
Talk not to me of days of June!
Twas when the suns of August days
Shone bright and warm across our
ways
That used to mean the most to me.
OF all the DAYS that used to be-
