OF FRENCH CONSUL
M. Ferrand's Recruiting Activi-
ties in New Orleans Arouse
Much Criticism. -

Sensat ational activities of NJ. F. Fer
rand. the French consul general at New
Orleans, are likely to receive the at
tention Of the state Department
Tho consul general is displaying re-
markable zeal in his efforts to drive
not only Frenchmen of the French
colony at New Orleans to enlist in the
armies OF France, but also sons OF
Frenchmen born in this country.
In impassioned utterances, NJ. Fer
rand has denounced those who have re-
fused to enlist as TRAITORS" towards. -
and bats
Demand may be made for the recall
of NJ. Ferrand II the facts are shown
officially to be as reported. Many men
who are voters in this country are said
to have been denounced.
Here is a statement attributed to M.
Ferrand which has caused resentment
in New Orleans:
These men, who have proven them
selves towards and traitors to France,
may well be termed bats that ia, they
are always on the opposite sode of what
they appear to be. When they need
France they are Frenchmcn and loudly
proclaim their birthright. but when
France needs them they suddenly be-
come Americans.
I'VE of France understand the term
bat well; 1t is stigma that cannot be
applied to a real man. La Fontaine
wrote a fable about the bat which ex-
plains the illustration. See my wings;
I am a bird said the bat. Then clos
ing his rodent-like body he said, See my
feet; am a rat" That truthfully typi-
fees the Frenchmen in this city and
State, who have deserted France in her
hour Of need.
These men were birds. fitting about
with pride in the tri-colored flag OF
their republic. and singing the Mar
seillaise' when all was calm but when
France calls them they suddenly turn
to rats"

INCOME TAX RETURNS
Author Of Section Providing for
Levy Contradicts
PessimistS.

Congressman Cordell Hull. author OF
the income tax section OF the Under
wood tariff law. believes the returns
from the tax this year will total at least
100000. and If these returns mate
rialze they will rcfute claims that busi-
ness, depression would greatly reduce
tho income tax revenues of the Govern
ment.
The sum estimated by Mr.. Hhll Is only
$4,000 less than the original estimates
of the Internal Revenue Bureau. made
before the outbreak of the European
war.
Mr.. Hull's prediction regarding the
large income tax receipts was made
after a conference yesterday afternoon
with Commissioner Osborn and Deputy
Commissioner Speer. of the Internal
Revenue Bureau. The optimistic estl-
lnate of Mr.. Hull is understood to have
been based on preliminary reports which
nave reached the Treasury Department nt.

FOOD TO GROW IN
BACK YARDS OF CITY
international Child Welfare
League Plans to Raise vege-
tables in Idle Land.

NEW YORK. March 26.-Have you an
idle back yard?
If so, ask the home gardening COM
mjttce of the International Child We'll
fare League how to put 1t to practical
use.
Back yards are to be made fashion
able this spring, and they will repre-
sent popular pastime this coming sea-
son OF the poor and the rich alike, of
back yards, which have been the de-
spair of artists, reformers and health
boards, are to Hloom and prove of prac-
tical uses In a variety of ways this
summer.
In addition to interesting vast num-
bers of girls and boys in city farming.
through an the heated term, It is figured
that this activity will greatly reduce
the high cost OF living to thousands
OF families.
Those who are interested in this
movement present estimates of idle
plots of land in the environs of the
largest city i'm the country that arc ap-
back yards In Greater New York, it is
estimated, IL cultivated. to enable 25o,-
900 families to raise their own vege-
tables for the entire season. This num-
ber. It is pointed out. would represent
of five persons to a family.
$4,000 Vacant Lots.
At the same time the estimate rs
made of 194,000 vacant lots in Great
er New York. which, if turned into
vegetable gardens, would represent a
money value OF s1o.ooo.oO0. and at an
average Of 81 a week person spent
on green vegetables during the sea-
son would feed nearly half a million
people.
This big national movement, which
is interesting the rich and poor alike.
has already taken a bigshold on the
country, from the Atlantic to the Pa
cifc.
The first steps in planting these
gardens in connection with the public
schools will be taken this week in
Westchester county. The school
boards of dozen villages ami towns
in the county have arranged to supply
the instructor throughout the garden
season, and have arranged for the
back yards and the sort of vegetables
to be grown by the school children.

president of the International Child
Welfare League. "In addition to the
mutual working interest in these gar
dens between the rich and the poor
the former will cooperate to an even
greater extent by giving a large en-
tertainment and ball at the Hotel
Plaza for the beneft OF the garden
fund.
This season, with its adverse condi.
tions such as the problem of unem-
ployment and high cost of living. we
believe the benefit to A large number
of people from these gardens will be
great.
Our league became interested in
working out this plan through our
campaign against child labor. We
came to the conclusion that in add

T'rhis plan will give little children

on an eighth of an acre of land from
$50 to 500 worth of vegetables. At this
rate third OF the children of the city
schools of the country might easily pro-
ducc S2OOOoo.OOO q year. This plan in
full operation would probably do more
toward keeping your children out of the
factories and mills than all of the child
labor laws on the statute books. 4 boy
OF ten or twelve years of age, with a
quarter of an acre of land, working un-
der careful direction, can produce more
for the support OF the family than could
be purchased with the child's wages
from the mill.
Vegetables. berries, and fruits grown
should be used first as food for the
children and their families. Then the
surplus should be marketed.
