National Defense.
bennington Banner.)

Congressman Frank Greene in writ
ing to the Brooklyn Eagle puts him
self on record in favor of prompt ae-
tion to prepare this country to de
fend itself in case of need. He an
swers questions as to his reason for
a better defense system and a larger
army as follows: ......
1.-Inadequacy of our preparations
for national defense.
2.-In the court of last resort, yes,
reinforced by volunteers, of course.
3.-No; treaties are always neces-
sarily dictated by seIf-interest of ma
tions, and the selfinterest that is ac-
cemmodated by treaty compromises
today may outgrow them and. their
| limitations tomorrow. 1t is not al
ways question of bad faith, by any
means, although history has too Otter
| had to record the fragrant viola
tion of treaties. Washington dwelt
upon one phase of the subject in hi.
Farewell Address when he said.
I"FIt is folly in one nation to look fol
disinterested favors from another, Z
and further. F'There can be no greater
error than to expect or calculate upor

is an illusion which experience must
cure, and which a just pride ought t,
discard
4 4.-Far from it. We may continue t.
escape war for years to come, through
combinations of good fortune and cir
cumstances, but, if we are ever put t,
it to face q first class power with mod

, with the limited military and nava
/ forces and equipment now at our com
mand, we shall pay for it in sacrific
of blood and treasure that will max
the world sick again, as it is now TIL
reasonable probability that, with on
/ vast natural resources, we would uIti
mately be victorious over an invade
never would offset the irreparabl
humiliation and loss that would be our
during the first of the fight when tn
odds would be practically all agains

I would give our nation its only hope @
minimizing the cost that must be pai

FLOURISH ONLY I'M WOODS
Wild Flowers Tha. Refuse to Be Con-
tented In Gardens That Are the
Handiwork of Man.

Among the truly wild" flowers, two
that ask of man only to be let alone
in their native Businesses are the may
flower, or trailing arbutus, and the
twinberry, or partridge berry, the last
named member of the madden fam
lily, and distant relative of the coffee
tree. The mayfower Is widest and
shyest of all. No more is the eagle
at home in the farmyard or the cardi-
nal in the cage than the mayf1ower
in the garden. AS the imprisoned
cardinal pines away and dies when
the gilded bars of birdcage separate
it from it's liberty, so the mayfiower
sickens and withers away in the gar
den.
The moth mullen for many a year
has been a rural mothban. 1t is a
member of the f1gwort family. Among
its relatives are the great mullen, the
blue toad-f1ax, the small snapdragon,
the turtle-head, the beard-tongue, the
cow-wheat. The country-dwelling
housewife uses its leaves in packing
away garments of winter to keep out
the tiny cloth moths OF summer. 1t is
also believed to be a bane to cock
| reaches.
The snowy lady's slipper, a shy
| member of the orchid family, flower
| ing from June to September, never
seeks the haunts of man, but tries tC
| remove itself as far from their com
ings and goings as it can, and it sue
ceeds SO well that only the flower
lover who Is willing to take pains car
| approach it's dwelling place. More
over. it is so persistent in its efforts t.
1 be let alone that it has come to have
tiny glandular hairs which contain
an oil that is somewhat poisonous Il
the human skin, and it is said that {
number OF cases of dermatitis hav'
followed the efforts of flower lovers tt
carry it in triumph out Of the woods.

If the six New England states should
report a fire loss Of $20,o00,OO0 fer a
single month the insurance world would
be staggered, and the blow would be a
leading news feature in all newspapers,
but the fact that 40 per cent of the
hay crop in this section was lost in
July through fermentation passes al
most unnoticed, although its value is
fully equal to the figures mentioned
and there is no insurance return to the
losers. The price of hay is sure to &c
soaring in the next few months. The
heavy rains should make the crop Of
rowen larger than usual, and the wise
farmer will do well to gather every
available particle of the second crop.

The exports from this country to
Holland, Norway, Sweden and DEN
mark have more than doubled in the
past year. The increase has been. in
copper, cotton and other things which
are used in making munitions as well
as in foodstuffs. Germany has free
access to these four neutral countries
and the obvious conclusion is that in
spite of the English blockade the
kaiser s country is receiving from
America materials which help prolona
the war.

DANGER In Wrist Matches.

Many soldiers in the European war
wear watches on their left wrists
which are frequently hit by the enc
my's bullets. When high-power pro-
jectile strikes a watch fairly it shat
ters it into countless fragments which,
when embedded in the bone, as they
usually are, make it impossible to
restore the industrial use of the arm.
1t is expected that the abandonment
of wrist watches in the armies will be
ordered on this account.-Pathfnder
