ENCE IN ENGLAND
ASSOCIATED Press Correspondence

London. April 0O.-"we Belgians and
French, who are now suffering most
cruelty from German aggression, are
grieved and astonished to find that in
the eyes of a large part of the trade
unionists of Great, Britain the war now
raging does not seem much more inn
portant than Colonial expedition. In
many places. indeed the working men
act exactly as II England were not en-
gagged, as we are, in struggle for life or
DEATH
In these words M. Emile Vandervelde,
the Belgian minister of state and leader
of the socialist party in his own country.
sums up his case against British social
lists in an open letter to the Daily Citi-
zen. Hyndman, the leader of the social
Democratic party in England, had as
sured NJ. Georges Clemenceau, the
French socialist. that the vast majority
of British workmen and socialists strong
ly believed in the war. Vandervelde de-
MES Hyndman's statement, adding:
Il have even been told that in certain
factories of arms and ammunition where
there are Belgians and English, the
English advise the Belgians not to exert
their full strength so as to avoid inten-
sive exploitation of their powers Of la
Dor. Such action is legitimate in time
| of peace. If persisted in now, it is OBJ
viously because the workers of England
do not sufficiently realize the gravity of
the situation.
But we may ask if there is not an
other cause-if there is not in certain
quarters some bad feeling, and if the
propaganda of peace at any rate is not
| in part responsible for a crisis which Earl
Kitchener deplores and Lloyd George
strongly denounces."
Vandervelde points to the resolution
adopted by the international labor party
at London, declaring victory for German
Imperialism would be the downfall of
liberty and democracy in Europe, and
asks Kerr Hardie and the labor party
leaders what is being done to carry out
this resolution. 1t is the duty Of these
leaders, Vandervelde urges, to enforce
the seriousness of the war upon the la
boring men of Great Britain.

FREE INSURANCE OF
RIFLES AND CARTRIDGES
TO THE RIFLE CLUBS

organized throughout the country. No
particular section seems to be leading
in this respect, although these clubs
are more successful in the West where
1t is easier to acquire and maintain
ranges in the open. The lack of
ranges in the densely populated east
ern section OF the country is going to
materially retard the development of
rihe shooting in the East unless the
government should construct ranges
that can be used at 200 and 300 yards
near the larger cities, after the plans
or protected ranges carried out in
Germany and other foreign countries
which provide for the building of
shields to catch all shots which would
nave missed the target. thus making
them absolutely safe from stray bull
let's and accidental discharge Of the
rifle. The general staff Of the army is
now at work on a new code Of rifle
practice which can be used on such
ranges and also on open ranges of
the National Guard where it is i'm
possible to get distances beyond 300
yards.
Congress will be asked at the COM
ing session to adopt policy of range
construction in the United States
Every year that this is put off will
add to the difficulties and cost to the
government OF eventually acquiring
such ranges and without such ranges
the government will never obtain any
adequate returns from it's loaning to
| citizens of Krag rifles and ammuni-
ton. Such clubs are now being or
ganized at the rate of Is to 25 week
and the offices of the National Rifle
Association of America, in whose
hands the government has placed the
| organization of these clubs, are busy
place. BY addressing this association
at Washington, descriptive printed
| matter in regard to the movement
may be secured by any citizen who is
interested in the matter Of rifle train
| ing in this country.

of 5.746. or a hundred more than the
average for February and 1000 more
than the average for March Of last
year.
London passed through the winter
with fewer cases Of restitution de-
manding relief from the Poor Funds
than any winter within the memory
of the present Poor Law officials.
The war, in fact, has enabled many
thousands of people belonging to the
classes which usually must be helped
to dispense with this kind of relief
and has even put them in possession
of funds more than sufficient to meet
their needs. London's pauper popula
ton has decreased steadily during the
past three months.
The London Guardians, at the be-
ginning of 1915, were providing for
100000 paupers. This was decrease
of $500 from the corresponding date
year before. April / showed the
total decrease by further 5000.

creases are in part at least. deceptive.

1T has been recently suggested that

Of England. There is much to be said
in favor of this idea. England is at
present full Of camps in which large
numbers of people are crowded to-
gether. These camps are models OF
good management, nevertheless there
are certain dangers which, are una
voidable. The typhoid carrier is one
of them; he is not himself ill, but he
carries the germ Of the disease and
infects other people.

COURTS PROTECT DIS
CHARGED GERMAN GIRLS

ASSOCIATED Press Correspondence
Berlin, April A large number Of
Berlin shop girls have brought actions
against firms, which after Inducing
them at the beginning of the war to
accept reduction of salary, have
dismissed them. There have been
more than 70 prosecutions of one firm.
A special court at Charlottenburg
has now given judgment that such
dismissals are illegal, holding that the
reduction in salary was arranged and
accepted on the understanding that
it would prevent the employee suffer-
ing from unemployment during the
war, and that employers cannot give
notices of dismissal until normal con-
ditions are restored in the labor mar
ket. If, therefore, shop girl is dis
missed, she is entitled to all sums
deducted from her wages since the
beginning of the war.

WARFARE AND GAR
DEN|NG MIX WELL

ASSOCIATED Press Correspondence
British Headquarters, France. April
1O.-Among the many incongruities Of
the present campaign not the least
strange contrast is that between the
waging of trench warfare and the
gardening which is carried on in many
places by the British soldier. The
gardens, which are mostly near the
dugouts, are not of very ambitious
order, but when circumstances per-
init, considerable care is devoted to
their cultivation.
In some cases the small plots of
growing primroses and daffodils are
not more than 200 yards from the en-
envy, close behind the breast-work
protecting their owners from the bull
let's which whistle overhead and bury
themselves with vicious thud in the
sandbags few feet away.

cleanliness, and no manufacturer
can make a clean, pure, wholesome
food out Of partially decayed raw
materials disguised and embalmed

So long as you are willing to buy
