les lived OF the land and grew fat
when the larders round about the bat
tlef1eld were we'll provided, or starved
when the fortunes of war or tn needs
OF strategy staged the fight far from
human habitations. Not SO today.
Victuals and victories go together. In
the long campaign big guns and high
powered rifles are less important than
good bread and beef II a modern
army were to attempt to take its prov
ender from the territory over which
1t travelled 1t would have to keep on
the move all the time. for in few
days 1t would exhaust the provisions
of even the most fertile countryside.
Like a cloud of locusts It would eat
bare the fields it traversed.
A nation going to war must think
first how it will feed its million men
in the field L nation preparing over
a long period Of years for a life an
death struggle with it's nefghbors
must spend as much thought ana
money on its lines of military COM
muni.ation as on its fortresses and
ornaments. Science, which has revo-
lutionized every branch Of warfare,
has evolved commissary system
which transcends anything dreamed
OF by the great leaders OF other days.
And the men behind the fighting line,
the men whose business 1t is to see
that the army's Unsuitable NAV Is sup
piled with steady stream OF provi-
sions, are no less heroes than the
men facing death in the trenches. 1t
4 Is quite as big job to feed as 1t Is
70 lead a million men. Indeed. the
mistakes of general at the front may
be far less costly than the mistakes
of commissariat at the rear. Cour-
age and enterprise may make the
struggle even though officers blunder
and re-enforcements fail to arrive.
Imagine the vastness of the task of
feeding millions OF men on battle
line hundreds Of miles long. The great
battle line in France for weeks ex-
tended over two hundred miles. Fac
ing each other on that vast line are
probably between three and four mil
lion soldiers. They must get three
square meals a day. They must
get plenty of food. nourishing food,
Hell-cooked and served hot. The
hcentrated rations In use by Al
vernments and customarily carried
BY soldiers on the march for emer-
gency purposes are not intended for
day-in-day-out use. The soldier must
have varied diet, consisting of meat
and bread and vegetables and some
thing to drink-and little dessert

PROGRESSIVE CITIZENS
ALONE RESPONSIBLE
FOR LAkELAND'S GROWTH

In this issue we publish two let
tiers from persons in widely separated
States, who CHANGED at one time to
pass through the city on the train,
and were so impressed by the evil
dences of progressiveness that were
apparent that they have singled this
place out from the many they passed
on their journey as being worthy Of
investigation for future visis or in
vestment
The files of the Chamber OF Com
merce are full of similar letters and
there are few days that the Telegram
does not also receive letters of a
similar tenor.
Visitors are impressed by our
white way, our paved streets, and
the general indications that the peo-
pie are alive and doing things. They
are very frequently so greatly i'm
pressed that they remain much
longer than they expected. or they
come again, or they finally become
permanent citizens.
Every one of these improv ements
which make the city a place fit to
| live in, and which SO favoraDly at
tract the casual passerby, were made
possible by the progressive element.
Everyone of these improvements
have been opposed by those who style
themselves conservative"
We do not believe in extravaganct
but we do believe in progress.
We believe in a reasonable con-
sfarvatism, but not in policy which
its advocates misname conservatism
) when in reality it is penuriousneSs CT
a kind that will stop all growth ant
progress and cause the city to stag
nate.
Il Have you ever lived in a 'conser
vative" town? The country is full o1
