PRosPERITY AND REcRuIrINo

While recruiting in many dis
tricts has been more satisfactory
since the army was ordered into
Mexico, there is, nevertheless, a
feeling in some quarters that
there will be difficulty, under
present conditions, in increasing
the size of the army. Accord
ing to army officers, who are, as
a rule, unwilling TO talk for pub
LEGATION about the army, the main
difficulty seems to be that with
the present industrial prosperity
men are not anxious TO go to
work for the government at S15 a
month and their board and cloth
ing. Work in most large in
dustrial centers is plentiful-in-
deed, it has never been more
plentiful in the last fifteen years
and wags are relatively high.
The government has asked for
10000 men Immediately and
with a view to raising them the
army has opened recruiting sta
tiOns which have been closed for
a long time. The call has been
general, and with the army in
Mexico there is a fair possibility
of lighting. This is what young
men profess to want. They
complain that in times of peace
the army is dull. 1t is not dull
now, and with the preparedness
program outlined by the admin
istration we'll under way it now
looks as though the army offers
a fairly interesting and remun-
erative career to young men will
ing to study and become candi-
dates for a commission.
There should be no question Of
pay involved. To give this as an
excuse for sluggish recruiting is
to admit that something else is
the matter, for the average young
American does not take kindly to
the idea of having his patriotism
rated in dollars and cents. It
may be that while prospective
recruits see the advantages Of
fered today they are doubtful
about how long the new army will
remain in public favor. Ger
tainly if a decisive victory is
achieved by one side or the other
in the European conflict, and The
war is brought to an abrupt and
final end, there may be less talk
of a larger army in this country.
But this is a remote possibility
so remote that the government
has decided on a program ex-
tending over several years.

SICK GIRAFFE.

Now the Giraffe had been grumbling
all day long" commenced Daddy, and
the other Animals in the Zoo were all
getting very, very tired of hearing him
complain.
"'And not one of you has asked me
what is the trouble whined the Gil

why, Mr.. and Mrs. Lion even took
nap this afternoon he continued.
I'd have thought they would have been
too worried for that. But no, they
slept and slept and didn't wake up I'M
til they thought it was Supper time.
And the Tiger over there-he was so
very rude-he roared and walked up
and down his Cage because he was an
CRY. AS if anger was anything com
pared to feeling sick. And he was an
CRY about little Boy who had called

"'Well,' said the Tiger who had been
listening, as had all the Animals, even
though the Giraffe hadn't been talking
straight to any of them-but had just
been talking aloud about them all, i
think that's very mean of you, Gil
ratfe. OF course, no one could make
mistake about you. l can't imagine
anyone calling you an Elephant or a
Khinoceros or Kangaroo or Mon
key. Because Giraffe looks just like
Giraffe and nothing else. SO, of
course, you would never have your
feeling hurt that way
We'll, very sensible it is of me to
look like myself and not like any other
Animal. But just the same I'm sick
and no one cares, and it's cruel-that's
what it is
How perfectly absurd to say 1t is
cruel said Mrs. Lion in very roaring
voice, for she was angry that the Gil
raffe had talked about the nap she and
Mr.. Lion had been taking. 1t would

all ask? He wanted to hear them
say it again, and sure enough again
they all rOared out:
"'What IS the matter, tell us quick

and waited for a moment, and then
he said, I've a Sore Foot.
Well said Mrs. Lion, did ever
anyone hear of a Giraffe with Sore

grew quite kindly and sad.
Just then the Keeper came in with
Supper for the Animals, and when he
saw they were all talking to the Gil
rate he went to his cage first. There
the Giraffe put up his Foot and the
keeper Immediately got some nice lini-
ment and bandaged it for the Giraffe
and gave him an extra fine Supper.
'All the evening the other animals
talked to the Giraffe TO cheer him I'D
and told him of many wild adventures
they had had when they were young
in the deep forests. And the Giraffe
was so thankful he had had a Sore

Animals seemed to think that was
something new and interesting"

The Barre Times, enterprising and
always ready to exploit the attractions
of Vermont, calls attention to the fact
that some of the best salmon fishing
ia New England is to be found in Is
sex county, but when it says that ''two
beautiful sheets of water are connected
by nine-mile trail that is uniquely
adapted to portage we are inclined
TO think that the writer has never seen
the Avcrill lakes. As a matter of fact
the trail from Big Averill to Little
Averill is only a mile and a half in
length. and it is in Little AverilI
that the largest fish are caught. The
record salmon there according to the
guides, weighed l6 pounds, but numer-
.ous fish have been taken weighing
from II 20 1t pounds, while six to
eight Founders are common in the

IMPARTIAIITY

sued from the Vatican, makes a YER
bal distinction that ought to be of in
terost TO Americans. Describing his own
attitude toward the belligerents. Bene-
diet calls himself not neutral" but
impartial"
Neutrality" he explains, is pas
sive thing. 1t even suggests a lack of
genuine interest and sympathy. The
"neutral' may ignore the moral as
poets of the war, may remain unmovcd
by nobility or wickedness. may even
dodge the trouble of making up his
mind about it.
ImpartiaIity, both in meaning and
results, - SAYS the Pontiff sis superior

OF fairness to each side, combined with
active interest in each. The Pope speaks
OF himself as condemniug in general

This Is doubtless the true attitude of
this nation as It whole. Most of rs are

so merited criticism from an impartial

The snceze is a violent form of light
artillery practice which is never
troubled with a shortage of ammuni-
ton. 1t is hard to understand why
the great American sneeze is not made
an implement of warfare, like the ma
chine gun, in which event we could pro-
tect our coast line with perfect ease
and would not have to build expensive
arsenals in order to re-elect some con
gresham who is headed toward peaceful
Oblivion.
The sneeze is caused by some foreign
substance entering the nose In a stealthy
manner and setting up a loud and
determined tickle This tickle is usually
located where it cannot be reached from
the outside, and causes an apprehensive
look to settle ON the face of the victim
Sometimes, as in church or al a funeral,
Il budding sneeze can be seized around
the throat and choked into a submissive
gurgle, but nine times out of ten it eX-
plodes with a noise like fat man sit
ting on a toy balloon. There is nothing
that will destroy the tout ensemble Of
