The Troubles of England

Each of the countries at war
has its peculiar troubles, military
or economic, to contend with;
some of the troubles can be miti-
gated or even overcome by
patient and patriotic effort;
others grow worse as the contest
proceeds.
Take the case Of Great Britain,
Its greatest difficulties are the
result of the national character,
which - however alert Britons
may be in other matters-is per-
ilously sluggish in respect of any
war in which the nation may be
engaged. Englishmen from
time immemorial have felt that,
since they lived on an island,
they were secure from invasion.
AS long as their navy was the
most powerful ahoat they had no
fears. So the war found them
with only small standing army
and the ordinary Briton has only
now begun to realize that, if his
country is to be successful in this
war, it must have just such an
army as its continental neighbors
have. Hence the long and tedi-
Gus wrangle over the tardy vol
.unteer recruiting, the frantic op-
position to compulsion and the
vain disputes about the respect
i've duties Of single and married
men Meanwhile, the great
army that Great Britain needs is
not even yet created.
More than once also, the bust
ness Of munitioning the army
that has been raised has been
delayed and confused by the at
titude of organized labor. In
time of war the nation can eXel t
itself effectively only when
private or class interests yields

Cotton Acreage

The latest reports as to the
acreage planted in cotton this
year show an increase of ap-
proximately twenty per cent,
which of course is due to the
high prices which recently pre-
vailed. While the acreage in
cotton will be materially in
creased in this county this year
it will not be permitted to inter-
fere with the grain crops, so
we may say that our farmers
have not gone wild over cotton
again. If we make a fair crop
of cotton it will certainly show a
good profit, owing to the fact
that it will be made at a very
low cost to the producer. Wood

We had a great crowd at the Golden
Wedding last night and | don't think
this assemblage Of fair women and
brave men could have been beaten
anywhere and everything went as
merry as the traditional marriage bell
Brother j. J Baird made a most suita-
bic talk to the bride and groom, and
the singing led by Toms nephew, Writ
Wilkins, was excellent. When they
sung "Long Ago" my mind went
back over the fifty years that had
elapsed since this good couple were
married, and could hardly refrain
from tears when ! thought of all the
dear men and women who had married
like Tom and | did in the CO.'S soon
after the war, and who had now gone
to their last home, for very few Of
these brave young men who survived
the war and young ladies' who married
them are now in the land Of the living.

splendid, but as | don't believe in Civ

Of cuff buttons. Well, if l had had

use for them than John had, | might

buttons any mare, and he tells me that

kins is going to do with them,
We were an served delightful cream

ing condolences Of literary dis
tory that Shakespeare and Ger
vantes died on the same day,
says the Youths Companion.
Certainly no other date has
brought so great a loss to letters
as April %, 1916; for the great
Spaniard, like the great Eng
lishman, soon burst the bonds of
nationality and race, and for
nearly three hundred years has
been a part Of the literary herit-
age Of the whole world.
Oddly enough, we know little
about Shakespeare and much
about the author of Don
QuiXote. " What is really known
not merely guessed or sur
mised-abou Shakespeare could
be told amply on this page, but
what is known of Cervantes
would fill a portly \ lume of ad-
venture and romance. A lab
orer a soldier, a sailor, captive
to pirates, and a slave to the
Moors in Algiers; never giving
up his hope of rescue or his at
tempts at escape; spared from
execution by a master not in
sensible to intrepedity; ransomed
by the sacrifices that his parents
and his friends made for him
he saw the stream of life both at
ebb and at flow, and travelled
both with the current and
against it. No wonder that he
drew from its waters such wealth
of experience, such knowledge OF
human nature!
Don QuiXote" is probably the
most human piece of imaginative
literature in the world. No
other work Of h.uou combines

decorous and resnained pathos.

trating criticism of life. The
kindly knight and Sancho Panza,

claim the pros ction of every

call himself eJi Gated who had

fearful, no doubt, lest they
should thus surrender rights OF
privileges that were not easily
won and that might not be re-
stored after the war without an
other struggle. The lives of the
men at the front and the safety
of England itself depend on
driving the work in mine, factory
and shipyard; but the unions
have yielded to the necessity
with grudging reluctance, and
sometimes only under strong
government pressure. 1t is all a
part Of the price that England
pays for insisting on individual
liberty rather than on national
discipline.
The crisis through which the
United Kingdom is passing is to
prove whether such a country
can rise to the supreme test of a
great war without sacrificing
any essential part of its political
creed.
Moreover Great Britain has its
internal enemies, and more than
one group of half-hearted citi-
IZans who are more inclined to
criticize and obstruct than to
help. 1t has confined all the
| alien enemies whom it could iden-
tify; but it has not found them
| all, for Germany still has its
sources of information in Eng
land, Ireland, we are told, is
loyal as a whole, yet it contains
a great number Of men who are
quite the reverse. The govern
ment did not venture to extend
the mild measure of compulsion
to chat island. Even in parlia-
Iment there are members who
nag, carp and complain, and who
oppose everything that is pro-
posed and every minister who
| proposes it.
Add the losses that the coun-
try suffers from the submarines
and mines, the destruction and
devastation wrought by the Yep
pelin raids, the heavy taxes, and
the rising cost of the necessaries
Of life, and we can in a measure
understand the troubles that the
English are facing. Yet they
are cheerful and confident, No
more than the Germans have
they any thought of giving up,
Give them time enough and they
will cure some of the evils from
which they suffer. Like good
sportsmen, they will endure the
rest with a smiling face. --

an opportunity for the farmers
