THE GARDENS CVERCOAT
BY l.. M.

What lover of the garden IL there
who has not every year faced with
more or less "trcpidation the question
of putting the garden in its overcoat,
or, To be more IN line with the bromide
expression of the years, into winter
quarters?
Getting around In the spring to ind
cherished plants dead and withcrcd
Is like coming back 10 the home town
to get tidings that old friends have
died. There Is more or less emptiness
in the proceeding.
These troubles may be avoided with
a little thought. In November and De-
cembcr when the ground has been
slightly frozen, the garden may be
safely put into winter quarters.
Many plants do not require much at
tention or protection, and others which
need sorne protection will be killed
with too much coddling.
There Is something appcalingly hui
man about flowers that makes them
follow individual types and prefer
ences.
Almost all rosebushes will go
through winter nicely If earth is
thrown up around them to the depth OF
nearly II foot just before the grouLd
freezes. \ few inches Of leaves or
manure must he added to the ground
after the freezing weather sets In.
Tea roses In The North will o stand
much cold. and II is best to place them
In pots and So. them in n cool cellar.
Many of the tea roses will bloom all
winter If kept in IL moderately warm
room. The rambler roses will gene
rally go through the winter without
protection. In the instances of the
newer climbers, which may be hurt. 1t
Is II good plan To lay them fiat on the
earth and cover with II foot of earth
as a matter of insurance.
New Buddleins, or summer lilaCs,
eau be treated just like the roses. They
will be killed back, To be sure, but II
they have been well protected with
earth they will make II quick start In
the coming spring and by the end of
July will be In bloom again. Many u

Universal Military Service Intensely
American in Its Origin and Conception
By ROBERT BACON
Former Secretary Of State

Universal military training and service is constantly misrepresented
as un-Ameican and tending toward mniarism. Nothing could be further
from the facts.
Universal military training ano service is not only intensely Ameri-
can in its origin and conception, but in its very nature. Nothing could
be more democratic. 1t equaizes and distributes the burden of civic re-
sponsibiity. Universal service is universal patriotism. The rich man and
the poor man, the man from the country and the man from the city are
called upon to contribute, each one his share, to the common national well
fare. 1t throws together in the same company, the san ranks the same
tent, men of all classes, and gives to each man that better knowledge of
and appreciation of his fellow citizen from another walk of life, by which
alone W re an overcome class distinction, which is fatal to true democracy.
All men must serve a common cause, the nation, without discrimination.
and without favor.
The bugaboo of mIiarsm in connection with universal training has
been bred through ignorance and misstatement. Mniarism is a spiritual
and physical impossibiity n a democracy. 1t presupposes a tyrant or die
tator, which the American people would not tolerate for a moment.

strapped as fast as possible for the installation of the most advanced
types. New processes ire being discovered, new inventions being made
and new forms of organization are being created.
Let me illustrate: lndustraly France has been the land of highly
individuaized production. but on a small scale. Today she lacks human
hands. In that country little farms that for generations have been culti-
waited by hand or with the aid Of horse or bullock or two. are being
thrown together and farmed comparatively by tractors, gang plows and
the most modern agricultural implements in the world. France knows
that now and in the future she must rely upon machinery. Her business
men ars studying American systems of manufacture and soon the Ameri-
can idea will be predominant all over our sister republic.
Within five years we shall find a new Europe competing against
us with war-sharpened brains and warhardened muscles. not only in
foreign markets but right here at home. If our industries are not to be
caught slow of mind and fabby of muscle. we must improve our business
organization, must increase our manufacturing and merchandising ehi-
cheney and must keep pace with every step in Europes industrial progress.

Industrial Power Of Europe Being Made

When we think of Europe now we are apt to think

being made to OBTAIN the highest efficiency in the pro-

letter read at the annual dinner of

here.
The president was to have been the
principal speaker, but was prevented
from filing the engagement by pres
sure of foreign affairs. Joseph r. Tu-
multy, his secretary, read the letter,
which follows:
THE Democratic party has become
the party for young men and for all
the forward looking forces of the
country, for those who will not turn
back to privileged control and who
do mean to go forward to the realiza-
ton Of every genuine human right
Il had hoped to have the privilege

The reply has been outlined, 1t is
understood, setting forth clearly the
attitude of the Washington govern
ment and its reasons for believing
that IL acted under a definite and fully
ratified agreement when it ordered the
expedition across the border.
The reply will contain also a state
ment of the things the administration
holds 1t will be necessary to establish
before a retirement toward the border
can be started The vital element of
any understanding reached would be
the ability of the de facto government
to insure protection of American bor-
der towns in the future, and the com
plete elimination of villa and his ban
dts from the situation.

Conflict ClaSSed as Greatest
in Worlds History.
OFFENSIVE NOT CEASING
Through French Lines, Having
Gained Control of One Hundred
Square Miles Since Struggle Began.

London, April 1S.-The most gigan-
tic conflict in the history of the world,
the battle of Verdun, has entered up
on it's ninth week Ii is in many re-
spects without precedent. The enor-
nous scale of the German preparation
and execution OF the attack, the un-
paralleled concentration of artillery
and the sustained ferocity of fighting
mark the battle as one of the greatest
efforts of the war.
In no previous battle were the
losses so high as those which have
been estimated In the fighting around
Verdun These estimates, however,
cannot be regarded as conclusive evi-
dence, for neither Germany nor France
has announced its own casualties. The
French war office has declared the
Germans have lost 100000 in killed
wounded and captured. The Germans
state semi-officially that the French
casualties number 10000 killed and
wounded and that $4,000 unwounded
French prisoners have been taken.
The ground occupied by the Ger
mans after fifty-six days of offensive
operations may be roughly calculated
as 100 square miles. They have
forced back the French from their out
lying positions to their definite line of
resistance along the semi-circuiar
front from the edge of the Argonne
eastward across the Meuse and south
ward into the Woevre For the most
part this main line has withstood the
shock OF successive attacks. At no
point have the Germans succeeded in
breaking through.
