KIroHENER's BANTAsIs

One of the oldest military organiza- tions produced by the war is that which is popularly known as Kit chener's Bantams." When the British government began the task of form ing a great army for foreign service. thousands of men who were under the regulation height flocked to the stan dard. only to be turned away because of their brevity of stature. This fact soon attracted the attention of Lord Kitchener, and 1t was the late War Secretary who suggested that the Lit tie fellows be accepted for d separate organization of their own. It was thus that the Bantams came into being. The army regulations as to height were reversed in their case, and no man more than five feet three inches in his hosiery was accepted by the Bantam recruiters. The average height of the men comprising the Bantams is about five feet two inches, and there are not a few who fall little short of five feet. The first battalion If midget warriors soon proved. that height was not an important qualifica- ton in trench warfare, but that, on the contrary. the little fellows were completely sheltered where taller men would have their heads exposed as targets for the enemy. Other Ban tams have played a prominent part in the fighting, and on many occasions they have been so determined not to show inferiority that in many cases they have performed prodigious feats of valor and endurance. When the first bunch of bantams arrived in France they were greeted with few covert grina, but now the sturdy little soldiers are applauded wherever they

BOLTON HALL WOULD HAVE
 FEWER AND BETTER PEOPLE


 There are too many of us-that's what ails us. If there were fewer of us, we'd not be fighting, individually and collectively. for g place in the sum We'd each have our little cot tage and plot of ground on which to raise garden ..s:lss'' and be able. Co look the landlord in the eye and tell him to go to grass. Only there would n't be any landlords And everybody would be reasonably happy and con- tented, and that, too, without any so- cialist overlords to rule us and no great extension in the powers of gov ernment.
 } Some such idea of the idyllic future one gathers from a casual perusal of the published works of Bolton Hall, lawyer, sociologist and "back to the land" reformer, who has devoted a large part of long life to the con- sideration of the problems which con- front the human race. MT. Hall will be sixty-two years old tomorrow. He was born in Ireland, the son of Rev. John Hall, long the pastor of the Fifth Avenue Presbyterian church in New York and one of the most elo- uuent clergymen of his time.
 MT. Hall has been prominent in the birth control movement, and not long ago was arrested on the charge of distributing pamphlets on methods of birth control at meeting held in a New York square. Although pres ent at the meeting, MT. Hall denies any part in the distribution of the pro- hibited literature. declaring that as a lawyer he would have nothing to do with violation of the law, and is interested only in agitating the repeal of the statute.
The Bridgeport evening farmer., 1916-08-04

Three Acres and Liberty is per- haps the most widely read of MT. Halls books. Ever since his gradua- ton from Princeton and the law school of Columbia University he has been the propagandist of measures for restoring the land to the people. He abandoned the practice of the law to devote his time to furthering the sim gle tax and allied movements. He has not confined himself to theoretical observations, but has rolled up his sleeves and demonstrated by the sweat of his brow th2t it is possible for a man to make a living from compara- lively small plot of ground. He has turned thousands of people from the crowded, unwholesome city slums to the country, and, in all probability, thousands more will be influenced by his works to take the backward trail to the soil.
