Following a custom now especially abpro-
PIRATE, I hereby designate Thursday, April 10,

best expression Of patriotism.

dedicate himself to some form of actual and
definite service.
urge all farmers to plan for the utmost
possible acreage OF crops, aud all towns and
city dweliers TO plan at least q home garden.
Housewives should also do their part by
avoiding waste OF food and provide only the
simple diet upon their tables.
We have entered struggle for the
preservation Of g sslf-governing democracy
among mankind. 1t is . peoples war. On
Patriots day let each one choose how best

The Enemy within.
lNesc York Times |

lNe@ forS 1tWes.
There is an enemy at large on this con-
tinent who is far more dangerous than
any alien. Though all his works are
wicked. he is good. He travels on his
piety. He regards himself as morally
superior to his fellows. But il is the SUI
periority of ignorance. To him the world
was made yesterday. Ee refuses to profit
by experience. The history OF human
affairs up to date means nothing.
The same enemy was at large in Eng
land. Without him Germany would have
been impotent and this war couldn't
have happened. "Oh WE'LL" he said
"these people who talk OF war are
''Oh, WE'LL" that. 1t was useless to have
an army; the feet was quite enough.
Germany would never go to war; she was
doing too well without it. British
taxation was already far too high with
out adding q military esta blishment to
the burden. And citizen army with
compulsory training destroyed the very
flower OF free institutions, the voluntary
system.
The ignoramus had his way. Germany
prepared the destruction of Europe and
sprung it as surprise upon her defense
less victims. England staggered under
the shock. 1t was months before it was
clear whether she could stand up for her
OVID protection. 1t was still longer before
pshe could bring her full strength to bear
upon the enemy. She could have pre-
vented the war for roundsy 10 per cent. OF
W hat it has cost her up to date in money
and perhaps per cent in life. II she had
been as ready two years ago as now, she
could have smothered the Germans before
they got fairly started. The ignoramus
blocked the way. England has got him
under at last, but he is loose and in fine
feather at Washington. He is prating
about the beauties of the voluntary sys-
tenn. The evil music of the familiar cant
pierces the keen ear OF Lloyd George
across three thousand miles OF sea. He
warns America against the English mis-
takes mistakes that are in the very blood
of US both.
The issues are enormous. More Ameri-
can lives are possibly at stake than have
been lost in all our wars. Our material
interest and the future OF democracy for
ever are in the balance. The half baked
opinions OF men taking up big subject
for the fret time should not darken our
counsels. Our American vision for
realities should pierce to the heart OF the
war emergency, which is compulsion,
with equality and efficiency in its favor
and only sentimentaiism and phonetics
against it.

To the Editor of the Amerscan:
In view OF the great Importance to the
country, as well as to the individual, that
the supply OF food should be increased, |
hope you will urge upon your readers the
wisdom of planting larger and more vege-
table gardens this season.
In this connection / find that the gov
eminent has just issued very useful and
interesting booklet entitled ''The Small
Vegetable Garden" This contains inter-
esting information and suggestions as to
how to obtain the best and biggest yields
from small plots OF ground.
1t is to be hoped that in the families Of
the readers of your valuable publication
there may be many school children who
will take an interest in this matter and
plant gardens of their own. To these
and all others who desire it, and will so
inform me, I shall be very glad to send
the booklet above referred to, a limited
number OF copies Of which 1 have OBJ
tanned for distribution.
Yours very truly.

One of the most momentous inter
national conferences in the history of
this country will be held at Washing
ton soon when Representatives of the
European allies will meet with repre-
sentatives OF the United States to
discuss war problems. The prom
inence of the men who will come to
this country for the conference shows
the importance which the European
governments attach to it. Among
them will be British Foreign Secretary
Balfour, the French minister Of justice
and former premier, Rene Viviani, and
General Joffre. History will be made

OBITUARY.
MRS. JULIA A. cRARTREE.

MRS. JULIA A. cRABTREE.
Mrs. Julia A. Crabtree, whose death oc-
Cured in Ellsworth Tuesdaye reDing OF
last week, was born in Winter Harbor,
October A, 1895, the daughter OF Wheeler
and Mary Leland Tracy. Her early life
was closely associated with the sea, and
all her sisters married men who were cap
tains OF sea-going crafts. Her brothers
were all men of large frame and some
were of unusual height and extraordinary
strength. Each OF them had trod the
decks OF many a ship as master. and as
young girl, Mrs. Crabtree took many trips
with them.
When but q girl, she was married to
Thomas Alden Crabtree, who was teaching
school In Winter Harbor, and whose school
she attended. With her husband she went
to Franklin to live. In the course OF years
nine children were born to them, two Of
whom, Willie and Gleason, died in early
childhood.
About thirty-six years ago, Mrs. Crab
tree, with her husband and family, moved
to East Surry, later to Bangor, and after
few years there, they returned to East
Surry and finally, twenty years ago, to
Ellsworth, where she had since resided.
Mr.. Crabtree died in June, 1900, and
home with her son, Harry l. Crabtree.
Though somew bat feeble from advanc-
ing years, her general health was excel
lent, and her sudden death on Tuesday
evening, April 10, after less than one
hours illness, was a great shock to her
family and to all who knew her.
Mrs. Crabtree was an earnest Christian,
and member Of the Baptist church. Her
greatest sorry Of late years had been that
her bodily weakness prevented her from
attending church. She was generous al
most to . fault, and no one was more
ready to assist the needy or comfort the
sorrowing.
She left four daughters and three sons
to mourn her loss Leonard T. Crabtree
OF Crandon, Wis, Mrs. Reuben Treworgy,
Frank s. Crabtree and Harry L. Crabtree
of Ellsworth, Mrs. 8. T. White of Bangor,
Mrs. r. c. Lord OF Millinocket and Mrs.
Charles P. Libby OF Pittsfield. She Is
also survived by q brother and sister in
Winter Harbor-Capt. George w. Tracy
and Mrs. A. J. Gerrish.
Funeral services were held Friday at
1.S0 p. m. at the home, Rev. X. B. Mathews
officiating. The floral tributes were many
and beautiful. The Ellsworth male quar-
tet sang two selections, 'Peace, Perfect
Peace" and ''Shall We Meet Beyond the

service, would saw am complete convert

have thoroughly believed in universal
military training and service in time of need.
as the fairest and most effective way to meet
big emergency like this. II we are going to
profit by England's blunders. we must rely
upon selective CONSUMPTION at the start, and
not wait until after we have failed with the
unfair volunteer system.
The way look at 1t, every man should be
conclusively presumed to be willing to do all
he can to defend his country; in other words,
every man should be regarded as having
volunteered already, and it is up to the gov.
ernment to say how many shall 20 first. and
how and where they shall be selected. No.
body can complain OF the unfairness OF this.
because 1t is absolutely fair.
Everyone who enjoys the benefit Of living
in this country in time of peace is and should
be willing to help defend it in time Of war.
II he is not, he ought to go some where else.
There should be no right Of purchasing
substitutes, SO that the man with money
should have no better chance than the man
without. That. as you suggest, is the only
democratic method and the only method
sure to result in putting up an adequate
defense in time OF need.
