WHOLESOME ARMY CAMPS.

The attention being given to the prop
err care of Uncle Sans new armies is
reassuring. The mistakes Of the Span
ish war training camps are not TO be
repeated The great eantonments es-
tablished in various sections of the coun-
try will represent the last word In army
hygiene. No soldier need expect any
thing in the form OF housing, clothing
or food that is not good for him. No
mother or father or sister or brother of
a soldier need fear that he viii fare III

The barracks win be rude, but clean.
There will be good ventilation, faultless

CROW AN EFFICIENT BIRD.
Meets Hard Times and Demands Of
Family Most Gamely.

Hartford Courant: Probably the bird
study clubs give scant attention TO the
crow, but to persons who have not the
farmers prejudice toward the "critter"
it is by all odds the most interesting Of
the winter birds. During the summer
the crow, which spends its winter here.
Is engaged in rearing it's large and hum
CRY family apart from the neighbor-
hood of humans, but when cold weather
comes the birds develop the social
habit and, in crowds. visit the haunts
of men, self.possessed and unafraid.
Men ought to take off their hats to
such a marvelously efficient bird in
these days when efficiency is the end
and aim of business, for the crow is
efficiency personified. Strong Of wing
and by no means a game bird there
Is no reason why the crow should not
spend its winters i'm Cuba or Central
America, but il declines to leave New
England and calmly defies the climate
to do its worst. Having maintained
its privacy in the summer the crows
get together in the winter and the bird
sharps that have given them attention
say that flocks of 100000 are not un-
usual.
In order TO get living in New Eng
land during the winter the crow has
developed a catholic appetite and per-
sons who have made study of the
bird and its bill Of fare say that the
crow is omnivorous in the broadest
sense of the word In a pinch he will
eat anything. The principal items on
his bill of fare are beetles. spiders.
weevis. grasshoppers. moths. butter
flies, caterpillars, bees, ants. wasps,
flies, crabs. shrimps, snails, fish, toads,
frogs. young chickens. wild birds and
their eggs, carrion and all sorts of
plants and grains. both wild and culti-
waited. Corn constitutes a large pro-
portion OF the grain eaten, and this
is one Of the principal grievances Of
the farmers against the crow. A bird
with such a catholic taste in food is OBJ
viously well prepared to meet hard
times and the high cost Of living. The
crow will kill and eat snakes. He will
eat small mammals up to the size Of
a cottontail rabbit.

POETIC JUSTICE.

II Is reported unofficially that some Of
the ships used to transport General
Pershing's army to France were Ger
man merchantmen. seized in American
ports when we declared war. Fourteen
such vessels are in the service OF the
navy department. Eighty-seven more
have been turned over by President
Wilson TO the federal shipping board
for operation within the last few days.
II is safe to say that the navy may
have as many OF them as IL needs. The
rest viii be used TO swell the tonnage
OF our merchant fleet and help make
good the losses inflicted by German sub.
marines on the worlds shipping.
The total tonnage thus gained
amounts 20 more than 100000 tons.
Nearly all the damages inflicted on the
ships by their German crews. acting
under secret orders from Berlin. before
our declaration OF war. have been re-
paired. Every ship. II is said. viii soon
be In commission.
Here is a rare example OF poetic jus
tice. The value OF all these vessels to
the United States az this time is In.
cqculable. The margin OF carrying

great, helps to solve big problem, and
VIII prove vital factor in the war. II
may develop in the end that Germany
owes her defeat largely 10 her own mer.
chant shipping. seized in such great
quantity by the United States and other
allied powers, and thrown into the scale
against her.
And the great part Of those ships be
IL noted. would never have been turned
against her but for her ruthless destruc.
tion OF the ships Of neutral nations.
Germany is paying the appropriate pen.
atty for u.boat ruthlessness.

lists, as to whether this $4,000, 600 ,00o
to be borrowed and spent by the gov
ernment would have 10 be added to
the expenditures Of the nation, or
would be made up by private econo-
mics, thus keeping the total national
expenditures, public and private, at
practically the same figure as before
He expressed the hope that this hap
py balance" would be effected. And ap.
parently il is. We are doing almost
precisely what he declared TO be prob
able. "The great body Of purchasers
of the smaller amounts of Liberty
Bonds are going 10 curtail their living
expenses, largely in the way of cutting
out luxuries, pretty much by the amount
they invest In government bonds. The
man with an annual income of $1,000
cut down his yearly expenses by 500;
the $4,000 a year man who has bought
81 900 or a $2,500 bond viii cut down
superfuities and luxuries to that
amount"
Thus most of the bond buyers will
be- at the end Of the year. richer by
the amount of their bond purchases.
Patriotic investment will have saved
them just so much through this new
form of thrift.
And there is little hardship imposed
on any considerable number of people
by eliminating luxuries TO attain this
end. There is just as much money being
spent as before,-more, in fact. The
difference is that many billions of it
are being spent by the government in
stead of by individuals. 1t all finds
its way promptly and steadily into tie
channels of manufacture and trade,
business, maintaining good
times" and enabling the people TO con-
tinue their earning and saving uninter-
