SOLDIERS WORK GARDENS.
Allied Soldiers ForSllse BayOnet and
Rille for Hoe and Spade.

A dispatch from the French front
says:
The beginning Of spring this year
produced the spectacle Of thousands
or soldiers Of the French army. to-
gether with their comrades Of the
British and Belgian armies, forsaking
the rifle, bayonet, tin handgrenade
and the machine gun to take in
hand temporarily the hoe. the spade,
the harrow and the plow in many Of
the districts Of eastern and northern
France.
The reconQuest Of large tracts Of
territory from the Germans and the
return OF the civilian Inhabitants
from the places where they had taken
refuge confronted the authorities
with the problem Of restoring these
lands to cultivation. Farming i'm
plements to the value Of hundreds OF
thousands Of dollars, it was found
had been damaged or destroyed since
the beginning OF the war in what is
known as the zone of the armies"
The young peasants were all serving
in the ranks and the older men, even
with the aid Of the women and chill
dren, were unable to fill their places
for the proper cultivation Of the
land.
The army decided to step into the
breach. The greatest proportion Of
the soldiers in the French ranks
came from the peasant or farming
class. 1t was therefore an easy task
to find capable hands. The organiza-
ton was more difficult. but co-ordina-
ton between the civil and military
authorities was effected very rapidly.
A military officer with agricultural
experience was appointed by each
army to consult with the prefetcs Of
the departments in which the troops
were stationed and to find out what
work was to be done and how many
hands were required to do it,
The zone occupied by each army
was sub-dvided into small districts,
each containing about 25 villages or
hamlets. The commanding officer Of
the troops stationed in each district
was directed to get in touch with the
civil official and place at his disposal
as many men as are needed or can be
spared for agricultural labor.

Slackcrs VIII Not Escape.

Washington. April 19.--!The War
Department has announced that men
who have married since the declara-
ton Of Il state Of war against Ger
many, will not escape military SER
vice, but will be treated on the same
basis as unmarried men so far as
military obligations are concerned
The department moved to take
this action in order that all men
might understand exactly what was
contemplated in the organization of
an army to fight Germany. 1t was
desired that there should arise no
question Of "slackers" upon the score
of marriages contracted since the
outbreak Of the war, with the possi-
bic construction that marriage in any
case would be hastened in order that
military duty could be avoided.
