THE GERMAN AS A WORKER.

The nations of the earth have much to learn from Germany. which counts for efficiency.
 nation which had 70 import 25 million dollars worth of fOolstuffS an- nually prior 10 the war could not have lasted three years had it not been for their ability to plan and work together and to let no resource for production escape them
 This is what Ambassador Gerard says of starving Germany: There is far greater danger Of the starvation of our allies than Of the starvation of the Germans. Every available inch Of ground in Germany is culti- vated and cultivated by the aid of old men, the boys and women and the 2,000.000 prisoners of war. The ara ble lands of Northern France and of Rumania are being cultivated by the German army with an efficiency never before known in these coun- tries. and most of that food will be added to the food supplies of Ger many. Certainly the people suffer but still more certainly this war will not be ended by the starvation of Germany"
 Working war prisoners is not 8 crime. but an economic necessity. The people of this great country should do their utmost to make food plenty and cheap

 '-The removal of 8 large force cf medical men to foreign shores, esti- mated at ten thousand to each mil lion of troops, will of necessity throw s large burden on those who remain. especially when great numbers of troops, inexperienced on the fields of battle. return for care and treatment. but with the wise provisions that have been made and the patriotic devotion of the medical profession, it is certain that neither our military nor civil pop ulation will suffer from lack of ade- quate medical attention

THE PRICE OF eLUEeERRIEs.

Whoever thought bIueherries in Maine would become so dear that na- tive buyers would make a protest
 Blueberries in Maine since the be ginning of time have been as nur1er- GUS as sand along shore and almost as cheap as sawdust.
 The editor of the Portland Express was among those who loudly resented the outrageous price, and this is wha | 2 rural resident wrote about him:
 Guess he never could get his liv- lnG picking at twice the present price Know I wouldn't like to try it
 He used to pay 1Oc per quart with put batting an eye1ash and the seller 1ould take the 10c and buy a pound of pork or two pounds of sugar. or eight quarts would buy a bag of four. Now, il would take 15 quarts to buy that bag of flour. See the picker's viewpoint? ?'
 These common place contrasts are certainly erlightening-the defence from the blue berry patch is valid.
 The way to make berries cheaper and milk cheaper and a thousand and one of the necessaries of life cheaper is to kill that old commercial lie that anything is worth all you can get for it."
 4 coal baron surprised the country by putting into words what most iealers are practicing in all parts of the country.

Modern trench war fare in Europe has for the time being educed the amount of marching re- quired in campaign; yet 1t remains just as important an element in the soldiers training as it ever was.
 In order to march for long distances the soldiers feet must be in good con- dition. AS has been aptly remarked, the infantryrnans feet are his means of transportation" Special attention should be paid to the fitting of shoes and the care of the feet. Marching shoes should be quite a little larger than shoes for ordinary wear. Sores and blisters on the feet should be promptly dressed during halts- At the end of the march feet should be bath ed and dressed; the socks, and if prac-

Nature and the Battlefield

The valley of the Atcre, which was 70 hideous last year when the trickle If; the stream ran from one haif-stag- lant pool to another through a brown waste of -ilneaded earth, is now all waving rushes dotted with nlca- dowsweet and hemp, aSr.mony and purple loossstrife. Tn Aveiuy Wood t,7o

"ndt oeFiouS MiStake or GreSt Brit
 air Does Our Method of Raisina an
 Army Avoid?"
 An Interview With Dr. c. c. Ged-
 frey, Chairman of the Committee on
 Sanitation and Medicine of the
 Connecticut State Council of De-
 fense.
 Dr. C. C.. Godfrey, of Bridgeport. who is chairman of the committee on sanitation and medicine of the Con- nectlcut State Council of Defense. contends that, from the m d:caI standpoint, the most serious mistake made by Great Britain in the war was in the method of supplying the army with medical officers and the disre- gard of the future need of nedic a. men to care for the civil portion of the country. Dr. Godfrey was asked by representative of the Connecticut state Council Of Defense, in a series of M ade- -in-Connecticut War Inter views, the question What serious mistake of Great Britain does cur method of raising an army avoid ?" and made the following statement:
 At the beginning of the war. En- bers of her best surgeons. and enlist ed the abie-bodied men from the corps of medical students for service in the army This was done with the one object of caring for the army needs, and without proper considera- non of the many other objects wT1i ioi require medical skill. For 1t is ius4 as essential that medical men should care for the civil, as it is that they should care for the military reauire- ments.
 Depicting the hospitals and sparse " settled portions of the country of medical men and the medical schools of their faculties and students soon brought about a condition where need ed medical aid could not be had. and the needed yearly increment to the numbers of the medical profession, with internes for the necessary needs Of tn hospitals, was cut off
 This may not have seemed SO se- r1ous at the time, in the light that it was generally believed in England that the war would not last wear and when the statement of Lord Kit cnener as to three years duration was ridivuled
 t'It has resulted, however, in having every available man called to the col CTS and has caused great confusion in the filling of medical offices with com petent men, as in boards of health. staffs of hospitals, etc, as well as Producing great hardship in portions or the United Kingdom from a lack cf physicians, and placing a great bur den on the older and disabled mem bers of the profession united for mil itarV service
 at Washington, very wisely deter mined at the start on what might be termed 8 selective volunteer system. by which each hospital was asked to Indicate how many of it's staff could be spared and yet be capable of thor puEh and efficient work
 That no interne should be taken until he had completed a years work in some hospital. Thus insuring more trained men for the Medi- cal Officers Corps, and at the same time not interfering with the normal running of the hospitals, That the faculties of our medical sshools should net he depleted so as tT prevent the on of their we and medi- cal students were urge to continue

TALKING TREASON.

There is no evidence that there is more Urea asonable talk now than there was during the Civil war. but it is evident enough that there is too much Of this talk in high places.
 Would Grant or Roosevelt have tolerated the reasonable utterances 9cd action of a few senators in con- .? As commanders in chief of the J..ted States forces they would have leLtes shut up or take traitors pun ishment.
 Colonel Carl Reichmann of the Twenty fifth Infantry, L. S. A, nomi- mated as a brfsadier- general, is re- ported to have declared openly:
 That it is an outrage to >send troops to France as General Persh- ing has been sent.
 That there will he civil war in this country if the government tries to draft men who do not want to go.
 That we have no business in this war 10 fight for England.
 That Germany's submarine war fare is quite what it should be.
 That bomb throwing on English schools was perfectly lawful and per missible."
 if this is true of what service can he be to this government either as Q citizen or a soldier. He should lose his commission and be dishonorably discharged-he should be drummed out of camp.
 There is too much freedom of speech in this country for free-boot- CTS of every kind. The only way to put d stop to reasonable speech is to let those who are not with the gov ernment know it will not be toler- ated.
