DR,PORTER NOW AS EVER READY
 TO DO HIS BIT
Octogenarian Not Too Old to Till the Soil as Patriotic
 Duty.

Ardent patriotism that refuses to be cooled by advancing years is para mount with Dr. George Loring Porter, of 372 State street, who saw service in the Indian wars and on Lincoln's per- sonal staff of physicians during the Civil War.
 Announcement has been made by Dr. Porter that he will cultivate 1000 square feet of garden in the rear of his residence and will devote the re- suit of his labors after harvest time to such worthy causes as the Home Gardens committee of the Chamber of Commerce may dictate.
 The example set by the noted phy- sician and member of the Seaside club other members of the club, veterans of past wars.
 Because of the advanced age of the volunteer gardener, and other patriot ic citizens who respond to the call, 1t is planned by the Home Gardens com mittee to plough the available land offered. leaving the lighter work to be done by the resident.
 Reports to the Fairfield County Re sources Mobilization Committee indi- cate that largely attended meetings will be held all throughout the coun- ty in towns and villages tonight. The finance and membership com mittees meet late this afternoon to discuss problems confronting them.

Germany Forcing Its Women to Work Half
 a Day Filling Lands

Data on labor conditions in the Ger man Empire found in German news papers recently received in London show that in the metropolitan area of Berlin there were on Jan 1, more than twice as many women and girls engaged in industrial pursuits as men and boys, the numbers being respec- lively 274,600 and 118,901 The num- Der of males decreased from 161, ,49O in 1915. Commentators foreshadow that the demands of the army will continue to alter the proportion in favor of women in increasing degree.
 Although there have been repeated assertions by the officials in charge of the application of the new auxiliary service law to the effect that women were not to be drafted into the in dustria1 army, this condition does not seem to obtain in agricultural work, as the General commanding the Pomeranian army district recently is- sued this proclamation:
 'sWomen in receipt of separation allowances or other war grants are re- quired on demand to work at least half day on the land if physically capable and if their domestic circum- stances permit. If they refuse, the civil authorities shall investigate whether war allowances are still nec- essary to the existence of these wo- men. If not the allowances will be wholly or partially withdrawn. The civil authorities will see that no per- son. male or female, who is capable and otherwise suited for agricultural labor is allowed to evade it. Cases of open resistance are to be brought to the attention of the military author itiaS"

STRATFIELD PLANNING
 MORE PARTICIPATION IN TOWNS PUBLIC MEETINGS

The Stratfield Improvement asso- citation showed continued activity this week when htey met again in a large numbers to consider ways and means of obtaining that fire and police pro- lection believed to be essential to the welfare of the community which is growing rapidly.
 One of the suggestions that met with considerable favor is the propos- ed establishment of a Volunteer Fire mems association, enlisted from more than 50 members of the association and equipped with al fire house and clubhouse with sufficient apparatus to cope with a blaze until more adequate apparatus can be summoned.
 Though not tentative discussion was given the subject of greater par ticipation in the Fairfield town meet ings during the present year, the con- census of opinion of the residential colony is that something should be done toward perfecting unity.
 The Stratfield residents are be- coming imbued with the belief that more participation in elections is the surest and best method of getting the many needed Improvements that the district demands as it increases in growth.
 With stimulated interest in each succeeding meeting Stratf1eld is walk ing widely to it's possibilities and def1- nite plans are expected soon to ,na- terialize.
 Officers of the association are Fl. L.. Sutton, president; Burton G. Staab, first vice president: Alfred J. Houge- nauer, second vice president; Robert Owen, treasurer, and George W. Hud- son, secretary. *~

respectful attention. and has over come, to a considerable extent. the traditional and mischievous tendency to regard the cause of peace as incon- sistent with national loyalty and pa- triotic devotion. It's chief opponents are, naturally, extreme pacifists an& extreme militarists.
 Because world peace presupposes world organization. it Is fitting that the World Peace Foundation should devote its energies and resources to organizing league of nations, which shall provide for the Judicial settle- ment of disputes and penahze wara undertaken without resort to arbitra- ton and conciliation. Such a league is the first step toward world organi- zation and world peace. The estab Iishment of the proposed league is as much patriotic duty as 8 duty to humanity. It's success is as neces- sary to our own national safety and prosperity as to the safety and pros perity of civilization.

AMAIASONTHA.

Beauty and charm, piety and learn ing and sweetness of character were combined to make Amalasontha, queen of the Ostrogoths. the most wor- shipped woman of her day, and in this no one outdid her husband. King, Theodatus. But instead of making her happy his jealous disposition all lowed neither him nor her moments rest. Amalasontha was a model wife. Suffers there were many, who annoy ed her despite the fact that she relied them and many a young and ardent swain lost his head, not alone to her, but on the block, because of his in- descretions. At the same time Theo- datus was not averse to seeking the charms of other women. which his queen knew and suffered in silence. She sought consolation in prayer and in the adoration which her subjects brought her. The king meanwhile considered his life's mission just one revelery after another. The halls of the palace rang with the ribald laugh ter of men, and women, too, in their cups. Feasts that lasted for days were given by Theodatus, while his consort was jealously guarded by pal aces pies, so that she could not have clandestinely met any of her many admirers even if she had cared to. It was during one of his many reve1ries that Theodatus became enraged at a fancied wrong, and his fancy was as- sisted by an imagination warped with drink. He charged Amalasontha with inf1delfty and all her pleading and protestations were of no avail Theo- datus murdered her on the spot. This occurred on April 30. in the year 519 The good,queen was carried to her last resting place amid the tears of the populace which had so adored her.

Says Prejudice Is Being Ov- ercome by Movement for International League to Prevent War.

New York, May 2-International organization as a means of preserv- ing peace among nations is urged in the annual report of the World Peace Foundation, made public here. The Foundation, which was organized by the late Edwin Ginn, of Boston, sup ports the plan of the League to En- force Peace of which William H. Taft is head. It is suggested that a fam fly of nations be equipped for the ju- dicial settlement of disputes and the maintenance of law and order. The report does not advocate peace at any price, but says that no peace worthy of the name may be- had at any price other than that of interna- tional organization. During the year 275, 1000 pamphlets were distributed.
 'fWar inevitably brought about 8 change of emphasis in the education al work of the Foundation" reads the report. 'The general work of per suading the world of the horrors of war and the blessings of peace was taken over by the war itself, and>done so effectively that it was no longer necessary for the advocates of peace to go on writing, publishing, and lec- turing on that scheme. War-makers, peace-makers, and neutrals all pro- fessed to want the same thing-a practical plan of international co-op- eration to insure peace"
 Continuing, the report says:
 The price of peace is organization. History shows that the price has to be paid in advance. Internationa4 peace will have to be paid for in ad- vance in the same way, by organizing <I,@ Co, .oq NIv1Cr 1t with adequate means for the judi cial settlement of disputes and the maintenance of law and order. The nations of to-day have. no right to ex- pect the blessings of peace or to com plain about the prevalence of war. They have not yet paid the advance price. They have not yet organized to provide adequate judicial substi- tutes for war, or adequate sanctions or guarantees for international law and order. People cry for peace at any price; but no peace worthy of the name can be had at any price except that of international organization.
 In time of war prepare for peace is a good maxim; but unfortunately most of the peace programmes fail to get a hearing from any but their own advocates, when once national antag- onisms are aroused and patriotic feeling runs high and var is actual or imminent. But, happily, this plan for g. league of nations does not meet the same prejudice and hostility. Mary patriotic citizens who are consclen- tiously opposed to peace under exist ing conditions are enthusiastic SUD- porters of plan for a league of na- tions to maintain peace, and provide judicial substitutes and preventives for future wars. It has had the pow erful backing of the President of the United States, with the result that the project of league of nations to se- cure peace and justice throughout the world has become the official program of the Government. and a prominent factor in the foreign policy of the na ton.
 It is probably the only peace move ment which could have secured such

STATES PRODUCERS
 SAY LOSS OF MILK
 SUPPLY THREATENS

Hartford, May 2.-Connecticut is threatened with the loss of it's milk supply. according to statements made after a meeting of the Connecticut Milk Producers Association held at Hartford. Unless the present situation is relieved and the farmers find a market for their produce, the direc- tors say that gradually the milk pro ducers will sell their COWS and the milk supply of the state will become insufficient to meet the demands of the people.
 Approximately 2,oo0 dairy COWS have been sold in this state in the past two months, according to figures giv- en by the association, and 60 per cent. or nearly 1.20O of these cows have been bought by Hebrews as kosher meat.

NEW JERSEY TO RUSH
 WORKMEN TO FARMS

1. Trenton, May 2.-Gov. Edge wrote all manufacturers in the state asking them to find out how many employees have had experience in farming and how many can be spared from work in the factories for temporary work on farms.
 The governor calls attention to the fact that despite all efforts to mobi- lize help for the farmers there will be some four hundred thousand acres of the finest land in the state un- planted this year unless hands can be obtained to work. Because of this the governor seeks the men from fac tories who will be willing to. put in more or less work farming. The gov ernor says in part:
 Many men who originally worked on farms are now employed in in dustrial plants, and if these men cah be made available, temporarily, when farm labor is, needed, the entire pro- ductive area of New Jersey will be cultivated.'
 Because the planting season is here, quick action is called for.
