 Practically every individual has an opportunity to do something. There is hardly a home in the city of New Britain that is not surrounded by enough land to make the cultivation of a vegetable garden possible. It is the duty of those owning or renting this land to see that it is made pro- ductive of something of greater value factories on Saturday afternoons gives to employees much needed half holi- day. They no doubt are willing, how ever. to sacrifice this in the interest of their families and their country. In- stead of giving up the time to the planting of flowers in an attempt to beautify the front yard, work for which they are to be complimented under ordinary conditions, why not devote their attention to the cultiva- tion of the land in the rear of their homes, that the vegetable crop may be ample to supply the country's needs. The task is one that can be made pleasant if entered into in the proper spirit and the effect even more far reaching than the mind can grasp. Let us show our interest and help. The flying of the flag or the wearing of the national colors in our coat lapels never won war. The brain and brawn of the men and women of the. country must be utilized. MT.

VEGETABLES VS. FLOWERS.

Unless measures are taken by the general public to either diminish the consumption of foodstuffs or to in- crease the supply during the coming summer the price of grain and vege- tables will without question make an advance before next Spring that will make the high cost of living now pre- vailing insignificant in comparison Reports from the department of agri- culture indicate that there will be a suit unless more activity is displayed in the cultivation of land. This pre- diction is made without taking into consideration the effect made by the country's entry into the world war; Consequently it is apparent that no matter what will result, in a military sense. from the declaration of hos tilities, the people of the United States will be forced to face a food shortage of a seriousness almost beyond our comprehension.
 With this outlook confronting the nation. it behooves every loyal Ameri- can to give serious thought to the solution of the problem. What can I do to help? That question is directed to every man who is looking after his personal welfare and that of his ia mi ly as we'll as his fellow citizens. It is per!1a ps as important as the question of taking up arms that the honor and integrity of his country may be up- held. Should the large army contem- plated by the war department be mustered into the service, more than million men now classified as pro- ducers will be taken way from their regular employment to become pre- pared for eventuahties.

GERMAN-AMERICANS
 PROVEN PATRIOTS
Few Are Inclined to Make Trouble
 Mass Is Loyal

Washington, April 9.-Gratifying reports have been made to the depart ment of justice from its agents in all parts of the country on the behavior of Germans and German-Americans following the declaration of a state of about 100 arrests have been ordered and others are expected, Attorney General Gregory said last night that so far the situation is very encourag- ing.
 As a result of it's request that em- ployees of the government in all parts of the country watch carefully for the activities of German agents, many re- ports have been received at the de- partment of justice, and these are be- ing investigated as rapidly and as thoroughly as possible.
 Although some reports have indi- cated that German spies are em- ployees in the government service, so far there have been no arrests in this connection. Department of justice officials would not say whether any were expected. .....
 Protests in large numbers have

 As a result of this situation, 1t was said last night, permits may be issued for some exception to the general rule in case the department of justice is thoroughly satisfied of the reasonable ness of requests. Except where per- mits are granted. however. the rule will be vigorously enforced.
 To strengthen the position of the in hunting down and prosecuting spies and espionage. bills which failed of passage at the last congress will be pushed vigorouly In congress this week. and ever! effort made to secure their early enactment. Some changes in the bills have been made.

OUR NAVY.
to come.

There need be no fear about the eAiciency of our navy. It may not be as large as some would have it; but it is in keeping with the policies of a nation that has never gone to war for conquest or for dominion. It is large enough to defend the coast-hnes of the country. In this war the Navy if it gets a chance. will prove to the people of the country and the world. that there is no better or ganzed fighting fleet af1oat. Just how the navy will work on the sea is not given for laymen to know. They may understand. however, that the advisory board at Washington has not been asleep at the switch while German submarines have been strik- ing terror into the hearts of non-c con- batants.
 When the United States navy goes out after the submarine terror, un- less all bets arc missed. the navy will come out victorious. 1t will not send its heavy battleships into the fray. It will not meet the enemy with its dreadnoughts. 1t will send its speedy cruisers after the pernicious under sea boats. These ships, mounted with the best light guns made, should be able to deliver the goods. The de- stroycrs and torpedo boats of the
 
 faster than any German submarine. According to reliable reports there is not a submarine afloat that can at- tain a speed of twenty knots an hour on the surface of the water. Of the fortv-three destroyers and torpedo boats ready for duty now there IS not one which cannot make twenty eight knots an hour. Some have att tained a speed of thirty-five knots Their four-inch guns are capable of destroying submarine at four miles distance. A submarine that far away is, to all purposes practically useless. To these forty three submarine de- stroyers already mentioned Nhere will be soon added a fleet of twenty eight similar vessels now being or author ized to be constructed. At the be- ginning of the year eight of these ves- gels had been almost completed. Nineteen of this fleet, will be able to reach a speed of thirty-five knots an 'hour. These will be pressed into pa trol duty off our coasts.
 With the swiftcst craft on the high seas, it can be seen that the United States navy will be able to thorough ly defend our Atlantic coast line. It will. in cooperation with the ships of France and England. aid materially I in rjdding the high seas of the worst pest in hstory.-the submarine. Should any of the lighter vessels be called for action in far away parts of the ocean,, the coast line can be entrusted to our armoured cruisers, all of which have speed of twenty class cruisers with a speed even great cr,-twenty-four to twenty-seven knots. In the three classes of cruis- ers.-armoured. light battery,-and first class there are vessels capable of rendering wonderful service, whatever happens these ships will give a good account of themselves. They carry, besides their guns, the best gunners in the world.
