 At Spartansburg on Sunday, Aug 5th. the people invited a whole com pany 10 dinner in their homes: and the local paper says this was done not only for the sake of extending an appropriate welcome to the young men a5 our guests. but as an expres- sion of the friendly feeling the whole community has for the entire New York Guard If t were possible to have the entire 10000 to dinner that would be done"

STORIES, OF THE WAR
Rirus and Butterflies.

British officers who find themselves now at Le Touquet may have, as the writer and two others had recently, special opportunities of observing the fauna and flora of the neighborhood The country consists of an extensive area of sandhills running in for at least mile from the sea, with marshy holiowS intervening, and sprinkled with Wper's bugloss and other less conspicu- ous blossoms. Adjoining the dunes are the golf links for which Ie Tou- quet is famous, intersected with pine clad ridges of sand, and merging tow ards the northeast, in extensive wood lands which divide Le Touquet from the neighboring seaside resort of Paris Page.
 The air was rich with the songs of nightingales and warblers and the soft cooing of turtledoves. Fritillaries f1ft- ted everywhere, and at least three species of Skipper butterfly were con- mon, the Dingy, the Grisled, and the bright form of the Large Skipper. At sundown the eye might catch the red form of fox sinking through the thlckets to prey on the fowls of the neighboring farmsteads.
 From the woodlands the pedestrian will emerge upon the links. Here the first sound that will catch his ear is he sound of number1ess crickets. On several occasions we stalked these noisy insects to their lair, small hole scooped out of the sandy turf. If we
 
 their black forms dart dcwn their dugouts, and it was easy with the help of pocketknife to induce them to emerge like a "winlIed Hun" with his hands up It was on the links that two of the finest British fritillaries were to be commonly seen the Heath and the Queen of Spain. The former have hunted without success in the Canterbury woods. while the latter. with it's beautiful mother-of- pearl on the underwing, is only casual visitor to our shores. Here, also, were noted the migrant brothers, the CIouded and Pale Clouded Yellow, while the gor- geous Cream Spot Tiger Moth and pretty little Tawny Wave which I 1 have only seen before in Suffolk. were occasionally flushed by our footsteps.
 Tree pipits were common on the links. soaring up from the pines and volplaning, full of song. to the grass: the B1ackcap sang everywhere, and Crested Larks were common, carrying on a perpetual feud with the Yellow hammer. It was amongst the pines

SOM ETHiNG YELLOW.

Gov. Holcomb has been taken to task for saying there is something vel low in this state.
 There is som mething as yellow or yellower in every state. for there are ten times IS many copperheads in the states as there were during the Civil war.
 There is also a fine display of gol- den patriotism in this state, as there doubtless is in all the other states. The real American spirit never dies out
 In every town in Connecticut and in every part of the Union, young men between Is and 20 have refused to be rejected because of their lack of weight and other technical objec- sions, and have butted in by sheer persistence.
 Several youth of Norwich have done this. and doubtless youth in all our 16s towns have done the same thing.
 One Norwich boy whose foot was slightly deforned ordered a toe am putated that he might get by
 The spirit of young America is all right
 We are calling men towards who are not towards and women slackers who are not slackers. Why not aban- don this habit of calling names?

HOW GERMAN HATE WAIVERS

The world looked up in wonder when Germany put her hate for Eng land into song and taught even her school children to cultivate this dia- bolica1 habit of hating
 When Tommy Atkins, taken by the music of the song began to sing 1t to other words, Germany noticed that the effect Of it on her enemies was not just what she expected it to be: and although the Kaiser honored the au- thor of the song. the people deeming it unworthy of a cultured people made an end of 1t.
 They have hated and abused the Jews who belong to the Algimex. a trade organization which receives and distributes imports in Germany. be- cause they do business together and help their friends to nice little careers for which purpose they are exempted from military service
 But just now Americans come in for most abuse in Germany, and for be- ing hated stand at the top.
 The German explanation to her people of the intervention of America is generally this-America was afraid that England would not win and was then alarmed about her ammunition orders. That is why she came in; but also because she wanted to sit at the green table when the peace negotiations came on.

A SCHEME BEING CONSIDERED

There is q. 900 acres of land lying idle in France capable of producing food for 100, 900 soldiers if 2.OC0 Amer jeans can be sent to France to work it. and the plan is to avoid the boat peril Of loss by growing sustenance for American soldiers in France upon these idle lands
 This suggestion seems feasible enough; but New England is more than 2,oo0 men short in farm Iaborers and the farms of this country could give employment to 100000 more men; but tiIling the ground is not popular-it demands too long hours and too short wages.
 Instead of taking 2.000 farmers from America we need 100. .00o added to the working land forces of the nation.
 Would not the foreign production of wheat, corn, beans. potatoes, carrots and other staples could be produced for the immediate consumption of our army at the front with comparatively small cost in France be produced so much cheaper at home that nothing would really be gained by the ven- rure2
 The freight and the peril might be avoided and the soldiers given more green stuff; but Is this scheme really worth while?

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR
Democracy and Small Nations.

Mir. Editor: The United States has entered into this great war, we are told, to secure the rule and triumph of democracies, and to preserve the rights of small nations.
 President Wilson has said small ma tionalities should have a right to de- eide under what form of government they wish to live. and that oppression of small natioHalities by larger and more powerful nations must cease
 It is upon this new doctrine of liberty and democracy as announced by the president the people of smaller na- tfonalities. oppressed by larger and more powerful nations, place their hope.
 May we speak of Ireland as one of The smaller nations seeking emancipa- tion? Larger in area than Belgium, Greece, Servia. Portugal, Switzerland, Denmark or Holland, and exceeds or approaches any of them in population. When the matter of freedom and in dependence of other small nations is considered. will Ireland be forgotten?
 Ireland is part of no other land. for, God has flung round it His oceans as its boundaries. Dowered with nagnifi- cent harbors, eighteen in number, five
