Though the national and the state

WHERE WE BEAT LONDON.

John GalsWorthy is Londoner.
He became famous as the author Of a
great play, Justice" He now bids
for fame in another way. Having
nothing else to do save study nature,
Mr.. Galsworthy took a week off in
studying the countenances of his fell
low citizens Of London. Evidently he
stood on a few street corners of old
Lunnon town and this Is what he re-
ports:
"Out of 1850 passersby, women and
men Gncluding soldiers). observed in
perhaps the best districts of London
st. James park, Trafalgar Square,
Westminster bridge and ccadlly--in
May Of this year, only 80 had any
pretensions to not heing very plain or
definitely ugly-not one in five. And
out Of the 80 who passed this quite
low standard of looks perhaps one In
thirty had what might be called
beauty--say, one out of each $50 in
ALL
After that observation by q true OBJ
server London should indeed feel I'M
comforta BILE. Four out of five men
and women who live in the city on the
Thames are definitely ugly; only one
in $50 is beautiful. No mention is
made of how many of the men are
handsome. Since the adjective beau
tiful is usually and properly applied
to Womankind it might be taken for
granted that John Galsworthy could
not find even one handsome man in
London on his rounds of the town We
can even beat that in New Britain.

can stop and that is by all the news
papers in the United States agreeing
upon a censorship that will prevent
their names being published and
| their activities Haunted before the
reading public of this country. A sup
preston Of their pictures would like
wise result in surcease Of picketing
at the White House.
Publicity is what these women want
So long as they have their names be-
fore the public they care not what
happens. A sentence of sixty days
in the workhouse Is just what they
want, provided a bevy Of reporters
f1ocks around the barred windows
and gives vainglorious "write-ups.
Newspaper stories they want, not par
dons. They are not Interested in par
dons, they are not interested in the
welfare Of the country, they are not
interested in the outcome of the war,
they are not interested in anything
or anybody but themselves and pub
licity.
If a little group Of wilful men was
guilty Of the offenses charged against
these women, tormenting the Pres
1dent of the United States in time Of
war, these men would suffer at the
hands of an irate mob some day in
front Of the White House. Being
women, these notoriety seekers have
come to the point where they believe
themselves privileged characters
Having no interest in a pardon from
these sentences it might suit them
very we'll if the President allowed
them to serve out their sentences I'M

mention That would about end their
interest In the workhouse.

FILL OUT THE BLANK.

Even though the selective draft
law is in operation today it Is not too
late to fill out the blanks appearing
in the Herald, the purposes Of which
are to secure data relative to those
already in the service.
The draft that has become opera
tive today will take 513 men from
New Britain, unless it can be proven
that more than 327 have already en-
listed from this city. The gross quota
placed at $40. That means this
number of men would have to be
called provided there had been no en-
listments up to this time. The state
officials give New Britain credit for
327 en1istments in the army and the
National Guard. That number sub
tracted from the gross quota, $40,
leaves 513. If it can be ascertained
for certain that more than 327 have
enlisted voluntarily the number Of
drafted men will be materially short
ened. 1t would seem then to the in
terest of all that these blanks appear
ing in the Herald be filled out and
returned Immediately.
In the event the number of en-
listments placed by the state statisti-
clan for New Britain is correct, and
513 men must be taken away from
here regardless of what has been done
before. the information secured by
means of these blanks Will prove val
liable in years to come. There are
many men and boys from New Bri-
tain who are now serving in the vari-
Gus branches of the military and the
city has no record of them. Fill out
a blank and help to keep the record
straight.

potato blight. This article states that
the blight, which spreads with amizing
rap1d1ty in potato fields, especially In
damp, foggy weather, can be easily
recognized by dark yellowish brown
spots turning to black which appear
on the leaf of the potato plant. These
spots spread to the stems and finally
to the tubers. The attack of the blight
is generally during the period Of Bios
soming or a little later, as at present
Furthermore, the spots grow in size
and spread. The leaves wither and
the stalks become almost bare and If
there are many plants in a field which
are affected the potatoes give off a
fetld odor. Another way to distin-
guish this blight is to inspect the
under side Of the leaves where. under
the blight spots, may be seen a whit
1sh fuzz-like deposit
The report of the American Steel
and Wire company recommends a
mixture with which to spray the
plants. The recipe as given states that
hVe pounds of copper sulphate dis
solved In about 20 gallon of water
ana mixed with five pounds of quick
lime dissolved in 20 gallons of water
may be used to make this mixture.
Inc directions advise stacking five
pounds Of freshly burned quicklime in
a small quantity of water, and, when
stacked, fill the tub while constantly
SURFING with the paddle. The actual
spraying Of the vines is left fuch to
the discretion of the user, but it is
recommended that both sides Of the
leaves and stems be covered with the
mixture. 1t is said that this spraying
delays the ripening of the potato but
increases the ultimate Weld

The strict est surveillance however. will be main- tained lest characters inimicable to the interest of the United States. be enabled unmolested to ply their nefarious trades. secret service have at present under throughout the country, and that at the nationwide arrests will be made.
 By April 2, when Congress convenes, it is anticipated that all preparations for ultimate eventualities will have been completed. The President will inform Congress of the German outrages which have been committed against American dignity and honor since the conclusion of last session The President, it is expect ed, will ask Congress for authority to put into operation for the preservation of the national entity, all instrumentali- ties of war, and to provide for any emer- gency money In the sum of $500, ,000,0 900. That Congress will instantly and unani- mously respond is a foregone conclusion.
 When such action is taken, in all re- spects save that dependent on formal declaration, the United States and Ger many will be at war. It is recognized in Washington that only on the imme- diate termination of European hostilities can obviate the seemingly unavoidable.
