' ' ! n CAMPAIGN FOR MORE SOLDIERS
Scheme to Hurry Recruiting of
 Company E

With practically every enlisted man In the city as a recruiting officer, Lieutenant Ashley J. Griffin of Com pany E., First Infantry, is to wage an energetic and enthusiastic recruiting campaign here tomorrow and has great hopes that the muster roll to- morrow night will include fifty addi- tional names.
 Lieutenant Griffin made arrange ments this morning for regular army examining officer and a full de- tail of recruiting officers from Hart \ ford to be in charge here tomorrow. The recruiting station at the green will be opened all day to receive eElistments and another station will be open at the armory. In addition tc the Hartford recruiting officers all enlisted men of Company are to be detailed as recruiting officers and they will try and bring in as many enlistments as possible. Both Lieu tenant Griffin and Lieutenant Harris feel that possibly the delay and un- certainty in connection with taking recruits to Hartford for examination has kept many men away. As re- suit they plan to have things so arr ranged tomorrow that any man who desires to enlist can enroll immed- istely, be examined within few min- utes and then immediately sworn into the federal service and becoe a reg l ular army man at once.
 f In addition to the personal appeal tEat will be made tomorrow for re-
 cruits the campaign for additional soldiers will be further enhanced by | tho distribution of literature and
 posters, fully advertising the need Dfl more soldiers in New Britain.

The golf players of the United States will turn farmers and raise on their links huge crops of potatoes and other food products for the use of the United States and its allies. Such is the movement set on foot by the Dunwoedie Country club near Yonk- CTS, N. Y. It originated with Freder-
 ick Upham Adams, author Nand golf CT The pictures show thev Dunwoodie golfers beginning work
 The plan of operation is simple and is declared to be practical. Dunwoodie, in common with all golf courses, has several acres of tillable soil not used for golfing purposes. The club has set this aside for cultivation. More than a hundred of the members have already volunteered to do the work of cultivation, and it is predicted that this volunteer farming corps will soon number fully 250 golfers who will try to prove themselves as efficient with a hoe as with a niblick.
 Two hours a week for twenty weeks makes forty hours work for each member, which means that a volun- ter corps of 50 members would per- form 10000 hours of farming labor. This now has a market value of not less than 80 cents an hour, an item of 5000, and the Dunwoodie farming experts predict that the muscle of their golfers will create a product which will sell for not less than $4,- 900.
 MT. Adams. President Austin L. Babcock of the Dunwoodie Country club and other originators of this movement point to the fact that there are fully thousand golf clubs ir the United States and predict that several millions of dollars will crue for war purposes from this cam paign.
 ''The Dunwoodie plan'' has the hearty support of Howard F. Whit ney, secretary of the United States Gclf association.

ATTITUDE OF THE U. s. SUPREME C. TOWARDS
 THE LIQUOR TRAFFIC

In 1847, when the majority of the judges were Democratic, there was given the first ruling of the United States Supreme Court on the question of the right to sell intoxicating liquor in these words: "There is. no inherent right in a citizen to sell intoxicating drinks. The Supreme Courts of at least 25 states have likewise declared" :"
 Other decisions of the Unit ed States Supreme Court are as follows:
 "No one possesses a consti- tutional right to keep a saloon to thus sell intoxicating drinks.
 "To keep a saloon is not a privilege of a citizen of the United States.
 "No legislature can bargain away the public morals or pub lie health. The people them selves cannot do it, much less their servants"
 In 1887, when the majority of the judges were Republican, the second ruling of the Su- preme Court of the United States was given that no per son has an inherent right to sell

intoxicating drinks. In the same year, on the question of financial reimbursement to the liquor dealers, the United States Supreme Court voiced by Justice Harlan, rendered this decision:
 ''The power which the states unquestionably have of prohib- iting such use by individuals of their property as shall be pre- judicial to the health, the mor- als or the safety of the public is not, and-consistently with the existence and safety of or ganized society-cannot be burdened with the condition that the state must compensate such individual owners for pe- cuniary losses they sustain by reason of their not being per mitted by a noxious use of their property to inffict injury upon the community"
 So then, to quote the words of recent writer: Since 1847 every man who is engaged in any branch of the liquor traffic in the United States has under stood that he did so at his own risk. When it comes to a gam bler's chance it is hardly manly to whine when he gets a gam bler's lot"

JACK LONDON ON SOLDIERS
Here is Jack London's article on "a
Good Soldier" Would you please
publish it in The Day Book and give
it all the publicity you can:
young men, the lowest aim in
your life is to become a soldier. The
good soldier never tries to distin-
guish right from wrong. He never
thinks, he never reasons, he only
obeys. If he is ordered to fire on his
fellow citizens, on his neighborsy on
his friends, on his relatives, he obeys
without hesitation. If he is ordered
to fire down a crowded street where
the poor are clamoTing for bread, he
obeys, and sees the gray hairs Of age
stained with red, and the life tide
gushing from the breasts of helpless
women. And he dare show neither
sympathy nor remorse. If he is or
dered off on a firing squad to exc
cute a hero or a benefactor, he fires,
though he knows the bullet will
pierce the noblesG heart that ever
beat in a human breast. A good SOL
der is a blind, heaTtless, sOulless,
murderous machine. He is not a
brute, for brutes kill only in self-de-
tense. All that is humane in him,
all that is divine in him, all that con-
stitutes the, man in him. has been

listment oath. His mind, aye; his

squad of ten editors to be limited to

We suggest Z cents, after looking our

That Chicago diet squad has shown
that fellow can eat on II cents per
meal, and if we can only get our
dress down to 8 or cents, life is go
