FOOD MOBILIZATION
WORK WILL BROADEN

Fairfield county's food mobilization
will not alone consider crops for i'm
mediate summer use, but in its
broader scope will control the distri-
button, markets and storage Of food
for winter time and for aid Of the
allies abroad, where millions Of BUSH
els Of produce will soon have to be
shipped to prevent starvation.
At a meeting Of the agricultural
committee of the Fairfield County Re-
sources Mobilization committee, head
ed by q. F. Won Wettberg, it was
decided to spread the propaganda
throughout the farming section Of the
county as we'll as in the cities where
activity has already begun.
For this purpose next week speak
ers Will visit all rural communities,
farmers will be furnished instructions
and much needed literature on crop
conservation and will be asked to emu
merate their individual needs for COM
pi1ation by the committee.
With the work Of planting well UNI
der way it is believed probable that a
new drive will be made seeking to
have more flesh products produced
In the county. All persons will soon
be urged to raise one or more pigs
and where practical sheep and cows,
that the natural resources OF the west
may be increased to proportion that
will permit large export Of meat and
maintain an equab1e price in this sec
ton. M

HOOK TUESDAY

This is Hook Tuesday, festival
celebrated for centuries in England,
and also observed in early colonial
days in America, but now practically
obsolete. Hocktide came on the Tues
day following the second Sunday after
Easter, and on this day the women
and girls sailed forth into the streets,
provided with cords, and captured
and bound all those Of the masculine
sex they met. The men were held
prisoners until they agreed to pay a
ransom satisfactory to their fair
captors. The money thus collected
was usually turned over to the church
so that the Hocktide practice was akin
to the modern church fair, except that
the method used for holding up" the
men was somewhat different. In
some localities the women used the
ransom money to provide a banquet
for their victims, and this finally led
to the abolition Of the quaint old
custom, the church authorities hold
ing that it encouraged dissipation
and immortality.

Women and Children
Removed From Towns
In Big Battle Area

Amsterdam, April pa semi
cial statement issued in Berlin says
that the deportation Of the inhabi-
tants in the evacuated districts be-
tween Arras and scissors has been
accomplished without hardships to the
civilians. The statement adds:
1.-THE transport of their belongings
even delayed the transport of i'm
portant war material. For this rea-
son it was impossible in many cases
to remove field fruit trees, the wood
of which represents important ma
terial for our war industry. The
trees were cut down in order that
their leaves in spring and summer
might not afford cover to marching
columns against our airmen.
1.-THE male and female population
between the ages of Is and 60 were
deported. Mothers with children
under 5 remained with their chill
dren. The entire population Of st.
Buentin was transported to the rear.
AS far as possible they were allowed
to choose their own places of abode.
Objects Of value were taken in charge
by the German authorities"

ZANGWILL RETURNS
TO ZIONIST RANKS

Israel Zangwil1, the distinguished
English author, has announced his
return to the Zionist movement, from
which he has been alienated since
1905. At a meeting in London, held
several days ago, Mr.. Zangwin said
that it was almost certain that, at the
end Of the war, Palestine would fall
into the hands of the Allied Powers.
This historic event, he said, will give
the Zionists the opportunity to real
ize their deal, which is the establish
ment Of a publicly secured, legally
pie in the Holy Land
Mr.. Zangwi1 explained that he left
the Zionist movement in 1905 because
he had become convinced that it would
be impossible to create a Jewish State
in Palestine under Turkish rule. At
that time he felt it his duty to seek
some other land to which Jews, dwell
ing in lands Of persecution and op-
preston, could flee and establish
themselves on an autonomous basis.
He had therefore organized the Jew
ish Territorial Movement, which had
given serious consideration to Great
Britain's proffer of Uganda, in Africa,
to the Jews, and had investigated the
possibilities Of Cyrenaica, Australia,
Mexico, Central America and other
possible territories for a Jewish cha
ven," but had not been able to find a
suitable location. Now, however,
when Palestine was about to become
free, and there was strong possibility
that it would be given to the Jews,
said Mr. Zangwil1, he wants to do his
utmost for Zionism and give it his
full support.

J0YOUSNESS OF
FRANCE, MARKED
ASPECT OF WAR
Mayor Of Small Village
Calmly Acknowledges
Heroism of Dead Son.

Paris, April 24.-The courage, the
joyousness Of France, has been the
aspect Of the war most remarked by
Jesse Benedict Carter, director OF the
American Academy Of Rome, who
has been visiting provincial universe
ties in France as lecturer for the
Hyde Foundation:
Nowhere have I found any lack of
courage, any lack Of joy, any lack of
willingness to work for victory" said
Mr. Carter t'The joyousness of
France in this moment Of crisis is not
the superficial thoughtlessness of
those who are afraid to think. It is
the calm happiness of those who can
not fail and who knew they cannot
fail because they are seeking those
things which are not Of the earth and
must therefore continue for that very
reason, because, without them, the
earth would become a madhouse. The
greatest things are always simple and
the French today are simple as Abra-
ham Lincoln was in our Civil War.
There Is no hatred even for the
German, there is instructive abhor-
renee, but no wasting Of words over
symptoms and acts which belong in
the realm of pathological psychology.
Common decency draws veil over
these things and leaves them to the
physician who at the end will doubt
less write the verdict and give his full
skill to drawing up the post-mortem';
meantime it is day and we must work
in the day while our strength and our
courage is with us.
"Of course there Is natural objec-
>tivity about any people engaged in a
great work. They forget themselves
in the enormous importance Of what
they are doing. This is natures anes-
thetic.
"In a small village I was in the
Mayors office looking at the notices
on the walls I observed two sheets
Of paper containing the various cita-
tons of a young man who had been
mentioned in September, 1914, and
several times thereafter, receiving the
Croix de Gueere and finally dying
heroically in October, 1915. I said to
the mayor: What beautiful career!
Did you know this boy? The answer
came perfectly calmly, accomplished
by smile Of deep appreciation: He
was my son. He was a brave boy,
and only twenty
"The mayor smiled very thought
Iuily as ne SAID these last words ana
turned back to his business which
happened to be the collecting of dog
taxes, but I did the weeping for him
and wondered as I looked out on the
little village square so that he could
not see me wiping mye eyes, how any
one could doubt for a moment that
those who had conquered themselves
as these people have could fail to con-
Quer those who had lost all self-con-
troll"

THE APOSTLE OF WAR

According to Joseph McCabe, the
English author, philosopher and ra-
tionalist leader who recently visited
America, the great responsibility for
spreading the lust for war and con-
quest among the German people rests
on the late Prof. Heinrich Won
Treitschke. "a deaf little man who
lived and brooded in a world Of the
most fiery dreams that ever seduc-
ed a PROFESSIONAL heart says Mr..
McCabe Of Treitschke. Bismarck dis
covered Treitschke, and from 1875 to
1895 the little Herr Professor held
forth at the University Of Berlin. Peo-
pie from all over the empire flocked
to his lectures and went away dream
ing Of expansion and conquest. Books
and pamphlets containing his fiery
utterances were spread broadcast over
the land, and profoundly influenced
German thought. For the English
he expressed the bitterest hatred, and
the only Frenchman he admired were
dead. In addition to his professional
duties, he held the post Of historian to
the Hohenzollerns. He lauded Ger
mans in general, and Prussians in
particular, as the future rulers of the
earth. He spoke in lyric tones Of the
glories Of war, and denounced the
hope for universal peace as ''bour-
geois sentimentalism.' He said:
Every intelligent theo1ogian knows
that the commandant, Thou shalt
not KILL was not meant to be taken
literally any more than the apostolic
command to sell all and give to the
poor. There are only a few dream
ing qua.kers who do not see in what
lyrical tones the Old Testament g1or-
flies the splendor Of war" Long be-
fore Germany tore up the "scrap of
paper which guaranteed Belgian
neutrality, Treitschke wrote: TN a
great national crisis international
conventions count but little,' and
adds that, in a certain contingency,
Germany would be justified in
breaking her word He asserted that
small states had no rights which great
ones were bound to respect, and as
serted that sthe conqueror has the
right to make such disposition of
them as he sees fit, and without ask
ing their former sovereigns.''
