 Since it has been pointed out that war taxation leads to economy, and war borrowing leads to extravaganza, the vast majority of the American people are in favor of any just war taxation that may be levied. The in- come tax, if it is justly distributed, will do moro than gather money for the government It will bring home to each and every man taxed the re- responsibilities he justly owes to the land in which he. lives, A, just tax, a fair tax, will be likewise an incen- tive to patriotism.

A SUGGESTION.

All England is incensed because Germany on Saturday torpedoed two hospital ships, sending to watery graves men who were physically un- able to take care of themselves. England should by this time be immune from horror over the things Germany does and is liable to do. Innocent non-com mbatants and wound ed soldiers all come in the same class. On the two last hospital ships attacked by German submarines there happened to be some eighteen or twenty Ger man prisoners who, because of serious wounds or illness, were being attended by English nurses. That should esug- gest an idea to the English. One hos pital ship carrying British colors should be completely filled with Ger man wounded officers captive in England. The word should then be sent abroad that thD had been done, not letting it be known which hospital ship carries such . precious cargo. Then. if the Germans insist upon sinking hospital ships they might very readily be guilty of killing their own sons. Their own people would then be shown the barbarity of the sub- marine attacks on hospital ships.

III. THE FUNDAMENTAL POSITION OF THE SOLDIER,

THE YOUNG SOLDIER, BEFORE he can handle a gun, must learn how to handle himself He must learn that there are right ways and wrong ways of carrying his arms and legs, just as there are with a rifle. He must learn how to stand how to walk.
 The boy on the street usually stands on his heels, with his shoulders siouched over, his stomach thrust forward, and his spine .curving in and out like an hour-glass. Literally, he has no back k-bone.' Backbone is tho first essential of the soldier.
 The position of a soldier does not require that he shove his chest ahead Of him like a bay-window, or stiffen his head, or spread his feet painful. The position of q soldier might be most quickly and correctly obtained if a man could be taken by a hair and

FIGHTING OUR BATTLES.

Senator Mclean is supporting the administration heartily in waging war on German autocracy. In an- nouncing yesterday that he will vote for universal military service and training the senior Senator from this state said: 1T can see no peace for us or anyone else until the present war is ended in the way we would have it end, and if I am right about this it is high time we assisted those who are fighting our battles" The men who are fighting our battles at present are the men who are in the trenches of Europe, the men of the French. the English, the Russian, and the Italian armies. Our own men have not yet been mustered for the ser- vice to which they must inevitably re- spond. The debate in Congress- is waged with all the fury of a battle, Those who arc opposed to the Presi- dents idea of selective draft have built up bulwark that will be difIi- cult to hammer down; yet the idea of volunteering must be killed if the nation is to wage war in keeping with it's past history. The results df volun- teering to date are extremely dis appointing. Speaker Clark in declar- ing himself against the Administra- tion's Army bill said: 'T am for letting the flower and youth of this country volunteer before we fasten
New Britain herald., 1917-04-25

the disgrace of draft upon them" :" Jt is for the purpose of protecting the flower and youth of this country that the draft would be fastened upon them, not as a disgrace.S The flower and youth of the country may always be expected to respond to the call. The slackers and shirkers, all of military age, are the ones who will stand by and watch the flower and youth go out to battle. AS Senator Mclean points out, it is high time we assisted those who are fighting our battles. and, it may be added, those who will fight our battles.

1.-THE HOE BEHIND THE FLAG"

THE HOE ltEHlND THE ELiAO. Next Sunday morning a group of twenty-four girls of Rosemary Hall. Greenwich, will shoulder hoes and start forth to plant potatoes. On Sat-
 urday they will be taught by a com-
 petent ayriculturalist how to pare po- tatoes. ;:saeing the eyes, so that a goodly portion of the potato is left for planting. Armed with these seeds they will go about their work of helping Uncle Sam conserve the food supply of the nation. Other seminaries in Con- necticut may be expected to follow tho example set by the girls of this Green wich school. They are to devote thotr own holiday time to the work.
 It is a significant fact that the wo
 men of the nation have always served best when called upon to do the work usually allotted to men. While their brothers are at the front fighting the good women of the nation will attend to the many wants of the populace, especially in providing foodstuffs., The small garden will be best supervised by the women folk. The men who under take to plant garden may be expect ed to lose interest in the trying days of cultivation. Not so with the wo- men. Patience is their especial virtue.
 In keeping with the work started by the girls of Greenwich housewives may lend helping hand by pairing po- tatoes so that the parings may be utilized as seeds. In New York the Mayors Committee on Food Gardens has sent an appeal to all housewives to save potato parings for seed. If . little thicker slice should be taken un- der each eye of the vegetable a very fair quality of seed may be secured. In this way the shortage of potato seed which exists now may be relieved to some extent. Before planting can be done on large scale there must be the necessary seeds to plant. Here is chance for many to do their bit. The hoe is as valuable as the gun.
