 sun-shaped and jewel small. A circle scarcely wider
 Than the trees around were tall; Where winds were quite excluded, The air was stifling sweet With the breath of many flowers A temple of the heat. There we bowed us in the burning, As the suns right worship Is, To pick where none could miss them A thousand orchises; For thought the grass was scattered, Yet every second spear Seemed tipped with wings of color, That tinged the atmosphere. We raised a simple prayer Before we left the spot, That in the general moving That place might be forgot; Or ifan all so favored. obtain such grace of hours, That none should mow the grass

these men occupy. Many have advised them to wait until the draft is put into operation. They have that choice. They also have the choice of enlist ing voluntarily. There could be no better time to carry out the later cAoice than this week. set aside by the President as regular army week"
 Those who go in the army now will have many advantages over their
 compatriots who enlist later; more- over those who are not drafted into the national army, the men who en- list this week, will be first in line for promotion. They will, be immediately set to the task of learning all there is to be learned in the art of soldiery. With this knowledge they will be best fitted to take charge of the new men marshalled in before the complete army is organized. Starting. at 8 yearly pay of $36O. which is separate and apart from all rations and cloth- AA6s eAA0S0 AN0n IAdy SOOIl cORskAS0 SO tho rank of corporal and sergeant. The pay for these latter positions is over and above the pay of any other army in the world. Our non-com- missioned officers are better paid than those of any other nation. Also, they are at all times eligible for com missions. Men of intelligence who enlist as privates may very soon be- come lieutenants and captains.
 The appeal for recruits to the army will be successful It must be suc- cessful. America has never yet fal- len down on any job it has ever un- dertaken. And it cannot score fail- ure in this year of 1917. From theA very first day of our entrance into the war everything the United States has undertaken has been successful. First. the Liberty Loan of 1917. Then the registration of all men between the ages of twenty one and thirty-one. Then the great campaign for the American Red Cross which closed yesterday. And now, recruiting week for the army. The men and boys of this country will never. stand idly by and see Old Glory call in vain for supporters.

PUTTING FOOD ON
 A BUSINESS BASIS
That Is Purpose of Export Coun-
 cil, President Explains

Washington, June 2s.-In explana- ton of the executive order creating an export council. President Wilson last night issued this statement through the committee on public in- formation:
 Tt Is important that the country should understand just what Is in tended in the control of exports, which Is about to be undertaken, and eince the power is vested by the congress in the president. I can speak with au- thority concerning. 1t. The export council will be merely advisory to the president.
 There will, of course. be no pro- hibition of exports. The normal course of trade will be, interferred with as little as possible, and. 50 far as possible. only its abnormal course directed. The whole object will be to direct exports in such .. way that they will so first and by preference where they are most needed and most i'm mediately needed, and temporarily to withhold them. if necessary, whore they can best be spared.
 Our primary duty in tho matter of foodstuffs and like necessaries h to see to 1t that the peoples associated with us in the war get as generous a proportion as possible of our surplus, but 1t will also be our wish and pur- pose to supply tho neutral nations whose peoples depend upon us for such supplies as nearly in proportion to their need as the amount to be divided permits.
 There will thus be little check put upon the volume Of exports and the prices obtained for them will not be affected by this regulation.
 This policy will be carried out not by prohibitive regulations. therefore, but by a system of licensing exports, which will be as simply organized and admlnlstered as possible ,so as to constitute no impeachment to the normal bow of commerce..
 Tn brief. tho free play of trade will net be arbitrarily interfered with: 1t

 Juno 26, 1917. To the Editor of the Herald:
 We wish the public to know that the Universal Cooperative Society Is a voluntary association without cap ttal stock. organized as the Sov- ereigns Trading Co.,. was originally organized and as 1t was conducted for . great many years.
 It's funds are provided by its mem- bership from the sale of membership tickets. It's membership is confined to those working in the factories of ,Landers Frary q Clark. It's officers and directors serve without salary. It's purpose is to provide groceries to it's members at the lowest possible cost. It's financial connection with LandersrRrary & Clark is only that that company provides at . nominal figure the room in which tho store is conducted. The oflcials of Lam ders, Frary & Clark are by the by laws to be excluded from any ofiicial connection with the Universal Co., operative society. They may become members but other than that have no choice in the Cooperative Society.

BELGIUM,s CHAMPION.

When the Belgian mission came to this country there were many who de- plored that it's roster of names did not contain that of the venerable prelate, Cardinal Mercier. There is no man in the world who could have made a greater appeal to the Ameri- can people. loving as they do all that Cardinal has stood up for almost three years against the onslaughts of the Germans. He has refused to be silenced. He has written pastorals when the writing was fraught with dire possibilities. Yet the Imperial German Government has been power less to stop his messages to the world. He has never surrendered. he will never surrender. His is the spirit of America born on a foreign soil.
 In writing to the German Governor General of Belgium that his priests will ever refuse to have a hand In the deportation of Belgians, that they will never give indirect assistance in the maintenance of this pernicious work, that rather than do so they will pay fines ,and more fines. and then some more fines. the unconquerable Cardinal says:
 "We await our vengeance e in pa tience. am not speaking of our earthly vengeance. We have that al- ready, for the regime of occupation that you force us to undergo is de- spised by everything that is decent in the whole~ world. I am speaking of the judgment of history. of the inJ escapable punishment of the God of Justice.''
 Those words hit straight to the mark. Even if the allied forces of practically the entire world have not as yet thrown the fear of God into the hears of German oppressors hold ing forth on Belgium's soil. these words should have some effect in this direction. Those fwho believe in eternity must know that the ven- geance of the Lord of Hosts will meet the men responsible for the rape of Belgium. The Belgians can afford to await in patience for such ven- geance. It will be a just and fair one. So far as earthly vengeance goes, the Belgians. as their Cardinal says, have that The regime of occupation which the Germans force these people to undergo is despised the world over as the Cardinal through whom they speak is loved and royered the world over.

Municipal Farm Chairman Sends Out
 Another Appeal for Volunteers.
 If sufficient number of volunteer agriculturists will give the city their services between now and the middle of July New Britain will be assured of one of the largest potato crops in New England, weather conditions always being taken into consideration. Already 25 acres of potatoes are we'll up and fourishing and each day ad- ditional plots sprout until 1t will be only a few days when the entire 43 acres will be showing results. The weeds are growing just as rapidly and although an automatic cultivator is being used effectively there is an ur- gent need for men to work on the farm with hoes.
 On Friday Is men have already volunteered to work and should this number be doubled there would still be more work than they can do To- morrow a score of men could be used at the farm and If as many more vol unteers appeared on Thursday Chair man H. s. Tallard would feel that he has the work we'll in hand Until volunteers are more plentiful and show willingness to be consistent in their work Chairman Tallard will be unable to release the three hired men who are working at the farm each day. Each added expense will make the cost of the potatoes to the consumer more, so the greater the number of volunteer helpers the less the ulti- mate cost.

CONNECTICUT SHORT < OF MEDICAL MEN
State Quota for Military Service
 Is Put At 145

Hartford, June 26.-The Connecti- cut State Medical society and the Medical Section of the State Council of Defense have taken hold of the problem >of filling the state quota of the Medical Officers Reserve Corps by circular addressed to members of the profession urging them. If they are under 55 years of age. to enlist in the service.
 Provision was made in resolutions passed by the State Medical society on May 23 for protecting the practice of any surgeon who thus volunteers. The profession is put upon its honor not to attempt to steal the practice of the absent member of the profess sion, but to do everything in it's power to see that 1t Is turned over to him on his return. This is done, not in the name of the physician, but in the name of the profession. and as pa triotic duty. The following circular has been sent out by Dr. D. Chester Brown of Danbury. chairman of the Medical Section of the Connecticut State Council of Defense:
 By action of the Council of Na-
 tional Defense, Medical Section,
 the Connecticut quota of physi-
 clans needed for the Medical Of
 flcers Reserve Corps has been put
 at 146.
 The lists furnished by the
 county secretaries contained the
 names of 390 physicians who
 signified their intention of join
 ing the Reserve Corps. but of . these only IA have signed the :. applications sent them.
 The examinations are still in
 progress put at the present date
 about 80 men have been recom-
 mended for commissions.
 These facts indicate that Con-
 necticut Is far short of her quota,
 and you are urged. if you are < under 65, to indicate your will
 inaness to serve your country in
