LIKE THE ARABS,

Hind-sight is, naturally, always better than foresight Looking back over yesterday it is seen that New Britain made 8 grand mistake when new National Army with a send-off ceremonial. Almost every other city in the land held a celebration of some kind. Other big cities in this state were not negligent on the same score.
 In Washington the President of the United States marched at the head of the parade. Thus the draft ed men of the District of Colum bia were given an added honor. They were led by the Commander in Chief of the Army and Navy. In New York there was a like celebration. The men there were reviewed by for mer President of the United States and two former candidates for the same office.
 There could have been some sort of an affair on a smaller scale here. The Herald suggested that this be done. That was two weeks ago and a citizens committee which set about to do this work gave it up on the ground that a public parade of the drafted men would cause too much

inous threats, rather than surrender
 her rights, she sent her ships through
 the waters infested by mines and per
 iscopes, and her sons were brave
 enough to man them though they
 knew they might be sailing to their death as hundreds of them did. The Allies military strategists say that they see no profit to their-and
 our-cause by Scandinavian partici-
 patton in the war. The fate of Den-
 mark would be sealed in less time than 1t took to lay Belgium waste. Swedish factories and mines would
 soon be slaving for the enemy. Nor ways commercial fleet would be
 great asset to Germany and the Nor
 wegian fjords would offer the most
 ideal submarine bases from which further to harass England fool move by any of the Scandinavian
 countries precipitating their entrance
 into the war on our side would en-
 barass the Allies more than is general ly realized here. By holdin~ them
 selves in check they are distinctly
 serving the cause of the Allies and
 should be praised rather than blamed. The Scandinavian people have long been living on smaller rations than we ever stand in any danger of being
 reduced to; their business life and industries are rirpled-Swedish saw mills, for instance. are shut down for lack of lubricating oils while the Norwegian deep sea fishing fleet Is laid up for lack of gasoline. They
 are carrying their share of the uni-
 versal distress, but should they be called upon to show their valor on
 the battlefield before this awful car mage is over they may be relied upon to fight like men.

THOSE WHO ARE GONE.

Yesterday there came to the Herald liter from a nearby town in which writer sent the name of his broth (now with the armed forces of tle Sam. It was explained that information was sent merely to ke certain former New Britain |. It was pointed out that in all lbability one of several other broth had already sent in the same data. bpon looking up the records here was found the name sent in yes- day in the manner aforementioned R not previously entered on the bks. The other brothers of this n. now serving with the United
 tes Navy, were negligent. Had it
 been for the one thoughtful other this name in all probability ght have been left off the roster.
 us it is seen that sometimes even others are not too careful in mat Is of this kind.
 There is one safe rule for all those 10 have relatives or friends in the
 my or the navy or the national
 lard and who want the names re. rded. That is, send in the names
 hat does 1t matter if there is du kcation? What does it matter if if en people send in the same name ke process of elimination is simple he work of asserting is not ever
 eat enough to be considered. It i
 tier that fifty blanks come in bear the same name than that no blan] Spears and that an enlisted man b rgotten. We must honor the mem <y of those who are gone to tn klors.

Boys Separate Trousers

are those in roar of our boys now gathering at the front. When the history of this war Is written it will be shown that long before the war; hoop was sounded Germany by 8 peaceful invasion had entered nearly every nation on the face of the globa. Many of her subjects were ready when the favored moment came to marshal every available force in eff. fort to crystalize public sentiment in her favor and at the same time breed dissension and distrust and render in. effective all opposition to the realiza- ton of her plans for world conquest It must be conceded that the plan was one of the most marvellous and far reaching in its effects ever finding birth in the human mind. There is but one such attempt known to the history of the world and that waa the proposition of the devil when asking Christ to bow down to him with the promise of universal em- pire-"the kingdom of the world
 The gist of the whole matter relat- ing to the above, is just this: OG1 boys now mobilizing for the front, should be assured beyond shadow ot doubt that every loyal stay-at-homa shall be definitely pledged to take care of their backs. Measures should be taken at once to determine upon whom they may depend to dissen~ mate patriotic sentiment and hold themselves in readiness for any pat triotic service required of them. By segregation of this character we shall know just where the enemy bur< roughs. They are not all Germans by any means many of the latter ara among our noblest and most loyal citizens.
 Let the stigma of disloyalty to the government of the United States rest just where it belongs, namely, pn those of every race and nationality who are not openly and avowedly loyal. To this end let's do our bit in keeping the enemy off the backs o1 our boys at the front.

TEARING DOWN THE HOUSE.

Slowly but surely the light is dawn B in Germany. The people are be- inning to understand that there can
 no peace with the outside world so ne as the House of Hohenzollern ands in it's dominating position, so ng as the castle on the hill rules the alley below. They have not come to full realization of this yet; but they re awakening to the call of Democ- acy.
 Out of Amsterdam comes the news nat the leaders in certain political (rcles in Germany are profoundly resident Wilson. We may believe he truth of these reports, just as we elieved in the first instance the tories telling of attacks made on the anne note by other newspapers in &ermany The hide-bound papers of unkartum could not be expected to sainst the god which they worship The paid penmen of the Hohenzol- erns have done their work ably and we'll. The penmen of the people may boon be expected to get in their side bf the case. Then, there must surely kome a right-about face.
 There was operating in Germany not long ago, as many will recall, a |man by the name of MaXimilian Har- den. He was the first and foremost of the journalists who championed the cause of the people. He assailed

to you by your own captain, or through him by your platoon com mander.
 The battalion is the largest unit in which an officer can make his com mands heard and clearly understood by all the men; hence, it is the larg- est unit in which there is instruction in close-order drill. Regiments, bri- gades and larger units are controlled through orders given to commanding officers which they carry out by issu- ing other commands or orders to the officers or men Immediately under their control.
 very important thing for you to remember is that this progressive training in the close-order drill is all based upon some very simple move ments which you will learn in the school of the soldier and the school of the squad. If you get these basic movem ents right so that you can per form them exactly and promptly and you ought to be able to learn this in a very short time-you need have no fear of the complicated movements of the school of the company, and the school of the battalion. In reality, these movem ents merely look more complicated, because they are carried out by larger bodies of men,
 It can not be too strongly impressed on you that the closest attention to your training during the first few days will make your whole period of service much easier and more satis- Nfactory. Don't lose your grasp on this thought. It is of the first importance. Put it into practice and it will help vo,1 tO head

TO THE CHEF.

Those folk who eat home cooking
 Can never feel at heart The thrills that come while looking
 For foodstuffs a-la-carte. To glance a menu over
 Three times or more a day In search of corn or clover,
 Or even oats or hay, Would tax the saintly patience
 Of Job, or Mutt and Jeff; It's hard to get good rations
 Unless you know the chef. For years I've done the choosing
 Of food from bills-of-fare, The while I've been a-cruising
 Here, there, and ev'rywhere. And, as the years grow fewer,
 I find 1t quite test To pick out something newer
 Than walters can suggest. I've learned, too late, I fear me,
 Digestion's ears are deaf And Appetite can't hear me
 Unless I know the chef The chefs exalted ruler
 Of all he can survey; The ks, the chops the cOOlor,-
 His subjects night and day. ! He holds the curb on roisters, They cannot sing or shout; If he withholds the oysters, 1 The party must go out. l He's quite a stately Fellow (We Upper case the "F') Your meal cannot be mellow Unless you know the chef. i My lot in life's unlucky, i I never had a wife; Although I was quite plucky When boyhood days were rife. And though I cannot try 'em, Those meals that she might cook For me three times per diem, I know just how they'd look. | Which makes me give this warning To all good fellows lef': 1 At night, or noon, or morning,
 Be gracious to the chef. JOHN J. DAILY.

not want. A Great Br1tain-Nor- wegian agreement stipulates that England is to receive eighty-five per cent of the Norwegian fish export at a certain price. The remaining fif- teen per cent of the export is mostly sold to Germans. On this, 1t may be remarked parenthetically there is no maximum price fixed and the Nor wegian fishermen revenge themselves for German ruthlessness to their com rades by exacting the highest price obtainable when they do not abso- lutely refuse to sell.
 Iron and wood pulp are now prac- tically the only returns Sweden can make for the coal which is brought right to her doors in German bot toms and which she sorely needs for her industries, homes and offices. At the same time Sweden is in urgent need of food, which she formerly re- ceived from various countries now at war: how urgent the need is Is seen by the continued food riots in many cities The war export regulations issued by the Danish government were framed with a view to keeping up the old markets of the country even at a temporary sacrifice. Be- fore the war the chief customer of live cattle was Germany: of butter bacon and eggs, England. England is still receiving fifty per cent of Dan ish bacon; Germany only fourteen per cent; although it Is claimed that the farmers lost fifteen dollars on every hog exported to England, so much higher are the prices offered in Germany. The British blockade minister has repeatedly declared that Denmark has lived up to her agree ment admirably. An embargo on fodder from this country would ne- cessitate a wholesale slaughter of cattle and the ruin of Denmark s chief industry.

 Thousands of our noble young men are hastening to the firing line in defense of our homes and principles we hold dearer than life. Their achievements will largely be deter mined by forces in their rear. To a true soldier there is nothing mere enervating or detestable or awakens more deadly hostility than the foe who turks in the home he is offering his life to defend. During the Civil war it will be recalled that, egged on by pacifists and malcontents of every sort, the streets of New York were given over to riot and blooshed Ne groes were strung to lamp posts and pandem onium broke loose. It was the crucial moment of the war; when our government was getting stran- gle hold of secession. It is doubtful if any experience of our boys at the front ever so enraged and made them desperate. They considered the open foe with whom they had to contend gentlemen compared with those at home who were virtually shooting them in the back. It was extremely fortunate for that New York mob of pacif1sts that the services of the writ CTS regiment, armed with seven shooters and rushed into the harbor from the South, were not required ashore, otherwise New York city would have had street. cleaning to be remembered.

"F,air Play" Tells How She Is Aiding
 Cause of Allies

To the Editor of the Herald:
 Editorials and clippings from other papers, containing harsh criticisms of the Scandinavian countries and their trade with the Central Powers have appeared in your valuable publication from time to time A certain New York newspaper conducting a cam- paign of misrepresentation of the Scandinavian countries was quoted in your issue of last night under the caption "Sweden's Plight, the Swed- ish Government was represented as "a practical comra de-tn arms of a power that seeks to ehslave the world" while at the same time posing Undertaking neutrality and begging United States to give relief to her furnishing people. But let 1t be re- membered in fairness that as neu- trals the northern countries do not consider it crime to trade with Ger many; they too, claim, as did we, that they have a perfect right to keep up the industries and trade relations which have taken generations to de- velop. True. dire need at home and stringent export embargoes have re- duced their foreign trade to a mini num- The Scandinavian countries
 
 with Germany. To force them to put an absolute embargo upon all exports would be interpreted as a breach of neutrality and plunge them into war. Such a disaster our humane country surely cannot contemplate. (Happily for all, the export council in Wasing- ton is in possession of more facts than the average newspaper reader). On the other hand, if we cut off all relations with Scandinavia, their people, already severely restricted by ; tickets rations would, in all probabll- ity be reduced to a state of distress not experienced since the middle ages.
 The Scandinavians have already ] made many and great concessions in friendliness to the Allies. What lit tie is now actually going from Scan- dinavia into Germany is not drop , in the bucket of the yawning need of the Central Powers.
