Lucius Says Something

(Livy, Booi- ELIV, Chap. 22.)
Luc:us Aemil:us Paulis, Roman
Consul, who had been selected to
conduct the war with the Ma 'edonI-
ans, B. c., 16S, went out from the
Senate house into the assembly Of
the people and addressed them as
follows:
I'm every circle. and truly, at ev-
cry table, there are people who lead
armies into Macedonia; who know
where the camp ought to be placed;
what posts ought to be occupied by
troops; when and through what pass
Macedonia should be entered, where
magazines should be formed; how
provisions should be conveyed Dy
land and sea; and when it is proper
to engage the enemy, when to lie
quiet. And they not only determine
what is best to be done, but if any
thing is done in any other manner
than what they have pointed out,
they arraign the consul, as if it were
on trial.
These are great impediments to
those who have the management OF
| affairs. + | am not one of those
who think that the commanders
! ought never to receive advice; on
the contrary, l deem that man more
proud than wise who did everything
of his own single Judgment. What
then is my opinion? That comman-
! ders should be counseled, chiefly, by
! persons of known talent, Dy those,
| especially, who are skilled in the art
| of war. and who have been taught
/ by experience; and next by those
| who ara present at tie scene of ac-
| ton, who see the county, who see
/ the enemy; who see Inc advantages
! that occasions offer and who, en-
! barked, as it were, n the same ship,
are sharers of the danger.
IF, therefore, any ole thinks
himself qualified to give advice re-
| specting the war which l am to con-
duct, which may prove advantageous
| to the public, let him not refuse his
assistance to the State, but let him
come with me into Macedonia. He

PRESIDENT in FAVOR
OF SCHOOL GARDENS
Hopes School Children Will Produce
$5OO,OOO. 900 Worth of Food.

President Wilson has written Sec
retary Lane, of the Interior, express
ing the hope that every school will
have a regiment in the Volunteer
War Garden Army"-the army of
school children that, it is hoped may
raise this year produce amounting to
100000.
Every boy and girl who really
sees what the home garden may
mean," writes the President, will,
1 am sure, enter into the purpose
with high spirits, because l am sure
are in fact fighting in France by
joining the home garden army"
In his letter, which follows, the
President approves the design of
Secretary Lane to arouse the school
children of the United States to "as
real and patriotic an effort as the
building of ships or the firing of can
non:"
My dear Mr.. Secretary:
1 sincerely hope that you may be
successful through the Bureau of
Education in arousing the interest of
teachers and children in the schools
of the United States in the cultiva-
tion of home gardens. Every boy
and girl who really sees what the
home garden may mean will, l am
sure, enter into the purpose with
high spirits, because | am sure they
would all like to feel that they are
in fact fighting in France by joining
the home garden army. They know
that America has undertaken to send
meat and -four and wheat and other
foods for the support of the soldi-
ers who are doing the fighting, for
the men and women who are making
the munitions, and for the boys and
girls of Western Europe, and that we
must also feed ourselves while we
are carrying on this war. The move
ment to establish gardens, therefore,
and to have the children work in
them is just as real and patriotic an
effort as the building of ships or the
firing of cannon. l hope that this
spring every school will have regi-
ment in the Volunteer War Garden
Army.
Cordially and sincerely yours,
WOODROW WILSON.
Hon. Franklin X. Lane,
Secretary of the Interior.
1t is Secretary Lanes idea, that is
being worked out through Commits
sioner Claxton, of the Bureau of
Education, to have five million boys
and girls of the schools in every city,
town and village in the country, cap
tanned by forty thousand teachers,
produce as nearly as possible all of
the vegetables. small fruits and eggs
for their home consumption.
To the extent that each district is
able to supply itself with these food
products, the railways will be re-
lieved of the burden of transporting 6
them, and the Allies of the United
States in Europe and our own soldi-
ers on the battlefront will get that
much more of the food of which they
are in need.
