PUBLICITY AND CRITICISM.

Congress shall make no law
abridging the freedom Of speech or Of
the press" so reads a clause in our
Constitution.
This Is q wise provision. The citi-
sens Of q democracy should at all
times know Of and be able to criticise
the management Of their affairs. In
vestigation and criticism in the pres
emit war have been Of great benefit
In Fastening our preparation by point
ing out errors that have been made.
There Is no doubt whatever that the
great safeguards In the conduct of the
war are almost unlimited publicity and
the right Of criticism.
We are told that constructive crit
icism Is always welcome, but who is
to decide what Is constructive? Why
not criticism without the adjective?
Most citizens believe that Universal
Military Training as a corrective of
our unpreparedness would have been
constructive, and yet 1t was not adopt
Cd. Who can tell, If 1t had been &C.
cepted when first proposed, what the
result would have been on this war!
II we had had more publicity upon
the production Of aeroplanes, shipping
and ordnance, the suggestions of think
ing men would unquestionably have
stimulated the rapidly with which
these articles were being produced,
and the delays that have occurred
might have been avoided.
There are things the Government
cannot make public, and these the peo-
pie do not ask to know. But in the
main full information concerning the
progress Of preparation can safely be
given to the people. 1t is the peoples
war; 1t Is . war supported by the peo-
pie, financially and physically, and
suggestions BY them should be sought
and considered.

MOST VALUABLE SUPPLEMENT
TO CORN FOR HOG FEEDING
THAT CAN BE HAD.
LOWERS The FEEDING COST
Buttermiik 10 About Equal in Feeding
Value To Skim Milk For
Older Hogs.

Dairymen in certain sections Of
Louisiana have a surplus of skim milk
at present for which they can not ind
a market. AS result Of feeding ex-
periments at a number Of state ex-
pertinent stations throughout the
country. 1t has been found that skim
milk is the most valuable supplement
to corn for hog feeding that can be
had. The amount Of skim milk fed
in proportion to the amount of corn
has very little effect on the final re-
suits. However. for each pound Of
corn the amount Of skim milk should
be somewhere between one and four
pounds. With young pigs, or pigs
just weaned. a greater proportion Of
skim milk will give better, results than
with older animals.
At the Ohio experiment station II
was found that hogs fed with corn
and skim milk made a gain of 20.1
pounds Of pork for every bushel Of
corn compared to q gain Of 1871 pounds
for every bushel of corn where they
wore fed on corn with rape pasture.
The animals getting skim milk also
made much more rapid gains than
those on rape pasture. In another test
It this same station hogs on pasture
and fed corn alone made an average
daily gain of 1.0s pounds per head
compared to an average daily gain OF
LES pounds made by hogs that were
fed skim milk in addition to the above
mentioned ration.
When skim milk Is fed In addition
to corn the hogs make more rapid
and cheaper gains than when corn ID
fed alone. In this connection 1t may
be well to state that one hundred
pounds Of skim milk is approximately
equal in value 70 one-half bushel VI
corn when fed in addition to corn az
compared to feeding corn alone. But
termilk is about equal in feeding value
to skim milk for older hogs. although
It is not so good for small pigs that
have just been weaned-L P. Nc

ENTENTE AIRMEN BROUGHT
DOWN so GERMAN PLANES

Operations on the western front
continue to be marked by heavy ar
tillery exchanges in conjunction with
raiding attacks on the opposing
trenches. Paris reports active can
nonades in Alsace and half dozen
forays of the Germans were repulsed
in which the enemy lost men and ma
terial. According to Berlin, the Ger
mans captured prisoners in a raid in
Flanders and in forefield engage
ments in Artois and French attack
in the Champagne broke down.
Rome reports slight artillery ac-
tivity on all the Italian front, but
that hostile aircraft Wednesday
morning renewed their bombardments
of Italian towns. The number of
enemy machines brought down by the
Entente airmen on the Italian front
from January 26 to February 6 was
fifty-six.

No Vantage Point Spared In
Attack

On the American sector in France,
the Americans are trying to even the
score with the enemy by bombarding
heavily German batteries, trenches
and other military targets. German
guns were silenced when they at
tempted to reply. The American
gunners succeeded in dispensing
large body of Germans estimated at
two battalions and inflicting losses
on the detachment.
German efforts against the French
lines at Verdun and in Alsace are
growing stronger. Infantry attacks
have taken the place of raids, but
the latest German attempts were re-
pulsed with loss by the French north
east of Verdun, at the Bois Des Fos-
ses and south Of Hartmansweiler-
kro.pf, in Alsace Small raids and the
usual artillery actions have occurred
on the British front. In Italy artil-
lery activity has been slight.

CaCeO, ana yet IL never JOSCIeS, the
means engaged are considerable.
This regularity, this strict me-
thod, this constant direction assur-
ed to work, will perhaps astonish
the French public still more when
that public knows in detail all the
United States is doing. From the
organization of Jlasitable agen-
cies to that of camps of military
concentration (passing over the
matters Of transport and the use to
which our ports have been put) the
American effort bears witness
everywhere to order symmetry and
discipline welded to prodigious and
to skilfully applied power. No use
less agitation in the effort made, no

transitory excitement; but, in a con-
slant rythm, generous and a pro-
ductiye expenditure of energy. In
shipyard as in office, in manual no
less than in intellectual! labor, the
American, all the while making his
self control. He applies himself to
lcse none of the hours he gives to
toi', to disperse none Of the springs
OF his energy. Punctuality, for ms
tance, is one of his familiar virtues,
as all those Of US who will have oc-
casion to work beside the Ameri-
cans during this war-and the num-
Der is legion!- will be able to wit
ness.
There are many more traits which
will not surprise those of us to
whom the mechanism of the Ame-
rican effort is familiar. And in
this fact we find the proof that the
German does not wholly monopo-
ize-as he pretends-the trade,
with ours, their energy in work at

since the war began, but they vii
also correct a legend which, for toe
long, has had certain currency in
France, amongst people Of our al
lies, failed to do justice to their spi
rit of method of discipline.
Indeed, whether we have been
thinking Of charity, sports industry
or commerse, we have sometimes
been inclined, now for several years
in some circles at least, and even
VIII Jle admitting the New Worlds
vitality, to picture that vitality in
correct colors. It seemed almost as
if we could not admit that an ener-
gy, so vigorously applied in all do
mains of human activity, could flow
with balance rhythm. The Ame-
rican civilization, for those who
had not studied it on its ground,
seemed sort Of nervous paroym
of energy, always interesting, but
not easily capable Of keeping time
with. our Latin rhythm.
Our prejudices in respect to the
strenuous life" of Americans were
fostered by certain misinformed or
unrepresentative travellers, who, on
both shores of the Atlantic, world
have kept the Americans and the
French from coming to an unders-
tanding of one another; if clear
sighted writer's had not come, even
before the war, to correct our vision.
The ruth, well enough known to
readers of ''Le Temps" at least, is
that the truly giant accomplish
ments of the American civilization
would never have been realized ex-
cept for the existence of a perfect
sense of organization, and an impec-
cable severity of method.
The war has come to bring to our
old world the most convincing ex-
ample of the method by which the
work, and by which they
attain the ends they have proposed
for themselves. In the field of So
