FUTURE OF TRAINING
CORPS is DISCUSSED
Cessation of Hostilities Not to In
terfere With Program at
6. W. University.

Cessation Of hosti1ities with the
signing Of the armistice will not in
terfere with the present program of
the George Washington University
unit of the Students Army Train
ing Corps. according to announce
ment by university officials.
The end of the war renders I'M
necessary the induction of additional
men into the military service. 1t is
pointed out that if the S. A. T. c.
is continued the War Department
will be spending money for the
training of men that it will be I'M
able to use.
Some advocates Of universal mill
tary training may urge the continu-
ance of the s; A. 7. G. as a part OF
a program of military preparedness
for the future. 1t is doubtful, how
ever, IL their arguments will meet
with much support in view of the
popular adherence of anything that
smacks in the slightest of militar-
ism.
While the s. A. T. c. courses are
tural subjects as we'll as military
subjects, the curriculum in practice
lays virtually all stress upon military
subjects. The student is given only
a smattering of the regular academic
subjects.
Because Of this fact, it is probable
that before long the War Depart
T. C. or will alter the curriculum sc
as to reduce the number of military
subjects and increase the number OF
cultural subjects.

There was a growing disposition
when the meeting was resumed to
withhold definite action in regard to
base ball next season until the plans
Of the American and National leagues
are revealed. Thomas M. Chivington,
business manager of the Louisville
club, and former president OF the

those who shared the opinion that no
definite action for the resumption OF
the national game in 1919 should ne
taken for at least three months.

M. H Sexton of Rock Island. Ill,
president of the national association,
declared himself in favor of postpon-
ing definite action. He believes that
in the event professional base ball is
resumed next season fewer than half
a dozen leagues will take the field.
John H. Farrell of Auburn, N. Y,
president of the International League;
President Thomas j. Hickey of the
American Association and Dan O'Neill,
president of the Eastern League, are
among the executives favoring base
ball for next season.

cities looking towards the formation
of emergency organizations similar to
those in Bridgeport and New Haven.
The cities of Hartford, Waterbury,

ties where the plan should be adopted.

as thoroughly American as the Ameri-

the potato is one Of the chief foods
now sustaining Germany and that
the other European countries are large
~ dependent upon it, its Importance
in the war may readily be seen Yet
the potato was not known abroad
until the end Of the sixteenth century
when both the English and Spanish
introduced it from their American
colonies.
"Americans first realized how I'M
portant a part in their daily food the
potato played when last year a scar
city of this vegetable drove its prices
to prohibitive heights. The result OF
those sky high prices still has its eff
feet this season. Then the spring
came, everyone planted potatoes. The
farmer was particularly urged to lay
out his land in potatoes as a patriot
ic duty. Accordingly, although the
average yield per acre was not large,
there was an abundance of potatoes
produced which have not been sold
THE farmer had to pay high prices
for his seed. It was difficult to OBJ
tain labor for tending and digging the
crop and what labor he did procure
cost him two or three times as much
as ordinarily. A large item of ex-
pense was the fertilizer which has ad-
vanced in price because the acids it
contains are being used for munition
making.
"As a result, many a farmer who is
selling his potatoes for about one
dollar a bushel, claims he is not maxi
ing more than he did several years
ago when potatoes retailed for fifty
cents a bushel. They should GER
tainly be encouraged to plant pota-
toes next year by consumption of tn"

EAT POTATOES and
save THE WHEAT
Robert SCoville Says Allies Must
Have Food Supply

Hartford, April ts.-"By eating
potatoes instead of wheat, the people
Of Connecticut can help win the war
as we'll as by purchasing Liberty
Bonds and contributing to the Red
Cross. said Administrator Robert
Scoville today regarding the nation
wide potato campaign.
THE situation. in brief, is this We
have not enough wheat for our Al
lies and ourselves We have an
abundance Of potatoes, an excess Of
100000 bushels over normal times
If we are to win this war the Allies
must have wheat. The potato can
not quite come up to wheat in food
value but it does come about as close
to taking the place Of wheat as any
other food. Therefore, by eating
potatoes we can save wheat for the
allies. Here in Connecticut we have
q surplus Of potatoes sufficient to
supply every family with one bushel
"Americans should rally to the
support of the potato, for, like corn,
it is a native Of this continent and is
