WARTIME "HEckLINe".

'Heckling'' public servants in gen.
.eral. and food administrators in
particular, is the popular indoor
sport Of England at present.
In view Of the protecting barriers
thrown about American government
officials, and the atmosphere OF
tender and solicitous cooperation in
which they move. some of the rough
shOd methods OF going after infor-
nation in Great Britain are rather
startling.
Witness the following from The
London Telegraph, in telling Of how
Sir Arthur Yapp, food administrator,
was heckled:
Question: How was Miss
Marie COreln at Stratford-
Avon able to secure 1873 pounds
Of sugar, while my wife has to
wait in the rain and cold for
hours to get two and one-quarter
pounds for a family Of five?
Sir ATthur-Well, it's been
taken away from her. I do not
think she should have been able
to get It, and she won't be able
to get it in future. Every eff
fort is being made to prevent
these purchases.
Question: Are you in favor Of
instituting the death penalty for
prOfiteers? If so, what steps will
you take to see Ii carried out?
Sir Arthur-You must not put
posers to me.
Question: Why keep threaten
ing to put the nation on rations?
Why the devil don't you do it?
Sir Arthur have not threat
ened rations. Don't say anything
when you don't know what you
are talking about.
An Interrupter - Well, Lord
Rhondda does.
Question: Does Lady Yapp
line up for food?
Sir Arthur-My wife has not
had to stand in queues.
Cries Of Why not?"
Sir Arthur-Because she has
had to go without. have had no
butter or margarine for break
fast this week.
Ironical cries Of oh"
Question: Do you admit the
upper class have the upper hand
Of you?
Sir Arthur don't admit any
class has the upper hand Of me.
Question: Would Sir Arthur
Yapp call two barrels Of fresh
herrings being poisoned to kill
ten rats economy? This was
done Dec. "a, and is still being
done by a certain firm.
Sir Arthur Ito his assistant)-
Please take the names and ad-
dresses of the man who gives the
information and the firm con-
cerned and ! shall deal with it.
English voters evidently favor
direct action" in getting their in
formation. In America the question
ing Of the imperturbable Mr.. Baker
is left to the senators.
The American method certainly is
more courteous, and probably results

EHE ONE OUTSTANDING NEED,

-Four news items appearing in The
Forum last evening. when read in
the proper relation to one another,
show beyond doubt, the outstand-
kng need Of the Allies.
One dispatch told Of General
Pershing's appeal to America to
t~bridge the Atlantic with ships. 1t
was sent through Major Frederick
Palmer, formerly Associated Press
correspondent at the front, and now
an charge OF the newspaper censor
ship for the American armies, He
has returned to America for a brief
stay and made the appeal in an ad-
dress to the press club at Washing
hon.
Another item told Of the sinking Of
ahe transport Tuscania; and a third
kof the torpedoing Of the Cunard liner,
AamEAia-
A fourth dispatch quoted the
French commissioner as saying that
4he French would be prepared to
supply artillery for an American
army of 5OO, 900 men by July, provid-
nd they could get the raw material.
Ships, more ships, and still more
lships are the need Of the Allies. Men
there are, in plenty. There is no
EEcarcity Of rifles, or machine guns, or
ammunition, or supplies, or even food
ff the ships were available to go after

| But surplus wheat supplies are
useless in Argentina.
Millions Of soldiers are useless in
china without ships to transport
Them.
Unlimited supplies Of raw material
for making guns and ammunition are
useless in America without ships to
transport them to Europe.
Transportation is the neck of the
Bottle. The resources Of the Allies
.can be poured into France only as
quickly as the neck Of the bottle per-
pntts. And meanwhile American
Rafpyards are working one eight hour
shift, six days week. They should

A Convert to LIBERTY.
Erich erandies, in the Saturday Evening Pos.

When left Germany was 20 years old. obtained military
leave of absence for one year. That leave was extended for four years.
That was the limit. Every German must serve his time when he is 25
years old. Nothing can change that.
But, meantime, had settled and married an American girl. Need
less to say, German military service did not interest me very much.
Two weeks after my 25th birthday received a formidable looking doc
urent from the military commander of Berlin. 1t was my notification
that the day after was expected to report for service had been duly
tried by courtmartial on a charge of absence without leave. Tho mill
tary court had found me guilty and imposed Il sentence of Is days in a
military fortress, with the alternative of a fine of 16O marks. was to
present myself Immediately for duty.
When war was declared in 1914 again received a memorial. with
the royal seal of blue and white eagle. This time l was informed that
if reported without delay to the nearest military authority royal
amnesty would be granted to me.
have reported for duty-to this war department of the United
States: and hope that a place will be found for me somewhere.
The German system is everywhere: it concerns itself with every
thing; it works at all times. If the system decides that frign +fulncss
is the proper procedure, then nothing is permitted to stand in the way
of execution of orders.
A cobbbstone, a woman, a house. a child. a church, a cripple, a tree
an old man-al are military obstacles. The cries of stabbed noncom-
batants are horrible to the ears of a German soldier; but more horrible
is the general S wrath.
The German loves his family. He is good to his wife, aud his chill
dren are dear to him. Ii you call him a Hun, a barbarian, you misun-
dcrstand him. He is a human being; more sentimental, mere ideahstic
than most OF you.
But carved into his brain, into his heart, into his soul, are the
words that meal more to him than the Ten Commandments: Witl
God, for King and Fatherland!
That is what America is fighting for, to replace those words with
the three others-Liberty! Equality! Fraternity!

MILAN WOMEN LEARN

Milan committee on preparedness and

for women hav driven them to this.
We recommend this work to all ladies'

@ation for war propose 10 set apart a
fixed period each day in order to do
something useful. They will thus ac-
lu.re the ability to make and repair
their own footwear. They will find Il
new way TO employ their activities in
helping charitable institutions and in
many cases their own families"
AS Il result, the Milan committee
OF preparedness and civil assistance
has opened for ladies and their dough-
tiers q practical course of instruction
in making women's shoes and boots.

Sold for Mute and Musket.
From the Pittsburgh Leader.

Neville island. which has been chosen

Ague said his father settled on the

The relator of the story said his father
became SO d;sgusted with the place that
he decided to get rid of it. One day q
stranger came along on a white mule
with a musket across the pommel Of his
saddle. The man stopped at the Ague
house and the elder Ague told the
stranger his troubles. h latter Of

WOMEN FARMING IN
WESTERN CANADA
Success Has Followed All Their
Efforts.

On the train from Edmonton to Win
hipeg the writer took II seat beside n
soldier who had returned from the
front. On his breast he wore the
beautiful distinguished service medal.
One coat sleeve was urmless. and ON
his left cheek he bore ii scar that he
would carry to his grave. He had
served his country faithfully and we'll.
At the first call for soldiers in August.
1914, he fastened to the recruiting
office, leaving his 32O-acre farm, with
Its crop ready for harvest, u full
equipment OF farm implements, plenty
OF horses, and u wife. The wife should
not be last on the list for she proved
the master of the situation, and 10y
ally took hold OF the question of pro-
duction, while her husband was on his
way to fight the Hun. And she sue
ceeded. In 1915 she succeeded. and
again in 1916, and when her husband
returned in 1917 she was able to show
some contemplated farm buildings

to keep UP the period of prosperity
and provide food for the allies. The
women of Canada nave done nobly
during the struggle.
Among the most successful farmers
of the Oak Lake district, Manitoba,
are the Misses Clara and Beatrice For
ward, who, for the past fourteen years.
have farmed their own land, doing all
the regular work OF the farm, such as
blowing, seeding, summer following
and reaping. They have been espe-
cially successful with stock. and have
a splendid herd of sh%orthorns, both
purebred and grade. AT the recent
Brandon sale they purchased q new
purebred stock bull for $500. Their

tensively for grain growing. and farms
1,120 acres. She also owns some of
the finest Percheron horses in Sass
