Some Unsung Heroes.

So many are the men in all trades,
the callings deserving high place
among the worlds benefactors to-day
that many will be overlooked. The
followers OF the sea must not pass
unobserved in the throng OF heroes.
The men OF the worlds merchant
marine, of belligerent and neutral
nations, have won for themselves and
their profession honor that will be
enduring.

Against the fishermen the campaign
Of frightfulness was conducted with

Decline and Fall OF the American
Mustache,

To THE EDIroR OF THE SUN-SIr; Our
dear friend Alcide has gone wrong.
American men discarded mustAches be-
cause they considered them a nuisance
and a gem catcher. From what does
he draw the conclusion that most of us
have ugly mouths? The mustache, like
the powdered wig, is passe. a man Is
as nature made him and a batch OF
hair stuck on his upper lip does not in
any way increase his virility. The aver
age society fop usually takes pride In
a small black mustache, which he twists
when aggravated. The adherents OF
might in Germany usually covered their
faces with hai-, twisted into all sorts
Of fantastic shapes, In a vain effort to
terrorize their opponents. II man Is
willing to use his time in caring for a

doing so, but the average American ls

Dalryman Hoard.

A few years ago 1t was commonly
held that dairylng could not be sue
cessfully carried on outside Of certain
comparatively restricted sections of
the country. and that cows should be
allowed to go dry during the fail and
winter months. To-day dairying is
carried on twelve months in the
year without interruption In practi-
cally all parts Of North America. tits
a tremendous industry. highly organ
lied, served by a distinguished body
Of students of science whose labora-
tory researches applied on the farms
have contributed Incidentally to the
| welfare of the nation.
On the roster Of men to whom we
owe the modern development of dairy
ing. the name Of WILLIAM d. HOARD
of Wisconsin, who died at his home
in Fort Atkinson on Friday, will al
ways have high place. He was one
Of the first Americans to recognize that
disaster must follow the robbery OF
! the soil, one of the earliest to ignore
the long cherished opinion that organ
ization of farmers was not feasible.
and one OF the pioneers In the crusade
for modern and enlightened methods
in the COW barn and the pasture.
Hodrd's Ddiryntdn may fairly be said
to contain In Its files the complete
record Of dairy progress as 1t has been
made In this country.
Modern scientific da!ry!ng. with It's
intricate machinery and exact rec
ords rests on the Babcock test, and
Mr.. BABcoCK. after years of study of
the chemistry Of milk. butter. cheese.
and other milk products. and the init
mately associated problems Of cattle
feeding for the sustenance Of the COW
and high production Of rich. whole
some milk, completed his tester in
1890, not quite generation ago. To-
day 1t is In use all over the world, and
Its inventor has been honored with a
bronze medal presented by the Legis-
lature of Wisconsin and awards of
merit from two international exposI-
tons, one in France and one In this
country. Mr., BABcoCK and Mr.. HOARD
were both natives of New York. al
ways one OF the greatest agricultural
and dairying States in the Union. Mr..
BABCoCK was born in BrIdgewater,
Oneida county; Mr.. HOARD came from
Stockbridge, in Madison county. The
inventor Of the Babcock test had the
advantage of a thorough academic
training; Mr.. HOARD. who was Mr..
BABcocK's senior by seven years. had
to get along without this early advan-
tage. But though Mr.. HOARD lacked
the training Mr.. BABcocK put to such
distinguished use, his intellectual
horizon was always a wide one, and
he was mentally equipped for the task
Of leadership his disposition and the
circumstances his interesting life
brought to him.
1t is conceivable that no university
instructor, no matter what his attain-
ments in his speciality, could have
done what Mr.. HOARD did. Primarily.
fundamentally and continuously a
farmer, his writings and his addresses
were the expressions of Intelligent
concern for the farmers. He talked
to them as one Of themselves. not as
missionary from an allen sphere.
The methods he urged them to adopt
he had put into operation himself
He spoke from experience; when he
pointed out the decreasing fertility OF
their fields he did not speak In Stats.

tics, but in terms of wheat fields and
meadows. The detection Of a non
productive member of herd was
practical, barn yard, milk house mat
ter with him the possibilities Of stock
Improvement, the necessity Of manur-
ing the soil, methods Of marketing
milk, opportunities for cooperation
all these subjects Of to-day's popular
discussion he brought home to men
who might have refused to Listen, in
deed had refused to listen, to appeals
from those they regarded as mere
theorists. He spoke as a farmer to
farmers, as a dairyman to dairymen,
told them what he had seen and done,
and what they might see and do. He
was indefatigable In his labors; he
was as richly rewarded as lay within
his neighbors' power. The Jefferson
County, Wisconsin, Dairymens AS
ISOLATION, the Wisconsin Dairymen's
Association, the Northwestern Dairy
mems Association, the Farmers Ma
tional Congress, the National Dairy
mems Union; he established or held
high Office In all Of them. He was
Governor Of Wisconsin, and president
OF the regents OF the University Of
wisconsin.
In the town we think OF milk as
something that comes In bottles in the
cold gray dawn, at constantly rising
prices; In the country we picture the
sleek COWS chewing their cuds In the
midst OF beautiful scenery. To the
dairy farmer milk means butter fat,
cream, skim milk, buttermilk, milk
evapOrated. condensed, powdered :
sugar Of milk, cheese; the casein OF
skim milk spells bakers supplies, egg
substitutes, enamel paints, sizing for
paper, buttons, combs and countless
other articles. The COW produces
milk, but she does more. She returns
an income In money to the dalryman.
and an income not less valuable, not
less closely accounted for, in rehabili-
tation OF the soil. The herd Is doubly
useful.
Mr.. HOARD lived to be So. He lived
to sec the principles of farm manage
ment for which he contended in the
face Of thinly yelled distrust adopted
without question. He had the Suits
faction Of being a prophet honored
at home and held IN esteem abroad.
The salvation Of the nation, the
peace Of the world, depend absolutely
on the production of food. The most
alarming incident OF American life
has been the abandonment OF agricul-
ture for other industries. The most
hopeful national tendency now OBJ
servable Is the Intelligent effort to
which SO many agencies, public and
private, are contributing to reestab-
lish agriculture on the plane on which
IL belongs. This Is not to be brought

To THE EDITOR OF THE SUN-Sir: Does
II not seem an error of Judgment to re-
move ou- forces from the war front. or
any considerable number Of them, until
at least sixty days after peace has been
established?
Germany will be very much more
likely to resist the peace terms when our
troops have withdrawn. 1t would give
her Just the chance she might want to
force better terms. The war spirit is
not entirely dead in Germany. and II
might burst out in some uncomforta BILE

Let us keep our full strength there

retary of the Socialist party, Irwin St.
John Tucker, a Chicago Socialist, J.
Louis Engdahl and William F. kruse
were indicted by the federal grand
jury here today charged with OBJ
structing recruiting, encouraging dis

ney Cline, charge 26 overt acts. 1t is
charged those indicted conspired to
violate the espionage act by speech
and articles printed in certain publ
cations.
Engdahl, who edited the American
Socialist, before it was denied mail
privileges last September, now pub
fishes the Eye Opener, a Chicago So
.cialist paper. In statement tonight
he declared 'every word in the Amer
lean Socialist was put there to pro-
mote the best interests of the great
mass of people" and that if that is
unlawful then freedom of thinking in
the United States is dead"
Kruse is editor of the Young Peo-
pies Socialist Magazine, also publish
ed here.
Berger, who is a candidate for
nomination for United States senator
in announcing his platform this week,
said if elected he would work for the
passage of a resolution by congress

His platform also calls for withdraw

procure absolute. security for this
country" The Wisconsin senatorial
election will be held April 2.
Seymour Stedman, counsel for the

nouncement should be made at this
time to develop other angles Of the
case"
