AMERICA AND ENGLAND
BY GIDEON HOE
Of the Vioilantes.

Chester NJ. Wright, member Of the
New York Typographical union, and
managing editor of the American Al
lance for Labor and Democracy, at
present in Europe as one Of the rep
resentatives Of labor who went abroad
recently to reassure our allies of our
temper and sentiment in the war, has
been writing some very interesting re-
ports of his present experiences.
The following paragraphs are illumi-
mating. They show the rapid growth
of better understanding and warmer
fellowship between the English and
American free peoples:
'The English look to America as
to brothers; they look upon Ameri-
cans with affection. And their ad-
miration for our president knows no
bounds. When they hear the splendid
story of our trade union movement and
Its hrm position they know that Amer
lea will make good. Having made
mistakes themselves, they know we
have made them, too, and will make
more. They understand us better
than we have imagined.
"Here are two indications of the
British regard for America. The
American mission visited Warwick to
be guests for a day at the historic
castle, built in the thirteenth century.
America is as mythical to the humble
folk of Warwick town as Warwick is
to most Americans. But the mayor
ordered the American flag flown dur
ing our visit. 1t was the first time an
American flag had ever flown to the
breeze in Warwick. Last night 1 Wis.,
ited a theater-the Adelphia. A musi-
cal comedy was on the boards. Two
thirds of the chorus costumes con-
tained the American colors. There
were Uncle Sans and American cow
boys and Goddesses of Liberty. The
theaters have been doing this since
we came into the war. They overlook
no way here of showing affection for
America. America must overlook no
way of making good!
eve were on the sea on April 6, the
anniversary of our entry into the war.
The event was celebrated, and those
who spoke most feelingly for America
were Canadian and British soldiers.
"The same love for democracy and
freedom that fires America and thrills
her people inspires and thrills the peo-
pie of England. AS many as must
will die for the cause. The Hun can
never win. Civilization must and will
be saved. The free people of the
world are bound in new and indis-
soluble unity"

COMFORT TO GERMANY
BY ROBERT ADGER BOWEN
of the Viqilantes.

It has been cause for amazement
mingled with sharp regret that, dur
ing the dark days of the German drive
against the British lines in Flanders,
following that upon the British lines
in Picardy. there should have broken
out In press and public alike that mar.
row and warped antipathy toward
England, which If 1t ever was other
than ungenerous and groundless, sure
ly the debt we of America owe Great
Britain today should have silenced
into humiliated but very sihcere 10y
atty. On the contrary, there has been
far too evident disposition to attack
England. Almost, 1t has seemed, the
disposition in the present instance has
been based on a fear that was akin
to panic. The fighting quality of the
British has been openly beiittled, and
this In the face of a splendid resist
ance against all but overwhelming
odds that was being exemplified even
as these false accusations were made.
And this, 1t may be added in the face
of all that history teaches since the
days of Alfred the Great to the pres
ent years Of this most momentous of
wars.
Such prejudice in us of AngloSaxon
lineage is at any time unworthy Of
our own best traditions. Today 1t is
contemplate. If the echo of 1t has
reached Germany-and we may be
sure 1t hast is music to the ears Of
those who, however they may have
looked upon England before this war,
have learned to their cost that they
can prevail against her only by force
Of superior numbers and the insensate
power Of modern artillery-whose hat
red Of her has become tinged by a
deadly fear which is to be measured
by the horrible price Germany is will
ing to pay for the hope of victory.
For those of us In this Anglo Saxon
country whose heritage is British to
seek to defame England is truly
graceless act. 1t smacks not Of supe-
rior merit upon our own part but Of
something very different. At least, let
us reserve our caustic criticism Of her
until in this war we have done what
may be compared with whnt Britain
has SO nobly done

WOMEN SUFFERERS MAY

most unwise to allow this condition to

When the throat feels raw, half-hour

and removes the irritation. Again

MAKING SUCCESS
As HOME Gamer
Department of Agriculture Re-
duces Essential Principles
to Simple Terms.
FULL INFORMATION ON WORK
Small Children, Grandfathers and
0randmothers May Be Efficient
Soldiers In Service Of Nation
by Assisting.

Anybody who can do good house
work and who will make serious eff
fort to master some essential details
can be a successful home Gamer.
OF course, good sense and more than
ordinary care must be exercised, and
certain definitely demonstrated prin-
ciples must be adhered to.
1t Is not necessary to discuss those
principles here. The United States
department of agriculture has reduced
them to simple terms and printed them
In plain language. Full printed infor-
nation on canning may be had from
the department of agriculture by any
who care to ask for it-both general
information and specific information
on particular fruits and vegetables. In
addition to that, the department Of
agriculture has an army Of home DEM
onstrators, experts In canning. who are
anxious to give practical, first-hand in
structiOn, and one Of whom Is within
reach Of practically every housewife in
the United States.
Operation and Equipment.
The operation Is simple. Means Of
instruction are adequate and easily
available. The equipment Is neither
expensive nor hard to find. An or
dinary wash boiler with some strips Of
board at the bottom is as good a cam
ming boiler as can be found. There is
no equipment required In canning be-
yOnd the ordinary articles to be found
in the average household.
The things that must not be SC read-
lily dismissed Is the duty Of everybody
to see to it that all fruits and vege-
tables not required for immediate use
shall be canned and carried over into
the winter, to increase the food supply
Of 2 world that, for some time to come.
cannot be very far from the verge of
hunger.
There Is, as everybody knows, a
shortage Of available labor for food
production. All people cannot do all
the kinds Of labor that are necessary
to produce food. But here Is an op-
pOrtunity for those who cannot plant
and plow. harvest and gather into the
garner-an opportunity to make avail
able large quantities Of as good food
as thsre is In the world.
Housewife a. Director.
Probably the housewife. in most
cases. will have to be the director of
the canning operations. But. in most
cases. she will not have to do all, or
even the greater part. Of the labor. In
most Of the processes of canning, boys
and girls-even comparatively small
boys and girls-can be efficient help
ers. Oid persons-grandmoth who
have ceased to be active heads of
houses and grandfathers who have
long since retired from business-can
do excellent work IL helping along the
canning operations-can render as real
and a. efficient service to the nation
~ their stalwart sons who are growing
food crops or making munitions Of
war or building ships.
