THE TWENTY-SlXTH.

All New England is rejoicing at this
time over the return oil certain por
tions OF the 10Th division and the
coming of the remainder. This Givis-
ion is made UP Of New England men.
There is scarcely a section that is not
represented therein but whether repre-
scented or not there is not a New Eng
lander that is not proud OF the record
that this division has made. The JOY
in welcoming them home is thus all
the greater.

also in the thick of the fray, but it is
natural that all eyes in this part Of the
country should be turned at the pres
ent time upon the gallant sturdy
lighters who were so conspicuous in
those glorious days which turned the
Tide of battle.
It was in the Marine section that
this division was stationed and it was
%there that the bending back of the
-4+indenburg line took place prepare
tory to breaking it. Not only there but
ilater in the Argonne did this division
,cncounter the stiffest kind of fighting,
'but it never wavered. 1t took up the
work begun by TIE regulars and ma
rines and it made a finished job of il

RES to the cutting of the enemy's line of
communication which forced the re-
treat that was underway when the
Sr1nistice was signed.
Their service was of the highest
Their losses were tremendous and il
was fighting with this division that
the most of the Connecticut boys
gave up their lives 1t is therefore only
what was to be expected that New
England should do its utmost in well
coming home this great fighting or
ganization. Certainly the best is none
too good for them.

LETTERS TO TIE EDITOR
Some Facts About Italy

Mr.. Editor: Will you kindly permit
me to rehearse in your columns a few
timely facts about Italy, which may
well be borne in mind in the present
discussion of the terms of peace.
1. Immediately upon the declara-
ton OF war by Austria and before En-
gland had entered the conflict, Italy
notified France that she would not
take part against her in the war of
aggression, This released for use in
the first Marine campaign half a mill
lion French soldiers. This action by
Italy was not only important but in
stinctiVe.
, For fifty years Germany had
conducted in Italy an insidious and
persistent propaganda in preparation
for war, gaining control of banks, ho
tells. transportation and commercial
facilities, etc, 10 an extent which she
was not able TO do in any other coun-
try. In the face CT this undermining
of national resources. Italy in nine
months threw off the German yoke,
and, unprepared though she had been,
took her place effectively in the ranks
Of the allies
3 This was at the moment of the
failure OF the Russian Chjective when
the force an(, prestige OF Italys aid
were most needed.
/. Italy has been accused OF SCrdid-
ness because Of the agreements of the
treaty of London providing for the
restoration Of her provinces OF italian

CANNOT OVERLOOK BELGIUM.

II is indicated by reports that are
coming from Europe that the needs of
Belgium will not be overlooked in
connection with the early PREPARATION
that is demanded of Germany. Accord
Ing to one statement, although that
raay not have been fully determined,
Belgium will share in the five billion
indemnity which Germany will have to
pay.
Whether this is due to the presen-
tation to the council of four of the
situation which prevails in Germany
today by King Albert makes little
difference. There can be no question
That Belgium has been left in a state
or desolation by the retiring Huns and
IKE sections of northern France it
must get early and substantial atten-
ton if it is ever going to get back onto
its feet.
1t is well known how that little
country has been bled white by the
armies that have invaded it. how its
property has been detroyed, how it's
industries have been stripped, how it's
public buildings have been demolished,
sew its people have been killed or
carried INTO Germany how those re-
manning have been taxed to the ut
most by the Germans and it's banks
and institutions robbed, how it's ag-
Ticultural districts were damaged and
how even its very life has been sap
ped. Such drain upon small ma
ton, or any nation for that matter, is
tremendous. 1t is berfectly apparent
tnst 1T is going to require more than
ordinary attention to bring about the
needed reconstruction. That Germany
must pay for the damage it has done
Swell understood, but it is vital that
the reparation should be made to ap-
ply to such conditions at the earliest
possible moment. The ehabilitation
Of the country depends upon action OF
that kind and it can be assured none
lob soon.

BOYS WORKING RESERVE
Has Been Accomplishing Much in the
United States.

The announcement that the United
States employment service, department
of labor, has decided to continue and ex-
pand the United States boys working
reserve as one of the chief factors in ag-
ricultural production in this country es-
tablishes this organization as an essen
tial part Of the reconstruction machine.
1t is to-day, in the opinion of many food
experts, one of the most important
sources of reliable, well trained, and ply
sically fit farm help in America. In 1918
it produced enough foodstuffs TO feed a
million people for year. Its production
for 1919 is counted on to far exceed for
mer records in all the states of the union.
Through means of the largely increased
enrolment anticipated as the result of
the intensive drive to be inaugurated dur
ing the week of Jan. 20-2S, it is expected
that the production for the coming year
will far exceed the former record in all
the states.
In a booklet of information recently
sent out by the reserve, the accomplish
ments of the organization for the year
1917 and 1918 as we'll as its plans for
1919 is set forth as follows:
III bllN tdl AbLA tllC bN1S WI hAltE At-
serve carried its organization into forty
odd states; brought its program to the
attention of the state councils of de-
Tense in every state in the union; secured
the Endorsement Of the governors and
state councils of defense in all the states
of the union; modified about 100000
boys and placed them upon the farms Of
America
BY Oct. J., 1918, the United States
boys working reserve had completed its
organization in every state of the United
States, in the District of Columbia, and
in the territory of Hawaii; had enrolled
and placed upon the farms of the United
States about 100000 boys; had trained
intensiycly, through its farm craft series
and its central farm training camps,
about 10000 high school boys; and had
been indirectly the means of sending
thousands of younger boys into food
production under state auspices.
For the coming year. these are the
aims of the boys working reserve;
!. To enroll and place on American
farms 100000 boys.
,. TO afford all these boys training in
farm practice before they 20 to the

QUARANTINE ON BARBERRY
In Order to Eliminate Rust of Wheat
and Other Grains.

As a means toward eliminating black
stem rust of wheat and other grains the
secretary of agriculture purposes estab-
fishing a quarantine to prohibit inter
state movement Of the common barberry,
as we'll as other species of Berberis and
Mahonia. A public hearing viii be held
at the rooms Of the federal horticultural
board, Washington D, c., at 10 o'clock
Feb. "a, in order that any person inter
ested in the proposed quarantine may be
heard either in pergon or by attorney.
Investigations made by the department
Of agriculture have shown that the com
mon barberry and related plants are ca
pable of harboring the black stem rust Of
wheat oats, barley, rye, and many wild
and cultivated grasses throughout much
of the grain growing area Of the country
and especially in the states of Nebraska
Iowa, Illinois, Indiana, Ohio, North Da
kota, South Dakota, Minnesota, Kansas
Montana, Wisconsin, Michigan, Wyo-
ming, Missouri, and Colorado. The prev
alence of the common barberry through
out this area has been responsible to
ttHSlhti dblt htEltN tbl Aht oNfNl1At VI
the epidemics Of black stem rust that
have frequently caused enormous losses
of wheat and other cereals.
Through the cooperation of the de-
partment of agriculture with state Off
Gals, local organizations and individuals
the susceptible species of Berbers and Ma
honia have been very largely eradicated
from the states named, but these plants
are still prevalent in many of the regions
of the United States. 1t appears neces-
sary, therefore, to quarantine the states
of Alabama, Arizona. Arkansas, Califor-
MIA, Connecticut, Delaware, Florida
Georgia, Idaho Kentucky, Louisiana,
Maine Maryland. Massachusetts,, Missis-
sippi, Nevada, New Hampshire New Jer-
sey, New Mexico, New York, North Caro-
lima, Oklahoma, Oregon, Pennsylvania,
Rhode Island, South Carolina, Tennessee,
Texas, Utah, Vermont, Virginia, Wash
ington, West Virginia and the District of
Columbia, in accordance with provisions
of the plant quarantine act and to pro-
hibit or regulate the movement from
those states and district to the states
first named of all species and varieties of
barberry and Mahonia susceptible to
black stem rust

Eat to Break Up That Cold.

When a cold first starts physicians
usually advise light laxative diet, con
sisting chiefly Of hot lemonade or orange
AIDE, broths or gruels with crisp toast,
baked potatoes, mild stewed fruits and
vegetables.
After this for a few days until the cold
seems to be broken it is we'll to eat an
ordinary diet with plenty of fruits and
vegetables, To aid the body in recover
ing eat meals which give more fuel value
than usual such as the following from
the L. s. food administration
Breakfast-Oatmeal with dates and
cream, toasted mullins, poachcd egg,
matted milk.
Lmch-Bacou, toast, bacon fat and

AS Merchant Seamen Under
TuteIage of the Unit
ed States
SIX WOODEN SHIPS
TO BE UTILIZED
Two Other Vessels Are to Be
Retained for the Same
Purpose

Washington, D, c., Feb. l0.--To main
tain facilities for training merchant sea-
men, the shipping board has decided to
turn six of the wooden cargo steamers
built during the war into training ships
Over $4,000 young men have signed appli-
cations to take the courses which the
board is giving, and it is planned to add
deep sea cruisers to the curriculum.
When the new vessels are ready, the
board will release from requisition eight
of the ten vessels which We're turned into
training ships during the war. The City
of Berlin, receivingship at Boston, and
the Iris, at San Francisco, will be re-
tanned.
