The Farmers 8-Hour Day
II Comes Before Noon-and Ii
Repeats After Dinner

To the Editor of The Tribune.
Sir: According to one of The
Tribune's prominent advertisers, "the
sap is rising in the maple trees" And
so it is, but very slowly indeed. In
fact, it did not run drop all day to-
day, but yesterday it fairly poured out
the spouts. Such are Nature and her
moods.
This morning l arose at $3.50 1--WE
farmers lie late during the winter
months), descended to the kitchen,
started fire and then off to the barn.
Fed the horses, cattle; MIXED, strained
the milk and ate my breakfast.
Breakfast being over, l am ready
for the day s work, so fed the
calves and chickens Ct carry in wood
every other morning., cleaned the
horses, harnesscd them to the sleigh,
all the while scanning the fields for
sight Of the hired man who had
promised to come and help me.
After had loaded on sap pans,
tools. ETC., Mr.. OBJECTIONABLE comes
in sight at precisely $3.50 o'clock.
We proceed to sugar bush and set to
work. At 1880 Mr.. Man informs me
that he must go to neighboring viii
lage this afternoon. So no more sap
wood is drawn this day. When l have
tapped the fortieth tree l go home to
dinner (not lunch). That is to say
cat after l have fed the horses and
ner feed the calves and chickens and
do other small jobs.
Now for the sugar bush. l boiled
down sap, cut wood, tapped thirty more
trees and quit at o'clock. Repeat
feeding process. Gather eggs, bed
down horses, Ak q, broken tie rope, and
then supper.
Now my faithful day laborcr is
probably enjoying the company of his
follows around the warm postoffice
stove.
Well, as I was saying, having eaten
supper, I take my lantern, milk pail
and calf slop and start on my way
again. Horses get their grain, cows
theirs. | milk. strain milk and do
q few incidental tasks, and presto-at

fathers, in an extreme Of brutal
POPULARITY, may even recite to the
Sunday dinner company the latest Of
Jeremy's sonnets to Mary Pickford.
1t will even be possible with a clear
conscience to continue to chastlse
young persons who when sent for
the milk daily in the lanes convers-
ing in sweet nothings with pet pigs.
Let this not be construed as lack
of sympathy for the lonely child
Opal, for example, writing her re-
markable little diary under the bed,
with the sore part uppermost. 1t is
only reminder to bewildered
parents that for one Opal whose
works are immortal there are sew
eral millions of Bettys whose re-
putes are to be saved by the burning
Of their diaries unread.

The latest Andersonism is the fol-
lowing, which was heard Sunday
evening from the pulpit of New
burgh church: "If it were possible
for New York City to dribble to
hell through beer funnel without
dragging anybody else down there
are plenty of people who would say
Let her go!'" Some day some
clergyman before allowing his edi-
flee to be used may stipulate
that Anderson shall not indulge in
rowdy talk, and then the man is 60
ing to burst through inability to
speak.

Benson Was the Man

Admiral SIMS mas named the high
official who told him: "Do not let the
British pull the wool over your eyes
1t is not our duty to pull their chest
nuts out of the fire. We would as
soon fight the British as the Ger
mans"
The man who made these extraor-
binary statements was Admiral w
$. Benson. Secretary Daniels's chief
of operations, the officer responsible
for the handling of the fleet. They
were made twice in Washington, just
before the admiral started for Lon
don, war having not yet been de-
clared, and a third time, substan-
TALLY, in Paris, six months later,
when the United States was CO.
helhgerent.
The obvious primary role of the
American navy was to cooperate
with the British fleet in maintaining
the blockade of the German coasts
and in checking the devastations of
the enemy submarines in the "war
zone" How could a wholehearted
effort to cooperate in this critical
task be expected of a strategist who
even six months after war had been
declared was still harping on the
idea that he would as soon fight one
side as the other?
Admiral Sims's description of Ad-
miral Bensons state of mind not
only harmonizes completely with
the original Wilson attitude toward
the war. but with the policy of the
Navy Department in the earlier
months of the war. The department
turned a deaf car to appeals for
immediate use of the feet in the
zone where the struggle for the safe
guarding of Allied communications
was being decided. 1t ignored the
plainest principles of sea strategy.
And the reason for this violation
OF elementary rules was bluntly
stated in the departments dispatch
TO Sims on July 10, 1917, which said
,hat while a successful termination
OF the present war must always be
the first Allied aim and will prob
ably result in diminished tension
throughout the world, the future
position of the United States must
in no way be jeopardized by any dis
1ntegration of our main fighting
fleet"
Not even the politically plausible
excuse Of protecting our coasts from
submarine raids was advanced. The
navy's inaction was frankly justified
on grounds of postwar policy.
Admiral Sims's disclosures put g
staggering burden on the President
on Secretary Daniels and on his
chief naval adviser. Can they break
the force of the case for inefliciency
and indifference in the conduct of
the war which the Sims hearings
have so convincingly built up? The
honor and zeal of the United States
as a co-belligerent have been i'm
pugned. Surely no American will
be proud of a record which will say
TO the future that in one conspicuous
case responsible agents of our gov
eminent said one thing in public
and quite another in private.

40 sAAo ooAAo "oy IuSy are eager TO
restrict the development of the Greeks.
in Epirus, the Egean and in Asia
Minor, while French sympathy with the
Greeks is of long standing.
Too Hostile Coalitions
Thus the Italians have sought to Gre
ate an alliance between the Rumanians
and the Bulgarians, and they have even
had conversations with the Hungarians.
All three Of these states are at odds
with the new Jugo-Slav state--the Ru-
manians over the Banat, the Bulgars
over Macedonia and the Hungarians
over Croatia. The Hungarians, too,
are at odds with the Czecho-Slovaks
over Slovak regions south Of the Car
pathians which have been assigned
to the latter by the Paris Conference.
I Two wholly hostile coalitions are
now in the making, while behind the
present Italian policy lies an ultimate
expectation of new alliance with Ger
many, who will share the Italian hatred
of the new Slav states and be as in
terested in the extinction of Poland
and Czecho Slovakia as the Italians
are in making impossible strong
Jugo- Slavia.
AS between the two schemes it would
be mistake to recognize Britain as
accepting the Italian or totally reject
ing the French. But the British have
policy of their own, which is not
political but economic. They believe it
is essential to world stability, as it
would be obviously profitable for them
to get Germany on her feet economi-
cally again. But the French are un-
willing to see Germany started on the
road TO prosperity before their own dew
astated industries are restored. The
BRITISH, moreover. are rather hostile
to the Poles and dead against the
ffench wish to erect a strong Poland
a. the risk cf permanent German and
Russian hostility.
Joy for Germans
Thus the British have accented Ita1-
ian support against France and the
Italians have demanded and received
measurable British support in the mat
ter of Fiuine. support which is eA
pressed in the British acceptance Of
the note warning Jugo-Slavia that un
less she yields, bowling to the will
OF Britain and France, expressed in
the last compromise, she will have to
expect the application of the terms
OF the Treaty of London.
For the Germans this temporary di-
vergence of British and French policies
is thing of joy. For the Italians there
IS promise of profit and a present
revenge for French refusal to ioin
them last winter. For France the situ-
alton is difficult and Disappointing. gut
1T may be doubted if the British will
support Italian claims very far or ac.
tually drift into an open break with
the French.
