The confusion has led to some
amusing incidents. Yesterday after
noon. for example, a very angry
black shirt captain protested to the
ranking American officer attached
to the "goums" in this little Cor
sican village, against being dis
armed. 1t seems that he and his en-
tire company were marching down a
hill road when two Corsican school,
boys stepped out of the bushes and
demanded that all arms be turned
over to them ION orders of the
American ma ajor"
The captain affectionately patted
the empty holster where he had
carried beretti, one of the tiny
pistols used by Italian officers for
their personal defense and which
before the armistice were the choic-
est souvenirs sought by American
soldiers. The boys at least might
have left him that, the captain COM

property and had no military value

This was the first, of course. that

affair and it soon developed that the
captain and his company of about
100 men had been victims of hold

Transportation has been a major
problem here as in all other sectors
of the Mediterranean war. It would
have been an infinitely worse prob

the Italian trucks and drivers. Their
medical service has been of the best
and the doctors have given the best

This leaves out of the picture for
the time being the actual service Of
Italian soldiers in the lines, side by
side with their so recent enemies.
The story Of this must wait until
later.

and men been put in such a difficult

With his men among the rocks. He
only brought them out of hiding
when the hated "tedesci" were driven
out by French advance troops.
Almost Wept With Chagrin.
When the two boys stepped out
OF the bushes with their bold faced
demands he was suspicious but
thought they might be patriots
working for the Americans and de-
cided to take a chance on making
fool of himself rather than risk
violating the armistice. He didn'.
even know at the time he was sup
posed to be fighting on the same
side. He almost Wept with chagrin
when he learned how he had been
tricked.
The American officer could do
nothing. He turned the captain over
to the French commandant. He, in
turn, referred him to the local
gendarmes since it was decided this
was a civilian affair. At the gem
darmle they took a detailed list of
all the stolen property and set local
sleuths on its trail They think they
know who the boys are and that
they can recover a good part OF the
loot.
The captain and his men were a
hungry bedraggled lot as they came

hiding among the rocks and we're
delighted to learn they were not
prisoners but allies. Besides, they

Both Kinds Of Men
Are Useful


The fight over the continuance of
the National Resources Planning
Board for which the House has re-
fused an appropriation after June 80,
is in more than one sense a variant
of the familiar struggle between the
men of theory and the men of eXper-
fence, or, to put it more bluntly, be-
tween the Missionaries and the men of
affairs.
To say this is not to underwrite the
contention that the NRPB is entirely
managed and stated by theorists or
Missionaries. Some Of its workers seem
to have their feet on the ground, and
Mr. Beardsley Ruml, one of the advis-
crs, is adjudged by many members
of Congress the most practical Of all
present-day thinkers on the subject of
taxation. The fight over the appropri-
alton arises not because of what the
NRPB is but because of what it SYM
bolizes.
Rightly or wrongly, this agency is.
taken as one of the symbols of the
theory and experimentation in pub
lie affairs for which the Administra-
ton is so often criticized In asking
for q larger appropriation to expand
it next year, the President was not
only moving to prepare a public
works program against the end of the
war. He was also expressing his in
terest in and preference for agencies
and men that are concerned more with
what lies beyond the horizon of the
Immediately practical than with what
is just ahead.
On the other hand, the attitude of
the House reflected Congressional
distrust of theories. Senators and
members of the House incline toward
men and agencies which think in prac-
teal terms and they Judge the NRPB
accordingly.
This underlying symbolical issue is,
of course, more interesting and more
significant than the question as to the
immediate future Of the Resources
Planning Board.
The antipathy between men of the
DRY and men Of experience runs thru
all departments of life. 1t appears in
business, in education, in the church,
even in science. Actually, while they
do not get along well together, the
world needs both kinds of men. If we
had only practical men dealing with
the facts of known experience, we
should never enlarge the boundaries
of our knowledge, and society would
become stagnant.
On the other hand, we must have
practical men to keep the theorists
from running away with things. A

VITAMTNS AND MINERALS FROM
VICTORY GARDENS

VICTORY GARDENS
Vitamins and minerals from your
own backyard to help your country's
wartime food situation and your
family's health. That is the Victory
Garden story for 1913 in brief.
This is a year when growing your
own vegetables is not only pleasant
and profitable but a patriotic duty as
well. Many more gardens and garden
ers are needed this year if Americans
are to have food to keep them fit.
The plain fact is that you will not
be able to buy as much of certain
vegetables and fruits as usual be-
cause they won't be on the market to
buy. AS for canned goods, Uncle Sam
has already figured on taking half of
all the vegetables commercially
canned in 1913. So Americans are
going to need all the food they can
grow on six million farms and II or
even Is million backwards and vacant
lolS' mere Is no danger whatsoever
Oh producing 700 much'
The farm people are bearing the
brunt of this great job. Millions of
tons Of the food that farms will pro-
duce are already ear-mMked-one-
fourth to go to our armed forces and
allies. Our soldiers and the men fight
ing with them will have first call ON
food. And a soldier eats twice as much
as the average civilian. But people on
the home front need to be well fed,
too-and most OF them are working
harder than ever before. So there has
to be enough food for our own boys
for the starving people OF liberated
countries, for our allies, and for our
civilian population. To keep them sup
piled with the food they need will not
