and polished English the Ideas that
nearly all Americans who speak or
write have uttered over and over
again. They might be put bluntly
aa follows:
First Militarism must be des
troyed. Second All peoples shall freely
determine their own fate.
Third Governments must act as
squarely and decently aa Individuals.
Fourth There must be an armed
league of nations to enforce peace.
There la nothing In these state
ments to occasion any surprise In
America. They are aa natural as
the air we breathe. They are a part
of our political atmosphere. We are
surprised only when we discover
that they surprise certain other na
tions and races.' which have . not
traveled so far along the road of
political evolution. Eventually, we
do not doubt, they will be accepted
everywhere. The principles on
which our our own government was
founded will be recognised and ap
plied, aa our forefathers believed
they would, throughout the earth.
That la what we are fighting for,
generously and confidently. In thla
second American Revolution, which
Is a world revolution.
"IRONSIDES'
Writing of American lads , who
had Just had their first baptism of
blood, British correspondent com
ments on their unfamiliar mental at
titude. He fonnd them atrangely stern,
with no kind of forgiveness for the
enemy. The French, who have suf
fered Incalculably more than they,
are leas relentless.
For their victor "they were 'glad
in a simple, serious way, and the
spirit shown by them oa tha British
front for the first time seems to me.
In spite of their youth, like that of
Cromwell's Ironsides, stern and ter
rible to the enemy, who to them Is
the enemy of Ood and mankind.
"Before this war la over the Ger
man soldier will cuius to know and
fear that spirit, which Is a new reve
lation on thla western front; for our
men and tba French, fierce as they
are In attack, are different In tem
perament and Inspired tty a differ
ent psychology."
Those hoys may yet be dubbed
"American Ironsides."

Full accounts have Just reached the
British geueral staff In London of the
first pitched battle between Ocruian
and British tauks, In which a squadron
of six German land ahlpa was routed
completely by the British. The battle
occurred on April 24 Bear Vllllere-Bre-tonneux,
south of the Sum me In Pi
cardy. Six German tanks appeared In front
of the llrltlsh tine shortly before noon
and started to roll up the flunks of the
British Infantry poMitlona. A cull for
help was sent to the nearest British
tank camp and a squadron, lucludlng
both "wale" and "female" tanks short
ly appeared on the scene. A rough-and-tumble
combat ensued.
The British female tanks, which ap
peared first, were outfought, but the
arrival of the heavier male tanks com
pletely changed the situation and the
Germans fled after receiving a bad
beating.
Meanwhile the British had brought
up seven of the new fast crulstr type,
called "Whippet tanks," which de
bouched and attacked the euemy's In
fantry positions on a ridge, rolling up
the German line from the north. It

(Prepared by the United Btatae Depart
. ; awnt of AsrtcuKure.) , ,
. In some sections of the coontry the
seed for better breeding stock wss out
standing when the United States de
partment of agriculture began its boys
and girls pig club work.
In such cases the pig-club agents
have practically Insisted ' that only
purebred pigs could be used In the
breeding projects. This necessitated
the Importing of registered pigs of both
sexes. The results of the demonstra
tions made by members handling these
pigs under Instruction from the pig
club leader have caused a great de
mand for pigs "just like Sonny's." The
club members' demonstrations of the
advantages and possibilities of well
bred swine when intelligently fed and
managed have caused a great Increase
In demand for breeding stock from the
purebred breeders. At first the breed
ers were Inclined to be skeptical, aa
they expected the. boys to buy regis
tered stock, allow it to deteriorate,
then offer purebred scrub pigs at meat
prices thus destroying the demand
for the breeders' pigs. The breeders
were happily disappointed and are now
lending their support and backing to
the work. ' One professor says, "Pig
dub work has created the grestent de
mand for breeding stock that this state
has ever experienced."
. Demand Registered Pigs.
In some cases the refusal of club
members to accept anything but reg
istered pigs has induced breeders to
have their herds registered In order
that they might share In the demand
for pigs by club members. A typical
case of the Influence the purebred pigs
brought In by pig-club members Is
given by a county' agent In Arkansas.
When the agent began work there
were two. breeders in the county- proi
duclng pigs of su (Helen t merit to meet
the demands of the club work... In the
Unit year of bis work, he had 85 pig
club members.- Four of these members
secured registered honrs. These boars
sired 68 litters of pigs from scrub
sows, thereby Improving the Wood of
02 pigs. They also sired 47 purebred
hogs for farmers. Farmers also pur
chased three boars and 80 sows. The
second year In the work the club had
42 members who had six purebred
boars. Tbey sired 71 litters from scrub
sows, producing 406 pigs. They also
sired 104 purebred pigs. The agent
adds, "I think I can trace seven boars
and 41 sows (purebreds) . purchased
by farmers, as a result of pig-club
work In communities, during the sec
ond year of the club." .
- ' Introducing Pursbrsda. '
'" Arkansas typifies the manner In
which purebred beeedlnf stock la be
ing Introduced Into sections where they
are needed. Last year 1300 purebred
gilts were placed with as many pig
club members.. The bankers of the
state financed the members. This yea
between 2,200 and 2,400 pigs also were
placed In a similar manner. Another
Instance of the Introduction of well
bred breeding stock and the re-establishment
of waning Industry Is tak
ing place In the free range cholera
infested section of eastern Texas. The
pig-club agent, assisted by the Fort
Worth Stock Tarda Co. and the state
and federal veterinarians, la sending
many car lots of Immunized sows to
the club members In this region where
the Industry was being destroyed by
the ravages of hog cholera. "
' Increased Swine Population.
- Demonstrations .of the sort are of
far-reaching Importance. , The swine
breeders and swine-record associations
hear witness that there Is great de
mand for purebred breeding stock, es
pecially In the Southern states. The
pig-club members take many purebred
pigs and have been a powerful stimu
lus in creating demand among tha
adults. It is interesting to note tbat
of the four states, Mississippi, Georgia,
Virginia, and Delaware, reporting In
creases In swine population on Sep
tember 1, 1017, over September 1, 1916,
Mississippi and Georgia stand second
and third In pig-club enrollment These
two states report an Increase of 90,000
hogs while the country at large shows
a decrease of 6,000,000 for the period
mentioned. , ., -,,; - , ,. , ,
