A new situation in the relations be- tween this country and Gerrhany was develaped with the'announcement that the American ship William- P: Frye will be brought up before' a German prize court for consideration. On April 28 the United States. wrote to Germany asking ‘that a dispensation of the Frye case.be made in this country as its owners and captain, addition to the papers relative tothe case were in this country. Ger- many had, it was understood, admit- ted that the United States was en- titled to damages on April 5 when a note was sent to this country and the action of the state department was based on this understanding. There was but little doubt that the damages would be decided here through the German embassy.

It is said, 'however, that an official communication pointed out t! the boat would not be finally disposed of despite the action of ' a prize court in declaring that the cargo was con- traband. 1t is thought in some quarters that the taking of the ship befare a prize court is mere formal- ity and that further adjustments wiil made with this - country. The state department’s latest note requests our dambassador for:information on this point and the mystery should be golved one way or another upon re- ceipt of an answer. in “Political pull and partisan politics must be driven from the police and fire departments if you are going to have efficient departments,” says Mayor Quigley.

King Albert, New Britain, Conn. May 19th, 1915. New Britain Herald, New Britain, Conn. Gentlemen,— Is it not a fact that King Albert of Belgium was once a reporter and worked for papers published in the United States. I have made this assertion and have been laughed at. Hope'you will reply to this Thursday's edition of your paper. in It is, according to all available in- formation, a fact that King Albert was once a reporter in this country. He was born in the royal family of Belgium.—Ed. Alcohol in European Armies. The European War, subjecting mil- lions of men to the irregularities and exposures of life in fleld and camp, has naturally revived inter ‘nand furnished new material for the dis- cussion of many old problems. Among | these problems is that connected with the use of alcohol by the soldiers. The time has passed when alcoholic liquors are to be regarded as insepar- able from warfare and cssential for military activities. Efficiency is now the prime consideration. Since tha last great war, scientific research has greatly increased our knowledge of the effects of alcohol on the human hody. While the physiologist has not as yet spoken the last word on thi subject, the overwhelming preponder ance of scientific evidence is in favor of the proposition that the use o! al- cohol, in any amounts, large or small, tends to impair muscular coordina- tion, to dull the special senses, to 1e- tard muscular and. nervous, reactions and mental processes, and to reduce efficiency in any work requiring rapid und accurate mental or physical effort, The question still open to discussinn is whether, in times of unusual ex- posure, strain and exertion, the tem- porarily stimulating effects of alcohol are suffi¢iently ’ valuable to compen- sate for its undesirable results, Evi- dently the military authorities of Europe think so, or are still in= fluenced by custom or tradition, since in ‘each army the regulation ration of alcohol is still provided. In the English army, 2 1-2 ounces of rum are jssued to each man twice a week. For men in the trenchc ance is increased to 3 ounces twice a week under ordinary weather condi- tions and to 2 1-2 ounces dally in very bad weather, making a minimum of 6 ounces a week and a maximum of 17 1-2 ounces. The regular ration of 2 1-2 ounces is estimated to contain 25.6 grams of alcohol. The French soldier receives daily 50 grams of rum containing 20 grams of alcohol. The German soldier is allowed. 1,793 grams of beer and 20 grams of brandy a day. The beer, which is of the ordinary lager varlety, has a low al- cohol content of only about 3.5 per cent., but this quantity would amount to a total of 70.6 grams of actual alcohal day. Austrian soldiers re- ceive each day 0.5 liter of wine, equi- valent to 40 grams of alcohol, The physiologic effects of alcohol on military efficiency would probably not be so clearly apparent in the army as in the navy. The modern battle- ship cruiser and submarine have be- come marvels of mechanical vlexity and delicacy. The soldier In the trenches might take the maxi- mum German ration of 70 grams of alcohol’ a day without impairing his ability to handle his rifle or manipu« late a machine gun. Whether the members “of the aviation corps, the artillerymen charged with handling the heavy guns, or the signal men, on whose quickness and accuracy of ver- sion much might depend, could main- tain the highest erficiency on a daily allowance of alcohol remains to be proved. There is, in the opinion of The Journal of the American Medical association, abundant testimony on the part of naval experts to show that al- cohol diminishes the accuracy of the Aun pointer on the battleship and so reduces the number of: probable hits. “Dutch courage” has heretofore been regarded as an indispensable equipment of warfare, and alcohol has been looked on as the ally rather than the enemy of the' fighting man; but the present war will reverse the opin- lons of the civilized world on a good many questions, and it is possible that com- the indispensability of alcohol in the army may be one of them. What Malthus Forgot, (New London Day.) Something like century ago a gentleman named Thomas Robert Malthus propounded the theory that, since - the reproduction of the human race progressed in geometrical ratio Wwhereas the production of food could only be increased in arithmetical ratio, there was a time coming when there would be too many people on this earth for the amount of food that the earth could be made to supply., Mr. Malthus did a deal of worrying over this subject, and while he admitted that vice and misery could be depend- ed on to ameliorate the fate of the race to some extent or at least defer to some extent the arrival of the day of starvation, he .advised folks to quit marrying and having families. The Malthusian theory has ever since been more or less in the world's mind. It Is just now, however, becom- ing rather obvious that Thomas Rob- a ert overlooked one element in the equation. He forgot that we still had with us, and were likely to have with us for some time, a certain proportion of influential persons who could be depended on to prevent the operation of his theory for a considerable per- iod at least. If he were alive today and could witness the result of the activities of a handful of European statesmen he would quit worrying about this old garth becoming over populated, So long as we have indi- viduals who by a stroke of the pen can reduce the population of a conti- nent by several million extraordinary deaths within a year we shall not have to stew much about haying more mouths on. earth than ¢carth can feed. o . WHAT. OTHZRS 3AY- Views on all sides of timely questions as discussed in ex- changes that come to Herald office. $10,000,000 for Forestry. The American Forestry association will urge the next congress to appro- priate $10,000,000, for use at the rate of $2,000,000 a year, to continue tae purchase of land in the Southern Ap- palachians and White Mountains as federal forest reserves, It is most im- portant that the money be set aside for this purpose. It means much to the future of the whole Atlantic sea- board to have several million acres of non-agritultural fand, from most of Whici- all merchantable timber has been removed, held in reserve under government ownership, protected from fire and discase and perpetuated as productive forest land. All through New England and along the Southern Appalachians there is u very strong sentiment in favor of continuing the purchase these forest-growing lands. The present appropriations for the Wurchase of lands in the Southern Ap- palachian and White Mountains will cease with the fiscal year, that is on June 30, 1915. There is now avail- able for further purchases about $1,000,000, which sum will be suf- ficlent to carry the work to near the end of 19013 The area approved for purchase by tine National Forest Ies- ervation commission; or already ac- quired, s 1,186,000 acres, the average cost of which has been slightly over $5.00 per acre with an additional ex- pense of approximately sixty cents per acre for appraisals, surveys, title ex- aminations and supervision. It is esti- mated by officials of the forest servic that \with the remaining one million dollars enough additional lands can be purchased to bring the total to more tnan 1,400,000 acres, with an average price not exceeding $6.00 per acre, The secretary repbrt to congress in mended the purchase of 5,000,000 acres in the Southern Appalachians and 600,000 acres in the White Moun- tains, The National Forest Reserva- tion .commission in its last report to congress strongly approves of that recommendation, in fact adopts its as jts working pregram, and recommends that congress cxtend the appropria- tion for purchases tarough a further period of five years at the rate of two million dollars per year. The American Forestry association for eleven years labored to secure the legislation embodied in the Weeks law, which permits the acquirement of these non-agricultural lands as forest reserves. It has closely watched the execution of the law under the Na- tional Forest Reservation commission and the department of agriculture in the last five years and the results which have been accomplished dem- onstrate fully the wisdom of the pro- gram which has been undertaken. Furthermore great good is being ac- complished in putting the purcnased lands immediately under administra- tion so that they can be protected from fire and fully utilized as national forest In view of the achievements accom- plished in the way of purchases and in the administration of acquired lands the American Forestry associaton con- siders it appropriate to give full sup- port to the Nativnal Forest Reserva- tion commission in its recommenda- tion to congress for appropriations at the rate of two million dollars per vear for.a further period of five years, This program wil be actively urged at the next session of congress. of agriculture in a 1907 recom- Invasion of the U, (Bridgeport Farmer.) The war brings its quantity of more or less plausible fiction dealing with the successful invasion of America, by a foreign power. The usual method is to picture the sudden unheralded arrival of a foreign fleet off some por- tion of the coast of the United States, preferably the Atlantic coast, and then to -describe the utter helplegsness of the American people, as the invaders land an army of 200,000 men—this seems to be the favorite number, and place the conquered territory under miiltary law, and levy upon the prop. erty of the inhabitants in approved military style, “But the lesson of the present war seems to be that such an invasion is more difficult than it was previously supposed to be. It is a long way across the ocean to the United States. 1t is but a lit- tle distance between France and Ger- many. The Russian frontiers border on Germany and Austria, The Aus- trian frontier borders on Italy. Great Britain is but a little distance away, separated by a streak of water, twenty miles wide or so, in its narrow places. Yet England has not been invaded, and Germany has not been invaded more than a trifling distance into its territory. Germany has entered Prance, but not far, and hes entered Russia, but‘only a little way And the location of Germany on for- eign soil is to be attributed principally to her quick start. Germanyv had the “jump” as the saying is. The principal lesson of the war seems to be that the problem of go- ing forward has been enormously in- creased by rapid fire weapong, and modern t-ench fighting. The ten- dency is for opposing armies to ex- tend their movements alorg an ex- tended front, but in narrow terri. tory. A small number of men, given the duty of holding a line of trenches and nothing more, can snccessfully beat back an enormous!v larger number of attackers, who must come more or less into the open, unless sapping and mining is resorted to, which is a long and tedious method. It appears that the gre:t British fleet is -exceedingly careful about its approach to the German oast, not from fear of the exit of the German fleet, which would be welcomed, but from the danger likely to be occa- sioned by submarines. On the sea too the difficulties of invasion have been greatly increased, for the risk Bristol Press. John O'Nefll, editor = of ' the New Britain Herald, has laid aside his pen, written his last copy and ceased his labors. His strong individuality, wholesome character and honest en- deavor is stilled, We shall greet him no more, for he has passed into that unknown land of silence; he has en- tered upon that last great mysterious adventure which marks the earthly close of every career, however useful, worthy and exalted, This consolation, however. remains to us: what John O'Neill wrote was dictated by conscience, fidelity to truth, idealism and genuine considera- tion for othe He was never bitter, never unkind or vindictive. He fought well and was fully competent to main- tain whatever position he took, but he fought fairly and left no sting.

(Waterbury American.) Bristol is the latest community to take exception to the naked truth. The moving picture, “Hypocrites” has recently visited the home of bicycle bells and some of the bell-makers de’ cided that it was not the sort of ple- ture that ought to he shown. The trouble seems to be that, in the pic- tures, Truth is really naked. Expos- ing the hypocrisy of mankind, she flits across the screen undraped, to be sure, but so obscured by photo- graphic trickery as to be almost in- visible. However, she has visited and departed, o the harm is done. To prevent further assaults upon the community’s virtue is now the main alm. Consequently the approaching visit of ‘“Lhree Weeks" is under seri- ous consideration and therein lies a funny joke, as any one who has seen the moving picture version of Mrs, Glyn's noted masterpiece will realize. “Three Weeks' i, fundamentally the story of a great love; an un- sanctified love; to be sure. but still great and wonderful.

The result was alarming and notorious. In making the moving picture plot the adaptors i have emphasized the portions of the ! story which Mrs. Glyn neglected and minimized th episodes which she en- hanced. If they had called the pic- ture “Paul and the Princess” it would have passed as unqguestioned as the “Shooting of ban McGraw,” or the “Prisoner of Zenda,” or a thousand other films that are coming and going day by day.
