One of the acute problems for American arising from the European war is that of a supply —of dyestuffs, which are made chiefly in Germany as coal-tar products but which can- not now be shipped because of the British blockade.

Individual enter- prise is doing its best to cope with the situation, but without assurance of protection from destructive com- petition' from Europe after the close of the war its operations must ‘be limited and confined.—Amsterdam Recorder.

(Bristol Press.) Much is heard about the matter of our manufacturers furnishing ‘‘arms and ammunition” ¥o the European belligerents, and “the ethical side of the subject recéives its full share of attention. But why confine the ques- tion to “arms and ammunition.” There are a lot of ather 'jco{xtrahund" things just as essential’ to ‘modern war as explosives, and few seem to regard the furnishing of them ta armies as in any way open to criticism. Take, for example, the matter of automo- biles. - Many Am makers are flooded with foreign aar orders. Be it remembered the agtomobiles in this war is more important. than the ma- chine gun. The fact that there have been no decisive engagements is prob. ably due more to the use of the auto and automobile tractor than to any- thing else. [ They enable large bodies of troops to be moved instantly and supplies and" ' artillery are hauled speedily where horses would be im- possible. Yet many consider it sin- ful to sell cartridges and rifles, while not saying a word about the articles that have proven'the most important factor in the war. The army today that lacks a full automobile outfit s at a most serious disadvantage. Tt might concetvably run out of ammu- nition, ‘and vet ‘avold capture, while without ‘the automobile fleet surren- der would be its unavoidable fate. WHAT OTHZERS. 3SAY Views cn all sides of timcly questions as discussed in ex- changes that come fo Herald offico. Not Peace Lovers Any Way. (Ansonia Sentinel.) There is just as much probability of Carranza, Villa, Obregon and others of the same breed agreeing on peace and a stable government as there is in cats not fighting on the back fence in the night season. Peace and Villa are not interchangeable terms. They mix no better than oil and water. And what |is true of Villa is true of the rest of the partisans, who now make Mexico their battleground. Just nc?“' the president will work out the dif- ficult problem of reconciling the fac- tions and bringing peace to the re- publii it is difficult to say. In the probable event of a refusal of the present leaders to consider the ques- tion of uniting on a stable government it will be necessary for this country to select some capable and peacefully disposed Mexican not affiliated with the present bandits and entrust him with the burden of establishing a gov- ernment and peace in Mexico. Backed by the United States and given for- mal recognition not only by the TUnited States but by all the South American republics and European na- tions such a government would be like- 1y to stand dgainst even the attacks of the combined partisans. It cer- tainly would endure if the United States should cut off the supply of arms ‘and ammunition that now flows to all of the factions without par- tiality. Intervention is always a pos- sibility but it will not be undertaken until less strenuous means have been tried and have failed. The Reichstag Defined. (New York Times.) In England, as in America, a some- what hazy notion prevails in the pop- ular mind as to the function and pow- ers of the German Reichstag. The fact that the members of this body are elected “by universal suffrage and ballot” gives a misleading idea of its democratic character. It is common to hear comment on thle proof it furnishes of a democratic principle existing in the government of the German Emplire despite the autocratic regulation of the affairs of the realm. A recently published pamphlet by Ernest Barker, entitled “The Sub- merged Nationalities of the German “Empire,” and issuing from the Clar- enden Press, Oxford, contains a chap- ter especially designed to correct this misconception. = Mr. Barker says. The Reichstag cannot control the Empire. The Empire is a federation of state governments; and it is the federal council, consisting of repre- sentatives appointed and instructed by the governments of the states, which controls'the Empire. The Reichstag a popular body, elected by direct and universal suffrage, has one real power; it votes the federal taxes. Unfortunately it is split into so many groups that the government, if only it makes concessions enough to different groups to form a majority, need never despair of gaining the taxes it needs. The Reichstag does not control the federal administration; the Imperial Chancellor, who is its head, and who presides in the federal council, is nominated by and responsible to the empero. The Reichstag may pass votes of censure on the chancellor; they do not necessarily affect his posi- tion. Dr. von Bethmann-Hollweg was as firm in his seat after 1914 as he was before. Nor does the Reichstag really control legislation. Important meas- ufes are prepared by the chancellor and the federal council; and the measures proposed by the Reichstag have to receive the approval of the federal council in order to become law. Ont the whole, the Reichstag is a debating body, which can cause the government inconvenience by its con- trol of supplies, but otherwise can do little more than indulge in innocuous expressions of opinion. This must remain the case as long as Germany remains a federation of state govern- ments. There cannot be any parlia- mentary sovereignty exercised by the Reichstag while the government of Germany depends on the will of the majority of state governments as ex- pressed by their representatives in the federal council. In any case, the Reichstag cannot control Prussia. On the contrary, Prussia controls the Em- pire. The rest of the Empire put to- gether is not much more than half the size of “Prussia. The Prussian King is German emperor; the Prus- sian prime minister is imperial chan- cellor; the Prussian army, except for the armies of Bavaria, Saxony, and Wurtemberg, is the German army. “The Empire,” Willlam I, once said, ‘“is just simply an extended Prussia.” The saying is, perhaps, an exagger- ation. Prussia, for instance, has less than half the seats in the federal council. Yet, in the last resort, the saying is true. What Prussia wills strongly Germany has to will. Possibly the “inconvenience” which the Reichstag can cause the Govern- ment by its control of supplies _is underestimated in this presentation of the facts, but the pleture clearly indi- cdtes the supeficlality of fhe arrange- ment regarded as an expression of the democratic principle. (Boston Post.) Money—which is* not of itselt wealth, but is the needful medium of exchange of wealth— is the “sinews of war,” as proven in every great con- flict the world has ever known. The present tremendous contest is no ex ception to the immutable rule. The financing of the war is playing its great part in every belligerent capi- tal of Burope; in far-off mrovinces; in the homes of city artisans and coun- try peasants. It ig not so much how brave the armies are, how well they are led, how .self-sac " people at” Home—but wha the nations have; how long those re- sources will last, and how, if at all, they can finance new additions to the munitions, the supplies, the clothing, the thousand expenses of war. Fi- nancing is today having it impressive influence on the conduct of the col- ossal struggle, and every day that influence will be more strength felt. The vast circles of steel are practical- ly deadlocked at this moment. But resources do not stay deadlocked. Sooner or later the “sinews” tell. . This is a feature of war which the United States would, if, by any unfortunate contretemps, is should be drawn into the contest, prove a factor of enormous power. Our resources are almost limitless. 1In 1912, for ex- ample, the wealth of the United States was reckoned &t $187,000,000,000. Ana that was real wealth, actual property, stocks and bonds not included. It is a stupendous reservoir upon which this government and this people could and Wwould draw in case of national need. He who thinks it would have no in- fluence upon the world war, realizes little of the value of those same _“snews” that every great captain of history has recognized as essential. There is no country on the face of the globe whose resources, actual and potential, are as great as those of the United States. Even if this country is not prepared in a military sense for trouble that may be forced upon her; even if she were not ready to repel an immediate attack—which in the pres- et case could hardly be made—she has such an overwhelming wealth in the things that make wars possible that she might and in all probability wouhld be the deciding element in any contest she might feeél herself obliged to enter. Giving Naturc a Black Eye. -New 'Haven Journal-Courier.) With the Waterbury American we devoutly trust that Connecticut may join with other states iIn legislating against an abuse which becomes vear. ly more distressinhg. It is the matter of the poster nuisance on highways. A New York daily has recorded the fact that Rhode Island and New York have put through laws to prevent the afixing of advertisements on trees and fences along public highways and on buildings or other objects open to pub- lic view without.the written consent of the owner. It is to the credit of the -National Highways Protective so- ciety that they drafted the.act which has already been accepted in two states. “‘By and by,” comments a correspondent of the American, ‘‘the ordinary man will ‘be able to see the green trees and meadows and flowers as he goes over the public roads to his job, as well as the idler who sits in the parks, or the rich, who have parks of their own.’ Like the jitney and many other painfully modern de- vices for material gain, the defacing of nature has been carried to such an extent that legislation has become necessary. It would be a great pity if the present generation were so de- voted to the material ends of existence as to be oblivious or careless of the blot on the face of nature caused by the promiscuous pasting up .n the very trees of advertisements that he who runs or rides may read. We believe that those who have occasion to note the poster nuisance—and this includes almost everyone—for the most part wish that the disfigurement of nature might be done away with. Legislation looking to this end would, we fee] certain, be welcomed in this state as it has been in Rhode Island and New York. Druggists More Secure. (Rockville Leader.) Connecticut druggists feel more se- cure now in their business .entures as attention is being called ta the new law passed at the recent session of the legislature limiting drug stores with liquor licenses to one to 3,000 popula. tion. This will prevent the opening of any more stores for business in that line for several years to come in many places and licenses will be more highly valued. If enforced, the law will make all fear the penalty for violating it, as the license would be revoked and the holder could not again engage in this business until the population had ‘increased sufficiently to allow the issuance of additional cer- tificates The. penaity for violating the liquor regulations is severe. 1t the proprietor or clerk of a drug store is caught selling illegally the license will be immediately taken away. Go Easy Bridgeport, (Bridgeport Telegram.) The Telegram has repeafedly called e si provided. The city needs a $200,000 for the erection of an ad quate plant, and the voters must thorize this bond issue, or the whole project falls to the ground. We hope that every Telegram reader who is a voter will go te the polls, and vote for commission government, and for the ice plant bonds. Vindicated! (Waterbury Republican) The Republican thought tiis was a free country and the result ofthe sc- called criminal libel suit against the editor of the Republican proves it. Though the court merely - reclared the complaint insufficient to warrant sending the case to the jury, its deci- sion and the rulings in the progress of the case planly set forth that it is the duty and privilege of news paper to criticize and comment upon candidates for public office, and upon the aéts of public officials, and that the theory of criminality set up by the state in this prosecution would render it unsafe for newspapers to perform ths duty with which they are charged by the public and in which they are now upheld by the law. The -reservation that the criticizm may be S0 venomous or so persistant as to come within the statute against brawling and mocking, and thus con- stiute a breach of the peace, is one that will be subscribed to by all cou- cscientious newspapermen. Free speech, then, is upheld, and the right of criticism of public of- ficlals for their acts, if based on prop- er information, exercized as a public duty with good intention, and not car- ried to unresonable lengths, is accord- ingly demonstrated . anew. Within these limits this newspaper has in- the | ‘past confined itself and will do so in the fyture. It charges itself with .the contihuing of duty of impartially examining and honestly appraising the character and motives of candi- dates for public office and the nature and wholesomeness of the actions of public officials. If straight thinking and plain speaking had been adjudged criminal, we would have been guilty of crime, but fortunately they were not, Farms Character Builders. (Hartford Post.) The action of the state of Connec- ticut in deciding to try the experi- ment of a farm for inebriates to be | located in Norwich is one of the most | progressive steps this staid old staie has taken for many years. .There is little doubt that the experiment will prave the worth of such an institu- tion. In other states where reformatory farms have been tried and are now being conducted they have proved to be very valuable and boys sent to them. Katherine D. Davis, commis- sioner of correction for New York, praises the reformatory farm highly. She says that the persons sent to the farm in New York have bheen re- formed and their characters built up. They have gone out clean in body, | free from the craving for stimulants | and ready to do a man’s work in the comnrunity. Physical exercise in the open ai good plain food and plenty of it, the | absence of liquor in any form, have worked wonders with these men. 1t this is true in New York and other states there is no reason to believe that the experiment in Connecticut will prove anything but a great suc- cess. Przems] Fall. (New London Day.) The fall of Przemsyl without a siege, reported with every probability of truth has been discounted as news by the events of the last few days. It has been obvious that the Russians in that part of Galicia were unable to bring into action the amount and | kind of artillery necessary to offset the rain of projectiles behind which the German Austrian forces have been advancing and that, without such ar- tillery resources, the defense of this highly important stragetic point would be hopeless. Again it is made manifest that the | failure of the British and Frénch to force the passage of the Dardanclies has been runious to Russia’s plan of campaign. Russia has men enough and organization enough and trans. | port enough to put through the ob- ject at which she has been aiming ever since the outbrcak of the war, provided that there was no let-up in the diversion on the western line, But she has not and cannot produce, suf- ficient artillery and artillery ammuni- | which she is subjected so long as it tion to meet the kind of altack . to {s carried on within striking distance of the Teutonic railway system. She depended on supplies by way of the the attention of its readers to the importance of the special election which is to be held on June 19, when the question of adopting a cvmmls-’ sion government charter for the city will be determined. = But that is not the only question to come up, nor is the presence of that question on the voting machine the only reasan why the citizens should make it a point surely to be on hand and vote. An- other matter is to be determined—a matter on which the citizens already have given two expressions of apin- ion. ' The municipal ice plant project once more requires an affirmative vote. This time the question is, shall the city issue $200,000 in bonds to pro- vide for the erection or purchase of a municipal ice and cold 'storage plant? The answer should be overwhelming.. ly. “Yes.” Twice already the city has voted hy twao-to-one majorities in favor of the building and operation of a municipal ice plant. The first election . was found to be not valid for technical reasons, and a second election _fol- lowed. = Again the ice plant project was enthusiastically ratified by .the voters. Then came a great delay. It was decided, upon advice from the city attorney, that .a charter amend- ment from the legislature would be necessary . for the operation of such a plant. _So.the sitting of the legie- lature was awaited, and the neces- sary amendment was procured. Now Dardanelles. She has not received them and the result is bound to be another general retreat. Russia is not beaten by a long way but she will not again undertake to forée the fighting on enemy teriitory | on any large scale until she has some- | thing better than promises of muni- tion supply. Meantime it is extremely fortunate for Britain and France that Italy is in the ring, Else the breakdown of the Russian offensive would let loose against their fronts a torrent of men and guns that might every seriously impair their chances of vietory, And it all goes back to the fdilure at the Dardanelles. Railroads in the Insurance Business. (New York World.) In the railroad rule requiring val- uation of travellers’ baggage and pay- ments upon values exceeding $100 we have another shining example of blundering legislation made worse hy interpretation. What is called the Cummins amendment to the Inter- state Commerce Act was hastily | passed in the closing hours of the late congress. It was designed to do away with the limited-liability clause in bills of lading and. to prohibit rajl- roads from charging higher rates when they assume full liability, un- less the lower rate is in itself unre- munerative. | Clearly enough intended to cover | Saturday 75¢ pair; good charters are there that corporations created gage in the insurance business?
