[Bidea of the Home Guard has oughly permeated the minds who are desirous of offering rvices in the event of war.

E l physical ltn provide ‘a ‘means whereby men of patriotism' may offer:services that are not acceptable in other walks of mil- itary organization. There should be no confusion of ideas on enlistment in the Home Guard, or the United States army and jnavy. First and foremost in the minds of men who would serve their country stand.the two great arms of Uncle Sam’s fighting machine,—the army and the wavy. The door to either 6f these attainments is open to | men who are capable of passing the and mental examinations The examinations are strict. They are not Loo easily passed. Failing to secure a place in either onc of these organizations the National Guard of- fers the second step for ambitious cit- izens. After that there is the Home Guard. It seems all very simple, and no man after he has tried and failed should be the subject of criticism. The Army has its special work. The Navy has its ‘duties. The National Guard serves a purpose. And the Home Guard stands as'the watch-dog of the community when the more- perfect forms of fighting units will have been called to the front. BULGARIAN TRADE: After the war is over®American manufacturers will have a new field for operations’ in Buigaria. This is the opinion of Consul General Mur- ‘pPhy who writes from Sofia of advan- tages-that are bound to come In the way of American merchants: if they but take advantage of certain obvi- ous opportunities. One effect of the war will be the widening of Bulgarian lnfluenpe threughout the Balkan states. Bw its very position this coun- try offers a fleld of possibility for trade equal to some of those in the’ South Americas. Well established bureaus have already been set up in Sofia by the Austro-Hungarians and the Germans for promotion of closer economic relations between those peo- ple and the Bulgarians. The import- ance of obtaining Bulgarian trade has not been overlooked by the Germans or those associated with them. That the war has put a stop to a complete inroad by these people should prove an advantage to manufacturers on this side of the Atlantic. 3 According to the Consul General at Sofia, the Bulgarians have already stated their intention to cultivate closer commercial relations with the United States. Practically no Ameri- can goods are offered for sale on the Bulgarian market. There has never been a pair of American made shoes 80ld in the stores of Sofia. What American machines are found there have been made by one concern in this country. After the war, reports the Consul General, machinery of all |kinds ‘will be needed throughout Bul- garia. The demand will be so great that not even Germany and Austria- Hungary will be able to. supply the needs in this direction. This because they will be too busy supplying their own demands. The trade will be there. It will-require only a systemat- ic effort to get it. Enterprisiifg Amer- ican young men who are desirious of carrying the' goods of America throughout the world have here an umprecedented opportunity. At pres- ent the Bu‘lnrhns are paying high prices for inferior Russian goods. Yet, according to the consular re- por\\ if American manufacturers and shippers want Bulgarian trade, they will have to pursue a totally different policy from that heretofore followed. More liberal terms must be offered, and vexatious delays in delivery avoided. Germany and Austria usual- ly offer three and four months cred- it after delivery, and longer if neces- sary. Their traveling men go through Bulgaria with regularity. Austrian capital some years ago established the Banque Balkanique in Sofia with branches in the principal cities of Bulgaria, while German capital founded the Banque de Credit. Both are strong financial institutions. It is now announced that the Deutsche Bank of Berlin is soon to open a branch in Sofla, while a German newspaper is to be launched there. A complete printing and publishing plant is now en route. Sofla, in all probability, is destined to be an im- portant capital. Its geographical po- sition, about the center of the Balkan States, and its extensive rallroad con- nections fit it to dominate the trade of the entire Balkan peninsula. The Consul General believes thet the establishment of an American- Bulgarian bank, which has been talked of in business and” financial circles for a year or more, would con- siderably increase American prestige. Such a bank, capitalized at 20,000,000 francs, would help to gain for the Unfted States a great part of the Bul- garian trade. It would be a powerful factor in the progress of the country, the extension of its railroads, the de- velopment of its mines of coal, fron, copper, manganese, lead, zin¢, and lignite” and the improvement of its harbors, towns; and cities. One-half of the capita]l necessary for the estab- lishment of an American-Bulgarian bank capitalized as indicated is * al- ready within call in Sofla, and such an institution would unflouMly do % | Long, who' safe and most profitable business from the' start. The ‘business is there. It remains to be seen how American business men go after it. A news despatch received this morning concerned the appeal of Wil- liam Jennings Bryan to Congress to attempt to settle with the pen the dif- ferences of opinfon on ruthless sub- niarine warfare between Amerhfi and Germany. A few minutes later another news despatch ‘'was received telling of the sinking without warn- ing of a British vessel on which two American sailors were employed. Is it possible the Kaiser knew of Mr: Bryan’s plan and decided fo express his sentiments? According to Dr: E. .T. Richter, president of the Deutsohe = Gesell- schdft, which represents, 3,600 Ger- mans in Spokane, Washington, the portrait of Emperor Wiillam' of Ger- many and the German flags have.been taken xrom the walls of 'nlrnur hall in that city. German flags are to be. replaced by American flags,” 'sa&d Dr. Richter. This is as it ‘shoul, . To be entirely apiropriate the poftrait of the Kalser should give Way toithat of President ‘Wilson.

SUNDAY BILL GOES THROUGH SENATE Kiett Carries Day Despite Great, Opposition to Measure Hnrtlord. March 29.—The Sunday bill which would legalize sports and moving picture exhibitions on Sunday was adopted by the senate this after- noon in concurrence with the house by a vote of 19 to 16. ing for the bill were: Broder, Hem- enway, Koplemann, Klett, Whitney, Grady, Doughan, Neebe, Larkin, Hur- ley, ullivan, May, Hickley, Bartlett, O’Connell, Caldwell, ‘Williamson, | Mead and Lyman. The other sixteen members voting against it. Every amendment offered by senators op- 'posed to the bill was rejected on prac- tically the same vote. The bill will now go to the governor. The bill drew the largest audience in the upper chamber this session. Members of the house ranged them- selves around the sides of the room and the galleries were filled. There was a report current that in event of the bill going to the governor in the form in which it passed the house a veto might be looked for, but this was only one of many stories after- ward. Legislators seemed pretty thoroughly worked up over the changes proposed in the present Sun- day law and embodied in the bill. Senator Klett as chairman of the Judiciary committee led the fight for the “bill as it came from the house, while Senator Leonard was opposed to it and hoped it would be lost “in the shuffle.” Prospects for adjournment of the General Assembly about thir- ty days hence were consid- ered very good today as the re- sult of an inquiry of committee chair- men as to the amount of work in the committee stage on hand. Not many bills are yet to be reported, and the opinion generally expressed was that if sharp attention is given to matters now on the calendar there will hardly be enaugh business to keep the legis- lature going for thirty days., ‘The intel i was centered in the senate debate on the Martin Sun- day bill, which passed the house last week. | The Toads, bridges and rivers com- mittee has voted to report favorably the Branford bill permitting highway construction through Short Beach. The bill will give the town until Sep- tember, 1918, to act upon the issuance of bonds to pay for the improvements. The committee reported unfavorably the bills for construction of a highway in the Indian Neck section in that town. In the House. Tn the house favorable reparts were made on bills requiring lodging houses to be equipped with fire escapes; for incorporation of an elec- tric railway from Manchester to Danielson; for salary increases to the adjutant general and his office as- sistants and clerks with authority for | employment, of additional assistance in the quartermaster general's de- partment owing to the great burden now thrown upon him; an amend- ment to the law concerning the em- | ployment of women and minors in public restaurants, cafes, dining' rooms manicurjng establishments so that minor or woman shall not work between 10 p, m. and 6 a, m. and so that none shall be employed ore than fifty-eight hours a week in Such establishment; and amending char- ter of the Hartford and Springfleld Street Railway company by extending its rights in various towns. _ Senator Klett claimed that as the ouse had reflu'd to reconsider the Senators vot- ; History of the French Academy 1636- 1910, with an outlihe skétch' of the Institute of France. showing its relation to its' constituent academies, by D Maclaren ' Rob- ertson. o Rules for Recovery From Pulmonary Tuberculosis: a Layman’s Hand- book on Treatment, by Lawyrason Brown. “Probably the best book on the sub- ject for its simple, clear directions, intended as a handbook for patients and those who care for them.”—A.

A majority, In fact practically all he senators, spoke on one side or the other. those opposing the bill for the most part doing so on the ground that the changes would commercialize the Sunday. and those for the bill claim- ! ing that such legjSlation was demand- ‘ed by the trend of the times and/pub- lic sentiment for a more liberal Sun- ay.

The senate adopted the public de- fenders bill, which in its present form i provides that a judge of the superior court, thirty days prior to the term of court, shall appoint attorneys at |law who may be assigned to defend persons charged with crime who are unable to meet the expense of their own case, compensatton for such as- | signment being made upon order of | the court, Fox Bill Beaten Again. “The so-called Fox bill which aims to have parents pay for high school tuition was' rejected.
