Throughout the greatest Re- ublic of Europe Old Glory carries the nessage from another Republic, the emier of them all. Side by side vave the flags of France and America. It.is fitting that this is so. It is a Brilling thought to all patriotic mericans that the Star Spangled 3anner waves from all the \public ldings: and from the homes oughout France.

Assurances from the. American deration of Labor that its united trength will be thrown solidly in in the nation will also exert every energy for the country’s welfare. The transportation facilities of the country have been regulated so as to give the right of way to everything needed for the conduct of war. Men and munition for the two branches of the fighting service will receive every consideration from the railroads and steamboat lines. So, the forces of the nation are marshalled. They are being rapidly mobilized for the great good of the country. There has never been such & spirit in the land before. It is a united country. From one end of it to the other men and women, and boys and girls, are joined in the move- ment of preparation for the conflict. Seétional feeling has been forgotten. There is no North.' There is no South. No East, no West. Few are disloyal, and these are under the vig- 1lance of Secret Service men operating no one knows where. The forces of the country are mar- shalled as they have never been be- fore. Yet this is merely the start. As the days go on, there will be even bigger strides in the movement. It all comes down from the prepared- ness movement of less than two years ago. Having ‘'seen what happened to England and France when attacked by an enemy prepared for a great numper of years, the easy-going peo- Ple of this continent knew that sooner or later Uncle Sam must harness his physical, economic, industrial, and moral power. He is now doing so in a way never dreamed of in past wars. ‘When he gets ready to turn loose his great force, woe to those who stand in the way, — WE BEGIN TO WONDER. There was a time when the elegant but expressive phrase, Public Be Damned” was traced to American origin. It was thought to be the slogan of American business men selling wares to the great pur- in- “The SEE IT THROUGH !

The motley crowd of peasants in Russia recently vindicated history. = Emula- ting the example of the French people in 1791 they arose en masse and snatched the ermine from the shoul- ders of Nicholas, the Czar of all the Russias. It was a master stroke. It put the fear of God in the hearts of other users of the original phrase, “The People Be Damned.” It made Wilhelm, the 1I., Emperor of Ger- miany, put on his thinking cap, Since the sceptor was put in his hand he has ruled with an iron will. Anything he wanted dofle; was done. By the Divine Right of Almighty God he occupies the throne,—so he told the people, and the people believed him. At least they did believe. But then came the Russian awakening. it ‘Wilhelm sat on the throne by’ Divine Right did not Nicholas also wear the purple because of the same authority ? Yet the people pulled the throne away from Nicholas and put him down where he belongs,—plain “Nick.” How did that happen? And, since it did happen, might not the same thing be done to Kaiser Bill? These are the questions outsiders began to wonder if the German people thought over. The Kaiser, too, probably won- dered if his people thought of the same idea. While these things had been going on in Europe, the Russian revolution and the misgivings in the houses of the Hapsburgs and the Hohenzol- lerns, something happened in America which gave the Kaiser and his con- for worry. Like a bolt out of the blue came President Wilson’s message to the American Congress. It was asking for a declaration of war on Germany; but it implied more. It arraigned the rovalty of Burope in grand fashion. It contained a terrific indictment of the doctrine by which Wilhelm and all his ilk make their living,—the | Divine Right of Kings. It proclaimed a new message to the people of the It even went so far as to say that while we were going to war with Germany we were pot at war with the German people. It pointed out to a nicety the difference between demo- eracy and autocracy. Reciting the ! noblg efforts of the Russian people in| behalf of frecdom, it pledged the | ! for the rights of all nations, big and strength of the United States to fight little, and for the right of people who are governed to have some part in| their government. Just at that point Wilhelm, whom he himself ‘would call Wilhelm the these nations flew over the German | lines and dropped the message democracy into the trenches. And so, taking warning, Wilhelm, the 1II,, Emperor of all Germany, got busy on his Easter message. In it he men- tioned something about “A People's Kingdom of the Hohenzollern,” which is so diametrically opposed to the old doctrine of “The People Be Damned,” that we begin to wonder. Billy Sunday, now in New York, says Boston is not in it with the Big Town. And Boston gave Bill some $70,000. As Bert Williams would say, “That’s Gratitude.” FACTS AND FANCIES.

Following the arrest of Mrs. Giafalo by Detective A. J. Rich- ardson, she was arraigned before Judge James T. Meskill in police court, probable cause was found and she was bound over to superior court. In superior court, State's Attorney Hugh M. Alcorn nolled the complaint without arraignment. Civil action was then brought and a jury trial se- cured. Several days have been occupied in examination of witnesses. Denial of a plea for a non sult resulted in a continuance of the case, beginning at 10 o’clock yesterday morning. Judge Frederick B. Hungerford and Attor- ney Fred C. Bauby of Waterbury were counsel for the plaintiff while the de- fense was represented by Judge B. F. Gaffney and Attorney M. D, Saxe. Testimony was all in at 2 o'clock vesterday afternoon. Two hours each were given counsel for the plaintiff and defendant for argument. . Judge Kirkham charged the jury at 4:30. DONATE GARDEN PLOTS | | | | M. T.

It is necessary, he said, to make a national army with singleness of purpose and sympathy, responsible to the one commander in chief, and not to stoop to bickerings. FOOD PRICES TUMBLE.
