IN THE BUD. n we remember what happened hington, the capital of the , when the British -actually ed the capitol building, the stu- pus plot of Prussian intriguers to the President of the United and carry him off as a hostage to be taken lightly. On the it, this ambitioys scheme, ex- _r by a German prisoner in New jek. seems: foalish. Looked at in way it is not as ridiculous as Nor is the other part of the m to be dismissed withouticon- tion, namely, thé capture of York, Washington, and Boston, y invasion of Canada via the States.

Itis known that a counter revolution is in the course of formation if it does not actually exist. Russia’s troubles did not cease with the abdication of Nicholas Ro- manocoff. The men at the head of the new. government, while sincere and honest,” are “not schooled in the in- tricate problems that confront a de- mocracy. Even were they experienced masters of all the many details of the new form of goveryment they are sadly handicapped by internal dissen- sion, stirred up by agents in the pay of a foreign government. With the inspiration that Elihu Root and his associates will bring from the United States the conditions in Russia should be vastly improved. There is perhaps no statesman in the world better fitted to the task of aiding Russia on its career as a Re- ‘Public than this- same Elihu * Root. Few men have the qualifications he possesses. Upon his success to impart his knowledge to Russian statesmen must depend the success of the new republic. Russia’'s fate hangs in the ‘balance. Her government, insecure at present, must be bolstered up by America.and the genius that repre- sents America. AT IT AGAT Germany's Submarine: campaign, thought many to be somewhat curbed, is breaking out anew. The last weekly statement of-British ves- sels sunk, given out in London last night, shows that for{y vessels of more than 1,600 tons each, fiftecen under 1,600 tons, and nine fishing vessels were sent to the bottom by mines and submarines,—a total of sixty-four losses in ofie week. ‘There were 2,586 arrivals at Brit- ish ports. There were 2,621 sajlings. Twenty-seven vVessels were unsuccess- fully attacked. This part of the re- port is encouraging. It must be noted, however, that the list of vessels lost is the longest made public by the British government since it instituted the custom of publishing weekly statements of shipping losscs. Also it must be remembered there were other losses than those suffered by the Brit- ish. Ships belonging to England's Allies have been sent to the bottom along with a number of neutral ves- sels. The submarine campaign is ap- proaching the open season. With the fair weather of Summer, the seas will be calmer and more readily available by 1%} for a ruthless campaign by the under- sea boats. < These things considered in_the light of what has happened in the past tend to cast a gloom over the situation unless Unele Sam takes & more active part in.the suppression of the submarine menace. ERRE R el Of the eleven men appointed last night by Governor Holcomb as mem- bers of the state council of defense there is not one who is not eminently suited for such work. The committee as it now stal\ds is made up of men from every political party in the state, thereby insuring a non-biased support of the state’s best interests. Capital and labor are well represented, ihus making it impossible to jeopardize the welfare of any man. There is great work ahead for the Connecticut Council of Defense. It will work hand in hand with the National Council. It has before it an array: of duties that will challenge the ability of each and every member of the council. The lives and property of the people in this state must be protected in every way. This is but one of the responsi- bilities that goes with the Council of Defense. All these public services are insured by the Governor's trust in the men appointed. Captain Rice of the Mongolia must now share, his honors with Lieut. Bruce Ware, who had command of the gun crew that sank the submarine. It is significant that the Lieutenant’s first initial makes his name read B. Ware. German submarine com- manders please note.
