It expects even that Germans should go out and fight Germans that the world may be made safe for democracy. The least it can expect’is that they respect the flag which has protected them for these many years, and under whose folds they have reaped the harvest of prosperity. TO PREVENT REPRISALS. There has been bitter condemna- tion of the German air raids upon London. - The argument has been that thesy raids are of no Mtlitary value; that although London is a fortified center the raids have never yet wrought havoc upon the military de- fenses but have instead wounded and. killed defenseless. men, women and children. “Because of this Germany has been scathingly arraigned before the bar of public opjnion in this and other ' countries. “The time has come,” cry those who are against the plan of maiming non-combatants, “when there must be reprisals.” Of course, any ‘reprisdls that are worthy the name must be of the same retal- fatory nature as the acts condemned. Thus do those who cry for vengeance practices they con- demn. i Asked in the House of - Commons whether the government has decided upon reprisals for the latest German Jsir raid on England, Andrew Bonar Law, member of the War Council, yesterday ‘stated that the Government intended to. take steps not only for damaging the enemy, but also for preventing raids on England. Mr.) Law then pointed out that it was a mistake to assume that air raiding had been confined to the German side of the fighting forces. The British air force in France had raided Ger- than communications and all import- ant military objectives behind the lines which were sufficient importance to justify such enterprises. Ameri- cans -have known of other raids of predatory character, one being over a German city. This rald was se- verely condemned by the leading edi- torial writers of this country as a reprisal bordering on outlawry. Destruction of private property with the attendant havoc caused .to life and Hmb by air raids such as those practiced by German airplanes end Zeppelins over London will never received the approval of fair-minded people. Seemingly, they are of no’ military. value. Any reprisals that are planned and executed on the same order would naturally come in for the same criticism. Yet, England is forced to the position where it cannot be over-nice-in the methods it chooses to rid itself of a constant danger. The Germans have been persistent and consistent in their at- tacks on English coast cities. They have sent their ‘air machines to drop tortuous bombs whenever they willed to display Arightfulness: The policy of these.raids was not so much’ the damage they caused as the fear they might instill in the English heart. The same may be said to be true.of ruthiess submarine warfare. The ‘Germans have not been as successful with their submarines as they told \their people they would. They had figured on running all ships off the high seay either by torpedo or fright. Fhey had not reckoned on those dar- ing spirits who would first have to taste a torpedo’s fire in order to be afraid of it, and then to be afraid for only a little while. Men who have sailed ships through . the “danger zone’”, have never yet hesitated ‘to make another attempt when disaster once overtook their ships. They are always. willing. to go back. The_ German air raids over ,Lon- don -and other English coast - towns wiil go on 80 long as Germany is not prevented from sending: her Zeppelins and heavier-than-air machines across the lower end of the North Ses, or the English. ¢hannel They 'will o on even in the face of reprisals prac-' will_go on until England is able. to build and-keep on the alert a great force of airships to keép off the oncoming enemy. And this is just what Germany wants England to do. She wants the British to spend their time in building and equipping air- planes and training men to fly them. For while all that activity is going on behind English lines, on English sofl, English aviators will not be able to do much damage to German lines of communication or to Ger- man cities. Thus England may not ever be able to work the vengeance Mr. Bonar Law says the government | is planning. ~ Not believing in reprisals of this kind, - there can be no question that England should do all in her power to defeat any air raid that may be made on her territory. We believe! with Howard E. Codffin, the 'American expert on the question, that the United States should build enough airplanes so that Germany’s aeriel craft will be outnumbered ten to one. With this dene England will not havo | to work shady reprisals on Germany, perhaps/ . killing innocent ‘German men, women and children in air raids, and America will be able to assert its formidable entrance into the war.

Sims, U, 8. N., has been ap- pointed ta take general charge of the operations of the allied naval forces in Irish waters. y Admiral Sims will act in this capa- city while the British naval com- mander in chief is absent from his post for a period, the .official an- nouncement of his appointment ex- plains. The American admiral’s flag meanwhile has been hoisted as that of the allled senior officer In these waters. The text of the official an- nouncement reads: ring a short absence of the Brifish naval commander in chief on the coast of Ireland, Vick Ad- miral Sims of the United States navy has hoisted his flag as allled senior officer in general charge of operations of the allied naval forces in Irish waters. 3 Sims Has Wide Latitude. ‘Washington, - June 20.—A Drief message fram London brought the navy department its first news of the appointment of Vice Admiral Sims to command the allied naval forces in Irish waters during the absence of the commander of that district. The de- partment had nq ‘other information as to the new rekponsibilities placed upon the American officer. The Washington government given Admiral Sime wide powers to enable hirth to meet any situation that may arise. Because of the ‘distance from Washington to the scene of operations, no effort was made “to hamper him with requirements that he report for orders, The admiral has full autharity to act on his own initiative in disposing the forces at his command so as to secure the great- est co-dperation with the French and British navies and also the maximum efficiency in the warfare against Ger- man submarines. Much of his time has been spent in London and Paris, and the latest ad- vices are the first to indicate that he has been at sea with his ships. It was said at the department, however, that the admiral determined for him- self the best course to pursue and would spend all his time afloat if he regarded that as advisable, The statement that Admiral 8ims had hoisted his flag as senior allied naval officer led to much speculation as to what American warship he might be using as a flagship, as pre- sumably he would hoist his flag only aboard an American vessel. The only facts disclosed by .the department as to vessels now in European waters have been that destroyers have been sent to' British ports, and the naval collier Jupiter to a French port with supplies. .+ Tremendous responsibilities have been placed on Admiral Sims’ shoul- ders.’ 1t has been said that even with- out the American vessels, the British have had thousands of destroyers, submarine chasers of all sizes and kinds, mine-sweepers, and aircraft posted in these waters in the effort ta ‘keep open the shipping lines. All of ‘these forces are now under Admiral Sime. On him, also, rests probably the duty of arranging for the arrival and departure of commercial vessels, both transatlantic and coastwise, that ply in Irish waters. The British ad- miralty exercises rigid control over all ship movements, and no vessel leaves port until the naval commander re- ports the seas free of the enemy. that . the announcement: that the Amrican admiral had been placed even temporarily in. command of British forces greatly superior to those under the - American flag in those waters might have a political effect in Ireland where the situation is turbulent as the period of the Irish ‘convention approaches. It might teénd to show beyond question, it was suggest: that the British and American governments were in per- feot accord.

Holcomb Thinks Situation Is No Credit to the State Hartford, June 30.—Plans for re- cruiting the Connecticut National Guard to full war strength, a task calling for the cnlistment of about 1,300 men, were discussed yesterday afternoon. in the old senate chamber at the state capitol when a meeting called by the Connecticut State Coun- oll of Defense was held and was at- tended by about fifty prominent men from. al]l parts of the state. Those present included Governor Marcus H. Holcomb, members of the military and naval affairs and publicity com- mittees of the stdte council of de- f:?.n‘t' nhuh;;ln‘n and members of the unty auxillary committees, military officers, members of = the military emergency board and others. , T-. A. Bcott, chairman of the New London county committee, presided. Secretary Thomas Hewes of the . council' outlined the purpose of the meeting, reading letters urging work for enlistments in the regular army and a letter from Adjutant General George M. Cole pointing out the need of recruiting 1,300 men for the Con- necticut National Guard. Condition Not Very Creditable. Governor Holcomb told of 'the needs of the regiments, and said the present condition was ‘‘not a very credible one for Connecticut to be in.” Buch a condition 414 not exist in the Revolution, he said, when with a population of 200,000 the state fur- nished 000 troops. “If; we fur- nished mén in that proportion now, we would send 175,000 men,” he said. Cornnectiout’s young men must realize that they must fill up the ranks, the governor pointed, out. “I can only ,wish I was young enough to get into the first rank,” said the governor. “Somebody must fill the first rank and carry muskets, we wen’t have any trouble to fill the places in the munitions factories. The thing to do s to get the young men to enlist and ‘do their part. Major W. A. Mercer, U. 8 .A,, re- tired, regular army recruiting of- cer for Connecticut told of the meth- ods of publicity used to get regular army recruits, billboards, posters, cir- culars, slides in moving picture the- aters and other methods. He sald the postmasters had aided in recruit- ing and that stationing uniformed soldiers in public places had brought good results. He believed that the town clerks could assist. The enlist- ed. reserve organizations, he said, prove attractive to young men. The ambulance and aviation sections have met large response. When the re- serve corps is fllled up, in his.opinion, it will be easier to get men for the regmiar-army. ular army now. needs about 85,000 men, and that Connecticut’s quota of this 1s about 1,282, Draft May Be Ordered. Adjutant General George M. Cole sald that the question which presents itself to him as the important one for Connecticut ig that one regiment is over 800 men short and unless some- thing is done it will have to be'drafted into federal service much depleted or | alse there will be a draft to fill the Tanks. The Second regiment is mak- ing splendid progress and is only about 250 short of its full complement of 2,002 men. ‘We must get these 800 inen for the First regiment before July 26. We cannot send the eelected army for nine or ten months and these national guard troops and the regular army must go over and hold the fort until the néw army can get over,” said General Cole. He #aid he had come to the council to assist in building up the national guard, 7 “It would ®e to our everlasting dis- credit if this First regiment went into the foderal service 800 shoit,” he sald. : ~ Colonel Richard J. Goodman, com- mander of the First regiment, said he believed the difficulty "in recruiting was partly due ta the troops being spread in emall detachments over a great area doing guard duty. It has been. difficult to get sufficiently large recruiting details without taking men off the guard duty. Colonel Goodman safd that the regi- ment had 900 :::a ‘when called into service. The discharge of about 300 had been required. 'The regiment now has 1,150 men. Company E of New | Britain 16 now farty-five men short, Company L of Willimantic is ninety- five men short, othér companies are short varying numbers between these two figures. Colonel Goodman sald he has called upon mayors of cities and first select- men of towns where First regiment units are located to name civilian committees to aid in recruiting work. A similar plan, he felt, might be used throughout the state for both the na- tional guard and regular army. For Period of War Only. Adjutant General Cole pointed out that there is a large field for recruit- ing fu war time not opén in peace time. All enlistments now made are for the period of ‘the war only, he said, and not a period of years, The chairm: en made a call for suggestions . John' H .Goss of Water- bury sald he felt that the reason young men don’t come forward is the tvoe of Auty they are called upon to perform at this time. The reason the Second Regimont had filled’ up more rapidly, he thought, was because the feeling had gone eut that it would be one of the first to go to the “These are red-blooded young men,” he sald, “and they are looking- for aé- tion, not inaction.” George B.
