The Germans were able to accomplish such results because the Russian and Rumanian representatives had swal- lowed poisonous Prussian propagan- da of exactly the same nature as that now being sent forth from Berlin. The ‘“peace’” offer is no peace offer at all. It is not sincere because the German government, as at present constituted, cannot be sincere, by its very nature. If the war is to end sooner than we expect, peace must come through one of the two following channel either complete and unconditional surrender on the part of the central powers, or by the destruction of the German armies in the field. There is no other way open and we seek no other way. We are willing to bring peace by elther method. Victory is assured by both. We wafit Victory, but no armistice, no discussions, no terms.

While The Herald any credit in the premises, we glad nevertheless, to note that Health Department has acted cordance with the suggestion tained in does not claim are the in ac- con- these columns a few days ago that prevention is better cure in combating an epidemic. The schools and theaters have been closed, public dancing forbidden, and crowding of electric cars prohibited. All these measures are steps in the right direction. They all help in pre- venting the spread of disease. If necessary, more public places should be closed. We trust that the Health Department having acted on its own initiative in promulgating the closing orders already issued, will not hesi- tate to employ its prerogatives fur- ther if necessity demands it. With all due respect to the State Board of Health, that body cannot be fully ac. than community affected and therefore it behooves each department to act promptly in accordance with the peculiar conditions of its locality. If the local Health Department had waited for the State Board to act, the schools and theaters would not have been closed today. The mem- bers of the State Board probably do not even yet think that “the situa- tion demands such action”. We pre- fer to see our Health Board go ahead as it thinks best so far as this city is concerned and we believe that the measures thus far adopted will prove beneficial® local BONDS WILL SHACKLE THE HUN DOCTORS AND DRUGGISTS. New Britain can be proud of the doctors and druggists in this city. Al- though these gentlemen had put in a most strenuous week up until last Saturday, they did not relinquish their efforts on the Sabbath day. The doctors were all “up and doing”, making call after call, and minister- | ing uhceasingly to the sick and af- flicted. The druggists, some of whom have had hardly a wink of sleep for several nights, called a special meet- | ing Saturday and voted to keep their stores open Sunday in order to com- | pound the thousands of prescriptions | Their doubtful ! which were sure to be sent in.

This will offer a splendid opportunity for the delegates to witness the launching of Connecticut’s first steel ship for our “Victory” fleet. The ship to be launched will be an 8,000 ton vessel. It is certain that a number of dignitaries will be present for the launching and that it will be a remarkable occasion. The average man has little concep- tion of what ship tonnage means. Not long ago an official statement by the government explained that an 8,- 000 ton.vessel of the standardized type being built to beat the subma- rine will carry a general cargo equal to the contents of 450 freight cars; that is a train three and one-half miles lo The launching will take place in the ly afternoon of October 21st.
