Such a war now could bring no present aid to the persecuted in the Near East. The bloodshed would not be limited to them a denouement would have separated France and and Italy, leaning toward the one or the other, with the result that when the permanent settlement did eventually the greater powers would still be at swords points.

VISITORS TO CONNECTICUT. Either more motorists visited Con- necticut last summer for protracted stays than came the summer before last, porary registration of motor vehicles in this state, to used here temporarily, is heing more rigidly enforced or Wwe prefer to take it for granted that the former assumption is the true one for the obvious reason that it points to increased’ popularity for Connecticut. The motor vehicles department re- ports that there were 752 porary registrations in the first nine months of 1922 as against only 426 for the corresponding period of 1921 Fiye hundred and seventy-four of this large number were for pleasure cars. or else the rule requiring tem- where they are to be observed. such tem- arguments in favor of hotel One of the the prospects of the new here that tourists in it would attract | through the state, Quite aside from | this argument, however, there 18 no who tour the while taking question but that those country in automobiles their vacations do spend money liber- ally, Many practically dead in the winter, of course, depend- towns are ing solely on summer trade for their FFortunately New Britain such, is Connecticut existence is not one nor subsists upon money But the money of business a state which spent in luxuries, these vacationists does help in the summer, and the fact that Con- becoming more popular with the summer months A cause for satisfac- such as bet- necticut shows signs of tourists in tion.

The report comes that the Earl of Strafford has seen the harvesting of the sunflower crop in Canada and has decided to take them to England and give them a trial on his IZnglish estate. For the Earl has learned about the sunflower's value as silage—a thing of which many Americans are ignorant despite the presence of the ‘“flower” {in this country—and, being quite a farmer and stock-raiser, intends to profit by the knowledge. The dispatch carrying the news vs that next year the sunflower probably will be growing on the estate of the Earl of Strafford and nodding their free American heads over the hedge rows, will look British noblemen in the eye."” And because of this ‘‘nodding their free American heads” it is not impos- sible that the English, sometimes forming their opinions of Americans from the poor samples they have met as Americans sometimes form dpinions of the English from samples up to English back at the nodding sun lowers and remark—"How truly American! 8o loud in color, you know-—and so coarse Really, they insist upon being seen. of startling brilliance not quite standards, will look absolutely That sort scarcely appeals to us. To each bold sunflower growing in English soil might well be attached a note bearing the words: *No, we are not ueed in America as boutonnieres,’ —it the sunflower minds such com- ment. THE MINER, THE MAN. The story of the anthracite coal miner, as told by a representative of The Herald who has just returned from a tour of the anthracite coal fields of Pennsylvania, and published in the Herald vesterday, is a human picture of the man who works in the coal mines. TIts value lies in the fact that the narrative is not propaganda for miners or operators. It s a statement of the situation as it ap- pears to an unprejudiced observer anxious to get at the facts. From this story upon which may rely comes the satisfactory feel- ing that the miners are giving their best efforts to getting coal out of the ground rapidly that it may be sent on its to the present shortage. Sunday work is being done the first time in history. It is natural that there is the prevalent fear that the operators intend to raise the price of ccal soon, but that fear would come f{n a section of the country where the general sentiment expressed is with the miners. With the necessity for restricting the price recognized by the government and the varlous state officials, it is that fear is unfounded, not because of the lack wish to the price the part of the operators, rather because of their inability the face of public sentiment There may intimate one way relieve for believed of a raise on but do so in to the strong be seen also in this picture of the miners and their habits and lives, the true char- of the work they gers, its unpleasant not to say pathetic slde when the country acter do, its dan- It is well that once in a while, is angered by the actions of men seeking to better their condition, of the the human aspect matter be thus presented And in the atmosphere of the story may be seen the conviction that it will | be a long time before another strike is called which will so harass the country, | - “SOCIETY" AND POLITICS, 'S The best thing noted about “So- ciety” recently is that it has furnished a few men Willing to take the trouble for political office.

C., Terrorized by Great Animal Wilmington, N. C., Oct, 11,—After terrorizing the city for eighteen hours and damaging property to the extent of thousands of dollars, Topsy, a big elephant that escaped from a circus train here last night, was captured late this afternoon when she hogged in Greenfleld lake, In the outskirts of the city. Suits, ranging from $20, sought by the pastor of a Catholic church for damages to the church property, to $6,000 asked by the owner of a dye works, whose plant was wrecked by the elephant, have been filled in su- perior court, and attorneys have hur- ried at Fayetteville, N. C, to attach the circus, The elephant roamed the city the entire day, pursued by attendants, policemen and sheriff's deputies, but defying capture. Once when two at- | apparatus to be installed in the Lozier | tendants hooked her ears she dashed down the main business street of the city, dragging the men for a hundred yards before they gave it up. Property damage, in addition to that to the church property and the dye plant, included several garages and chicken coops overturned, a score of fences smashed and a num- ber of porch columns wrenched from their fastenings. The elephant became infuriated when she wandered into the back- vard of a negro's home and was fired upon. The negro fell while running from the beast and suffered a broken collar bone. He was the only person injured. AMERICA TO SHUT OFF FURTHER LOANS J. 5. Takes This Step to Curb Militarism Abroad Washington, Oct. 11.—No expecta- tion exists on the part of the United States government that it will receive any return on its war loans to its former European allies, except in the case of Great Britain, until those na-' tions readjust their finances and through a process of rehabilitation place themselves in a position to pay their obligations. This was made clear yesterday in a high official quar- ter. On its face this statement appears ‘o be encouraging to the apparent disposition of continental govern- ments to bring about an indefinite postponement of a refunding of their American war debts, with, perhaps, the hope of ultimate agreement of the United States to cancel its al- ied indebtedne But the real sig- nificance of the statement lies in wha! seems to be the fact, that it con- templates a policy on the part of this government by which an em- hargo will be placed on further Am- >rican loans to certain European pow- ers. Taboo Private Loans. That there should be no more loans by this government directly to any of our former allfes had already been letermined. What came to light yes- terday was that loans from private American financial interests are also likely to be tabooed. The political situation in Europe has assumed such a phase that, in the opinion of some of those having great influence in the councils of the Har- Jding administration, it would be the part of American and international folly to permit such conditions to continue if it is within the power of the United States government {o pre- vent them through cutting off the American source of financial supply. American Observers Dissatisfied. Dissatisfaction over the political sii- uation in Continental Europe has been expressed by many American observ- ers recently returned from European tours, and particularly by members of the senate. Certain European gov- ernment heavily in debt to the United States, are maintaining large military establishments — keeping themselves on a war-footing, in fact ~and making no real effort to re- duce expenditures in an attempt to balance their budgets and otherwise seeking to put themselves in a posi- tion to meet their obligations.

Loans Supervised. Some time ago the administration adopted the policy of supervising oans of private American banking interests to foreign governments and loans of any considerable magnitude to foreign busin interests, To car- v out this policy required the vol- untary co-operation of the banking interests, They responded in a whole- liearted way, much to the gratifica- tion of the government, and since then they have advised with the state department whenever they were ap- proached by forelgn governments or | business interests with reference to | extending financial help, It is now inferred that the govern- ment will not look with favor on loans by American bankers to foreign | governments or foreign business in-' | terests which are to be utilized in | keeping certain nations on & war footing.
