Z@m this connection the ‘inquiry which has been directed to this eountry by &m relative to the taking over of Kisuchau from Germany to be at “®%ge ceded to China arouses much in- _terest. Such would be highly pleasing ~t6 China. It would mean that the Kaiser would be makirg a desperate effort to get around a bad situation, “gpne Japan, even though the with- iwal of the German navy as well as lang forces was accomplished, might have something to say about such a method of procedure which looks with distrust upon its promise. ViSuch a service would be sladiy _Yendered by this country fer the pur- Dose of quieting the threatened out- ,%-k in China waters, but nothing of kind could be considered until suéh is agreed to by the empires in- volved. In this as in the other con- troversies the position of this coun- try is neutral, but its good offices and influence stand ready for the bringing mbout of peace, as has been made plain, W er and wherever the time and conditions are ripe for it. Such a plan 1f put into operation would quick- Ty adjust that demand made by Japan, if its interest in China is sincere, but it likewise depemnds upon the attitude of Germany in giving up peaeefully its eastern possession, and how gemerpus- ly d@isposed it is to passively submit to the dictation of the mikado. e SENATOR ROOT’S SPEECH - Much interest surrounded the speech of Senator Root at the New York state convention and par- ticularly was this true' in the present mixed situation there, concerning what he had to say relative to the strength of the progressive party. Ir e ©of the movement of some of the pro- , Eressive to direct the selection i of the republican nomines for gov- &dnor, it is noteworthy that the sen- ator declares that the third party has practieally disappeared and that such is no surprise, because as he says ‘they “are not progress. They are re- trogressing. They are not are failing to recognize Huerta but also the cost of maintaining government. “PRESERVE BRUSSELS, By permitting the almost unopposed occupation, by the German advance guard, of the city of Brussels, the former capital of Belgium, the Bel- gians bave acknowledged the utter fu- fility of attempting to defend the un- fortified city, and what has taken is bat what was anticipated fol- lowing thé removal of the seat of gov- érnment to Antwerp. Now comes the question as to what the XKaiser's forces will do with this city. It is of no great gtrategical value but is a city many centuries old, containing buildings of great value from their age and architecture, which could never be replaced. Brussels is on the other hand a manufacturing center and can henceforth offer no impedi- ment to the German army, whether it is destroyed or not, so that any at- tempt or plan at destruction must be looked upon only as wanton waste. Though not always respected - the rules of warfare are against needless destruction and no benefit could ac- crue to the German forces through the razing of such a city or any of its great structures. The situation pre- sents an entirely different aspect than most cases where cities are bombarded. Brussels hasn't and never could offer serious resistance, its occu- pation cost nothing and it deserves to he retained intact. Excuse might be offered for battering down fortified cities or places of vantage, but such does not hold in the case of Brussels. The Belgians have maneuvered to prevent it and it remains to be seen what consideration will be dealt out by the German forces of occupation. TIME FOR ENTERPRISE. A highly cmmendable ‘movement is that which is not only directed to- wards urging American industry to further dsvelopment in its present lines as well as others im which de- pendence is largely placed upon for- eigy manufacture, but in demonstrat- ing where and how it is possible for expansion in new fields like South America. This is a matter to which the business interests of this country should have Been fully alive long ago and been prepared at this time for an aggressive ‘campaign in its behalf backed by such transportation ar- rangements as would tend to encour- age businesss of both an import and export character. South American in- terests are inclined in this direction and -with increased dependence upon this country, through the cutting off of EHuropean trade, there is a golden opportunity mow to strike while the time is ripe. ¥ South Americans lack in informa- tion as to the character and varlety of our products, it is time they were informed. With the arranging of bank- ing facilities, a material aid to such trade is provided, with the promise of further extemsion, thus overcoming what has beén a serious handicap to South American trade. While it may have rested with the countries south of the equator as to where they did their trading if the proper share of it is not obtained in this country hence. forth nothing will be to blame except the lack of enterprise, since everything favors a greatly increased trade with South America. EDITORIAL NOTES. There are people who are not dis- turbed by the absence of the daily re- port of the stock exchanges. The daily electrical bombardments give & faint impression of what Eu- rope is said to be experiencing. Holland is preparing to inundate the country if necessary. Too bad the continent isn't susceptible to the same kind of treatment. Would that it were possible to de- clare with all necessary proof that this talk of the higher cost of living is purely psychological. The man on the corper says: When everyone's face is so long, it is sufi- cient excuse for the barbers to jack up the price of a shave. ‘Though it is claimed that boys and old men are the only guards left for Berlin they seem to be putting up all the defense that is needed. There can't be much question but what Villa and Huerta will take ocas- sion to extend thelr greetings to the new provistonal president of Mexico. It is well known that New Britain is a cosmopolitan city but it was never suspected that the war would reduce the attendance at a ball game to four.

It takes a man or a woman to speak pleasantly when the heart is troubled. Every true heart knoweth its own sorrows, but it does not pass roupd photographs of them to disturb its friends. No man can put his best foot forward unless he keeps his best manners near where bis hat tilis—they were intended to be ‘comrades in the front rank of life. If you do not know your bests you will surely reap the consequences of ig- norance. The lubricants of life do not cost a cent—words and accents properly expressed make the way oth- ers have found hard easy. It pays better to be cheerful and _attractive than'it does to be glum and sober. Here is a Scriptural command which is not often called to mind: 'I'ho\: shalt not eat any abominable thing! ‘What is an Ebomlnnbl%éhing?

Indigestion, rheumatism and a great many ilis of the fiesh is said to be heir to are the result of unwise combina- tions or the bolting”of food. Many of the cool’s combinations are abom- inations and in the interest of health and happiness should be left alone. To use less intelligence than a horse or a dog in eating is not creditable to man. If man had not been guilty of this Wwould there ever have been a need of this tommand? Do not eat what malkes you havé the headache because you like it—eat what nourishes and stimulates you because you need it! The seeds are ripening and the birds are increasing in the garden patch. The goldfinches are watching the rip- ening sunflowers from the pear tree and contemplating a bountiful Septem- ber fare. The whole crop came from the seeds they scattered a Yyear ago— where they feed they never fail to plant. The humming birds are work- ing away at the balm, the honeysuck!:s and the nasturtiums, the starlings ap- pear to have an appetite for the holly- hock seeds and to have a fancy for the sweet corn, which is not likely to .n- crease their popularity; the robins are haunting the fruit trees for insects and searching the damp spots beneath the dahli: the flycatchers sit on the dahlia etakes and intercept their pray with unswerving aim, performing feals in the air which would put the ablest aviator to shame in ing their perch. A lone woodpecker walks .up and down the cedar beanpoles picking off the spiders and creeping things which appear to meet his tastes as lamb and mint sauce do ours. When the nesting season is over and the time for migration is near, the birds in the garden increase daily in num- ber. Young man and young woman, do not get the impression you can go it alone in life, because you cannot. Tue very first requisite for getting on weli in the world is to make one’s self use- ful to somebody—to become to them like a new and profitable thought or a dependable right hand. The song of nature and the demand of life harmon- ize in utility! TUsefulness, benevolence and goodness is the trinity designed to produce the superman; but the great- est of these is usefulness. The useful- ness which doesn’t hug self, the benev- olence which melts prejudice and tae goodness which does good—which shines because it shins not because it ig the reflector of a most desiradle quality. A real grasper of life has no time to harbor contentment. The self- satisfled are like a mnoble tree in the grip of a Sungus, a little thing which sends the roots of death to the ‘hea-t of the tree. Usefulness and beauty go hand in hand down the corridors of time—they are inseparableé and sus- tain one another. If people whose lives are made mis- | ha erable by jealousy realized that this disturber of self proclalmed their in- feriority they would hold him in leash instead of letting him lead them to mental distraction which is always temporary insanity. Jealousy is ac- credited with always finding more than it looked for, with believing lles reason would detect, with .poisoning its own banquet and then eating it; and it is the one imp of Satan which should de strangled at its birth. It is the cuck- 00’s egg in the nest of love, whizh makes it one of the most precious treasures Satan has ever collected. I crawls like a serpent into business, into government and into the pulpit, blighting life and light and like a miasma.

You and I can do His service by recognizing “we are all children in God’s Kinder- garten.” SUNDAY MORNING TALK SEATS OF THE SCORNFUL. It was an item in the Psalmist's praise of the righteous man that he “sitteth not in the seat of the scorn- ful” The scorner's seat is always a bad one to occupy if one wishes to Ssee the drama of life clearly, As a point of view it has nothing to be said in its favor. In no mood of con- tempt can we view justly or treat fair- 1y any fellow being. Contempt means bitterness, and bitterness means nial- ice, and malice is of the pit itself. There are pragtical reasons why one should avoid the seat of the scornful. In the first place the attitude of scorn makes true judgment of another im- possible. Contempt pulls the shutters down over the windows of the soul so that one cannot see. 1 never estimute a man rightly when I look down upon him. His strong and heroic qualities are likely wholly to escape me. As 1 write the terrible fight at Liege is teaching the Germans how greatly they underestimated the Belgian spirit and power of resistance Belgium is a small state, but one which it has beew a tragie mistake for Germany to despise. Not otherwise, I as an individual may underestimate or pass by as un- worthy of _attention many about mc who have much to teach me if woujd let them. To adopt toward any human being an attitude of contemp may mean only loss to myself as wel! as injustice to my brothers. Ever day we are in conflict with some whe may be deemiad beneath our notice, but from that disdein we ourselves suffer as surely as do they. Contempt is a very flimsy shelter into ‘'which we sometimes creep to get rid of the need for actlon. When ¥ a sneaking suspicion thataman's message Is right, even if disturbing, it is easler for me to despise him than to obey him. In the early years of Gen. Booth’s colossal and beneficent enterprise, the cultured and educated clagses did not take the trouble to oppose tlie Salvation singers with their tambourings.

Bridgeport's street paving problem, viewed in the light of a decade hence, resolves itself into a very pleasant outlook. It discloses a city. made up of permanently paved streets, the form of the pavement being the type closest to real permanency, and its cost a figure so low as to solve for- ever the question of street pavements. A solid concrete pavement is the type in mind, and a municipal cement works, coupled with the elimination of all private contract work in road- laying, the means of bringing the price down, to a very reasonable figure.— Bridgeport Telegram.
