Tihe entrance of Japan into the con- flict which is going on in Europe, which has been believed inevitable since the issuance of the ultimatum, is witnessed with regret by that portion of the world which is permitted to maintain neutrality. No answer to the demand is equivalent to a denial and upon such an interpretation the tazeu of the mikado are ready to pro- Japan's efforts at present are to be directed towards the taking of Kiau- chau and the protection of British shipping In eastern waters, but what this may lead to it is impossible to tell. There are frequent ihstances ‘where conditions have completely alt- ered plans and results as was.the case when this country found itself with the Philippines on its hands follow- ing the Spanish war. How much more involved Japan will become through the taking of the German base in the Yellow sea cannot be foreseen, even though Japan has declared in a state- ment to this country that before any steps beyond the houndaries of that territory are taken this country will be consulted. Thus has the ultimatum resulted as was anticlpated and thus is the task increased for this country_to keep dut of the deplorable situation. The de- velopments in the far east will be fol- lowed closely and with great interest accompanied by the hope for a speedy adjustment. [ —— NO SPIRIT OF UNFAIRNESS Because of the difficulty under which the news sageéncies are operat- ing in an endeavor to give the=world the news surrounding the extensive military and naval operations in Eu- rope, there have been accusations of unfairness to Germany and a coloring of the news matter unfavorable to that empire” That any such move has been made with malice aforgthough by the press of this country Is out of the question. There is no disposition upon the part of Americans to be unfair to Ger- ‘matiy, even though, despite the warning of the president many people find it impossible not to take sides and back thelr favorites, but such is not the spirit which guides the press. Im- partiality is the intent in its news in Just s6 far as it is possible to get it, and sight must not be lost of the fact that strict censorship is plaving a powerful part against its accomplish- ment, since the sources of the war news which are available are all close- ly guarded. With the impossibility of verifivation, who can pick the true from the false rumors? In ghe meantime as the Cincinnati Enquirer peints out it is well to con- sider:— “First—What has any American mnewspaper to gain by perverting the news of the European conflict? ‘Second—What possible effect could distortion of the news in America have on the tide of the battle in Europe? “Third— hélp can the Ameri- d to any of the bel- in Europe by bitter defama- Hgerents ot gvhy wou "ourth—Why would any newspaper any more than a manufacturing con- ca'n, or a jobbing house, go out of its to publish or cause to be publish- m\apg or belittling statemenls thn elear.lv would offend and alienate patrons?

It followed closely upon the heels of the amended registry act, which was changed for thé encourage- ment of private enterprise, but private capital was not rusking to take ad- vantage of such risks as would be involved in such transportation plans. It there is a chance of violating in- ternational obligations by the govern- ment undertaking such'a rellef to its foreign trade, it should be made plain at once, but if there is no such danger facing this effort of the government to come to aid of business with other countries, it indicates the proper dis- poéition unless and until something better can be advanced. The opposi- tion which comes through disbelief in government ownership might well subside, in view of the fact that it is solely a question of meeting an emergency. WHAT IT CQSTS. ‘With European nations seeking loans for the maintenance of the war and other expenses of government, it only requiries a glance at the indebtedness of nations to see what has been the price of participation in and prepared- ness for war. The debts run to supen- dous figures and they are going high- er. , The debt of the United Kingdom is placed by the latest figures at $3, 309,735. That of France by the last available figures reached $6,511,579,955 while in Russia the total is $4,222 858, 880. Such shows that those countrie: in the triple entente have an indebt- edness of over fourtcen billion dollars. With Germany it is slightly less the debt running to $1,131,414,175, though with the states and colonies it is in- creased by about four billion more. That of Austria goes to nearly two and a half billion with Hungary having an additional debt of $1,150,000,000. Italy has a debt of over $2,700,000,000 while Javan the national debt is $1,241,- 997,000. In Belgium where a levy of fifty million has just been made by Ger- many and a loan of equal amount b just been negotiated, the debt amounts to $759,000,000 and is still rising. Debt reduction is a matter whiclh receive little attention in these coun- tries even during normal conditions The prospects that they can ever be wlped out grows tinier each day. AN IMPORTANT MISSION If, Tas hoped for, the revolutionary conditions in Santo Domingo can be ended and the two republics on that island given the advantage of peace- ful conditions and the opportunity to realize upon its great storehouse of wealth, it will be one of the grea benefits which could befall those peo- ple. It is theréfore an jmportant mis sion upon which the commission sent to Santo Domingo by this country is engaged, for with the well known in- clination of those people and the po- litical conditions which exist there, the difficulty of the under&’.klng is readily realized. Pacification is needed in the island. The future of that republic depends upon it and the quicker it can be brought about the better. Both in Santo Domingo and Hayti is there rea- son for accepting the helping hand which this country is offering or will- ing to lend for their welfare. Still it must be brought- to their attentlon, as it is being now by the special com- mission, that much rests with them in the way of overcoming past experi- ences. When they realize that revolu- tions and corrupt politics are and will continue to be a gigantic impedimen: towards the proper conduct of the government of their republic, then a big step will have been taken for their own betterment. If the special commission can bring the warring factions in Santo Domingo to this realization, it will render a most val- uable and timely service. EDITORIAL NOTES. One thing which is entering vigor- ously into the old world conflict is the censorship. Mount Lassen s dolng its best to draw attention away from the Euro- pean upheaval. The season of family and regimental reunions is at hand, one of the hap- piest of the year. Still there are a great many who prefer a good fish story to the special tales from the war zone. The man on the corner says: Peace or war, the death rate among the aviators is always skyhigh. The democrats are talking about a war tax just as if the income tax had made a hit with the country. Of course a great many saw the rise in prices coming, but only a few laid in a winter’s supply of flour and sugar. It will be recalled that everything seems to have been growing werse since that rainstorm on St. Swithin’s day. ‘Without a war correspondent in the fleld who can get the proper idea of the coming “greatest battle in the world’s history ?” Many an American traveler has speedily come to the conclusion that Europe is no health resort, facts to the contrary notwithstanding. Becween the support of a republican candidate and the aid which will otherwise be given to Tammany, Col. Roosevelt stands up for the greater of the two evils. ‘Those who rushed in to boost Hin- man in New York because he carried the endorsement of the bull moose leader, now find themselves in a sorry plight following the display of Roose- velt fickleness. Not only has Germany confined its offensive operations chiefly to the slaughtering of a neutral nation, but upon top of it all it now proceeds to exact fifty millions from them to help pay the cast of it. Belgium couldn't have been treated worse had it been & tasts of 1ife on the continent. |the cause of the war. SUGGESTIONS FOR: THE HOUSEWIFE. It bread dough is well beaten with before the are Put | oo et bread will mt and wholmo. To clean marble, take two parts of soda, one of pumice and one of salt, all in powder, and mix in a paste with water. Apple juice, which may be bought at the grocer’s, mixes deliciously wikh grape juice. Use equal parts with cracked ice. Olive oil, If it is'pure, is a splendid thing for the skin. It has been used in the Orient for thousands of years as a beautifier. Stains and discolorations on tin ware can be removed by dipping a damp cloth in common soda and rub- bing briskly. Cut sheets of tinfoil and place un- der flower vase doilies and there will be no trouble with dampness affecting the furniture. Soaking the feet night and morning in hot water will do much to relieve the pain that often comes from walk- ing in hot weather. GRACEFUL FINGERS. No one who uses her hands well can be entirely lacking in grace. The majority of up carry them as thoush they were awkward packages. If you are one of those whose plaint is “What shall I do with my hands?” begin at once to cultivate ease and srace by getting the fingers into con- dition, It is mot enough to exercise the hand from the wrist, or in con- unction with the arm—exercise, the ‘ingers as distinct from the hand in order that they may respond readily to emotion and work in Karmony with he hands. Try these exercises. 1. Fingers together, work them up and down. Open and close the hand, setically spreading the fingers, 3. Clinch the fist and exercise each finger and the thumb in turn. 4. Spread _the cers apart and ork each finger up and down; keep- ing the others as still as possible. 5. Hold the hana stiff, then sud- lenly relax the fingers. 6. Devitalize the hands at the wrists, 7. Hold arm out straight, palm turned downward, and with fingers touching each other; turn hand on the wrist. The thumb should lie close to the palm. All movements of the hands should ippear to be directed by the elbow or the shoulders and should express per- ‘ect freedom, yet absolute control. We -hould receive, never take, things that are handed to us, évery movement :hould suggest receptiveness, yet be irected—vital, as it were. It is most interesting to watch the hands of well trained actresses, for <hey are alw expressive. TRY WAXED PAPER. If a piece of waxed paper is placed under the centerpiece on a polished able, it will prevent the linen from adhering to the table in hot weather, as well as prevent a stain from cold water or an overfilled vase or rose bowl. outstretched; ener- HEALTH AND BEAUTY. Many cases of neuralgia of the skin result from that most common ma- iady, dyspepsia; in that case this dis- order must be conquered before re- lief may be expected. As the physi- cdl “‘condition improves the pains or numbness will gradually lessen. For tan or sunburn a simple but ef- fective remedy is to pour some per- oxide of hydrogen into the palm of the hands and distribute it evenly over the affected parts. Let it dry with- out rubbing. After it is dry apply any good lotion. This will rapidiy bleach the complexion without injur- ing the most delicate skin. To eat an apple last thing at night is a splendid thing for preventing de- gay in the teeth. The acid In the apple cleanses the teeth of all impur- ities, and also aids In the prevention of the accumulation of the deadly tartar, which is at the bottom of near- ly all dental ills. Eat the apple just before going to bed, chewing it thor- cughly, so that the acid will have an opportunity of getting into all the tiny crevices between the teeth. One of the precautions which must be taken by'the woman who is sub- ject to freckles or sunburn is the ap- plication of cold cream to the skin at frequent intervals. In fact, every time she goes out into the open air the beauty seeker must wash her face In warm water (not hot), dry it gently, always remembering to rub up, not down, and then rub into the pores a good cold cream, so that the skin is lightly coated. Then fluff on some powder, smooth this over the com- plexion, and she is ready to meet the sunlight unafraid. A well known woman golfer who owns a beautiful, smooth complexion attributes the preservation of her skin to her metimd of dissolving a little isinglass in hot milk, bathing her face in it and allowing it to dry on before she ventures out. Any feeling of con- traction soon passed off and the isin- glass forms an invisible coating to the skin and protects it from the ravages of the wind. Instead of lIsinglass, cither gelatin or white of egg beaten to a froth may be employed. The lat- ter is an excellent remedy against chapping and is in itself a cleanser. SHADOW PROOF. Of interest to ilke to use a two shade, or a “duplex” shade as it is called, are the new shadow-proof shades Which are made of a patented cloth which fs absolutely opaque. However strong the rays of the sun may be they, beat on the new patented material, it is claimed that the color on the outside will not show through. They come in all color com- binations in plain colors and in striped housekeepers who colored window AID IN DARNING. The work of darning on huckabuck may be lessened if the material is first treated as follows: Lay the huckabuck right side down on a Turk- ish towel and press with a hot iron until thoroughly dry. This will make the surface threads stand up so that they can be very easlly picked up with the needle. DICTATES OF FASHION. ~Guimpes with low turn down collars are wholly of rfet, heavily hand em- broidered. In Paris shirtwaists are made with long sleeves and costume bodices have short ones. Hats of white moire or white vel- vet are to be extremely fashionable for early spring wear. The brillant colored vest of some rich texture is one of the prettiest points of winter suits. Smart in the extreme: are the cur- tains of Russian crash with color in- ewest thing ask is the severely plain cloth with a broad band woven -.bum. the edge. The favorite mlrflu a seal mon- cgram. Coatees, especially when made of material with a mm surface, will complete the modish costume this spring. The coloring of many of them is decidedly startling. A handsome wedding gown seen re- cently had sleéves extending well over the hands. They mtmd snug about the thumb. The bride wore no gloves, S0 there was no difficulty with slip+ ping the ring on the wedding finger. Garters woven and embroidered into the stocking are the latest develop- ment of the tango craze. The mod- ern dance of romping type makes vi ible a good deal more of stocking than would have been considered decorous a decade ago. And stockings have be- come accordingly very gay and or- namental affairs. The new garter stocking is of thread silk in any pre- ferred.color, and the *garter,” placed about four inches below the knee, so that there may be no-doubt of its Vi ibility above the buttoned dancing boot, is in vividly contrasting colors. WHEN YOU SWEEP. TFor sweeping a room neatly there is nothing like newspaper ald. JTake a page of newspaper or other “conven- ient paper, wet in hot water and squeeze until it ceases to drip. Tear into pieces the size of one's hand, cast them all over the carpet, then sweep, and most of the dust in the room, if you use yvour broom judiciously, will be gathered into the papers. After a velvet or other heavy pile ‘carpet is thoroughly swept, a sponging with ammonia and water will preserve its brightness wonderfully FOR COLORED FABRICS. ‘When washing fabrics of delicate colors do net rub soap on the article itself. Instead, make a suds first and immerse the pieces in_ it, rubbing gently between the hands. The color of ginghams Js likely to run in the first washing, so they should previous- 1y be soaked in cold water, to which a tablespoonful of turpentine has been added. NEEDLEWORK NOTES. New American patchwork designs show large pink tulips on a neutral ground. New nursery towels depict boating scenes, with quaint figures, and ob- jects all done in appropriate color- ing and the very simplest of stitches, says/the Racine Journal. Loosely woven ramie linens are much used just now as a background for designs carried out on soft cottons. Outlining, French knots, some solid work and a few eyelets are thrown into relief by rows of evenly spaced darning. The open air girl is not content merely to have a colored crepe de chine handkerchief tucked into the breast pocket of her knitted or fleecy #olf coat. but she must have a bow at her throat to match it exactly in color. These sets are made in the prettlest shades of biue, mauve and canary. FIRELESS KETTLE. The principle of the firéless cooker kettle is the same as the well known fireless cooker, except the kettle does not come in a cabinet. It is made of aluminum and Insulated with mica. On the base is a metal ring, which prevents the kettle from warping when used for baking purposes. The top is arranged so that heat and moisture cannot escape. An asbestos pad ac- companies each kettle, On this the ket- tle is set after it has been allowed to boil about one-third of the time it would require to cook the inclose food in the ordinary stove. There are four zes of the kettles, of two, four, six and eight quart capacity, the two- quart size being for cereals. STALE BREAD. One way of serving stale bread is to cut it in one-fourth inch slices re- move crusts and cut each slice in three finger shaped pleces. Toast on &oth des, arrange in a dripping pan, sprinkle with grated cheese and bake until e cheese is meited. A GOOD FLAVOR. Horseradish sauce adds a piquant flavor to boiled meats, as well as to roasts of beef. Grate a tablespoonful of horseradish, mix it with a gill of cream, a teaspoonful of vinegar, oune of sugar, a salt-spoonful of salt and the samie quantity of mustard. PRUNE ICE CREAM. Prepare cream sauce as for vanilla ice cream. Drain and seed carefully cooked prunes. Rub through the puree sleve or a colander, or they may be even chopped very fine. For every quart of sweet cream, use one pint of the prunes, unsweetened, and one tablespoonful of lemon juice. Freeze, pack and let rlpen for one hour. CONCERNING WOMEN. Over 25,000 women are employed in the manufacture of wool and worsted goods in Leeds, England. E. Berry Wall, once so famous as the arbiter of fashion says that the American girl of to-day is a different creature from the girl of twenty years ago. He ‘thinks that she is drifting toward masculinity, and he says that men do not find such women inter- esting. The chief charm of woman he says, is in being different from the other sex. Mrs. Emma H. L. Knight of New York says that the “goo goo” girl is no longer wanted in business. Men want stenographers and clerks who know their business and who also know how a business woman should dress. An office with a ‘“goo goo” 2irl in it would bé a reflection on the business ability of the man at the head of it. ‘The Vanderbilt hotel in New York has an id for the benefit of ita guests whe have children which might wel! be copied by other hotels. A kindergarten has been established, under a trained teacher, using Monte- sorri and other methods. There are toys of every/description to keep the youngsters amused and in the mean- time they may be learning something worth while. The College Equal Suffrage League of Northern California, has been col- lecting reliable information as to the success of equal suffrage in that state.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR The Democratic Contest. Mr. Editor: It is amusing to see a man going around a baseball field ask- ing men to atteind a decocratic cau- cus for a purpose chiefly selfish in its interest aid for no other purpose than breaking up the democrutic party, a man who has run for office on the democratic ticket three times and been defecated each time. It is no use discussing the success -which a man ?t that type should have and is*hav- ng. This ‘so-called independent, irregular or purity (?) movement is nothing more or less than a ridiculous atteénpt to break up the democratic party for no' other purpese than to make a certain individual postmaster, a po- sition which should have been filled by some democrat six months ago, Think of half a dozen men with a post office bee in their bonnets, around panhandling democrats, have been ask- ing to be sent to the democratic con- vention as delegates for a purpose of that kind. It is very evident that they h.’ue not much interest in democra- The record of the men engaged ln this effort is not one that any dem- ocrat feels very proud of. Three of the would be reformers who are so in- terested in this disorganizing move- ment have n¥de their records and they are not records which any decent cit- izen, to say nothing of a democrat, can feel proud of, and how they can hope to influence any self respecting citizen, to say nothing of a democrat, is beyond belief. Two more of them have been flip-flopping from one party to another. One of them made three political changes from the demochatic to the republican party within almost as many years and now is bacs again claiming himself a democratic for the purpose of breaking up the party only. Another one who Is going around zek- ing people to vote for him was re- cently a member of the town commit- tee Dbut resigned that he mizht g> out and cut the ticket. Now* he asks to be sent as a delegate by a demo- cratic body of men. It is easy to guess what will be the answer when he pre- sents himself in the democratic cau- cus. Another man who is looking to be a candidate and the only reason he gives is that he wants fo go to vote against somebody because he was not appointed factory inspector. It is not many years since he was ad- vocating socialism and is uaderstood to have marched with the so-ialist party in Hartford. Now he he is out to smash the democratic party. (Small men are men of small methods.) That is an itelligent reason and chat rca- son is sufficient to give him a lot of support from anybody. Another man who is now seeking koncrs has hardly got throv the period of probation Norwich and We is out with a large for himseluf. It is easy to guess his finish. Three of these self constituted post. office seekers are not registerei as democrats and are not recognizad oy the democratic party as delegates and ve not even the right to vote in a democratic caucus. The pubdlic wondering where they expect t with their button-holling and back room talking. The men whorm thev = pestering retire and give them a hear: laugh when they get through \\llh their oratory. Let us hope that mor- ality and decency and good citizen- ship will have its influence in dem- ocracy and will awaken to me=t the present conspiracy. It is not nec essary to go deeper into their indl vidual characters but will drop it for the present but trust that every self respecting democrat will take a hand in the interest of good government and suppressing this pestiverous nuisa-ice which is very much Ilke the mosquito in hot weather annoying, but have 17 be screengd. The most fitting thing for any of them to run for wouid be a train and the sponer they catch it the better for the community and themselves. DEMOCRATIC DECENCY.

Benway, republican, is of- féred to the honést democratic voters of Norwich as a delegate to the stat convention? Does it suggest itself to you that the similarity in name with Adolphus Benoit, a tried and true democrat, may be a reason? Does it occur to you that the name of John B. Benway, republican, is being forced down the throats of Norwich demo- crats in_order to confuse and decelve them? It seems to me that the time has some to shake off the shackies of such bossism. Judging by comment which I have heard in many public places, I belleve there is little question that the voters will Monday night elect delegates to the state convention who have an- onunced their desire to support the candidacy of Congressman Bryan Mahan of New London, for the Uni- ted States senate. A GREENEVILLE DEMOCRAT. Norwich, Aug. 23, 1941 the piers for Atlantic steamship travel being built at New London, a 3500, 000.00 appropriation for better and deeper waterways, his antiring efforts jn having the Connecticut Women's College situated at New London and the great interest that he has and is showingz in the proposed canal be- - tween Norwich and Worcester, & pro- ject that if realized. will be of inesti- mable value to Norwich and vicinity. They feel that the nomination ot Con- gressman Mahan would be the nami- nation of an able man and one who has and is doing things for Eastern Connecticut. They agree that Gov- ernor Baldwin is a finished and cap- able jurist, but do not consider it wisdom to elect to the office of U. senator a man who would be 76 yun of age when he took his seat of of- fice. The funds being used in this move- ment are being furnished by the candidates themselves and the cam- paign is receiving absolutely no as- sistance moneywise or otherwise from New London (or anywhere else), as was Intimated in an’ item in a Jocal newspaper of recent date.
