From a favorable report by the hu- ‘mane institutions committee to a sim- ilar report by the appropriations com- mittee upen every question which comes before them may be a long way, because the approval of a pro- position upen its merits and the loca- tion of funds with which to meet the expenses involves two different points of view, but if the finances of the state will warrant such an expendi- ture during the next two years, there is every reason why the approval of the bill for a state reformatory for women by the first named commit- tee should recelve the sanction of that on appropriations. State finances play an important part at Hartford this year and many propositions which are deserving are likely to be passed solely for that rea- son. That Connecticut should have a reformatory for women has long been recognized. It has seen the wisdom of prviding such an institution for the men in realization of the help that can thus be given to a great many as a preventive to becoming hardened criminals, and it is equally important that a similar chance should be given to the women of the state who ave included in the list of erring. With such institutions as are available for the reception of those with wrong tendencies unable to meet the situa- tion, the quicker proper provision is made for the reformation of thcse who rre inclined in the ways of wrong, the better will be the results a‘tained. March 20 H H ; and § Danielson to over 1,100 and in ; H H i i THE CAPTURE OF PRZEMYSL. Petrograd has reason for its elation over the fall of Przemysl. - The sur- render of this important fortress with which goes control of all Galicia was accomplished after a long siege In which starvation played its part. In comparison with the capture of Ant- werp it required a long time but it aid not experience the handicaps of that fortress or the opposition. The Rus- sians lacked the heavy artillery with which to reduce the fortifications and were obliged to resort to the old time methods of starving them out, which proved successful in the end although once abandoned. It offsets such re- verses as the Russians have experi- enced at other points and demon- strates that their offensive cannot be disregarded. A good sized force was taken pris- oners in the capitulation but the two greatest effects of the fall are the control of that territory with its main line of rallroad leading to Cracow, énd the release of the 100,000 or more Russian troops which have been en- zaged in the operations at that point, for service elsewhere. Just what this will lead to will develon in time, but whether they are directed against Cracow, sent through the passes into THungary or turned about to aid those forces which have been experiencing reverses in Bukowina, they mean an additional army which can be expect- ed to be of much value In whichever direction they are sent. It may be as a Vienna dispatch de- clares that such a possibility as the surrender of the stronghold had been reckoned on for a long time, but at a distance it can hardly be conceived that it has ‘“no influence upon the general situation.” -~ SOUTH AMERICAN TRADE, Senator Burton is to make a trip through South America. He is going to vieit an interesting and growing country and one of the continents with which this country should be in the closest touch. He will learn much which should be of the highest value to the United States and it would be an excellent thing if representatives of the business interests were carry- Ing on a more active campaign for the development of the trade between those countries and this. It has been a fact for a long time that this country buys extensively in that quarter of the globe but fails to balance it by a like amount return. It is a situation which ought not to exist and if there was ever a time for overcoming it, it is the present. Last year we purchased from South America goods to the grand total of $222,077,076 while our products were sent there to the value of $124,539,909, leaving a balance of trade in their fa- vor of $187,012,514. This isn't because South America is able to supply all b= wants, for such is not the case. It is a tremendous buyer in foreign mar- kets but conditions have been such that the benefit of it has been secured in, Europe. With that source cut off we cannot afford to sit idly by and let those countries wait for such a time as will permit Burope to resume its former position as provider. It is possible and natural that the United States industries should be finding a larger outlet in that direction but it cannot e left to an individual. There should be a concerted and persistent endeavor to get and to hold our right- ful business relations with those growing countries, COURTESY. When the New Haven road posts in its offices and stations a placard set- ting forth the value of courtesy it @i- rects attention to a virtue which should be possessed by every individ- ual and therefore exist throughout ev- ery great corporation or system. It makes for better relations between those who must work together, and between the representatives of a big or a little corporation and those with whom they do business it should characterize all dealings. Just how much the posting of such cards will result in accomplishing is problematical but if it does anything at all it will be well worth the time and trouble expended. There isn't & minute of the day when some em- ploye of the great road does not have the opportunity to put it into prac- tice. Courtesy like safety first can be well kept in the forefront of a list of things which should not be at- tempted but done. It is easy to tell how much can be accomplished through the courteous reply, through the courteous transaction of business and through courteous assistance by simply putting them into practice. The difference is marked when compared with the results of discourtesy, the sharp and unsatisfactory answer and inattention to what may seem little and unnecessary things but which by thelr very lack of politeness make a |l lasting adverse impression. There is always an opportunity for the exercise of courtesy. Not only Wil it like a soft answer turneth away wrath but it is something which no railroad system can afford to be with- out. The New Haven has given its employes an excellent reminder. MUST BE SETTLED ON MERITS. The statements which are heing made relative to the postoffice appro- priation bill and the causes for its de- feat make it evident that this is bound to be one of the great questions before the next congress. For a long time there has been an effort made to adjust the question of railway mail pay, it being recognized that roads were not recaiving fair treatment by the continuance of the rates which were in existence before the parcel post went into effect. De- spite the investigation and report of a special commission only the change in the method of determining payment, and not the rates suggested were rec- ommended by the postoffice depart- ment. Despite this, however, the post- master general puts forth the charge that it was the rallroads and a rail- road lobby which blocked the bill, and it s but natural that it calls forth strong denials from members of the committee on postoffices and post- roads. The fact is that the department clashed with the commission which had devised the way of fairly adjust- ing the contention and inasmuch as it concerned a matter of sixty million dollars it was not a matter which should have been rushed through con- gress at the last minute. It deserved to be thoroughly debated with the set- ting forth of all arguments fully and clearly. The time of the session had been so wasted in the endeavor to push through the ship’ purchase bill that when it came time to consider this important financial problem it was impossible to do it justice and it went by the board. It still remains to te settled on its merits.

Jis like going to Milwaukee to visit one of those far northern suburbs,” I said. “At what hour shall we set forth? “Oh, dear! Whnat a long trip it will be!” sighed Maude. “If we could only go in the machine it wouldnit be so bad, but when we have to take at least three lines of transportation it seems almost too much of a burden.” “Why can’t we go in the car?” I asked. “That would simplify the journey very much.” “Ernest doesn't take it out very often in winter. It's an open car, you know. Besides he is out of town and even if he were home I wouldn't ask him to drive out to the Sturtevants’.” “No, of course not. It would be ask- ing a good deal of a mere husband,” I sald laughingly. “But why not get a chauffeur to drive us?” “Ernest always drives the car him- self. He says that's the fun of owning one. We never have a chauffeur.” “Well, it's never too late to begin having one! It seems to me, Maude, that it's the rational thing to do. It's really a shame to have a perfectly good car languishing in the garage when you have such a long, hard trip to take. It would be so easy, dear, to get a chauffeur from the big garage on the corner, for the afternoon. Even if your car isn’t a limousine, we could be com- fortable. T'll take the soapstone from our fireless cooker: Don't you think the drive will be delightful, this bright, crisp das “You certainly tempt me, but I don't know what Ernest would say.” “Why, I think he would be glad to have you use the car. It's yours as much ‘as his, isn't it “Of course it is.” “Well, then, we must get ready for the ride. What fun it will be! LIl run home and heat the soapstone, and I be- lieve Tll borrow grandmother's fur q circular to wear outside my own coat. Have you plenty of warm things? You can take mother's old blanket shawl for an extra wrap. There's lots of warmth in it. Youwd better tele- phone the garage while I'm here, so I'll know just when we're to start. Here Tll find the number for you. There isn’t any time_to lose.” .As soon as Maude had arranged for the chauffeur’s services I flew home to make preparations, and when the car drew up in front of the house at a little before 2 I was ready and waiting. I really pride myself upon being prompt. “Worl't this be jolly fun?” I cried as I took my place beside Maude. “I hope it will be all right” she answered, without as much enthusiasm as I might have expected. And going out it was delightful— so much pleasanter in evefy way than traveling on street cars and _trains. However, coming back it was extreme- 1y cold and when we got home I rushed right into the house without _very formal adieux, for I was chilled through. I wished to get thoroughly warm, as I was going to the theatre in the evening with George Require, and I didn‘t think that he would ad- mire a blue nose. This morning mother came to me looking annoyed. “Lucile,” she said, “it seems almost foolish to ask you, as yon are so remarkably free from house- hold care, but I wonder whether by any possibility you know the whereabouts of the fireless cooker soapstones. I can’t see how such cumbersome things could be lost. Tilly says that she left them in_the cooker, but they're not there. Who in the world would take them out?” “Why,” T laughed, “I did, mother. Mrs. Humphreys and I used them for foot warmers the day we drove out to the_ Sturtevants.” “Well.” mother’s voice was impatient, “why didn't you put them back? Where are they now?” “Oh, I'm afraid I forgot to take them out of the car. It was so freezing cold that I jumped risht out and ran in the minute we got here.” “I must ask you to go over to Mrs. Humphreys and get them, for Tilly is to bake beans and brown bread.” “Can’t Tilly go?” o, she can't! She is busy mixing the bread,” answered mother, so al- though I don’t like carrying awkard, heavy bundles I ran over to Maude's and told her I must have the soapstones immediately. “Why, I don’t know where they are,” she replied. “You see, the car isn't in our garage now. Oh. Lucile, that dreadfully careless chauffeur we had that day left the water in the radiator and when Ernest went to get the car, as he does so often Sunday morning, he found that the water had fro%en and burst the radiator. He was ter- ribly annoyed.” Maude sighed “I don’t know when he has been so vexed, and THE WAR PRIMER By National Geographic Society Luxemburg—“The tiny, independent State of Luxemburg has been almost lost sight of while Europe is fighting its great war. Vast war armies swept over this infant monarchy at the be- ginning of the war, passed beyond, and left it all undamaged far behind the battle lines. Luxemburg was in no position to oppose the passage of an Empire’s forces, and, therefore, quietly submitted to the passage of the Ger- man army. Hence it is still the pos- sessor of a well-developed industry, of smiling fields and meadows, and of a people happy in the security of their young men. When the Kaiser’'s army corps started by way of this Grand Duchy into France, Luxemburg had a standing army of 200 and about 150 policemen with which to oppose the German endeavor. Such of an army as the Grand Duchess had was above rerroach, well-drilled, well set-up, well-fed, and handsomely uniformed and comparisoned, but it might as well have set out to stay the tidal waves of the sea as to have mobilized in defense of its neutrality. “While Luxemberg’s army formed such a depressing minority of the State’s people that it was not large enough to do battle with the police force of any of the larger cities of its neighbors, the 998 square miles of tke Grand Duchy’s territory Is the most fortunate of all the regions in that part of Europe, while the people there have fewer losses to mourn than any population from the Pyrenees to Kam- chatka on the Pacific. Moreover, the standing army of Luxemburg still musters 200 men, 150 police, and not a captain, a colonel or a general is miss- ing. “This_little monarchy has belonged, at one time or another, to each one of its surrounding neighbors; it has been German, Dutch, French, Austrian and Spanish _territory. It is-how one of the smallest independent States in the world; ruled by a Grand Duchess who is little more than twenty years old and possessed of a Constitution and a House of Representatives, It is an agricultural country, though there are some rich iron deposits within it out of the development of which a thriving iron and steel industry has grown, with a production in 1801 valued at $1£,900,000. The railroads and customs of Luxemburg are managed by the German Empire. The people speak a German dialect, with an intermixture of French. The total population is ‘about 250.000.” I don’t wonder, for it is too bad to have anything happen to this handsome car that Ernest is so proud of.” I fancied that I could detect a hint of reproach in her voice, but it was surely not my fault that she had not warned the chauffeur about the danger of leaving thc-water in the machine, in their cold little shed of a garage. I roerely said I was awfully sorry about it and asked where she thought the soapstones were. “I'm sure I haven't an idea,” she answered. “But I suppose they went down to the repair shop in the car. They're not in the garage, I know, for I was out there with Ernest after the car was towed away.” “Well, if that isn't exasperating” I said. “Yes, it's too bad,” remarked Maude with provoking nonchalance, and I went home to tell mother. She was ridic- ulously upset over what was really a small matter. I had to remind her that a few yvears ago she had never even heard of a fireless cooker. “IPm sure we'll get them back all right,” I sald, soothingly. “You'd better telephone to the repair shop right away,” insisted mother. I did so, but the people in the shop said had not seen any soapstones in the car. I fear that some one must hav appropriated them. It certainly was inexcusable of Ernest and Maude not to have taken them out of the car. I car’t understand such carelessness about other peoyle's property.”—Chi- cago News. Stories of the War Service on. a Mine Sweeper. A young American who recently signed for adventurous service as a member of the crew of a mine-sweep- er, sends the following account of one of his trips out into the North Sea: “Order: You will proceed at once to and will sweep the area marked on the accompanying chart.” This was the order which sent us hammering into the head seas of a lively wind on_ a bitterly cold Sunday morning at four o'clock. Probably few of us on the staggering trawler at that hour paused to reflect that the duty of sweeping the sea has been imposed upon by a “discovery” made in the far East, when Japan and Rus- sla entered upon costly tests of mod- ern naval fighting equipment to the benefit of keenly interested spec ta- itors. That the discovery was the of- fensive value of the submarine mine. Japan led the way in the matter, but Russia, once awakened, followed with such efficiency that at the final bal- ance it wes found that Japan had lost ten warships through mines and Russia fourteen. The mines had done practically as much harm to the re- spective navies as the ship had been able to inflict upon each other. “Therefore it was that we were plunged into a snowstorm to collect if possible, any free mines which the gale might have swept into the track of shipping. It takes a tight vessel to survive the welter and smother which rise so quickly in these waters. In the winter months, especially, the work goes on amid conditions of great severity, and our ships frequently keep the sea as mine sweepers when as trawlers they would flee to the shltr of thir harbors. “Our ship is one of the best of her staunch type, and she reeled along wonderfully on that Sunday morning. Somewhere in the darkness to star- board there showed through the whirling snow the lights of another vessel running on the same course as ourselves, and at the same speed. The dawn came up and showed her to be kin to s, and the signals at once made clear that in her we beheld our sweping partner. There arises a curi- ous respect for her. She must know quite well that at any moment her plunging bows may meet a mine and then there would be a vacancy at her end of the drag tackle and vacancies in little cottages in the isles. “Our partner was an old friend and knew the work. Arrived at the ap- pointed area, the little vessels ran close in and the gear was linked up. It was hard work, even for trawlers. That marked the beginning of the day. The little vessels separated, found their distance to a nicety in the teeth of the wind, and started off. The whole operation was carried through with scarcely a word uttered, and the long day’'s work was under way. Hour after hour, through suc- cession of rain, hail and snow, careful drag was kept. If there were frozen feet in the trenches that day, there ‘were also frozen hands on the seas. “Fifteen hours of drenching and buffeting were our portion that day. The vessel, with the pull of the tackle and the drive of her engines keeping her down like a half-tide rock, was never clear of the sweeping seas. Thud, slap, crash, swish,—they came over her bows and swirled along the deck, never ceasing their constant as- sault. “When the snow passed, there was a glimpse of sun. Then the wind backed against the sun, and came down on us in wild gusts, icy cold. As the afternoon wore on the cold increased, and just before nightfall came a strange lull which let in a biting frost. “The hardy fellows on board were stiff and numb before the day was done,, and when the gear was slipped and shipped nobody was sorry. “The disposal of the mines recover- ed depends upon their character and the circumstances of their recovery. Frequently our gunners explode them by firing into them from the deck. “The mine sweepers have won re- cognition for their service in the war. ‘Working with them at their toilscme and dangerous task, one is impressed with the precision and care with which they fullfill their appointed duty.” One Subdued Six. ‘The story of an aviator who came back to the Russian lines with an Austrian prisoner strapped to the tail frame of his aeroplane is told in a dispatch from the front in Poland. “The airmé&n, Terentic Paschaloff, ers in the rear of General Ivanoff's army in his 150 horspower machine, ascended from the aviation headquart- accompanied by his mechanic. The mechanic carried a small gun and a number of bombs. Owing to motor trouble, Paschaloff had to descend two miles behind the Austrian lines. While the mechanic ‘was repairing the motor, six Austri- an approached. Paschaloff turned his one pounder on them and fired one shrapnel shell, which exploded accurately and felled five men. The sixth surrendered. Then the problem came—what ‘would he do with his prisoner? Pas- chaloff decided to abandon his stock of bombs, and tie his prisoner to the tail-frame of his machine. ‘Thus burdened the aeroplane rose and flew over the Austrian lines amid a storm of bullets, regaining the Russian lines without damage. .

Building progress is always proof of prosperous conditions, despite the un- pleasant experiences of some who, on too small capital, undertake to finance great building plans. In New England, there never has been a time, no matter how dark the outlook, when there were too many homes, or too many factory buildings for the demands of business builders and their employes. Though the returns may be small in some seasons, the return of the tide has never failed to force further expansion in building accommodations.—Waterbury Republican. Prosecuting officials throughout the state are showing a commendable per- sistency in locating and pressing charges against men who desert their wives and families, shifting the re- sponsibility for their support upon the community. Judges are to be commended upon the manner in which they are cooperating by imposing sentences that should prove to be forci- ble object lessons. Time and money expended in this work is well used. The only thing to be regretted is that more money is not available to enable the work of hunting down the deserters upon a more extensive scale. Viewed merely from a mercenary standpoint, the work is along the lines of economy. —-Manchester Herald. This demand for a women’s reform- atory is not the idle musings of an ldealist.
