PROPOSED DIVISION OF NORWICH There can be no question from the number of representative citizens of Norwich before the legislative hearing at Hartford Tuesday that full recognition is given to the meaning of the effort to divide the town. It is one of the matters of greatest im- portance in years and the opposition which has been indicated must be vigorously continued. It is a viclous proposal which con- cerns every town in the state. It has mo more justification than the bill which has just been reported adverse- ly for the breaking up of New Haven into fourteen towns. It is proposed to take over half of the present town ©of Norwich and establish a new town, with what results no one can tell, be- rause of an illusionary fear that tax- Btion would be increased through an unthreatenea consolidation of the town and the city. Such a fear is entirely without foun- dation. There is no movement, no sen- timent in favor of consolidation and none is contemplated. The big mills at Taftville were started by Norwich ~capital and they are a credit to the town. They have mot been hurt and there is no disposition to hurt them. Rather is there the desire to encour- age such enterprise. The company has no grievance only such as is im- agined. How are the other towns of the state with industries in their outskirts, which have been alded and encouraged In their prosperity going to look upon such a divislon of sovereign town- ships? Are the other 167 towns of the state prepared to be cut in two the same as is being trled with Nor- wich, because some corporation has & dream? It is a situation In which the whole state has reason for a more substantial fear than that which has taken possession of the petitioners, It Is & dangerous proposition under which Connecticut can anticipate a thousand an4 one towns instead of the present 168. It is agaimst the interests of the state, an injustice to the town of Nor- wich, a piece of legislation which should be killed. The petition, sup- ported by two witnesses, an engineer And signers of petitions, a large num- ber of whom are now opposed to it, should get a full hearing, a full con- ¥ideration 'of the facts and an inspec- Hon of the town by the full commit- lee, for facts, not unfounded fears or ansupported statements, must govern In reaching the decision. Norwich must continue to put forth its oppo- sition to such a radically wrong en- leavor, en masse. PROTECTING NEUTRALITY, While Germany is claiming that the Dresden was sunk in neutral waters, Inis country has taken steps to see that nothing of the kind happens to Ihe converted cruiser Prinz Eitel Friedrich, which the warships of the Mlies are waiting to sink the minute jt gets the proper distance from New- port News. This is the mission of the Alabama. The government is aware of the time In which the German vessel must de- part or as an alternative intern for the remainder of the war. It is not tware of what its commander pro- poses to do, however, but it is deter- =q that the rizhts of this country. will not be infringed if it is possible to prevent ft. Neither side is going to be permitted to take advantage of its protection by simply standing by and watching results. The Alabama is statloned at that point to proteat the neutrality of the United States and it can be relied upon to do it, whether that means the insistence upon an early decision from the German com- mander as to his intentions, the forc- icg of any combat to a point beyond the three mile limit, or the prevention of vessels carrving supplies or fuel to the watchdogs cruising about off the capes waiting for the rover to appear. Just how Captain Thlerichens ex- pects to elude the enemy’s ships does mot appear. At tho best it will be taking a desperate chance to get out of a cornered position in which he has not only the destruction of his ves- sel, but the neutrality of this country to consider. NO TIME TO STOP. The announcement by the federal authorities that the confession of a “mistake” by the New York young woman, who positively identified the wrong man in support of her claim for $50,000 against him on the ground that he had failed to keep his promise of marriage, would not bring to an end their activity relative to the blackmail features of the case is gratifying. It indicates that the new attitude of the milliner is not solely that brought about by the discovery of a mistake of the plan so much as it might be a serionis mistake in the selection of the individual who was expected to give up. - The fight which Attorney Osborme Put up is only what might be ex- pected from any innocent defendant. The idea that such charges can be brought and then dropped after all the notoriety that must accompany, sim- ply on the claim that it was a “mis- take” is something the public needs to be protected against. Fortunate therefore was it that such a fighter as J. W. Osborne was selected as the “guilty” party in that affair. He has rendered & service through the opposi- tion he put up_which is of value as a discouragement to the idea that people can be frightened into parting with thefr hard cash through the dread of the publicity which goes with such a lawsuit. Many would have been inclined to make s financial sacrifice to escape the annoyance even though as innocent as the accused. Having made a statement which ab- solves Mr. Osborne but of which At- torney Marshall says portions are al- most unbelievable, it is important that | the whole scheme should be laid bare | and due punishment meted out. Jus- tice to the public demands ft. HBLPING MEXICO. If, as it is claimed, representatives of three of the largest South Amer- fcan countries have made the sugges- tion that the United States select one of the strongest men to be found in Mexico, such as a man of the Diaz type, and place him in charge of the government of Mexico, they must real ize that the suggestion is the easiest part of the undertaking. That the South American republics would lend their support and give recognition to such a president, it is not hard to believe but while it might be an easy mattter to select & man who could with the proper support place Mexico on its feet, it 1s an entirely different thing to keep him in office. Unless such & plan had the support of all the present factions in Mexico today it would amount only to a waste of time unless this country was pre- pared to furnish the military force necessary to maintain the government and that it Is not going to do. It woirld only be adding another to the list of chair fillers in that republic, for despits its condition, Mexico is bound to oppose interference, The need of putting a speedy end to the present state of affairs in Mex- ico has long been apparent. An at- tempt to accomplish it was made some time ago without result, though under different conditions. Since then the situation has grown steadily worse with nothing to indicate an early ad- justment. If Mexico was disposed to be guided by reason it might be easy for the republics of this part of the world to give it a helping hand through pome such plan as suggested, but Mexico is not inclined that way just yet, however much it needs it, EDITORIAL NOTES.

What an admirable day for the dis- position of a lot of fool legislation be- fore the general assembly. 014 is the warning to beware of the ides of March, but it is nothing com- pared to the first of April, The man on the corner says: Chil- blains have gome, but anybody with the hives can keep as busy as the, bees. ] Mexico may be able to work out its own salvation, but its greatest diffi- culty comes in being able to suit others. March has made its last lion-like appearance. ~The task of satisfying the people is now turned over to tear- ful but ltkable April, The Prinz Bitel Friedrich has kept the allles’ cruisers guessing for a long time and it appears to have included this country in the list. That J. P, Morgan has gone to Lon- don to arrange for a big war loan in this country may explain his recent sale of some of the Morgan art treas- ures, The large purchases of horses which are being made in this country for shipment to Europe ought to be cheer- ing to the auto dealers, if not to Dob- bin. The sinking and then the recovery of German submarines is proving a profitable business for Great Britain, but Germany is satisfied to put Brit- ish vessels under the water.

The wound which General Von Kluck received from shrapnmel is not likely to prove half as serious as the one caused by his removal from com- AN ACCOMPLICE Mrs. Crompton came stealthilv out from a tall clump of shrubbery, and, looking warily down the park walk, met the astonished eyes of an old friend. “Why, Hallle Dwight, how do you do?" she said in a decidedly overdone casual manner. “And what have you done? You look as if you had been stealing chickens,” Mrs. Dwight laughed, and then, as the evidence of embarrassment burned with a deeper crimson in Mrs. Cromp- ton's cheeks, she said: “Is anything the matter, Jane?” 0, of course not—not really—but I feel so foolish. You see I've been hiding in the bushes here. “Good gracious, you, hiding! Of all the straightforward, frank, .open-and- above-board people T know, you're the last one I'd expect to find hiding. Were you trying to_escape the police or a bill collector? Or were you mere- Iy endeavoring to retire from the city's din_and invite —~nr soul?” “I don’t wonder that you can’t take my hiding seriously, but the fact is, T was really tryins to conceal myself untfl some people got safely by.” “Oh, incorrigible bores, 1 suppose.” 0, mot that I know of. I really don't know much about most of them. But I just simply had to hide from them. At least, it seemed so, and yet I don’t know whether I did right or not. I'm afraid that maybe I didn’t” “Goodness, how mysterious!” “Paticnce! I'm going to tell you all! You may not know that I have a young friend at Miss Rensalaer’s school. Ethel is the daughter of a school- mate of mine, and, of course, when she came to Miss Rensalear’s last au- tumn, I called at once and have had her at my house several times. She is as pretty and as winsome as she can be, and I've been intending to give a little schoolgirl tea for her, but I can't do that now. I can’t see her agaln this winter—at least, I don't believe I can,” Mrs,_Dwight sighed. “As the French say, pray continue; you interest me.” “Well, a day or two ago I received a letter from Ethel. She alarmed me very much by remarking at the start that she was in great trouble and that everything _depended on me! She begged me to stay away from theschool not to telephone or answer the letter. I am the silent partner in her crime, for, of course, this escapade of hers has assumed criminal proportions in her eyes. I'm not sorry that she is well scared, poor child; it may be wholesome for her. “She told me that a boy friend in her home town had written to a. friend here to call on her, and when he ap- peared, and asked for her one even- ing, Miss Rensalaer inquired where she had met him. Instead of telling the | truth, she said that he had been at a little ‘Saturday tea, which I had given for her. Here, I have the letter in my bag. Let me read some of it to you! | was sure she wouldn't let me see him. If she—that's Miss Rensalaer— knew I hadn’'t ever met him; that he was just a friend of a boy friend of mine; Ethel writes; ‘so it popped into my head quite suddenly to_tell this dreadful whopper. Miss Rensalaer said I could receive him that once, and she would inquire of you about him. For, you know. she doesn’t allow any young men callers who are not in- dorsed by proper people. I hoped she would forget about asking you, but I might have known she wouldn't. Miss Rensalaer is one of those awful peo- Pple who never forget anything. ““When she sala she was going to telephone you, T got in an awful funk, and I told her you were very ill, and today she asked me how you were and I said you had gome south for your health. T don't see, dear Mrs, Cromp- ton, how I could lle so easily and quickly, for I haven't the habit, honest- ly, I haven't, and I am terribly ashamed. “qf Miss Rensalaer finds it out, T just know she will expel me, and that would break mothers heart. You know how delicate my darling mother is, so please, please, If you care for her, don't come near the school or make your presence known in any way. I promise you solemnly that when I go home Easter, T'll confess everything to mother, and she will understand, Don’t worry ‘about the boy. He's nothing but a stupid and I never want to see him again.'” “Did you really give a tea for her?" “No, ‘indeed! That's part of the whole' fabrication.” “What a. little romancer she is.” “What a little frightened schoolgirl she is! Do you wonder that I never go in the street now where the school is and that when I saw all the pupils and teachers out for their walk this afternoon I took to the bushes? I must keep under cover until Easter, anyway. It may not be ethically cor- rect, but I can't find it in my heart to expose Ethel to the scorn of Miss Ren- salaer. You see, Hallie, I went to school to that very good woman my- self.”—Chicago News. Stories of A Submarine Hunt. Count Reventlow, in the Tageszel- tung, describes a “submarine hunt” by British destroyer: “The lght footed torpedo-boats either cruise at definite distance from each other or they lie still, preserving the same distances. Each of them, however, exercise all the time an ex- tremely careful control of that sec- tion of the sea appointed for it. The moment that the periscope of a sub- marine or perhaps the conming tower, appears above the surface, it is fired at, or else a torpedo-boat which hap- pens to be favorably placed for the manoeuvre leaps at top speed toward the point where the submarine has ap- peared, its object being to ram the submarine before the adversary has seen 1t or has time to dive deep enough to_enable the vessel to glide over-it. “Even if the attempt to ram is a failure the enemy’s destrovers only in- crease their watchfulness, on the ground that the submarine must sooner or later come somewhere to the- sur- face to get its bearings. That is par- ticularly’ the case in waters where there is a great deal of merchant skipping. “Owing to the narrow range of vision of the submarine through its peri- ocope, compared to the range of its own visibility from the bridge of a destroyer, it is quite possible for a destroyer to receive it and reach the spot traveling at full speed before the submarine in turn can sight the de- stroyer and dive for safety. “It follows necessarily that subma- es should show themselves as little as possible on the surface of the water. Recently, it has been repeatedly stated that German submarines have sum- mand of the troops in the west. moned British or French steamers to step and ordered the crew to leave the vessel by signal or magaphone. That is doubtless humane, but it is exceed- ingly dangerous and may be even sui- cidal. “Destroyers so far off, or in such a light, as to be invisible from a sub- marine, may be lurking or may note the meeting of submarine and steamer apd may rapidly approach the spot, hidden perhaps behind the merchant ship, The delay in sinking the mer- chiantman may then easily prove fatal to the submarine. “The torpedo-boat is the submarine's worst enemy. They can be used in all waters. There are large numbers of them “available. They are exceeding- ly mobile, and can rise from passivity to maximum speed at a moment’s no- tice. They carry guns with very rapid fire and capable of mortally injuring at a considerable distance any subma- rine showing itself on the surface.” Firing From Trenches. The old Spanish way of holding the rifie overhead ip firing from a trench 50 as to endanger only the hands of the firer, a method which has caused foreign observers to ridicule the fight- ing of Spanish-American armies and which made the fire of the insurrec- tionists so ineffective in the Phillipine ‘war, has been adopted by the British army. But it is not the haphazard fire, for the alming is done by peri- scope. Instructors are now employed in the English training camps to teach this method of firing, which requires a new technique. These men have astonished sceptical officers by making shots that would be creditable to a_sharpshooter under the old method of holding the eye to the sight. Just how it is done is not explained, but it is known that the gun is held at arm’s length in the air, upside down. Both sides are now directing a heavy continuous fire upon each other, and the men killed and wounded in the trenches are almost always struck on the head. Scared the Fishermen. Four fishermen who had anchored their boat near Deal report a visit from a German submarine, which scared the quartette out of their wits and spoiled the fishing for the day. One of the four men, seated in the stern of the small boat, first noticed a considerable disturbance of the water Jjust beyond the end of his fishpole. He shouted to his companions, thinking that a shark or some other big fish had been entangled in his lines. All four had their eyes glued to the spot where | the water was disturbed when the sub- marine emerged only a few yards away. A door in the top operied and a single head appeared for a minute or two. Then the head withdrew into the submarine, the door popped shut, and the craft sank slowly out of sight again. Not a word was enchanged with the the War fishermen, who had been so alarmed at the visitor's sudden appearance that they had not even offered a greeting. Their frisht was not allayed by the submarine’s return to the depths, and as socn as they regained senses they divested themselves of their clothes and put on life-preservers in case their boat, barely large enough to boast a sail, was attacked. The wind being dead for the moment, they grasped oars and rowed with might and main for the shore, where they informed the life-guards of their fortunate escape. The submarine had apparently been resting at the bottom close to their fishing ground and had come to the surface for observation purposes be- fore starting off again. The Loneliest Man. Some 800 remembrances form but part of the reward that Private A. C. White of the First Rifle Brigade is getting _for belng “the loneliest man in the British expeditionary force.” The trouble started through a pa- thetic letter written by a patient in a military hospital near the firing line and published in a London newspaper. It reads: “Of the many unfortunate soldiers I have met out here this young lad seems most to deserve the title of the lonely man. He has not received a letter or a parcel since he came out here, because b has no friends. No one cares enough for him to send him the slightest word of encouragement. “I don’t mind as a rule,; he confided to me with a break in his voice which belied his words, ‘but when I see the other chaps with their letters and pagcels full of things to eat, I feel “He did not tell me what he felt, but I knew. He is here with nerves and weakness, and they are doing their best to cure him with pills. What he needs is not pills, but a little human sympathy.” This letter was published some days ago. Now comes another letter from the hospital which says: “About 150 people Wrote to White at once, as he got 120 letters and post- cards at one time and 30 packets, newspapers and parcels followed. Next mail brought 470 letters and postcards and about 200 packets, = papers and parcels.” is companions, whom he once en- vied, are now helping him read his mail and also to eat up the delicacies with which_he is swamped. But_ the gifts have had the intended effect. They have done far more than pills to improve White's condition. Uncovered Spy System. The following story of a pretty girl and a susceptible officer which ended in the discovery of a system of espionage, is published here. “An officers, about to take the train OUCH! LUMBAGO?

The girl in a burst of gratitude threw her arms about his neck and kissed him. ‘T have your word,’ she cried after him as—the train started, ‘yowll post it at Paris this evening.’ “Before reaching Paris the officer had time to reflect upon some of the curlous circumstances of the affair, He pulleq the letter out of his pocket and found the address read: ‘Madame X 2 Then he recalled that the girl had told him she was_writing to her sweetheart. ‘Madame X- in that case could only be an intermedi- ary “He reasoned that the peculiar cir- cumstances justified him in looking into the letter. He opened it and read: My dear friend— ‘Contrary to the information I have already given you my aunt Jane will be at Z with her baggaze on the 2nd. You know that my relation still has a great deal of baggage. I think that she will arrive during the night. “The officer needed no more but car- ried the letter to the Intelligence head- quarters where it was figured out that this letter reported the arrival of im- portant French reinforcements at a critical point on the battle front.” While Not Fighting. Under the uniform of the soldier va- rious trades and professions are hid- den, all of which prove useful in one way or another in camp or trench. The woodcutter of last year still goes on with his wood-cutiing, although now he chops wood for heating pur- poses at the front or for use in rein- forcing the trenches. Several infar- trymen when not in the trenches spend their nights in the marshes fishing for eels. A fair night's catch is fft which sell for about four cents each. Men who were mechanics before the war now employ their spare time man- ufacturing tinder boxes and other ar- ticles out of old cartridge cases. One can obtain pen-knives, pencil cas scissors, cigarette holders, and a va- riety of similar articles thus ham- mered out of cartridge cases. Agricultural workers spend their spare time helping the farmers with whom they are billeted. Soldier- barbers do a roaring trade and find customer among the civilians as well as the military. Tailors and bootmak- ers also find many occasions to use their skill. Leather workers gather up odd pieces of leather from discarded harness or equipment and make it up into pocketbooks or cases for various articles. Soldiers with a fair educa- tion fing plenty of work teaching French to the English soldiers or vice verga, Some of the English soldiers number among _their pupils several civillans, all of whom are eager to master the intricacies of English, and a fair proportion of these civilian pupils are of the fair sex. The military authorities thus far have had no occasion to notice these little side employments, which are not exactly allowed by military rules. They orefer to close their eyes, how- ever, as long as the work helps to keep the soldier busy and happy. Maxim That Holds True. “He dines not that eats alone” was a maxim which never fell upon dis- honor. That we should notice similar- ity rather than differences, as we look backward, is but natural. The craving for well-cooked food is whole somely human, and if the palate grows more delicate as the appetite becomes less gross the change is not peculiar to this country or that.
