It was a free lance doing its best to intercept and sink vessels of the enemy and even had it succeeded in escaping the temporary harm which it might do would only be slight, while its career as a raider has already caused its country to be injured in the eves of neutrals. There is no dishonor in the action which has been taken. It was an un- armored and only lightly armed pas- senger vessel converted to meet the requirements of a commerce raider and what it has dome is only what had -previously been done by a Ger- man gunboat in the Pacific. Tt is far better that the several hundred lives aboard should thus be conserved than that they should be carried out intd the Atlantic to be killed or drowned like rats in a trap. Nothing worth while could have been gained by any other action. The Circulation of The Bulletin The Bulletin has the largest eirculation of any paper in East- ern Connecticut and from three to four times larger than that of any in Norwich. It is delivered o over 3,000 of the 4,053 houses in Norwich, and read by minety- three per cent. of the pecple. In Windham it is delivered to over 800 "houses, in Putnam and Danielson to over 1,100 and In &ll of these places it is consid- ered the local daily. Eastern Connecticut has forty- nine towns, one hundred and sixty-five postoffice districts, and sixtv rural free delivery routes. The Bulletin is sold In every town >~ on all of the R. F.

In many cities at this time there {1s being put forth an appeal for an- |other clean-up campaign, The idea (has been put into operation for.a inumber of years past with excellent iresults. Perhaps it has never been ipossible to say that all was accom- (plished during a clean-up week that imight have been or that was intend- {ed, but there always Is the satisfac- ‘tion of knowing that much which ’m‘ghl never have been attempted was {ctually done. Tinattractive places, leyesores and accumulations of rub- ‘bish in backyards, cellars and alley- ways need constant attention, but there should be one time during the year at least when an extra effort o clean up ought to be made, Public interest and activity are con- tagious. Once a movement is sin- cerely and earnestly started it quick- Iy accumulates cdoperation. The clean- up effort makes an appeal which can- not be entirely ignored, for even those who are not disposed to give attention to such matters get the inspiration from the force of good example. If the clean-up campaign could get such a hold upon a community as the housecleaning habit it would be one of the best things that could happen to it, for not only would that city soon be entitled to the name of Spotless Town, but it would make most valu- mble contributions to its health condi- tlons and for the removal of the breed- ing places of flies and mosquitoes. Thus with the coming of spring the clean-up week is to be welcomed and encouraged. Plenty of _enthusiasm will make it a success. It pays and it is a week which Norwich should es- tablish in its calendar. % A CREDITABLE DEGISION, With considerable surprise it was recently announced that the employes of the United States postal service were engaged in ralsing a purse which it was hoped would reach the interesting sum of $30,000 for the pur- pose of presenting it to ex-Congres: man Thomas L. Reflly of Meriden. Gratifying it must be to the people of this state that Mr, Rellly now states he has not received and would not accept such a giff, The former representative in con- gress has always been interested in the task of improving the postal ser- vice. He has worked long and hard in its behalf and was looked upon as a strong champion of thelr cause by the post office employes, since he was able during his four years in Wash- ington to obtain for them better pay and less hours. This, however, it must be remembered, was doné while he was a representative of the people, the dutles of which office called upon him to serve his country and not spe- cial interests, for which he like others in a similar capacity recelved a good salary from the government, a sum which for the four years equalled the purse which it was proposed to pre- sent. b, Eyen though he has completed his service at Washington and even though he had no such gift in mind, he can- not permit the impression to go forth that he was interesting himself in a particular matter so much that he should receive additional pay there- for. What he did was in the line of duty and must be accepted as such. He is no more justified in the ac- ceptance of such a sum from a large number whom he has aided than he would be in taking a handout from a corporation for which he had been endeavoring to obtain justice. The refusal to accept such a gift is to the credit of the former congressman. WAR'S ACCOMPANIMENT, The_devastating accompaniment of war is disease. It has always been so and despite such precautions as science has devised it has by no means been eliminated in the present strug- gle. After the great fight is over it wil] be found that the toll from disease in one form or another, among soldiers and non-combatants who suf- fer from war conditions is enormous, In view of such conditions as are reported. to be prevailing in Servia from typhus, it is not. surprising that Bnilgaria has recognized the wisdom'| of establishing a strict quarantine for the purpose of shutting out any pos- sibility of that disease being carried into its domain. The necessity of con- fining it to as small a territory as possible cannot be overlooked. It is a menace of the worst character and far exceeds the danger from the other Tavages of the war. Science and some of the best au- thoritles are at work for the purpose of checking the plague and it is even claimed that one professor in this country has suceeeded in isolating the germ of typhys, but even with this important progress and the sending of help from the United States to lena its influence in combating the situa- tion it is going to be a hard uphill struggle to overcome the hold which it has already obtained. And until it is effectively checked it stands as a danger not only to the neighboring OUGHT NOT TO BE DELAYED, The very fact that eastern Odn- necticut has water privileges of which little or no use is made, meaning S0 much cheap and valuable horsepower . going to waste every day while in- dustry is seeking cheaper motive pow- er, is sufficient reason for the utiliza. tion to 1ts best advantage of the nat- ural resources of this section of the state. When a section, or an entire state for that matter, has at its very doors such opportunities for develop- ment and growth as exist in this end of Connecticut there should be the dis- position to help along whatever ef- fort is made for the utilization there- of. The possession of such advan- tages without development has accom- plished nothing in the past, but it is countries of Servia, but of that entire section of the world. It thus becomes evident that Bulgarla by its action is giving strong support to the hard problem which the surgeons there and those going to their assistance face. EDITORIAL NOTES. Captain Thierichens has shown the makings of a first class poker player. The Prinz Eitel will be interned. The 50,000 bottles of beer will be turned in. It is time to make those ‘Arbor day arrangements which have been neg- lected year after year. It is absolutely impossible for John- ny Barleycorn to be neutral in this war if he wanted to be, time thero was an awakening and there will be if the rights to go ahead and turn what is now going to waste into potential energy is permitted. From the hearings before the legis- lative committee on incorporations at Hartford and the testimony of en- gineers who have given exhaustive study to the topography and conditions this section as to the possibill- | #es of coordinating the different de- ' veloped and undeveloped powers on | the Quinebaug river strong evidence s furnished of the desirability of granting the charter sought by the Co-operative Power company. The views of the manufacturers along the Quinebaug indicate their approval of the project. It is a matter which means much to eastern Connecticut and for its good cannot be put into operation too soon. WJust such de- velopment as this company proposes is what industrial activity is coming to depend upon and there should be no fielay in making a favorable report © upon this bill. & THE PRINZ EITEL. The internment of the Prinz Eitel Friedrich at the eleventh hour shows that the captain of the Willlam P. " Frye knew what he was talking about when he declared soon after the ar- rival of the German raider at New- port News that it would be interned. It must be looked upon as a display of good judgment upon the part of its gommander. Being watched like a cat would a mouse there wasn't a chance in & thousand that it could slide out from that port and escape destruction © at the hands of the allies’ Vessels. It ‘was cornered and it was a wise cap- tain who gave sane consideration to plight, To have gone forth would been to sail into the jaws of h for no purpose Whatever save display a bravade which would unt to nothing in the end. There no definite plan under which General Von Kluck's wound is re- ported as healing nicely. Would that ®urope was showing as much con- valescence. Pinchot must feel that his reception by the Germans was much the same as that he received from the Penn- sylvanians, ‘The man on the corner says: When it comes to a matter of keeping the chin up self respect is as helpful as 2 high collar. The arrival of two hurdy gurdles brings to mind the joyful fact that is but five weeks to the opening of the straw hat season. Jess Willard at the present time has an opportunity to boast of the fact that there is one champlon who has never been knocked out. A slight earthquake was- reported in California, but if election results | could be blamed one should have been felt through Illinois and Missourl. The story Is told of a codfish pulling a boy overboard, but there must be something the matter with the trout fishermen to let that get by unbeaten. The time is fast approaching when every vessel that goes down will be added to the toll of the German sub- marines, whether they are guilty or not, 5 ‘What Germany ought to do and what it will do relative to the Frye claim may be far apart, but it must hustle if it hopes to beat Mexico's promptness in paying indemnity. Germany blames Great Britain for the loss of lives on the Falaba. Prob- ably the fact that England ordered grain from this country was sufi- clent reason for sinking the Frye. BULLETIN'S SPECI Interest in Aeronautics May R AL YALE LETTER esult in Organization of New Club—Report of Hope Mission—Golfers Going to Ex- position—Senior Fought trations for Past 25 Years. New Haven, April 8§—The recent comtroversy as regards the unpre- paredness of the United States for war has lead to conslderable agita- tlon concerning the establishing of an geronautical reserve to supplement the maval reserve. The publication of numerous articles concerning this new project has occasioned the state- ment of the possible openings for Yale men in this new movement by Bverard Thompson of the ticket de- partment, who for the last few years has been interested in aeronautics at Yale. The plan advocated provides for a body of trained men who would be in a position to rise to an emer- gency in case the time should come When trained officers would be in de- mand. The source of this trained body of men has been settled to be in the universities and colleges of the country. It is estimated that from the one hundred thousand students now in the colleges of the United States, it would be possible, with a certain amount of military training furnished by the national government to have on hand officers sufficient to command 8,000,000 fighting men. An- other phase of the proposed plan is to establish an aeronautical depart- ment in the national defense, and to obtain recruits for this service from the colleges where courses in aero- nautics are given. This all means an opportunity for Yale men, a number of whom have already signified their willingness to interest themselves in aeronautics of this kind. Yale has at present no aeronautic club, The club which four or five years ago was formed among Yale men has dropped out of existence because its promot- ers have graduated. There are indi- cations that a new club is to be start- ed which will have very great influ- ence dh the direction of Yale men to this line of work. [ The university library, in collecting the immense amount of printed ma- terial about the present war, has ac- cumulated & mass of miscellaneous newspaper clippings and_illustrations which have been mounted in large scrap_books. The first of the series has been completed, and has been put on exhibition among the new books in the delivery room of the Hbrary where they are attracting a considerable amount of _attention. The contents of the volume are in- dexed, and include much interesting material, such as current newspapers comment on the operations in South Africa from Capetown. The list of newspaper correspondents in cludes many of the world’s most noted writ- ers. The report of the Yale Hope Mis- sion includes the statement of the success experienced in the new eat- ing system which was adopted last January. The plan is designed to furnish adequate means of handling beggars and the unemployed on the streets of - New Haven. Two meals are served at noon and evening for five and ten cents, according to which- ever price the men can afford. The chief ‘evil which used to exist was that the men sleeping at the mission would be compelled to eat at a near- by lunchroom under unpleasant cir- cumstances: but now they can get thelr meals in the same- building, which makes it more homelike, as THE WAR PRIMER By National Geographic Soclety s Austrian Tyrol is one of Europe's healthiest provinces. In the northern parts the ain drifts pure and cool, from the haunts of the glacler and pungent with fir and pine; ‘and in the south it is soft with Mediterranean sunshine and fragrant with orange and lemon. This land of a wonderfuily close-woven texture of mountains, valleze and rock needles is claiming the world’s inter- est during these days of rumors of war as a possible addition to the already Vast areas gerving as theatreg of war. "Though Tyrol is a land all deserv- ing of the artist, the sportsman, the vacationist, and the mentally or phvsi- cally afline- though it is a country where Nature has been overlavish with ‘beauty, where the timbered mountain shoulders are filled with game, where dangerous ascents may be made with- out number, where the choicest of toyrs are to be enjoyed at a far lower cost than can be accomplished amid the more thoroughly commercialized scenery of Switzerland, and where there are more than 350 registered health resorts; if, nevertheless, has been comparatively neglected, more Seyestally b Smisicans. Austrian Tyrol forms a considerable part of the forbidding and _difficult boundary that runs between Italy and Austria. It is a barrier more eftective than the Vosges barrler between Ger- many and France, or than the Car- pathian barrier between Hungary and Galicla. Austrfan Tyrol is 10305 square miles of Alpine mountains etched with a wonderful and intricate design_of valleys. While. there are. fower lakes in Tyrol than in Switzerland, and while the highest Tyrolese s¥nmit, 17,790 feet above the sea level, falls far behind the monarchs of the Swiss Alps, yet “the Austrian crownland yields nothing in charm by compari- son with its neighbor. Among the rock-strewn gullies of Tyrol Dante found the materials_ for his picture of ' the entrance to- hell The main chain of the Alps crosses this region from east to west, and around it on all sides is a wild chaos of Tock masses. Tyrol, though small, has more sorts of climate within its borders than any other part of Burope. There are parts of the crownland where the winters are those of northeast Si- beria and the summers are those of Franz Joseph Land. .There are other parts, more southern, where an An- dalusien languor is hardly freshened by recurring winter, Tyrol is primarily a pasture land. There is a little farming within the sheltéreq valleys, and some lumbering, ‘but, for the most part, the population depends for_support upon its flocks and herds. Yodelling and Alpine bells may be heard to an even greater ad- vantage in this country than in Switzerland. Moreover, there is a goat’s milk cheese prepared by the peasants of Tyrol that equals in its mellow, t beauty any product made of milk, whether from Altenburg, Limbers, Brie, Neufchatel or Roque- fort, Famous for their devotion to the Roman Catholic religion and for their fervent loyalty to the House of Aus- tria, the Tyroiese are one of the sturd- iest’ peoples on the continent. They are renowned as marksmen and as mountaineers, and the Tyroless moun- tain batteries form one of the most favorably known military organizations in the world. ' The population of the crownland numbers about 900,000, of whom more than half &re German- speaking. There is & large Italian. speaking population in the valleys of the south. at Ypres—Statistics of Regis- well as convenient. This been running since Januar: mission is the only place in the city Wwhere a man can receive this sort of ald. The finances of the mission are at present in a very encouraging con- dition, and it is expected that there will be little need for extensive Thar- ity during the remainder of the col- lege year. Plans have already been formulated for the proposed western trip of coi- lege golfers to the Panama-Pacific exposition next summer. The plan is to make up a team from the men of the leading eastern colleges to be known as the Eastern Intercollegiate golf team. This team will play against the teams of various promin- ent country clubs in the West. The team will go west June 26, amf go to the exposition where they will spend a week or two, in which time many golf tournaments have been scheduled. The team will tour through California. by automobile, stopping for matches at the different clubs on the way. Returning there has already been scheduled several meets in_ Chicago. The Eastern Intercollegiate team will play as one, and not as representa- tives of the varlous institutions. The possibility of the trip will undoubted- 1y depend upon the enthusiasm dis- played. Although Yale last year lost the intercollegiate golf championship for the first time in ten years, the prospects for the coming season are Very bright. The six men.who com- peted in the intercollegiate champion- ship last year have all returned, and compose this year’s team. Karl N. Llewellyn, 1915, who fought in the German army last fall in the battle of Ypres, returned to this country last month. Llewellyn was wounded in his first encounter, and receiveq the Kaiser’s Iron cross for especial Dbravery. He Intends to continue his college course with the present senior class. Concerning hig strange_enlistment in the German army, Llewellyn said: “As soon as the war broke out I felt that Ger- many, to which I owed a great deal of my education, and whose people and culture 1 admired, ought to have my help, particularly in as much as the odds against her were so great. So 1 went to Germany as fast as 1 could get there, to voluntger in the army. 1 was received as a volunteer in ithe Prussian Infantry at Osna- bruck. 4 took up the work there with the other volunteers with a great deal of pleasure. While there, Ambassor Gerard, on the instance of my father procured my discharge after six weeks, But as my comrades were called to the front before my protest had had any effect, I jumped on to the train and went along. With their help I succeeded in getting into France, where thé commanding ge; eral sanctioned my reenlistment.” After he was woundedLlewellyn's dis- charge was.again attempted and this time was successful. Statistics have been taken which show the comparative registrations of the various departments of the un- iversity for the last quarter century. The figures were compiled from the registration summaries which are kept In the university library. Ac- cording to the statistics, the regis- tration in the Sheffield Scientific School has been falling off slightly since 1912, when it was the largest in its history, while the number of academic students s greater this year than ever before. The total reg- istration of the university has never since been as large as it was in 1908-1909, when there were 3,434 stu dents enrolled. This year's registrs tion, according to the new catalogue which was issued recently, is 3,300. However, the registration this year is the largest since the record registra- tion in 190S. This year there are 1,426 academic students, and 1,043 tudents im the Sheffield Scientific School. The university dramatic association has decided to produce Tennyson's “Harold” as the spring play. This will_be produced June 19, and will constitute one of the events of Com- mencement Week. The_ selection of this play is significant of the distinct purpose of the association, -namely, to produce j plays of great lterary merit, and which are seldom seen on the professional stage. This is the only one of all of Tennyson’s dramas that has never been acted. The per- formance on the Yale campus will be the finst performance in the -world of this historical play. The drama was published in 1876. It deals with one of the most interesting and highly dramatic periods in the history of the world. Concerning the producing of the play Professor William L. Phelps congratulated the officers -of the as- sociation on_their choice, and in his estimation, believes that in the se- lection of this drama the association is rendering a real service to_the uni- versity, to all Tennyson readers, and to modern dramtic Hterature.

TIME IT! IN FIVE MINUTES YOUR UPSET STOMACH WILL FEEL FINE. You don’t want a slow remedy when your stomach is bad—or an uncertain one—or a harmful one—your stomach is too valuable; you must not injure it with drastic drugs.

Its promptness, certainty and ease in overcoming the worst stomach dis- orders is a revelation to those who try it —— and society because the state failed to afford the man education—Hartford Post. There are denials of the rumors that Thomas J. Reilly is to become editor of the New Haven Union, but if he is not to serve his party as the editor of the New Haven daily, which was bullt up to its present high rank among the democratic journals of the state by the efforts of the late Alex- ander Troup, it is possible that he will return into the fleld of state journaksm in some other capacity to await the call to return to public life as an elective candidate or as an ap- pointee.

The best jitney bus in the world is a pair of legs. A man can walk & mile in 15 minutes, without great ef- fort. It takes a trolley car at least 10 minutes to do the same distance, through the city, where stops are fre- quent. Allowing for delay in waiting for the car, the chances are that a trolley trip for the average mile dis- tance will not greatly cut down the time of walking. Then why not walk ‘Walking is health insurance, especially at this timé of year, when a winter of inertia has allowed the muscular system to become run down and atonic. Muscular exercise creates the need of deep breathing, and deep breathing in the open air is very ben- eficial and _refreshing.

Through the spectacular fighting she has been, engaged in at the Dardanelles, the British superdread- nought Queen Elizabeth has sudde: 1y jumped to such fame that in Lon- don music halls all the comedians call her “Queen Lizzie.” An_interesting rumor .of German espionage centers about the bulldings of the battleship at the Portsmouth navy yard last fall. The story, which lacks ~verification, of course, ‘but is credited in many quarters, is that while workmen were ashore for lunch one day, the Queen Elizabeth was seen to be listing slightly. ~ An im- mediate inspection was made and it was discovered that several cocks had been left open and the ship was rapldly filling with water. All “gates to the navy yard were closed. The men who had Jjust left the ship were all called before an in- vestigating board. (ne is reported to have broken down under the grill- ing and admitted he had made sn at- tempt to destrov the ship. Various rumors have since been in circula- tion as to the punishment meted out to the traitor, whose work would have resulted in great damage if it had not been discovered promptly. Shipbuitders Hard Pressed. Norwegian ship-builders can searce- ly keep pace with the demand for vessels. The ship owners find the war so advantageous to their trade that, in need of more vessels, they are turning to obsolete craft. ‘They are takipng old whalers and other vessels that had been marked for the grave, fitting then with gasoline en- gines and screws, and pressing them into service. The local ship yards ‘Were never so Dusy as now. In tonnage per capita, Norway's mercantile marine is the largest in the world. It bhas 527 tons for each thousand inhabitants as against 242 in Great Britain. The wrecks of Norweglan ships during the past yvear do not greatly exceed normal, although & third of them were caused by _mines and. torpedoes. When, the war ends, Norweglan ship owners expect to put out a new lot_of Altantic and Pacific freighters and compete seriously for the trade then to be had. What the Soldiers Eat On Duty. The British soldier has bacon for breakfast, bread and cheese for luncheon, a hot meal of meat, vege- tables, and bread for dinner, and bread and jam with his tea. In case of emergency he carries with him an “Iron Ration,” composed of preserved meat, biscuit, tea, sugar, and two concentrated 'meat cubes. Since the commencement of the campaign s eral additions have been made to the scale of food ordinarily allowed. Pea soup is provided twice a week for the troops in the trenches, as well as ex- tra tea and sugar. Cigarettes are served out in Heu of part of the week- ly tobacco allowance, matches are provided twice a week, and butter is substituted twice a week for In these gircumstances it not surprising that this is the first cam- paign in the history of the Army in Children Ory FOR FLETCHER'S CASTORI Babies! .

Indeed, the most serious com- plaint that has ever been made is that plum jam has been issued too frequently. ‘There may not be much pleasure in the life led by the driver of the mo- tor Jorry; but those who imagine that he leads an uneventful humdrum ex- istence or that the Army Service Is a non-combatant branch of the army should hear the experience of some of these men. They include early in the war many narrow escapes from hostile cavalry patrols, long night journeys without lights over bad roads between the hostile lines, daily drives over the open stretch of a plateau swept by howlitzer shell, and generally ex- hausting days and sleepless nights spent in taking up food and carrying back wounded. Even under present conditions the work is arduous and not always free from danger. LETTERS TO THE EDITOR Against Electrocution. Mr. Editor: Hon, T. M. Osborne, warden of Sing Sing prison has in- vited me to be state witness to the execution by electricity of Karol Draniewicz, which will occur at the prison Friday morning, April 9. I was present there when the “four gunmen” were electrocuted and post mortem findings were published in the N. Y. Medical Journal. Capital punishment in the electric chair should be abolished. The state of California had in mind to establish electric chair, but when they read my article, they gave up the “idea.” DR. S. R. KLEIN. Norwich, April 7, 1915. ROTTERDAM'S TRADE SUFFERING GREATLY. Transient Shipping Shows Enormous Falling Offi—in Peace Time It Ranks Third. The transit shipping trade of Rot- terdam is suffering to an enormous extent. In peace times this port ranks third in Europe for this kind of traffic. During January and February only 749 vessels of all kinds entered port as compared with 1705 in_the corresponding period of 1914, and their tonnage was only 804511 against 2,096,612 in January- and February last year. The loss is due not only to the cur- tailment of trafic by sea, but also to the fact that a large proportion of the usually immense _water-borne trade with the Rhine districts has been cut off by the prohibition of export of certain goods. The labor exchanges are consequently _more crowded every day with the number- less unemployed. Groups of them are to De seen also at all hours of the day around the wharfs. In addition to the suffering thus caused to seamen and shipbuilders who form a large proportion of Ro terdam's population, the ordinary building trades have been the victims both of bad weather and the wide- spread hesitation to invest money at this time. The plumber, incidentally has been an exception, the rainy weather havin~ kept him busy = all winter. Among_the clothiers the prohibi- tlon of the export of woolen stuffs from the British Isles has been a hard blow, together with the fact that court functions have been aband- oned untl] the end of the war, and that there is a general tightening of purse strings. The trade of supplying the world QUICKLY STOPS HEAD COLDS AND SNUFFLES Catarrhal Germs Cause of Most Colds —New Germicidal Air Treatment Best Remedy for These Common Afl- ments.
