" Norwich, Thursday, April 15, 1915. {The Circulation of The Builetin The Bulletin has the largest circulation of any paper in East- ern Commecticut and from three to four times larger than that of any in Norwich. It is delivered to over 3,000 of the %,053 houses in Norwich, and read by minety- three per cent. of the people. In Windham it is delivered to over 900 houses, in Putnam and Danielson to over 1,100 and in all 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. D. routes in Eastern Connectizut. CIRCULATION 1901, average ..........c. 4412 1905, average ...........5 920 April 10 ..oeevene 9’250 IN ACCORD WITH THE FACTS. The prompt manner in’ which the legislative committee on new towns and probate districts disclosed a majority against the petition for the separation of the town of Norwich wasa just move and greatly to the credit of the com- mittee. It was impossible to figure how any other decision could be made if the merits of the matter recelved consideration. The action which authorizes an un- favorable report to the general as- sembly is in full accord with the tes- timony which has been introduced at three hearings and the only surprise that can result is that it was not a unanimous vote in opposition. From the great amount of evidence which showed that it was for the interest of &l concerned that Norwich should re- main as it is, and while the presen- tation of a majority report against the petition will undoubtedly mean a vote to give the petitioners an oppor- tunity to withdraw, yet from the moun- tain of evidence raised against it the ‘committee would have been justified in ending the matter after the second hearing. Never was there a sound reason advanced for the granting of the petition and the adverse report by the committee is only what was due to the remonstrants. That the committee found it unnecessary to visit the premises indicates the convincing character of the testimony in opp tion. That the legislature will be guided by the report of the committee is to be expected. Certainly no other action could be taken and render justice to Norwich. PLAYGROUNDS, From the reports given at the an- nual meeting of the Norwich Play- grounds association there can be no question as to the popularity of this organized effort in behalf of the chil- dren of this city. Even though the attendance report showing that nearly 26,000 had enjoyed the privileges dur- ing the past season does not of neces- sity mean that every child took ad- vantage of the opportunities for.play that were furnished, it does indicate, and with much certainty, that the playgrounds are meeting a long felt want, and that while they are doing much, there “is still the chance for doing more. : Certainly they should be maintained ‘with as much attention and supervision as in the past. The season for out- door play which will again make the playgrounds busy spots is fast ap- proaching and the association should have the generous support of the com- munity in looking after the réquire- ments of the children who need a proper amount of play, but whp except for such places would be fouhd devel- oping their own playgrounds in the street with its attendant dangers, or engaged in some mischief which they had better be kept from. ‘Well regulated outdoor amusements are highly beneficial and the manner in which the playground movement has spread throughout the country shows the merits of the Institution. No city can afford to be without it and no city which has it can afford to let it deteriorate. Outdoor recre- atlon is to be encouraged and for the city children it should be in just such places of safety as the playgrounds provide, HUERTA’S VISIT. Victoriano Huerta is in New York. He was not even embarrassed by de- tention longer than to declare that he was here simply for a brief time on pleasure and not for the purpose of tomenting additional trouble in Mex- lco. He is a guest under the flag which he refused to salute agd despite the opposition of those factions which wre now fighting each other in the Mexican republic and which were at one time united in oppesition to him. Despite his declaration it is aim- sult to imagine him other than itching to get back into the Mexican turmoil and it is impossible to overlook the tact that under his guidance even that country was in a far better con- lition than it is today. That he will pave some heart to heart talis with jhose whe were closely associated with hig presidency, while here is to be expetted. No better reason for his coming to this country can be inferred but time alone will bring to light the real facts. Significant is the opposition which the present day leaders are manifest- ing to his actions. It was his over- throw of Madero and his method of ruling which developed the constitu- tionalist force that drove him out of the country. If hins return to Mexico today would bring about a reunion of the present factions and bring together those who are seeking constitutional government in that republic it might be the best thing for that country if he would go back to the land from which he fled. Slight progress towards such a get-together movement is being made today and the prospects for any improvement are not discernible. If Huerta has the power ever to frighten them into it he has a service to ren- der, JITNEY REGULATION. In the effort which is being made before the general assembly to regulate the jitneys, which have made their appearance or which may later set up business in this state, through a bill originated in committee, it appears to be a matter which ought not to be pushed through without a thorough consideration of all that is involved. It is a question whether the state legislature is in a position to take wise action regarding such a matter at this time because of the slight un- derstanding of just what it is be- ing called upon to regulate. There is nothing to prevent just such service as the jitneys furnish where there are large crowds to handle and it is a question whether they would cause any serious competition where existing transportation facilities are meeting the requirements, and it is a question whether the various communities of SHE WAS RUSHED FOR TIME It was all Henry’s faylt,” announced young Mrs, Leonard to her dearest friend. “If he had used a slight de- gree of common sense and telephoned me the moment he received his cousin’s message everything would have gone smoothly. Fancy giving me barely three hours in which to dress and ride down town!” “You didn't seem flustered about time when you phoned me,” objected the dearest friend. “And when you passed here you had an hour to-the good. To reach the loop requires only a fteen minute ride. How much time did you want?” “But I had to go to the hairdress- explained young Mrs. Leonard. “Henry's cousin, you know is_very fashionable, quite wealthy, and Henry is her favorite cousin. Therefore, when he phoned me that she was passing through the city and would like us to lunch with her at Barrington's at 1 o'clock, I, never having met her, naturaily thought of first impressions, and felt it due Henry to look my very best. So in order that I might wear my new turban becomingly I left for downtown an hour ahead of time to have my hair dressed in the tightly slicked back style.” “For pity’s 2 dearest friend. hideous style!” Ignoring the unflattering eriticiem, young Mrs. Leonard continued: “Fortunately I met with no delay riding downtown, and when I reached the building where Mme, Brown is lo- cated I had oceans of time—forty min- utes. In the elevator I entered there was only one passenger—a woman. I knew at once that she was bent on the same errand as I! How did I know? Oh, a wave thought, I sup- pose, or whatever you call it. Any- way, to be on the safe side and leave ejaculated the “Why, it's a perfectly the state want to stifie any such in- fluence for greater public accommoda- tion, reaching as it doubtless would into sections which are not now served by the electric lines, The jitney is likely to be a fad and while it must of necessity expect that there will be regulations adopted for its control and the protection of the people, it is belleved that such action can best be taken by the cities in which they are located. Every city is bound to have its local problems in that regard as well as any other and it is only reasonable to leave the hand- ling of this question to home rule, the same as traffic regulations. CAN'T BE TOO MANY TREES. There is no one day at this time of the year that is better than an- other for the planting of trees and shrubs. It does not mean that trees planted on Arbor day will positively thrive, or that they will grow any better than as if set out the day be- fore or the day after, but there is need of a concerted endeavor in every state for giving special consideration to na- ture and for the encouragement of beautification of home grounds and streets. The setting aside of a par- ticular day calls forth greater atten- tion and a better response than as i it was left to the individual to re- spond when he pleased to such an im- portant matter. It is also a day with its educational value. It doesn't require a view of many streets where therée has been a slaugh- ter of trees for one cause or another to appreciate the loss which such ave- nues have experienced, and it doesn’t need to be pointed out more than a dozen times that the tree-lined and shaded highway is a thing of beauty which inspires every user, be he a res- ident ©or a visitor. The contrast be- tween the sun-baked and the regular- & shaded highway is sufficient to bring about a greatér response to the appeal which is made every year by the governors of states for a proper observance of Arbor day. No city has so many trees that it should not establish the practice of replacing each and every one that is removed so that while various reasons might require the cutting down of jhundreds each year, Arbor day ' or this season of the year should witness the planting of a like or greater num- ber at some point, if not that where the removals took place. There is no danger of there being too many trees. Too many are the streets which haven't enough, EDITORIAL NOTES.

N\ the elevator ahead of her, I walked toward the front. So did she. But, as it was absolutely essential for me to have -the madam’s services first, in getting out of the elevator I hastily brushed ahead of the stranger. Rude, dald you say? Goodness! When my case was 8o desperate? Well, she overtook me, and, shoulder to shoulder, we raced along the corridor. However, at our goal I squeezed in the door ahead of her and stood in the recep- tfon room first. “Priumphantly feeling that it would be a case of first come first served, my glance flew around for the attendant. Alas, she was not in the room! We waited flve minutes. It was 12.25. An- other five minutes. We both fidgeted. I glared—at the woman. Then I push- ed a button viciously. The door of the private room opened, revealing the at- tendant. “She purred sweetly: ment, please!” “I exclaimed sharply: for time. If you will— “‘Just a moment, p-1-e-a-s-e!’ “The door of the private room closed. “When I turned around my cheeks reddened angrily I found that woman hastily concealing a horrid smile, “That settled it. Even if I had had all day at my disposal I would be first! I detest insinuating smiles! With a scathing glance at her I glued myself to the door of that private room. At last it opened. I began volubly, “Will you tell Mme. Brown that Mrs——' “‘] beg your pardon,’ a suave voice interrupted. A card ‘was_ thrust past me. ‘Kindly give that to Mme. Brown. My avpointment was for 12.30.’ “What @14 T do? Nothing but glare!

Bu there was no neutral Holland or neu- tral Switzerland and Denmark across the great international trade routes of the Muscovite. Germany’s ports are closed, as are Russia’s, but it is still doing some selling to the outside world, because Danish, Dutch, and Swiss cen- ters find it profitable to handle its goods.” Germany, Austria-Hungary, and the Ottoman Empire shut Russian goods completely- out of Burofe. Germany controlg the Baltic Sea and Turkey Tocks the Black Sea at the Bosphorus. The thousands of tons of golden but- ter that formerly poured into Germany, Frdnce and Great Britain from Minland and from the wonderful butter prov- inces of Siberia, have ceased to flow. Thousands of tons_of Russian beet sugar that sold inté Persta and Turkey, reports announce, must be this year absorbed by the Russian markets on account of the war hazards of the Black Sea. Likewise, the Persian and Levantine markets for Russian cloth have ceased. < = Hundreds of shiploads of Russian wheat, which formerly left Odessa for all the of Burope, have now no outlet. Russian furs, of which enor- mous quantities were annually placed upon the world's greatest fur markets, London and Leipsie, reach the outside world now only in small lots through Siberfa. The great pétroleum stores of Baku cannot be shipped for sale to Russia’s allies. And her other agri- cultural, mineral and forest products are war-bound, There remains open for the foreign trade of Russia practically only Viadi- vostock, and the freight charges to and from this far port severely limit the amount of trans-Siberian business that can be profitably done. Some trade may flow through Roumania. How-' ever, none of Russla’s great trade routes run this way, and facilities for the carrying out of a large import and export business here are lacking. With w in the war, this way will be seale / Nevertheless, a port toward Europe will open for the ussians some weeks hence, and its opening may bear im- portant resuits for the struggling Rus- sians. This port is Archangel, a great r for ore and fishing vessels through -its scant summer, whence in- humerable smaller its carry thelr cargoes around Ne Cape, down the Norwegian coasts, t6 Buropean mar- kets. It is le that with the opening of this port, Much of Russia’s butter, poultry, grains, sugdr and other agricuitural products will be released the friendly parts of Europe, and much-needed manufactures will flow in this way. I made a wild rush for Barrington's main entrance, where I was to meet them, 8o nervous and rattled and out of breath that I prayed I might not see them until a shred of composure should return. “‘Well, here you are at last!’ Henry's voice arrested me; his hands wheeied me about. For a moment he looked at me bewllderedly.” “I should think he would!” exclaimed the dearest friend. “Then he said,” continued young Mrs, Leonard, “‘Mab, this is Cousin Janet! Cousin Janet, meet the little wife! I'm sure—' “He stopped abruptly. The ‘little wife,’ fossilized, was staring in horri- fled fashion at ‘Cousin Janet’ Cousin Janet stared back a moment, then broke into a hearty peal of laughter. “Why, certainly it was that woman! And certainly she was perfectly fine, and thought it a joke and invited me to her lovely country home! But that isn’t it—gracious me! Do you think she’ll ever forget how I glared at her and pushed by her and——" “It was unfortunate that she should see you—er—slightly excited,” com- forted the dearest friend. “Still, in her sympathy for Henry, perhaps she'll—" “Henry! Sympathy for Henry! Why——wasn't he to blame?

A Dbill now before the legislature if passed will outlaw the toy pistol and the air rifie for lads less than sixteen years of age.

Manufacturers, business men and farmers joined with the representa- tives of the rallroads at a joint hear- ing at Trenton on the bill to repeal the New Jersey full crew law. The only persons appearing on the other side were the representatives of organized labor.

The United States courts may soon be called_upon to decide whether the Willlard-Johnson affair at Havana on Easter Monday waé a prize fight or merely a harmless boxing exhibition. If the latter view is taken by the court, the “fight pictures” may soon be on exhibition in the movie houses. All good citizens, of course, are agreed that contests of the kind ought to be frowned upon. A great many of them, though, would like to have the chance to -see those pictures. — Bridgeport Standard. In Connecticut, opr state trunk line highways are broken up by frightful roads at their entrance into three- quarters of the towns of the state, and their value as arteries of travel is consequently depreciated. A munici- Pality which operated under a similar rule concerning _sidewalks would quickly find itself in the same condi- tion. But municipalities, fortunately, have a better rule than this, and the consequence is, that sidewalks are generally good even where roads are awful.—Bridgeport Telegram. ‘An appeal has been made by the Organized Charities to the New Ha- ven public asking them to lay in at this time a supply of fireplace and kindling wood for next winter.

As one goes along West Main street for instance he will find a collection of broken flags, twisted at all angles, some at one elevation and some at another. Sometimes there is a wide space between the curb and the walk 't larel sometimes the flags are large and evenly spaced. At other spots where some progressive citizen has erected a new block or remodeled an old one there will be a concrete or granolithic walk that is a relief after the old flags. Colony street is in just as bad shape. Why cannot we have a side- walk law that will fix a certain type and size of walk for these two streets Why -cannot that law be made so ar- bitrary that it will bé necessary for all property owners to live up to them?

It will on that account always be inter- ested in the development of telephony, with or without wires. It has now and then shown signs of restlessness because of conditions imposed on it by the company which enjoys @ monopoly within the borders. Just as the de- velopment of automobiles has been constantly threatening the monopoly of railways on rapid transit business, 80 the development. of wireless tele- phony and wireless telegraphy will mark the beginning of the end of con- ditions by virtue of which telephone and telegraph companies are able to fix their own terms for service. When the wireless is as far along as the horseless 1s today the competition will force changes in telephone and tele- graph business from which the public will reap advantages.—Weaterbury Re- publican, " “NEW BOOKs The General Education Board—An ac- count of Its Activities, 1902-1914, Cloth, 240 pages, with $2 full page {llustrations and 31 maps.

That ther¢ are handsome rewards for those who are able to devise im- provements in guns and machinery is evident from the fact that £7270 has been pald in fees to inventors at army ordnance factories for the year ending March, 1914. No less than £4000, for instance, was paid to Colonel H. C. L. Holden, late superintendent of the royal gun and carriage factories, for various inventions and improvements connected with ordnance mountings, machine tools, etc, in addition to £500 pald on another account; while £2850 was paid to Mr. W.

A well-known scientist recently suggested that the mysterious explo- sion which destroyed the British bat- tleship, the Bulwark, might have been due to the influence of wireless waves. The theory that wireless causes ex- plosions was put forward some time ago by a French engineer. To prove his point, he called attention to the fact that the disaster ta the British steamer, the Volturno, which was burnt in the Atlantic, took place just on the junction point where the wire- less waves from the Eiffel Tower and Glace Bay meet. The mysterious nine explosion at Senghenydd also occurred on_the Clifden-Paris wireless line. The French engineer also points out that in his opinion wireless has a strange effect on the mind, and he result of a neglected cold?

Many of these mishaps have taken place at the junction of wireless wave routes, and it is sald that the wireless so af- fected the brains of ships’ command- ers that in critical moments they lost control of their vessels.
