Following the sinking of the Wil- liam P, Frye, upon the circumstances being called to the attention of the German government it was admitted that wrong had been committed which that country was responsible for and which loss would be paid for. In that instance the livas of the crew were spared, they being warned of the de- termination to destroy the American vessel and its cargo and were given time to get away in safety. In the past week an American tank- er, with its name in large letters and flying the stars and stripes, was the object of an unwarned and unwarrant- ed attack by a German aeropiane. Fol- lowing close upon it comes the tor- pedoing of an American vessel, the Gulflight, on which the captaln and two members of the crew lost their lives, the first American lives which have been taken in a direct attack upon American shipping. Naturally it has created mo little excitement in Washington, since it is to all appearances a direct and flagrant disregard of the protest which has been made by this country against the ab- surd naval policy which Germany has declared. Under international law had Germany caught an American vessel carrying contraband to its enemy it had the right to seize it, but there is nothing which .warrants the destruc- tion of the vessel without regara for the officers and crew. That this gov- ernment will obtain a full account of the affair is to be expected. It is the only course upon which to base whatever action is taken in holding Germany to “a strict accountability.” 09000000047300000000900 000872000 0040000060400 NOT LIKELY TO CHANGE. Attention for the time being is di- rected to the suit which has been brought in the state of Wisconsin by General Pearson of the Boer war for the purpose of stopping the manufac- ture of munitions of war for foreign sale. In this particular instance, as in others which have been made since the war was opened, the action is aim- ed at American business because as conditions exist the allies are the only ones which can secure the delivery of the goods, regardless of the fact that this country stands ready, and always has. to sell to any and all of the par- ticipants in the war. Did not the al- lies possezs an advantage, which by the way they brought about by their own activity and with no help from this country, nothing would have been said about the position which this country has taken and which it is oing to maintain. It is absurd to be- lieve that this country is going to depart from its position of neutrality beca one side in the war is taking advantage of outside markets. General Pearson claims that his in- terests in Germany are being injured and the war prolonged by the existing conditions. It is the same question that was determined by the adminis- tration before congress, which has the power to make the change, adjourned and there is not the least reason to believe that it is going to be changed at this late dat The right to man- ufacture munitio: for belligerents is only what every country possesses and what Germany and other nations have used during wars in which they were not involved and it will be with great surprise if it is checked. PREVENTION IMPORTANT. That too much importance cannot be attached to the movement for the changing of the quarantine station at the port of New York from state to federal control is emphasized by the arrival there of a Greek steamer on which one member of the crew was suffering from the dread typhus fever. This is the first instance of this dis- ease reaching these shores from the vicinity of stricken Servia and steps were immediately taken to see that the patient were properly guarded to pre- vent any spread thereof, but it only emphasizes the constant vigilance which must be exercised concerning all contagious diseases and plagues. There is nothing whatever to com- plain of concerning the action of the New York authorities in this particu- lar case. They probably did as much as any federal officer could or would have done under such circumstances, but the best service is wanted at all times at that point and when those who are directly in touch with the deelare that m government ocontrel of such work it presents a matter for serlous consid= eration, Preventlon is highly important. This country is not suffering from typhus fever and it does not want to, or any of the other plagues. If that is best assured foderal control by all ‘means let us have it. It has beon dem- onstrated that typhis fover patlents can be expected and the strongest op- position that can be manifested for the sake of health conditions is none too good, TREELESS CITIES. Over in the city of Waterbury, for the purpose of getting in closer touch ‘with conditions about the city, Mayor Scully has been making a tour of the various sections in company with the ‘board of public works. It was a prof- itable inspection for the revelations which it brought to the city fathers both as to work which has been done and ‘that which needs to be under- taken. One thing in particular was dis- closed and that was the lack of trees in certain sections, which made such an impression upon him that he was not backward in declaring that if this tter was not given more attention ‘Waterbury, which like every city should take pride in its trees, would be a shadeless and sunstruck city. It certainly is not a pleasant thing to look forward to, There are many cities ‘which are showing a lack of attention in this same direction. Trees are removed for any one of many reasons and not any are set out in their place. In some sec- tions nothing whatever is done to se- cure shade and better appearing streets and grounds simpl through the lack of initiative and a proper amount of civic pride. No city which has ever enjoyed the benefits of trees should ever permit the policy of neg- ligence to gain the upper hand. The idea of replacing every tree removed with another, or of setting out a cer- tain number of trees each year in the sections where they are most needed and giving them sufficlent attention to get them started, has been found of immense value in many cities where it is being carried out and it would be an admirable plan for every com- munity to adopt. No city can afford to overlook its trees. COASTWISE SHIRPING. The change which has been made in the vessels engaged in the coastwise traffic of this country in the past decade or two has been great. There has been a gradual disappearance of the “stickers” in favor of the steam- ships until it has resulted in small business for the shipyards which turn out the schooners and a speeding up of those which handle orders for the steam driven craft. The reason lies in the fact that the latter possess far greater advantages. They have speed in transportation regardless of the ‘weather, speed in facilities for loading and unloading which outweigh the cheapness of wind power and their capacity for handling all kinds of car- goes is far superior. Perhaps nothing points to the growth of the steamships more than the man- ner in which they are being drawn upon at the present time for transat- lantic service. The tonnage of steam- ships engaged in the coastwise trade has more than doubled in the past 14 vears and with the continued protec- tion given to American vessels so en- gaged it can be expected to steadily increase. Their size and equipment makes them available for almost any kind of deep water service. This does not mean that the sailing vessel has disappeared, for it has mnot. It is still doing much business, but the number is decreasing, fully a quarter of them having disappeared in the past 14 years. Few are the instances where the loss of a schooner results in the construction of another. Invariably such a situation results in it being replaced by a steamer as a matter of economy, and in the same way is the expansion of business being met. EDITORIAL NOTES. Villa is reported as ready to fight. Same old Villa. Fragile as it is, China had the cour- age to say no to Japan. May appears to be furnishing the showers which April neglected. Possibly Huerta realizes that he can best protect his health by remaining away from Mexico. Something to worry about: A Chi- cago professor declares that the solar system 1is all wrong, ‘With more than half the city swept by fire, Colon must henceforth be re- garded as semi-Colon. ‘The idea of a peace secretary in the cabinet ought to find an ardent cham- pion in Willlam Jennings Bryan. It doesn’t appear that the president’s grandson acted any different at the christening than most children. Connecticut could make excellent use of such a man as Elihu Root in keeping down its mneedless expendi- tures. The man on the corner says: When you stop to think about it some of the best fish stories are dated several years ago. ‘The report that the German fleet is at sea only indicates that the same state of affairs is being maintained in the German navy.

Where there are no walks constant complaint over the walking conditions, but where there are fine walks there is a general Inclination to wear down the greensward. there is Secretary Daniels ought not to over- look the fact that Congressman Gard- ner might be able to point out some defects if given a chance to partici- pate in the coming naval review. Ex-Senator Burton finds the South American countries in sympathy with the move for closer relations with the United States. With everybody inter- ested the accomplishment ought to be easy, This is the time of the year when Lord Kitchener said the war would open in earnest, but there will have to be a Dardanelles bombardment about every ten minutes to make the interest any greater.

Oh, I'm o happy! for ful for, hlv.nt 1?" “Yes, in " answered Randall, as firmly as he could Wwhile he glanced Ddtyl.ng at the little helpiess body and unseeing eyes of his old friend. “I was knitting to-day. for one thing, because I was beginning to be afraid you weren't coming. 1 hardly like to tell you how I look forward each week to your coming, for fear that some time you might give up something much gayer and more ime portant than a visit to me because you don’t want to disappoint me. You ustn’t ever do that You see, you can tell me all about it the next weok. and it will be the same as if I been with you, almost. Do you know that some of the new patients here really think you and I are related be- cause you come so regularly?” “Let them think so, let them think so. We are related by friendship, and that's a_mighty. strong tie some- times, Miss Mary. “Until you came that Christmas day &0 long ago I never had a reguler vis itor of my own. Of course 1 couldn't expect one really, when I haven't any family at all, and the old friends are busy or scattered, or they forget. You know how it is” “Yes, Mary, I know.” “But I'm awfully glad you came to- day, Mr. Randall, for 1 want you to tell ' me all about the poor people out there in_Europe when the war has passed. 1 feel so dreadfully sorry for them. There was a lady here yester- day reading the papers to some of us, and last night I could hardly eleep when I thought of those poor mothers and children who have lost their homes and everything. I've been thinking more than ever to-day how thankful I ought to be that I'm in this nice warm home, with plenty to eat and kind people to care for me. I think I never appreciated my blessings so much as I do now, and I want to do_something to help those poor sufferers across the sea. “The lady read from the paper that $5 would keep one woman from starv- ing a month. Oh, how I wish I could send $5 for just one month, even. Maybe after that somebody else would help the woman who got my money, or maybe the war will be over. The lady said I could help by sending some of my knitting, but I can’t make anything but wristlets, and while the newsboys and other children like them all right, I don't believe they would help a starving Belglan woman much, u a perhaps not. But won't you let me see the wristlets, Miss Mary?” She drew out her work and handed him_the one that was finished. “Well, I declare, if that isn't just like the ones my aunt used to knit for me when I was a youngster. 1 was wishing just the other day when I walked to my office that dear old Aunt Nan were here to knit me a pair. Will you finih these for me?” “Why, do you really want some ” Of course 1 do, and as soon as Pos: sible, while we still have chilly days. “Im glad T've got some all done. The matron hasn’t found eny people to give the last batch to yet” she laughed a little. “You see, I have supplied most of the surrounding country.’ “But you've neglected me, end I must have a pair at once if yowll be so good as to make me such a handsome present.” “You know how happy, it makes me to have something to give you, Mr. Randall”’ “Of course I know! It makes us all happy to give when we can, but these are especially pat for me just now, when I'm walking to my work every day. Let's see, how many pairs have you on hand? May I see them and take my choice? I'm a fussy old bachelor, you know. An_aftendant was called and the wristlets were brought. ‘There were six_pairs of various colors, made of odds and ends of yarn contributed by the women of a church guild, and Randall chose a pair of a -violent shade of green. “Which ones did you take?” “These very nice soft ones.” He Stories of the War Sinking of the Gambetta. From information gathered from various survivors of the Leon Gam- betta it is possible to construct the story of the disaster as follows: “Ths Leon Gambetta parted com- pany with the French cruiser Jules Ferry last night to cross the Strait of Otranto with a view to co-operat- ing with other French ships in an at- tempt to block the Austrian fleet to leave the Adriatic. This was not an unusual manoeuvre, as the Leon Gam- hetta for months had been going up and down the coast from Cape Santa Maria Leuca to Brindisi, Bari or across to Corfu and Vallona. “The cea was perfectly calm and the moon shone brightly. Although the Teon Gambetta showed no lights and adopted. the other customary precau- tions, there was no suspicion of dan- ger. At midnight the warship was about 20 miles from Cape Santa Maria Leuca. The lookout could see dis- tinctly the lights on the Italian coast. At sea nothing appeared on the hori- zon. “Suddenly there was a fearful ex- plosion. which shook the cruiser fore and aft. Officers and men remained calm, and the survivors say their first thought was not for their own safety, but rather to detect and attack their assailant. They scanned the sea for a periscope, but in vain. “As the cruiser was listing rapidly the ccmmander gave orders that sig- nals for help be sent and that the boats be lowered. It proved to be most difficult to lower the boats, owing to the position of the ship in the wa- ter. Some of the men leaped over- board in the bare hope of saving them- selves. Others were washed off the decks. The commander, although urged to abandon his ship, refused to do so.” Two Italian torpedo boat destroyers which went to the aid of the Gambetta have arrived here bringing 26 addi- tional survivors of the disaster, who were found unconscious on a raft made from boards picked up from the wreckage. They had been in the wa- ter for 20 hours. One of the survivors was clasping in his arms an almost dying comrade. When the eaflor was regaining consciousness he inisted that the man he had rescued be takern care of before he himself was given treatment. A French non-commissioned officer saved by one of the destroyers kissed the Itallan flag and expressed his gratitude to the Italians for the help they bad given his fellow_seamen. called £ last ‘week, nnd om:h one hn peld u for a pair, and now I have $5. man that when he saw yours hl folt have some at once, for they were m:. hl d him wh thankful thn you hl.ppdned to lhow him yours! suppose he told other people, for there been quite & de- mand for wristlets. Iln't it wonder- ful that T can help Belglum? I never thought could make anything to sell, and if it hadn't been that you liked my wristlets. I don't suppose my one would ever have thought of buy- ing them. It seems to me this is the happiest day I have ever had since 1 came to the home. You don't know how glad I am to think I am able to help some poor woman.” “Yes, Miss Mary, I think I do know,” answered Randall, & bit huskily.—Chicago News. Five umn: pooph elther wrote or pair wristlots THE WAR PRIMER By Natlonal Geographic Society Serajevo, always one of the most fruitful breeding places in Europe of conspiracies and revolts, first against the Turks and then against the Aus- trians, and which, as the tiny, un- known Bosnian town where the spark ignited that flamed forth into the greatest war of the ages, will hence- forth be known to every school child of every land, is the subject of to- days National Geographic Society war- zone sketch. Serajevo, the scene of the aseassination ~of the Archduke Francis Ferdinand, heir-apparent to the thrones of Austrie and Hungary, and his wife, the Duchess of Hohen- berg, which event provided the oc- casion for the division of all the na- tions of Europe against one another,ds described as_follows: “One of the beauty spots of the Balkans is that occupied by the Bos- nian capital, Serajevo. It is built up- on the River Miljacka, a small tribu- tary of the Bosna, and spreads over both slopes of the narrow valley to the rugged hills. Partly oriental, and wholly set in the green and emerald of its gardens and neighboring well- wooded hills, Serajevo is frequently called, ‘The Damascus of the North. The city lies in the southeastern cor- ner of Bosnia, 122 miles southwest of Belgrade. With a_growing popula- tion of 50,000 and a thriving commerce and industry, Serajevo has been fast losing its Eastern character, recon structing the old Turkish city to con- form to the purposes of Western pro- gress. “Serajevo is an important commer- cial entreport, a distributing center for Bosni Herzegovina, Dalmatia and Montenegro. 1Its large bazar is a favorite market place for the peasants of the whole province, while its com- mission houses conduct the exchange of Bosnian agricultural and mineral Products with the manufactories of other parts of the empire. It has pot teries, silk mills, a tobacco factory, and a large individual, or house indus- try, which produces fine embroiders, rugs, embossed and filigree-work. ‘Serajevo was founded in 1262 by the Hungarian General Cotroman, and was enlarged by the Turks and se- lected for their administrative Bos- nian headquarters. Following the Austrian occupation of 1878, it was largely rebuilt and has been steadily increasing in prosperity. Its inhab- itants are mostly Serbo-Croats, who hate the Austrians, yet many of whom declare that their new-found prosper- ity is entirely owing to the new regime. Serajevo has been a contin- ual seat of antil-Austrian agitation and propaganda for generations, which culminated in the assassination of last summer.” Fiume—As the price of peace, Italy is reported to be expecting from Aus- tria-Hungary the surrender of the Dual Monarchy’s entire seacoast. These expectations are said to amount to demands as regarding Trent, Triest, Istria and Fiume. In connection with showing the true significance of such demands, how great is the payment demanded by Italy for her continued neutrality, the National Geographic Society, folowing its description of Triest, jssued today a statement deal- ing with Fiume, the sole seaport of the Kingdom of Hungary. The state- ment reads: ‘Austria-Hungary carries on its bus- iness with the outside world through its great ports, Triest and Fiume. The future of its over-seas commerce is largely bound up with the develop- ment of these cities; for Triest and Fiume are the New York and Boston of Austria-Hungary, or, better, they are the Dual Monarchy’'s Hamburg and Bremen. Fiume is the only out- let of the Hungarian kingdom to free water, and the Hungarians have spent millions of dollars in their endeavor to make it a mode] port. The great Austrian port and the Hugarian port are keen rivals, and, during the last few years, Fiume has grown some- what at the cost of its northern neigh- bor, “Owing to the deep interest which the Hungerians take in their coast city, the busines of Fiume has grown rapidly. There are several harbors; one for coasting vessels, one for tim- ber, and a general harbor, begun in 1872, and capadle of accommodating about 200 large vessels. It is pro- tected by a breakwater more than half 2 mile In length, and is flanked by a great, modern quay more than two miles long. The wharves and eleva- tors are equipped in the most up-to- date fashion for the handling of a huge inflow and outflow of trade. The water-front, as the rest of the city, is lighted by electricity. “In 1910, Fiume was entered by 17,880 vessels of 3,031,381 tons. In approximate figures, its business to- taled $55,000,000, divided into an ex- port busines of $35,000,000 and an im- port trade of $20,000,00. Its trade is thus about one-half that of the port of SanFrancisco. Its exports consist chiefly of the agricultural products of Hungary, grain, flour, sugar, _timber, horses, and some manufactured wares. The principal imports are coal, wine, rice, various minerals, fruit, jute, chemicals, oils and tobacco. There are several industrial establishments In the city, among them Whitehead's torpedo factory, a large paper-mill, a royal tobacco factory, flour mills, tanneries and rope factories. The fisheries of the city are important, Quarnero Gulf being filled with food fishes. “Filume is picturesquely situated at the head of the Gulf of Quarnero, at the southern base of the Istrian tri- angle, 40 miles southeast of Triest, or about 70 miles away by the railroad through the mountainous coastland.

The Itallans constitute the larg- est part of the populace, and together with the Slavonians, comprise about 90 per cent. Geographicaily, Fiume belongs to Croatia. In 1870, however, it finally became a part of the Hun- garian kingdom. The Italians, who favor the Hungarians as opposed to the Slavonians, are practically in con- trol of the city’s edminstration. “Fiume occuples seven square miles of land carved out of Crotia. Around its waterfront, there is a narrow, level plain upon which the new town Is built, with its convenient, modern ground-plan, fine business structures and generally substantial architec- ture. The old town climbs the hills back from the shore, straggling in a quaint disorder of {rregular, narrow streets and haphazard houses. Views of the city and its surroundings from the deck of an approaching steamer are delightful, and there are a num- ber of pleasant tours to be made in the neighborhood.

Mr. Editor: Just a little ahout af- fairs and our new park, the Scowhe- gan. 1 don’t think it is right to keep the childrenoff the grass, if we are going to make it pleasany for the little ones it seems to me they should not be restricted in its use, and I would suggest that the park commis- sioners, public works, finagce com- mittee, street department or city barn, whoever has the new park in charge should take the money we have saved on the salary of Councilman Fowler since he resigned as assistant street department clerk and devote the same to purchasing settees for the use of the children to rest after their efforts in_keeping off the grass. I am very glad the spring cleaning was completed befcre our distinguish- ed visitor from Norwich, England, was taken through in the mayor’s automo- bile. There is one nice thing, it shows next to the separation of the town, one of the principal improve- ments promulgated by democratic ad- ministration the past year, and I pre- sume if we only keep them in power it might be possible to do something with Thames street, a beaut/ul con- dition the New London papers tell us so much about now that all the improvements in the park line have been completed. At the beginning of the present democratic administration a year ago there was quite a lot said about peo- ple putting their sidewalks in good shape, not only for the comfort of pedestrians but for the pride all of us should show in making our city more beautiful. As an example of the thrift and energy expended on the part of our advisers, the people and taxpayers are invited to take a walk ovér the municipal sidewalk on Laurel Hill avenue, after a shower, without rub- ber boots and see for themselves a beautiful example of municipal con- sistency. But never mind, when we get our cooperative building and loan association going and every one owns his own house and if we can have two ars of prosperity and low cost of liv under democratic rule and free tralie everybody will be happy and won't care whether the jitneys run to Schowegan or Mohegan parks as every one will own a Jitney of his own.

In view of the fact that the cost of con- crete ranks among the very lowest of road building materials, it is difficult to see why cities should go in for ex- pensive and unsatisfactory substi- tutes.—Bridgeport Telegram. King George, Lord Kitchener and other British notables have issued orders that alcoholic liquors are not to be served during the war. The value of such example is not to be despised and in view of the appeals and threats which have been made by the government in an effort to bet- ter the conditions, this unwillingness on the part of a portion of the clergy to aid, has a wet blanket effect on a project which ought to receive the hearty co-operation of all having the welfare of the country at heart.— Meriden Record. ‘When you begin to transplant the peppers and the artichokes, then you get exercise for the limbs.

It has often been claimed that the youngsters of this day and genera- tion are lacking in respect for law and ogrder. Here's proof of it. _Some school children in Hartford on Friday invited a smpernumerary policeman to climb a tree “to kill a snake.” The snake was there all right and the po- liceman, seeing his chance to make good with the children as a hero, ac- cepted their urgent invitation. He shinned up the tree, worked his way out on a bending limb, and gave the snake a mighty swipe with his club. The snake was dead when it reached the ground and had been in that con- dition for some time. It was not only a dead snake but e stuffed snake.— Waterbury American. It is a novel method of assisting young women to work their way through college that has been de- veloped in connection with the Mon- tana State Agricultural College, a method which not only helps the students, but is a convenience to the people of the community as well. The women’s clubs of the college and the town have co-operated to form an em- ployment bureau, which offers the services of college girls, in all branch- es of housewcrk, for families in the vicinity. So successful has the ven- ture been that it is planned to send circular letters to every high school in the State, to aid other girls in ob- taining a college education in this way.—Bridgeport Standard. Supporters of the campaign against the white plague in this state were willing to do their part in the cam- paign for economy, although it com- pelled them to abandon for the pres- ent many cherished plans for the ex- tension of their work, which is so necessary from the viewpoint of fm- proved health for the community. But they had reason for complaint when it appeared that the economy plans of the legislators were intended to apply only in spots. This was shown when the statesmen blithely put through an appropriation for the revision of the statutes, which will cost the state $42,000 & vyear for a couple of years and as much more as an elastic ex- pense account can be made to cover. —Ansonia Sentinel. Every sanatorium in the state now has a waiting list. It was in the line of their seasonable duty, therefore, that the commissioners caused to ba presented to the general assembly a bill giving them authority to discharge such persons when they judged they had ceased to be a special menace to the community, and would progress as well outside the sanatorium as in. ‘Wednesday, on unfavordble recom- mendations, of the committee on hu- mane institutions, whose chairman some time ago appeared to adopt an attitude toward the commission which seems not to have done credit to hls judgemnt, repected this bill. The commission has discharged its duty in this matter. It is not at fault, nor should it further worry, if those who need the benefits of the sanatoria are crowded out by such persons as are above described, But the people of the state should know the facts, If they do, they may be inclined to question the judgment of the com- mittee which frustrated this very rea- sonable effort to remedy an abuse.— New Haven Register.
