It is, therefore, with much satisfac- tion that the legislature has decided to authorize this plan. Many of the cases of insanity committed to the state hos- pitals are those which should go to a state farm for incbriates and to have available state property turned to good use and bring out, without any_ great outlay, just what merits there are in such treatment as a farm for inebri- ates provides is only what might be expected from those who are charged with looking after the interests of the state. No better man to have charge of suchea farm could be found than Dr. Pollock of the Norwich state hospital, upon whom will devolve this addi- tional responsibility, and no better or more favorable opportunity for mak- ing a start in this direction could be asked. It will permit of the fullest tests at the minimum of expense. It is a businesslike handling of a most important matter. It is time that Con- necticut decided this matter for itself and, {nasmuch as some are still in- clined to expect failure, it is prefer- able that it should be started with- out taking chances with a large ap- propriation of state funds. TRANSYLVANIA'S PASSAGE. Even though there were fears man- ifested for the safety of the Transyl- vania, a British ship carrying Amer- ican passengers, in view of the attack upon the Lusitania, the arrival of the ship unharmed in a Scottish port does not necessarily mean that there has been any abandonment of the German submarine policy that ‘was in operation when a ship belonging to the same company was sunk. It is, of course, a cause for rejoicing that no attempt was made to torpedo it, but it did not follow the usual line of travel and there is no telling what might have happened to it if it had held to the beaten path and act- ually gone to its original destination, Liverpool. To have treated the Transylvania the same as the Lusitania would have been a most unfortunate affair at this particular timé while the prevjous case hangs in the balance, and” yet ile it may have been anticipated by Germany that a new course would be taken it cannot be interpreted at this time as any modification of Germany’'s practice. A submarine “fleet of considerable size would be required to keep a vigi- lant eye out for all the British ports and watch all the British shipping. Rather is this case to be looked upon as one of the many vessels which got by, the same as many others have and as many others will, whatever the policy. Tt would be a most happy fact if it could be viewed as the abandon- ment of the violation of international law, but better assurance as to that will come when a British\ship has been stopped, visited and the passen- gers and crew given the proper op- portunity to leave before disposition is made of the vessel, FIGHTING LAWLESS GANGS, It was expected that a telling blow would be dealt against the New York gangsters as the result of the Rosen- thal case, the conviction and execu- tion of the murderers, but whatever sffect, it was only temporary, and has by no means resulted in the elimina- tion of that “#fe of criminals In the for the courts, but it is more import- ant to New York that its gangsters should be disposed of accozding to law than that the judges sholild make it necessary to delay action by taking long vacations. There is more excuse in the case of civil matters, but when such a stack of criminal business looms up there should/be a $peedy disposi- tion of it, It is 2 commendable move which any muni\ipality through its author- ities makes for the wiping out of such a condition and it should have what- ever cooperation is considered neces- sary to aid in the program. New York has striven before to get rid of this dangerous eclass of criminals and if two courts will provide the needed assistance there should be no hesi- tancy in furnishifk them. The inter- ests of the community demand it. STOP UNLAWFUL MEASURES. The idea seems to prevail in certain quarters that this country is calling upon Germany to actually call off its submarines from any further opera- tions as commerce destroyers. Noth- ing could be further from the fact. It is fully recognized by this country that Germany has a right to use its sub- marines or any other of its war ves- sels for such a purpose. There is noth- ing in the rules of war which 1is against it. What it is endeavoring to do is to have Germany abide by the interna- tional requirements that the submas rines be held to operations which do not violate international law, and in that it is not taking a surprising stand. The submarines have not only beenr acting as commerce destroyers, but they have been violating all rights of neutral shipping, of merchant ves- sels engaged in non-contraband trade and of non-combatant and neutral passengers and crews. It has simply cast to the winds every consideration which those who travel the high seas have a right to expect in its desperate endeavor to overcome the handicap in naval power, = Because it can- not, on account of the disad- vantage at which it has been placed by the British and allied navies, use its underwater craft as effectively as it conld another type of vessel were it available, it is not justified in re- sorting to inhumane and unlawful measures, or in the abandonment of the rules of naval warfare governing such situations. This country is not seeking in any way to direct Germany’s submarine operations only Insofar s they exceed the bounds of international lay. No other warships of that country, as Germany well knows, has attempted any such practices as are credited to its submarine: BACK-STAMPED MAIL, It wasn't so long ago that the prac- tice of back-stamping first class mail matter was in vogue throughout the post offices of the country, for the pur- pose of permitting the.recipient of a letter to know with what dispatch the mail was being handled. In many in- stances little or no attention was paid to it, but in the course of a day many references were made to such stamp- ing, which is not available today. Through the claim that it would ex- pedite the handling of the mail in the offices and for economy it was abandoned. The lack of it has been felt, how- ever and ex-Congressman Victor Mur- dock in his Witchita Eagle demands its return thus: “The department sneaked out of the custom with the plea that back-stamping caused delay. That is balderdash. The trouble was that back-stamping let the public keep tab on the efiiciency of the postal service and led to a flood of complaint and protest, which was irritating certainly, but beneficial to the public and the service. The receiver of a' delayed letter without a back stamp cannot tell whether the delay occurred in the of- fice of deposit, cn the train, in the local office or in delivery. He is in the dark, but the receiver of a delayed let- ter can:check up the local service at a glance if the letter is stamped in the office at the hour of receipt. The country is demanding a return to the former practice. The post office de- partment is resisting the demand. The country is right about it and ought to have its way. And if it howls long and loud enough it will have.” It is the majority sentiment which should prevail and if there is an earn- est demand for it, the back-stamp should be returned. It is a depart- ment which should come pretty near meeting the people’s demands. They pay for it. EDITORIAL NOTES. Portugal does not appear to have profited as much as it might from the state of affairs in Mexico. When it comes to selecting his jury Harry Thaw ought to study the for- mula used by Mrs. Carman, When it gets advice from its allies to keep peace with the United States, Germany ought to begin to think, Those Germans who are being in- terned in Ireland find that it isn't such a long way to Tipperary after all, The opportunity is ripe, of course, for someone to claim that the Lon- don riots were due to excessive use of barley water. Black and blue may be the colors for the next season, but it is going to require some struggle to overcome the blood red in the war zones, The man on the corner says: Any- one with experience must know that righteous indignation bears no re- semblance to a brainstorm. It seems a bit cold blooded the way New York has begun to figure the amount of inheritance tax it is going to receive from the Vanderbilt estate. The Karlsruhe is reported to be on its way to Norfolk, but from what shas been said about the cruiser being sunk this would appear to be quite a per- formance. It didn't take Dr. Dernburg long to interpret the attitude of the Ameri- can people. Berlin now has the op- metropolis. New York still has its zangsters and the still greater problem >t handling them in a manner which will bring about a greater respect for aw and order, The importance of giving them at- tention which they deserve is indi- :ated by the determination of the dis- irict attorney to request that two rourts be provided throughout the ummer for the prosecution of the wo hundred or more cases he expects o have ready for trial portunity to do likewise with the American note. Dr. Dernburg seeks for safe trans- portation home just as if he was an invited guest of this country. Thus far, however, no lives have been taken except by German ships. Bryan Mahan has taken up the du- ties of postmaster at New London, which gives him the new distinction so long claimed by Former Governor ‘Waller of being ex-everything except NORWICH Perhaps it being Mothers’ Day made Almira Ann unusually thoughtful. Per- haps it “just happened so.” But if she 1 sessed the seeing eyes that and beyond the surface of, things, father had never seen the dawn of his day. Almira Ann chanced to be looking from the window when her father came home. He carried a bunch of white carnations to present to mother. No one ever mistrusted that he had trudged long miles through the dust back and forth for many days that the money saved from car fares might be used, generously end gladly, for his contribution to the little cere- monies the family indulged in on ev- ery Mothers’ Day. The Harrisons’ old horse, head bent down and a general air of depresison possessing him, stood before the door. "Father Madson had stopped, patted the old creature fraternally and said to his driver, “Go easy on him. He's doing ‘his best. He's old ang tired.” Then as the driver started without the usual slash of whip and jerk at the patient mouth, father had added sympathetically, “He's tired; he needs a vacation.” That night, Almira, who had been doing some silent thinking, asked her mother “when pa had had a vacation.” “Vacation?’ mused mother. “Well, really and truly, I doubt if he's had once since we married, 30 years ago. He went once back home. That was when his mother died. He was gone a week then.” “A sorrowful sort of a vacation, that,” commented Almira Ann. “Well, you see,” explained her moth- er, “he never could seem to afford one. The only one anyway that he'd care to take would be back to his old home, and that costs too much.” A few evenings later Almira man- aged to spring the subject on her un- suspecting parent. “Tell me something,” she urged “won’t you, dad, about your old home? It must have been a mighty interesting place, from the little I've heard about 5 Dad brightened visibly and instan- taneously. Usually one of the most si- lent of men, he became actually gar- rulous over the beauties and attrac- tions of his boyhood home and sur- roundings. A “You ought to go there some time, Sis,” he sai “There’s no_place like it, to my mind. There's a brook run- ning through the meadow just below our old house. Many’'s the fine trout T've caught there. It flows_ into the river half a mile farther down the glen. There's a_jolly camping ground at the bend in the river.” He paused a moment, smiling as his mind roamed through the old haunts, and Almira could scarcely believe this was her quiet, reticent, shy father as he rampled on—of birds and rabbits and squirrels, of blackbirds shooting through the masses of mountain lau- rel; of the secrecy and the silence of the still woodland ways; of the wide meadows of buttercups, the tangled masses of wild flowers, campion, vio- lets, starworts, purple ground ivy and hyecinths. He described a lake where swallows at evening dipped and circled and flashed over the dark surface. He recalled travels through the pine woods and meetings under great elms; and Almira jistened, fascinated and yet al- most aghast, as she recognized the longing in the sudden avalanche of memories she had, all unwittingly, evoked. She felt the hot tears of pity dim- BULLETIN, ming her eyes. Was this happy his- torian “father”? Father, who was pop- ularly presumed not to possess a thought or desire in the world separate from his family end their aspirations. Ang with what was he closing his-ora. tion? What was this he was saying That sometimes at the office when bus- iness was dull he amused himself by drawing pictures of the old place and its haunts, end that some time he show them to his daughter, tel use for odds and ends needed. She herself had $20, saved by infinite economy from her small salary, and how gladly and freely she would have given it; but how to realize the remainder? That was the question. And father’s vacation only two weeks away! He was already mentioning various jobs of work eround home that he intended doing while home, and no one said him “nay.” He had always devoted that fortnight to odd jobs of painting, papering, fixing up in general, and why not now? But Almira looking with opened eyes upon the gray hairs and wrinkled brow of her patient father, was somehow cruelly reminded of the Harrisons’ horse and its need of a vacation. “He's homesick, t0o,” she murmured, “and I've simply got to find zome way to let him go.” The way came and tne nick of time. Its beginning was in a letter from Aunt Almira Ann, for whom the eager girl wore her quaint, old-fash- ioned name. It read: : ‘Dear Niece Alrima Ann —You will remember the case of books belonging to me, in your attic. Do you mind going through them and sending me those with my name on their fly leaf?” The rest you may dispose of as you choose. Let me give you a hint, though: Some of those old editions may have a value to collectors. Better find out. Whatever they bring is yours. “Your loving aunt, “ALMIRA ANN.” ‘They were of value. When Alm‘ira had disposed of them, to her-grateful wonder and joy, she held a hundred doller bill in her hands. To all the various sugestions offered as to its investment she.turned deaf ears. The night before his vacation began she went to her father with the mone “Dad,” she sald softly, “wouldn’t it be simply great if you and I could ‘g0 out to your old home and spend your vacation going around to all the dear old Vplaces? The trout stream, the orchard where the Northern Spies and Pound Sweets grow, the woods ro: lined with mountain laurel, the picni grounds and the pine groves; visit the little schoolhouse and—" Here she was interrupted by her father. “Child, child,” he said nerv- ously; “are you crazed?” “Does this look like it?” she an- swered as she placed the wonderful talisman in his trembling hands. ‘When he tried to thank his daughter she puzzled him by remarking that he must not thank her, but himself, Mothers' Day and Harrison's old white in horse. And so father had his brief day of pleasurc and the memories that were to sweeten all the possible bitternes of future life and strife; and whether Al- mira, her aunt, Harrison's horse or his own unselfishness brought it makes small difference.—Boston Post. Stories of Visit to Internment Camp. The Rev. A. A. Pfanstiahl of Chi- cago, who is in Hoiland giving a se- ries of lectures on the United States, sends the following account of his visit t othe internment camp at Groningen, Holland, where the men of the British Naval Brigade have been interned since their retreat from Antwerp over the Dutch border. “The men are fortunate in being placed in Groningen. It is an old uni- versity town, and soldiers can profit by the privileges of the university lassrooms, which are open to them without charge. | “The camp is thoroughly organized. Large barracks, low wooden buildings, have been erected on an open .plain There is a large reereation hall, pro- vided with writing tables and equip- ment, games, and a well-stocked read- ing room. Lectures are given at fre- quent intervals. At one end of the hall a room is screened off, and here Church of England services are held, conducted by the Rev. H. H. Coryton and an assitant stationed in the camp. Services are also held for men of other religious denominations. “Nearby, in other buildings, there are shops of all kinds, where the men can employ themselves usefully at carpentry, wood carving, tailoring, shoemaking, hairdressing, tent and net making, or knitting and weaving. Many of the goods made here are sent to England. “A small daily newspaper is edited and printed in the camp, and there is a libarary of over 1,000 volumes. The camp has its own postoffice, where parcels and letters are received and dispatched free of postage. The men all, wear wooden shoes, to which the Dutch quickly accustomed them. “The camp is in charge of a Dutch commandant, with whom I had a long conversation. ‘They are a remarkably representative crowd’, he told me. ‘Here you have university graduates and men of wealth and influence alongside miners, sailors, fishing lads and factory hands. Adl this is strange and interesting to us Hollanders, who are strictly democratic in theory, vet in® practice take a much stricter ac- count of class distinctions than do tnese Englishmen. But I have been noticing the effect, and find that the mingling of the classes is helpful; it certainly has a profound influence on the characters of the men, and they learn to understand and respect one another. “The relation of the two clergymen to the men is also a marvel to us Dutch. They even direct their sports! See, there goes the young preacher now in football togs, to take part in a match. It could never be done in Hol- land. Tt seemed very strange to me at first, but after seeing its practical working, I think it's the right thing.” Japanese Become Outlaws. According to Japanese reports from Tsingtau, a number of Japanese have become outlaws and joined with bri- gand bands of Chinese who are operat- ing in the Province of Shantung. Jap- anese trcops are hunting them down. After the occupation of Tsingtau by the Japanese army, large numbers of Japanese crassed over from their own country to the newly occupied dis- tricts. So extensive was the immigra- tion that, according to Consular re- ports, even rickshaw coolies came over to Tsingtau in order to compete with the Chinese coolies at this profitless occupation. ‘The number of Japanese who came to Tsingtau been roughly esti- mated at ten thousand, apart from soi- diers and officials. They came with the hope of making money readily, and many of them were undoubtedly dis- appointed, because many of the Ger- Summer is usually the quiet geason’extinct, and both are far from that. lmans who Were not made prisoners took leave of their former settiement. Likewise many of the better class Chinese, being in dread of the Japan- ese, also departed. Trade and com- merce in consequence fell off badly, and many of the Japanese immigrants did not find ready occupation for which they had hoped. This is probably the reason that some of them entered the more lucrative occupation of bring- andage. Germany’s Orphans and Widows. ‘What to do for the great army of orphans and widows left by the war is & question already engaging various charitable organizations of Berlin. Varlous plans have just been discussed at the national meetings of two of these societies held at Berlin. A plan put forward by Professor Mayet Is that needy widows be gathered in com- munities where they can be given work and where provision can be made for educating their children in large mass- es. Financial assitance for peasants’ widows for the purpose of enabling them to hold on to their land was also advocated. Continuation schools for country boys and girls, as well as fam- ily evenings for general instruction and entertainment, were other measures put forth. A still more ambitious pro- posal was that the Imperial Govern- ment establish a bureau whose duty shall be to take in hand the task of preparing widows and orphams for work they may seem best fitted to do, and also to find employment for them. 4 Methodical War., “This is a mekhodical war,” writes an English soldier who served in sev- eral Indian campaigns and also in the South African War, and who is now at the front near Ypres. “In South Afri- ca,” he explains, “we rode gaily out in the morning never knowing wether we would meet an enemy over the first hill or never see one all day. Here we go to fight by the six o'clock omnibus from Viemerunghe. We knew that we shall be in the firing line at a certain hour and out of it at another. It is all cut and dried. “The Germans are even more meth- odical. There is a town about two miles behind our line that they shall regularly every Sunday from 11 to 3 and every Wednesday from 1 to 2:30, and_at no other time. This has gone on for months.” Chinese Commerce Little ‘Affected. Julean H. Arnold, the newly appoint- ed American commercial attache, has returned to Peking after a tour of the principal business centers of China. Contrary to his expectations, he found the war had not seriously affected Chinese commerce; in fact many lines of business have been greatly benefit- ted as a result of the war. The price of antimony, of which China produces & fair quantity, has risen four-fold, and cow hides are now selling for over twice as much as they brought prior to the war. Most of the purchases are being made by the Jap- anese, who are now manufacturing arms, ammunition, leather and general equipment for the Russian army. Trade in the British Colony of Hong Kong has suffered severely owing to the fact that from 70 to 80 per cent of all business done at the port was through German firms. Canton, being the nearest Chinese port, has conse- quently suffered also. Nevertheless, there is great confidence among busi- ness men there. In Hankow and Shanghai there has been a very good business showing. Seventy-five per cent. of the work of manufacturing rifie ammunition for the ® United States Army and Navy-is dope by, Fgreie.
