The failure of the legislature to do . 1905, average O RS S A ——— T ————————————— anything with the proposition to res- ulate the jitneys either for the protec- tion of the public or the establish- ment of uniformity throughout the state in the treatment of this new method of transportation, leaves the question_entirely with the cities and towns. To a large degree it is a prob- lem which calls for regulation by the different communities and upon which they would have been called to take action even though theegislature had seen the advisability of*passing a state law. One argument used against a state law was the unknown length of time which the jitney could be expected to be with us, It was claimed that two years hence nothing of the kind might be in existence and such may be the case, but certainly there is need of regulation while the experiment is be- Ing giver a tryout. 5 The experience of those cities where the jitney fever has become contagious cannot be overlooked. It has been necessary to adopt protective measures to fix a bond for each and every car o operated, to limit the time which jitneys can remain standing in the streets waiting for passengers and to limit the number of passengers to the seating capacity. Much of this has become necessary for safety, as a large number of accidents and many fatal- ities have resulted from the operation of such cars and the fight for bus- iness, and again the need of prevent- ing a congestion of the streets has also been recognized. What has been found necessary in other cities is por- tended for the larger cities at least in Connecticut. EXCUSE PROVIDED FOR IT. Without knowing what answer Ger- many will make to the American note which calls for the disavowal of such acts as have been committed under its submarine policy and the bringing to a prompt end of such practices, many opinions have been advanced as to what course is likely, and these range all the way from compliance to a refusal with the suggestion that ar- bitration will be asked, Whatever Germany does, it is hard- 1y probable that the entire question will be adjusted by the awaited reply. The point involved is, of course, Ger- many’s right to totally eliminate itself from the restrictions of international law. It is this endeavor which has brought about the present situation, which made it necessary for this coun- try to enter its protest and promise that a strict accountability would be demanded and which brought about the existing state of affairs. In the note of this country there was provided, however, an excuse for the German government, when the declaration was made that it was not believed to be by the direction of the government that such methods as have been followed by the submarines were put into operation, It was held not to be in accordance with its past policy concerning the freedom of the seas. Thus is provided a way for Germany to disavow the acts of its submarine commanders without humiliation and at the same time to declare that no further actions of the kind will be permitted. Whether it will avail itselt of this way out and the preservation of its friendly relations with this coun- try remains to be seen. KINDNESS. This is the week which has been set aside as “be kind to animals” week, to be concluded with Humane Sun- day. The purpose of this is to have one Sunday in the vear devoted to special services calling attention to the need for protection for suffering and helpless children and also for un- fortunate animals that there may be an advance in the cause of such pro- tection and universal kindness. The suggestion is made that there should be special exercises in the schools, public addresses and specially pre- pared ecsays and articles with the idea of arousing greater interest in this important matter. It doesn't make any difference how extensive the observance is made or how seriously the question is taken up there is plenty which can be done in an educational way along this line \which is bound to show good results. ere is no danger that there will be _manifestation of too mueh humane consideration for man or beast. Rather is it the experience that thers is too Uttle and wherever & good word can dropped which will stimulate kind- ness, or bring about reliet for suffer- bumanity or animals it is time effort well expended. Those who are “backing the idea are Iaboring in a, good cause, . ‘While it is & cause in which there should be constant effort throughout the year and not a matter to be ad- vacated for a week or a Sunday and then dropped, there is much to be gain- €d through such a presentation of the cause and keeping it fresh in the minds of the péople. The practice should prevail, however, at all times. GERMAN-AMERICANS. There can be little question but what Herman Ridder voiced the sen- timent of the vast majority of the German-Americans of this country When he declared that he stood for this country first and would fight un- der no flag but the Stars and Stripes. It is this same attitude which is taken by many others, many of whom have openly denounced the torpedoing of merchantmen without warning and display no sympathy whatever with the policy which Germany has been putting forth. In all probability it required no lit- tle thought upon the part of the large number of hyphenated Americans be- fore severing thelr ties to thelr na- tive land and pledging their allegiance to this country, but having done so there remains nothing for them to do but to be the same loyal citizens to the country of their adoption as they were to the country of their birth up to the time when it was found to their advantage to change. There may still be a love for the home land and it is not at all surprising that there should be, but when it comes to the question of duty, to the matter of loyalty and to the matter of their own vital in- terests there is no semsible course which remains for them to follow but to stand by this country and its flag. i Many have been the public expres- sions since the opening of the war and since the sinking of the Lusitania but from them it is impossible to be- lieve that in a crisis the German born citizens of the United States would bs anywhere but solidly back of Uncle Sam. It is the only place they, as g00d Americans can consistently stand. PROMOTING SHEEP INDUSTRY. It cannot help being felt that the legislature of New Hampshire has done a wise thing in the passage of the appropriation which will aid in the development of the sheep raising in- dustry. There was a time when this state like many others in this part of the country supported large flocks. It is not so today, but there are, never- theless, excellent opportunities for the revival of the industry. New Hamp- shire has apparently taken a forward step in this direction and the other states have no greater probiems to contend with than has that state, Between sheep raising and the se- rious menace from dogs, New Hamp- shire takes a sensible view of the sit- uation in believing that greater pro- tection must be given to the farmers. In recognition thereof an improvement has been made in the dog law whereby the farmers’ Interests are placed first and get more consideration than in the past. An increase in sheep rais- ing is believed to be preferable to a lot of blood-thirsty dogs running about the commonwealth destroying valuable property, Every New England state might fol- low the lead of New Hampshire with excellent results. It would mean the putting to good use & much land which is now showing no profit. It ‘would mean an important contribution to the meat supply of this section of the country and there is always an opportunity for marketing the wool. Several vears ago State Semator An- gus Park pointed out the necessity of giving greater attention to sheep rais- ing in Connecticut and there are just as good If not better reasons today for lending greater encouragement to that. industry, EDITORIAL NOTES. After four months of pleasure some of the legislators see the necessity of settling down to work. Those with clean-up week in mind should begin to think about taking down the shovel and the hoe. The man on the corner says: Age brings wisdom, but most men would prefer to have youth than be wise old owls. The impending entrance of Italy into the war again brings up the question as to what the Balkan states are going to do. 1t doesn’t look as If it would require much of a push to get Italy's war machine off the lose pulley and onto speed, The peace loving people of this world are constantly reallzing that their zone of travel is being steadily diminished. Bven Germany takes a slap at Sec- retary Bryan when it suggests that the American note was framed by Great Britain. ‘There was patriotism which inspired that Canadian man who underwent two surgical operations in order that he might be acceptable for enlistment. Those few European countries which are standing by and looking on are using good judgment, but in some cases a tremendous lot of self restraint. ‘While Dr. Dernburg is appealing for a safe passage it might be well to make his presence act as life insur- ance to fellow passengers on one of the big liners, When a New Haven jitney driver says he was too busy to obey signals and didn't know them anyway, what's the use trying to give the freedom of the highways to such service? The idea that it Is necessary under its policy to sink all vessels, warning or no warning, is considerably upset when a German submarine escorts a Swedish steamer into a Swedish port. F. S, Butterworth, the former foot- ball star at Yale never rejoiced any more when the opponents missed a goal than he did when a German tor- pedo missed his steamer by thirty yards. Germany may say that if the Lusi- tania carried no ammunition there would have been no second explosion which caused the rapid sinking, but it might better say if no torpedo had been fired all would have been well “I see that the sign is down from our_front window,” Simmons remark- ed to his wife. “Has somebody taken the_apartment?” “Yes, at last” Mrs. Simmons an- swered cheerfully. ~“I'm so glad!” “You said it had been a nuisance to show it to people all these weeks, es- pecially as they always remarked it was so old-fashioned. Do you know the people who have taken it?” ““Yes, I do; so do you! Their name 1s Simmons.” “What? You don't mean to say—?" “Just what I do mean to say,” laughed Mrs. Simmons. “I telephoned the agent this afternoon that we'd keep it ourselves. 1 knew yowd be glad, because you have always said it was the nicest place we ever had.” “Yes, but you thought it was too old _style—not a bit up to date.” “That's what I like ebout it now,” Mrs. Simmons sald. “You eee, I've been looking around for an apartment for three weeks and I have given up in despair. 1 thought it would be a very simple matter because we had so lit- tle in this flat and that I should be easily pleased. I imegined that an improvement over this would be easy to find. Here all we have is large sunny rooms and a porch, which does not sound like very much, when you come to think of it.” “It always was enough for me and the kids,” sald Simmons. “The first flat I looked at” Mrs. Simmons went on, “had the smallest rooms I ever saw anywhere. They were smaller than closets, as I told the janitor. He looked at me scorn- fully and said the rooms didn’t mal ter when there was a roof garden we could go to. He took me up to the roof and showed me a sort of beer gar- den place with artificial palms and all sorts of benches painted pink. When 1 proved slow in my admiration the janitor accused me of being the only person that had not gone crazy over the thing. All the flats, he said, were rented but the one I looked at.” “Such a spot would be a cheerful place to share with some neighbors I have met. Especially those with dogs.” “From there 1 went to one way out north,” Mrs. Simmons weat on with a laugh. “It was called ‘The Castle’ and it had such a prepossessing outside that I was ready to take the first apart- ment I liked. The rent was a little high when you remember that there were only six rooms. I told the agent who showed me around that I did not care to pay $110 for six tiny dark rooms and he asked whether I had no- ticed the dining room. He said it in SHE LOOKED AT FLATS such a triumphant tome that I felt guilty to remember that all I had no- ticed there was the green globe on the droplight. “He called my attention to a square stone box over by the window and in- formed me that this was the only building in the city with aquariums in the spargmenta Thovs . ormamental Dboxes had small fountains in them and you were supposed to keep gold fish in them. The man said that he had rented seven of the flats because peo- ple were so glad to have such an in- teresting thing for the amusement of the children, especially when meals were late and the children were in- clined to become impatient.” “Say, 1 hate to doubt you word—" “I'mtelling you the honest truth,” Mrs. Simmons said solemnly. “It was like that in a lot of the flats. There was one that had an absolutely dark pantry, with not a window to its name. The rooms were so chopped up with arched fancy doorways that you'd have the whole place swept every time you touched one room, and there was ab- solutely no privacy. But listen, Mr. Simmons! There was a mirror in the door of the icebox! . “Eventually I gave up looking for an apartment large enough and light enough for us and our two children and began collecting the chromos of- fered to flat renters in the way of trimmings. One building advertised tile covered loggias and I paid 10 cents carfare just to go see them and a pergoda ‘Toof garden. It's an actual fact that the janitor expected me to take the flat at once, before I had set my foot in it! He said that most peo- ple did. In ome bullding the flats were small and I couldn’t discover any bed- rooms, but the agent’s man showed me two disappearing beds, one in the liv- ing room and one in the dining room and triumphantly declared that bed- rooms were very much out of fashion nowadays. I think it was there that the chandeliers are set in genuine sil- ‘Which would be such a comfort to think about when one had to hustle to get out of the road before the break- fast was put on.” “Well, it was all like that” Mrs. Simmons sald with a catisfied sigh. “So after three weeks of a flat hunting orgy 1 hurried home to my own old fashioned comfortable sunny big rooms, stopping at a drug store to tel- ephone the agent for fear he would rent it this day. I feel as if T had learned a great deal. Somehow I keep asking myself: “What kind of people have taken those flats?"—Chicago News. Stories of the War Sultan Hears of the War. Interviewing a sultan is not a sim- ple matter, but it can be done as was demonstrated by the correspondent of The Associated Pr who on_April 6 was received by His Majesty Moham- med V., and cabled to America the view of that ruler on this war and other subjects of vital interest to his country. The success of this attempt to obtain at first hand the Sultan’s iew was mainly due to the fact that The Associated Press correspondent had witnessed the bombardment of the Dardanelles coast fortifications and that His Majesty wanted to hear the story of the bombardment from a neu- tral, feeling, perhaps, that is en- tourage had somewhat overdrawn the account of the Turkish victory. He also wanted to get an outsiders’ opin- jon of the Ottoman forces guarding the strait that leads to his capital, and last but mot least, and this may in some parts be looked upon as unusual for Turkey. His Majesty was interest- ed in the lot of the people who hed been driven from their homes during the bombardment. Mohammed V. is a kindly soul—an old man in whom the fullness of years and the tribulations of life have pi duced a pleasing mellowness of spirit. Two other newspapermen were per- mitted to see the sultan. One of them was Raymond E. Swing, of the Chicago Daily News, who together with The Associated Press correspondent had gone through the bombardment of March 18th, and the other was Dr. Emil Ludwig, correspondent of the Berlin Tageblatt, who had also been at the Dardenelles but had left several days before the bombardment. ‘The cabled interviewed, however, did not cover the way in which the corres- pondents were themselves interviewed not only by the Sulten, but by his first aid de camp, Brigadier General H. Salih Pacha, who received the party and conducted them to His Majesty. “I know it is almost imgossible to believe that the shells of the Allies did not work -greater havoc,” said Salih Pacha, when a review of conditions in the Dardanelles forts had been given by The Associated Press correspond- ent while awaiting presentation. “No doubt, our enemies will say that they did more than they have donme. I am glad that in this instance the world does not to merely take our word for n> Salih Pacha was very sorry that a certain lieutenant, who on many oce sions had distinguished himself by h! bravery, had been kilied. The old soldier regretted that the officer had died in the manner in which he did— suffocation under a small hill of earth which a shell had thrown over him, “Poor Hassan,” he sais, “But some of us have to go that road, of course.’ Conversation drifted from one phase of the bombardment to another. Salih Pacha_showed the greatest interest. “His Majesty is keenly interested in what you saw,” he said. “I wish you would tell him all you know. But you must speak rather loudly because my ears are not as good as they used to be—getting a little old, you know.” Then a court official announced that His Majesty was ready to receive the visitors. Salih Pacha rose and inti- mated that single file be formed. The little procession was headed by him, then came The Associated Press cor- respondent, Mr. Swing and Dr. Lud- wig. To the right and left and in the rear walked several court attaches. On the highly polished parquette floor of the great central hall of the palace lay a carpet runner. Evidently it is etiquetie to keep one's feet on this. Salih Pacha followed the run- ner with an impressive military pre- cision, coming almost to a complete halt, and facing about, when a corner ‘was reached. In this manner a second hall was also partly traversed. In this hall the great stairway of the pal- ace is located. The party ascended the steps slowly, its members having am- ple opportunity to observe the dignified splendor of their surroundings, the most striking feature of which were the srystal balustrades of the stair- ways and leandings. On the second floor of the building 1t became evident that architect and dec- orator had been held in check. The ceilings are tastefully decorated as are also the walls, but generally an almost severe plainness prevailed. To the right of the stairway lies a short cor- ridor. Salih Pacha led the way into this, and a few steps brought the party to a door, which someone inside open- ed. Another introduction of the visi- tors followed. This over, the man to whom the callers had been presented disappeared through the door of an adjoining room which he entered for just @ moment. When he reappeared he was salaaming deeply to some one in the room. “Enter in the maaner in which you have followed me,” said Salih Pacha. to the visitors. “T shall enter last. As the visitors appeared in the door His Majesty arose from the divan where he had been sitting, returned the simple bow that was given, smiled in a most engaging manner and said a few words of greeting in Turkish. Op- posite the divan had been placed three chairs. To these His Majesty pointed with an invitation to the callers to be seated. Before the journalists sat down, Mohammed V. shook hands with them in so hearty a fashion that the rattle of cuff buttons could be heard. Salih Pacha had so far remained near the door. Upon invitation of His Majesty he approached and then pre- sented the visitors. This was done in Turkish. Nothing more than the word “gazettschi” —correspondent —and the name of the organization could be un- derstood, however. His Majesty want- ed to know how many newspapers were represented in The Associated Press. When told the number, he seemed unable to believe it, but soon remembered as he told his aide de camp, that the United States was the country of big things, anyway. ““Tell the gentlemen,” said His Maj- esty to Salih Pacha, “that T am greatly honored by their visit, and that it af- fords me great pleasure to know that American newspapermen were able to observe the action of March 18th. I bid them welcome to Turkey and this city.” “When the aide de camp had trans- lated. the Associated Press correspond- ent, on behalf of himself and the oth- been granted an interview. To the Te- petition of this in Turkish His Majesty listened attentively, nodding in appre- ciation each time part of the response had been translated. “His Majesty would like to hear from you the story of the operations of the Allies against the Dardanelles, more _especially what occurred on March 18th,” said Salih Pacha. “Make = <10 ers, expressed his pleasure of having ~ GOLD It is most For every brz“’shtenineg and cleaning purpose Gold Dust is used at least three times a day in millions - y thousands of housewi ho think of housewives who Yot thare ace Dust is only for a few uses— Gold Dust should be used for cleaning everything.

Now and then His Majesty would put a question. What had been the conduct of his soldiers on the vari- ous days; had the populations of Tchanak Kale and Killd Bahr suffered much; what had been the effect of the terrific noise upon the mind of the cor- respondent—had he been afraid? These were some of the things that interested the sultan very much. “I am convinced that the Dardanelles can not be forced,” sald His Majesty when the story of the Dardanelles bombardment had been told. “The brave conduct of our troops in the re- cent operations against the strait per- mit me to conclude that, though the Allies bend every effort and employ every means at their disposal, they will be unable to achieve their purpose.” His Majesty then asked Mr. Swing what his impression of the bombard- ment had been. Mr. Swing related how while going through the streets of Tchanak Kale on March 1Sth he had been most unpleasantly impressed by the_detonation of the exploding shells —15-inch affairs from the “Queen Eliz- abeth.” He had been unable to control his nerves, said Mr. Swing, and each time a shell had exploded he had felt the uncontrollable desire to stoop. An 6ld Turk had seen this and had come beside him to give comfort accompany- ing gentle pats on the shoulder with the worlds: ‘Yock, yock—Kismet.” That a Turk had in such an hour of stress found time to comfort another seemed to please His Majesty greatly. To ome words to that effect the sultan added: “But the man did not apply the proper word, my young friend. We use the word kismet only in relation to the smaller events in life. If you were eating an orange and one haif of it should fall to the ground just when you were about to put it into your mouth that would be an occasion for the use of the word kismet. But in matters of life and death it is more appropriate to use the word ‘kader. That word expresses exactly what the old man wanted to convey. It means that our fate is in the hands of a su- perior force and that what is to hap- pen will happen, no matter what we ourselves may do. The idea is known among you as Fatalism, I believe. It is a very good one, because confidence in the Supreme and resignation to_our fate mean a great deal in life. For- merly we Turks believed in it altogeth- er. But we have come to realize that a belief in kader alone will not do. We must work.” His Majesty then asked for some ad- ditional details on the sinking of the French ship “Bouvet” and the British ship “Irresistable.” That the former had gone down within three minutes Dbrought an expression of sorTow to the kindly face of the old man, as if he regretted that so many human beings, nearly §00, had perished without the slightest chance to fight for life. There was another reference to the conduct of the Turkish soldiers in the coast de- fense service. “It has been said that there was a strong factor of luck in our victory of March 15th which made it so complete and great.” said His Majesty. “But we have a saying in Turkjsh which runs: “Luck is Infatuated ‘with the effic- cient.” The translation of what His Majesty said next may have been a little faulty. Lither. that or irony was intended. It was this: “His Majesty says that he finds it very unjust that the Allies want to force the Dardanelles end take Constantinople just to import food- stuffs from Russia.” Then His Majes- ty continued: “But our troops have shown their ability and willingness to do their duty. I am speaking here not alone of the Turkish defenders of the who have so efficiently and bravely co- operated with them.” Dr. Ludwig was then given an op- vortunity to ask His Majesty what he thought of the conduct of the German and Austro-Hungarian troops. “I would thank all of you if you would say for me that my admiration for the German troops in the western and eastern theatres of war is so great that it is impossibfe for me to ex- pres in words my high opinion of their valor and efficiency. Concerning their commander-in-chief, Emperor William I can only say that we in Turkey pray hat he may enjoy the best health for many years.” His Majesty confirmed that he had been given by the German Emperor the Iron Crosses, first and second classes. “I am proud of having been present- ed with these medals, which decorate So many brave men,” said the sultan. Turning _to the American corre- spondents His Majesty reiterated that it was e pleasure to him to know that two American newspapermen had wit- nessed the operations against the Dar- danelles. 1 value the opinion of neutrals high- ly,” said His Majesty, “and am pleased NEW BILL TODAY An_Entire Change From THE WHIRLING DISK l Two Reels—Maison-King SACKS & MIKE AUDITORIUM PAT WHITE AND HIS BIG JUBILEE In CASEY AT THE CARNIVAL A MUSICAL COMEDY FARCE IN ONE BIG ACT In an Entire New Program Never Before Seen in This City.
