In conmection with its other big problems Great Britain has a cabinet reorganization task on its hands. This is always a matter of vital importance to every government and especially so is it to Great Britain at this time because it is invelved in a vital war, but from the manmer in which it has set about the solution of the difficulties there bids fair to result a stronger and more satisfactory body of men at the helm of the nation’s affairs. Tor & long time there has been dis- satisfaction at the mamner in which the naval affatrs have been conduct- ed. There bas been friction which could not be concealed and there has been criticism which made it evident that a weak spot existed which need- ed to be improved. As far back as the time when the assault upon Ant- ‘werp was receiving attention Sir Win- ston Churchill as first lord of the ad- miralty was pointed -out as using poor judgment. This was renewed follow- Ing the unsuccessful attemnt to force the Dardanelles, a plan which was carried out directly against the ad- vice of the sea lords whe recognized the necessity of a land' force to oper- ats in connection with the fleet, and since that time the break between the civilian head of the navy and Admiral Fisher has increased. The change which now bids fair to go through means the calling together of the best in all parties. It means placing patriotism befare polities and is purely a war measure. It is a time Wwhen the interests of the country must come before personal ideas and when the needs must be met. Though such changes are viewed as a crisis it looks like a reorganization which will af- ford greater security for the empire. THE COMING CONFERENCE. Like the sending of business rep- resentatives from this to Latin-Ameri- can countries, much good can be an- ticipated from the forthcoming confer- ence at Washington next week at which will be present delegates from practically all countries in the west- ern hemisphere. It will be after the nature of a great get-together meet- ing for the purpose of discussing mat- ters of common Interest with especial reference to financial, commercial and transportation questions. Fach coun- try has its particular problems and as the result of the setting forth of such details there should be furnished the basis for a better understanding and methods devised for overcoming the handicaps, A new era of claser relations be- tween the countries of North and South America is dawninz. The de- sire and need for a change was long ago recognized in this. country, but slow has been the progress in chang- ing conditions. The affairs of the past two years, however, have brought all lo a realization of the shortcomings of existing conditions. Though actu- ily severing the two continents, the sonstruction of the Panama canal has drought them closer together, while the Buropean conflict has emphasized ‘he importance of the American repub- dcs looking to the development of their 'wn resources and the improvement ¥ _thelr relations, The conference is an excellent idea. 't has many possibilities before it and ‘here are good reasons for believing hat it will result to a certain desree it Teast in accomplishing what is in- ended. OPPORTUNITY IN CHINA. ! Here for the purpose of studying our esources with a view to stimulating rade relations between China and this ountry, it is a significant statement vhich is made by Cheng-HsumChank, thairman of a commission of Chinese nerchants when he declares that the Jnited States is the only real friend hat China has in the whole world, md by the vice chairman of the body vhen he says that the two countries hould have “direct trade with each ther.” The imports by China each year each the sizable total of $100,000,000 n cotton and manufactured goods done. There is only about one-tenth ¢ this which goes directly from this ountry to China. Whatever else there s which is produced here and eventu- Ily finds its way to the Chinese, it is andled through other countries. There say be reasons for this through the P regrettable condition of our merchant marine and through the fact that it is the vessels of other nations which are for the most part in the trade between continents, but it would appear to be time, even though it Is being brought to attention by dele- gates from China, that there was a change In this situation, the same as it has been urged that there be lines of American steamers for direct com- munication with the South American countries for the purpose of getting a greater share of their trade. It would appear that this country had excellent opportunities in this di- rection for trade development and a development such as China is anxious to encourage. Such being the case, the bringing about of conditions which would give stimulation to such an end for this country’s advantage can hard- 1y be given a cold shoulder, while ef- forts are being made to build up our foreign trade, and when cotton and manufactured goods are referred to it especially interests New England and the south. WOULD MEAN SACRIFICING RIGHTS. In view of the claims that have been made that passergers should not have entrusted their lives to a ship like the Lusitania which was carrying am- munition and contraband, it has been proposed henceforth that transatlantic liners ¥eek to overcome that situation by refusing to carry any contraband on the passenger vessels, and vice versa. Such, it is pointed out, would be only what the American line has done in refusing to carry contraband, but it is to be remembered that the American line is strictly engaged in neutral trade, and thus has every rea- sor for refraining from carrying con- traband. It also sees the opportunity to develop its business through such a declaration. The separation of passengers and contraband traffic might be a good suggestion, but for the fact that it would mean the abandonment of a right which the nations of the world have given to merchant vessels that are unarmed. There is provided a method for handling such vessels which carry contraband under the law of the nations and it does not sanction the unwarned torvedoing of the ships or the taking of the lives of neutrals or even non-combatants. To put into effect such a plan would also mean to a certain degree an ac- knowledgment that the submarine pol- icy of the Germans is right, a fact which cannot and will not be done. Ex- cept for the fact that it would mean the sacrificing of rights to which every nation, including Germany, is entitled, the suzgestion might be looked upon as one worthy of adoption for the con- tribution to safety. LACK OF LAW ENFORCEMENT. It does not require much effort to demonstrate the harm or the loss which occurs daily through the lack of enforcement of the law. The ery for new legislation is persistently heard but as a matter of fact it is pretty poor use which 1s made of much of that which already exists. Before a convention of the New York State Association of Weights and Measures an exhibition of short weight amounting to two cents a pound on coffee was made whereby there was represented a loss of $60,000,000 a year to the households of the state figuring all weights on that basis. Such, how- ever, would not hold true for all deal- ers are not engaged in cheating their customers, but just how extensive the practice is only those who make a point of keeping tabs on such matters can tell. That the amount by which the people of that state are swindled each year through short weights and measures runs well into the millions is not too much to believe, and it is a scheme which goes on wherever there is the least inclination to laxity in the enforcement of the law or an unwiliingness to prosecute. With a law existing in that regard it is important that it should be lived up to. It is only right that those mer- chants who are treating their trade with honest weights should get pro- tection. They are concerned as much as the householder and wherever there is a disposition to overlook such in- fractions of the law there is need for a proper prod being applied to the officials who are tolerant of those con- ditions. Dishonesty and misrepresen- tation have no justified claim. EDITORIAL NOTES. The Goliath is now numbered among the Turkish trophies. The man on the corner says: Lazi- ness is spring fever that has reached the chronic stage. Even Great Britain does not believe that it is impossible to make beneficial changes in the cabinet. Isn’t it about time for Germany to be asking this country to take care of its interests in Italy? It isn’t to be forgotten that the man who likes peace often fights the hard- est when trouble really comes. Many people feel that they are “too proud to fight” just because someone gave them the German measles, Dr. Dernburg contemplates his trip across the ocean with more misgiv- ings than Dr. Cock does the scaling of Mt. Everest. Much complaint is heard of the cold May, but it is far preferable to the way things are warming up over in the old country. Dr. Dernburg appears to be on his way, but he doesn’t really know how he is going, or how little he has ac- complished for humanity. No more difficult task could be im- agined than trying to explain to the heathen just why civilization consid- ers it proper to go to war. Is it human nature or thoughtless- ness which discards a paper bag, a pasteboard box or a tin can wherever | its usefulness comes to an end? In view of the other attacks upon American citizens there is not so much surprise that the Yaqui Indians should want to participate, but of course they ought to know better. Some people are never satisfied. A woman shoplifter in Springfleld, who has been arrested 18 times and jump- ed bonds totalling $8,000, was surprised because she was sent to jail. Secretary Daniels says the navy is strong and efficlent enough as far as it goes. It thus occupies about the sameé position to some others as Jack Johnson did to Jess Willarf New Haven, May 20.—For the past few years a number of Yale men have been taking an active interest in Dr. Grenfell's work in Labrador. Each summer-there have been from four to ten men under Dr. Grenfell stationed along the coast of Labrador, or sail- ing on one of the hoats doing hospital duty. A few years ago the Interest was so great that funds were raised for the purchase of a boat for the work. This ship was appropriately named “The Yale.” Since its purchase the boat has been Dr. Grenfell's most serviceable ship, doing both winter and summer sailing, under Yale men. Last year the sum of $1,000 was raised among the undergraduates for the pur- chase of a new engine for the craft. This was installed lest summer by three members of the class of 1914. There were also five other Yale un- dergraduates who devoted last summer to this mission work. Owing to the war it has been necessary to curtail part of the work in Labrador during the winter. It is hoped, however, that it will be possible to open all stations again this summer. Twelve students of the university have already signi- fieq their desire to enter the summer service for the coming summer, and it is_expected that more Yale men will take advantage of the opportunities offered in Dr. Grenfell's work than ever before. Last summer consider- able enthusiasm was shown as re- gards starting e Yale station on the coast, to be taken cherge every sum- mer by Yale men. This plan has worked out successfully in the cases of several other colleges, and it is thought that the interests of Yale men in this work will make a Yale station possible in the Richard Osborn, Yale, 1914, who re- turned to the United States last Wed- nesday from hospital work with the Freach army, is the authority for the statement as to the feeling of the French toward the American Red Cross work. Mr. Osborn returned to this country on the Saxonia, which steam- er passed the Lusitania late Thursday night, and was probably the last ship sighted by the Cunarder before it went down on day noon. Mr. Osborn was a member of the unit put into the field by the gift of Mrs. W. J. Fitz- gerald of New York city. This unit, which consisted of five New York sur- geons and ten nurses from the French hospital, was under the direct super- vision of J. S. Wheelwright, who was manager of the Yale crew in 1895. In regard to the attitude which the French have taken toward the Red Cross work, Mr. Osborn said: One thing that will surprise the people of the United States is the fact that the American Red Cross hospitals are really mnot fully appreciated by the French. The reason is that our equip- ment is so _much more perfect than that of the French that they feel that we are making our patients effeminate. Where our principle is to keep the cases until they are completely healed, the French hospitals discharge them as soon as they are able to carry a gun, This makes the American hos- pitals more popular with the men, ear future.

Of course, however, the work which the Ameri- cans are trying to do is very ly appreciated by the majority of the people, and will be more and more ap- preciated as time goes on. Granville Barker’s presentation of the Iphigenia in Tauris of Huripldes last Saturday in the Yale bowl marks another milestone in the history of the ‘al sociation. This was the first performance in America of one of Mr. Barker's open air produc- tions, and consequently a dramatic event of the first importance. The most optimistic could not foresee that 10,000 people would really make the trip to the bowl to witness a Greek play. The acting was of the unusual- ly high character which is significant of all of Granville Barker's produc- tions. Miss Lillah McCarthy, as Iphi- genia, led the cast of metropolitan actors, her remarkeble voice and the clearness of her diction attributing materially to the success of the per- formance. The costumes, though they were unusual and might even be con- sidered as terrifying, were extremely apprepriate, and have been pro- nounced perfect by many of the cos- tume experts of the country. Professor Smith of Yale composed the musie, which proved an excellent substitute for the Greek compositions, of which very little is known. Mr. Barker stat- ed the greatest difficulty that was necessary to overcome was that of the accoustics, which he considered too good. A great amount of care was taken that the actors should not speak too loud. The simple way in which the lines were written rendered the play very easy to understand. The success of the first attempt at out of door theatricals In the bowl will un- doubtedly encourage other ' similar productions in the years to come. Pictures of Yale buildings are plen- tiful enough. In one form or another, from the postcards to_the old-fashion- ed steel engravings, Yale's architect- ural successes and failures have often been reproduced. However, during the past week there have appeared at & number of the art stores in the city a series of remarkable etchings by Huc Luquien Mr. Luquiens, who has won a reputation both for his etchings and his_portraits, made last summer this series of etchings which have just been published. They include studies of both the old and the new bulldings on the campus and throughout Sheff. Mr. Luquiens has been especially suc- cessful in choosing his points of view. There are also many attractive sugges- tions of campus life, and it is pleas- ant to find a reminiscence of Jim Don- nelly. Thus the pictures have a charm which is not wanting in any mere ren- dering of details of design and struc- ture. The novel character of the art has created no small amount of inter- est and enthusiasm throughout the university. Trenches. Trench, that single-vowel word of French origin, is probably the com- monest English monosyllable in use today. From pictures and descriptions of trenches every civilized country in the world knows just what these war excavations are and how important they are to the fighting armies. In spite of this knowledge of the trench, however, it is not likely that the average man has formed any idea of the gigantic amount of digging that has been done since the war began, says Pearson’s Weekly, The front along which the Germans and Allles face one another from the North Sea to Switzerland is, roughly, 400 miles long. The opposing lines of the Russians and the Austro-Germans are fully 500 miles in length. Along these 900 miles of front, each army has dug itself in. But this does mot mean that there are only 1800 miles of trenches. Each army, it must be remembered, has at least three lines of trenches, one be- hind the other, so that if the first is taken it has others to fall back upon. It is necessary, therefore, to multi- ply 1800 by three, which gives 5400 miles, of a trench long enough to reach from Liverpool right across the Atlan- tic Ocean and the whole of the Amer- ican continent ending at San Francis- co. Then there are the communication trenches through which forces are brought forward in safety to the fire trenches. The length of these is not easy to estimate, but if another two miles are added for each mile of front it will certainly be well on the safe side. This brings the estimate up to 7200 miles, but this has not yet come near the total. In Belgium the Germans constructed at least another 600 miles of trenches ready to oppose the Alljes’ advance, and no doubt another 200 or more on_the Rhine. The Allies have dug about 300 miles of trenches in East Anglia to check a possible raid, and another 100 miles or so along the Suez Canal. * Around Cracow, Przemysl and other great fortresses in the East the ground is honeycombed for miles. Allow an- other 100 miles for these fortifications, and this brings the total to 8500 miles, a distance about equal to the full breadth of Europe and Asie together. The average trench is six feet deep, and five feet wide at the top. In- cluding traverses and dugouts, it may be estimated that two cubic yards of earth have been removed for every yard of trench dug. Take it that a cubic yard of earth weights a ton, and it is seen that over 29,000,000 tons of earth have been shiftted during the past eight months. Many have seen Plymouth, Eng., breakwater, that great artificial island of stone which mekes a harbor of the open roadstead. It is over a mile long. It stands in water over fifty feet deep. Stories of the War contains only about one eighth part as | contains only about one-tighth part as much material as has been removed to make trenches in the present war. The new Dover breakwater used up over 3,500,000 tons of granite and 2,500,000 of concrete. The amount of earth and rock excavated for trenches is nearly five times as great. The average load of a big construc- tion train, such as used in the cutting of the Panama Canal, is 600 tons. Nearly 60,000 such trains would be needed to haul away the earth dug out by soldiers since the war began. In all the world there are only a little more than double that number of lo- comotives. To cut the Paname Canal took thir- teen years and cost over $85,000,000. The water is thirty-one feet deep and the length of the canal about ninety miles, Yet the total bulk of soil re- moved was only about one-half as much again as that shifted by the armies that have dug themselves in since last August. Working of Censership, Some details of the working of the British censorship have been given out in the House of Lords by the govern- ment in response to an inquiry from Lord Bryce, former British Ambas- sador at Washington. “There are three branches of the censorship”, said the government spokesman. “All are under one gen- erah sysiem and closely coordinated. “The cable censorship, which is un- der the control of an officer of the General Staff, deals with, roughly, 30,000 telegrams a day. There are 180 of these cable censors in the Unit- ed Kingdom and between 300 and 400 in other parts of the Empire. “The postal censorship has a staff of about 500, mainly civilians. For ob- vious reasons it is impossible to give a list of persons whose letters are not liable to censorship, but I may men- tion that all letters addressed to either House of Parliament pass uncensored. “The Press Bureau proper is under the control of the Solicitor General, and there are about fifty assistants, naval, military, and civilian. The cersorship is carried on in_accordance with instructions from the War Office, the Admirality, the Foreign Office, and other public departments. “A White Paper will later be issued dealing with the Censorship. “It is contrary to the desire of the Government that anything in the na- ture of criticism either of the Gov- ernment or of the individual members of the Govermment should be sup- pressed.” Razing the Forests. The splend!d forests of the Argonne as well as those of the Alsatian slope of the Vosges Mountains and of the ‘Woevre, are being gradually razed by shell and shrapne] fire.

Against the advantages of preparation, the French had but one resource—a complete unheavel of the entire ground by concentrated artillery fire. If the French succeed in driving the s finally into the open, the priceless forests of the entire region of the ne, from Bar-le-Duc north, will exist no more. LETTERS TO THE EDITOR Adults Who Litter the Streets. Mr. Editor: With all due respect to the City Beautiful committees, may I suggest that they make an appeal to the adult offenders who litter the streets? The school children are taught ten months in the year to care properly for papers, fruit skins and other refuse. Teachers are continually (not merely once in' the year) urging and encourag- ing pupils to keep home and_ school grounds in order. We think the ma- Jority of the children are careful, more So than their elders, on the streets. On thickly populated streets leading to one school the condition of the streets was noted this morning in an effort to see in what maaner school Ldmflflren had contributed to the disor- er. There was disorder, a plenty, but not a sign of a school paper, candy bag or other bit of refuse which seemed to have come from children’s hands. With the exception of one tin can, a corn flakes box and a newspaper, the mis- placed refuse consisted entirely of clgarette boxes or papers, tobacco bags, tinfoil and match boxes. ‘Were the children guilty in that nelghborhood? And ought we to ex- pect and ask them to pick up tobacco containers end other dirty refuse for ‘which they are not responsible? Why shouldn’t the city keep the streets clean? Why should business men—even policemen and other city officials—expect children to be care- ful, when they set such a poor ex- ample? Any day on any street men may be seen throwing torn letters and cigar- ette boxes into the roadway, even within hand’s reach of the refuse cans. It is discouraging to children to find grown-ups so careless. Therefore, won't the committee make a special appeal to the adult population to avold littering the streets, as well as to clean them next week? And is it too much to expect that some day ‘we will have a street cleaning depart- ment so efficacious that every week will be cleanup week with them? CHILDREN'S Norwich, May 20, 1915. Waterpower. Mr. Editor: Will you please call at- tention of those who are contemplat- ing the use of waterpower for any pur- pose to pages 160, 161 and 162 of the Public Acts of 1913 Chapter 201 gives filve persons absolute control of all waterpowers of the state at $10 a. day. In addition ali other expenses are to be paid by the owner of the water- power privilege. Any work done by the owner is prohibited by a fine of $500 and he can be enjoined from the use of the privilege. This Is con- fiscation without compensation. You can, however, use coal or Standard ofl ‘without restriction. This was not so in our grandfathers’ days and it ought to be repealed., I am interested in water and others may be also, EDWARD COMO.
