Next Monday Norwich holds its an- nual city election. It is an oceasion of much importance despite the fact that it is the year when the mayoralty Is not involved. There is reason for giving consideration to the conduct of city affairs and the placing of the best men in office whenever that opportu- nity presents itself. It is on election day that the individual has the chance 0 express his mind, to say who he wishes to represent his interests in municipal government and thereby in- dicate how he wishes it to be done. The voters of Norwich should there- fore resolve to go to the polls in re- tponse to the duty which devolves upon them, It is not the stay-at-home who con- tributes the most to his city. It is not the voter who neglects his responsi- bility who contributes anything to a business administration of a city and it is not the fellow who refuses to par- ticipate who is justified in sitting back and criticising when city matters do )t o to suit him or are not handled n efficient and satisfactory man- ner. There has been placed upon the 7 iblican ticket this year men who are well known. They are men of ac- knowledged ability, who have been se- lected because they command the con- ence of the citizens. They stand for sound principles in the conduct of the city's business and that is the big corporation in which everyone is di- rectly interested. Norwich needs men at the head of its affairs who will give it conscientious service, who will run it economically with the community before the individual and who ot results, the men who compose it, if ipporters of good government get to the polls there can be no ques- on to the election of the repub- an ticket next Monday. Desirable tainments are not secured, however, out effort. placed will g From th WHO WILL GET THE AID? Just as long as the revolutionary spirit prevails in Mexico and that re- public is kept in an unsettled state through war, it must be expected that maintenance must be provided for the fighters. In order to live and fight they must eat and they are going to get sustenance somehow, even if those going to get this assistance? This is an important matter which must be determined before this country at- tempts to pour food into that country. GERMANY’'S GUARANTEE. Even though Germany had shut its teeth and said nothing about it, it is impossible for it to cover up the fact that it is much wrought up over the action of Italy "in entering the war. This was indicated well in advance of Italy’s decision by the changing of its ambassador to Rome and the send- ing of Princé Von Buelow to lend his influence and diplomacy to the defeat of any such possibility. Germany, however, has not remain- ed silent upon this point. It has not swallowed the bitter pill and estab- lished flashboards tq hold in check its wrath, It has on the contrary opened its floodgates and poured forth its opinion in no unmistakable terms, and with Chancellor von Bethmann-Hol- weg as the spokesman before the reichstag has denounced its former ally by declaring that “Italian states- men have no right to measure trust- worthiness in other nations by the same measure as their own loyalty to the treaty” and that “Germany, by her word, guaranteed that the con- cessions to Italy would be carried ou there was no occasion fof distrust.” Ordinarily such might be looked upon as a proper attitude for Germany to take. It might be safe to view it as Germany has, but In view of what has transpired in the past ten months, there appears to be no great cause for surprise that Italy has discounted the worth of Germany’s guarantee and judged it upon the same basis as others must when it made a “scrap of paper” of its neutrality treaty with Belgium and declared that necessity came before law. It was at that time that Germany laid the foundation for distrust by others and Italy has not considered it advisable to ignore it or the disregard Germany has main- tained for international law. Germany has suffered by its own acts and if it is being misjudged no one is to blame but itself. WEAK LEGISLATION. The nation and the various states have suffered more from half-baked legislation in a great many instances than they have from the lack of laws. This is especially brought to view at the present time by the situation which surrounds the five per cent. rebate clause which was placed in the last tariff bill. It was passed by the house as a straight reduction of that amount for foods brought into this country in American vessels, The senate knowing this conflicted with existing treaties changed it so that there should be no discrimination against favored nations. Because of the trouble which was anticipated through putting such a rebate into effect no such rebate was allowed and full customs have been collected. The matter was taken to the courts for interpretation with the result that, regardless of American ships carrying the cargoes, all coun- tries must be treated alike where treaties would he violated if there was any discrimination. Unless this decision is reversed by the higher court, which seems highly improbable, this country has in its posssion $18,- 000,000 which it must return to those from whom it was collected inasmuch as the Underwood law declares that the five per cent. should be allowed, whereas it has not been. It is a case of enacting a law with- out knowing the consequences. It is an instance where an improper amount of thought was given to what was be- ing made a law. It is not believed that any such rebate was intended as the court holds must be paid, but that is what is called for by the work of congress. The revision of the tariff without the rebate was an unwarrant- ed slashing and to have to rebate $18,000,000 more from an empty treas- ury emphasizes anew the effects of weak law-making. EDITORIAL NOTES. Everyone will be satisfied if June decides to simply sustain its reputa- tion, The man on the corner says: perience teaches that a secret is some- thing worth telling. Davy Jones’ merchant marine seems ‘o be the only one to be getting any valuable additions these days. The last congress may not have used a torpedo, but it managed to put a hole in the U. S. treasury all right. ‘With Memorial day gone there is a clear track now for the graduation day orations and the baccalaureate sermons. Germany declares that the attack on the Gulflight was a mistake. The fact is that its whole submarine policy is a mistake. ‘With Villa considering the purchase of machinery for the manufacture of shoes no indication is given of a quick end to the war. It isn't too early to make an en- gagement with yourself to be at the polls next Monday to vote for busi- nesslike city government. It is a gratifying disclosure which the Pan-American conference makes when it shows no disposition to enter into the practice of changing the map, It didn’t take long to secure a new president for Portugal, but it is to be hoped that he will accomplish more who are not engaged in the struggle have to go without. Nothing in the eves of the revolutionists comes be- fore the armies, Thus it is easy to understand that conditions are in a sorry state in that country and so long as the war con- tinues they are bound to grow worse. No one can sit idly by and know that 2umanity s suffering or starving as the result of the practices of the fight- Ing factions and it is with its custom- ary alertness to extend relief that the ‘ppeal sent out by the Red Cross in behalf of aid for the starving people of Mexico is made. It is what is being done for the Belgians, for the devas- :ated sections of Poland and for those not involved in military operations imong the other countries engaged in war who are in need of assistance. If, however, the claim is made now that the Mexican soldiers are the cause >f the distressing conditions in the republic to the south, what can be ex- sected will happen to supplies which nay be sent from this country for ‘heir relief? If the army is appro- sriating everything to its use, is it tolng to mean better support for the ighters and a prolongation of the war, “~iq it going to mean that thase who than the last half dozen selected in Mexico. ‘Whenever the spirit moves there is nothing to interfere with enlistment in the clean-up movement.

Indeed, he was so pleased with the sight of his wardrobe bestowed in such orderly fashion that he really hated to tear himself away from his new quarters to go to business. The moment he returned home late in the afternoon he opened his closet door to assure himself that it was as luxurious as he had thought, and he was sur- prised to see a long fur cloak hang- ing in the particular place where he had just lift his winter overcoat. He wes just in the act of taking the in- terloper down indignantly when his sister knocked at his door. “I just wished to tell you, John, that as you have so much room in your closet, I thought you wouldn’t mind if I hung my fur coat there tempor- arily. Tll be sending it to storage for the summer in a few days.” “Oh, all right, Claribel.” He hastily restored it to the hook. “Say, isn't this a bully place for my duds?” “Yes, indeed, all you need is some clothes. Your outfit looks a little in- adequate.” “Nonsense, - I've got everything I need, and it’s certainly a satisfaction to have a decent place to keep things. Tve often thought I'd rather have a place to put things than things to put.” The next night when John went into his closet to get his evening clothes he | was startled by the sight of a ghost- like figure hanging beside his swallow- tail, which was now suspended from the same hook where his frock coat hung. He pulled aside the shrouding white cover and beheld what looked to him at first like a shapeless tangle of chiffon, lace and roses, but which in a moment he recognized as one of his sister’s dancing frocks. “Well, of all the unmitigated nerve,” he ejaculated. He moved it into the corner of the closet, leaving vacant the space originaily allotted to his dress coat. A few days later he was astonished to find a strange looking pair of trous- ers dangling from his trouser rack. “Great Scott, what are these? Of all BULLETIN, WEDNESDAY, JUNE 2, POOR HELPLESS MAN the weird pantaloons 1 ever saw these are the most grotesque,” he remarked, as he took them down and surveyed them. “Riding breeches, I supposs, but my word—hey, there, that you, Claribel?” he called, hearing a light step by his door. “Did my tailor send me these pants? They have come to the wrong house. I couldn’t get ome leg in them.” “Why, John, don't be such a silly! Don’'t you see, they’re—why they’re part of my riding habit. That's all. T haven’t a rack like yours in my closet, and just brought them in here so that they’ll keep in shape. Put them back, please, where you found them!™ John reinstated them in their former poeition and observed while he did so that a long tafled coat of the same ma- terial had been added to the contents of his closet. “That's the top part of the riding sult, I syppose,” he said. “Yes, and I don’t want it to get all wrinkled up in my closet. You needn't whistle in that provoking way! You have loads of room here if you would only systematize things more.” “You have the real system,” Te- marked John, but Claribel was too far down the hall to answer. Sunday morning while his sister was at church, John took down two eve- ning dresses, one fur cloak, one motor wrap, one golf skirt, one riding suit, one muslin frock, one rain coat, one mackinaw jacket and one crepe negli- gee and laid them, as he thought care- fully, on his sister's bed. Then he painstekingly rearranged his own wardrobe, which had been graudally converging toward the narrow end of his closet. When he again saw his garments neatly disposed, each hang- ing separate and alone in plenty of space, he sighed with satisfaction and went out for a walk before dinner. It was not until after that meal that he went to his room. But when he did he was astonished to see that feminine raiment had once more taken posses- slon of his closet. He called his sis- ter sternly. “Now, look here, Claribel, I think—" “Tll tell you what I think, John Kay,” she quickly interrupted, “I think you are perfectly horrid to heap all my nicest things cn my bed the way vou did in a regular mess. Of course I put them all back, and if you aren’t nicer I won't let you Keep any of your things in that closet at aelll Youwll just have to put them in the hall closet with the linen.” “Well, I like that!” breathed John, but his sister had marched away with dignity. “Talk about an ouster! Next thing she'll be dispossessing me."— Chicago News. Stories of German School for Wounded. The first school in Germany for wounded soldiers who must, because of the nature of their injuries, change their trade or occupation, has been opened in Dusseldorf, with a large at- tendance. In the class rooms of a big industrial school formerly occupied by boys and girls there now sit hundreds of sol- diers, painstakingly learning to write with their left hand because their right has been shot off, or mastering the intricacies of bookkeeping or some similar. occupation at which they may hereafter earn their living. The project is that of the city of Dusseldorf, and has the backing of practically every business man in the city. The cooperation of the latter is of vital importance because places must be found for the soldiers as soon as they have become proficient in their new work. The work has three distinct phases, aimed to help three separate classes of wounded. In the first division come those who if possible are to return to the field, but need engrossing occupa- tion during the term of their convales- cence. For them a course of study ranging from four to six weeks has been instituted. Into a second division fall those who are wounded in such a way that they cannot go back to the identical work which they did in peace times, but who if possible are to learn some other branch of their own trade. Thus for instance a former mechanic accus- tomed to a given type of work can be taught the office routine of his trade and can be fitted to step into the counting room. Into the third class of soldiers fall those who must change absolutely their trade and kind of work.

There is a e shop at which a variety of trades can he taught to me ho are capable of working at a machine with their hands but cannot use their legs to any greal extent. A mechanical drawing de- partment, a printing shop, a course in architecture for former members of the building trades who now must learn the theoretical side of their trades, an electrical laboratory, and courses in! languages for men who have ambition to become salesmen after the war have also been provided. Twice a week a prominent Dussel- dorf economist delivers lectures on in- dustrial and economic subjects to students who somewhat laboriously but very intently follow him and com- pete with each other much as gram- mar s ol children might in answer- ing the somewhat simple and obvious questions which he interjects in his address. Not the least important side of the big school is its employment bureau, which works in conjunction with the big manufacturing plants of the city. Scores of soldiers unfit for further service in the field have already been placed in both new and old occupa- tions about Dusseldorf. The school is absolutely free, as are also the board and maintenance of the soldiers. ‘The length of the courses varies, but on the whole is shorter than might be anticipated. Over 40 men were equip- ped between February 1 and Easter, for various branches of the mental trade, and now are in special courses which they will soon complete. Too Proud To Surrender. The recital of occurrences at the front written by the British “eye wit- ness” under date of May 25, and given out in London is devoted largely to the telling of minor incidents. The account deals with comparative- ly small actions m various parts of Flanders, and the writer says the Ger- man losses lately have been very heavy. “A building in La Bassee used by the Germans as a bathing establishment ‘was hit recently by one of our howitzcr shells while it was full of German of- ficers.” the eve-witness relates. “Be- tween twenty and thirty of them were killed or wounded. “Not far from Ypres our anti-air craft guns brought down a hostile aeroplane, which fell headlong on a paraparet of the German trenches within sight of the French lines. Both the pilot and the observer must have been instantly killed. The French, noting that the falling machine was exciting considerable interest among the occupants of the enemy’s works, trained machine guns on the spot and waited until a sufficient number of Germans had_collected, then they op- ened fire on them.” Continuing, the eye-witness relates how a detachment of Germans, at- tempting to make use of their deadly gas at Ypres, were themselves suffo- cated by this gas after a French shell had burst the cylinder containing it. Notable among the recent German s, the eye-witness asserts, were sustained by the Fifty-Seventh an Infantry in the action of May . This organization lost 2400 out of 3000 men. The Germaans are still extracting the utmost from the country they occupy, the recorder says. Mention is made of ome incident in connection with the recent sporadic bombardment of Lens by the Allies. “Six shells fell on the Lens Station,” the writer says, “and the town was fined $750 for each pro- jectile, or a total of $4,500, part of which was distributed among the sol- diers. The ground for the fine was the allegation that some of the inhab- itants must have ben in communication with the enemies of Germany; hence the bombardment. “That some of the enemy at least are not enjoying themselves in Fland- ers is shown by the following message flung into the British trenches: “We are too few to attack and too many to reire, and too proud to sur- render, but we all want to go home.” few days ago a kite was flown over our lines. On it wgs written: ‘Please send this back whén the wind is favorable. Wouldn’t you like to come over here? As you have no more ships left, won’t you give up soon? We do not like it any longer.’ “Similar overtures have been made at _different points on our lines.” The only considerable ad the British forces that the E ness chronicles was on the e May 20, when they seized points to the northeast of the Festubert-La Quingue road, gaining ground a qu ter of a mile deep and a half a mile wide. The German attacks to retake this terrain broke down under very heavy loss. ing of OTHER VIEW POINTS If you want to find out how much of a naturalist you are, just try mak- ing a list of the names of the various birds vou see from your sitting room window any fair day, or on a walk through the residential section of your own town.

For Bridgeport the last week, like those that have preceded it, has been marked by continued manufacturing activity. The effect of unseasonable weather has been felt in several lines of trade.

Grand Rapids, like Bridgeport, will undoubtedly choose the straight commission plan, leaving the commission-manager plan for later consideration.—Bridgeport Telegram. THE WAR PRIMER By National Geographic Soclety Island of Tenedos—Among the ad- vanced camps of foremost importance Is the allied French and English base on the small island of Tenedos, which lies just before the AEgean mouth of the Dardanelles. The following des- cription of this point, whence the great military and naval attempt upon the fortified strait is being made, is given in today’s war primer of the National Geographic Society: “The island of Tenedos commands the approach to the Dardanelles, lying but eight miles south-southwest from the mouth of the Strait and about five miles from the coast of Asia Minor. Removed from the fleld of the guns of the Dardanelles forts, within short steaming distance of the waterway under attack and within comfortable reach of the mainland, readily supplied with provisions from the neighboring islands and mainland ports of Greece, surrounded by deep water, and having an ideal anchorage for battleships, Tenedos admirably fulfills the require- ments of an advanced base. For months now this little island has been abuzz with activities incident upon one of the most stupendous undertakings of the Allies. “Tenedos, despite its insignificant size, commerce, population count, and productivity, has been visited by many an imposing hostile fleet and army, brought thither by its strategic value as a forepost on the world’s most dis- puted waterway. Aeoliens originally settled here, and Persia, Athens, Rome, Byzantium, Venice, Genoa, Ottoman Constantinople and, now, France and Great Britain have successively brought it under their control. The island hag been an Ottoman possession since 1323, being included under the administration of the archipelelago ret. neven, rocky, almost mountainous in parts, there are yet within the six- teen square miles of the island’s area some very fertile soils. There is some fruitful garden land and rich pastur- age, but the most important is wine, of which some 5,000,000 gallons are ex- ported each year. Tenedos supports a population of about 4,000, only one- third of whom are Mohammedans. The only town, of the same name as the island, is enclosed by roughened walls, and sheiters, among other remains from times long past, great store- houses erected by Justihian, store- hou. mayhap, that now are doing se: ce as modern arsenals.” Ancona, the seaport bombarded by the Austrians during their first raid upon the italian co: forms the sub- ject of the National Geographic So- ciety’s war primer, which reads: _“After Venice the most important city along the Italian coast of the Ad- riatic Sea is Ancona, which was visit- ed by the Austrian fleet immediately following Italy’s declaration of war. It is also a port capable of strong de- fense, its forts being thoroughly mod- ern and well-placed on the semiheights that surround the city. Its harbor, the finest on the southwestern coast of the Adriatic, and one of the best possessed by Italy, has been the object of costly improvements from the recian settlement down to the present day. The harbor basin is an oval about half a mile in diameter. “Venice lies 138 miles away to the northwestward, by direct water route, while Rome lies 2 miles to the south- west. The town is contained between two extremities of a rocky promontory, Monte Astagno to the south and Monte Guasco to the north. On these heights are formidable harbor defenses. The city, itself, is the he- .quarters for the Italian 7th army corps. Railways con- nect the port with Brindisi and all the seaside cities to the south. It also has rail connection on trunkiines with | Rome and with Bologna. While the number of vessels annually visiting the harbor has materially decreased, the tonnage has increased somewhat. Sta- tistics for a recent year show that An- cona was a port of call for 1,400 ves- sels, with a total tonnage of 961,612. During the eighties of the last cen- tury, between 2,000 and 2,500 ships vis- ited this port each year. _“Ancona is one of Italy’s ancient.ci- ties, and, despite its commercial pros- perity, it makes its antiquity painfully evident by an unkempt, overworn ap- pearance, its streets being dirty and its houses, for the most part dingy. Refugees from Syracuse founded the city about 390 B. C.-and gave to it the name by which it is known today. Greek merchants early established a purple factory here, and started the place upon its centuries of brisk trad- ing intercourse.

With the landing on the Gallipoli peninsula_of an allied army the re- flective Turk is probably thinking with regret of the great days of the Turkish empire of the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries. It is a curlous fact that the greatness of that empire and the decay of the present is due to the same cause—the control of its mil- itary machine by the alien races. Just as the German today is leading the Turk to ruin, the stranger of other days led him to glory. During the great age no Turk was permitted to direct armies or govern. Future rulers were taken as boys from Christian families in Europe, made slaves, and taught the art of government with Teutonic thoroughness. Sons of these lordly slaves were not permitted to n- herit the functions or their fathers. Fresh slaves were bought.
