The question of taxation is one ich’ concerns each and every resi- dent, which is sufficient reason why each and every taxpayer should be present to-participate.in the action on the matters before the city meeting to- night. There are enough matters in the warning if all should be voted favorably to’'Tequire a city tax of 15 mills. The tendencies in the past several vears have been to levy a high tax and according to this year's estimate an 11 mil] tax will be required to meet the necessary expenses for the year unless the citizehs take a different view of the matter. This without the voting of any extras would mean a city tax'the same.as last year when a number of improvements in addi- tion to :department-expenses were ap- proved. In the past. six years the city tax has averaged afraction less than ten and two-thirdstmills and during that time a number of important pub- lic.improvements have been made, but junless economy can be introduced the city ‘must go without anything in the shape:,of added permanent improve- ments \or_it must.increase the tax, It.is mot to be;forgotten that Nor- wich ‘Bas not been giving and is not now providing adequate fire rrotec- tion to' the residents on the hilltops.

After legislation such 2s is_required to bring reforms is se- pred there is great importance at- hed to i enforcement. It requires m convictions and determined ef- fgrts to accomplish desired results, but stich nevertheless appears to have fol- lowed the persistency with which An- thony Cemstock of New York has operated. ! Mr. Comstock’s forthcoming retire- ent from his position as inspector of the post office department, a posi- tion' which he has held for four dec- ades is being received with delight in manysquarters. Such is to be ex- pected. Mr. Comstock has been ever- lastingly’ vigilant in his work and the retirement of such an official is bound to please those who see a relaxation n law enforcement as a result thereof. It is satisfactory to others because they believe that Mr. Comstock has in many cases gone too far in working out his ideas, but in spite of it all it is impossible to overlook the fact that Mr. Comstock has rendered a great service. He did not err on thé side of negligence. He has made a great many enemies sbecause he interfered with schemes for-profit which paid no attention to the cost inflicted upon the public. His work at times has given added publicity which could have Deen obtained in no other way, but admitting his mistales, it can- not sidetrack the fact that he has ren- dered a most valuable service in be- half of public decency.

The American army distributed along the Rio Grande is none too large to handle any trou- ble which might at any time:arise and it wiil have its best effect 'by being kept right where it is until something tangible is decided upon and put into operation in the.republicto the south. It is now in a position of readiness and can be moved at a moment's no- tice. Its influence should not be weak- ened as it would be if it should be removed, Proper protection is still needed along the border and it is going to be required for some little time to come. The border cities cannotsbe left to the uncertainties of Mexican diplo- macy. If the retention of the army there operates with the other in- fluences for the readjustment of the internal strife which has so serious- ly torn Mexico it will be service ren- dered in a needed cause-while it will mean no greater assurance of ‘safety than the border states deserve.

The war is giving the United States an opportunity to demonstrate its goods which it never had before. and the proportion of it that it can hold depends entirely upon the attention and effort which are devoted in that direction. It is a chance which should not be missed to build not only~for the present, but for the future. the European EDITORIAL NOTES, Did you notice the happy smilegof the iceman?

With a faint smile of relief directed toward the pale girl who stood nearest her, she turned away to the coatroom. Two minutes later she was out in the rain walking alone toward the house where she lived. An oriole chirped in the rain upon a bare bough over her head and she glanced up at him with a thrill of eur- prise. “He must have come today,” she thought. “Spring is really here.” She shuddered at the thought of an- other summer spent in the mill with its heat and odor, the chattering, fly~ ing machinery all about her, and the spinning bobbins dazing her eyes with their inexorable swiftness which seem- ed ever to mock ‘Hurry up! You're too slow—slow—slow!” Yes, sho was slow, and she was getting slower. She had reached the wretched house where she lived. The narrow yard was trodden by the feet of Mrs. Mac- Fodden’s children. Behind it frequent trains rushed and roared. Barbara went up the uncarpeted stairs to ner ‘Toom. It was pitable in its bareness and ugliness, vet daintily clean, like the soul of the girl who inhabited it. She closed the window and lit the lit- tle oil stove upon which she cooked her food. It was then she saw the letter which Mrs. MacFodden had tossed into the room. Barbara eved it in She never got letters. This one Dbadly directed in pencil. It looked as if it had travelled the world over. She opened it and read “Dear Niece Barbara: I am writing to tell you that I intended to o west this spring to stay a spell with my married girl.

A robin flew past with a straw in_ her bill Somehow the sight declded Barbara. For the robin seemed to be flying in the direc- tion of Uncle Henry's shanty. On a late May afternoon she came out of the woods into the small clear- ing in the midst of which the shanty stood, and paused to gaze about her. There was the small gray building, with its two windows and door. A small henhouse was near it, and in the fenced-in enclosure a dozen hens were busy. Behind the shanty rose a ridge covered with trees, below it a pond gleamed. Beyond the pond was a large white farmhouse in the midst of beautiful acres. “In the twilight, as she sat on her doorstep watching the water and lis- tening to the birds, an old woman emerged from the woods and ap- proached along the litfle path—a thin old woman, with a brown skin and cautious dark eyes.

With nelther a shade tree commis- slon nor a tree warden, a city cannot hope to maintain the beauty and com- fort afforded by the trees it possesses, to say nothing of the importance of planting new ones. This is a feature of city planning that is being sadly neglected in Bridgeport.—Bridgeport Standard. : There is some @oubt in Hartford's case, as in ours, of the power to reg- ulate the jitney except as under the hack ordinance. Overloading being provided against, and the jitney driv ers being bropght under the general coutrol of the police, with revocable licenses, little remains to be done with the jitneys at the present except to regulate overspeeding, and probably the costs of operation and tire re- placement on cars that driven too fast will accomplish this result event- ually. The weakness here is in the general automobile law, which now that an entirely mew class of auto drivers has appeared, certainly leaves too much to the discretion of the driver. —Waterbury Republican. The fee system is to end in the of- fice of the Hartford town clerk. An amendment to the charter passed by the legislature, at its last session, makes the change possible. It has bee nsurprising to many why Hartford should have continued this antiquated system so long. The idea of the town clerk receiving a salary, and getting all the fees besides, was a rldiculous business method. The clerk, to a large extent, paid his assistants out of his income, and enemies of the change will now argue that it will cost more to run_ the office on the new plan. This is mnonsense. The town clerk was surely not conducting the office at a personal sacrifice, and the city of Hartford should be able to get the work done as _economically as the clerk did personally. If the clerk works as faithfully under salary, as he d@id when he was pocketing the fees, no additional clerks to draw sal- aries need be appointed. The fee sys- tem may be pardonable in emall towns, but in large places it should not be tolerated—New Britain Her- ald. Stories of the War , Reuniting Dispersed Kindred. The reuniting of dispersed kindred is the work of a committee of French Women who have done notable work. Two hundred of them, including some English and American girls, are work- ing industriously at the collection of information to this end. They not only do the work but they have thus far defrayed the expense. More than ten thousand lost relatives have been found by them and they are estab- lishing communication between sepa- rated relatives at the rate of more than 150 per day. Lists of “unfound relatives” are sent regularly to Switzerland, England and Holland in exchange for similar infor- mation received from there, resulting often in gratifying results, particularly concerning Belgian refugees. A competent archivist from the na- tional bureau of archivies cooperates with the women in the perfection of their card system from which they can instantly locate the whereabouts of anyone of four hundred thousand refugees. The committee occupies two floors of a large building on the Avenue de I'Opera. An artilleryman from Maubeuge, who escaped capture and joined the French troops further south, went through the summer and winter cam- paigns without a word of news from Kkith or kin. He was recently wounded in the Arfionne. Arriving in Paris on convalescent leave he applied to the “Office des Recherches pour les Fam- illes Dispersees”.

An acount of the fighting in the vicinity of Notre Dame de Lorette, as written down by a German officer, Captain Sievert, in his notebook, is given out in the recital of the “eye- witness at the front.” The purpose is to serve as a comparison with the French official statements concerning combats in this vicinity. Captain Sievert, the author, was killed. His body was one of 4,000 found on the slopes of Rette, and his note- book covers the fighting from May 10, the day after the French attack, up to May 20, the day the captain wee killed. “We absolutely need a supply of hand grenades,” is an entry in the diary under date of May 11. The num- Der ‘which Captain Sievert received was insufficient, and he could not carry out his attack. Furthermore, the lack of projectiles prevented all chance of success. Later there was more trouble for the captain. Orders badly given and con- fushion of sectors made necessary marches and counter-marches under French artillery fire. “The way from Souchez to Ablain is impracticable,” the captain wrote, “exposing us to in- cessant artillery fire. Ablain, like Souchez, is nothing but a heap of ruins. Our guide is unable to lead us further, and wet with sweat we grope along. The situation is desperate. Our men decamp at each shell which falls, and it is necessary to threaten them with court-martial.” Reinforcements failed to arrive, fur- ther difficulties arose, and Captain Sievert wrote that the situation was hopeless. The last page of his diwry was written at 10 p. m., of May 20. In it the captain said: “The bombardment today completely destroyed what re- mained of our trenches. The men have been without support for three days. It ls impossible to hold this position with such a feeble force. I ask that an officer be sent here to report on (3 situation. I ask again that the Fourtn Company of the 1llth Regiment be placed at my disposition. The artillery fire of the enemy is frightful, especially that of the heavy guns.
