Although much has been done in the way of surrounding steamships with greater safety every succeeding accident indicates that there remains Eenty of opportunity for efforts and easures which will overcome col- Jisions during fogs. Travel during fog Is filled with much danger and it is yuite evident that existing regulations re not sufficient to afford the protec- tion which is needed for passenger rarrying vessels, The collision of the steamer Bunker Hill and the yacht Vanadis in Long Ysland sound shows a repetition, as is to be inferred from the report, of a gimilar though more serious accident off the Virginia capes when an Old Dominion liner was sent to the bot- tom. In both instances it appears that the craft which suffered most stopped When it heard the signals of the other vessel and took such precautionary methods as would pretect the ship. It was just the opposite to what was done aboard the &hip which did the ramming and in those varying actions are represented the two lines of thought concerning vessels in a fog. In one instance caution and care is used when danger is known to be near while in the other it is believed that by slamming ahead the danger will be passed the quicker. The former rea- Boning appears to be on a safe and pane basis, while the latter only in- Bures greater damage when vessels Retually do come together: Thus while it is generally acknowl- edged that fog always increases the risk, it would appear to be the part of wisdom that one, and only one policy be pursued by navigators, if it is im- possible to hold up transportation by Water while the fog obscures the path ind threatens life and property. In- vestigation is not only likely to, but should follow this collision in the jound, and from it should result a better understanding among the nav- lgators. Humanity demands it. 1905, average . 9003000000s0as00s0esss00ess0n GERMAN OPINION. All German opinion cannot be ex ected to be united in regard to the ourse which Germany should pursue yelative to the demands which have been made upon it by this country through the notes which have been issued by this government, but it is to be mnoted from the expressions which are being made in the German press that the notes are being looked upon with much favor. Tt is highly significant when the editor of the Berlin Tageblatt urges glving German diplomacy adequate au- thority and prestige at home to stand firm against “jingo and whip-the- world enthusiasts.” It is quite evident that this observer of conditions real- izes that Germany is mot justified in entagonizing the world, that it has responsibilities which should be shoul- dered and that it should respect the rights of neutrals and the rights of humanity which it has sworn to up- hold and protect. It is in other words an appeal to the country to adopt a sane course for its actions. It takes into considera- tion the very important fact that Ger- many is fast aligning against itself nations which not only are its friends, but which desire to remain so. The lack of wisdom in such a course is apparent. It is chauvanistic and not in accord with the principles which should actuate the country. No mil- . itary advantage is to be gained by that country in the pursuit of a pol- Jey . dfrectly opposite to that which 1t bas promised to follow. By exceeding Its rights it cannot expect that others will sacrifice‘those to which they- are pntitled ‘and which it had previously 2greed to malntain. There is no jus- Lice in Insisting on international law When their interests are at stake arsl defying it when their opportunity for displaying their honor comes. It is a lme for Germany to be consistent with itself and this it would appear was the purpose back of the declara- Yion of the German editor. LOOK AFTER DUMB PETS. The season of the year is fast ap-’ proaching when a large number of the people will be leaving for their sum- mer homes and there will be instances where families will go away for vaca- tions varying in length from a week to a month. In such instances due Quought:is given-to the familycjewels, proper consideration is given to clos- ing up of the house and where a horse is owned arrangements are made for its care during the absence. ‘These steps are taken because there is -value concerned. There will bde others who will put a little humane thought with it and see that all the dumb animals that are owned are eith- er taken with them or left under the protective care of neighbors, but there will be, as is always the case, a good- sized army of people who will pay lit- tle respect to the sufferings of the dumb beast and especially the cats when it comes time for departure. Out of pity and to prevent day as well as night being made hideous by the abandoned animals nelghbors will in many cases assume the task of feed- ing them, but there are others which will get mighty small consideration. They will be left to shift for them- selves and still be expected to be on the doorstep to greet the family when it returns, It is a condition which prevails ev- ery vacation season and one which & little forethought should avoid. It is no different than the practice fol- lowed by many when they move to a new locality, but there is nothing to commend it and every reason for con- demning it. The cat and dog should either be properly provided for or else they should be humanely destroyed. The Connecticut Humane society has instituted a valuable campaign along this very line and it is highly com- mendable and it can be fully appre- clated by anyone who does not openly espouse the cause of cruelty when it emphasizes the fact that “humane treatment of the family cat or dog is a good lesson fo all members of the household.” BREAKING PAROLE. If members of the crew of the Prinz Eitel have broken their parole, or the word of their commanding officer and returned to Germany, their action is likely to cause no serious trouble be- tween the nations, but rather will it mean additional trouble for themselves when they are located. It is even pos- sible that it will react upon the re- mainder of the crew who have been faithful to thelr word by causing_a stricter parole. The internment of the ship and its crew meant that they were to remain in this country until the end of the war. There have been no harsh re- strictions placed upon them because they were honor bound and there was no reason to believe that they would violate the- confidence placed in them. On the face of it, if it is found that the men have actually returned home it will disclose a case of rank imposi- tion which no country can allow to go unnoticed, but there is no evidence as vet to support any belief to the effect that their government had any part in it or would for a minute sanction it. On the contrary, there have been in- stances where interned men who had escaped and gotten back to their na- tive land were made to return and live up to thelr parole. This is so even in the present war and so far there is no reason to think that this will not be done if, as indicated now, these men have actnally succeeded in getting out of this country and into their own. There is a duty imposed upon Germany as well as the United States to locate them and get them back If they are within its territory. EDITORIAL NOTES. There appears to be no unseemly rush to create a crowd of those Bryan- Americans. The time has not arrived when pas- sengers can be assured that ships will not collide in the fog. Even the “deserving democrats” are coming to the realization that there is an end to all good things. The man on the corner says: Old R. E. Morse is a powerful preacher, but too many of his converts backslide, Italy has stopped all exportation of cheese during the war. It looks like preparations to offset the gas clouds. The road to peace In Mexico has been opened for a long time, but there are still well founded fears of an am- bush. polr The city of Sprinzfleld has cancelled the invitation extended to W. J. Bryan to make the Fourth of July address. Next! It must make Mr. Bryan green with envy to think that he did not sign the note now that Germany has begun to praise it. If this was the first time there might be good cause to worry, but Mr. Bryan has talked before. The country has his measure. How fortunate, remark soveral, that Mr. Bryan is not president, but that ‘was a matter which the people regu- lated several years ago. In the street car strike at Chicago the suffering public gets no more con- sideration than pedestrians do in the paths of some auto drivers. Why did Bryan resign? is a nat- ural question which many are ask- ing. So far, however, it remains one of the great mysteries of the twentieth century, Those nurses who went to Furope to care for the injured and found too much drudgery can probably be sat- isfied at home just as soon as the football season open: —_— The Austrians are finding that while it appears to be easy to drive the Rus- sian bear cut of the side yard, it is a different. thing when it comes to pur- suing-him into his own territory, Hot weather never fails to bring its vountless number and endless varlety of annoying little flies, to which screens -offer no greater barrier than chicken - wire would to the ordinary kind. The young man who jumped off a New Yorlk bridge and declared it was great fun, probably never gave a thought to the jolly time the soldlers in are having over the trenches. Furopean The announcement which is now made that the Minnesota, the largest American vessel In the Pacific, is to be changed to a foreign registry be- cause of the prohibitory requirements of the new seamen’s law indicates afresh the serious handlcap which this piece of legislation is causing to the movement for building up a merchant marine. It is causing destruction where-it.should-be-lending -assistance. It was a crisp October evening. Willard Blake walked briskly with firm, elastic step. He whistled and his heart was glad. He was hasten- ing to be with Florence. Willard stopped whistling as he neared the house. He was earlier than was his wont and would surprise her. Sud- denly he started. Surely some one was in the garden. There was the sound of a footstep and muffled voices a woman’s and a man's Florence! He was about to spring forward and make himself known when he saw the man take Florence in his arms and press a kiss upon her lips, then dart away into the shadow of the trees. Willard for a moment stood trans- fixed—stunned—then he darted for- ward and made one dash into the shrubbery after the man. But quick as he was Florence was quicker. She caught hold of him as he rushed past her and held him back with a strength almost equal to his o1 “No, you shall not!” she shrieked. “You shall not follow!” “Florence, what does this mean? who is_this man?” he demanded. “I will not tell you,” she flung_the words_at him. “Oh! believe me, Wil- lard—I cannot tell you.” He flung her off. “Listen!” . she commanded, must! you shall!—Trust me, Willard.” “I ask you to explain. “I cannot explain,” she with bloodless lips. “You cannot!” he laughed—"“You al- low a man ‘to kiss you in the shadow and you ‘cannot ex- answered wrenched himself away from her and darted into the shrub- bery. Florence had deceived him—he would never see her again—but he would find this man who had stelen her from him—He had mno idea but he should find him. He should know him by that one fearful glimpse he had of him. In the great city across the water Willard buried himself in business, trying to forget. Sometimes he passed an evening in the dance hall— sometimes he was in the bowling sa- loon till the small hours of the morn- ing. One night Willard wandered down to part of the city he had never isited before. There was a building brilliantly lighted, with gilded doors and music. Throngs entered this place. Men were sitting about a table playing. Their faces were intense and eager. Suddenly "Willard became aware t some one was watching him, a man in plain working clothes with shaggy beard and deep-set, penetrat- ing eves. He could not have been more than thirty years old but there were deep lines across his face as though he had passed through hard, bitter experiences. He was angry ‘but as he looked more closely into his face it seemed to him that his look was not evil. Perhaps he was alone and in trouble like himself. So he walked boldly up and accosted stranger. “You are a fellow country-man, I THE WAR PRIMER By National Geographic Soclety Luebeck, situated beyond the dan- gers of blockade on the broken south- western shore of the narrow-mouthed Baltic Sea, has become, due to the advantages of its position since the outbreak of the European war, the foremost port of the German Empire in foreign, water-borne trade. The National Geographic Society describes this port, whose fortunes have risen ang fallen through its centuries of in- ternational business relations, as fol- lows: “Luebeck is the smallest of the free cities of Germany, but richer in rem- iniscences of former greatness than either of the other two. Hamburg, Bremen and Luebeck joined the mod- ern German Empire as free and inde- pendent Hanseatic cities. Hamburg and Bremen have developed into great stone-and-mortar hives of present-day business; have multiplied their wealth at a tremendous rate, and have, more and more, grown to the international type of purely- business cities. Lue- beck, on the other hand, while it has maintained an importance as a_busy place of commerce, is medieval, ro- mantic, a breath from the past. “Lying 10 miles from the Baltic Sea, on the River Trave, the channel of which has been so improved that boats of 16 foot draft are able to tie up at the city’s docks, Luebeck has beem e nerve cemter of North German trade with Denmark, the Scandinavian lands, and with Russia. The city has been made into an island by its har- bor improvements, the Trave flowing around its western border and a wide canal around it on the east. The wharf districts are upon the north- eastern and northwestern sides of the town. This city enjoys a location as fav- orable as that of Bremen or Hamburg for the distribution of its wares over Germany. It is reached by rail in two and one-half hours from Bremen, and is ebout as conveniently near to Berlin. Before the war, the port was connected with Copenhagen, Stock- holm, Dantsic and Petrograd by regu- lar steamer services. Its chief arti- cles of commerce were, in pre-war days, wines, especially clarets, tim- ber, tar, and northern consigments of German manufactures. “Once a city of considerable renown throughout the trading world, the bus- iness of Luebeck dwindled, and the port cities more favorably situated upon the open ocean lanes of com- merce gradually absorbed much of the business that formerly had taken its course through the northern port. The trade of the city began a fresh period of growth with the founding of the German Empire, and it has remained one of the most important commercial cities on the Baltic. “The city was founded by Count Adolph II of Holstein in 1143, near the site of an earlier town. It was de- clared a free town of the empire in 1226, and in 1227, made its appearance as a military power, when, in union with the Holsteinere, its citizen sol- dierly badly defeated the Danes at Bornhoeved, freeing their northern commerce from the Danish yoke. The inspiration of this feat at arms led the rapidly rising municipality to develop a strong naval power, and the enter- prise of its diplomacy led to the foun- dation of the Hamseatic League, an alliance of the great commercial towns of North Germany, first as a protec- tion for their peaceful commerces, and, then, as a sort of commercial and trading trust. The towms that joined Luebeck in founding the League were Rostock, Wismar, Greifswald, Starls- und and Hambur. This League, dis- solved and re-established, became all- powerful about a century and a half hfifr, embracing more than eighty rich citles. “For a time, Luebeck held an un- disputed - precedence over the other members-of the League. During those days of its prosperity, it is eaid to have had a population about the same as it has today, between 80,000 and 90,000. Luebeck, as head of the Han- seatic League, held the supremacy of the Baltic, which supremacy its peo- ple are endeavoring to win back today under the stimulus which the war.-has givenito o erce.” observe, we ought to be acquainted.” “Ah!” returned the other: “You are discerning. Few recognize me as an American. Indeed, I have lived In Paris so many years that I seem to myself more of a Frenchman than an American.” “Then Paris has long been your home?” “Yes, for the past ten years—. But you have recently come?” “Yes, but Paris is to be my home in the future. I shall never return to America.” “Ah!” mused the other sadly, “When a man says that I know there is some reason.” “There is,” replied Willard shortly. “Do you play this game?” “Will you teach me the game?” ?Sk:d Willard, “I have a mind to try ucl “No, I will not teach you,” answered the other almost savegely. 2 “;Iou are disobliging,” retorted Wil- ard. ‘Willard turned to the table. He won, won largely. He was flushed and excited. He played again, and again won. The strange man in the corner watched but Willard had forgotten him. He was intent on his game. Hour after hour passed. Then sud- denly his luck turned. He lost all he had won. His last cent was gone, his watch, his all. There was nothing but the company’s money. Should he risk that? He must or all would be lost. He would surely win this time. At that moment a hand grasped his arm and there stood before him the man he had so lately repulsed. “This will pay your debt,” cried the stranger throwing his puree upon the table. “Come with me.” There was authority in the man's voice that Willard could not resist. The stranger led him out. “I am ruined,” groaned ‘Willard, “why did you not let me play again? 1 would have won.” “No, you would not. Those devils never would have let you win again. Could you not see you were in their power? Come with me to my room.” It was a small room they entered, not altogether void of comfort. There were lights and a fire burned on the hearth. “I know not why I have saved you,” began the stranger, “but I like your face—I could not see you ruined.” “I want to tell you my stor: add- ed the man at length. “I had a home, a beautiful home. I sinned and was banished from my country. My father disowned me. No one trusted me— no one but one—I had a sister. She clung to me. She trusts me _still. But for her I should have killed my- self. That was ten_ years ago. 1 came here. Should I return I should be thrown into prison. My father has never forgiven me, but my sister clings to me still. She was the idol of my heart. Only once in all these years have 1 dared to see her face. Once, a year ago, I braved all and returned just to look upon her onge. Disguised as a sailor I worked my passage. When we landed I sent her word and she bade me come. Those few moments have given me strength and hope and courage for the rest of life. But for Florence I should have died in despair—" “Florence — your sister —" .Willard raised hit hand bewildered to his head. “Tell me” he cried, “When— where did you see her?—Florence — your sister?” “It was in October, the th, in my father’s garden, at Hamilton, Flor- ence Price—Why man, do you know her?” Willard groaned. “It was_you—you—her brother!— Oh, why did I not know? I never knew she had a brothe; My God! How I wronged her! “I loved her—we were to have been married—I was in the garden—I saw you kiss her—She would not explain —I accysed her cruelly! now— She would not betray you—and I left her.” “You left her—because of me! have brought this added sorrow er!” He buried his head in hjs hand and was silent for many minutes. Then he looked up— “You ere Willard, the man loves. She told me of you.” “Yes, she loved me—and I have lost her for my own folly and anger—lost her—and how I loved!” ‘Do you love her still?” man. “Love her! I have never ceased to love her. I have tried to forget; that is_why I plunsed into excitement, but I love her!” ‘Go back and tel] her so.’ “Go back! How can 1?7 despise me.” “She loves you. She pines for you. She is ill. _Go bring her back to life and love. You only can do it.” “Can it be that Florence loves me 1 to she cried the She will stil?” “Yes, she loves you and she longs for you. Thank God, that I have found you for her. Go to her. Tell her that you love her. Tell her that 1 am keeping right for her sake, that but for her I should have given up; that thought of her is all that gives me happiness.’ “I will go!” cried Willard, grasping the hand of his friend—Boston Record. Well Corrected. The Knoxville Journal and Tribune has a philosopher who declares that ‘the eye ought not to be upon the past, but upen the future.

OTHER VIEW POINTS Good swimmers often are drowned because they do not realize the neces- sity of conserving their strength and avoiding the taking of chances. The physical director of the board of edu- cation of Philadelphia evidently takes a practical view of the swimming question—that the exercise of judg- ment is as important as knowledge of the art of keeping afloat—Meriden Journal. Owners of private cars are not the habitual _offenders. The Automobile Club of Bridgeport has already set a good example by requesting every blind crossing. But there are a lot of half-baked boys and reckless adults driving cars in Bridgeport—commer- cial and livery cars, for the most part —who ought to be yanked up at once before there are more serious acci- dents. The situation is too serious to be tolerated an hour more than is necessary.—Bridgeport Telegram. Outside of the plants working on war orders, manufacturing operations expand slowly, but they are contin- ually expanding. Distributive trade is not yet all that might be desired, but_shows continued improvement. It is, bowever, noteworthy and encour- aging that confidence is well nigh un- iversal that a heavy fall and winter trade are to be anticipated and pre- tion for their peaceful commerce. the demand due to this feeling is al- ready beginning to be felt in manu- facturing centers.—Bridgeport Stand- ard. Were you ever kept awake at night by the howling or barking of a dog? Not very pleasant is it? If you know how it sounds keep your dog locked up at night. Put him in your barn or out-shed at night so that his mu- sic will not make your Christian neighbors say things which should be left unsaid. Keep him tied so that your yard will not be filled with tin cans and brick bats aimed at the dog —poor innocent creature. He is only mourning for his friend who has strayed into a sausage factory. Lock him up, my friends. The deed will edd a star to your heavenly crown—New Canaan Advertiser. \ The young man’s counsel pleaded for a fine as an alternative, saying that the young man’s father was ready to pay any amount to save his son from going to jail. The judge was adamant and met the pleading for a fine with the following: “The situation in this city is dangerous enough from autoists Who are sober without having it made ‘worse by drivers who are intoxicated. Any Intoxicated driver who appears before this court need expect no leni- ency.” If judges all over the country would foliow this pdocedure, there would be less accidents. Jail has ter- rors for a man which.a fine, no mat- ter how large, could not create. ‘The drunken chauffeur or even the driver whose head is slightly muddled, is a menace which soclety can no longer afford to tolerate—Meriden Record. Stories of the War Life In The Trench. A letter direct from the battle fields of France giving a soldier's impres- sions of trench life. He writes: “One morning we had received or- ders to take the first trenches, and the second if possible. So for four hours, our artillery had fired its charges without stopping. Rapidly fixing bay- onets, in no time we had rushed into the opposite trenches, the enemy giv- ing no resistance, as they were still gnder the influence of our artillery re. ‘“We found the trenches filled with dead bodies, and many weunded men, all of whom surendered.

I came across a man, whom it took me only a few seconds to get rid of. In the meantime another one was jumping on me. I gave him the same salute, my bayonet going through his body. When a third one came, and I could not pull my bayonet out of that man’s body, as it was stuck in the leather, I gave him a big kick. “This was the longest minute of my life. He had missed me by half an inch. That day we captured over 400 prisoners and several officers. Some threw their guns down to surrender, ang others ran into the woods, near by, and down the valley. That day was marked by looting on both sides. “When it had become silent we turned out to care for the wounded of both sides.
