Under ordinary conditions the selec- ition of the most distinguished resi- ‘dent of Connecticut as a representative of the state at a gathering of such Individuals from the forty-eight states of the union might be no easy task. Mhere are many men for different rea- sons who might be hon with such » distinction and no ome be entitled %o it more than another, but when it Pomes to making a choice for this Pommonwealth Governor Holcomb will ot be obliged to deliberate long be- Yore arriving at his decision. The fact that former President Wil- llam Howard Taft is a resident of Connecticut now, even though he has not- always been, settles the mat- ter once and for all. When it comes 1o the rendition of high service the ex-president is one of those who is not limited by the confines of a state. His work for a great many years has been such as to win distinction and lavor throughout the nation. He was fefeated for reelection, but he is one of the country’s big men and no choice Irom Connecticut could win such wide- spread approval as the sending to such )Mopted son, all Connecticut, regard- of political views, must look-upon as the first choice for such & com- and there are reasons to be- that the governor will not over- the man who lias ‘rendered and GUARD HORSE SUPPLY.

TENDENC¥ OF THE TIMES.~ 1t has nét-in the past overlooked the y of a fire company, but it came o the conclusion some time ago that /its needs warranted motor fire apphratus. Firm in its convictions it ed to raise funds for the pur- of a combination truck and chemical auto and it is but natural that it should be elated over the suc- cess which has crowned its efforts and the anticipation of the added security which such an equipment will give to | that part of the city when installed. The action of that section of Mer- iden 15 In accord with the tendency throughout the country. Motor ap- paratus has been thoroughly tested out both from the standpoint of efficiency and economy and there is ample proof that the motor driven fire wagons are the best and cheapest investments which can be made in obtaining satis- factory protection in case of fire. Not only is the motorization of fire departments of cities taking place rap- idly, but there is no lack of recogni- tion of the service which the auto equipment can render to the villages and outlying districts. It assures quick response, a low cost of maintenance /and help which can be obtained in no other way. Norwich has recently de- cided on a valuable addition to its mo- tor fire apparatus and the time is com- ing in the not distant future when it will materially cut its expense by re- placing all its horse-drawn apparatus with autos. WHAT WILL RUMANIA DO? In times of peace or war there is always an uncertainty surrounding the countries in the Balkans so that it is nothing unusual to find them the ob- Ject of attention just now in order to 4find out what they are going to do. There is no question but what they are interested and they are looking zealously after their own welfare. Pressure has been brought to bear upon Rumania by the action of the Teutonie allies in.allowing that coun- try & month to.decide what it will do. This has been precipitated by the refusal of Rumania to permit ammu- nition trains destined for Turkey to cross its territory. Both sides have Deen negotlating for that country's ald and now Germany wants a de- cision. Rumania’s -ambition is to gain con- trol of the Austrian province of Transylvania, a section largely popu- lated by Rumanians who have not fared any too well under Austrian rule. This demand stands no show of being granted as the price of Rumania’s as- sistance, but it is offered the Russlan province of Bessarabia if all goes well with What s left of the alliance. Rus- sia on the other hand is playing for the Rumanian strength and it can come nearer to giving the Rumanians what they want. Though no asree- ment has been reached and Rumania is still maintaining its neutrality the holding up of German munitions does not indicate on the face of it any fa- voritism for that side and that is the most significant of recent events as to what may be its final attitude, EDITORIAL NOTES, Memory is bound to retain a place for the Lusitania s well as for the Maine, From the generosity of the rainfalls war isn't the only thing that is being handled on a large scale.

Headquarters of Russian Third Army retreat behind Riven San, (Corre- spondence by a British eye-witness)— The details of the German advance on e Third Army are now clearer. The Russian advance over the Carpathians ‘was not met directly, but by a counter- advance on its flank. Here five army corps were concentrated, some of the fresh troops being drawn from re- Serve divisions on the French front. Meanwhile the long period of com- parative inaction had employed in bringing up the heaviest German and Austrian artillery and getting tae range not merely of the Russian lines but of squares which covered a part of their rear. The enemy’s advence was at first directed against what was thought to be the weakest part of the Third Army, nemely its right flank, which had sent a number of reinforcements to the Carpathians. - But the alertness of the Russian General on this side produced an alteration in the plan; and the at- tack was diverted to the next army corps eastwards. This corps contained regiments which had had heavy losses in"the previous hill-fighting. A gap was forced between the two army corps; and the right flank of the threafened corps was crushed by the pounding fire. The flank retreated in good spirit but with the heaviest losses, coming into line With the broken forces to the right of them. Meanwhile a tremendous cannonade was directed on the division still further eastward, with the result that some regiments | publ suffered terribly. The whole edvance of the enemy was a counter-stroke to the Russian ad- vance over the Carpathians further eastwards. The right wing of that ad- vance was now out-flanked and had to come backward. Half of this corps succeeded in rectifying its positions without serious loss; but the other di- vision hed the greatest difficulty in fghting its way tarough and lost heav- . Meanwhile the enemy’s attack was extended also westward. Here the carnonade was furious and the trench- es were in many parts wiped out, all approach to them from the rear for re- inforcements being mede almost im- possible. Ultimately a retreat was grdered by the Russlans on their side aiso. ‘When the retreat reached the San the Third Army stood on a not exten- sive front parily in front of and partly behind the river. The apparently end- less file of supply and ambulance trains had all made its way along the single line across the river. Where- ever ‘they stopped, the station was in- fested by the enemy’s aeroplanes, at one time ten of these fiying along the line. In one day three were b down, all the airmen being killed. In their positions along the San the Russians had a very difficult atream to guard and could easily be put under a flanking fire. The officers were vig- orous but deeply mortified at the loss of ground for which they had sacri- ficed so much. ~ The enemy’s cannonade became more and more intense, lasting all night and into the next day. Then the enemy made good a footing on the Russian side of the riv back, but returned and finally estab- lished himself and forced another Russian retreat of some miles.

First High Officer to Die as Prisone: The first high German officer to die in_captivity, so far as has been re- corded, is 'Lieutenant General von Haughk, former chief equerry of the King of Saxony, who has just been reported as dead of kidney trouble in Taschkent, Russia. General von Haughk fell into the hands of the Russians last October while he was in charge of a set of good | gifts being transported to the German soldiers. For a time he was given every possible favor but when the report spread in Russia that Baron Korft, the governor of Warsaw, cap- tured by the Germans, was being se- verely . handled, the same treatment was accorded General von Haughk. He was born in Leipsic in 1850, the son of a high magistrate in Saxony, and married the daughter of the Prussian General von Tietzen. He was for a time aide-de-camp to the King of Saxony, and since 1899 his equerry. LETTERS TO THE EDITOR Third Company’s Target Practice Pre- vented by Weather Conditions, Mr. Editor: It is recommended that the following statement be given such licity as the circumstances, in your opinion” may warrant. With reference to the recent annual training perlod and service target practice of the Connecticut Coast ar- tillery corps, of which the Third com- pany, stationed at Norwich, Conn., is a unit, it is probably now known to the public generally that this organ- ization did not engage in service fir- ing at Fort H. G. Wright, New York, June 10-19, 1915. Fearing that the uninformed might arrive at the conclusion that the Third company did not on account of lack of leadership, character of per- sonnel or training, I feel it my duty to state that this organization was in point of. character of personnel, train- ing, leadership, and general efficiency, fully qualified for service target pruc tice, but was prevented from firing on account of the adverse weather conditions which rendered service practice dangerous This statement is made for the pur- pose of informing the Norwich public that its company has in no wise de- teriorated asset by mstances over which it 'had absolutely no_ control, .
