You Readlers of The Bulietin leaving the city for vacation trios can have 'REPUBLICAN CAUCUS TONIGHT. The republican caucus tonight in {town hall for the purpose of selecting |candidates for the town election calls lln a full attendance from the repub- {licans of Norwich. Nothing is more |important than the selection of & {strong ticket, one that is made up of |candidates in whom confidence can be {placed and who will appeal by their {auallfications to the voters of the town, iirrespective of party. This important duty should not be neglected. It should not be left to a {few. of the voters to perform, but {there should_be a large representative {gathering of ‘the republicans who have \the *welfare of the town at heart for \the purpose of seeing that by the se- {lections made, men of the proper bu: liness ability, men on whom large re- .v‘omnbume- can be placed with the Imowledge that the trust will be prep- erly discharged and men who can get and lasting results will be se- lected for presentation before the voters of the town next month. The best possible conduct of town affairs should be the sole object of every town election and it rests with the Tepublicans to select a ticket which will convince the voters of the ability intentions of the candidates to plish such results and give the a chance to elect them. The re- piiblican party is not lacking in men ‘who can perform such a task with cred- it to the town and to themselves and it behooves the members of the party to;get t6 the caucus and see that their Tesponsibility in this respect is con- sclentiously discharged. NO REASON FOR LENIENCY. Although no decision has been an- nounced from Washington, reports in- ditate that there has been a change in’ the'view taken of the Dumba case end instead of leaning towards le- nlency and a disposition to treat it as an excusable indiscretion because of the effect it may have upon our diplomatic relations with that country, there is a feeling that it calls for aif- ferent treatment. ‘What brought about the change is not indicated except it be the study of tho case, but the idea that Austria or Austria’s representative can be tol- crated in any such act which hits so directly at the domestic affairs of this country should be quickly dispélled. For much less than what Dumba has done, even though he claims it was by direction of his government, other en- voys have been declared to be unac- ceptable as representatives of their countries and have been recalled. Such a course with Dr, Dumba does not necessarily mean a break in diplomatic relations, since Austria could send an- other envoy who would be expected to profit’ from the mistakes of his or, but whether this is done or whether Austria is asked directly o explain the actlon of that govern- ment or its representative, there can be no backing down when it comes to maintaining the dignity of the TUnited Btates. The need of a firm hand has been recognized in dealing with other cases which have shown foreign represen- tatives meddling with domestic affairs end no exception should be madeé in ! CONSIDER THE COUNTRY. The president and other leaders in affairs hay Bbave backed. They have profit- by some of it and the rest has by unheeded. In no case have b.-l shown the inadvisdbility and grave but reports have it that to be revived and urged for at the next session. . of that talk Henry Wat- Ambassador minister of Austria under the protec- tion of an American m has onsciously drawn into the scheme for transmitting this Jetter which is alm- ed at a certain forelgn control over American industry, but the very fact that he was asked to become the mes- senger should have been sufficlent to have groused his suspicion, He must have recognized that he had been called upon for an unusual service and that there was method In the s lection of an American cltizen who would be armed with credentlals en- titled to much respect. That he was | of not a party to the plan may be well understood, but it iz not such an easy matter to realize that he could un- dertake such a mission under the ex- 1isting conditions, knowing full well of the difficulty In getting through such notes, and not have his suspicion aroused as to the exact nature of the ‘business he was engaged In. Tt is ex- plainable only by the same view Dr. Dumba took when he is reported to have said, after the findl of the mote, “I don't see how Archiibald could bave been so stupld.” THE SUBMARINE REPORT. In view of the reported loss of the submarine which sank the Arabic and the sharing of Germany in that belief, the return to its base must have been as much of a surprise to the German admiralty 2s it was to the rest of the world, There is equal cause for i i ] : H ?, i }l‘ 2 i i 563 i t " i of : i i i i i i ;;, i i i j i gi | £ | | i i i s i?rg i iy i i 7| | a i i | 1 ! b £ ] il i i i B i o jE 0 Sgg i g i i Warwickshire. s Sl used to pass part every there during our ‘brief mlrflea lll She sighed, and Miss Belinda attempted to express the of sympathy in her glanced from her guest toward her brother, who was examin- ing the en s machine and did not meet her eye.

"THE WAR PRIMER By National Geographic Society surprise in the story which is told of | ————————————————————— the reason for sinking the Arabic, In justifying his action in torpedo- ing the Arabic the German subma- rine commander sets up the claim of self defense and deelares that it was his bellef that whils engaged in sink- ing the freighter Dunsley'fhe Arabic had discovered the undersea boat and altered its course so as to run down the submarine. Apparently he never thought of the possibility that the Arabic might be turning from its course for the purpose of rendering assistance to the crew of the Dunsley which had been seen to be in trouble. Apparently he never gave a moment's consideration to the fact that by sub- mersing he could have avolded all possible danger and respected the re- formed policy“of his government not to attack any liners without warning unless attacked, and certainly he had no grounds for -considering himself attacked when the steamship was ob- viously going to the assistance of the crippled Dunsley. Apparently he did not know that he was seen hiding behind the Dunsley by the crew of that ship lying in wait for the Arablc. Much more credit could be given to the commander’s report if his action in torpedoing the Arabic was mot so completely in accordance with the pol- icy which thoss vessels have so per- sistently followed.

September's efforts to make up for what August falled to provide must be accepted with the spirit of gener- osity with which they are given. This_country ought mot to procesd with the idea that the Dumba case is going to be treated in the same manner as Huerta saluted the flag. The only noticeable change in the German submarine policy is that at- tacks are. being directed agalnst the forward instead of the rear compart- ments. The one surprish thing is that ing | there is any credit for the president in the actlon of Germany, after Colonels Bryan and Roosevelt have 1aid claim to their share. 2 Those forestry experts who talked Kovno—"A great addition to the grain flelds of the Teutonic powers has been Rccomplished with the cap- ture of the fruitful country comprised hin the government of Kovno" says a statement on war geography just is- sued by the National Geographic so- clety. “Highly dev estates stretch throughout this governmept, the greatest part of whose area con- sists of rich farm lands.

Everyone should be alert to see md his corporation is well managed, but frequently that which is everybody's business is no one’s affair.
