It was many years ago that the con- stitutional limitation for the trans- portation of the members of the gen- eral assembly was adopted. It pro- vides that the representatives and serf- ators shall receive 25 cents a mile, one way, which is expected to cover their entire costs duriig the whole session. ‘That this is inadequate even during the sessions wherein a time limit is fixed must be perfectly apparent and because of it there have bcen many sessions during which it has been fore gotten or ignored. The existence of the provision was brought to light ‘when Governor Baldwin was in office and he insisted that it must be ob- served and observed it was, but in jus- tice to those who are selected to trans- act the state’s business it must have been recognized after proper thought that it is a hardship not to megt {he transportation expenSes-of the assem- bly members, e bt This does.not mean that the mem- bers should ‘be allowed to draw a good sized sum from the state for ex- dent plan of the Turks it to wipe Off the face of the earth. war furnishes obstacles to the ing of such help as might be furnish ed under different circumstances, but #i-is unquestionably a time when ev- ery possible effort should be made in their behalf. They nt help today more than they ever did" befor€ —— HONEYCOMBED HIGHWAYS. The subway disaster in New York ‘means the first of the kind which has occurred. _Such construction work calls for the devotion of 'a great amount of attention to protecting the public and insuring safety and con- sidering the amount of it that is done without stopping the traffic of a busy it is perhaps more strahge that a larger number of lives are not sacrificed. The disaster calls for a thorough in- vestigation and the fixing of the re- sponsibility for apparently someone was to blame, either in the blasting or the method of comstructing the supports which sustained the high- way. It is no place where careless methods can be tolerated. The respon- sibility for preventing just such a col- lapse as occurred must rest somewhere and the situation demands that it be placed where it belongs. If such conditions are to be allowed there is no telling when other sec- tions of the streets will drop thirty or more feet and at times when they would carry down with them greater numbers. It is highly important that contractors should make certain that such temporary structures as they erect are adequate to meet the condi- tions above as well as underneath and where blasting is one of the necessary accompaniments of such work there must be proper reinforcements to off- set it. And while New York is inves- tigating this disaster it might be well to make sure that there are not other honeycombed sections of subway con- struction which are in similar condi- tion. - REAPING WHAT THEY SOWED. It was declared that the kaiser mourned for those who were Kkilled when airmen of the allies dropped bombs upon Karlsruhe some montha ago and it is believed that he has had opportunity to repeat on subse- uent occasions, one of which may be the recent assault upon Struttgart, though the results of that air attack have not as yet been disclosed. If non-combatant lives have been taken, and that city is not classed among the fortified so that It would not be surprising if there were, it cannot help but bring forth sincere regret from all quarters that such methods of warfare have been resort- ed to by the allies. Whatever move they have made in that direction, however, has come as the result of previous efforts of like character by Germany, the Struttgart assault being referred to as the retaliation measure for the airship attacks upon London. Thus, however much the kaiser has | mourned and wept for the loss of his subjects not engaged in the war, it is impossible to place the responsibility for such deeds anywhere except upon penses which they have not contracted, Germany. That country inaugurated but that the actual cost of transporta- tion in attending the sessions should be paid by the state. With this idea in view the question will be submit- ted to the people of the state at the town election next month. The vote will be on an amendment to the con- stitution which will admit the payment of full transportation expenses instead of making them ‘use part of their princely salary of $200 to get to Hart- ford and back. It must be approved by the voters of the state and the next general assembly and it is be- lieved that the people will take the sensible ylew of the question. WHEN IN DOUBT, PLAY SAFE. Although no official statement has come from Berlin relative to the Ara- bic case to substantiate the belief of Ambassador Bernstorff that everything will be adjusted satisfactorily to this country relative thereto and concern- ing the future conduct of submarine commanders, some idea of what may be expected is furnished by the re- port which comes from that city to the effect that strict orders have been given that henceforth no chances are to be taken. This report maintains ~that after this when commanders of submarines are in doubt as to the in- tentions of liners they are to take a safe course and instead of committing an error of judgment such as occurred in the Arabic case, they are to run no risk but let the vessel escaps. 8 That furnishes ground for the belief, if it is actually so, that Germany has determined uj a reform in its pol- icy, that it recognizes the error that ‘was committed in previous cases and that hereafter it will abide by the provisions of international law and instead of sinking ships and then find- ing out that it was unjustified in its course it will make sure that it is right before going ahead. That is the restraint which should have been placed on the underwater craft a long time ago. It is what this country has been contending for ever since it made its first protest to Ger- many- and it is to be hoped that the report is based upon facts. The offi- cial announcement and the actual put- ting of such practice into operation will be awaited ‘with interest. BUTCHERING ARMENIANS, That. United States Ambassador Morganthau had exaggerated the atro- cities committed by the Turks against the Armenians was never suspected, but if his statements were in need of corroboration it is furnished in the statement which has been made by Lord Bryce of England describing the man- ner in which the Armenians have been and are being treated which accom- panies his appeal that this country use its good influence for the prevention of further slaughter. There appears to bde no limit to which the Turks have not gone in crushing thesc innocent people against whom the chief objection appears to ‘be that they are Christians and there- fore legitimate objects for the prac- tice of the worst sort of barbarities. ‘This and other countries have long been interested in giving assistance to these deserving people. For decades missionaries have been at work in Vflan"- business. the method. Instead of confining their attacks to the fortifications and points of military value, it has been the cit- izens, defenseless men, women and children, who have suffered and in the retaliatory methods. adopted by the allies they are but giving the Germans a dose of their own medicine. If a country expects that another with ‘which it is engaged in war is golng to observe the rules laid down for such occasions, it must come pretty near doing so itself. Othetwise it must bear the results unflinchingly. EDITORIAL NOTES. Summer proved that it could come back, but its staying qualities were ‘weakened by age.

Visitors who knew Brussels before the war and who then were struck with its vitality and the volubility of its citizens now are amazed at the quietude of the place. ‘What has brought about the dumb- ness is, in the first place, the knowl- edge that every one is under constant surveillance, not only by soldiers but by secret German agents and that every chance word may lead to ar- rest and probable deportation to a concentration camp in Germany, where the Mayor of Brussels, M. Max, now is. In the street cars, in the stores and on the streets the citizens seldom converse even when relatives or close friends are together, and should a stranger address them the reply is us- ually just plain “N6!" or “Yes!" or “I don't know!™ ., On the street cars a passenger will sometimes remark about a rumored military action—for rumors of all kinds are current in the city in the absence of local newspapers—at the same time expressing in a low voice his pleasure if the German troops have suffered a slight reverse. The oth- ers in the car never respond, since many of their compatriots have fallen into the trap and, after giving utter- ances ottheir opinions to the “sym- pathetic” stranger, have been .arrested and heavily fined or imprisoned, or both. Many men and women immediately change seats should a German soldier take a seat next to them in the car., Others get up without a word and leave the car at the next stopping place. Dumb hostility can be observed everywhere and the Germans notwith- standing their efforts, seem unable to gain the confidence of the Brussels people. ‘There appear to be as many secret German agents—some of them Bel- giane—as there are soldiers in Brus- sels. They are encountered every- where. In the cafes it is declared they listen to every chance remark of the customers; they form into line with the Belgian applicants for passes at the official permit office; they mix with the poor people waiting for their supply of food from the relief com- missions. Anything that may be said against the German authorities is certain to be overheard and reported, for the secret agents are linguists who speak French and Flemish and many of the dialects. This constant surveillance, with the increasing poverty of the Belgian lab- oring classes, has a -very depressing effect. Hope and conviction that at some ‘future unknown period their country will again be free, enables them to bear patiently the discomfort- ing presence of the German troops, but the coming winter is awaited with some trepidation. The poor, despite their habitual thrift, have almost reached the end of their resources. In consequence of the stoppage of many industries, the number of unemployed is growing rapidly and as a result savings made before the war have been in many cases exhausted. On July 31 official figures showed that there were in the whole of Bel- gium 734,000 workless, including® both sexes, and this number has since been added to. In Brussels and its sub- urbs along there, were Jjust over 88,000 without work, besides nearly The War a Year Ago Today Sept. 24, 1914. French took Peronne.

In preparation for this, the British commander tells of how he divided the front into four sections: then describes the fitful fightin estimated at 30, of the German Field Marshal Linan Von Sanders himself. But the British held firm, leaving upwards of 3,0000 Turks dead within open view of the trenches. “The next four days" the account says, “were chiefly remarkable for carrying through negotiations for the suspension of arm: which actually took place on 27,000 women and 42,000 children un- der 16 years old receiving relief. Hun- dreds of the =killed workers have managed to leave ‘the country to seek work elsewhere or to join the ranks of the army. Most, however, are un- able to find the means to secure guides to take them over the Dutch frontier without passes, which are next to impossible to obtain. Recent decrees issued by the Ger- man Governor-General in Brussels have made life even more difficult for the laborers, who decline to carry out work which might assist the German authorities,, Prosecution -and _punish- ment are threatened for all workmen who refuse work when it is offered them, while any one who by means of relief sustains a workman In his re- fusal also renders himself liable to severe punishment.

Indirect- ly it pays a tribute to the gailantry and fighting qualities of the Turks. General Hamilton gives no support to the numerous newspaper reports that the morale of the Turks has been shaken.” Going back to May 5, soon after the allies obtained -their first footing on the peninsula, General Hamilton re- lates how the commanders, pressed for reinforcements, found it necessary to mix the French and British troops “to an extent even of the French on our right \having a British battalion hold- ing their own most extreme right.” Followed then three days of terri- ble fighting with Krithia as the ob- Jective. “The steady advance of the British™ says the general, “could be followed by the sparkle of bayonets, until the long lines entered smoke clouds. The French at first made no move; then, their drums beating and bugles sounding the charge, they suddenly darted forward in a stream of skirm- ishers, which seemed for a moment to cover the whole southern face of the ridge of Kereces Dere. = “Against these Turkish gunners turned their heaviet pieces, and, as the leading groups stormed the first Turkish redoubt., in black bursts high explosive shells blotted out both as- sallants and assailed. “The trial was too severe for the Senegalese, Tirailleurs. They recoiled; they rallied. Another rush forward: another repulse. Then a small sup- porting column of French soldiers ‘were seen silhouetter against the sky as they charged upwards along the crest of Kereves Dere. “Not until next morning did any re- lable detail come of what had hap- pened. The net result of the three days’ fighting had been a gain of 600 yards on the right of the British and 400 on the left and in the center. The French captured all sthe ground in front of farm Zjimmerman, as well as the redoubt.”- The German leaders of the Turks were quick to realize the advantage the attackers had gained, General Hamiiton continues, and by counter- attack after counter-attack tried to ’wr:st away the trenches they had ost. “Everywhere our assailants were repulsed,” says the account, “and now for the first time I felt that we had planted a fairly firm foothold up- on the point of Gallipoli peninsula.” This was on May 10 and General Hamilton was able to relieve som® of the exhausted men on the firing line after 18 days and nights of uninter- No dought the machinists who are going on strike complaining that they would rather not, are representative of and families, and feel most responsi- bility for the well being of Waterbury.
