The interests that are in- volved are his interests and if hej stands for the best possible adminis- tration of town affairs he must take a personal interest in the town meet- ings. For the town election next Monday the republicans have named candidates who can be relied upon to give their full time and conscientious attention for the best conduct of the town’s bus- iness. They are men who have made a success in their private affairs and they possess the ability and inclina- tion to faithfully administer the bus- iness.of the town. The need of hav- ing such ‘men in office must be ap- parent to the townspeople. There is no reason why town affairs, in which 80 many are concerned and for which the people are responsible, should be administered with any more indiffer- ence or greater laxity than the suc- cessfully conducted private business, and it is in recognition of this that the republican candidates have been selected. Good government is constantly de- manded. It is the only kind of gov- ernment that is wanted and having named men who insure it, if elected o office, the republican ticket should get the support of the townspeople at the polls next Monday which will assure their election. Those elected will be chosen for a term of two years and in the selection of those who will act for: that period, careful and thoughtful consideration must be given to the merits of the republican can- didates. They stand first, last and all the time for efficiency and economy in the conduct of town affalrs, ENCOURAGING SIGNS. Evidence is being presented almost daily that the reform which Germany has promised in its submarine policy is to take place. It certainly does much to offset the discouragement which followed certain announcements to the effect that past acts which were the cause for protest would not occur again, only to have them repeated as If Germany’s word amounted to noth- Ing or the government had lost con- trol. In addition to the promises which have been made through Ambassador Bernstorff and by the last note on the Frye case, it is significant action which has been taken by the German gov- srnment in appointing Admiral von Holtzendorft as head of the naval gen- sral staff. This lends further support o the promises inasmuch as this of- Acial is declared to have been opposed ‘0 the submarine policy.of Germany rom the very start and for that rea- son it can be expected that he will see ‘hat a different course is pursued with Bue regard for the rights of humanity. Germany has little to encourage it n holding to its former policy and nuch to discourage it. It was wrong ‘rom the very start and apparently it 185 been brought to a recognition of t through the protests and the tre- S 3 the first place, but it is earnestly hoped that Germany has seen the folly of it: action and is sincere in its determin- ation as indicated at present.. Let the deeds now back up the signs and m 4 —— e TRY IT OUT NOW. _ That the experiment which is being tried out at Sing Sing by Warden Os- borne does not appeal to everyone has been manifested ever since he disclosed the reforms which he has proceeded to put into effect at the prison. At different times this opposition has taken the form of charges against the warden and efforts to have him ousted from his position, and at the present never , met your aunt and uncle. Can’t we postpone our visit until you can go? ; “There’'s no prospect of my getting away this summer.’ “Well, then, let's go next summer.” “Uncle Samuel and Aunt Lavinid would be awfully disappointed, and, besides, I want them to see little Sam 1L - while he's such a cunning . never be 3 again, and surely that's the bulliest age for a baby. I know he'll make a tremerdous hit, and I'll wager that when Uncle Samuel sees his namesake he’ll make a new will.” just such lines as have the friction caused by his selection for the office and the idegs which he has put into operation. have the approval of everyone in his policies, which some people think go as far in the way of leniency as his predecessors have gone in the way of harsh treatment, he is nevertheless fol- lowing out a course which is in ac- cordance with the ideas of a great many who have given thought to such reform. For that reason if for no other it should be allowed to go on until it furnishes sufficient facts upon which sound judgment as to the merits thereof can be based, instead of cut- ting it off at a stage when only a start has been made. The experiment cannot be tested out in.a day or a vear. It must be watched over a long period and from many angles and if it accomplishes what is expected of it, it should be supported. If it is a fail- ure it should be abandoned, but nothing would be gained by a half trial. It would simply leave the plan only partially developed and the demand still existing for its re- adoption. Now that it is being tried the onmly thing to do is to keep it going until there is absolute certainty one way or the other when fair judgment can be passed upon it. OUR POSITION FIXED. From the summary of the reply which it is reported Austria has sent to this country in response to the American declaration of its position on the question of the manufacture of munitions of war for any and all of the belligerent nations, it would ap- pear that that country expected that a prolonged discussion of that matter was to follow. Austria therein express- es fear that this country will be mili- tarized by arms orders, a condition any country might with reason be ad- vised against, but when it admits that the trade is legal and knows that this country has no intention of defying international law and no sympathy with militarism, it might as well ac- cept as final the expressed intention and attitude of the United States. The effort to have this country lim- it the amount of goods of such a char- acter as is in question cannot be ex- pected to draw the administration into a reopening of the discussion. This country stands upon its rights as Aus- tria must admit and when it comes to looking after its own affairs in this regard it can be relied upon to look after this question’as zealously in the future as it has in the past. To limit “|the supplfes to the allies, or to the Teutond would be a departure from its firm stanq as a neutra] nation and that is action which it cannot be expected to take. The very tone of the note indi- cates’ that Austria cannot expect that this country will be moved to different action thereby. This country is faith- fully guarding its neutrality and its rights and it is determined to give all the belligerents a square deal. EDITORIAL NOTES. Even the designers of fashions are making their contributions to the hor- rors of the times. By this time enterprising foreizn film makers ought to be showing views of idiotic Yankeeland. The man on the corner says: Life is too short to do all things we put in tomorrow’s schedule. There is harmony in the republican ranks and that is what contributes greatly to success on election day. Those who wait for the wind to prune out the deadwood in their trees find that it does a pretty thorough job. The British may hold up a consign- ment of false teeth for Germany, but that will not extract the biceps from the German edicts. It begins to look as if the allies felt it necessary to make some move in the west for the good influence it might have upon the Balkans. Bulgaria lays itself open to suspicion when it fails to declare that its mobil- ization is not intended for any ag- gressive move against Servia. With the declaration from Greece that it will stand by Servia it looks as if neighborhood affairs are more important than royal relationships. Having been denied the right to climb Mt. Everest, Dr. Cook’ in his protest against the British can expect to find little sympathy at Copenhagen. When the Yaqui Indians burn 60 women and children in a freight car it is another bit of evidence that all the atrocities are not being commit- ted in Turkey. From the way in which Germany’s financial resourcés are pictured it might indicate that they were peeved because the allies did not apply to them for a loan. ‘When a Maine man is sent to-jail for 30 days for driving his horse to death it seems quite a severe sen- tence, especially since autoists get off with a warning or fine for killing hu- man being: President Wilson says if the depart- ments do not do the work which a tariff commission would it is for lack of efficiency, but that is just what the “democratic administration prom- ised to furnish.

Aunt Lavinia excused herself from walking with us, saying that she had to guard the house —that if she left Uncle Samuel un- protected the maid was more than likely to call him to the telephone or let in a visitor. “It was lunch time when we returned and Uncle Samuel was. still gloomily absorbed, and Aupt Lavinia frowned every time little Sam burst into any form of gayety.

Report of Belgian Relief Commission. The first complete report of the commission for relief in Belgium, cov- ering the first eight months of its ex- istence reyeals that in income and ex- penditure “the organization forms the greatest relief movement of history. The commission has collected and dis- bursed fifty milllon dollars, fifteen million of which has been contributed in the form of money or gift food by the people of the United States and the British Empire and Belgium it- self. The bulk of the income ha come from other than purely philanthropic soyrces, but the raising of this enor- mous sum has been exclusively the work of the commission, which by financial arrangements with Belgian Individuals and institutions, exchange of currency with Belgium and a sys- tem of providing the solvent Belgian inhabitants, has ‘maintained the entire population of a nation for almost a year. A remarkable feature of the report which has hitherto received but little notice is the effort being made by the Belgians to help themselves. Over 50 per cent. of the money expended by the commission in benevolence is be- ing furnished by the Belgians abroad, and a large amount also is being sup- plied by Belgians in Belgium. In discussing the report Herbert C. Hoover, chairman of the commis- sion, said: “It may cause more sur prise among Americans, who believe that the United States is provisioning the Belgian and French people in the track of war, that only something over six million dollars in food, clothes and_money ‘have come from the ‘nit- ed States. However, the American public should realize that the commjs- sion in its organization, working per- sonnel and political aspects is dis- tinctly American. The American charitable support, so ly and promptly given, came at t! very in- ception of the movement, when such backing was vital to the success of the organization in giving it time to build. This support gave the commis- sion itg foundation from which it ac- quired the moral prestige that enabled it to secure vitally necessary conces- sions from the various belligerent governments. Nor is the necessity of this valued support at all over. The problem becomes more difficult every day, for the number of destitute has increased from 1,000,000 last October to 2,760,000 in June and now grows at the rate of 200,000 a month. And our resources, large as they are, can- not keep pace with the need if the charitable public loses interest in our work. Moreover, the continued sup- port of America is necessary to pro- vide the commission with the moral prestige as an American institution which it now possesses in the sight of the warring powers, and the mainte- nance of this prestige can only be se- cured by the continued sentimental and practical backing of the American people.” The report includes detailed state- ments of the commission’'s work, such as complete: accounts of the disposi- tion of 1955 cargoes of foodstuffs and clothing, and other statistical data, as ‘well as a general survey of the situa- tion in Belgium. ¥t is pointed out that the organization as it stands now is the result of constant upbuilding, a feature of which has been the osrgan- ization of local relief committees in practically every commune with a fed- eral system of district and provincial committees with the Comite National at the apex. The relation of this structure to the commission is one of joint endeavor and the membership of Americans entirely interlocks the organization. The relief operations are divided in- to three classes, one to provision the entire population another to conduct financial rellef and exchnage opera- fi?onl and a third to care for the des. titute. “The provisioning department,” says the report, “is cl ‘with the duty of revictualling the entire 7,000,000 people with necessary imports, and up to June 30 had either dlivered or had in stock over 600,000 tons of foodstuffs for the B section to the gross value of over $45,000,000.

All the men are mounted. but the horse is simply used as a means of rapld locomotion. When on the firing line ,the Senussi employs infantry tactics, availing himself of all the natural cover to be found. Though unfamiliar with the use of the modern electric means of com- munication, the Senusel, employing signals at night, are able to rapidly communicate with one another. The Italian troops in Tripoll have found their work greatly hampered by thie. It is believed here that the Senussi came into the possession of store: of arms and ammunition through British traders before the outbreak of the present war, the traf- fic being carried on by means of camel transports throush the Sudan. The equipment thus eecured is said to be fairly modern. To what extent the rising of the Senussi is related to Pan-Islamism is impossible to say. It is certain, how- ever, that the Senussi are not beyond the influence of the men at the head of this movement. Even the closest watch along the Egyptian frontier could not prevent communication be- tween Stamboul and Tripoll. Pan- SHOWS, 230, 7, 845 Mat. 10c; Eve. 10c and 20s DAN!

As a rule there is much more of actual progress made in rec- titying conditions that are irksomo to the patrens of the transportation com- reticulation, and the profit earned on these operations is devoted to the su; Poyt of the destitute. Such profits hdve been made possible by the vol- unteer executive, commercial and transportation service, and the amount of these profits—about $4,800,000 to date—is the measure of the value of such voluntary service.” After referring to the.work of the financial relief and benevolent depart ments, the committee states that balf a million people who might otherwise have fallen into destitution have been provided for through the remittances made available by this department, which to June 30 totalled about $20,- 000,000. “Th benevolent depart- ment, report continues, “the charity of the world @nd of the Bel- gian people themselves is mobilized to the support of the destitute, and through it over 2,750,000 persons are now being assisted in some masure with food and clothing. The total re- sources made available to the com- mission from abroad for the support of the restitute was over 331,000,000 to June 30 .and the expenditure from these sources was at that date $2: 000,000, and is now proceeding at the rate of about $5,600,000 a month. Be- yond this expediture lies local char- ity, now exceeding $10.000,000. The Beigian people have risen to an un- precedented emergency with the ut- most devotion, and aside charity about 50 per cent. of the char- itable funds of the commission from abroad are provided by Belgians and Belgian institutions. “The response of the American,Brit- ish and other people to the plea on behalf of the Belgians has been with- out parallel in international philan- thropy—amounting today to nearly $15,000,000 in cash, food and clothing. “The growing and gloomy problem is one of unemployment, for month by month a larger proportion of the in- dustrial mass of ovér 3,500,000 people falls further and further into destitu- tion. “Generous as the resources placed at the commission's disposal are, they are pitifully small when spread over the number who are now wholly depend- ent or who are becoming dependent with increasing frequency. It will ap- pear from this report that the com- mission is transmitting $5,000,000 a month from the outside world for the destitute, yet this sum divided over those now unemployed and destitute would average less than five cents per day. It is evident that the commis- sion’s work has been only supplement- al to individual resources, and these can obviously but diminish through- out the period of the war unless something can be done to at least cv- ercome the industrial stagnaticn.” In addition to the Belgian people, the commission also supplies the French ulation within the German occupied rritory, which number about 2,300,000. The cost of support- ing these people amounts to about $ 000,000 a month, and is accomplished entirely without recourse to charity by financial arrangements which from local Islamists are found everywhere along the line which such communications would follow in order to reach the Senussi. The transporiation of arms and ammunition, however, is more difficult, and since so far the Ottoman government by the Italian press, that the Senussi were being armed by Turkey, are sald here to be absolutely unfounded. LETTERS TO THE EDITOR The Flat Rock Road. Mr. Editor: Plainfield is quite a trading post for we, Ekcnk, Camp- bell Mills, and as far down as Rhode Island line farmers, and sawmill team- sters. The most convenient way to reach this center is by Flat Rock Road, so- called, but for the past five or six months this road, over the rocks, has been so bad, many of the farmers go bty the way of Moosup, at a loss of time, etc. We had good roads when Mr. James Gorman had them in hand _and we hope the voters of Plainfleld will take note. and give James Gorman the Flat Rock road as long as he will work said road, so we will be able to drive to Plainfield in safety. REPUBLICAN. Ekonk, Sept. 27, 1915. hting for Existence. Mr. Editor: When Turkey joined in the European struggle as an ally of Germany and Austria-Hungary, the other natfons were at a loss to account for her act. She had been warned repeatedly by the triple en- tente and their alliles that such a step would mean the end of Turkey in Europe. Turkey, being the only non-Chris- tian country in Europe, has learned from painful experience that she is not considered on a level with the cther countries, but in her day she was the one big power of the Orient, which all the united Occident strug- gled with for hundreds of years to break. Originating among the wild tribes of Turkestan, the Turks swept over southwestern Europe laying claim to all lands they could seize. They de- feated the great armies that the Greeks sent against them and finally captured Constantinople, where the Sultan rode into the Greek church on his horse, and re-christened it a mosque of Mohomet. But the Turks' ambition for con- quest proved their downfall. In an effort to annex all Europe to their empire, they failed at Vienna. where the victorious Poles broke their pow- er once and for all. At that time the Ottomon Empire was at its height, but from that day it has steadily declin- ed. No country has been the ally of the Turk except for its own interests. Russia has always loocked with hun- gry eyes upon Constantinople and the Turks believe that England brought Russia into the war with a promise the |. commission has instituted whereby the p towns in the occupied zon secure loans from the banks of Pari: ‘Whether so ambitious a plan can be carried out is something to which the future must supply the answer.
