There are people who seem to féet| that public funds exist to be drawn upoh when occasion requires without any obligations being incurred by them and that appears ‘to be-the case with those people who, caught in Europe at the opening of the war anxiously sought government assistance in get- ting_back home, but have -since, for- gotten all about reimbursing the treas- ury department or showing any dispo- sition t6 do so. Scant must have been the apprecia- tion of the service remdered to them and small the gratitude when it is now announced that there are over 200 New Englanders whp _are facing -prosecu- tion by the government in order to re- cover the amount extended in meeting their needs. People who are able to:adtquainted with the conditions here,;/00Ked at him travel in Europe must be recognized 28 _sufficlently provided ‘with funds to meet such obligatiesis béfore this time, | £0 and it must be cause for humiliation | upon the.part of many of them .when a working girl in making her final payment on. the amount borrowed Writes to the treasury department ‘that despite llness and misfortunes she has insisted in returning every penny be- | cause she warited to show her honesty. If that disposition prevailed in_ each instance, and it is the only one whica ought to, there would be no need for ‘the government to take steps to get back its momey. The amounts ad- vanced were not gifts but loans, and thére would have been a great hue and ery had this country or its con-| suls insisted upon adeguate security, when the “money wo: . advanced. yet the experiences it is having in get- ting some of the people to-pay their debts would warrant such a course being pursued at another time. PROBE SHOULD GO TO BOTTOM. From such facts as are being brought to light in the case of the men arrested in New Jersey in connection with a conspiracy to make and plant bombs for the destruction of munition plants and steamships, it appears that the government has been at work on the case for some time and there is every reason for pushing the. investi- gation so that all who are in any way involved will be given an oppor- tunity to explain the part which they have taken There are at least some features of the case about which the investigation can be said to have only just begur. ‘When two of tife accused admit that two members of the German embassy heré were' acquainted with their in- tenticns; they should be given the op- portunity to explain how they were willing that such should go on in a country friendly to Germany, after having advised against it. That they did” not favor such an undertaking was reason enough for them to see that those who were engaged in it did not operate over their heads, as ap- pears to have been the case if the con- fessions are true. Boy-Ed and von Papen have been connected with a number of questionable affairs in “ménths gone by. Apother direction in which the probe should be sent to the bottom Is that surrounding the part which it is claim- ed both the German government and the German-Americans have taken in giving ' encouragement to the scheme, through financial and other assistance. It is a case which should be sifted to the bottom and the responsibility placed where it belongs regardless of Who may be involved : RUSSIA’S NEW ARCTIC PORT. That Russia has gone about the so- ' lution of onme of its handicaps in a sénsible manner is indicated by the double announcement which is made at this time to the effect that ice has closed its port of Archangel on the ‘White sea but that early next month there will i completed’ and ready for uge a double track railroad running to BEkaterina, an Arctic port; which is open the entire year owing to the near- Bess of the guif stream. ‘When it is realized that Russia has depended upon Archangel for the de- livery of necessities including war supplies since its ports depending on the Dardanelles were closed, it can be appreciated . that it faced a serious handicap. uniess ‘it was possible to re- taln communication with the outside world otherwise than by the long haul from Viadivostok. .The idea of ice breaking steamers offered little oros- e B % at § tendance at which there were over 300 delegates from varfous- sections: inter- obtained, and every such dicates how the good work is going on. |2 long time and it was a decided com- pliment which was paid to the efforts put forward in this commonwealth when Dr. C. J. Hatfleld of New York, executive secrétary of the mational as- sociation, in addressing the delegates, endorsed the idea of the employes’ re- lef association and urged that it be adopted throughout the country. This is the work in which J. F. Gunshanan was so deeply interested even before he was made a member of the state tuberculosis -commission. Hix enthu- siastic advocacy of the idea has ex- tended to all corners of the state and there can-bé mno question but what such results as have followed the get- ting together of employes and the ¢loser relation which it causes between employe and employer have brought beneficial results. . The cause is one in which everyone is interested and the idea which has been endorsed by the national secre- tary permits each and every ome to participate in the work and help many an unfortunate who might otherwise be demied the chance to effectively combat the dread disease. It is to be hoped that it will succeed as signally in other states as it has in Connécti- cut. BETTER CITIZENSHIP, Efforts for better citizenship are to be encouraged at every opportunity and that is what the United States bureau of education is engaged in in addressing itself to the stimulation of a desire among the foreign born to acquire a knowledge of the English language. This is an effort in behalf of Americanism which cannot have too much support. ‘When people come to this country to aceept the advantages which it holds ont to them it is highly important that more than the financial side of the opportunity should be presented to them and especially when they hepe to be- American citizens. It is import- ant th_only for making them better tHe institutions of the country and its) jdeals, but it is necessary Jf they are ing te become American citizens in 1) -as well as in- 4t is & means citizenship .and rendering them less} lisble to.the influence of those who would have them serve two countries at_the same time. i What an opportunity exists in this; direction is shown by the fact that] there are over 3,000,000 foreign born whites in this country over the age of ten who cannot read or write Eng- itsh, while those Who can read or write in any language are net over half of that number. Thus it can be seen that there is a larze field fof operations and none ought to appreciate such an endeavor s has been started more than those who are in the way to ob- tain so much benefit theréfrom, except it be those who understand what American citizenship is and the neces- sity of placing its full merits before those who need it so much. It is a sood work which should receive every encouragement. EDITORIAL NOTES. It may be possible to fool the United States secret service for a while, but it cannot go on forever.

" The first American volunteers were Eilliet Cowdin, James J. Bach, Fraxier Curtis. H. G. Gerin, Bert Hall, D. G. Masson, Norman Prince, Andrew Ruel, and William Thaw.
