Whether his leadership in this matter will be sufficiently strong to bring about a much needed reform of the “pork barrel” habit remains to be seen, but there can be no question but what he has hit at an evil which de- serves to be stopped.

The Circulafion of The Bulletin The Bulletin has the largest circulation of any paper in Eastern Connecticut and from three to four times larger than that of any in Norwich. It is delivered to over 3,000 of the 4,053 houses in Nor- wich and read by ninety-three per cent. of the people. In Windham it is delivered to over 900 houses, in Putnam and Danielson to over 1,100, and in all of these places it is considered the local daily. Eastern Connecticut has forty- nine towns, one hundred and sixty- five postoffice districts, and sixty rural free delivery routes. The Bulletin is sold in every town and on all of he R. F.

Although the president in referring to the ship purchase bill which is to come before this session of congress as having been modified in essential details, the measure is bound to Te- ceive strenuous opposition because there s not disclosed in such a method a means of solving at once the prob- lem of improved transportation facil- ities any better than by leaving it to private capital, but it does embody features which are not calculated to encourage enterprise which must an- ticipate competition with the govern- ment. The government hasn't the vessels ready to put into the service. They must be purchased or built and pri- vate capital can do that as quickly as the government if it is given the right encouragement and a favorable outlook through sympathetic legisla- tion. For that reason it is an illuminating statement which is made by an official of a big shipbuilding concern on the Delaware when he says: “Probably very few people are aware that, at present, the coast shipyards of the United States have under contract 82 ocean-going vessels of various types, all to go under the United States flag, having a value of $70,000,000. Be- sides this a considerable number of vessels have recently been delivered; and of the vessels contracted for, many are nearly ready for deliver: and will be followed rapidly by others. Thus it would appear that capital is cognizant of the existing situation and is doing just what is demanded for meeting the requirements of increased trade. It has an important lead over the government, which must do the same thing for a similar purpose as proposed under the law. Thus the thing to do is not to pass laws which will put a check on such activities by private enterprise, but to legislate in a manner which will sive it assur- ance and encouragement. BOY SCOUTS AND THOMPSON. Even though Ernest Seton Thomp- son was one of the founders of the Boy Scouts, the fact that he has been dropped from office because he is not a citizen of this country, or because he thinks the organization should be conducted on different lines than are being followed, does not mean neces- sarily that the movement has received its death blow. Because in carrying oL its ideals the organization is not confined to woodcraft Mr. Thompson may be peeved, but it is a situation to which he should be willing to bow if the work can be more effective and far-reaching. It is not the first in- stance where leaders have become dis- gruntled because their ideas were not followed strictly to the letter and thereby resulted in a breaking away and the starting of new organizations and there is slight reason to believe that the well organized body of Boy Scouts is to be forn to pieces by the defection of the founder. Based upon the idea of improving the citizenship of the future citizens the organization has begun a most valuable work. Not only should it be continued, but it should be increased. There is plenty of opportunity for Mr. Thompson to start a new order and confine it solely to woodcraft if he desires, and if such is done it is like- ly to prove a powerful stimulant to all organizations which are engaged in activity along this line. Whatever is done that will create a greater inter- sst in nature and natural history and at the same time provide a training at will be of permanent benefit, mor- ally, mentally and physically is not only worthy of enforcement, but. it should receive attention commensurate with the purposes for which it is start- 2d. SECRETARY M’ADOO’S REPORT. In his annual report as secretary of ‘he treasury, Mr. McAdoo deals with the financial condition of this country ind takes justified pride in the benefits which have been obtained under the pew banking and currency law. It was legislation which had long been peeded and which had been diligently sought. He deals with the financial :ondition of the country, statements soncerning which, as well as susges- Hons for increasing the revenue to heet the country’s needs have pre- riousy been made by him and also re- lerred to by the president in his mes- jage to congress. Much emphasis is )aced upon the need of increasing the jation’s income in order to keep its jalance up to the proper figure for loing businegs and the recommenda- fons for doffig so are in keeping e s e takes and it will be a highly credit- able accomplishment if he succeeds in bringing congress around to his view. CRUSH THE PLOTTERS. Gratifying is the announcement which comes from Washington to the effect that the administration has be- gun to make far-reaching plans for bringing to book bomb plotters, con- spirators who are trying to demoralize the industries of the country and all others who are persistently working to violate the laws of the country, either for their own personal benefit or out of sympathy for any of the nations which are at war. The developments in the past year have shown the necessity for this. In fact it would have been better had this determined start been made months ago for as the president prop- erly says, “such creatures of passion, disloyalty and anarchy must be crush- ed” and that crushing cannot take place any too soon. Such steps do not call for resent- ment upon the part of any hyphenated Americans or the expressions of ex- treme displeasure which have come from the German language papers, for, as is pointed out by the Philadelphia Public Ledger “at the outset of the war the average American had noth- ing but the friendliest feelings for the German-Americans, and it was first with surprise and then with apprehen- sion, that the public discovered that instead of trying to interpret America to Germany and explain what Amer- ican neutrality must mean, a cam- paign of abuse was directed to Amer- ican ideals and ideas:. Even now feeling is not exhibited against the great proportion of the German-Americans, but there are those who have demonstrated that they are a decided menace to this country and whatever steps are taken to rid the country of such is only what has been invited by themselves. MORE FEDERAL TAXATION. The opposition which is always ex- perienced when it comes to a matter of taxation is bound to be encountered in the proposals as set forth for the increase of the federal income. Al- ready this is to be noted throughout the country in the criticism which is made concerning the idea of getting increased revenue from the iron and steel business, from the plan to derive {ten million dollars from users of gas- oline and naphtha and an additional fifteen million on automobiles and in- ternal combustion engines, from the tax on bank checks and the possibil- ity of a change in the income tax. ‘With the recognition of the fact that it is wise to pay as you go, it is nevertheless well understood that all, or any one of these matters, are due for rhuch serious consideration. Be- cause the imposition of such taxes may be considered justifiable by the advocates of such methods does not mean that they will meet with ready endorsement. It remains for them to show that such plans are the best that can be produced under the circum-| stances, and any opposition to such ideas as are proposed does not mean that is raised for' the purpose of hindrance or obstruction, for it is ap- parent that these so-called “war” tax- es are for the purpose of making up the deficiency in the national revenue caused by the revision of the tariff under the present administration. It is highly probable that there will be raised the question of other meth- ods of increasing the revenue, includ- ing the return to tariff rates which previously existed, and that would in- volve other commodities than sugar, for such an opportunity for meeting our financial needs cannot be wisely overlooked, while new internal taxes are being considered. Economy and prevention of needless expenditures are other ways. EDITORIAL NOTES. This is the season of the year when the doll in dollar gets an increased amount of thought. The man on the corner says: Noth- ing is harder than to get people in- terested in an excuse. The next steamship sailing date in which there will be much interest will be that of the vessel carrying the re- called attaches. Secretary McAdoo declares that our banking system is the strongest in the world, but that isn't the case with our merchant marine. It makes a difference whether the vacation was enjoyed or not whether people wish they had possession, just now, of what was spent at that time. That prize hen which is traveling around in a Pullman car and stopping at hotels ought to arouse enough com- petition to send down the price of eggs. — The fact that Captains Boy-Ed and von Papen were appointed by the kalser looks as if they would have something additional to answer for for being found out. The warning issued to those who shop in big cities to guard well their handbags is good advice, but there is better contained in the admonition to do your shopping at home. Even the approach of the peace ship to the European shores does not result in any noticeable change of intentions on the part of the bellig- erents to carry the war to a finish. Connecticut is represented by a number of new faces in the lower house of congress at this session, but that doesn't mean that they are mot prepared to give a good account of themselves ol R If, as is now claimed, two subma- rines attacked the Ancona, it is prob- ably the one which caused all the trouble which the passengers told about while the ope which behaved like a peérfeetly good submarine is the one which reported to its govern- ment. teries Well Under Way. New Haven, Dec. 9.—The meeting of candidgtes for the Swinmming and Water Polo teams, held last Friday evening in the gymnasium was at- tended by 73 men. With this number of candidates to work with, the pros- pects for another champlonship team are bright. As a nucleus for the team this year there are five men who held places on last year's team. Of the relay team, which broke the inter- collegiate record last year, Captaln Schlaet and Ferguson are back while of the new material three have al- ready proved valuable. Steiner, cap- tain of last year's water polo team is still here. However, the loss of Hoad- ley, who was intercollegiate cham- plon and record holder of the 50 yards swim_will leave a vacancy difficult to fll. In the 100 yards swim loss by graduation is most _severely felt. Nevertheless, considerable new madter- ial will undoubtedly be developed. This year's team will face the loss of McAleenan, who for three years held the intercollegiate = championship in fancy diving. The water polo team did not lose so heavily by graduation as did_the swimming team. There being but two vacancies to be filled from the new material The league rule of holding return meets will make four championship meets, in which in- signia will be awarded, instead of two as heretofore. A meet with Harvard has been secured this year to be held March 13 in New Haven. The ad- dition of Harvard to this year's sche- dule will make a total of ten swim- ming meets and eight polo games. Fred H. Rindge, of New York city, the International Secretary of the In- dustrial. Service movement, was a visitor in New Haven last week. While here he conducted a series of lectures the purpose of which was to enlist more Yale men in volunteer in- dustrial work. This industrial fser- vice work is a movement which en- lists college men, particularly engin- eering students in volunteer service for industrial workers. It trains and encourages them in their work and after graduation cooperates with them in their efforts for industrial and so- cial betferment. The movement start- ed seven years ago at Yale, and at present time 3,500 students from 200 colleges are rendering volunteer in- dustrial service under association auspices, in the communities where they are’ studying. Other students are finding opportunity to do this work where they live or work during the summer months. Nearly 3,000 grad- uates who became interested at col- lege, are now promoting the ideas and ideals of the movement in their larger spheres of influence. Employers, labor leaders, professors, social workers and many social agencies are cooperating in the movement in a large way. It is part of a great international move- ment being promoted by city and stu- dent Young Men's Christian Associa- tions working together with many oth- er agencies in the United States and Canada. It is surprising how readily college students have responded to a real service appeal. In a three day campaisn in New York, the Indus- trial Service movement was_presented at Columbia, New York University and the Coliege of the City of New York, with the result that 330 students showed great interest and. 165 were willing_to undertake immediate work. In a single vear, 182 graduates en- gaged in industrial service in New York City, and the movement has be- come of such Importance that a sec retary gives all his time to it. It noticeable that many of the bigge: jmen in college volunteer for service in this line. At Yale athletes, and honor men are deeply and active in this work. all uncomon for a hundred men to volunteer from a college in a single day Recently, during six weeks' pre- sentation of the work at the colleges in the Middle West, 600 students vol- unteered for definite service, and most of them have already been placed. As a result of Mr. Rindge's visit to Yale already their intere: debaters, nterested It is not at in the movement. The Yale batteries are well way. This is the second week of drill and it is expected that after Christ- mas circumstances will be favorable for greater progress. As soon as the batteries were formally inspected and accepted for the Federal Government on November 22, the requisitions for necessary equipments were approved. Invoices for a considerable part of it have been received and_certain por- tions of the Signal and Medical prop- erty have already arrived. Measure- ments for the uniforms were com- pleted Monday night and the batteries will probably receive their uniforms immediately "after the Christmas re- cess. Only the service uniforms with the campaign hat is being asked for. Battery B will be equipped before Christmas. Examinations for officers were held last week. The new officers will take charge shortly after Christ- mas. Lieutenant Robert M. Danford, 5th Field Artillery, who is to have permanent charge of the batteries, and who has recently been on duty as an instructor at the School of Fire for Field Artillery, at Fort Sill, Okla- homa, is expected to arrive on Thurs- day or Friday. As soon as he arrives, Captain Churchill, who has supervised the organization of the battery, will return to Washington. under The Junior promenade and events connected with it will be held Feb. 7 and 8. On Monday, Feb. 7, the Uni- versity hockey team will play Dart- mouth at the arena. In the afternoon will be held the junior dansant at the Lawn Club and the sophomore tea at the home of Mrs. William H. Taft. On Monday evening the dramatic as- sociation and the musical clubs will give their performances followed by the Sheft fraternity Germans. On Tuesday afternoon folowing the basket ball game with Dartmouth, the Shef- fleld society teas will take place. The promenade will be held Tuesday eve- ning in the Second Regiment armory. The program will include 42 dances and probably six extras. The Brick Row Print and Book Shop held and informal opening Mon-. day in its new quarters on High street, and met with immediate success. In addition to about 200 undergraduates, nearly 25 members of the faculty were present to inspect the new shop. Uni- que in conception, the new store promises to become an important fac- tor in undergraduate life and will be devoted to the sale of fine books and old prints. Under the direction of E. Byrne Hackett, who resigned recently from the active directorship of the Yale University Press to devote him- selt to this new work, it will endeavor to instill in Yale life a love of good books and rare old editions. In gen- eral, it will be similar to those well- known rare book and print shops of Oxford, Cambridge, London, Boston and New York, and will undoubtedly become an inferesting and valuable asset to Yale's literary world.

It was announced on Monday that A. C. Crowe has been appointed as- sistant coach of’ the Yale university hockey team. Mr. Crowe will assist Head Coach G. A. Hornfeck. Mr. Crowe formerly piayed on several Winnipeg teams, which are considered among the best in Canada, and gained a considerable reputation in Western Canada as a hockey player. His suc- ceseful career as a hockey player thoroughly qualifies him for the posi- tion of assistant coach. At the first university team practice on Monday, 50 men reported. The collection taken up between the halves of the Yale-Harvard football game at Cambridge, amounted to $11,432.39, which far exceeded any previous sum collected upon such an occasion for alding the war sufferers. This sum was more than $4,000 larecr than that collected for the purpose last year at the bowl. At the Har- vard-Princton game, the most import- ant one held in the stadium last year the total was less than $4,000. The largest single contribution was $40— two $20 bills rolled tightly together. A change in the policy of the Uni- versity Christian Association with reference to a larger term of office for the University Secretary and_the ap- pointment of Charles S. Campbell, 1909, to that office, was effected by the university officials at the beginning of this year. The graduvate comrzittee have decided that this secretary shall hold office for a term of vears instead of one year. Those who have been in- timately acquainted with the work of the Christian Association feel that there has been much loss of efficiency because of the year by vear change of the entire staff of secretaries. The lengthening of the term of the Gen- eral Secretary. does not change the former system as far it concerns the other secretaries. As in the past there iwill be the Academeic and Sheflield secretaries, and this yvear a Graduate School secretary as well. Mr, Campbell graduated in_the class of 1308. He is member of Phi Beta Kap- pa, and was a class deacon, president of Dwight Hall, and member of the track team, holding for onme year the intelrcnlleslale record for the pole vault. Last week President ceived a telegram from - Henry Ford, asking whether it would be possible for some undergraduate to accompany the party of advocates for peace to Europe as an official representative of the University. Mr. Ford was im- mediately informed by telegraph that such an arrangement would be entirely out of the question, as it would be contrary to the policy which Yale has always followed in regard to these matters. Hadley re- Fifty-five men reported last Wed- the nesday night in answer to first call for candidates by the basketball association. That the number of men who reported is smaller this year than last, is due to the fact that under the new three year rule put into effect for the first time this vear, freshmen are barred from playing on the uni- versity team. Captain Arnold of the 1915 championship team, pointed out the stronger points of last year's squad and showed how these same faculties might be assured the 1916 team. Captain Taft outfined the methods of practice for the season and pointed out the strong points of the other teams in the intercollegiate le: gue. He was followed by Coach Stowe, who spoke of discipline in prac- tice and his expectations for the team. Practice commenced on Monday. In order to bring about a closer re- lationship between the University and the New York Yale Club, the Club has arranged a series of undergraduate smokers at which representatives and graduate students will speak. The first of these smokers was hela at the Club in New York, December 9, President Hadley, Secretary Stoke: and Otto T. Bannard were the speak- ers of the evening. The subject di cussed was “The University—Its Gen- eral Aims, Its Organization and Gov- ernment; The Relation of the Club to the University.” The alumni have little oportunity of learning of the aims of the University, and this ignor- ance prevents intelligent and effective co-operation between the Alumni and the University. These smokers are but the pioneers of a movement which for some time has been felt necessary. The University has initiated the pro- ject and it is expected that the Alum- ni Association will reciprocate the ad- vances. THE WAR PRIMER By National Geographic Socloty The fighting Turk is largely a vege- tarian, and this in spite of the super- stition about the omnivorous charac- ter of the true warrior, according to a sketch recently prepared by the Na- tional Geographic Soclety, which tells of the staples of the Turkish table and describes some of the favorite dishes of folk upon the Bosphorus. The sketch is as follows: “Turkish fare is distinguished by its simplicity. The Turkish kitchen might be put at one end of the scale and the French kitchen at the other.

Now is it right for the farmers to feed and raise all Kinds of game and deer and then not have the right to have them to eat because he may be old and crippled or sick and can’t go out and shoot the game? No, he should be protected in setting snares or traps on his own land and allowed to get all the game he needs for family use.

It is as if every blow of etables, pastry and thick coffee. The workman's meal is still more simpl a chunk of bread and an onion or a bunch of grapes. “There are, however, some dishes upon the Turkish bill' of fare, which the returned Westener never wholly ceases to regret. Pilaff is one. It is a food as national with the Turk as the potato with with the Irish, as the cabbage with the German, It takes a multitude of forms, but its basic qaul- its quality of being pilaff is de- rived from rice being cooked in such a way as to preserve each grain firm and distinct. The rice is unpolished, and, in the cooking, takes on a gela- tinous coat. Sometimes, it is boiled in mutton fat, a rich, smooth, inviting dish. Sometimes bits of roast mut- ton are mingled with it, when it _be- comes a meat puding of delicious flav- or. It is cooked with small currants and pinenuts, fragrant and spicy. It is stuffed with dates and flavored with orange peal; but, whatever its form, it is one of the treasured memories of a visit to the Near East. “Egg-plant is the foundation of an other 'favored ‘Turkish dish. It Is stuffed with chopped onions and rice, and cooked in oil. It is, also, stuffed with meat marrows and rice, and steamed until it becomes a culinary inspiration. The Westener, further- more, learns to enjoy many of the milk foods prepared by the Turks. Yaourt, cultured milk as thick as sour cream, prepared from the rich milk of the buffalo-cow, is a satisfaction to the most pampered diner. Chicken breast-milk, made from grated chick- en Dbreasts; Jjelly-like rice milk, starchy pudding, eaten with eugar and rose-water; and yaourt, with chopped nutmeats, are other dishes. “The Turks are fond of sweets. They prepare a kina of bread, which they soak in honey and eat with rich cream. They, also, prepare pastry in strings soaked in honey. Their fruits are excellent, better in quality and of greater variety than the fruits of the West. Meats, alone of raw food ma- terials, with the exception of mutton, are poor in Turkey, but, then, the Turk is a good real of a vegetarian. “The. simple diet of the Turk has taken nothing from his good physique; rather, likely, it is one of the main souzces of his health and _strength. The Turkish porter, or hamal, dines on a chunk of bread, costing one cent, together with a melon, or a bunch of grapes, or an onion, or a piece of cheese, to the cost of another cent, and considers his meal complete. Yet his daily toll consists in carrying packing cases, pianos, and other knick- kracks around on his back to the as- tonishment of every visitor acquaint- ed only with the prowess of porters in the West. This rugged Turkish bur- den-bearer eats a dinner at night which in times of peace costs about four cents—a bowl of pilaff with bits of meat in it the machines, every turn of the shafts chimed in the chorus: “Our aim is to kill Germans. At the Hadfield plant The Associ- ated Press man was permitted to re- peat the experiment conducted on the occasion of the King's visit five weeks ago, the discharge of a 10cm shell at a 4-in. plate, at an angle of 50 de- grees, like the side of a ship. The King's shot pierced the armor; the correspondent’s did not. One of each allotment of shells is thus tested. And there are acres and acres of shells completed and awaiting _shipment. And new factories are in process of erection. Here at the Hadfield plant, the home of manganese steel and other note- worthy inventions, all the ingenuity and capacity are harnessed to the munition work and at the celebrated Vickers establishment it is nearly the same story. Mr. Douglas Vickers conducted the party through the latter plant, long famous for its part in the Admiralty work. Everything is done here from receiving the pig to turning out the 15-in. guns like those of the Queen Elizabeth. You can devote hours to a tour though all the shops, viewing all the processes, or you can sit in the neat little theatre provided adjoin- ing the general offices and eee on the cinematograph screem every. process pictured. In these Sheffield shops the manu- facture of munitions is not a new thing, as in many of the new muni- tion plans, and you can find many a wiseacre to remind you that there would have been no shortage of shei if Sheffield's advice had been taken. But the complaints are over now and everybody is driving, rushing, rushing at full energy to make up for lost time. It is not all impersonal either. For example, one engineer confided in the correspondent that B was particular- 1y interested in studying the effect of the German shell-fire on the Tiger. He had worked on her armor and they let him go to see the resuit. “It was good armor; ‘some’ armor as you say in the States” was his proud descrip- tion of the result. Ruskin's observation about Sheffield, that it was a wretched picture, but in a lovely frame, did not hold good to- day: it was as clear and bracing amid the workshops as out on the surround- ing moors. In no other of the muni- tion areas is there more actlvity. Shops are measured by acres, em- ployes estimated by thousands and output by millions. Essen is an- swered by Sheffield, Krupp by Had- field and Vickers!
