Attention cannot help being attract- 8d by the criticism which has been made by Rear Admiral Usher of the action taken by the acting city judse In the Yonkers court of special ses- sions when a young chicken thief was advised to go out and enlist in the navy with the accompanying warn- Ing that if he failed to do s0 he would be sentenced to jail. Such disposition to look upon the navy as a reformatory has been dis- tlosed in a number of instances in lower courts throughout the country, but it is a reflection upon the navy which ought not to be made. That branch of the nation’s defense is not » body of criminals. It does not re- ceive the young men of the country for the purpose of correction. It is established for a different purpose ind there should be no inclination pon the part of judges to try to con- vey a different opinion.: It isn’t pos- sible that such a judge would want mny member of his family to be asso- sated with culprits who need to be laught respect for the law, and it is prossly unfair that they should seek lo have the sons of other people thrown into such company. The, navy is not a dumping ground for the off scouring of the nation. It fs made up of the best physical spec- Imens of manhood and as much con- sideration is likewise given to the moral characteristics of the enlisted men. It ought to be understood by the judges of courts that despite the disci- pline that is maintained in the navy, it is not a reformatory or penal in- stitution, and no criticism can be too severe when they persist in giving the derogatory impression that it is. Black sheep appear in every organ- ization, but there is no invitation awaiting them to join the navy and no judge ought for a minute to think of putting enlistment in the navy down on a level with a jail sentence. PRIVATE CAPITAL RCSPONDING. How capital in this country is re- mponding to the demand for increased #hipping facilities is indicated by the rush: of business that prevails in the shipyards of this country today. The recent bids for government vessels showed that it would be impossible to secure delivery inside of 36 months end while it does not require as long to build commercial steamers as it does to turn out warships under nor- mal conditions, the report made to the Manufacturers' Record by the Ocean Steamship company operating in the coastwise trade that it has closed a contract for a ship to cost a million dollars, but cannot secure delivery in- side of twenty-six months substan- tiates the statement recently made by the president of a shipbuilding concern that the yards of the country are at present overcrowded. Even though as this last named authority claimed that contracts calling for $70,000,000 worth of ships were underway, the inability to get delivery in a shorter time and the extra cost which is attached to rush work cause the withholding of many contracts, so that the number of ‘vessels building does not reflect the real attitude of capital as would be possible if orders could be filled in a shorter period. Under such conditions it is difficult to see where the government is going to spend fifty or more million for in- ereasing the merchant marine and get reults any quicker than private cap- pital s aiready doing. On the other hand it is likely to discourage private enterprise without contributing any- thing to the relief of the general sit- uation, and this would be especially true should the government owned veasels be placed in competition with the privately owned ships. Such stim- ulation as the government can give should be put forth in other directions, DODGING INCOME TAX. There are always people who spend much valuable time figuring out how they ©an get around some law or how they can dodge their obligations, and aslight in their accomplishments such methods are practiced wpon indtviduals, municipal, state or government. the Iw is in ment is involved. @ ecuragement which 5 out in h ces, however, is 8isclosed by the lotment by a grand | Jury of the treasurer and manager of en importing concern for making . false statements relative to the com- wany's Dusiness. Aecording to the Jury's fin where & studied effort was made to dodge the full effécts of the income tax and to pay the government what the company thought it ought to receive instead of moeting the taxation on the same basis as competitors or other business concerns. The law malkes it a misdemeanor to dodge this tax and the only way in ‘which it can be Impressed upon those who seek to disregard it and to give warning to others who might be in- clined in the same direction is to en- force the provisions in a fair and im- partial manner. Because the tax is not believed in is not sufficient ground for trying to dodge it by making false statements. The remedy for that lies in another direction, but just as long as the income tax is required it should De applied alike to all who come un- der its provisions. Only by so doing can proper respect for the law be maintained. OWNERSHIP OF INTELLIGENCE SYSTEMS. In his annual report to the presi- dent, in which he attributes the large deficit which the department will show for its fiscal year to the war, Post- master General Burleson again urges the settlement by new legislation of the railway mail pay question. This is a matter which has needed read- justment for a long time, inasmuch as the government, like every other em- ployer, is expected to deal properly with those it employes, whether it be individuals or railroads, and while the need of*feadjustment is recognized by the government and the roads it has been impossible to agree upon an equitable basis. Mr. Burleson also Tenews the rec- ommendations made in his last two annual reports that early action be taken by congress declaring a govern- ment monopoly over all utilities for the public transmission of intelligence, and it is his opinion that as soon as practicable the telephone and tele- graph systems of the United States should be incorporated into the postal establishment. If this recommendation meets with no more hearty reception than others bhave which have been made along the same line there is no reason to be- lieve that any steps in accordance therewith will be taken for a long time to come. Not only has it failed to arouse any marked sympathy but it has resulted in such opposition that there is no early prospect of its get- ting beyond the recommendation stage. Government ownership of steamship lines as advocated by the administra- tion has shown what the sentiment is regarding such a move and just as much if not more could be expected if congfess was asked to pass a law taking over the telegraph and tele- phone lines of the country. RED CROSS SEALS. Though the Red Cross seals have passed the experimental stage and become a fixture there is just as much reason for manifesting enthusiasm over the disposal of large numbers at this season of the year as there cver was. In fact there is more reason because it has been demonstrated that a great amount of good is being done throughout the state in the worl of fighting the white plague from the proceeds of such sales and the benefits are so great that they should not only be continued, but by generous con- tributions made to increase. Norwich has manifested much in- terest in the work in past years and many thousands of seals have been disposed of here. This interest must not be allowed to lag. The seals are applicable to many uses during the holiday season and the price is such that it is possible for all to partici- pate. It is as true in this case as in any other that many hands lighten the task. No one should defer his or her contribution because it might appear to be small, for while the big pur- chases give much encouragement it is desired that there shall be a general manifestation of interest in the cause and it is fully recognized that all can- not lead in this work for humanity. It is to be remembered that it is the spirit in which the contributions are made as well as the amount which counts. It is a good time to give a little thought for the relief of those who are in the clutches of or may be threat- ened with the white plague and neeq just such assistance as can be ob- tained from such a fund, for it should not be forgotten that the net pro- ceeds of the sale of Red Cross seals in Connecticut go towards the fisht of tuberculosis in this state. EDITORIAL NOTES. The blacksmiths and the plumbers are wearing their customary winter smiles. The scrape of the snow shovel now takes the place of the clatter of the lawn mower. Winter and snowfall always bring with them an abundant supply of the unwelcomed chilblains. The man on the corner says: Si- lence can come as hear as anything to dignifying a grievance. There is likely to be a noticeable difference between what congress is edvised to do in the way of prepared- ness and what it actually does. The determination of Harvard to prepare students for war does not necessarily mean that the football squad will be put in the first line of defense. This sectiag of the state has much to be thankful for in the treatment it received from the storm which so demoralized transportation in other sections. Even though the fall of snow was light, the small boy can be reconciled by the fact that it didn’t take long to clean the walks and that there is more to come The great regret in connection with steamships- and railroad rolling stock is that they cannot be built in advance and stored up in anticipation of the demand like toys. The instances where pedestrians rush without looking in front of automo- biles continue to be as numerous as those where the drivers disregard the rights of humanity. Just how the Ford peace party can expect to accomplish anything worth while in Eurcpe when they are unable to agree among themselves is another problem for them to solve. In spite of the drownings and all the advice that is being scattered about it looks as if the greatest check upon thin iee victims would come only throueh increased cold weather. “Really, T don’t know why I came down shopping with you,” said the woman in the white turban to her friend. *“T'm not going to buy a thing. Only this morning Rapley told me very firmly that I absolutely must economize, because the bills were such frights! It has something to do with the war, but for the life of me I can't see the connection between that seal coat I want and the fighting in the Balkans—men are so far-fetched, dow't you think? But he was SO cross about it that I wouldn't dare for the life of me buy a single thing I didn't positively have to have! “However, I can have a _perfectly good time watching you enjoy your- self. I'm glad I'm not like so many women, so - dependent on spending money and accumulating useless things just because they haven’t self- control “enough to stop! Oh, are you going to get some gloves? I simply must have a new glove box because mine is so full of—Eleanor, will you just look here? Did you ever see anything so good looking in all your life? And the girl says they wash! Think of it—kid gloves you can wash instead of running up those mon- strous cleaners’ bills. ‘That was one of the things Rap- ley was so upset about, my cleaners’ bill last month! I had two dresses and a coat and all my blouses and a million white gloves cleaned. Just think what it would save if I could wash my gloves! I know Rapley will think I have a great business head to seize such a chance. Yes, you can send six of the $2 pairs. What with the trouble over imports they may never get another shipment of them, I-Eleanor. \ “Aren’t those veils too ducky! Look at this one with the little roses along the edge! No, I don't wear veils much, but they’re nice to have on hand in case it is an awfully windy THE WAR PRIMER By National Geographic Socioty “The Persian highway to Tabriz and Teharan, constructed b ital and Russian engineers is rendering back full value to the en- terprise of the Moscovite; for Russia has moved into Persia along tais way, in order that her southeastern flank Ishall be doubly safe-guarded, and Tabriz not far from the Russizn bor- der, the first large station on _the highway, has become the base of Rus- sian opérations,” begins a statement given out today by the National Geo- graphic_Socief “Tabri a dity whose age and birth-place are unknown: for, like Moses, it was found in the buirushes of the Dark Ages, a thinz o some maturity then but of uncertain ante- cedents. It is the commercial center of Azarbaijan, and it is the most im- portant window of Persia toward the west. One tradition ascribes its founding to Zobeidah, the wife of Harun al — Rashid, the Calif of the Arabian Nights. This date is, prob- ably, much too late a one, as those who' know Tabriz count a thousand years but a fraction of the city's life. “It is a monotomous . expense of flat-roof, single-story houses, strewn haphazardly over the plain. The buildings are dull in appearance, and constructions of clay ana mud plas- ter, the futer walls windowless and almost unadorned. Unpainted, heav wooden doors, studded with nails, form the entrance ways; and, within, ouses face upon their exclusive aster courts. In the dis- ntains, here and there rising in majestic cones, relieve the tedium of the duli-colored, heavy- featured city. “As in the earliest times. so today, walls surround Tabriz, without which gardens, vinevards = and orchards thrive. This region has long been famous for its fruits and _vegetables, though t rown in abund- ance. Wit e city's walls, there is a mys! th of streets, nar- row, winding passages, side allieys and blind pathways. The stréets, in most cases are unpaved, and the snow and the slush of winter, and the dust and dirt of summer, are allowed to collect and freely remain upon them. In some cases, cobble-stones have been laid, but, mostly, this pavement serves only to add to the misery of the way. People make their way about the city at nisht carrying huge cylindrical lanterns made of thin muslin. The municipality of Tabriz has not taken up street lighting. “Thete is one interesting architec- tural monument in this northern Per- sian city, and that is the Ark or Cita- del, which dominates the town. It is a massive structure, built of red brick artistically set, and its Dbaitlements rise more than 100 feet in _height, while its walls are fully 20 feet in thickness. It is a solemn pile and a gloomy one. Fable has it that crimi- nals were formerly executed by being thrown from its roof, and that one condemned woman escaped this horri ble death,'as her skirts and balloon- like pantaloons acted as a parachute to_break the fall. “There are 31§ Mosques in Tabriz, among them the wonderful blue Mos- que, known as Masjid-i Rabud. This wonderful speciment of Mohammedan architecture is falling to decay, though it still claims a full mete of admira- tion from the visiting westener. now “The Bazaarg of Tabriz are well- known in the ‘East. They are of Me characteristic oriental type, consist- ing of many miles of narrow arched ways, where light and air are exclud- ed and smells and darkness religious- 1y kept in. The shops are situated in alcoves along the ways, while crowds of purchasers on donkeys and on foot block all the passages. The Bazaars open shortly after sunrise and close at sunset. “Tabriz is the commercial center of northwestern Persia, and much of its trade with Russia passes along this way. This is an important transit trade as Russia takes the bulk of Per- sia’s export and import business, about 50 per cent. There is some house- hold manufacture in Tabriz, includ- ing that of rugs and silver filigree. Americans have hardly begun to open up this market, though their business is welcomed by the purchaser. The following is the beginning of the “Treaty of Fxiendship and Commerce’ concluded between the United States and Persia in 1856: ‘In the Name of God, the Clement and Merciful’ “The President of the United States of America and His Majesty, as ex- alted as the planet Saturn; the Sov- ereign to whom the Sun serves as a standard; whose splendor and mag- nificence are equal to that of the skies the Sublime Sovereign and the Mon- arch whose armies are as numerous as the stars; whose greatness calls to mind that of Jemshid; whose magni- ficence equals that of Darius; the Heir of the Crown and Throne of the Kaianians; the Sublime Emperor of all Persia; being equally and sincerely desirous of establishing relations of friendship between the two govern- ments which they wish to strengthen by a treaty of commerce and friend- ship and useful to the citizens and subjects of the two high contracting day and one has to get out. The last time there was a wind storm I got a cinder in my eye and the _oculist charged $3 to take it out! It does seem to me it would be sensible to spend a dollar for a vell and save the $3, doesn't it? I've got the kind of eyes that take cinders easily I might as well resign myself to it and pro- tect myself all I can! We only have one pair of eyes, you know. Yes, charge and send the ome with the rosebuds, please! “Rapley acted perfectly dreadful about the rug I bought for the library last month” pursued the youns wo- man in the white turban. “He dwelt entirely on the point that we actually didn’t need a new rug and utterly ig- nored the wonderful fact that I got a 3300 oriental for $200 just because I Wwas energetic and watched the sales! ometimes I get really discouraged trying to save money for Rapley! I can do something clever like that and nine times out of ten he just explodes about it instead of realizing he should be thankful he has a wife who can make $200 do the work of $300! I feel sometimes like starting in and being positively extravagant and let- tirig him see what it would be like “Oh, Eleanor, wait! Here is a_lit- tle rug with exactly the same shade of rose in it that there are in the big one 1 was just telling you about! And you know how extraordinary it is to find two of the same color! I think it's perfectly wonderful, don't you? Seems as though I was just led to come shopping: to-day! Do you know, that rug would exactly fit the snace between the library and din- ing room, sort of leading on from the big rug! I'm so particular about my color schemes and so is Rapley! I wouldn't find one just this color and shape again in 1,000 years, Eleanor! Thirty dollars? My dear, If it isn't as good as any $50 small rug I've ever seem I'll eat it. It would be a crime to let it go—yes, send it out, please! T do hope Rapley will be pleased, still you never can tell about men! ‘“What did you come shopping for, anyhow, Eleanor? You've bought nothing but one pair of gloves! Well, I always see such bargains when I come that it seems queer. Still, some people are gifted that way, I suppose! Bargains sort of pop out at me on all sides. Haven't you noticed this aft- ernoon? Maybe I can help you find something if yow'll tell me what you sort of have in mind as wanting— “Eleanor! Look at that hat! Isn't it a dream! I don’t think I ever in my life had a hat impress me so at first sight as that one does. It has such an air! Let's ask the price, just for fun! Why, that's wonderful, only $10. Do you know, I haven't a hat to my name suitable for that rosebud veil, now I think of it, and this one would be ideal! I'm going to try it on! - “There It certainly does’ look as though it was made for me, as she says! I don’t suppose I really ought to. Still, one always needs hats, and it would be extravagant to waste that veil! I make it a point never to have useless things lying around. I guess you may send the hat out. What—must you be going mow, El- eanor? Well, I might as well go, too, for I really didn't come down to shop. Td love to tell Rapley about the amount of money I saved this after- non by taking advantage of bargains, but he's so funny and grouchy over business just now I guess T'll not! Maybe business will be better—or something—when the bills come in!™ ‘Let- us hope so” breathed her friend, fervently—Chicago News. Stories of the War Hospital Ships Preferable to Hospi- tals. Quite the most agreeable fate that can overtake an allied soldier in the Balkan campaign is to be ill—or slightly wounded. Not that the hos- piial facilities of the ancient Turkish ty are famous, or even adequate. They are not. But there are four French and one British hospital ship in the roads of Saloniki and they constitute by far the most comfort- able not to say the only sanitary spot in_the Balkan peninsula. The French have been better pre- pared from the very outset of the present Balkan campaign in every de- tail of military organization than their British Allles. No better ex- ample of the thoroughness of this preparation could be given than the arrangements for caring for the sick and wounded. Long before there was actually any need for it and simul- taneously with the landing of the first contingent of French troops on Greek soil, the French hospital ship Sphinx was lying ready in the harbor of Sal- oniki. As the number of troops dis- embarked increased, automatically more hospital ships put in an appear- ance. First the Dugay Trouin, with its sheltered decks and its hizh stern like the poop of a Spanish galleon, all porches and awnings and loung- ing places for the convalescent; next this ship, the Charles Roux, with its operating rooms, its surgical clinics and its complete provision for the care of the more seriously wounded; and finally the Canada—all with full complement of- nurses surgeons, phy- sicians, sisters of charity and all the rest of the paraphernalia of the after- math of battle. In many ways the Charles Roux is the most interesting, especially as it is the principal operating theatre of the floating hospitals of Saloniki, and especially as the Surgeon Major, Dr. Heitz-Boyer, is one of the most dis- tinguished and best known surgeons in Paris. The ship was converted from one of the larger passenger steamers that in time of peace made the voyage from Marseilles to Alger. As such, it is roomy enough for not only have the saloons not required as operating chambers been turned Into wards to add to the accommodations of the cabins, but the great broad decks have been glassed in, making the most agreeable of sun-parlors in which cots are set in long rows so that the sick and wounded, in the warmth of the afternoon sun, may lie quiet and_look out at the ' splendid view the Bay of Saloniki affords. Here, too, the convalescent, propped up with pillows, sheltered excellently cared for and competently nursed by volunteer French women, who have passed the necessary ~examinations and haq the requisite experience, The War a Year Ago Today Dec. 15, 1914. _ Allies_advanced on_entire front in effort to drive Germans from Belgium.

Under such circum- stances the wounded soldier has all the advantages and none of the draw: backs of “the Naples of the Orient,’ as its inhabitants call Saloniki. If his cot is on the south side of the ship, he has before him the new snow-capped crests of the mountains of Kalchis, those three fingers of land that stretch into the Aegean, with convent-crowned Mt. Athos tip- ping the last finger. Or, to the west, confused with the clouds, he has the peaks of Thessaly—Mt. Olympus, the home of the gods of ancient Greece, and beyond, Mt. Osse; and perhaps even, dim in the distance, Mt. Pelion, both’ of mythological fame. The rare and changing beauty of the clouds above these snow-coifed heights, the singular coloring of the sunsets are joys to the patients aboard the French hospital &hips in no wise les- sened by the odors, the noises and the discomforts of life ashore in Saloni- ki. On the other hand, should the pa- tient be placed on the north side of the ship, the view is no less attrac- tive. Saloniki itself, charming from a distance, straggling along the curv- ing shore, mounting the hill behind the town to the walled citadel that its crest—dozens of exquisite, e minarets like altar candles proud and slim, their balconies hung with lanterns against the fete of Ram- azan; long uneven rows of mysterious houses, with projecting, latticed bal- conies; walled and secret gardens, re- | vealing only the lofty monument of a single cypress; barren spots on the peopled hillside that are cemeteries, the grey-white of their jumbled headstones gleaming in the morning sun. Below decks, all is ready for any and every operation. Every kind of clectric light gives the surgeon all the facilities necessary for searching wounds. Rows of glass cases contain ining_instruments, white porcelain tables display shallow glass dishes for sterilizing the instruments, each dish covered with a heavy glass piate to keep out apy extraneous substance. Fach specialist’ has his own operat- ing room, in addition to which there is a very complete paarmacy, a biologl- cal labratory, an X-ray = apparatus with the necessary facilities for pho- tographing the insides of the patient and a perfectly equipped darkroom to develop the photographs. In com- pletion of the picture, there are the efficient little sisters of char- great, white, wing-like head bobbing and ‘nodding as the hurry hither and thither, a wearers chain upon which are hung the keys to the supply closets dangling from waisis, a tin of baked and ster- zes under one arm—or a ooks and magazimes des- tined for some convalescent patient.

OTHER VIEW POINTS Rockvlille very sensibly votes to add to its fire department equipment. The purchasing of a piece of motor-driven apparatus to be placed in the Park Place Engine House, located in the business center, is a wise move. No city or town can afford to be without the most modern equipment in the fire-fighting line these davs. —Rock- ville Journal. The promoters of the proposed electric line to connect Berlln and Meriden have decided to adopt the storage battery method of car pro- pulsion in preference to the over- head trolley wire. Doubtless the plan is practical even though the storage battery is far from a perfect devise. This decision makes ‘one wonder what has become of the in- ternal combustion motor car which gave so much promise .a short time ago. Great things were predicted for it and out Putnam way promoters of a street railway were extremel enthusiastic not many months ago. Technical journals have time and again shown the advantage and the economy of the combined motor and passenger car operated by an internal combustion motor, but somehow they do not get onto the rails.
