COMMENDABLE MOVE FOR THRIFT. he question of thrift is ome in everybody should be interested nd especially should the effort which ‘being made in that direction by the jorwich Savings soclety command the ention of each and every individual this vicinity. This undertaking is ely philanthropic for the expense hed to the handling of the ac- ‘counts which it hopes to encourage ng people up to 21 Years of age to n will overbalance Whatever ben- would be attached thereto regard- of the gift which accompanies the it that remains undiminished for period of two years. Savings banks have done a great thing for this country. They are in larse measure responsible for much the prosperity which this country enjoyed and it is even maintained t the whole story of .the nation's ess during the last one hundred since savirgs banks were first tablished in this country is bound ) therein. That the savings banks encouraged thrift cannot be ques- ned, and it is fitting on the cen- ] of the opening of such an in- tution in this country and the 84th the! loeal bank which was the sec- savings bank organized in the that such a move should be in- gurated. Thrift was not.of course created by savings bank, but there is slight iception of the great encouragement h they have lent thereto, and it the fixing of the idea firmly in the nds of the young people that still results are going to be gained the country and the individual. The advertisement of the savings s is one which every person in ‘Norwich and surrounding towns should d and thoroughly digest. As has jeen well sald the habit of thrift will a long way toward self help and acquiring this habit the pleasures lite are increased. It is a provision the future which cannot be safely sverlooked. "1t is as Andrew Carnegie, following long years of experience, says: t is mainly at the bottom of all provements. Without it no rail- , mo canals, no ships, no tele- phs, no churches, no universities, _schools, no newspapers, nothing or costly could we havé. Man exercise thrift and save before can produce anything material of at value. There was nothing built, " no great progress made, as long as n remained a thriftless savage.” _ The opportunity which is therefore by the Norwich Savings so- 'y ousht to secure a ready response m the young people of this section. A TARIFF BOARD, dvices come from Weshington to effect that the president is favor- to the appointment of a tarift d and that such announcement saon be forthcoming. Just why changed attitude has resulted is disclosed, but it is cntirely pos- that the administration has real- _the position into which it has n through its tariff ideas and seeks to escape therefrom at most favorable opportunity. is to be remembered that this itry has had some experience with iriff board and that it was because ‘democratic action that the one d by the previous administration s rendered useless. Not only were "){:vmmdmom entirely discard- it such steps as had been taken entirely lost because of the un- ness of the democrats to look e situation in the face. The indica- ms are now that the folly of that has been seen and if such is case the chances of getting down & sensible consideration of the great question of the tariff have It is because the sul persisted 1n disregarding the rules of international , requirements that there has been recourse to the right to place guns for defense upon ships without undertaking to see that the human cargo was got- ten to a place of safety. They have been blind to all the responsi- bility which rests upon them and yet the countries which have been guilty of such operations expect that this country will force merchant vessels to abandon their rights in lcoking out for themselves. A little thought must reveal the fact that it is the course pursued under the wicked submarine policies which has brought about the conditions of which complaint is now made. . GETTING BACK LOST TRADE The American International corpo- ration gives indication that it intends to do its best to keep the American flag on the Pacific. It rendered a valuable service in that direction when it took over the vessels of the Pacific Mail which were engaged in the coast- wiso trade but it proposes now to re- establish an oriental line as soon as plans can be perfected. This is be- cause it is felt that American com- merce to the far east should not suf- fer and a recognition of the fact that it is bound to be seriously injured un- less there are American vessels to carry it. This new corporation is fully aware of the harm that has been done Amer- ican shipping, especially in the Pa- cific, by the enactment of the sea- men’s law. That is the cause for the existing situation and the great handi- cap which must be overcome. That act wiped American shipping off the Pacific and coming as it did with the war gave Japan a monopoly of which it is taking full advantage. Where the American merchant marine has dis- appeared in the Pacific, Japan's has developed. It appreciated the situa- tion which was created and it has not been slow in responding to the oppor- tunities to consolidate its shipping lines and get control of the trade routes and it has done it in a manner which permits it to handle the ship- ping in greatly increased volume. It has taken over not only the trade formerly handled by the German lines but it has practically a monopoly now of all of the freight hound east from San Francisco. This country has played into Japan's hands by “imposing restrictions upon its own shipping and ambitious as it is to overcome these and put the American fag back where it belongs the International corporation faces a hard proposition, unless it gets legis- lative assistance. GERMANY’S LAST AIR RAID. Owing to the censorship it is im- possible to get at the real facts con- cerning the last German aerial raid up- on the southeast coast of England. London admits that there was a visi- tation by aeroplanes and that some- thing less than a dozen lives were tak- en while the Berlin report declares that the attack was directed against Dover, a naval base which has fizured prominently throughout the war in the despatching of troops and supplies to the continent. Time will reveal the location and the object of this particular attack which from all reports was made by but few machines, but if dependence can be placed upon the German report while Great Britain refrains from giving out the facts, it would appear that a re- form had taken place in the manner in which the air raids are being con- ducted. Previous to this time the _attacks ‘which have been made upon England have shown no respect for unfortified places or defenseless people. .Towns and cities have suffered from the ef- fects of the bomb throwing and in a large majority of the cases where life was taken it was the non-combatants, men, women and children who were killed. An attack upon Dover how- ever with the bomb dropping confin- ed to that portion which has to do with war operations can be looked upon as coming the nearest to justified action as anything of the kind that Germany has attempted. Such attacks are only what the belligerents on both sides have engaged in from the start and if Germany has actually gone so far as to reform its past tactics it is to be hoped that it will never return to its old method of killing the inno- cent civilians. EDITORIAL NOTES. The man on the corner says: After all, it must be admitted that mankind is a pretty good fellow. ‘While Admiral Fletcher showed up 15 defects in the navy he was unable to show a lack of criticism, l Harvard students have declared war on the wrist watch. How the invasion was ever tolerated is more difficult to understand. —_— From the way in which Mexican bandits are being treated it is quite evident that Carranza has no use for watchful waiting. That Chicago girl who jumped out of a sixteenth story window must “Oh, hello!” sald the girl in charge of the reception room as the dentist's assistant paused at her desk one morning not long after the coming of the new year. “Have a good time down home! “Delightful.” The assistant beam- ed, dropping her suitcase on the floor. “It was simply splendid being with the home folks! They couldn’t do enough for me. I had so much—" “Oh, never mind,” interrupted the office 'girl, rather gueerly, ‘Tl take your word for it. Dom't you want to hear what a_wonderfully thrilling time we_had at the house?” “Surely,” replied the dentlist's assit- ant, sitting on the edge of the desk. “How did you get along, anyway? Was the grub—" “Really first class! But we've been soft of living on past recollections ever since. at I want to tell you is that I agree with you at last about Bob Armold. To be frank, I think he is detestable! The eyes of the dentist's assistant opened widely. “Why,” she exclaimed with a faint flush on her cheeks. “I don't think I ever _considered him exactly that! ' I But what has he done? Goodness me, he has always been our star boarder in your eyes! Everlastingly you've been trying to make me like him because—" The flush deepened. “Because he has been so perfectly dippy over you,” finished the office girl. “Yes, I know I was tickled over it, and hoped that you would learn to like him—I mean love him. But now —oh, ne, the selfish little beast! A flame shot into the cheeks of the dentist's assistant. “Certainly t-h-a-t is a bit strong, o b o e cold- y. “It isn't snapped the office girl. “Listen. It happened on Christmas day,” she explained. “Things were so0 dull and lonely all morning that we girls decided to get up 2 game of five hundred, followed by music and danc- ing.

No minor incident of the war has so stirred up the British press re- cently as the report from German sources that Karl Neufeld, the Ger- man trader and traveler well known in the Near East. has been trying to influence the Mohammedan tribes in Persia and Arabla against the Allies. Neufeld was rescued from prison by Lord Kitchener and the British troops at Omdurman in September, 1898. For ten years he had lain in a Mahdist jail, subjected to horrible _tortures, according to his own account. In his book . describing his adven- tures, Neufeld tells how, on being thrown into pnison, three sets of iron shackles were attached to his feet and rings and chains fastened about his neck. He was often flogged, and on one occasion he received 500 lashes. From these horrors he was saved by the British, and returned to freedom. During his imprisonment, Neufeld gained a fluent knowledge of Arabic and an intimacy with Mohammedan life and customs known to few whites. Like Burton, he made pilgrimmages in native guise both to Medina and Mecca. It was at Medina that his identity was suspected and he was made to take an oath that he was a Musselman and to undergo a search- ing examination on the Koran by Mo- hammedan doctors, from which he emerged successfully. At this time, it is declared, Neu- feld did a service to his country that brought its reward in this war. He spread the belief among the ignorant Mohammedan populace that there ‘were many Mohammedans in Ger- many. In fact the -current belief in Islam that the Kaiser is the grand callp of the European Mohammedans and went to war to free them from Christian oppression is attributed to Neufeld’s busy propaganda. There is a story that Neufeld re- cently went to Germany not only as the bearer of valuable political and military information for the German government but also of a bottle of miracle-working water from the sacred Zem-em well at Mecca, given him by the faithful as a cure for Gen- eral von Hindenburg’s gout. _ Accord- ing to the travelor Burton, Zem-Zem water is bitter to the taste and causes diarrhea and boils, but the faithful say that it not only restores health but brightens the vision, physically and spiritually, and facilitates the pronunciation of Arabia. All that is known about Neufeld's activities comes from the German papers, and for that reason they are accepted as true by the British pregs, which accuses Neufeld of ingratitude towards his rescuers. Omdurman, where Neufeld suffer- ed, has, say the British, been brought under justice and order by British rule, and it is this bentfit to the na- tives in particular and _civilization in general, they declare, that Neufeld Is seeking to destroy. Hamadan Another Biblical City. Hamadan, which the Russian army operating in Persia has occupled, fig- ures in Biblical as well as early Gre- cian history. It was the ancient Ecbatana, the treasure city captured and plundered by Alexander the Great, and it apears in the Book of Esther as {Shushan, where Ahasuerus$ _who “reigned from India even into Ethio- pia”, ‘gave way to the caprices of Vasht! and was induced to relent by the attraction of Esther. At Hamadan plous Jews still point out the tombs of Mordecai and Es- ther, which stand in a wooden doomed building in the center of the town. There is no doubt that the two wooden sarcopragi shown there are ancient, but considerable question of have gotten the wrong impression of the privileges of leap year. During this mild and springlike ‘weather it brings the goose pimples to read of the #4 mile gale and a drop of 84 degrees on the Pacific coast. After being fired upon by the Aus- trians in the Mediterranean and held up by the British at Kirkwall, the tanker Petrolite doesn’t have any dif- ficulty in locating trouble. Now that it is declared that Turkey will assume the responsibility. for the sinking of the Persia, it is possible ‘that it wil be willing to admit that it was the cause of the war. Inasmuch as the republicans have declared that they are willing to com- promise on any man except Roose- Velt, there is but one man in the way their being what tradition ascribes. They bear Hebrew inscriptions, one said to be of A. D. 557 and the other 841 A. D. Near the city a large mound is’ pointed out as the site of the palace of Ahasuerus. A crudely carved lion, on the site, is the sub- Ject of much legend also. Five miles from Hamadan, mountain gorge, is a famous stone inscriptions in the - Persian, Median and Babylonian languages, which seems to have been placed there by Xerxes. These inscriptions sup- plied the key that enabled the cunei- form_inscriptions. at Nineveh to be deciphered. The natives believe treas- ure lles buried under the stone. Hamadan was once famous for its white wines, but now its chief busi- ness is leather, which is much in de- mand in Persia for harness and ead- dles. Residents say the stench from the tanning pols prevenjs the oclcks from keeping crrect time."

The railroad officials are making strenuous efforts to improve matters. It should be borne in mind that the trouble is not with the motive power. With its own locomotives and those borrowed from a number of other roads the New Haven has all the equipment it can | operate. The greatest problem is to find sufficient yarding and side track- ing. There is not room for the cars. One day last week a train, every car of which was consigned to Hartford, reached that city only to find all the yarding room occupied. It was there- fore obliged to go to Windsor Locks to find siding. At Maybrook a few days ago 10,000 loaded cars were waiting to be brought into New England. Facts like these explain the remarkable state of affairs.—Bristol Press. Keep your eye on the thriving hust- ling city of Newark, N. J. It has a population -of 347,468 to-day and s rapidly growing. It is already the 14th city in this nation in point of size, ranking next to Cincinnati and ahead of Los Angeles, Washington and Jersey City. Within a generation it will probably have over a million. The Jjunction of Broad and Market streets in Newark's shopping center is rated as the busiest corner in the world. Newark’s traffic congestion problem is very much like Bridgeport's. In New- ark the City Plan commission has Jjust rendered a report which looks ahead 50 years. Adequate provisions are laid out for the city’s growth and expansion, and every loyal Newarker is desirous of adopting the recommen- dations of the commission and aid- ing the city in everv manner.

We see the fallacy of a policy of meekness advocated by in- dividuals of pacificc mind. We must meet the enmity of hostile nations with something better than grape juice and gum drops. Must we suffer the tragedy of invasion to bring ourselves to realize the necessity of armor to defend our firesides from invaders, and must we continue to be the victim for every sandbagger in Furope who ‘wishes to knock us on the head? They kill off our citizens on land and sea, and now we find another tyrant na- tion engaged in the game of enforcing her will upon us. She has insulted our flag, overhauled our vessels, and now says her rule of the sea will be enforced at every cost to neutral na- tions. American shippers forbidden to trade with four neutral nations unless they comply with rules laid down by her. Drunk with sea power she dares insult us, in these, our days of hes- itancy and shyness.

Norwich, Conn., Jan. 25, 1916. THE WAR PRIMER By National Geographlc Soclety “Udine, smallest of cities with one of the largest and most determined campaigns of the wordd-war based upon it, the center from which the whole Italian attack in the east is directed, against Triest, Gorizia and Villach, lies in_a stretch of country noted even in Italy for its natural beauties, its vivid colorings, and lux- urious climate,” begins a war geog- raphy sketch just prepareq by the National Geographic Soclety at Wash- ington. “The city is situated in a fer- tile, highly cultivated plain on the Roja Canal, between the head of the Adriatic Sea and the Alps, 8¢ miles by rail northeast of Venice, and with- in less than 40 miles of the Italian batle line, “The railroad which supplies the Italian side of this whole front runs into Udine, whence it leaves in four branches, north, south, northeast, and Southeast, The southeastern branch joins the Austrian system between Gorizia end Gradisca, the first of which towns has given its name to one of the most bitterly contested and longest drawn but battles of all times. Thus the quiet little city, a commis- sion center for the rich agricultural country around, a quaint, old-fasl ioned place, has become headquarter: for one of the great modern armies, a yast supply depot, and a _confused, hustling _metropolis for war-business. Before the war, it ' numbered some 25,000 inhabitants. “Silk-spinning, from coccoons grown in the district and in neighboring Aus- trian Friull, was the leading industry of Udine, that and the care of tour- ists stopping enroute to health resorts and to the greedy Telegram. of national little partisans.—Bridgeport Not for the first time has a position bigness and comes to Connecticut seeking the man.

Earliest Coal Mining in Alabama. The earliest known record of the existence of coal in Alabama was made in 1834, but the first statement of production in the state is contained in the United States census report for 1840, in which the amount mined is given as 946 tons. The mines of Ala- bama were probably worked to a con- siderable extent during the Clvil War, but there are no specific records until 1870, for which the United States cen- sus reports a production of 11,000 tons. The development of the present great industry really began in 1881 and 1882, when attention was directed to the large iron deposits mear the city of Birmingham. By 1885 the coal pro- duction_of the state had increased to nearly 2,500,000 tons. In 1914, accord- ing to the Uniteq States Geological Survey, the production was 15, 593,422 tons. What It Lacks.
