SUMMER CAMPS The announcement which has been made by the federal bureau of for- estry to the effect that a tract of over a half milllon acres in the White Mountains is to be thrown open to occupation by summer campers Iis likely to attract a large number to that delightful section of New England. There are of course certain restric- tions imposed upon the campers but it is possible to obtain a thirty year lease for the nominal sum of five dollars a year. This decision of the forestry board will exactly suit a small army of en- thusiasts who know the beauties of that region and who will find in this chance just the opportunity that they have been seeking in order to get away from the hustle and bustle of city life for certain perlods, or to spend their vacation in primitive seclusion. towns, one hundred and sixty- § postoffice districts, and sixty free delivery routes.

OT OVERLOOK PROTECTION is fully in accord with his recent that William Jennings Bryan ould urge that this country take that it does not add fuel to the ime which is consuming the world, ning by that, it is presumed, that this country should not only do ‘utmost to keep out of war but that should put aside all thoughts of a any -steps in advance towards te g its interests. If in any way Mr. Bryan could give positive assurance that this country d in absolutely no danger of a n attack and that there was no stion but what its rights on land seas would be fully respected and d no Sther support than what could e furnished in diplomatic communi- fense has arisen from conducted. ‘While this particular section of New England has its many attractions New Hampshire fs by no means the only state which possesses natural condi- tions for the attraction of the eamp- ers, for it makes little difference in which direction one goes there is to be found beauty spots which will ap- peal to the most fastidious taste, so that while the opening of this govern- ment reserve will, probably bring a £00d sized number of five dollar bills to the bureau in charge thereof, it holds no monopoly as to the vacation spots in this part of the country. The action is nevertheless cause for commendation since it turns to good use a large section which is not other- wise used even though it is realized that the mountains, lakes and shores in the rest of New England continue to offer keen competition. LANSING’S PROPOSITION If there was an inclination to do the right thing and abide by the re- quirements of international law there would have been no occasion for the proposal that has been made by Secre- tary Lansing concerning the disarm- ing ‘of merchant ships. Such vessels have had guns placed aboard for de- fense purposes and that need of de- the way in which submarine warfare has been Had the underwater boats observed the same rules that other up a pickpocket!

I take it from the lightning flashes which I see in your eyes that you think you have! Then why, may I ask, are you planning to subject him to a family reunion? “I know why—it's because you want to show him off and let the other mothers see how much curlier and 'yellower his hair is than is the hair of thelr offspring! You want to show Cousin Annie that her Oscar, one year older, is much shorter and welghs less. You want to show grandmother how Jimmy can spell ‘c-a-t” and call it ‘dog.’ “You want to show off his :able manners! TT1 bet if you took him he'd grab the butter with both hands and it would serve you right! Any small child taken to a family reunion that has the slightest spirit of its own would be driven to grabbing the butter or using the potatoes to hit the target made by Uncle Henry's expan- sive smile! I have seen the time when I'd like to have batted one at Henry myself! “No, woman! With the memories of my own forced attendance at fam- ily reunions still tying my spinal col- umn in bowknots, I intend to spare my son! In my own fond youth I would be yearning to stay home and play with my toys or to go out in the back yard and throw rocks at the cats and my parents, with absolutely no con- sideration for my wishes, would rig me up and drag me off to midday din- ner at Aunt Susan's. The ‘whole world at Aunt Susan's consisted of black Sunday trousers and rattling silk skirts, amid which I wandered as in a dismal forest. In the strata above floated faces belonging to the trous- ers and skirts, and most of them had teeth and spectacles that shone down on me like terrifylng sights seen through a fog. Somebody always was stepping on me and telling me to take my_iron engine into a corner. “But even that wasn't so bad as when they got an amiable, polite streak and took motice of me. “Well! some relative with a balloon girth and a string tie and a bald head would boom, ‘so_this is your boy, it is?

I hope he doesn’t grow Mind you, keep out of jail, younsster! JOYS OF REUNIONS warships have and those which they should, there would have been no cail for the arming of merchant vessels because there would be no call for the kind of defense which-the guns are intended for and which in the case of the Italian liners it has been prom- ised that they will be restricted to. The proposition of Secretary Lan- sing leaves the decision to be made by one side dependent to a large extent upon the action of the gther. If the central powers are going to carry on the same sort of submarine attacks in the future as they have in the past, it can hardly be expected that the al- lies will be willing to deny their mer- chant vessels the protection which their defense guns give, and in view of the reforms which each side is ex- pected to make in deference to what the other does 1t is not surprising that London thinks the proposition emanat- ed from Bernstorff and Berlin feels that Sir Edward Grey might as well have signed the note as Secretary Lan- sing. ons, it might be well enough to about going slow when it éomes making preparations for defense it this no man can guarantee and it against the uncertainties that pro- on must be made. Proper protection is a matter which ot be overlooked with safety. War es like a hurricane or an earth- e disturbance. It doesn't delay jecause the country attacked is not for it is the unprepared commands the least respect. It ilkes at the weak rather than the trong and for that reason thers is e necessity for this country to ove itself from that class known as , ngs and by putting the army ind navy on a satisfactory basis make rovision for permanent peace. The to do that is now and not after attacking fleet has been discovered the offing. Mr. Bryan is no more irous of peaceful relations with countries than the rest of the on, but he misht as well try to that no city needs an adequate blice force as to maintain that this jpuntry can afford to neglect its army a navy.

EDITCRIAL NOTES. The man on the corner says: After a man has made a fool of himself once the next time seems easier. The ending of the cannon scrap at Wesleyan at this time has the appear- ance of being a victory for the peace- makers. Possibly Berlin is walting for the first anniversary of the sinking «f the Lusitania to roll around before dis- avowing it. Inasmuch as one month has passed interest can be expected to abate rap- idly in the good resolutions and leap vear promises. With plenty of water and some dirty muddy streets the street department brought about commendable results trom the timely flushing. There are but few who would not prefer to see the sun shine even if this is the day when Mr. Groundhog malkes his important decision. Even if it is possible for the allies to hold the Teutons on land they have not found it possible yet to prevent them from making their wanton air raids. Gratifying is the news of the safety of the K-5. There have been enough submarine accidents and losses Wwith- out another being added to the list at this time, The highways have received some harsh treatment during the mild weather of Japuary and it will re- quire no little outlay to get them in shape this spring. From the way in which he is direct- ing the Russian forces in the Caucasus it looks as if Grand Duke Nicholas might yet be called upon to drive the Teutons out’ of Poland. ‘There was apparently a’ supply of this miserable weather which couldn’t be crowded into January, but if it is to continue long there is additional reasons for being thankful that Feb- -ruary is a short month.

Many of them are subaltern of- ficers; some of them are untrained men. ' Their particular service is to protect the capital, act as escort of honor to visiting notables and guard public buildings such as the Bank of France, In September, just after the battle of the Marne, General Gallieni, then the military governor of Paris, asked for volunteers to fill up the comple- ment of officers and the ranks of some regiments of infantry; every soldier and officer of the Republican Guard volunteered: the men needed were chosen by lot. One simple guardsman, Balllergeau worked his way up to the rank of captain, then was killed lead- ing his company to the attac The names of ‘“Dantzig,” “Fried- land,” “Alceola,” and “Burgos” were inscribed upon the banner of the “Guard” before the war; the names of “Champagne”, “Artois”, “Ypres” and “Hartmannsweilerkopf” must be add- ed for “guards” have dJistinguished themselves in all those conflicts. The municipal council of Paris has voted that a special plot be set aside in the Montparnasse cemetery for the burial of the members of the “Repub- lican Guard@” who have fallen on the field af battle.

Where a few years ago such publicity was looked upon as a sort of dangerous ethical proposi- tion, bordering perhaps on the the- ater's method of obtaining patrons it is mow an ‘accepted method of at- tracting people to church services.— Hartford Courant. Democratic leaders in _congress propose, to meet the cost of prepa edness, a flat increase of from 150 to 200 per cent. in the present In- come tax rate scale, and also a big in- crease in the surtax on the larger incomes. The reason given by the democratic leader is that this is the only form in which they can get the appropriation through the house with a narrow democratic majority. This proves either that the house democrats are not for preparedness, or else that they believe practically in confiscation.—Waterbury American. Mr. Wilson's act has precedents in set aside all regard to the nation's supreme court. The tradition has been to select men of-impartial tem- perament and mature judgment to sit on the bench of the nation's highest | court.

He intends to reform this tribun: through the selection of men who no- body else supposed were of supreme court judicial quall The only sav- ing element in the situation is the possibility that congress will not prove servile enough -to approve of a political trick of this sort—Torring- ton Register. There is much heard about the slaughter of the deer and perhaps there | stances which seem to | are numerous i warrant the free condemnation of the state's present law concerning the shooting of deer. It is possible that both sides would find much to sup- port their contentions if an impartial body could collect evidence as to the justice or injustice of permitting the killing off of deer under the present law. There will be another session of e legislature next vear and in the terim there could be little harm done if the grangers of the state took it into_their hande to collect evidence as to the relations of the deer and the farmer at present in all parts of Con- necticut. Such a fund of information, which could probably be collected with little expense, would prove of great aid to the legislature in case the present law should come up for amendment.— Waterbury Republican. One of the things which the state of Connecticut must undertake some day is a systematic campaign for the extermination of mosquitoes. The undertaking is a big one, but the stakes are big, too. There is but one method of exterminating mosquitoes, i. e., to wipe out their breeding places. This is the plan that was successfully followed in Cuba, and in Panama, as well as many other tropical places. In those climes the mosquito carries yel- low fever; In this clime he carries malaria. While local campaigns for mosquito extermination are good and in some cases (as in the Fairfield salt marshes) have been fairly effective, in the long run they cannot accom- plish much because they do not cover enough area. The mosquito is a bit of a traveler. The whole state may ‘be freed of the pest, but any single com- munity deriv y a tes ad- vantage by killing its mosquitoes when neighboring communities swarm with them every summer.—DBridgeport Tel- egram. LETTERS TC THE EDITCR American Rights Annulled. Mr. Bditor: Americans who care for the interests of their country, should give serious attention to its affairs. Those of us who have followed events since war was declared, are not blind to the fact that American rights upon the seas have suffered tremendously. International law has been assassin- ated, so,far asgconcerned with neutral rights, blockade, and contraband. The manner of procedure is the same that provoked the war of 1812; the attempt to close the seas to American com- merce. During the Russo-Japanese war, Russia was forced by England to remove cotfon from the list of contra- band, after Russia attempted to treat cotton as such. America at that time also protested Russia’s interference with our trade in non-contraband goods with _Japan. Secretary Hay wrote: The Russian order is a war upon commerce of every sort between a neutral and belligerent state. Eng- land steps further than thi she de- clares war upon commerce of every sort between neutral nations. England violates her own promises, the first attack was the three orders in coun- cil. and she has reached a point for- bidding us to sell or buy from any Buropean state unless it be under her supervision. Is it not clear that these incursions on our intercourfi wih other nations are made with the pur- pose of placing the commerce of the world in the hands of the British em- pire? It is a stab in the back at the ueutral nations, as well as at Germany and the United States is England's chief competitor. Her intentions are to concentrate all manufacturing within her own confines, as far as possible, and make her ports the main entries; the aim is, that all trading done by other nations with each other shall be carried on by and for the profit of British agen- cles. This is the cause of the war this'is why Europe is wading in blood. England promised at the opening of | the war to adhere to the déclaration of London, a principle of international law, which was born at a_conference called by herself.

The United States pressed the nations at war to live up to the declaration. Ger- many declared she would, if her ene- mies would do the same, and England promised to adhere to the declaration with slight changes specified. Instead, she has played a_game of piracy and the result is we have lost about one- third of our foreign market and 40 per cent. of total value of the crop. Southern srowers of cotton got less than cost, instead of a profit as did the munition agencies. The mercan- tile fleet of Germany is tied up and no English ships are sailing to German ports. Were this the only cause of our loss of trade, we would have no cause for complaint.. ‘What was the cause of no cotton go- | ing to Germany. and why could she not secure cotton from neutral na- tions? British agencies gave out the report that cotton was to be declared contraband, to lift the insurance rates and these same agencies would not in- sure goods for Germany, and their dealing with American and neutral concerns made the latter unwilling to ve insurance on any terms. Our own insurance as confined to American goods on American ships and our ships are few. England then com- pelled Holland to embargo cotton, and cotton was forced down and she again profited by her own crookedness. When cotton went down, with it went the trade of the south, and when we pro- tested she held herself blameless as cotton was on her free list. Then Denmark was induced to embargo cot- ton against Germany. Right here she £rows suspiclous of everybody. Ships are overhauled on the high seas and taken into English ports. She declares the North sea a military zone and { warns all merchant vessels to enter | by the Straits of Dover, or be destroy- i ed by mines.

Although there a few authoritative instances of contagion being conveyed in this manner, science says that such occurrences are quite possible.

Fortunately, the members of the profession who do these things are criticlzed and suffer from loss of pat- ronage, so that there is a strong tendency on the part of dentists to maintain their surroundings above reproach. With the sterilization of instruments some carelessness may manifest itself, partly owing to the fact that many instruments are in- jured by such processes, are too com- Plicated to be treated in this manner, or that the public is not competent to detect errors in the methods of sterilization. However, the public is rapidly learning the value of aseptic methods, and the proper equipment is now found iz nearly all dental offices The dental law of the state of Con: necticut provides for the employment of dental nurses, known as “hygien- ists,” who have been especially train- eo to the use of the best methods of One reason that most cough medi- cinés are in the end oniy palliative is that the ordinary mixtures are consti- pating, and after a day or two aggra- vate the already congested condition of the system. and thus bring on fever and pneumonia sometimes.
