The disclosures which have been made in cennection with the swindling operations of “Doctor” J. C. Lyman or John H. Putnam as he was other- wise known show that those who set out to get rich quick through fraudu lent methods have little or no diffi- culty in finding plenty of victims. The greater stranger a person is and the bigger his promises, the more co dence he can gain from a certai portion of the people, when those very same investors who cannot ward off the hypnotic influence of a ck fa- sitimate dealers in securities. s been the situation from time beyond memory, and in spite of the experiences of neighbors and friends through participating in just such swindling operatfons, the ef- forts of the authorities in the enforce- ment of the laws against such trick- sters and the punishment meted out to those who have been caught, there " appears to be no diminution in the number of gullible people who fail to take the proper precautions when matters of such a character are pre- sented to them. Anybody can of course understand now that those who were caught ought to have known better and that the fellow should be arrested and punished but if it isn’t all forgotten by the time the next scheme is pro- moted it will be the first time. Peo- ple who are encouraged to part with their hard earned cash never seem to remember that the trouble to a large extent lies in their own failure to be sure tney are right Defors going anead. BIGGER SUBMARINES, Much'licht has been thrown on the serious handicap under which this country exists concerning the sub- marine branch ¢f the nav has long been understood that the underwater boats were of inestimable alue for harbor defense the develop- ment and operation of such boats qur- ing the present war has thrown ad- ditional light upon the question in a manner which cannot be disregarded. It has been repeatedly demonstrated that the type of submarines which this country possesses. could not be depended upon for the same character of service that is being furnished by those of other countries and espec- jally is there a decided contrast when they are compared with the big U boats of the German navy. Thus when Admiral Grant tells the navy committee of the lower house of con- sress that for coast defense purposes this country needs larger submarines there is certainly good reason for giv- ing the matter proper attention. As a resuli of a careful investization from which he learned that the Ger- man boats of the type of the U-35 to the U-58 displace 800 tons on the surface compared with 450 tons dis- cement by the United States sub- marines of the K type, it can be read- ily appreciated that he is making no rash statement when he urges that the coast defense type adopted by this country be abandoned and that hence- forth none having a displacement of less than $00 tons as a minimum be constructed. country having the coastline which this one does cannot afford to neglect the submarines and as fast as it is demonstrated that existing types of war vessels are antiquated and ineffective they ‘should be elimi- nated from future consideration. THE TREATY WITH HAYTI. ‘While the ratification of treaties is under consideration in the senate it is impossible to overlook the import- ance which is attached to the treaty which was concluded a few months ago with Hayti and which is one of the three on which action is called for now. The republic of Hayti has suffered tremendously from bad management. It has been the prey of politicians and revolutionists until it became burdened with debt so large that there was danger of the foreign creditors stepping in and making their collec- tions by force and it can be appre- clated that they would have liked to have gotten control of affairs there if such a thing could have been accom- plished without friction with this country. In view of the danger into which Hayti was drifting it became neces- sary for this country to send a force of marines to that republic to put fown {ts internal strife and following Its success the agreement was reach- #d whereby this country takes over the supervision of its financial af- ) y. While it | in time, the only object of this coun- try in the entire matter being the preservation of Hayti for itself. It was an act of friendship and recogni- tion of this was shown by those peo- ple when they ratified -the treaty. This country, through the senate, must now conclude its part of the bargain and it is certainly for its interest to keep foreign nations from getting any foothold in the island republies in ad- dition to which they now already pos- sess. NEW ENGLAND FARMS, ‘When it comes to developing inter- est in agriculture in New England it must be recognized that any move- ment headed in that direction should get the sympathetic attention and support of every part of this section of the country. There has been a crying need for just such activity for a long time and while there has been a gradual response to efforts made, it has by no means commenced to ap- proach the results which are desirable and entirely possible. It was an auspicious opening of the campaign for the building up of New England farms which started at Springfield this week where govern- ors, railroad presidents, professional men and agriculturists pooled their influence for the boosting of the movement to get the farmers of New England to come nearer producing what its people consume. There is need for such an awaken- ing in all the states, for none of the six are doing all that is possible when it is realized that they are to- day producing only a fourth of the required amount of farm products ne- cessary to meet the demands. The idea is to organize an exposition with permanent grounds and buildings in which the national dairy show will be the first attraction but thereafter it is intended to continue such an effort as & medium to bring together the agricultural and industrial forces of this part of the country in a united endeavor along practical lines. There can be no question but what the farming industry can stand all the stimulation that any such cen- tral organization can give it and be- ing organized for such a worthy cause it should receive the encouragement which it so fully deserves. Properly organized and conducted its benefits are bound to be felt. MOVED BY EXPERIENGCE. Not only has Massachusetts awak- ened to the importance of fire Dro- tection as applied to schools but it likewise sees the necessity of giving proper consideration to it in many other directions as is evidenced by bills which are before the legislature of that state now in session. One of these bills seeks to increase the power of the commissioner of fire protection by giving him the author- ity to.order sprinklers installed in buildings under three stories in height. Heretofore such power has applied to higher structures but it can be read- ily recognized that the danger in buildings where the hazard may be iust as great even though the build- ing is not as tall ought not to be dis- regarded. To give the commissioner the right to minimize the danger of fire through the installation of such a system which insures a valuable de- gree of protection is for the interests of the property owner concerned as well as for his neighbors. Another bill would give the com- missioner the right to order stables where many horses are kept to have more than one entrance as it is often the case that such animals are cut off from the ome exit which is usually maintained. These are measures which have been' sugzested by past experiences with costly fires. Had they prevailed and been enforced in the past there would have been a great saving to property 2nd a large amount of waste would have been prevented. Both are matters which deserve ali the consid- eration that is being asked for them and are orly the logical steps which ought to be taken in the highly com- mendable movement for prevention. EDITORIAL NCTES No snowstorm has ever succeeded in putting a permanent damper on the baseball talk. The man on the corner says: The fellow who rests on his laurels soon becomes known as a has-been. One of the most amusing reports just now is that which credits Villa with referring to Mexican laws. The joke, if it can be looked upon as such, appears to be as much upon the groundhog as upon the public. The -talk about thé lack of an old fashioned winter was sufficient to spur the weatherman on to do his best. After this country reaches a decis- ion in the Appam case there will still be work for the insurance adjusters. Those who are looking upon Roose- velt as the only hope are convicting themselves of possessing bad judg- ment. Even though the French claim that the German successes are purely local they are nevertheless avoiding strate- gical retreats. The smile of the iceman shows that he knows that nature never intended to deny him a chance_to replenish his stock in trade, Berlin tells of its air raids as if it was proud of them but there is little in the most of them to reflect any credit upon German methods. EENa e e With streets in their present condi- tion it doesn’t take long to demon- strate the value of auto-driven fire apparatus over that hauled by horses. The photographs of the Palm Beach bathiMg crowds are interesting but it is apparent every day that there are still some who prefer the good old New England climate. In giving 82 midshipmen an oppor- tunity to resign Secretary Daniels in- sists upon getting the proper men even though there is a shortage in naval officers at the present time. There must be a lot of support for that sentiment which cries out for the time when foreign nations or sympa- thizers will not be suspected every time there is an explosion or a fire. When Mr. ‘Bryan declares that he does not like cartoonists it is safe to predict that he does not consider ev- ery knock a boost even though he must know the value of publicity. “Don’t talk to me,” sald the girl with: the wavy hair and the box of cara- m¢ “about the reward of duty and b ties like that! I etarted out the new year with just one nice, neat lit. tle resolve, which was to be kind to my fellow men—and if, instead, it had been to put poison in every one's breakfast coffee I couldn't have had much more trouble! Z ‘Tve concluded that the average fellow man can’t stand kindness— he is constitutionally unfitted for it! Or perhaps I was unfortunate in my se- lections. Anyhow, I never dreamed that Arthur would act so. “‘Arthur has been coming to see me Off and on now for about three years. He 1s of the ‘upward and onward’ sort, who grits his teeth, and smiles brave- ly on when you snub him. I am sure he must have read a book somewhere on the theory that if you make up your mind hard enough about any- thing you want you are sure to suc- ceed in getting it, because each time I have told him I never, never would marry him it hasn’t made the slightest bit of difference. “I have been consistently rude, snappy and brutal to Arthur all these years and my conscience sort of hurts me. Why, I asked myself, should I treat a man so cruelly when his only fault was that he wouldn’t stop liking me? He really couldn’t help it if I was so fascinating and alluring_that he was a helpless captive? So I be- gan being gentle and kind to Arthur. “I listened sweetly to all his remarks in large eyed adoration and agreed with him and mended a ripped glove and inquired after his cold In _ the head and admired his necktie and in- vited him to_dinner. Thus I cast my bread upon the waters, and what did I get back? Arthur turned cocky, lord- ly and overbearing at once. Instead of continuing a humble, patient slave he burst into autocratic power, and while it had gone to his head com- pletely he let another girl make him think he was in love with her and got engaged to her! The shock was too much for him, you see, and his temporary aberrqation resulted fatally, because- the other girl isn't nearly as nice as I am—and what wouldn't I give if I had continued to keep Ar- thur in misery, sane and sad, and spared him what has_befallen him! “Then, too, I have Jane on my con- science. Jane is a girl who comes to visit me occasionally and who always has irritated me because she had such possibilities and never lived up to them. Jane wasn't a particle popu- lar, and all the time I knew that it was because she did her hair the wrong way, didn’t tilt her head eo that her profile was fetching, accented her sentences down instead of up and never smiled at the psychological in- stant. “There she was, stumbling and plodding on her way, wondering what on earth was the trouble with herself and she always had bored me too much or else I hadn’t had the time to set her right. Well, I looked at Jane eeriously this time and my heart re- proached me. It seemed a crime and a sin and a shame that I hadn’'t done it before, and I settled down to my task. “I talked to Jane like a Dutch uncle and found her meek and tractable, and then I put her through a course, beginning with the correct corset and dressmaker, down through delsarte and dancing classes, and you never would have known the girl. She was so pleased with h elf when she found that she was realiy good looking and that the men were sitting up and ‘taking notice that it was like getting a sunstroke to have Jane beam on you! “And she was so grateful! She eaid she realized that all she had needea was some one to set her straight, and she couldn’t begin to thank me enough. ‘Whereupon she selected a shy, retir- ing millionaire I hag privately picked out myself, beamed at him and they THE WAR PRIMER By National Geographic Society Port Soudan—“Built to contract under a capable military administra- tion, designed to meet all the require- ments of a great, future trade brought about by the development of the prim- itlve Central African hinterland, Port Soudan, just ten years old, is one of the great latter-day achlevements to- ward the reclaiming of the Dark Con- tinent for the white man and civili- zation. More than this, however is a startegic link in the Empire, fitted so well into the chain that, today, it is one of the most important factors in the defense of Egypt’s back door,” according to a statement recently is- sued by the National Geographic So- ciety. “Port Soudan is a brand new har- bor, planned in all the details of its construction and outfitting, and, then, builded as a whole. It was a success- ful port from the first, ard it is now better prepared to handle 2 mad rush of war business than most of the ports in the Middle East. Through this port, should it be necessary for the defens of Lower Egypt, Great Britain might pour all the strength of her Indian Empire without any such fear of a traffic jam as that realized by muni- tions import at Vladivostock. Army supplies and troops might be handled in any quantity there, the most mod- ern port on the Red Sea, which, with Alexandria, the Mediterranean har- bor, forms the two great sea-links in British-Egyptian-Indian empire. railway line connects the port with the Wady Halfa, on the Nile, whence, by steamer and rail, it is con- nected with Cairo and the ports of Lower Egypt. The railway was opened in 1906, and the stimulus that it brought to the country went a long way toward justifying British confi- dence in the future of the Soudan. The railway has a terminus, also, at Port Suakin, a less suitable harbor a little to the south of the made-to-contract city. “Mecca, the Holy City of the Mo- hammedan World, lies, a little to_the north, across the Red Sea from Port Soudan. The port is 700 miles by boat south of Suez, the southern terminus of the great canal, and 495 miles by rail northeast of Khartum. It is sit- vated in an arid plain, backed by a fringe of hills, and barren save for mimosa thorns. The climate is very hot and damp, full of fever-danger for the European, and this has proved the greatest drawback to the city. “Soudan was planned in 1905. ~ Its laying out and equipping went forward steadily until 1909, by which time the Government had spent more than $4,- 500,000- on the town and harbor works. Commodious docks, outfitted with electric cranes and other up-to-date harbor machinery, together with ad- ministration and storage buildings, were constructed according to gener- ous specifications. “The new port was a successful ven- ture from the start, doing a business of more than $2,000,000 in the first year of its existence. By the out- break of the war, it was handling a rapldly-growing business of about twice the amount in value of its first year's work. Raw cotton, ivory, se- same, durra, skins, gum, and senna, the Soudan's leading products, consti- tuted the new port'’s exports, and its uswb.m:flafllnmh:g ltthere"i:l thing worse than having a grateful to you when she has walked Off with your matrimonial choice I'd like to know it! So I've got her to WorTy about. ‘You see, if I'd let Jane alone she’d have married the clerk in the hard- ware store back home &nd officlated at church suppers and read papers at the literary club and always had her wool blankets washed in June, whereas now she is face to face with life in a great city, and maybe she’ll take to cigar- ettes ang flirtations or have her auto- mobile smashed up on the Lake Shore drive and get her picture in the papers labeled ‘Beautiful Society Woman of the North Shore’! It takes years of hard training to fit one for such a career and Jane hasn’t had it. Be- sides, I've lost my millionafre. “There were many emaller blows, t00,” went on the girl with the wavy hair sadly. “There was the widower with seven children whom our relief society was trying to help. He mis- took my tender interest and said he was willing to marry me, thought I didn't Jook ‘very strong and capable of doing the family washings. And we have a pretty little second maid whose work I did for three days, because she said she was sick, and found that she went out to a party every night. So T'm going back to brutal barbarism and see if I can't get a little pleasure out of life!” “I don’t blame you!” said the inter- ested listener.—Exchange. OTHER VIEW POINTS Now if the President could only find another Josephus Daniels to put at the head of the War Department, what a contribution to the mirth of nations. “The Two Drollios or the Defensive Twins, in their side-split- ting act entitled ‘Putting the pare in preparedness.’” Woodrow _agency could book them solid on the big Chautauqua time and push Bryan way down the bill. But where to find an- other Josephus? He is unique. — Waterbury American. One of the reasons ascribed for the rapid spread of the fire that destroyed the Canadian parliament house at Ot- twa is that its interior construction was largely of wood, and that little attempt had been made to replace it with non-combustible materials. There may be in this incident something that will set those responsible for the safety of various bulldings wheré public records are stored in this country to thinking. The fire in_the state capitol, at Albany, taught New York a lesson for all time.—Waterbury Republican. [ While competition is healthful; can of course be overdone. If goods are sold too close, the trade of a town tends to be cut up into a large number of little stores, none of them big enough to do business cheaply or serve the public efficlently. Business men will find they can head off unfair competition best by cultivating the friendship of eath other. Let them discuss what should be the prices in stand: lines, and make more effort to establish a basis for mutual co- operation and good natured competi- tion.—Meriden Journal. it Giving credit where credit is due, the Connecticut company is entitled to praise for its work in keeping open its lines during the recent storms. At a time when the public was more de- pendent than ever on trolley service, when walking was difficult, automo- billng next to impossible and the snow piling up, the trolley cars were busy and for the most part, on time. Not only do the trolley snow ploughs per- form excellent work in keeping the electric cars running, but the spaces they clear are lines of least resistance for other vehicles as well. Traffic would be at a standstill were it not for the efforts of the Connecticut com- pany in keeping streets open.—Bridge- port Telegram. The Hartford Times is quite ex- cited at discovering that Governor Holcomb is just where every intelli- gent man familiar with affairs knew he was; namely he is prepared to do his duty. He is not seeking renomi- nation any more than he sought nomi- nation two years ago. If his party demands of him that he be their nominee this fall, he will not go back on the party any more than he did then. There are various well known Republicans out avowedly for the nomination and it is to the credit of the party that so many stand ready to serve and thus show _their faith in the coming election. Mr. Holcomb has the satisfaction of having made good in the responsible position which he did not seek and the public con- tinue thelr trust in him. If he is re- nominated, he will be re-elected.— Hartford Courant. Stories of the War Switzerland and the War. There is one small postage stamp, with a black border and the single word: “decede” (dead); which repre- sents a greater tragedy than any bat- tle in the present war. It is the stamp used by the International mail ser- vice, conducted by the Swiss govern- ment, between the prisoners of war of all nations and their families, on let- ters directed to soldiers who have fall- en at the front or died in_ hospital. A large table is piled high with these letters, each bearing the fatal stamp “Decede.” This is but one mail and each day’s mail piles the table again. They are to familles in Eng- land, Germany, France, Turkey, Aus- tria, Japan—the entire range of fight- ing countries—for Switzerland has tak- en over the entire work of adminis- tering this mail service between fam- ilies and their men at the front. For a small country it is an enor- mous work that Switzerland has thus assumed, bearing the entire expense without a penny's charge to anyone. Located in the heart of the carnage, with the fighting nations on every side, Switzerland is peculiarly placed for effectively carrying on this humani- tarian work. It is like the diplomatic work which the United States assum- ed for the different countries, but the magnitude of the work is probably greater owing to the vastness of these . daily mails between all the fighting| countries. And yet S rland does this work simply and without noise, and few know of the extent of the un- dertaking. Accompanied by Secretary Breny of the Post Office Department, who is in direct charge of the work,*The Asso- ciated Press representative saw its many branches of activity in full op- eration. Even the big General Post Office of Switzerland was not adequate to carry on this international work, and the gmnuhm was brought into service. ere the trapezes and flying rings have been looped to the walls along with rows of Indian-clubs and dumb-bells, giving a free open space for the enormous influx of soldier imports were mostly provisions, man-!mail.

Usually mall-bags are very stout, of leather or heavy canvas. But lately we have noticed the Ger- mans are using paper for their bags. It means a big saving on their hemp, and the bags are strong and service- Taking a knife, one of the paper mail-bags was cut, showing great re- sistance. It appeared to be a new qaulity of paper, with fibre almost like the mesh of cloth, but unmistak- ably paper. “It is remarkable,” said an onlook- er, “how the Germans get up a ser- viceable substitute as soon as they run out of any article.” “Here is another curious and sig- nificant fact”, said the official ‘in charge of the gymnasium malils. He held up a large card, a foot square, on which he had placed 21 samples of rope and twine. “Those show the ingenious substi- tutes the Germans are now using for ordinary rope and twine,” said he. The samples were from various mail bundles from Germany. They ranged in size from a small-size rope, about 1-8 inch thick to ordinary string. None of the 21 samples had any hemp. Most of the small strings and twines had a fine inner wire, to give tensible strength, wound with paper to give an outer finish and flexibility. The heav- ier ropes were of paper, with strands wound together into a stout material. But the little inner wire seemed the basis of strength in these strange German substitutes for hemp rope and cond, required so enormously in ordin- ary business and commerce. All about, long lines of postal em- ployes were at work sorting the sol- dier mail—letters, packages and money going to various countries. Many poor people mail a loaf of bread daily to the son or father away at the front or in prison. One of the wrap- pings of a loaf of bread had broken open, and isclosed that the sender had ingeniously inserted a copy of the Paris Motin inside the brsad. It was doubtless done without malice, the officials said, by some poor mother who wanted her son to get a glimpse of the home paper. Most of the packages made one sad to see, they were so pathetic in their meagteness and yet so full of silgnt love. One was small remnant of a Christmas tree, with some of the trinkets adhering. Others were packages neatly divided into small sections of chocolate, tobacco, soap and other needs and small lux. uries of the men away from home. But the most poignant branch of this busy bureau was the table heaped with letters and packages w.ich could never be dellvered, each bearing the stamp ‘“‘decade’ One employee was binding these letters in packages of a hundred, and there were many of these hundreds, with the incoming vans add- ing to them constantly. When the letters are first received, every ef- fort is made to deliver them, but when the official record or other au- thorative information shows the sol- dier is dead the fatal black-bordered stamp “decade” goes on the letter and it is returned to the sender. And so this stamp carries into countless homes daily the news which is a trag- edy to each one of these households— the first news, for the sending of the leter showed the family thought the son or father was still alive. “There was a strange incident about one of those letters,” said the officia “The letter was sent by a mother in Germany to her son in France. Find- ing he was dead, the letter was re- turned to the mother, with the stamp ‘decade’. But the mother, not under- standing the French word ‘decede thought it meant the name of the town to which her son had been trans ferred. And so she wrote him again, and this time al lthe children joined in the letter, and it was addressed to his name, at ‘Decede, France’. Of course there is no such place, and so again the letteh went back with an explana- tion why it could not be delivered. In other nearby rooms scores of male and female employes were at work on postal orders. It needed nice calculation in each case, making the exchange between French francs, Ger- man marks, English shillings, Russian roubles, -Italian lira, Austrian kron- ers, etc. The records kept by Mr Breny showed France was _eendin; about five times as much to Germany as was sent the other way, indicatin or else more generosity. In October, for example, France sent 153,000 postal orders to French soldiers in Germany, totalling 1,681,000 francs (§2§0.000), while Germany sent 34,000 ord: to German soldiers in France, {otallis 00 francs ($110,000). Russia is al sending an exceptionally large number of money orders to her soldiers in Au. tria, Hurigary and Germany. Since the vi began, over 25,000,000 francs 0) has been transmitted from s to soldiers imprisoned in vari- ous countries. summed up the magni- work in all classes of sol- as_follows: “Each day the office receives and ferwards an average of 219,054 letters and pos tals, small unregistered pac! registered packages and orders—this is the daily the special service stal on soldier mail. And yet Switzerland, a small and not rich country, is doing this work without charge and doing it gladly; its state railways carrygall this mail free of charge; all postage stamps and duties are waived; hundreds of extra postal employes are engaged in the administratio: and expenditures of 20,000,000 francs ($4,000,000) of var- ious kind are waived—that is the way a smal country is obeying a large im- pulse to do its share in the better part of the war’s work. -A YEAR AGO TODAY .
