Seseesessuseesssoseossesesasececssensssssssces: DEVELOPING WATER PRIVILEGES In his recent communication to The Bulletin Gifford Pinchot called atten- tion to the need of protecting the public’s interest in navigable streams. He, like many others, is opposed to legislation which would turn over governmental control to private inter- ests for the development of great power plunts without regard to the effect which is bound to follow where authorization is given to corporations to condemn private or public land wherever it may choose. There are a great many opportuni- ties for hydro electric power develop- ment in streams about the country over which the government has con- trol, and it can be appreciated that it should be anxious to encourage such development, but to give the rights away and take them out of the control of the public is a far different thing. There is involved a monopo- listic danger which needs to be guarded against. While there are these chances for cheap power on navigable streams which could be taken advantage of it is not to be forgotten that there is ‘also a great number of instances where privately owned water privi- leges are still undeveloped but which if they were utilized would result to the benefit of manufacturing and this is particularly true throughout all New England. These rich natural re- sources are allowed to lie idle and thousands upon thousands of horse power go to waste each year. Thus while there is good reason for protecting the public interests in nav- igable rivers there is a golden op- portunity for encouraging the unfold- ing of the benefits which at present lie hidden along the smaller streams and with the growing demand for cheap power they ought not to be longer overlooked. Most of Connecti- cut, but particularly the two counties in this part of the state are rich in this very particular. THAT FIVE PER CENT. REBATE. After receiving steady opposition from the time it was proposed and especially while it was being enacted into law, that portion of the tariff bill which grants a five per cent. rebate to goods transported in American bottoms has at last gotten before the United States supreme court, and in this instance it is the government which s endeavoring to prove that it is not valid. . The purpose of the law was to en- courage American shipping by offer- ing the rebate, which discrimination was expected to be sufficient reason for a marked increase in the mer- chant marine. Up to that point there could be little objection but entire disregard was paid to the fact that this country had treaties with other countries which were violated by such a law. This was pointed out at the time the bill was being discussed but it received scant attention. Inasmuch as congress has enacted the law if is maintained by the im- porters that they are entitled to the rebate and if there is a conflict with the treaties the case demands that all imports, whether they were in Amer- ican or forelgn bottoms, get the bene- fit of the five per cent. reduction in- asmuch as that is the only way in which the treaties can be lived up to. Such of course was not the inten- tion of congress. To do such a thing as that would mean that this Zov- ernment would have to give up $26,- 000,000, which it is in no condition to do. It would simply mean that the money was being thrown away, for no benefit has been gained by American shipping or would be gained under such a raid on the treasury. Yet the law exlsts like a lot of others which have followed thoughtless action and it Temains for the supreme court to straighten out the tangle. OUR AVIATION SERVICE. Revelations which are being made at the hearing before the house naval committee at Washington relative to appropriations . for aeroplanes and aero-auxiliarfes indicate that the navy department is casting aside ad- vice in respect thereto as indiscrimi- nately as it did some time ago rela- tive to the submarines and other navy requirements. When Director Bristol ‘who is in charge of naval aeronautics, ) ‘he recommended the ex- t $11,000,000 for the pur- bringfing the fiying corps up ts dnd that all but $2,- that it was recently declared Gr Britain now finds itself in when Balfour declares it is ten years behind Germany and therefore seriously han- dicapped. Senator Robinson, who has taken special interest in the aviation ser- vice, recently found occasion to re- mark that it is “contemptibly inefi- cient” and that statement is now given increased attention by the dis- closures which are being made be- fore the house committee which in- dicate that the head of the navy de- partment intends to keep it so. It was necessary for Secretary Daniels to right about face on the submarine position which he first toek and in the face of some of the reve- lations which are being made rela- tive to the aviation service it is prob- able that he will have a chance to do the same concerning that. THIS COUNTRY AS BUYER OF ISLANDS. There are reasons for believing that this country did not depend upon the recent despatch from Copenhagen for information as to the sentiment which prevails in Denmark relative to the sale of the Danish West Indies. Aside from the fact that it has been known for years that it was anxious' to get rid of the islands, and the negotia- tions which have taken place between the two countries, it unquestionably has information first handed that re- newed interest in a sale was being taken. The United States does mot want that group for the purpose of coloni- zation. It does mot seek an extension of its territorial limits. It is mot anxious to assume any more respon- sibilities among the islands of that part of the world than it already has and it is not eager to drive out for- eign owners, but it is and must be alive to its own interests and it must Dbe recognized in this instance that they lle in preventing a change in ownership which would be detrimen- tal to the interest of this country and the Americas in general. To agree to the transfer of the Danish group from Denmark to any of the larger foreign nations would be against the policy of this country, so long established under the Monroe Doctrine. National security played its part in the ratification of the trea- ty with Nicaragua whereby it secures the right to construct a canal through that country, gets a naval base on the Pacific and keeps others off, and the same protection is desirable in this case. Because of its opposition to foreign encroachment Denmark understands that this country is the logical pur- chaser if there is going to be a sale and this country at the same time cannot afford to let any opportunity slip by to obtain possession when Denmark decides to let go. RUSSIA’S DRIVE INTO ASIA MINOR. Steady progress is being made by the Russian forces in Asia ) capture of Erzerum has not only given encouragement to the czar's troops but it has apparently demor- alized the Turkish army from the manner in which cities are being abandoned without offering any seri- ous obstruction to the invaders. Just where this entrance of Grand Duke Nicholas through Turkey's back door is going to end is difficult to predict if his armies continue to push into the Armenian country with the success that has crowned its re- cent undertaking. That the next big conflict in thateregion will take place about Trebizond, the Turkish Black sea port, is probable. It is upon this city that great dependence has been placed by the Turks in getting troops and supplies into that section since it was necessary to rely upon water transportation where railroads do not exist. The loss of Trebizond follow- ing the fall of Erzerum would be a serious blow, yet that is what seems likely under the existing conditions, for it is open to attack now from both land and sea, and the avenues for getting relief there are seriously menaced. Interest in the war has therefore shifted for the time being to this zone, ang a country where the lack of railroad facilities is bound to have its effects since they are of vital im- portance to both sides. Pushing into Turkey from this direction supports the claim that Russia has recovered from its lack of equipment. It resem- bles in some respects the spectacular drive into Galicia and with that fresh in mind it can be expected to see that the mistakes of that advance are not repeated in this. EDITORIAL NOTES. There is no more effective snow re- mover than Old Sun when he is given a proper chance. Iinor. The If, as claimed, the groundhog was frozen in, he is getting some valuable assistance in thawing out. From all indications Carranza doesn’t need armv any more than he does something to pay them with. The man on the corner says: After a fellow has repeated his tale a few times he is ready to hope to die If it isn't the truth A lot more interest would be man- ifested in the automobile shows this season if cars were being shown which run without fuel. Just what an impression was made by Elihu Root’s keynote speech is in- dicated by the efforts which the dem- ocrats are making to answer it. The Germans are dcing their best to have their operations in the west offset the Russian success in the east, and all their efforts are not failures. e February has been too fickle alread: to have the prudent pack away their furs and woolens just because the weatherman made the holiday warm and springlike. Except that it was a case where lives were taken, there was no more reason for this country to insist upon a quick answer to its note to Aus- tria than there is In the case of those gent to Great Britain. 'When a former governor declares Georgia 1s a matchless state, there may be contained in such a statement the reason why the lynchers do not burn their victims at the stake. ‘When the Connecticut public util- ity commissioners tell the interstate commerce commission that the ship- pers of this state want the railroads to retain their water lines it should caxry weight for they are the people who will be affected if a change is made. Better let well enough alone. “How do, daddy?” ‘Tucker turned in his revoving office chair and surprisedly confronted his| wife and daughter. “Why, hullo, Adelaide!” he sald. “T thought you were going to read a paper at the club this afternoon.” “I am.

Why didn’t you leave her with Thora? 1 never heard of anything so—" “Please listen! Thora went home ill this noon. Your mother is out of town, as you know. The people next door are quarantined with measles and the Codys across the street have all gone off somewhere for the day and there are no other neighbors I could think of leaving Toodlums with, so I just had to bring her to you. She will be as good as gold, of course, with dadd: won't you darling “Dood as dold, torse wid daady,” Toodlums echoed amiably, while her mother hastily removed her coat and bonnet. “Now, you take off her leggings and lower one window a lttle. ~You keep the office rather too warm.” “But, my dear, you don’t seem to realize that—" “Ill be late if I stay here another moment and I must—" “Can’t you read that paper some other time? You see—" “Why, how ridiculous you are. The program _has been arranged for months. There are at least 400 women waiting to hear it. I must fly. I'll be back just as early as I can. Good- by, my dears.” “By, mudder, by,” answered Tood- lume, but Tucker gazed In speechless wonder after the hurriedly disappear- ing figure of his wife. “Well, I'll be hanged,” he muttered after a moment. “If this doesn’t beat the Dutch.” : “Bleet Dutch, daddy?” “Yes, you little—little mischief. There, Toodlums, daddy’s got your leg- gings off. Now you can play with all those beautiful papers In this waste basket. Maybe they will give you some idea for your first club essay.” He turned back to his desk and lift- ed his pen, but it remained poised In thef air, while he communed with him- self. ‘Was it for this that I let Miss Gray and the office boy off this after- noon? I was to have the place per- fectly quiet and free for the interview with Maltby—the great New York Maltby, whose call might have been worth thousands to me. But now when he sees me tending baby! Why in thunder didn’t I tell Adelaide to hire a trained nurse at $5 an hour or any old price? It would have been cheaper than—" “Daddy, dot bleed, daddy.” “0O, Toodlums, what have you done?” Tucker looked with horror at the crim- son stains on the sheer white frock. In one little dimpled hand was a safety razor blade and from the other there trickled a tiny stream of blood. “Good heavens!” Tucker ejaculated. “I threw the thing in there myself this morning. Oh, Toodlums, it was all daddy’'s fault!” He rushed with her to the washbasin and tenderly bathed the liliputian thumb. “Toodlums naughty?” “No, Toodlums, daddy s naughty. Now, dearie, hold still while I see how deep’it's cut. There, thank goodness, is isn’t bad. We don’t have to have the doctor man. Daddy must find something to tie around it.” He glanced at the too heavy towels and pulled out his handkerchief, but that was marked with the city’s grime. He lifted the little dress and was just ready to tear the scalloped petticoat when some one said: “Oh, don't do that. Take this.” Tucker looked up into the pleasant grave face of a stranger. . “Just happened to have a perfectly fresh one” the stranger remarked, as he tore a fine linen handkerchief into strips. “You hold her while I ban- dage the thumb. I'm rather used to this first aid_stunt.” That evening after Toodlums was safe in bed, none the less rosy for her slight accident, Tucker sat before the fire with his arm around his wife's waist. “It never entered my head that the man who was bandaging Toodlum’s thumb was Maltby,” he was saying. “Strange men are always coming in to the office, you know, and it wasn't Stories of the War Discipline Among Australian Recru The military authorities are having an increasingly difficult task in pre- serving discipline among the Austra- lian recruits. There have been a num- ber of outbreaks by soldiers result- ing in the burning of tents, the ston- ing of Greek fruit shops and oyster saloons in Sydney and Newcastle, and refusal among soldiers en masse to pay their fares on the state-owned railroads. The Liverpool camp, 25 miles from Sydney, being much the largest and most important one in the state is chiefly affected. There may be eeen the ineptitudes, short-comings and abuses which spring from an unpre- pared nation's being suddenly called upon to cope with the mobilization, care and preparation of volunteer armies. IScores of instances of the democra- tic spirit of the recruits at Liverpool —especially those from the ‘bush”— could be given to illustrate the prob- lems facing the military powers high and low in Australia. A strapping “rookie” wishing to ask a question of an officer who was about 100 yards ahead of him whistled loudly in typi-- cal country fashion and then yelled, “Hey!” The officer naturally believed that he was wanted on some important business walked rapidly back to the man who had hailed him. “I say old chap,” the recruit began, propping himself against a post, “I say’ “You shouldn’t slouch that way when you address an officer”, the of- ficer gently reproved him. ‘(Perhaps you haven't been taught yet, but al- Wways remember in future that before speaking to an officer you should stand at_attention.” The recruit eyed the officer critically and then turning on his heel remark- ed: “Well, if that's the way you're going to take it I won't bother asking you any questions.” Another raw recruit digging a trench was accosted by an officer' who hap- pened not to have his sword-belt on. “Hard at it?” the officer asked. “My oath mate,” was the man's re- ply, ‘but while you're here sergeant, can you tell a chap the difference be- tween all these officers I see knoking around. I don’t know one bloke from another.” “Well, to start with” eald the officer, “I'm not a sergeant.” ‘ “No”? “No"? “Well, T don't know what you call yourself—but they call me a “marma- iade”, was the response. ‘“Marma- lade” being the cant word, on account of the frequency of that ration, applied to the privates at the camp by the privates themselves. asleep and in order again I said: ‘Well, my dear sir, you have been most kind to my daughter and me. What can I do for you? “‘My name is Maltby, he replied, and I could hardly belleve my ears. “It never had occurred to me that the unapproachable steel magnate that my cousin Richard had fairly begged to call on me could be so simple and human. Before I could collect myself he began to ask all about Toodlums. and he told me Adelaide, that he had had a little girl of his own, who wasn't quite so old as our baby is now, when she died suddenly. Honestly, dear, when he told me I was affected that I had to turn away and when I looked at him again in a moment he was gently fingering one of Toodlums curls. ‘Pure gold, he said. ‘Worth more than anything in the world. Then he began to pace the office. ‘Now, let's get down to brass tacks, Tucker,’ he said. ‘You know I must know every detail of’ your proposition. I never invest blindly.’ Of course, I was only too happly to launch forth, and, well, the short of it is, my dear, he's actually ready to put in all the money 1 need. 1 don't believe he would ever have taken enough interest in the mat- ter to let me even sketch the plan if it hadn’t been for Toodlums, because he confessed that he had dropped in only because he had promised Richard he would, and he had expected to drop out almost as quickly as he dropped in but when he saw the wounded baby he couldn’t leave.” “Then, Fred, dear it turned out pretty well, my leaving her with you while I read my papers, didn't it?” Jm-y-es, it did, this time. But don’t you ever dare try it again, young OTHER VIEW POINTS Morton F. Plant has just buflt a fine hospital at Clearwater, on the Florida west coast, where he has ex- tensive interests. It was opened a month or two ago and was thus all ready to receive Mr. Plant's son and three of his guests when they were severely injured in_an automobile ac- cident Thursday.

The Telegram believes in pensions for olg, faithful city employes. After a man has dubbed along, say 20, 30, 40 or 50 years in the city’s service, he should be given some fitting recogni- tion. On this ground, why not tell off the graybeards who have served the city so unremittingly on the Mu- nicipal Ice Plant commission and give them adequate pensions? When were they appointed? Let's see, Was it just before the Civil war, or the War of 1812? Surely, the city ought not to expect them to totter along for- ever while the cruel Republican ma- chine cracks its whip and sings “Hurry, you slaves, hurry and get that ice plant for the city."—Bridgeport Telegram. Not since the first months of the war has much been said about the British cruisers lingering just outside the three-mile limit. In those days of long ago the watchers were very ac- tive, sometimes almost perniciously so. Lately they have not been active at all. But just last week a United States revenue cutter picked up four strange foreign buoys off the Amer- ican coast. No one knows how they came to be anchored in American waters. In the absence of any other explanation, it is surmised that the British watchers may have planted the buoys to mark the Hmit of the forbidden water. Planting of un- chartered buoys is a serious matter. It is likely to cause grave misunder- standing, or even serious accident.— Torrington Register. The strike spirit seems to be again in the ascendancy. Ansonia and Bridgeport have them, and fears are entertained that they will spread There is a strike in New London, but it is a case of freight handlers quit- ting, and is in no way assoclated with industrial unrest. It is factory strikes that are feared most. It is to be hoped that no extensive strikes will take place. IStrikes are a very bad thing for all concerned. The financial loss is great and usually bad feeling is en- gendered. Strikes are too ften mark- ed by violence that is deplored by all. It is not strikers themselves that com- mit acts which lead to trouble and riots. Outsiders, who have no interests at stake, are usually the ones who start the mischiet—New Britain Rec- ord. THE WAR PRIMER By National Geographic Socioty The war in Mesopotamian lands has meant new interest to the many peo- ples and tribes living in the great area inmediately east of Suez. Even the Bedouins have come to figure in one way or another in the news of the hour. The National Geographic So- ciety, of Washington, gives an inter- esting picture of their viewpoint upon the question of whether they are bri- gands and robbers or only a people enforcing laws which they have a right to make and execute. It says: “Although the Bedouins claim them- selves to be the descendants of Ish- mael, who@ the Angel of the Lord de- clared would be ‘a wild man; his hand will be against every man, and every man’s hand will be against him,” they declare themselves to be a peaceful people engaged only in collecting their legitimate dues from those who travel through their lands. “While the hundreds of caravans which have been held up and deprived of their possessions will probably dis- sent from their view, that view is glven here for what it is worth. The Bedouins contend that the des- ert is his land as much as America be- longs to the Americans or England to the English. He reasons that he has as much right to levy a toll on all who travel his way as a Western Govern- ment has to levy a tariff or to collect an excise tax. “He contends that every caravan entering Bedouin territory can, by the payment of a proper fee, secure from the nearest Bedouin sheik a passport which will entitle it to _safe passage through their territory.

But whether right or wrong, the Bedouin, in his reasonins, in his history, and in his geographic situation, is only of the most interest- ing of all those whose lives have been affected by the great war.” “Aden is the unhappy gateway in- to happy Araby, and, moreover, it is one of the foremost strategic points on England’s trade route through the Red Sea to India and the Far East,” begins a war primer issued today by the National Geographic Society at ‘Washington, which tells of the first stronghold on the London-India route to withstand a severe attack by the Turkg. “One Arabian author says of the country behind Aden, that coun- try known as Arabia Felix, ‘Its inhab- itants are all hale and strong, sickness is unknown, nor are there poisonous plants or animals; nor fools, nor blind people, and the women are ever youns; the climate is like paradise and one wears the same garment summer and er” Aden, however, where the ish and Turkish forces are oppos- ing one another, enjoys none of these advantages catalogued as inherent in Arabia Felix. “Spread over its ragged hills of sun- made ash and cinder, sweltering, gloomy, and unrelieved by vegetation, Aden invites little attention in peace times. ‘Aden is a valley surrounded by the sea; its climate is so bad that it turns wine into vinegar in the space of ten days,’ complained one disap- pointed Arab traveler of the Middle Ages. And in the centuries since his visit the climate has not improved in spite, nevertheless, of the terrible heat that gathers over Aden’'s valley and clings to its low hills and its lack of a good water suply, the place main- tains a reputation as a healthy one. “The town is built on desolate vol- canic rocks that constitute a peninsue la near the entrance to the Red Sea. The Strait of Babel-Mandeb lies 100 miles away; and Aden is the British Gibraltar toward the Indian Ocean that keeps an eternal vigilance over the safety of the rich English com- merce that goes this way. The Brit- ish captured and annexed the place on January 16, 1839, since which tffne they have made the place a most em- phatic fortress, one of the strongest anywhere in southern Asia. Money and labor without stint have been ex- pended there to make the city abso- lutely impregnable from land and sea. Massive lines of defense, strengthened by a broad moat, guard the neck of the isthmus, and these defenses con- ceal powerful batteries. Turrets, hid- den forts, mined approaches, bastions, towers, batteries, magazines, mol batteries toward the sea, mined har- bors, great naval guns, obstruction piers, barracks, redoubts in sold rock, al are elements in the British plan to guard this southern end of their im- portant trade route beyond all possi- .A YEAR AGO TODAY - Feb, 23, 1915.
