With the additions to the train| wrecks, in which so many lives have been-lost and in which the failure of those in charge of the trains have ap- parently played such an important pert, it is but natural that there should be a revival of the demand for an automatic stop which would halt the train even when the engincer, either carelessly or unintentionally Tuns by signals set against him. It wasn't long ago that the New Haven road upon realizing the point of such a claim made an effort to get the inventors interested in devising an arranzement which would prove satisfactory and accomplish what was sought. It offered a substantial prize for a device which would meet the re- quirements but thoush several ideas were investigated none was acceptable. The demand for this automatic stop arose after a series of accidents in which it appeared that engine drivers were to blame in not obeying the reg- ulations or the signals, and this same situation is revealed by the recent wreck which occurred in Ohlo, when three New York Central trains were involved, the claini being that if the signals had been properly observed and respected there would have been no collision and consequently no_loss of life, and that inasmuch as it is possible to perfect a sigral system it ought to be possible for those familiar with automatic devices to perfecta stop whieh would work in connection with sighals in case the man at the throt- tle-8Hould fail from any cause what- evéE - Every wreck of the kind causes & fenewal of this demand and it is a matter which ought to get deserved attention. i . THE VERDUN FIGHT. If the fight which Germany is mak- ing’ for the possession of the French stronghold of Verdun there is no letup in the determined effort. In spite of the_great losses which have been suf- e for the amount of territory gained they continue to rush new di- vislons into the contest, and regard- less of the resistance which the Fréich are offering they are able to make progress even though it is slight. Little by little they are gaining pos- session of the vantago points, just as if they had come to the conclusion that It Was only by the slow grinding pro- cess that they could ever attaln their object. Gradually are the lines being ex- tended about Verdu, first on one side and then on the other. Bit by bit bave the Teutons pushed forward, and wherever they have been temporarily repulsed it has only meant that more determined efforts were made with the eventual result that they are steadily pulling down the obstacles which stand in the way. It cannot help being felt that they are paying a terrible price for whatever gains they are malking, but they apparently feel that they not only can but must meet it. THe French are having the advan- tage of the natural and artificlal de- fenses in that locality, which make it possible for them to get the most effi- clent results from a small number of men in comparison to the large nufa- bers which Germany is using and los- ing. Thus far the French have eeri- ously impeded the German onslaughts but they have by no means stopped them and it remains to be seen whether the slow eating process will eventually leafl.to victory, or whether the de- fenders are reserving their greater re- sistance for a time when it can be more effective. BIG EXPORT BUSINESS. A fow days ago rumors of peace wers stafted bocause a New Orleans busi- ness house had received the cancella- tion for a largo order for lumber, the conelgsion which was jumped at being that-gince the lumber contracted for could not be used the war was about to_end. There have been no subse- quent signs of peace, however, and there is no evhlence that there will be e untl some important victory been won. e rumor likewise gave ground for claim that our export business has run up into large fizures wolld' likewise feel the effects of a tion of peace and that was to a in extent borne out by the de- in January, but the figures ‘have just been issued by the ent of commerce for the of February set that all askew Js shown that in that short th for- i th ‘American exports reached the point in the history of the the tota] amount of goods reaching the sum of $409,- 25- which exceeds the previous mark for last December by-$50,- uted to the abnormal conditions cre- ated by the war, and nothing else. NO LEGISLATIVE ICOURAGE. 5 MENT. The impression appears to prevaill in certain quarters that because there bave been so many ships made un- available because of destruction or in- ternment that the opportunities for the American merchant marine which exist today are going to continue after the war. Tt is well to understand’ that this country has found itself handi- cappeg by the lack of merchant ves- sels. Its shipyards are crowded with orders in an endeavor to meet the re- quirements of the transportation bus- iness, and in some instances it is im- possible to get deliveries of much needed ships inside of three years, but the reasons for this activity on the part of American shipping is not be- cause conditions have been made S0 inviting in this country but because those countries, which have in the past made it advantageous for registration under their flags, are for the time being experiencing the disadvantages jm- posed by the war, as the result of which we are getting the benefit. The conditions are such that for the present the obstacles which have pre- vented the development of the Ameri- can merchant marine can be disre- garded, for rates are high and vessels are in demand, but following the war there will be a resumption of the old time competition. The shipping of this country must compete Wwith the shipping of countries which have the same old time advantages, if not more, and then there will be felt the full meaning of the failure to encourage American shipping. It is the war, not legislative action, which is boosting shipping in this country today, and when that war is over there will be a return to the normal, which, as the past shows, leaves the American ship- ping interests in an unfavorable posi- tion, FLYING ACROSS THE ATLANTIC. It was two vears azo that claims were made that it was possible to cross the Atlantic In an airship and considerable thought was given to such an undertaking, with plans being made for attempting it by the shortest route. Nothing came of it and the big flying machine America, in which the flisht was to be made, was sent to Europe for use in the war. In the meantime extensive experiments have been made with aeroplanes and the part which they have plaved in the war has demonstrated more than ever their servicability in making flights under all conditions, so that now when Rodman Wanamaker again revives the idea of crossing the ocean it creates less surprise than it d:d when the plan was first presented. In the matter of aeronautics this country has always been a leader, so that it is nothing new or would not be strange if such a feat should be accomplished by an erican, but with the ingenuity and ability display- ed by American inventors in this di- recticn it is surprising that this coun- try does not keep pace with the prog- ress made in the science in other countries. After the Wrights had demonstrated that it was possible to navigate the air by flying machines, the nations across the water were quick to real- ize the importance of the discovery and steadily improve upon it through extensive experiments und those gov- ernments are now getting the benefit of such work, while in this country almost all this development has been left to individuals and the aviation service in Mexico shows the effects of it. Thus it is but likely that if it is found possible to cross the water in flying machines that it will be the countries on the other side which will be the first to make commercial use of such an advantage.

Mr. Editor: The pen picture of Mr. Ayer of Yantic in your paper of March 24 of the condition of Norwich in the long ago was nice as far as it went, but there were other conditions he seemed to have overlooked. Now Mayor Mur- phy, being of the younger generation, was not conversant with the pork in- dustry at that time, and perhaps that is the reason f©e thinks North Main and Thames streets are so rotten at this time; and Mr. Ayer, being of the older generation, thinks they are bow- ers of roses. At that time, native pork sold for six cents a pound; today Ne pay twenty-two cents or more for imported hog; and the average age of the inhabitants then was 20 per cent. more than now, with modern conven- iences. In 1872 the population of Norwich was 16,650; in 1915 it was 28.219. If Mr. Aver will get the 1372 directory and read the names of the heads of families at that time, then get a 1915 directory and read the names in that, if he is able to pronounce more' than one-half of them without sneezing, he will know just what the increase is own value on the same. In 1872 we had seven national banks with a capital of $2,635,000: today we have three with a capital of $1,200,000. In 1872 we had a grand list of $15,- 199,672, with a city debt of $375,000, including gaslight, hydrants and some moon: today we have a grand list of $17,747,933, with a city debt of $1,567,- 105, outside of $400,000 first mortgage bonds of our gas piant, that they tell us we do not owe. In 1872 we had.37 ginmills; today we have 66, a substantial increase in the mill industry. In 1872 we had 31 physicians and surgeons, 18 nurses and two _under- takers to take care of the effects of the hog industry and outside toilets, a modern name for old-time convenience; today, with up-to-date toilets, back- aired plumbing, and no hogs, it takes 42 physicians and surgeons, 74 nurses and seven undertakers to do the trick. In 1872 we had nine drug stores to furnish the antiseptics to sweeten the atmosphere contaminated with hog; today we have 19 drug stores to keep pace with our modern sanitary im- provements. In_the long ago we school children all drank out of the same old water pail with the same old rustry tin cup, no nurse or medical inspector to keep the germs out of us; today we have medical inspection at’ $100, a nurse at $1,000, a milk inspector at $1,000 a year, with paper towels, dr:nking foun- tains, and no hogs to furnish_the germs; and we little ones scemed to enjoy life and staved as long on earth then as they do today. The only thing that holds good from the long ago is larkspur and rum. That is used in our schools today for the same purpose it Wwas used for then; substantial gains in all dlrections except hogs. In the times of the long ago the steamers City of Lawrence, City of New London, City of Norwich and Delaware, arriving at and leaving New York, with the steamers and ships of the J. M. Huntington & Co. line, built right here in Norwich, bringh cargoes of merchandise from the West Indies to be distributed throughout New England, loaded and unloaded at our river front. If Mr. Aver was around at that time he may be able to see that now they are gons as well as the hog pens. Mr. Editor, Mr. Aver, outside of the hog industry, does not know appar- ently much more about the Norwich of the long ago than a stuffed ham, and, living in Yandic and not being re- sponsible for the prosperity of the city of Norwich, just why he could be so grieved about city affairs, and the rote ten condition, that the average busi- ness man_cannot tell from roses (as seen by Mayor Murphy, after four years as mayor) is beyond comprehen- sion, as the improvements in his part of the town seem to be in the same condition, less the yellow flag, as it was when we old-timers used o go up to the Hyde tavern in the long ago; except the Badger family; they seem to be gone. ‘And now, Mr. Editor, with the hun- dreds of houses and business blocks and factories, and other improvements to offset the hog pens lost in the shuf- fle as far as the grand list is:con- cerned; as near as we can figure, the old wooden shacks, Holt's stable on Franklin square, and the hog pens in other parts of the cityseem to have been as good tax getters in the good old times as the modern buildings that have taken their places. The greatest need of Norwich is to have the as- sessors go among the business houses and manufacturers, take the amount of insurance they carry, and assess them on that basis, um:hey mu‘;:n‘ ely to pay any more insurance their business ia worth. Thia need of Norwich was not spoken of by any of the speakers at the last meeting of the Board of Trade. And when the grand list of Norwich is where it ought to be, at least $30,- 000,000, with a tax rate of 14 mills in- stead of $17,700,000, with a tax rate of 25 1-4 mills, Norwich will be on the map, and not before. The real boomers are not the husi- ness houses that insure their business for $40,000 or $50,000 and hand in a $12,000 or $15,000 list, but the common people that own their little homes that cost $2.500 and go into the tax list for $2,000. You may have all the civic bodies going, but, until the tax lists are put in at somewhere near their value, you can talk until doom's day about prosperity, and it will not amount to a row of pins against a 25 1-4 mill tax rat the town meeting, March 29, ir. Carroll's woolen miil prove And as to Mr. Aver's moral, “If you don’t want to see it, don't look at it,” it he will only give us another moral as to what to do with our smelling apparatus, so we cannot smell it, it will be all the glory anyone could de- sire.

Mr. Editor: There is no doubt spe- cial exemptions from tax are pernic- fous in their effect because they do not contain within themselves the principles of justice. The voters have a right to vote these exemptions, but why should they not extend $10,000 exemption to the new Hopkins & Allen Arms Co. as well as to this woolen company. Why not have a regular system instead of $75,- 000 to the Thermos Bottle company, $70,000 as an auxiliary investment to the Arms company, etc., ete. Why should new establishments be exempted from tax for 10 years and old, struggling concerns or new home concerns be given no consideration whatever. Is it not better to do things sanely and methodically rather than spas- modically in response to the argu- ments of hired agents? OBSERVER. Norwich, April 3, 1915. Stories of the War How Servians Have Suffcred.

It has become a common saying whenever inyone suddenly disapears to say hat he has ‘gone to Sofia’. As the hospitals are all lacking in sanitary cquipment, the Bulgarrians announced some time ago that the wounded would be sent to Sofia. It is believed that they have all been killed. “There was a massacre among the students at Skoplje.
