The filing with the interstate com- merce commission by the New Haven road of new demurrage rates which provide for a car charge of $5 a day in addition to the regular demurrage charges, and effective on the sixth day after the placement of the car may seem a bit stiff on hasty consideration, but when it is understood that the congestion on the railroads and the inability to get cars with which to move freight are due to a large extent to the fact that cars are not unloaded when they should be, the wisdom of the action and the justice of the charge are shown in another light. Appeal after appeal has been made by the railroad in an effort to secure such cooperation on the part of the shippers and receivers of freight that this serious handicap would be over- come. It has met with some response but apparently. there are those who either will not or cannot speed up the unloading of the cars and are penfect- ly willing to pay the existing demur- rage charges in order to use the cars as a place to store their surplus material, and it is such cases that the new ruling is intended to reach. When cars are tied up it he- comes necessary for the road to pro- vide others, in so far as it is possible, and it is this tying up of the rolling stock which bothers transportation, and for which the railroads are blamed, but if there was an extra ef- fort made upon the part.of the ‘con- signee to immediately release cars a serious difficulty would be overcome. Unable to change | this ccndition alone the New Haven road has been forced to do something besides appeal to those who, are causing the conges- tion. For that reason the charge has been placed high, but it can be avoided and unquestionably the road prefers the cars to the demurrage charge. It ought to result in those who send and receive freight appreciating the im- portance of keeping the cars moving. PEACE MUST BE PERMANENT. United and determined bave been the entente allies from the openingr of the war.‘ Their decision to stand or fall together is adhereq to as faith- fully today as the day it was rendered. This is perhaps no different than the attitude of the central powers, for there has been no backsliding among those nations, but the number of the entente nations is much larger and therefore the fact that they have not wavered in their allegiance is more striking. It was only a short time ago that Premier Asquith of Great Britain had something to say about the unity of the allies and in speaking for the Brit- ish he declared that there would be no separate peace and that terms of peace would not be arranged until such a time had come that it would be permanent. That is the same position which ‘President Poincare of France has just taken in the address which he made at Nancy. This' is not to be inter- preted as meaning that these countries do not want peace, but that they are convinced that their cause is right, that they have the confidence that they will win and that they will not agree terms of which are to ?gfls § ??EEEa f* 1N well says: “If we are all brothers, and We are, have we'a right to live on in the comfort and luxury of America and allow these people to starve? 1 do not think we have and it is our duty—and it is our privilege—for each of us to assume the guardianship of as many war sufferers, either there or elf'he'm,\u is possible.” Ppeals are likewise being made for the continuation of the work in Bel- glum, in Servia, in Poland, for the re- lief of suffering through hospitals and the extenslon of assistance to the Wwidows and orphans in all countries involved in the war. There have been many demands. There have been gen- erous responses, but the end has not been reached and there is a constant opportunity for the continuance of this most worthy work. - BE KIND TO ANIMALS. This is the week which has been designated for observance ‘throughout the country as Be Kind to Animals week which will conclude with Hu- mane Sunday. The movement is by no means a new one and from the fact that it is being continued there are reasons for believing that it has been the means of bringing about desired results. It is not to be supposed that this is the only week throughout the year when people are.supposed to be kind to -animals, or that they are expected toward them during this period than at other times, for there are certainly other seasons of the yvear when they are in need of better treatment if there is going to be any variance regarding it, but through the creation of greater interest in such a matter there is bound to be that increased attention given to such matters which will have a lasting effect from one year’s end to another. The movement is entirely educa- tional. It has accomplished great re- sults in the past and it certainly should be continited. There are few communities today which do not have representatives of some humane so- ciety. The time has gonme by when people can be as cruel as they like to animals and not hear from it, but there is still plenty of opportunity for extending the good work and seeing that dumb animals get reasonable pro- tection. It is only such an accompani- ment as should go with civilization to show a greater desree of kindness | tive door. said, politely, like to enter, and ‘at that h back to his work with an air disclosed what he’d like to fool women—remove them, baggage, from earth’s afili face! “Just as I had broken the news to them that they had put the dining room tapestry on the front bedroom walls a woman stuck her head in at the door.

If only one foot was sawed off the sideboard in the dining room there would ‘be: room for my eerving table, which is mahogany and belonged to my grandmother. “‘That is’ continued the woman, who had rentdd the flat, ‘the man she married had an aunt who inherited a sideboard that wouldn't begin to go into anybody’s house nowadays, let alone an apartment, and, anyhow, she had two daughters, so he had it di- vided and gave each one half. One of the daughters died of some awful lingering disease, and that's how my grandmother’s husband happened to get it.

When will they be here to do it—" i “But” I began desperately. “‘And they didn’t give me the kind of paper I wanted last year, so I know you won’t mind doing over the living room and_dining room. Oh, how do you do, Mrs. White? she ended in frosty tones as another lady pushed inside the door. The new arrival’'s nose fairly quivered with dislike as she stonily watched the departure of the first woman. “ don't like to tallk about my neighbors,’ the second one began, ‘but there are some things 1 won't take from a person like that! You needn't quote me, but T have it on very good suthority that they haven’t paid their Tent for three months, and I'm sure I dow't see why owners should display favoritism like that!

Thus far there has been no great demand reported for sunburn lotion. It is of course to be realized that every rainy day keeps the dust from filing the streets. From the series of raids it appears that New London needs outside help in order to get and to stay cleaned up.
