Provision must, be made, however, to see that conditions do-not exist in this as has recently been brought to light among the militia of the states along the Mexican border, whers many of the national guard have failed to re- spond to the eall of the president and court martial proceedings are now un- derway. This has shown that there is need of the federalization of the militia of the states. It has brought to light a wedkness which ought not to be concealed longer. New York should .also see, while it is organizing these citizen police that such a situa- ton cannot result if, or whenever, that.body is called upon for service. Théy must be home defenders in fact and not solely in name, SUBMARINE LINERS. It may seem a bit improbable when it is claimed that submarine liners are béing considered for service between Burope and this country in order to overcome the British blockade of the central ‘powers, ‘but in view of the marked development which the under- water boats have undergone, onc hesi- tates to say that it cannot or will not be done. The submarines were first intended for harbor defense and those of this and other couhtries were limited to a certain tonnage, but ft has been dem- onstrated during the war that subma- rines of much larger size can be oper- ated with suceess and with perfect freedomi and ease on the open seas. That -they can.cover long distances has been fully demonstrated in the operation of German submersibles about the British Isles -and- in the sending of such vessels around into the Mediterranean. It is apparently but a matter of storage capacity for fuel as to the distance théy can cover and fnasmuch as ocean going boats of that character have been developed for war service, it is not beyond the bounds of possibility to believe that they can be constructed for the carry- g of cargoes, especially during an emergency. As it is of course that condition which Germany faces; it can be ap- preciated that a fleet of such “lners” ‘capable of plying on the surface when no enemy vessels are in sight or like- 1y to be-encountered, and able to sub- merge when danger threatens could do considerable towards relieving a shortage in many lines, and particu- larly ‘that of meat, from which Ger- many is at the present time suffering. In these days of surprising develope ments there is no telling where the limit is, and untll it has been tried and shown to be a fallure the sub- marine liner for getting through block- ades cannot be lauched at.

This years hor- tioultural show at Boston revealed that a number of horticulturists have named their new hybrids and other plants after persons engaged in or in some way related to the war. _There is the “General Joffre,” a new rose of deep red, cultivated by A. N. Pierson of Deep River, Conn.; “Preparedness” a new carnation; a new hybrid Cattel- ya orchid, “The Kaiser”; a remarkable Cattelya named “General Petain,’ in Honor of the defender of Verdun, as well as the “Queen of the Belgians” orchid which was sold for $1,000 to Bdwerd Harkness, this sum being do- nated by the grower to the Red Cross. e <Henry Ford” orchid is a deep is a deep red sladiolus. doubtless many other names of flow~ ers traceable to this same influence and we shall not be surprised if an- other season some ‘of the new hybrid seeding dahlias of 1916 take on the names of popular heroes or able plead- ers for peace. This habit of talking to one's self doesn’t seem to be a bad habit, but it is not without the element of peril, because perscns who think themselves to be alone say things in confidence to themselves they would not care to have others hear. What do you sup- pose such people talk about? Well, they may like to hear talked out loud their trials, their worrles, their abuses, or the opinions of all things they do not care to air in the presence of others. A habit of song ,or of repeat- "ing pleasing quotations, ‘or even of whistling, is much better, because the mind that worries and frets itself is in very bad business—it makes toil more wearing, it makes of existence a nightmare. You may think some folks cannot elp it; but I fear they do mot fry.

Proctor came to Norwich the shipbuilding plant at Thamesvill — anny holds sway. England has no more use for the principles we cher- ish than has Germany; and all the European . powers would like to eee forever crushed out the freedom which our forefathers established in the name of God and humanity. One potentate has told his people that by becoming Americans they degrade civ- ilization; and the rest of them would doubtless endorse this. If we are Americans we must be oternally on the ‘defensive, or we shall be lost. The one surprising thing about the very worst pictures we have ever seen at the movies is that word “censored.” This means, of course, that the plc- ture has been passed by a competent board of critics, and as there is noth- ing educative or clean or particularly amusing in the picture passed, the soul of humor seems to glow from this one word—censored. A thing which has no good excuse for existence that has been passed by a board of com- petent judges leaves a pretty stiff in- ference of incompetence at the end of the exhibit. Perhaps the censors are s0 afraid they may be considered ab- hormally prudish or weak livered by the big-hearted, broad-minded open- harded, red-blooded _speculators in vulgarity and horse-play, that they do not dare do what an active conscience or a clean heart would prompt them to. Tt might be enlightening to see the censors. Would it not be a good plan to have their pictures appended to the picture censored just as an ev- idence of good faith. Sunday Morning Talk KEEP THINKING. “Legally, a man is alive till he is we are doing to ourselves. We have the power to weave misery out of a very slight thread of thought, and we “ean find joy even in anticipation. As creatures of power we should be careful how we use our power. A great-many people are inclined to think that they will be rewarded in the future life for the sufferings they have endured in this. It is a comfort- ing thought, but it depends very much upon who is responsible for their suf- ferings. ‘When you come to realize that man is the architect of more than half of his woes vou feel quite certain that he will receive no rewards of merit for his own errors. The per- iod of growth of a human soul is from the day of birth to-the day of judge- ment, and under divine guidance a great deal in the way of development may Dbe accomplished in that time; and much that is distressing be avoid- ed or overcome. Since the population is much made up of the quick and the dead, it 15 to be expected that the first ‘will be ‘alive to every divine im- pulse, while the last are prone to let the Lord do it in spiritual matters, and to leave all the fest to George! Spiritual laziness isn’t any more dom- mendable than any - other kind of ing, but it is not so -persistently led as the idleness which puts a light upon mortal Iife.

Really, he is alive only as long as he continues to think. When the mind ceases ra- tion, ‘to all intense and purposes, life ceases, even thoush that machine éall- ed the body runs on for a few years more. Over his mental activities one has a large degree of \control, far farger ian that over his bodily functions. To bid your human toiler to keep breathing is an idle command, since nature, sooner or later, is bound to check "that process of his physigue once and for all. But never in the length of this earthly span, or beyond it, need man's mind cease to do its appointed work—save in sickness or in sleep. There is every inducement and necessity for him to keep think- ng. A suggestion of this sort is most ap- propriately taken, of course, by those who need it. The advice is not meant for nervous, introspective folk who worry out laborious days and finally take their problems to bed with them. It is for those to whom worry is a stranger, whose mental outlook be- comes continually more restricted and whose mental powers become contin- ually more sluggish with the passing years. If one may venture to say so, there are multitudes whose minds appear to have suffered the penalty that at- taches to disuse. Examination of a cross section of the brains of count- less well-fed Americans might reveal these tissues as threatened witl atro- phy. The thinking apparatus has grown soft and flabby, as any muscle of exer- cise. It is possible so to squanderone’s mental patrimony that it approaches the vanishing point, a wasteful pro- cess in which many a youth Is en- gaged. It is generally later rather than earlier that the folly of the waste becomes apparent. Having ,bound ught through no problems, -overcome no obstacles, | one comes to adult years demanding a mature and responsible place in the world. He awakes to find that such place awaits him because he has never qualified to fill it. He has been suffering an unconscious loss of pow- er.” Instead of advancing he has stood stagnation in the indi- 1 is disappointing, in the mass it cely to be also dangerous.

Mr. Procter says that the Utility was the ldst large boat bullt at the yard in Thamesville. It is an interesting indication of the changes of the years and the altera- s as this nation of ours progresses that almost on the site where Mr. Proctor and his associate workers were busied constructing sea craft which did_their part in the country’s defense during the Civil war, at present Edson F.-and_Denison Gallaudet should be engaged in building aeroplanes, espe cially powerful seaplanes for the navy, destined also to carry the name of Norwich far and to, success, in modern methods of the same defense of eoun- ‘As Mr. Proctor recalls it, the Zigzag was a small boat, about 30 feet lons, built at the yard for use only on the Thames river. A Savannah, Georgia, paper of about 1862 or '63, has an interesting reference to one of the Norwich-built craft, under the head of “‘Another New Steamship.” The article reads: We announced yesterday that an- other new steamship for the Pioneer Line was expected and would leave this port on Saturday next.

Mr. Editor: Apropos of the discus- sion of sheep-killing by dogs in your paper, I do not know whether it comes within the province of the hu- mane societies, but if they could take a hand in the game, and see tifat a good fine is exacted of the owner who does not adequately protect his sheep, ‘whether in safe and sufficient pastures or by a powerful sheep-dog, or if ‘would change the town laws so that the towns shall refuse to pay damage un- less it was known proved that the owner had protected and cared for his sheep as above, I think that there would be a great deal less of this sheep-killing by dogs as well as less expense to the towns than in the I do hot think that it speaks well for progressive and humane New England that such a state of affairs is allowed to continue.
