Just what new influence, if any, has caused Carranza to change his war- like attitude and announce that the United States prisoners who had been in custody at Chihuahua since the battle at Carrizal would be returned to this country in compliance with the demana of this government, is not dis- closed. Whether he has taken his cue from the preparations which are being made In this country to back 1p its demands by force, whether he has been guided by the sentiment which has been expressed by Central and South American cduntries that every- thing should be done to avoid a clash, or whether he reached the conclusion that he was totally unprepared to en- gage in a successful war with the United States is not indicated, but the step which he has taken relleves the tension and it 1s to be hoped that it means the turning point regarding the relations between the two repub- lHes. Being willing to give up the mem- bérs of the Tenth cavalry who were eaptured, it furnishes ground for the belief that he is prepared to go even further and use his best influence for smoothing over the crisls. While his attitude displays a wise decision, it Is to be noted that it is in marked contrast to the stubbormness which has characterized most of his previous ac- tions. There now, however, remains for adjustment the question of the punitive expedition. It was sent into Mexico for the punishment of those who violated border rights. It has been kept there to insure proper pro- tection and the attitude of Carranza In the past few weeks has demon- strated as nothing else the necessity of keeping it there as well as the strengthening of the border patrol. If the head of the de facto government Is willing to change his attitude rela- !ive thereto, and permit this aid in paking up for his own weakness and lack of control, the whole matter can wnd will be quickly adjusted. War sertainly can be avolded but the ques- don is, will 1t? — IN FULL ACCORD. There could hardly have been any rurprise following the announcement by Charles E. Hughes after his two ind a half hour conference with Theo- lore Roosevelt that they werein full ac- :ord, and that the latter wonld give his whole support to the candidacy of the 'epublican nominee. That such would ‘e the declaration has been manifest ‘or a long time. It was evident from he date when Justice Hughes was nentioned for the place. There were food and sound reasons at that time vhy Mr. Hughes could not come for- vard and state his position. He was testricted by the judicial office which le held and he proved true to. his sountry and to the supreme courttn he restraint' which he exercised. Conditions have however changed. r. Hughes has responded to the call i his party and he is free from the estrictions imposed upon the members if the highest court in the land that hey shall not take an.active part in iolitics and;in such-utterances as he ias made since that time he has hown. that?his Americanism is of the ghest type and that he is.the man 7ho can be relled upon “to give the ountry ‘the 'service that it requires rom its chjef executive. ‘Whatever doubt Mr. Roosevelt may jave had, if in fact' he really had any t all’ except what was prompted by ,aspects of the political situation, Be" been . dispelled. inownwhere ;the former Justice.stood ! he.gave wy,uaomt;whuwu- «to he positionihe "had ‘previously . uhn nd ver various states started .nerumuubfig in view of thé fact that it is the rail-’ roads which must do the transport- ing that they should be blamed for|p' what at first might appear to be an improper amount of preparation, but when thoughtful consideration is given to the matter it cannot but be real- ized that this lack ©f prepgration is but the policy which the government has been cafrying out and to which so much attention has been called' for meany months. It will never do to wait until the night before the troops are to be sent before getting in motion the machin- ery which Wil make available the|Ben.” Railroads proper number of cars. have been and are taxed to their limit for equipment and the way in Which this government goes about such work is in marked contrast to the methods adopted in other countries. Among the central powers everything is in readiness and everything must give way to the needs of the army in such an emergency. All transportation is held up while the movement of troops is underway. There has been con- sideration given to the’requirements before the day of departure, ‘There must be the same ‘amount of preparation to secure proper railroad facilities as there is to obtain the needed equipment and supplies, and it is because of it that so much insist- ence has been placed upon the im- portance of industrial preparation. The railroads have in most cases been found able to meet the demands far better than have the troops which have been called out been in condition for immediate response. A most valuable lesson in preparedness, if nothing else, has been taught by this prospect of trouble with Mexico. ITALY’'S NEW OFFENSIVE. First one theatre of the war and ‘hen another appears to be pressing forward and driving the enemy back. At one time it is the central powers that are making headway and then it is the allies and just at the present time the latter are particularly active on two fronts. Italy is again on the offensive and regaining much of the territory which it recently gave up to the Austrians. It is apparently showing that it car- ried out a strategic retreat umtil it could reorganize its forces and get a new start and now that it is again going ahead it is confident of much better resuits than were promised by endeavoring to hold its formier lines against tremendous odds. Following the Russian drive through Bukowina, it is possible to attribute this Itallan success to the fact that Austria had withdrawn a large part of its army for the purfpose of checking the invasion of General Brusiloff's forces, and such might be a reasonable explanation but for the fact that Aus- tria has itself asserted that it has not been forced to draw upon the troops which were engaged on the Italian front. Austria thus sets at rest such an idea, and it must be realized that no nation could engage in such a shift- ing of its troops without being threat- ened with demoralization and dire re- sulty. Thus it is not possible to deny Italy the full credit of such progress as its army is making. To do so would be to clalm an inferiority which has not been demonstrated. Rather is it to be believed that Italy has been bid- ing its time and in striking now it is doing just what was expected of it and doing it in a manner which more justly corresponds to the reputation of its army as a fighting force, even though Austria is engaged in serious combats on two fronts at the same time. EDITORH NOTES. Many a farmer realizes that he must do some tall hustling if he is going to make hay while the sun shines. The man on the corner says: Better babies movements would accomplish more if some easy way of cutting teeth were invented. If it was destined that there should be a railroad accident to Interrupt the progress of the Connecticut troops, it is fortunate that it took place be- fore they had efitfained. However much Carranza may be anxious to bring about a peaceful ad- justment there is no question but what there are plenty of Mexicans who are just itching for a fight. The capture of Kuty is clalmed by the Russians but there is something about that name which is not usually associated with war or with places in that part of the Austro-Hungarian empire. The county representatives in ses- sion here used sound judgment in d¢ laying actlon on the Niantic bridge matter. There was no reason for rushing into an uncalled for piling up of the county debt. Bven if there was a time when Car- ranza had control in his own country, the destruction of the United States consulate at Torreon shows that efther he has abandoned all pretense to it or else it has disappeared. If General Obregon plans to put the bad Mexicans in the front ranks so as to get rid of that element first, it remains to be seen how.long it will take to reach’the good ones, or if any such will be found. ‘Whether we, manage to escape.war ‘with Mexico, which Ambassador:Naon of Argentina says we will, Colonel Roosevelt, in asking permission to or- ganize a volunteer' diyision of 12,000 s carrying out'his promise. —— \What.can be the feeling. ot', zens of’a mulvdmu tures’ have:been:made He muyst have | 3 had just brougfithlhcmrdlb!flmuflofhflt know, my dear girl, that I mudia pre- fer comfort to fashion.” “You don't have to tell me that, ] “And 1 belleve I in entire sym- pathy with you, even if T don’t strew burned matches hom one end of Hill- top to the other.

This, the fourth city of Austria, is described in ite follow- ing war geography bulletin of the Na- tional Geographic Soclety, issued from its Washington headquarters: “When the fortifications of the in- ner city of Lemberg were dismantled in 1811 and the space which they oc- cupied was converted into promenades for the prosperous citizens of this Galician capital of 200,000 in- habitants it was doubtless assumed by many tkat, having suffered ‘the sling and arrows of outrageous for- tune’ for the first five centuries of its municipal existence, fate would allot it a surcease from siege and capture. “Lying 60 miles almost due east of Przemysl, and more than ¥ miles of Vienna, Lemberg \is situated on the banks of the Peltew River, and afflu- ent of the Bug It nestles in a small valley which opens to the north, and is surrounded by hills, the most pic: turesque being the jpvell- Franz-Josef Berg, to the northeast. To the East, a distance of 87 miles, is Tarnopol, near the Russian border, one of the first points of attack when the Muscovites recently pushed be- yond ‘the Galician frontier. “A description of the modern city of Lemberg as it existed in August, 1914, requires many modifications to- day, for the scars of war are to be found in its many handsome homes; its broad, well-paved streets; its Roman Catholic cathedral, a hmd- some gothic structure w in 1480; its Greek cathedral” completed ! in 1979; its Armenian cathedrel in the Byzantine style, dating back to 1437, and 1its magnificent monuments to such Polish patriots as King John 111 Sobieski, vlho after having saved Lemberg from ‘the eame enemy a few years previously, in 1638 saved all Europe from Mobammedan invasion by routing an army of 300,000 Turks encamped about Vienna, his own forces numbering only 70,000, “Called Lwow in the Polish tongue and Leopolis in Latin, Lemberg was founded by a Ruthenian prince in 1259. Nearly a hundred years later it was added to the domain of Casimir the Great, who bestowed upon the city the charter and privileges widely known during the middle ages as the Magdeburg Right. "Followan‘ the fall of Constantino- trtde with the East, but it was caught in the maelstrom ‘of rebellion and pillage which swept over the Ukraine, and a part of Poland during the last half of the seventeenth century, when the Cossack hetman, Chimielnicka, was ?xrec’nng the lnmmien of the ‘serfs’ ury. ‘Lemberg was one of the Polish cities to fall before the arms of Charles XN of Sweden when the ill~ advised - Augustus TI was drawn into the Great Northern War, which de- vastated central Europe for the first twenty years of the eighteenth cen- tury.

WILIAM A. ATKEN. Norwich, June 29, 1916. l Stories of the War * I Fighting in Darfur. The brilliant little campaign in Darfur whidh ended with the defeat Dby the Britisk troops of Sutan Al Dinar on May 22 will bring under British domain about 160,000 square miles of territory inhabited by a pop- ulation estimated at between 2,000,000 and 4,000,000. Descendants of the Sul- tan Mohammed have ruled in the country for_approximately 400 years. Until 1874 Darfur was entirely inde- pendent, but then it was conquered by the notorious slave-dealer Pasha, who carried on a savagely- cuel rule of terror over the natives under the nominai suzerainty of for ten years until he was ousted by the Hahdi. At that time Slatin Pasha the Austrian-Egyptian, was the official representative of the Egyptian gov- errment. ‘When the Anglo-British forces later ggjfi Pure Zobeir really pure, that is not over stimulous, is pleasant to take, and produces no unpleasant after effects is especially valuable in con- valescence.
