This directs increased thousht to the camp year in direction, a especiall; to the contest for a trophy which is awarded to the city each year which shows the-best results o lowing such an undertaking and wh been awarded to Ma year Hartford was honor, but it is ap) nt that Malden recog- nized the benefits which go with such a_camps & ated that 5730 backyards in Mald en were cleaned up during its fight for improveda con- ditions, all vacant lots have bee cleared, about a dozen parks and grounds have been renovated and ten objectionable dumps have been burned, it ean be appreciated that Malden had reason to do just v it did, and hav.- ing recognized the necessity of such move it is to be congratulated upon putting forth th nd for dis- playing t rought about nzt in nce and heaith cond There are ing that ¢ problem to henceforth m t be back and watch others it now consider: cleaned which ions. reasons for believ- negli- into be far more difficult to handle better tI there should be a sys- tematic ¢ p at stated periods and an insistence that once conditions are satisfactory that they be kept so, than to let things siide and wel- come the trouble which the metrovolis is mow experiencing. w York should have done its preventive work a long time ago and d oughly. it thor- ATTACKING TRADE SUBMARINES. That the allied nations will do all that is possible, even though that may be limited, to check the submarine merchantmen from Germany from get- ting past the blockade which has been established in the North sca must be conceded, and an interesting problem is again raised by this type of vessel and the fact that it has been devel- oped since the rules for conduct on the high seas were adopted. Being peaceful trade vessels, which is the class in which the Deutschland and other underwater boats of its type must be placed, they cannot be treated as war vessels and made subjects of attacks whenever and wherever they are discovered. In their case, as in that of all other merchantmen, there must be respect paid to the fact that they are trade vessels and they will have to be dealt with accordingly. During the submarine warfare which Germany conducted stress was placed upon the fact that no distinction was made between peaceful merchantmen,| and warships when liners and freight- ers were sunk without warning. Thropgh such methods there was no regard for the lives of the passengers and crews, which that country was duty bound to respect, and now that Germany has found a means of re- suming shipping, even though on a limited scale, the same rules which Great Britain insisted should beyap- plied to their trade vessels must be followed 'in.regard to Germany’s com- mercial ships. And this raises the.nteresting ques- tion as to what the proceedure should be in stopping these underwater boats. They cannot be sunk on sight should, they be sighted. They must be stop- ped the same as other ships and not be subjected to attack unless they at- iempt to flee, although there is no par- culam course which a vessel must et esessossoasessssd the targest} i i | " e ey U 916 teke in endeavoring to get away and the sinking out of sight must, {t is be- leved, be interpreted as an effort to get away as much as would be the taking of a new course by a ship that travels only on the surface. CONDITIONS WITH CENTRAL POWERS. Captain Koenig of the Deutschland in the course of the Interviews which since his submarine reached Baltimore calls attention to the fact that the central powers, while teeling the effects of the British block- ade, are fully protected against the policy of starvation which the allies In sup- port of his claims he states that the territory which has been acquired by the Teutons during the war—Poland, Servia and noshern France—as well as Bulgaria and Turkey are under cul- tivation and_ the crops which will thus be secured will overcome any possi- bility of Germany being brought to 1 knees by pressure in that direction, and there can be no doubt but what | that country fs utilizing every means that is avallable for its sustenanc but such claims, however, do nok ex actly jibe with the reports which are coming from that country or with the demands for relief which are ‘being made for Poland, Servia and Turkey regarding which it is insisted that fur ther contributions are urgent If the Deople are going to be prevented from starvation. From such a state of affairs it is to be supposed that Germany is going to use crops whic seing raised | in those countri.s ts own use, | leaving the people t to make the t of the situation or to rely upon ide contributions, while their reg- source of sustenance is den hem. In Germany itself the shortage of potatoes is a serious factor, agccord- The girl who likes to talk helped herself to another muffin and sighed. “I read a story the other day,” she began, “in which a man is dismissed as being beyond the pale, likewise be- yond contempt, because he was what the author called a phlumpadink. The word gave me a faint idea of the man.

Those industries which have com- pleted their war orders and are dis- mantling their plants are the ones which are going to get the benefit of the big business from abroad without paying the munitions tax. President Wilson certainly has his troubles in selecting supreme court justices. It was not long since many were telling him that his choice was bad and now the man whom he is about to name to fill another vacancy says the same thing of himself. From the way in which children of the metropolis are being brought into this part of the state, it behboves the health authorities of every town to see that the lives of others with whom they may come in contact are not en- dangered. There is a great opportu- nity for good preventive work.

Haven Register. Dicken’s Smokers. The “clgarettes” mentioned by Dick- ens In 1857 were “brown paper ci- gars,” an informant writes to the Lon- don Chronicle, and were evidently rolled by hand in the fashion not un- known today, though rapidly being superseded by the machine-mnde ar- ticle. In the first chapter of “Little,Dor- rit,” written in 1857, the viliain Rigaud in his jail at Marseill has tobacco brought to him with his rations and he rolls it “Iinto cigarettes by the aid of little squares of paper which had been brought in with it.” The scene, by the way, dated by Dickens “thir- ty years ago.” 'Whether the paper was white or brown does not apear, but it seems clear enough that the smokes in question, thus rolled in a prison cell, 2d more likenss to the modern clgar- e than to a cigar, although the novelist sometimes cails them little paper cigars. “Little Dorrit”, 1 think, adds the correspondent, is the first of the novels in which the word “cigarette” appears, although pipes and cigars are fre- quently mentioned, usually in the mouths of the morally less admirable characters. Mantague Tigg and Chevy Siyme both move in an atmosphere in which tobacco is added to frowsiners. Rogue Riderhood’s rascality is height- ened by his use of a pipe, and the depth of Quilp’s inhumanity is em- phasized by his abilities in the way character should awaken a widespread appreciation on the part of its people.

No More Back-Breaking Scuttles To Be Carried Up Those Cell ar Stairs If you buy coal in large quantities you must have room to store it; if in small quantities, it is expensive. When you want to use it you must ¢ it from its storage place to your range, and of all tasks that is one of the most weary. When you burn wood or coal you have the heat, dirt, and the trouble of atten ding to the fire. If you use gas you require ne room for storage; no back-breaking scut- tles to be carried from the cellar to the kitchen.
