THE DEUTSCHLAND'S DEPART- - 'URE. . In view of alljthe activity that taken place in -submarine operations during the European war, the efforts made by the allies to crush the com- merce of the central powers, the part which the neutral nations have been called upon to play therein for the protection ef their,own rights and the last effort which Germany has made to mullify the blockade by its com- mercial underwater boat, it is but nat- ural that there should be at this time + widespread interest in the return Jrip of the Deutschland which is about b0 be made. The getting away from Chesapeake bay and the clearing of the three- mile limitiis even a greater task than was faced!in departing from Bremen, for while it was necessary to get through the blockading fleet of the British in the North sea, there were less definite facts in connection with it in the possession of tre allies than there are at the present time, when it is known that the departurc can be spected from a certain port, that it # actually going to be attempted and the course to bo taken can be sur- mised with a greater degree of cer- lainty. The advantages of obscurity which fo with. an undersea boat are of tourse all- with the,German merchant- man. It likewise enjoys the protec- Hon of this country out to a certain boint and it can be expected that there will- be just as much cunning dis- by the blockade runner -as by ships which are determined to 1o all possible to stop it, and with ihe ability to sink out of sight.and to aoceed under - water, the odds may ‘asily Lo.considered to lie with the ubmarine.

There has been re- vealed the Tesult of shunting to one side the maintenance of this part of the national defense and the advisa- bility of overcoming it. According to the senate bill there are many more ships called for than was at first proposed. The admin- istration plan has been found to be inadequate. We are weak in various branches of the navy. We need battle cruisers, more dreadnoughts, more submarines, a larger number of men to man the ships already available as well as those on the ways and those to be built and a development of the aviatian branch of the service. By the provisions of the bill there would be authorized 157 ships which would be laid down, according to the plan in three successive years, and it is gratifylng to note that this matter is being considered on other than strictly partisan lines. It is an atti- tude which should be not only able to secure the passage of the bill in the upper house but by both houses. It is for the country's interests. The need of the improvement has been conclusively shown and there ought not to be any further delay. It is go- z to cost some money but in view of the security involved that can get but secondary attention. SOME HOT WEATHER “DON'TS.” When the hot weather strikes on it always brings with it new problems, but there is much that the individual can do to protect his health and nul- lify the effects of the torrid spells if he will give proper thought and at- tention to it, even though that is y what ought to be done resard- less of what season of the year it is. If protection and preservation is important at all times and for that reason there is much worthy of con- sideration in the list of “don’ts” which has been put forward by a health de- partment in one of the large cities. This advice say “Don’t expose rays of the sun. Don't take ice-cold drinks. Don't take stimulants during extremely warm weather. ‘Don’t overtax vourself, either men- or physically “Don't overload the stomach. Eat sparingly and eat slowly, and be sure that you thoroughly masticate your feod. Don't bathe on a full stomach. ‘Don’t sleep in a draft. “Don't look at thermometers. ourself to the hot the Jjustly treated in this country. The most regrettable outcome of the conference between the garment workers and manufacturers in New York is that they failed to reach an agreement. he public works department gives faithful attention to the moking of the parks about the city, but it seems to forget that the cut grass ought to be raked up. That wholesale shooting affray in Chicago shows that religious fanatics are as much of a menace to the inno- cent as some of the savage belliger- ents in Europe. Even though Castro has been per- mitted to enter the country, it is not to be expected that a series of recep- tions will be arranged in his honor during his stay. It is said that lack of action makes the boys on the border impatient, but they can get some consolation out of the fact that it improves their chances of coming back alive. 1f it is so that the Gulf Stream had taken a new course and is hugging the shore, it is time that some new regulations regarding spooning should be placed in the rules of the sea.

The habit of opening your mouth as carefully as you do your purse is a good habit, but gossips and tattlers have never acquired it. The best that is in a man is heraided from his mouth, and so is the worst. The tonzue can express words which will _excite world-wide applause, or world-wide derision. The science of the diplomat is expressed in words— so_is the folly of a fool. It is a good rule never to talk unless you have something to talk about. Too many people just like to hear themselves talk, but if most pafiticians could hear themselves talk they would cut out most of it.

It was Bacon The name American is our proud inheritance, and it cannot be hyphen- ated with any other name as an ad- denda any more than the Stars and stripes can be flown beneath the flag of any other nation. Washington in his farewell address to the people in 1796 said: “The name AMERICAN, which belongs to you, in your national capacity, must always exalt just pride of patriotism, more than any appella- tion derived from local discrimina- tions” We were Americans in 1796, we were Americans in 1896 and we are Americans in 1916.

Norwich, July 21, 1916, Protection Needed for Drivers of Horses. Mr. Editor:—In the discussion over the city traffic ordinances there has not been mentioned the fact that those ordinances are not complete nor do they cover all the ground necessary until some protection is given to the drivers of horses. To be sure, I speak for a very small and fast diminishing number of people, but, yet—horse own- ers are citizens and we have our Tights as well as pedestrians and au- tomobile owners.

Norwich, Relief for Jews of Poland. Mr. Editor: Would ask you to al- | low me to speak a few words in your ued paper of which I am a con- nt reader. To my TFeilow Jews as well as to the Public in Genera nd American Citizens: h to bring to you the unspeak- ppeal of the Jews in Europe. the day of the American Jew !in Charity and it should be as well of | the American citizen in the last ap- eal of human sympathy. The history of the Jew in the history of this ti- tanic and satanic war across the seas has been the Iliad of nations writ in ie sorrows of a_heroic and uncon- querable race. We have heard the story of Belgium chanted in miseries of the woes of men, and America’s answer has followed swift and sweet upon the appeals of Belgium. But the Jews of Poland and Galicia have suf- fered as the Belgium martyrs never did. The Jews of Poland, unlike the Belgians have had no England to fly to for relief. Walls of distance and pyramids of steel and cannon have shut them out from human assistance. They have fought for the people un- der whose flag they live on either side, fought without tho consolation of fighting for their own hearts, or for military glory, or for the hope of Te- ward, or for a place in history. They have’ fought blindly and devotedly, with the faint hope that after the strusgle they might receive a modicum of the clementary rights of which no other people have ever been deprived —the right to live, the right to edu- cate, the right to prosper and the Tight to worship God under their conviction and their conscience. FHundreds of | I | | | Sunday Morning Talk THE SWORD BATHED IN HEAVEN. The prophet, Isaiah, was often dis- couraged by the blindness and per- versity of his fellowmen, but he never lost confidence in the ultimate tri- umph of righteousness. In his view, ev device of wicked men was rid- ing to a fall because the arm of omuipotence was unveiled against it. Reinforcements without limit were available, when the cause of God demand them, seemied to flourish like the green bay tree, it was only for a time, ed and shipped as freight. less fortunate, have been driven on foot. No age, nor status, nor condi- tion has saved or spared the Jew. The old with their tottering _limbs, the ck women in mortal labor, and the children in suileless helplessness- have been shuttled from place to place hout food or clothes or help. At st the Jewish army of refugees, more than 100,000 in Warsaw alone, were given 7 1-2 cents a day; later in numbers multiplied and sufferings in- creased, the allotment was reduced to 2 1-2c a day. Jews by the hundreds of thousands are homeless and starv- ing and dying of hunger in countless places, and this notwithstanding that the Jews in every country have fur- nished in proportion a larger share of the fighting armies than any other element of the population and that their blood has been shed upon every tleficld of Europe. That 700,000 Jews in the Eastern 'War Zone are in urgent and continuous want is the statement contained in the annual re- port of the German Hebrew Relief Association recently issued in Berlin. Of the normal total of about 2,450,000 in_Poland, Lithuania and Courland 1,770,000 remain, says the report; about half ‘a million are in Poland, and 50,- 000 of this number are persons with- out homes and in particularly dis- tressing circumstances. The report discloses that about $125,000 monthly is required to alleviate the distress of the most needy, and that this can do little more than keep them from act- ual starvation. Never in human his- tory has the appeal to human charity been so pitiful and appealing as it is today. Yes, let the 23rd of July be to the Norwich Jews as well as Nor- wich citizens the day of charity. Pat- ronize the picnic and bazaar ‘which has been arranged by the Iederated Jewish Relief Committee of Norwich at Richard’s Grove, near New London, in order to raise funds so it may feed the hungry, cloth the naked, shelter the homeless, starving Jews over the other side of the seas. You may say you have already given all you can afford? Can you afford to allow wom- en and children to starve while you say it? You say we have our own lo- cal_charities to care for? Face your God and say that you cannot afford to assist the other. millions who are starving outside our gates. Trusting that you will favor me with the above request, and place same in a notlceable space in the name of the Tederated Jewish Relief Committee, and in the name of the Central Relief Committee, and in the name of the suffering men, women and children, allow me to thank vou for your val- Others, ued space which you allowed us.

To change the figure, we can row with courage in very rough water if we know that the tide is setting with us and not against us. One is not dismayed by the eddies that play on the surface, if the deeper c ts are bearing us toward the shore. Prophets of this_twentieth century are hardly fit for b they be- lieve that the cosmic set of things is toward good. The reformer needs to know that he has struck a partner- ship with that “Power not ourselves, that makes for righteousness’” He must realize that he is not set to the nerve racking, heart Dreaking job of pulling all his' days against the tide.
