Connecticut will listen to noth- ing else. THE NA—VAL RESERVES. Not a little Interest is manifested in the month’s cruise which has been started by the civillans who have en- listed for the purpose of getting a bet- ter idea of naval requirements. This is to a large extent an extension of the Plattsburg plan and intendea to give 1 certain number of men who might some day be called upon for service in the navy a better conception of the actual requirements on board a war- ship. Even as it is possible to instill into the minds of the civilians the principles ’_\thch underlie~military - training “and |SOLDIERS SHOULD NOT LOSE t n Chinese and Japanese troops na will be, where a num- ber of lives were lost, remains | be seen. This fight started over the arrest of a Japanese | forming new ideas regarding the mean- army life, that they may be prepared if the time ever comes when they are needed to render service to their coun- try. equally effective can be the edu- cation for others which will be gained through getting into the harness and becoming acquainted with the actual operations of the floating fortresses. It will be a vacation but it will not be one entirely of ease and pleasure, There will be plenty to do and there will be lots to learn'so that when the month’s cruising along the coast is completeq those who embarked this week ought to bs found to make up a naval reserve which is something more than a body of citizens who are will- ing to respond to the defense of ‘the nation. Their experiences whether their time has been divided between deck scrubbing and lead casting, or de- voted to work in the turret or engine room should increase their knowledge of the war game on the high seas in a manner to make them i of much more value to Uncle Sam than if they had remained at home. VOTE. Many states are confronted with the problem of extending the franchise to the militiamen who are at the present time on the Mexican border. In some states provision is made for this very situation and the soldiers will have he privilege of voting just the same if they were back home and engaged in their daily pursuits. It is in the states where nothing of the kind ox- ists that this matter cught to get the most serious consideration and Con- necticut is one of these. The necessity of taking action de- pends entirely upon the time which the troops are to be retained in the south, but it i manifestly unfair that the thousands of men who are rendering service to their country should be de- prived of their right to vote. And this brings up the much tated question of giving those are away from home at election the privilege of voting by mail. This idea has gained much favorable con- sideration, with the proper safeguards to prevent any advantages being taken of the privilege. This is an idea which o agi- who time has been advocated strongly by trav- eling men who have found it impos- to zet back home at election. time who have therefore been forced to orego the privilege of taking part in ections even though that may mean vch to them. That situation pre- nils constantly, With the soldiers the ituation is unusual it if there is no provision to cover suén a situatlon at the present time it ought to be pro- by legislative act. THAT FIGHT IN CHINA. at the outcome of that clash merchant but it all undoubtedly is the outcome of the feeling which has been wroused in China over the increased interest which Japan has been mani festing in that country within the pas two years There may be much which needs to be brought to light in connection with t trouble, and it is of courss possible it muy be adjusted without serious consequences like many other attacks which are not supported by the gov- ernment, but which were brought rbout through the action of hot heads, but the experience of China is that such affairs have not always been so easily adjusted, and in view of Japan’s past titude it is entirely possible that it will be used as a lever for the bring- ing of greater pressure to bear upon China in order to have it comply with e Japanese requirements. China has paid well when it has taken the lives of subjects of other ns. There have been times when it needed just such lessons and few countries considered it advisable to follow the lenient course pursued by his nation after the Boxer rebellion, 1s is pointed out by the taking of Hong Kong by the British and the making of Kioachow a German naval base. Thus China has reason to speculate at the present time on what sacrifice it will be called upon to make for the killing of Japanese soldiers. EDITORIAL NOTES. Thus far there is nothing in a name which has served to stop the advance of the Russian forces. There must be countries which are ing of Russian efficiency. —_— - The experiences of those civilian na- val volunteers promise to be entertain- ing until they get their sea legs. The man on the corner says: No youngster is very proud of his tan when ‘he depends upon father for it. nothing which savors of Jjuice in the “punch” which Mr, | Hughes is putting into the campaign. There is It seems as if there was fighting enough going on without Chinese and Japanese troops mixing things up in China. There must be something the mat- ter when a whole day goes by without someone startling the country by spy- ing the Bremen. Hungary is apparently feeling a hit more nervous about the second Rus- sian knock at the door than it was when the first one came. If Norwich had only secured the deeper channel in the Thames it might be having some of the pleasure which other cities are indulging in in anti- cipation of the coming of the Bremen. The approval of the senate’s naval bill by the house indicates that at last there is recognition in Washington of doing something towards the provis- ion of an adequate navy. Just to absolve itself from all blame Turkey claims that there is no fam- ine or pestilence in Syria. Possibly it is prepared to announce to the world that there is no war. The country looks to President Wil- son to prevent the threatened railroad strike, but whatever the solution it will be only such as ought to have taken place without calling in the chief executive. Speaking of the approach of the R months, the Providence Bulletin thinks that “it may take more than oysters this year to make us forget the mos- quitoes.”” Good as they are not even a ; fell Rhode Island clambake can make one forget his experience with Providence mosquitoes, MARGARET’S SOLILOQUY Marglret sat in her room reviewing the events of tie last few months. Less than a year ago she had been a happy bride. Now she was expecting Ned, Lov husband, on the 4 o'clock train, to_adjust some matters before | she asked for a divorce. Yes, Margaret thought it over; it must be a divorce, as no self-respecting woman __could overlook Ned's transgressions. Marga- ret herself saw him kiss the dashing widow. It was true that the widow was dressed similarly to Margaret and that Ned was dreadfully near-sighted. It was also true that Ned was very much hurt at her lack of faith in him. She had gone to live in her country house while Ned stayed in town. He had plunged desperately in his work at the hospital and was always bu: but at times she was lonesome. Again she to musing. She wondered what she would do after the divorce was granted. She could devote her time to the “Cause,” but that didn’t interest her. She could go as a missionary to some foreign country, but that at- tracted her less. Suddenly she bright- ened. She owned her house and had quite a bit of money (she wouldn't | touch one cent of Ned's). Why not| adopt a few children? She would take a boy and girl first, and as they grew up she would take others. She was awakened from her reverie by the shriek of the locomotive. She took | her position at the window to watch for Ned just as ske had done in those few short months when they were happy. At least she was happy. As the people began to come from the train Masgaret thought she spied Ned but she must be mistaken, as this | man was carrying a bundle that looked just like a baby. But it was Ned He was cutting across the “awn just as_he used to do in the ofd day Margaret hastened down s rs and opened the door. “What have you there?” she gasped. Ned answered by putting his fingers on his lips. He ed that the baby /was t to slecp. Without a moment's Margaret took the precious Scated in his big bundle out of Ned’s arms and went in the house, with Ned following. She seated herself and began humming softly to the baby. After the baby fell asleep Margaret plied Ned with questions. “Where did you get it?” “Why did you bring it down here?” and many others. Ned told her that coming down on the train he sat beside a frail little lady who seemed on the point of faint- ing. He offered to hold the baby. He realized that the mother was very ill and questioned her. She replied that her husband had recently died and (a sob from Margaret) that she was travelling West to live with an aunt. While they were talking she fainted. Ned saw at once that she was too ill to travel. When she revived he made arrangements to have her sent to his hospital cn the next train back to the ity and he promised to keep the baby for her until she was well Margaret sprang up with the baby and rushed upstairs, with Ned follow- ing. She deposited the baby on her bed. She turned joyfully to Ned and cried, “Let me keep the baby for you!” She sent Ned flying for some pasteur- cd milk and Nora to the baby shop for an outfit for the little stranger. At sunset Margaret and Ned crept quietly upstairs. The bundle on the bed began to squirm. Margaret picked it up and turned a radiant face to Ned. He averted his face and walked to the other end of the room. He turned und looked wistfully at Marga- ret. It was too much. In a twinkling Margaret and baby hoth were in Ned's arms. “Won't you stay. too?” Marga- ot asked softly The baby cla tion and Ned med Margaret't atten- | left to find his pipe. chair, with the smoke curling about him, he murmured to himself: “That story must have sound- ed all right or Margaret wouldn't have believed it s 3 That little rse in Corridor 3 will be promoted tomorrow for lending me the little creature from the baby ward that did the trick.” THE EDITOR The Coming Republican Primary. | Mr. Editor: T read with much in- terest the two letters published in| The Bulletin some little time since, one | signed Hughes-Rooseveit Republican, | simply >li t| S Rept me that some others besides | re thinking of our present| ory local politicai condi- hinted the necessary drastic | to be taken, if are to| retain i st of mar the best | republicans in the com clection.

PROGRESSIVE REPURLICAN. Norwich, Aug. 16, 1916 Dr. Simon Flexner on Infantile Paraly- | sis. Mr. Editor: The head of the Rocke- feller Research ins has t led the world over to s dire dis- ease.

The nical | cours of the disease indicated an in- fectious origin, but up to very recent times no convincing knowledge con- cerning the nature of the agent caus- ing infantile paralysis existed. The epidemic of 1907 in this country, in France, in Germany, led to a renewed study of the nature of the infection, in the course cf which the more subtle and recent methods of bacteriology were employed These methods led almost s ously in the United States Lewis and myself, and in Landsteiner and Levaditi, covery that the infectious agent v an_extremely minute ro-organism, and readily passed through the pores of carthernware filters, and crnsti- tuted therefore an example of the so- called filterable viruses, of which at the present time scveral examples are known to cause infectious diseases in man and the lower animals. The fil- terable nature of the virus has now been confirmed wherever the subject has been investigated. On acquisition of the fact of the nature of this virus, and of the further fact, on which the discovery of the nature of the virus actually depends, that both the higher and lower monkeys are subject to the experimental disease, rest the recent great advances which have been made in the investigation of infantile paral- vsis. Experiments with monkeys, conduct- ed with extreme care, proved that in- fantile paralysis can be transmitted from one patient to another. So far as Wwe know it is one of the most minute organisms_known to cause disease. This conclusion follows from the fact that in aqueus suspension, such as is secured by preparinz an emulsion of the spinal cord in distilled water, it passes with great readiness, and with little or; no_ loss, ygt;potency through multane- by Dr. France by to the dis | tissue the pores of tke densest and finest porceiain filters, namely, the so-called Chamberiain filters.

An immune horse rum at first gave disapoointing re-| sults, but latterly its empl ment by intramuscular injection has given more promise. The point of departure which we have adopted is the drug hexamethly- enamin (urotropin), v h possesses a degree of antiseptic action in the body d is known to be sccreted into the cerebro-spinal liquid When the drug is administered by mouth it can be detected by chemical tests in the liquid in a short time. When innoculation of virus and administration of the drug are begun together, and the adminis- tration continued for some days after- ward, the development of the paralysis is sometimes but not always averted. Hexamethlyenamin lends itself to mod- ifications by the addition of other anti- 1 1 s in the nervous 1 becomes accessible only but probably v septic groups to its molecule, We have tested a large number of such modifications nad have found certain ones to exceed the original compound in protective power, while others pro- moted the onset of paralysis. None is wholly without some desree of in- jurious action upon_the sensitive and vital organs of the body. But manip- ulative skill has already succeeded in eliminating the objectionable and im- proving the valuable features of cer- tain drugs so that they exert little action upon the organs, but severely upon the parasite, when they become useful therapeutic agents.

The ballot isn't as sim- ple a matter as it was in civil war times; in some cases it isn't as short. And the voting machine, which many of the cities and some of the towns of Connecticut use now, has complicated the thing. How shall it be done? The vote of the men for presidential elec- representatives and judges of probate? all citizens of New Haven, for instance, manage to vote for their lo- cal officers and have their vote hitched up with the total of the voting ma- chines? Or shal! they be content to vote for national and state officers, and waive the rest? They might not agree to that, and there really is no god rea- son why they should. This, moreover, is only Connecticut. Citizens of many other ‘states, located at various points along the border, are in the same fix, and their state authorities face similar complications. It's all a great tangle, worse than the knot by which the an- cient king of Lydia yoked his oxen.

Today, after a little more than three ears of the Wilson policy, virtually every American has been driven out of Mexico. If any remain, they live in hiding and in daily peril of assassina- | tion. Their property has been pillaged | or wholly confiscated. The United States has twice invaded Mexico with armed forces and has been many times invaded by the armed erillas of Mexico. We _are mobilizing 150,000 troops on the Mexican torder and war has been made almost inevitable. And in the face of this President Wilson {ries % talk to American busi- ness men about the excellent trade op- portunities which he is preserving for them in Mexico! The explanation of what has hap- pened is that the Wilson administra- tion has been interfering in Mexican internal affairs from the very first day it has heen in office. It has promoted a petty revolt of professional bandits and radical political extremists whose Thie War A Year Ago Today August 17, 1915. Germans captured southwest front of Kovno, with 4,000 men.
