This looks very muech ifke passive submission to say nothing of himself a measure which he took pains to let it be known that he wanted to become law, and whioh efforts now are open to the charge of being a bluff. The Webb bill is sought as an amendment to the Clayton anti-trust law which will permit trade combina- tions against similar combinations in foreign countries. It is proposed for the purpose of aiding and stimulating forelgn trade and giving Americans the same chance as others. It is pos- sible that such can be carried on with- out interfering with existing law, in which case the bill would simply per- mit what might be open to question, but it is apparent that the adminis- tration is unwilling to either clear up the point or to give the desired help to American industry. MANY SUFFER BECAUSE OF THE FEW. It makes little difference where the community is, whether it Is in the east, on the west coast or in the cen- tral part of the country, inquiry will show that there is no end of com- plaint over the thousand and one reg- ulations which have been established and which are being added to con- stantly regarding highway traffic. There was never such an array of rules, or such a list of do’s and don'ts, and in spite of all that is said against them, it will not be argued that they are not necessary. The automobiles, increasing in number each year, have brought about the change, or rather shouid it be said that it has come as the result of the methods used by the operators thereof in disregarding the rights of other ugers of the streets and highways and the large number of fatalities and ac- cidents which followed as a natural consequence. It is not to be supposed that the automobile driver is legis- lated against simply because he hap- pens to guide such a machine, and it is a well known fact that there are hundreds of requirements which might as well not encumber the statute books or be added to city ordinances as far a the majority of auto drivers. are concerned. It is that class of automobile own- ers or drivers who do not propose to be restricted in their recklessness un- less are forced to do so who are for the increasing com- of the auto driver's life. It is where the many have to get and keep in mind all the observe what might less restrictions, be- 1ct of a few, but it be THE SAME OLD ATTITUDE. effort that is ma y to get ship of the It is such cooperation w d shoulder w nonths a persistently this coun- s country. ¥ enough he of it, and co in refus- of this HINDENBURG DO IT? ith the situation ing to note t Germans to carry ortant salient is attributed to hi of Staff Falkenhay: Germany of course could not b pected to g‘ it to the strength and better strategy of the French.

It may be tbat von Hindenburg has not been in charge of his new post long enough to make any radical changes but it is apparent that the entente powers are taking full advan- tage of the situation and are steadily making progress towards their objec- tives Bapawme and Peronne. Cermany has been kept on the de- fensive now for a number of weeks. The allles by their .concerted attacks along all fronts have upset the plan under which Germany was fighting, and under which it shifted its forces from one [section to another as the separate drives were launched. Whether von Hindenburg can over- come this advantage remains to be seen and. for that reason the blow which' he-is expected-to makes eager- ly awaited. THE WEBB BILL. How, thespresident changes his mind In“regard to legislation is disclosed by te position which he has taken in re- gard to the ‘Webb bill. It was orly a tew days that he was urging its pass- rge upon congress and lending his support ip its behalf. There was a dieposition among the democratic leeders not to do anything about it and let it pass without actfon and.this was manifested even after he Mud ex- pressed himseif in.its favor. The.re~ sult now is that having become ac- juainted. with the attitude of the dem- scratic majority he has changed his nind, according to information . from Nasbhington, and is willing that the at more | s to bo a menace | VS, WILSON. might have been Hughes, on clared to he stands ration of all indus- and declared the ir, impartial, candid ar- 1 on on facto there 1 respect to 1justed in tha for ne may have principle have by his recent action, and s not =o long ago that he was not s favorably inclined to organized la- bor. 1In 1909 he declared “You know what the standard of the employe is It is to give as little as his wages. the trades unions tandard to which it is No one is suffered than the average workman in some trades and handi- no one is suffered to do more the liful of his fellows i the hours allotted to a than of hours at all, or volunteer anything minimum.

Nothing is more effective than a po- litical campaign for bringing forth a full presentation of claims. One of the real hot fights of the al- lied forces in France was centered about the capture of Chilly. The republican convention has said to the republican state officials well done, good and faithful servants. The man on the corner says: Be- fore rishing into a mistake it is well to give advance thought to the post- mortem. —— . ? Greek people, if not King Constan- tine, have gotten a new idea of the re- sults of peace, as the outcome of their undesired neutrality, It is the old, old story on the west- ern battle front, no sooner is one wedge firmly driven that it becomes ‘necessary to start another. [t The actign of congress on the eight hour bill has paved the way for'a lot of freak bills to bother not only that body but state legislatures. Those who are making an effort to preserve the progressive party might do well if they took a little advice from the éxample of Col. Roosevelt. Block Island is reported to have had a dry August, and yet everyone on that attractive isle fully understands that there is water, water everywhere. By the speedy action on the Adam- son bill congress shows that’ it can move quickly when it feels ltke it, but it was a good deal like the hustle which always characterizes the clos- ing days of a session. It ,cannot -help but attract.attention when: the: kaiser adorns the comman- der of the submarine that sank the Lusitania with special.decorations, only to have Germany eend a warrant to this ecountry for the arrest of an alleged “murderer. L Miss Carrie Thomas, president of the Bachelor Girls Club, gazed expectantly around the circle of faces as she walted for a suggestion as to what should con- stitute the initiation of the new appli- cant for membership. ‘Alice Rice, the new applicant, stand- ing at the right of the president’s chair gazed expectantly, also fearfully, intoj those same faces. All were her friends, girls she had known all her life, yet at the moment they scemed the veriest strangers. Alice shuddered a little as she noted the stern, thoughful faces, and she felt herseif a sort of criminal at the bar of justice. “Well?” The president was getting impatient. “I suppose,” came from Mary Dean, Alice’s particular chum, ‘that the new plicant shall make a proposal ?f mar- riage to James Morse's butler.” On the instant there was a slight movement of anticipation. “All in favor stand up,” commanded the president, and dmmediately every chair was vacated. “You have heard,” said the president, turning and locking into Alice's start- led eyes. “Y—es,” she stammered, ‘but I— I don't know the gentleman—even.” “Yo will be given until tomorrow night at this same hour to accoraplish your task—you may g0 now.” A minute later Alice stood in the street looking back at the house and wondering if it was not all & dream. But at that moment there camo float- ingz out on the night air the sound of 12 voung voices raised in ringing peals of laughter, assuring her that it was all a stern reality. So, tossing her head defiantly, she turned and started slowly toward home. The main strect of the little town along which Alice must go was senti- neled on eitt ide by great, wide- spreading maples whese interlocking branches formed an archway overhead, a shady green turnel, which the night transformed into a cave of inky black- ness. The little town boasted not of streét lights. Alice shivered a little and quickened her pace, fancying she detected a sound of stealthy footful A her.

B oo | a beg your pardon,” came in THE WAR PRIMER l By National Geographic Soclety Seres—The suddenly developed Bul- garian counter-offensive in northeast- ern Macedonia brings the imipertant town of Seres on more into the limelight of world history. This an- ent city tuated on the avigable Takhino, forty miles west of the Aegean port of Ks and forty- thr ast of Sa- “With a history dating bacl days of Xerxi memorable retreat from Greece after the d rous battle of Salamis, the town Ser as, until partitioning of Ottoman ns the Balkan peninsula, the chief cit kish district of Saloniki and was noted as the cen- ter of the Turkish woolen industry as well as an important cotton, tobacco, hides and carpet tra Accord- ing to the latest available statistics it is a place of 30,000 inhabitants and is situated in the midst of one of th most fertile regi in th d. In fact, Golden Plain (Altin Ovassi) is the name given the district by the Turks. For man; miles in_every di- rection from the shor k. hino there is a succ cus, gleaming white hamlets in set- tings of luxuriant sreen. ‘Seres commands a splendid strat- egic passageway up the Valley of the Struma river to the environs of the Bulgarian capital, Sofia, which lies a hundred miles to the south. “In ancnment times the town was known as to_the Atheniants as Seres or Sirrhae. It is mentioned by Hero- s as one of the places in the line of retreat of erves’ army in the fifth centry before the Christian era. It will live in the history of Rome's glory as the camp where the great general and aristocrat, Luelus Aemilius Paulus, re- celved a deputation from the Greek king, Perseus, whose forces the Rom- an defeated at the battle of Pvdna in 168 B C. The king and his three chil- dren were captured and token to Rome to grace the occasion of the viciorious general's triumphant entry. Because of his achievement in adding Macedo- nia to the empire Paulus received the surname Macedonicus. “For more than fourteen centuries after the Paulus-Perseus incident Se- res played a waiting role in world his- tory, but in 1345 the great statesman, soldier and lawgiver Stephen, affec- tionately called Dushan, in this city assumed the title cf ‘Emperor of the Serbs and Romanians (Romans), of the Bulgars and the Albanians.’ For a time Seres was the capital of the new empire created by Stephen as a bul- wark state between the aggressive Turks and the Christian countries of Europe As the Byzantine empire was slowly disintegrating the forceful Ser- vian emperor met with great success in his effort to weld Serbs, Duigars, Greeks and Albanfans into a strong Slavic power. Macedonia and Albania were taken from Greece, and an army ‘was recruited from these provinces as well ag from Serbia for an expedition against Constantinople. Uhile on the march toward the city on the Bospho- rus the emperor was selzed with a sudden illness and died in great agony —probably the victim of a treacherous poisoner. His son and sueessor,Urosh, a boy of 19 when called upon to as- sume command, had not inh=rited the genius_ of his father, and the Serb- Greek empire was soon disrupted. “Seres remained a Serbian city,how- ever, for nearly a hundred vears. It was captured in the middle tof the 15th centry by Sultan Murod II. and remained under Turksh control until quite recently, when as one of the spoils of the war waged by PBalkan nations against the Turks in Europe it fell to Greece. “One-half the population of Seres is Bulgar, one-fourth is G , one-sev- enth is Turkish and most of the re- mainder-is Jewish.” WHY ALICE CHANGED HER MIND low, well modulated tons, “but did you wish to speak with the butler?” It seemed to Alice, even in her ex- cited state, that it was not a voice that one would associate with a butler, though her acquaintance with butlers was very limited; in fact, it extended only to the present instance. “Yes,” she burst out with a deter- mined grip on her co and rush- ing blindly to her fate. “Yes, I—I wanted to ask you to—to marry me!” For a moment there was a dead si- lence, the: “What!” cried the man with a gasp of incredulity. Alice repeated her request and waited. “Plcase Ktep insided” invited Bhe man in awed tones; falling back a step. Alice threw a frightened look over her shoulder contembplating flight, but as her eyes encountered that wall of darkness her courage sank and she stepped into the hall and the door closed. “Please be seated,” bagged the man, pushing forward a big chair. “Now tell me the reason for yeur extraordinary request,” he added, gently, as one speaking to a ckild. And Alice, unable to think of any reason for refusing, did so. The man, standing at a little distance, watched herclosely as he listened. At the con- clusion a faint smile of amusement hovered about the corners of his fine mouth. “Am I supposed to mccept?” he que- ried gravely. “I—I don’t know!” gasped the girl. Then the humor of the situation struck her and she burst into laughter as she looked up into his face for the first Then the merriment died as quickly as it was born—the man before her was not the butler, but Gordon Morse, the old man's son, who had Dheen away to college for four years, #nd whom Alice had always eecretly admired. Leaping to her feet in con- fusion, she would haves fled had not two strong hands pushed her gently back into the chair. “I believe,” he said with sudden in- terest, scrutinizing her closely, “that you are Alice Rice, though it is an amazing change from the pig-tailed little girl of four years ago. Am I right?” Her flaming cheeks and downcast eyes gave him his answer. “And you haven’t a word of welcome for a returned fellow townsman?”’ he addel “Word,” she heard herself say. seems to me that I've said too many word: Please let me go, Mr. Morse, for 1 feel very foolish and miserabl T—I had no idea that you were here. “Certainly, you may go,” he laughed, an infectious laugh that brought a emile to the girl's lips; and she caugh: herself glancing slyly up at the man. “But you must allow me to accompany you to your gate,” he added with anx- ious concern; it §s rather gloomy along that road—if I remember right.” Alice demurred, but in the erd he had bis way. And €0 was born a romance which caused her to change her mind about hecoming a member of the Bachelor Girls’ Club, for on a few weeks later she murmured “Ye: to something Gordon said. But, man like, he will probably always tease her about taking advantage of the oppor- tunity which leap-year offers.—Bos- ton Post LETTERS TO THE EDITOR That Green Flag. Mr. Editor: In this morning’s issue of your paper I noticed the letter from “It i the esteemed lady in Gales Ferry, who was so greatly insulted by the sight of a green flag. Although the letter does not so state, I assume that the flag signified “Irish,” inasmuch as a fiag on the rear end of a Central Vermont train would not at- tract so much attention. Ye horrors! Just think of it; a green flag was fiying in broad davlight on the west side of the river in the town of Montville, much to the an- noyance of this lady from the peace- ful reclines of Gales Ferry, and not the 17th of March either, but the third of_September. Who was guilty of this gross mis- take? I would likg to ask this lady if this is not a free country, and where, oh where was the “mistake” in rais- ing the green flag, so long as it did not surmount the Stars and Stripes? Not knowing to whom the cottage or fiag belonged, I take the liberty to say that I consider Mrs. Loefler's let- ter a direct slap at the Irish race, to whose hearts the green flag is second only to the Stars and Stripes. ED C. CURTIN. Montville, Conn., Sept. 7, 1916. [The flag in question The Bulletin is informed is one of those signal flags used on the trolley iine to indicate “another car following.” I{ was found in the highway and nailed to the cot- age by a party of young men. It waves over the “shack” where many a happy day has been spent and it is hoped that there are more on the way.] POLITICAL Straight Talk. After what we have had to put up with from Mr. Wilson it is mighty refreshing to listen to the able re- marks of a man like Mr. Hughes. There can be n odoubt as to where he stands on the important issues in the cam- paign and what his policy will be after he is elected. There will be no side- stepping, no wobbling, but a dignified policy will be followed through in an intelligent manner that will make it possible for us to hold up our heads and look every other nation straight in the eye. How Mr. Wilson can answer the charges hurled at him by Mr. Hughes is hard to understand. They are true, How Mr. Wilson is going to explain the hard times we had before the Eurcpean war started is a question. Mr. Wilson adrnits that his tariff policy is wrong when he advocates a tariff commission and when he advises that the tariff be left on sugar. What then, has he to stand on? Every one who knows anything about the bung- ling way he has handled the Mexican problem knows that his foreign policy has heen no policy at all. He has changed so often that it is not likely he knows himself where he stands from one day to the next, and the people are not going to overlook a chance on election day of placing the country in safe hands.—Marquette (Mich.) Chronicle. [ STORIES OF THE WARh The Capturs of Guillemont. The British troops rushed upon Guil- lemont with the flnest valor. They were in and about those dugouts in the first wave and halted.there to see that no Germans remained in hiding to at- tack them from the rear. Underground there was not muwch fighting. A few proud'men refused to surrender or did not surrender quickly enough. Most of them gave themselves up easily and made no trouble in being marshaled back, so that something like 6,000 men: belonging to the dnest Ger- MOTHERS WHG HAVE DAUGHTERS Read How to Care for Their Health, New Orleans, La.—*‘ I cannot praise Lydia E.

Nicholas man troops are now bebind the British lines, out of it for good. A half hour afterward-tge British were joined by supporting troops, and the line was advanced to the sunken road, Iwhere other German soldiers ‘were captured. The British found here a defensive position all ready for them and after a little work in reorganizing the shkelter from that point 2 number of men went forward again to the attack on Ifemont Farm, But this w3s too far for one day’s v were_held on the out- of Woodpoor Wced by the im- ate counterattack of the Prussian For one of the rare times in this war, the Germans faced the Brit- ish bayonets and stood to their ground so_stoutly that they were able to main- tain their position. So the battie ended with the cap- ture of Guillemont, and the British line strongly entrenched along the sunken road. OTHER VIEW POINTS What is to be our next crisis? Mr. Wilcon has established a precedent of yielding to expediency. So long as this precedent stands we must expect our national government to be con- trolled by outside influence. There is no rule of right and justice. Mean- while the public must expect to pay the cost of bad government until the people begin to make demands of th own. Tho cost of living is going high- er and higher. A surrender like that of congress last week gives prices a big boost—Torrington Register. The roads of Connecticut are be- ing improved so rapidly and with such an effort for permancnce that our state is taking a high place among the commonwealths because of its fine highways for just as good roads are an asset so bad ones are a Lability The secretary of agriculture thinks that bad roads seriously retard pros- ress. There is no need of discussing the importance of good rosds. They are essential to comfortable travel, to the economic production and distribu- tion of farm products, to the develop- ment especially of satisfactory rural schools, and fo the improvement of the social life of the nation.—Meriden Journal. The grain speculators are not the only powers controlling food products who hold up the public at every op- portunity and demand their cash approved highwayman manner. in All over the country the mere threat of a| strike eent prices of flour, sugar, food and all other necessities skyward. The dealers simply took advantage of the threat and the anxiety to make husge profits. Perhaps that sort of thing is business. At any rate it files notice on the consumer that he must take his chances. That being the caee he can to some extent protect himself by co- operative buying and by purchasing wherever his dollar will bring the most.
