Norwich, Wednesday, Sept. 20, 1916. ; i The Circulation of e The Bulletin The Bulletin has the largest efrculation of any paper in Eastern Connecticut and from three to four times larger than that of any in Norwich. It is dellvered to over 3,000 of the 4,053 houses n Nor- wich and read by ninety-three per cent. of the people. In Windham it is delivered to over 900 houses, in Putnam and Danfelson to over 1,100, and in all of these places it is considered tbe local daily. Eastern Connecticut has forty- five postoffice dlstricts, zural free dellvery routes. The Bulletin is sold town and on all of he R. F. routes in Eastern Connecticut. CIRCULATION there was no chjld labor law in exist- ence. There is no restriction on the employment of children, according to the practices of the past, un- der such a law, and there s no violation ‘when children are employed In the manufacture of goods so delayed in shipment. Rather does the amendment point the ‘way to that very circumvention of the law, and it appears that the bill as passed is therefore two sided. It pre- tends to check child labor but at the same time shows how child labor can be used without breaking the law. That being the case those who con- sider that the desired effect is mot nullified are due for an awakening. THE NEW CHAMBER OF COM- MERCE. There has been much to commend in the work which has been dome by two of Norwich's civic organizations in thelr efforts to build up and aid in the progress of the city, but just at the present time the best step taken has been the decision by the members of the Board of Trade and the Cham- ber of Commerce to abandon their or- anizations as they have existed in the past and join together in a new Cham- ber of Commerce of Norwlich to be in- corporated under the laws of the state and to be afliliated with the state and national bodies of the same name. Norwich is not a large enough com- munity to permit two organizations which are working to the same end to ate without more or less friction “Look at 'em, Loul Oh, have & look!” weakly begged the young per- son with the high white shoes that were conslderably run over as to heel and dubious as to color, as she tied on her ruffly apron over her plain black frock and prepared to meet the afterng)n onrush at the soda counter. “Just coming in—the stripes!" “My sakes, Delll” gasped her dupli- cate, patting out her own apron bow. “Any fellow that'll wear an orange and green tie with a purple and black shirt and a Palm Beach suit and pink socks ought-a be shot! Why, it ain't style to be s0o—so sort of ~unrestrafhed! Look at his haircut—yes, Mr. Sykes, we was just starting to take the or- ders! T wag trying to get my apron tied particular as you told usi Lord, how I hate that man! You'd think he owned the place instead of just being manager! What's it to him!” “Ain’t it awful!” gloomingly agreed Dell, returning from her somewhat frengieq- imitation of labor, work that she had made when Sykes loomed up. “Two lemonades—make ‘em sour! Wouldn't you know those two would want their lemonades sour? Tl bet the one with the face like a hatchet and the girly-girl hat is secretary of the Soclety for Imprisoning Husbands and Boiling Them Alive! T'll bet she makes speeche on soap boxes and— “Yes, Mr. Sykes! I wasn't talking, 1 was just giving my order, in detail, like you told us to, special!

Sometimes, Lou, I think it would sérve that man right if I lay down and died of exhaustion and he had to pay for me three months in the hospital! Ooocoo-e! Isn’'t that the swellest blous you ever laid eyes on “Handmade,” she reported on her return. I just naturally lean toward that sort of clothes. I can always tell ‘em! Tl bet she paid $50 for it, Lou!

This change has been brought about by the enforcement of i nance. It didn't requi in to show up some of the defects and it is en- tirely possible that the modification has not reached that degree of per- fection which would make it unw still further amend it, and it may even be found that oiher streets than those already concerned should be included to relieve congestion and make travel safe. Norwich wants the best traffic rules that it can get which meet the situa- tion as it exists in this city, The idea is mot to impose hardships upon any- one unnecessarily but to serve the common good of all, and when such regulations have been obtained to hav them respected. That some chang have been favored is gratifying and is entirely possible that others will vet be considered advisable. Such is the way defects are overcome. THE KELVINIA GASE. Germany has been with ts Submarines sinking merchant ships in the past summer. It even claimed that 53 hostile and neutral ships have been sent to the bottom in the ten days previous to September the neutral Yessels being destroyed because they earried contraband und it was impos- sible to take them to a German port. It is entirely po ble that Germany was justified in the sinking of each and everyone of those ships. It is fully ‘understood that it has rights as a belligerent under the rules of war if it goes according to such regula- tions. Interest is revived in this coun- try because one of the number sunk, the Kelvinia, was a ship carrying 2§ Americans and while none of them was injured or lost, if the claim is true that the vessel was torpedoed without warning, it furnishes a good reason for calling Germany to ac- _gount. ‘While Germany may claim that it bas a right to sink enemy ships, which will be granted, and while it may claim the rizht to sink neutrals found carrying contraband, which pight may be disputed, it can hardly glaim that it is privileged to sink ves- sels without warning or without first ascertaining whether they are actual- ly carrying contraband or not. All the facts in the case should therefore be-obtained and if a Ger- man submarine sank the Kelvinia without giving the crew warning it must be looked upon as a violation of " §ts agreement to respect the rules of war on the high seas. DUE FOR AN AWAKENING. There are some who profess to think | that the amendment which was made the child labor law in the senate g the last days of congress does ‘mot nullify its effects. They do not think that it will permit the employ- pent of children in the production of which are to be shipped in in- te commerce, It is to be sin- ly hoped that they are rignt and the law will be able to accom- lish all that was Intended, but it is be hoped that they, expected that would be no_loopholes for the labor employers to crawl there are defects, however, busy hua, the task of him_ down Wwor be greatly simpi It was sted tha Pershing's forces hould be withdrawn a Mexicay force would take their place and thus pre- from raiding to the north- , and it was further believed ti al Trevino would now pursue relentlessly, All of that sounds but General Pershing is not sup- posed to be protecting Chihuanua and yet the Mexican forces under Carran- 2 did not prevent him from raiding that city. They have not even gone to the trouble to locate him but left it to Villa to disclose himsels. Such being the case, how much de- endence could be placed upon a Mex- ican force preventing him from mak- ng other such raids as he conducted against the town of Columbus? The time for the relentless pursuit of Vil- la was months ago and not after he has been given plenty of time to add to his list of depredations. EDITORIAL NOTES. Everything seems favorable for a late stay at the seashore except the weather. The man on the corner says: One of the supreme joys of life is to find that the ga made a mistake. company The new premier of Greece 1s said to be friendly to Venizelos, but how does King Constantine feel on the sub- Ject? If it is impossible for the Carranza troops to find Villa, he has no trcuble in getting near enough to strike at Mexican cities. Ca When the street railway heads in New York refuse to arbitrate they seem to be taking the president’s ad- vice pretty seriously. Good cabinet making appears to be a lost art in Greece, barring the fact that those who are really clever at it are suffering from a lock out. It is a merry chase in the Balkans with the Serbs driving the Bulgars, the Bulgars driving the Rumanians and the Rumanians hot foot after the Aus- trians, The public is not only a direct party at interest in that New York trolley strike but it has” already commenced to figure in the list of killed and wounded. Villa has been causing more trouble in Mexico but of course Carranza had rather have him around than to co- operate with General Pershing to put him out of business. In order not to be mistaken for any old submaripe, the officers‘of the Bre- men should have furnished a picture of the long expected submarine mer- chantman in advance. Nothing more dastardly can be a bottle of poison tablets by an auto party to a three year old In Pennsyl- vania under the guise of candy. That fellow deserves the full penalty of the law. Truth telling doesn't get very much encouragement from that sentence of two minutes imprisonment in a court- room chair and a one cent fine im- posed upon a young man in the west for telling a falsehood to get into the postal service, imagined than that act of handing out 1s along the devious inter tional boundary between western Ru mania_and eastern Hungary the di tance is more than 560 miles.

But we know what P ident Lincoln aid in 1361, when Clvil war was thrsat- cned unless the demands of the slave- holders be complied with, and we know what President Wilson should have donc when he had to choose be- tween the upholding of the majority of the Nation or surrender to the bidding of four labor leaders.

Criticism Not Disloyad. The effort of the Democratic press to brand as disloyal any criticism, however well-founded, of President Wilson’s mishandiing of foreign ai- fairs furnishes a striking example of a perverted conception of both loy- alty and loglc. Reduced to simple terms the arguments of these paperd runs thus: “Our affairs have been handled in a blundering, vaciilating ard uncer- tain fashion, both as to Kurope and as to Mexico. 'As a result of this wab- bling_course, our relations with vari- ous European countries are unsatis- factory and the situation with Mexico is fraught with danger. Nevertheless because of the stress of our various foreign relations, therq must be no criticism of the blundering vacillat- ing course which has produced this situation.
