AYLING. SINKING THE NEUTRAL DUTCH FREIGHTER. In connection with the sinking of NORWICH BULLETIN, WEDNESDAY, DGTOEER 11, 1916 boats on the open ocean. There of course happened to be a smooth sea and no lives were lost, but it was nevertheless jeopardizing those lives unnecessarily. It was taking a chance which was not warranted by the ad- vantage which was to be obtained by sinking that ship for it was not carry- ing contraband and the military bene- fit was therefore lacking in its de- struction. This imposition of a new danger at our very gates must naturally call for resentment. In this connection _the Philadelphia Ledger well asks, “Does the emperor believe that with the mem- ory of the Lusitania still fresh in our minds with that crime against Amaéri- can citizens still unatbned for we can sit tamely by.and see a like instrumertt of destruction work its will in our own waters? He and his advisers must be in a desperate frame of mind to run the risk, at the very moment when defeat stares them in the face, of adding one more to the list of Ger- many’s enemies. WARDEN OSBORNE'S TION. For a long tigie it has been evident that Thomas Mott Osborne has not been entirely satisfied with the re- stricted results of his wardenship at Sing Sing prison. He has experi- enced serious handicaps in the admin- istration of his duties as he believes they should be administered and it has been apparent that there were many who were afixious to point to the failure of his plan and say “I told you so.” For that reason less surprise is oc- casioned by his action in sending his resignation to the superintendent of prisons than as if he had been sup- ported on every hand in all the ideas which he had advanced for prison re- form. That he had reached the point where he could not tolerate longer the opposition that was continually manifesting itself against him is re- vealed by his letter to Superintend- ent Carter in which he takes the op- portunity of airing his criticisms of what he considers the failure to give him a square deal. That he has felt it necessary to take this step will cause sincere regret among the many who have become in- terested in his methods of prison re- form. Whether they would ultimatg- ly prove to be a success or a failure it was felt that they should be given a full and fair trial. It has been con- sidered that the merits of reform measures should be fully brought out for a decision one way or the other, and certainly if he had been trusted to introduce them he ought to have been given the support which would have seen him through. For that reason, if nothing else, there will be sincere re- gret that he has felt it necessary to talie the course which he ha RESIGNA- EXTRAVAGANT AND INEFFICIENT While so much is being said by the democrats about prosperity it is in- teresting to note that Senator Sher- man of Hlinofs refers to the fact that we have “a free trade tariff act with- out any permanent trade, a revenue tariff act without any revenue and a the half dozen merchant ships off Nan-\war tax without any war,” and he tucket, Manager Van Doorn of the Holland-American line to which the Bloomeridji belonged is at a 10ss to understand why that vessel was seized and sunk and in view of the facts in the case he has reason to be. The Bloomeridjk fifes a neutral flag. It is engaged in commerce between neutral nations. It was carrying at the time a cargo which consisted of 95 per cent. wheat valued at a half million dollars which was owned, bought and paid for by the Nether- lands government, the remainder con- sisting of automobiles 'and accessor- ies which were consigned to the Neth- erlands Overseas Trust. Holland has @ right to purchase such supplies and the fact that other nations are en- gaged in war does not give them the right to destroy the property of a neutra] as was done in this case. This Duteh ship was not carrying contra- band to any one of the allies. It was engaged in trade that was legitimate and from which none would be likely to benefit more than Germany if by any chance such goods as it was car- rying should in turn be disposed of outside the country. The fact, how- ever, that the cargo was the property of the Holland government ought to Zlve assurance against that. The case is far different than that of the Nor- wegian ship which was carrying sup- plies to England and there are rea- s0ns to believe that Holland has every reason to frame a protest and de- mand reparation. LIVES ARE TOO PRECIOUS. Widespread sympathy will go out to that New London family in which a six year old child lost its lifer from burns received while playing about a bonfire of leaves in the street. It only required a few minutes to receive the fatal burns as the result of a misstep or the child losing its balance, but it nevertheléss points to the danger which always exists at such times. + There is a lesson to be drawn from this sad affair which ought not to be disregarded. Playing with or about a fire ic a perilous pastime, vet at this season of the year when the leaves or other materials are beinz assembled to be burned there is no greater at- traction for the children. They like to see the flames and the smoke and they like to take part in adding the fuel. They-are cager to stir up a blazs when there is none and there are not a few who like to take chances by Jjumping through the fires or playing With the embers which sooner or later leads up to just such distressing af- fairs as that at New London. Too much care cannot bo therefore in keeping children away from bonfires, or at least at a safe distance. Many may hesitate to damp- en thelr enthusiasm or to check their play but it is a case where it is far preferable to be safe than to be sorry. Lives are too valuable to have them sacrificed in such a manner and it is unfortunate that such dreadful Jessons have to be taught before some are brought to that realization. used THE NEW TERRORISM, Uncertainty prevails and it is bound. to_continue to as long as therc is a possibility of the continuance of the submarine warfare just outside of the three-mile limit of this country. There i involved a serious impediment to ‘American trade and no little danger " to the lives of those who may be mboard the vessels aftacked. “This is revealed both in the sinking the neutral Dutch freighter and the sinking of the passenger ship tephano, which, though it was car- the British filg, was plying be- portd on this side of the Atlan- e.

And the conditions today in this coun- try back him up. It is interesting to mote that while the democrats are pointing to the bus- iness revivali which has resulted from the war and the filling of orde from the belligerent countries of Europe, the indebtedness of the country steadily piling up. There have b repealed certain sections of the demo- cratic tariff in order to obtain more revenue. ‘There have been imposed upon the country all sorts of taxes, income, inheritance, munitions and yet thé revenue obtained s not sufficient to meet the needs. Inst=ad of pro- viding for a tariff that would yield suf- ficient revenue the democrats have falled to obtain enough despite the federal taxation and it has been nec- essary to issue bonds to relieve the situation. Our imports have increased but our revenue has decreased and for the first three months of the fiscal vear there is shown a treasury deficit of $58,000,009. The democratic administration in- stead of furnishing the economy and efficiency that was promised so faith- fully before taking office is in reality furnishing a glaring example of ex- trav: ince and inefficiency. EDITORIAL NOTES. This country isn’t as far from Ger- many as it thought it was submarine- wise. ‘Whether poliomyelitis is a misnomer, as some people claim, or not, it is cer- tainly no worse than the disease. The Rumanians appear to have put to use the Austrian excuse of retiring to new strategic positions, Every vessel that the German sub- marines sends to the bottom means of course more business for the ship- vards. Those German U-boats could not have been very much more successful had they really been aiming at the stock markets. The man on the corner says: It must appeal to a baseball team every now and then that to be a good loser is the next thing to winning. The administration has reason to be stirred by the U-boat activity. Tt probably recalls that the Lusitania case has not as yet been settled. < While a whale recently sank a ship off the Mexican coast, there is no pos- sibility of that cause being assigned to the loss of those vessels off Nan- tucket. Even though the submarine U-53 may have brought a message concern- ing peace, subsequent events indicate that its mission was not entirely peaceful. Someone is bound to remark of course that those vessels which are being loaded with the traction en- gines for use in .the BEuropean war are tanking up. The marked improvement which is made in property and the streets by the new walks which have already been laid naturally brings forth the remark that it is a wonder that the old ones were tolerated as long as ey were. .

Sunday morning in the little country town of Miliville the church bell is ringing. There is to be a christening service today, and in consequence many peoplé ' are out wending their way toward the church. Wearily trudging along down the dusty road comes an old man. He has heard the bell ringing—has rcturned to his native town after a life of frav- el, trials and vicissitudes in foreign lands. To see him one would know at once that he is a stranger. The little ur- chins sitting upon the rail fence know it. One little fellow hails him thus: Dr. Caldwell’s Syrup Pepsin Relieved Her Baby When Nothing Else Would Little Max Pendergrast is now four years old, and a fine, healthy boy. ‘When but a tiny baby, in fact almost from birth, he suffered a great deal from constipation. His mother, Mrs. Carl W. Pendergrast, Red Key, Ind., heard of Dr. Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin, obtained a bottle of it from the drug store, and with it was able to quickly correct this condition. Mrs. Pendergrast says Dr. Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin has saved them from calling the doctor many times, and that she will never be without a bot- tle of it in the house to use when needed. She found it equally effective as a laxative for herself and other members of the family. Dr. Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin is a combination of simple laxative herbs with pepsin, pleasant to the taste, mild in action and positive in effect. It does not gripe or strain, and contains no opiate or narcotic drug.

For the com- mander and crew it was death or suc- cess. Dexterous as the tank is in moving over all kinds of obstacles, is uncertain whether His Majesty landship, as the official title goes, could navigate the tangle. With the peculiar grumbling and rumbling noise it akes it goes over the shell craters, the tank started off. Shells dropped ail around it, c ering it with carth, but it seemed to lead a charmed life. It wraped itself up to that ruined fortification, man- aged to_cross over the upheaval of cement blocks and Dlazed its owh machine guns inio the\ dugouts and into the German machine gun posi- tions. 2 Meanwhile the German gunners in the rear, having sighted a tank, pro- posed to smash it if it was in the power of their guns to do so. The tank seemed to draw all kinds of fire, and at times was hidden by shell smoke and dust from explosions. But every time the pall raised it could be seen moving over the craters made by the shells aimed at it with bulle and shell fragmMWits rattling on its side. Its business was to clear the tangle and it succeeded. The British maintained their pos tion gained in front of Le Sars.

On the contrary, their policy will be one of rigid economy within and of pushing sales to the utmost wit; out. The capture of the greatest cash market in thc world will be their special aim. Nowhere else than here can the gold *hey will so badly need th facility. That the will be the dumping ground for the surplus products of all the fighting nations cannot be reasone ably questioned. The re-election of Woodrow Wilson would mean four more years with the bars down, four more vears with the gates open for the entry of European cheap labor pro- ducts in compctition with ours. Who can imagine a continuation of pros- perity under such conditions? Gold would pour out of this country in a continuous stream. Factories through- out the land would close down, unable to compete with the foreign manu- facturers. Labor would be thrown out of employment; prices of farm pro- ducts would go down to unprofitable figures, and business of all kinds would ‘suffer to the extreme.

FOUR DOCTORS DISAGREED Pains Disappeared After Use of Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vegetable Compound. Wilmington, Del.—*I was suffering from a terrible backache and pains in my side, with bear- ing down pains and was very nervous. I was always tired, always drowsy, never could get enough sleep and could not eat. I had four doctors and each told me some- thing different. I read of Lydia E. == Pinkham’s Vegeta- ble Compound and decided to try it. I got good results and I now feel better than I have felt for years and I am gain- ing in weight.
