It was the spineless disposition which the administration had shown in ore- vious cases which made th case possible. Germany that weakness and took it.

DIVERTING PRESSURE FROM RU- MANIA., Once again attention rected to the Italian offensive. Fol- lowing the capture of Gorizia there has been a lull along that front, but the Italiane are once more going ahead and are within a short distance of Triest, the important Austrian sea- port. At the same time the Serbs are making steady prosress in direc- ton of Monastir and the offensive by the army under General Sarrail at Sa- loniki is showing a disposition to go ahead, having good assurance that there is now little or no danger to be expected from Greece. With this increasing menace in the Balkans and the Italians pushing into Austria from two points, it is likely that it will have the desired effect in calling off the Teutonic forces from their double movement against Ru- manfa. This means that the allies are is being di- fact that there is a disposition In some quarters to attribute our in- creased exports entirely to war mands and considers it very unfair. And to prove his claim he shows that our trade with South America shows an increase of 3 per cent. in 1916 over 1914 and with Africa 50 per cent. To Japan and Asiatic Russia we sold 240 per cent. more goods, 20 per cent. more to Australia and 31 per cent. more to Canada, neutral countries in- creasing their purchases by 88 per cent. over two years ago. Secretary Sweet's figures are un- doubtedly correct but it is difficult to understand why he does not consider that this gain was due in a very larze degree, if not almost entirely, to the war. He agmits that the gain in the trade with. belligerents has been due to war orders, but he must also re- alize that the increased demands which the other foreign nations have been making upon us is directly at- tributed to the war. They were de- pended for the most part upon the belligerents before the war opened for this same trade. The war shut that off with the result that they were forced to turn to this country. How then can the secretary figure out that the boom in our foreign trade is not due to the 2 GET YOUR APPLICATION IN. - very young man when he reaches the required age, and every person | who has lived the required time in a community, should make it a point to that he becomes a voter.

We continue to hear democratio claims as to the large increase which has taken place in the export trade this gpw up as the achievement of the administration and as if it was the direct result of the encourage- ment which has been given to in- s hetion. the ultimate consumer with prices still going skyward. The Russlans are reported to have sunk two U-boats in the Arctic but they will have to do better than that if they expeet to pick off an underwa- ter boat for every merchantman that is sunk. Now that the kalser has visited the. eastern front and conferred new hon- ors upon two commanders, it may be that he will think it necessary to sail out to Nantucket and decorate the commander of the U-38.

It {8 not length of years that ark age'so much as lack of en- ergy and hope. Some men falter and forget at forty and others have an elastic step and a level head at 10v. It is a mistake to be more consclous of the ravages of time than of our own power. to live fn joy and hope keeping the soul unfettered by the in- cidents and accidents of life. “A man is no older than he feels,” says the modern philosopher, but the little col- ored boy reversed this when he re- plied to an inquiry as to his age: ‘T'se five, but if all the fun I'se had is counted I shood fink I'se a hundred!” It is the spirit of man not cosmetics or youthful dress which preserves him in sense and activity despite his years. The man who courts Wisdom as time pSsses indulges in noe of .the intemperance which impairs activity or efficiency. The spirit of modera- tion and cheerfulness helps man never to seem to be old. The way of the transgressor may be hard, but a great many of them never say anything about it, and more give no sign of severe irials. So far as ordinary observation goes the trans- gressor among men has a soft snap. The honest, devout, plodding citizen doesn’t wear the good clothes or the smile of the man who doesr't mind transgressing if e only succeeds in fortifying himself with the where- withal to make his fellowmen afraid and to openly defy the powers that be. If it was not for the long road which has no turn one might think the transgressor could plot and filch and oppress and smile forever; but efter the cold and smileless face what? In our unbelief we smile when it would be more to our credit to weep. The way of the transgressor is hard the moment he is found out, because the weight of his own guilt is more than he can bear. What we are can- not always be concealed . When a man gets discouraged why should he think he needs friends to lift him up? What he needs is in- trospection and correction and cour age and energy. Such men usually think they have lost their grip when really they have never found it. When things are going bad with us it is up to you and I to discover what the matter with us is not what is the mat ter of the, other fellow.

It is lack of knowledge which leads man into every kind of error. Man easily fools himself with a conceit that he is original. Mental science and diet- ing for health are far from being new. Ben Franklin declaved: “The best of all medicines are rest and fasting;” but he did not claim the thought was original with him. Was it not Hosea who declared as coming from the Lord “my people are destroyed for lack of knowledge.” It is important to know when we are going too fast, or lay- ing our course in the wrong direction. The gatherers of wisdom in all ages have preserved in books the fruits of their "experience. Library books not only tell us how others have lived, but why others have failed— Looks contain the chart of life—and a knowledge jof them leads us away from the whirl pools and the shoals which have wrecked others Over “The flower of meekness may srow on the stem of grace;” but there is hard hitting on the way to salvation. It is necessary to know in this world When to be meek and when to be mas- terly. There is nothing oftener mis- interpreted than meekness. Meekness as popularly defined is just the opposite of preparedness—it is surrender. In our relation to the Divine we should be meek, but not In our relations to injustice. Mcekness has to_ take a back seat before meanness. Meekness on the part of those who are menaced is to become willing victims. of the aggressive. Meekness is not a virtue in the face of trlal, but a mistake a kin to crime. When a conceit of this kind possesses a man’s soul he has %fl to play a man's part, he has ec lence. There is nothing in meekness to conflict with self-preservation or self-defense or the masterly main- s e a cipher in the face of vio-| (Written Speclally for The Bulletin.) In the early years of this town, Nor- wich was regarded somewhat as & suburb of Boston, and history relates a number of instances which show the close relationship between the two citles. About 1774, when the Hub was suf- fering from privations resultant from quariering - the invader's troops, and there was great need among the poor of the town, Norwich sent a noble donation of 391 sheep, and afterwards a second installment of cash, wheat corn and a flock of 100 sheep. This liberality was greatly applauded in the public prints. Samuel Adams, “in a letter to the Committee, referring to_this generosity, wrote: “The part which the town of Nor- wich takes in this struggle for Ameri- can liberty is truly noble.” Local sympathy for the Bostonians was yet further displayed by the spirit manifested in September of the same year, on the reception of a piece of tartling intelligence which, happily, proved to be false—of a rupture be- tween the inhabitants of Boston and the royalist, troop: It was Saturday, September 3rd, at 4 P. M. that an express arrived from Col. Israel Putnam, at Pomfret, that Boston had been attacked the right before and six of tho citizens killed. This proved to be but a rumor but it was believed in Norwich, causing the createst consternation. The citi- zens’ assembled around Liberty Tree, of reli- sm. tenance of right. The cloak glon does not fit nambypam We none of us recognizs the honor and dignity of doing things well how- ever small they may be. To show the nobility of spirit appliea to the nobility of occupation John Newton pointed out: “If two angels were sent down from Heaven, one to conduet an empire and the other to sweep a street, they would feel no_inclination to change occupations.” Both would be equally honored in doing service well. In Plato’s republic it was shown the bootblack is sary as the king, and that service well-done, vhatever it may be, is dignified and honorable. One of the most promin- ent signs of mediocrity js the look- ing down upon people who render ser- ce privately or pul No ser- ant was ever of so little consequence s an idler, and no honest workman S0 meanspirited as those who measure | workmen in accord with oceu- pation. These classi of our fellowmen which are designed to rel- atively magrify the importance of other classes are the frult of vau and a misconception of worth.

It allows us to sing, reversing the sentiment of a_well-known ditty, “I do know where I'm going, and I'm on the way.” A vision is far from being merely idle day-dreaming. It is a moal that one sets before his mind and which he strives each day to come nearer unto. For cneself it Is a picture of perfection in character and attain- ment. For the world, it is that “one, far off, divine event foward which the whole ‘creation moves.” Visions are within the reach of everyone who will open the eyes of his spirit w beliold them. In the lan- guage of an American edltor, Walter A. Dyer: “If you are a poet or a Dpreacher, a duke or o doctor, or just a Plain, every-day family man or house- wife,' you have opportunity enough to glorify the day's work by adding unto it a vision. Then you will try to do 800d, instead of merely maintaining a pastorate; you will deliver a message of the world instead of merely acquir- ing poetic laurels: you will save lives instead of merely building up a prac- tise; you will make @ home happier instead of merely paying off a mort- gage.’ If any of us are finding life a dull and sordid business, may it not be be- cause no gleaming moral goal beckons us on?

Burnham’s inn, seven miles from town. Here, at eleven o'clock, they wero met by Mr. Nevins, on his return from Providence, with the intelligence that the report was wholly without founda- tion, whereupon they dispersed. The same morning, two nundred men, welt armed and mounted, had left Windham at sunrise, and had pro- ceeded twenty or thirty miles before they had learned of the falsity of the rumor. The people of Colchester were at- tending church when a messenger en- tered and anncunced the report that the people of Boston had been attacked by the troops. The minister imme- diately suspended service, an? all the men able to bear arms hurriedly equppped themselves and marched. Later it was computed that about 20,000 men of the Connecticut Colony were on the march toward Boston that day. _ This false alarm had for its founda- tion a real agsressive act. General e had landed a body of troops and removed the military st from Charlestown, together witn > feld- pieces from Ca iam. This exvited a tumult in Poston, the news of which, d rted and in- tensified by rumor, w Versw ver- bally by a hasty messenger to Col. Putnam, at Pomfret. Putnam condensed the Intelligency in a dispatch to Capt. Cleveland. a Canterbury, who sent it on by exp to Major John Durkee, in_Norwich. The latter forwarded it to New Lon- don, whence it was transmitted to Lyme, Saybrook and Fast Haddam, the same alarming dispatch passing on with its various endorsements and arousing the country to arms. We have to smile, primitive and unsatisfactory methods of spreading an alarm, considering modern facilities and equipment.

A large company of housewives were gathered together on a ter of mu- tual interest when the subject of gas was mentioned. The cry (to arms) was sounded and only the fear of no- toriety prevented them from calling upon our superintendent of gas and giving him such a going over that he ould have thought that woman suf- ge had been inaugurated.

It is a fine thing to feed students at cost, but per- haps the ratio between income and outgo can be figured a little closer for the coming year.—Hartford Times. Why don’t some of the state’s prom- inent democrats tell” Vice-President Thomas R. Marshall and Secretary Newton D. Baker to save their voices and stéer clear of Connecticut?—New Britain Record. Let the president sound the praises of Virginia and the south and the mid- dle west, which was so extdnsiveiy.de- veloped by New Englanders, and eyes of Mexico, whose seats of learning were flourishing even before, New Eg- land's universities, and New England will not complain and will even res joice with them, _But whem a con- &ress controlled by ‘the sbutiern states deliberately steps in and with the as- sistance and approval of the president insists on readjusting the tariff com- ditions to force foreign competition against New England industries and to_prevent it from reaching southern industries, New England is prompt to sense her position. ~ Patiently for two years it awaited its turn to speak, through a p@iod of hard times tem- pered only by the slight benefits de- rived from early war orders. It spoke two years ago when it sent some new congressmen and some old ones to Washington. It will speak again next month when it will make khown its choice for president, and its decision will not be so favorable as the Wilson, papers believe. Baldwin and ‘Olney and Eliot are grand old men, but they are not dependent upon the prosperity of New England for their bread and but- ter; hence their indifference to Wil- son’s anti-New | England policles.— Waterbury Republican Governor Holcomb and General Cola are back from the border. General Cole gives out some of that “soldier stuff,” about how the boys are en- joying life, how healthy and contented they are, but the blunt old Governor blurts out the truth that they want to come home and are waiting till elec- tion day to relieve heir reelings. ‘Waerbury American. These gloomy forecasters who are always prophesying harsh seasons are wrong nine times out of ten. From what we know of them we will take the opposite view of every prog- nostication they make. The only hope for these prophets of evil is to have Horace Johnson declare that the win- ter will be mild. If he says that it will undoubtedly be severe, for Uncle Hor- ace just naturally has to guess wrong. Meriden Journal. It is said that an admiralty order will almost certainly be issued for the defensive arming of every ship flving the British flag, each ship to mount as heavy guns as their construction per- mits. Such an order, if issued, would raise two rather important questions. First, will not their status as mer- chantmen, free to enter and leave neutral ports, be compromised by be coming armed vessels, and, secondly, considering that the chances are against the submarine in dealing with an armed merchantman, except the former gives up all idea of even at- tempting to provide for the safety of human life aboard the vessel attacked. —Stamford Advocate. There is one automobile for every;44 persons in United States, orie for every 29 in Massachusetts, for every 18 in Iowa and for every 198 in Alabama. Average license and registration fee in the United States is $7.46, compared with $18.11 in Vermont, about $9.50. in Massachusetts, and only 50 cents in Minnesota. License fees in 1915 net- ted $18,245,713, of which 90 per cent. was used for county and state roads. Ten years ago income from aufo fees was jess than .3 of 1 per cent. of total expenditure on roads, but last year fees defrayed nearly 7 per cent. of total cost. of road building. If the submarine activity near our shores is continued it cannot fail to bave a bad effect on American com- merce. The irade between the Inited States and the entente nations may be curtailed. Certainly the expense of transportation will advance as the danger becomes greater and the in- Surance rates increase.
