He stands for the prevention of war by dispell- ing any distrust of our competence and forestalling speculation as to our ca- pacity for firmness and decision, the failure to do which has entailed mar difficulties wh therwise cculd have been easily cscaped. As Mr. Hughes has said, “Weakness and indecision are always sources of grave danger; they forfeit respect and in wrongs” and ** e serious 1t is not the path of national securit Mr. Hughes would not have followed the course n by Pr t Wiison. He would have stood for American rights, even as Mr. Cleveland did, but that would not have meant war. Nations do not go to war because other nations insist upon their rights. THE SITUATION IN MEXICO. Just what the true situation in Mex- Ico s has not been revealed, but the fact that there are stories afloat to the effect that Carranza is getting ready to flee from the country makes it apparent that developments of an interesting character may be about to be unfolded. Carranza has had his troubles. He has failed to display the control Which he was inclined to think he possessed previous to his recognition. He has not been able to subdue or even quiet Willa, though it cannot be said that he has been devoting any too much time or thought to such a purposc. He has falled to give this country the pro- tection that it is entitled to along the has border and in the meantime been unable to secure the fu are so necessary for t econduct of a government. In the meantime dissatisfaction has been spread. Not only is Villa able to defeat the government forces but, if rumors are true, there are many of the Carranza soldiers who are desert- ing to his-army in the north. Further south Zapata's influence is stiil a cause for anxiety and Felix Diaz is waging a campaign which threatens dire results to the de facto head. Car- ranza finds the administration of Mexico's affairs a much more difficult proposition than conducting a revolu- tion, and in his handicapped position with dissention and uncertain support there is nothing surprising about the yumors that he is ready to ‘quit. he NORWAY’S SUBMARINE RULES. ..

These different positions are taken because of no special understanding between nations regarding the sub- marine, but Norway is much nearer the seat of war and it has felt the effects of the submarine much more than this country. Almost every day there s recorded tho sinking of Nor- wegian vessels both with and without warning, and in view of such disre- gard for neutral rights it is not im- probable that the attitude which Is taken by Norway now may eventually {be that which all nations will insist {upon when the time comes to redraft the rules, ENFORCING INTERNATIONAL PEACE. The British foreizn secretary, Earl Grey, has had something to say upon the subject of a league to enforce peace. It has come about through the movement which has been inaugurated in this country, and the British cabi- net officer indicates that he is in sym- pathy with such an cndeavor. Such.a stand cannot be interpreted as having any reference to the pres- ent conflict for the secretary is firmly convinced as are other =pol men for Great Britain and allied na- tions engaged in the conflict that the war must go to a decision that will be definite. He is confident that that will mean victory for the entente pow- ers, but following the reestablishment Jof peace it will be necessary for the nations of the world to ally them- selves for its maintenance. This is the purpose of the league to enforce pepce.

With the price of hard and soft coal going up, it is a cold outlook which- ever way you view it. If it is so that he kept us out of war, the reports from San Domingo indicate that we are at war but don't know it. What an awakening there is ahead for those democrats who are basking in the shade of the quadrennial pre- dictions of the party leaders. Secretary Baker doesn't care to talk about the move of patriotic societies to bring about his resignation. He probably wishes he hadn't said what he did. ‘Whatever doubt there may have been in the recent past about his presence Jack Frost has at last made it certain that he is with us for a long stay. 1t is about time for someone to ad- vance the argument that in view of the prosperity we ought to be anxious to pay the higher prices that are be- ing demanded. Senator Dillingham well maintains that we are at war with Mexico, for if ‘We are not those United States sol- diers who have shot and killed Mexi- cans cannot be looked upon otherwise than murderers.

The procession form- ed, as tho old election-night parades, with bands, banners, and torches. The band played Yale tunes and National airs, while “For God, For Country, For Yalé and For Hughes” banners pro- claimed the sentiment of the Yale men. As the parade reached the corner of Chapel and College streets, they stop- ped outside the Taft Hotel and cheer- ed Governor Holcomb, Professor Taft, Senators_Brandegee and McLean and Otto T.

The main event of the day will be the race between the four university crews, “The first freshman crews at the present time,” said Coach Abbott last | night, “are a hundred per cent more efficiént and advanced in the knowl- edge of rowing than the freshman crews at this time last fall, despite the fact that there has been no notice- able change in the method of coach- ing the crews from that employed last year. The principal reason for _the superiority of the present freshman crews can be attributed only to the fact that the men are more experi- enced.

In the Austro- Turkish struggle of 99 it was cap- tured by Louis, margrave of Baden, one of the most celebrated generals of his day, but it remained in his hands | only cne year, for in the succeeding campaign it ecaptured by _the Ottoms ich also retook Nisch and Belgrade. Vidin was given its ‘place in the sun,’ by a notoriously ruthless but re- markably efficient chiefti of the Krjalis, Pasvan Oglu, who here estab- Jished an independent state. in 1794 The Krjalls were disbanded Turkish soldiers and desperadoes who defied all constituted authority and who during the last half of the 18th century wandered through Bulgaria preying upon peasants, slaying, robbing, burn- ing all who were so unfortunate as to stand in their path. Pasvan Oglu amalgamated these bandits and high- waymen and as to their leader estab- lished himself at Vidin, where he was able to defy and defeat three Turkish armies sent against him. He erected handsomo buildings. maintained order within his own capital, levied taxes and even issued a special coinage. When he finally submitted to a super- ior force sent against him the Porte deemed it wiser to reinstate him as governor than to displace him with a less forceful subject. With his death in 1807 Vidin's importance waned, “Of this period and the suffering which the Krjalis inflicted upon the surrounding country a vivid picture has been preserved in the memoirs of a Dishop of Vratza who wrote, My diocese has becn lald desolate; villages have disappeared, fburnt by Krialls and Pasvan's brigands.’ “In the Russo-Turkish war of 1877- 78 Prince Charles of Reumania, at the head of an army of 35,000 men, with his own hand fired the first cannon, against Vidin from the Roumanian town of Calafat. At that time the Bulgarian stronghold was garrisoned by Osman Pasha's army of 80,000 Turks who had just completed their succes8ful campaign against Serbia. Eight years later, in the Serbo-Bul- garian struggle, Vidin was successfully defended by the Bulgars. “Calafat, on the Roumanian &ide of the river, is_not more than half as populous ‘as Vidin. It was founded in the 14th century by a colony of Gan- oese from whoSe workmen (Calfata), employed in repairing boats, the town. | derived its name.

The Yale batteries have been invited to participate, and will be received together with the Second Regiment, Troop A, and the hospital detachment. The parade, which is scheduled to start at two, will be composed of five bands, and many of the city organiz tions, in addition to the National Guard troops, in whose honor it will be heid. The city is to have a half- holiday. With the football season half over, the Yale coaches are confronted with the problem of rebullding the line for two games and then again chaaging it. C. M. Sheldon, who has been play= ing regular tackle on the University team for two yvears is out of the game for the rest of the year. He is in the infirmary with acute - injiammatory rheumatism. This leaves a vacanc: in the line which had not been antic ipated.

General Murray, however, after look- ng over the ground decided that whil no army ever had crossed the water: less tracts in summer, vet it was pos sible. Accordingly he began to thrus his defences out from tho east bank of the canal unti! at present he has a fortified line established at an av distance of about ten miles from the waterway and some 90 miles in length almost as long as the British front in France. General Murray’s policy was vindi- cated early last month when an army of 14,000 Turks did succeed in se ossing the desert, engaging the British at Romania where they met with dks- astrous defeat. fad this fight been waged on the banks of the cznal, even with the same result, shipping neces- sarily would have been greatly delayed. As it was the canal was as Guiet as a woodland stream. In the organization of defences in the Canal Zone, General Murray has made use of the training he had early in the war in France when, as chief of the general staff, under General French, he played a leading role in the skilful British retreat from Mona. An opportunity fo y the organi- zation and to sce every feature of the deftnces of the canal was given to a representative of The Associated Press just transferred from the British front in France to the blistering heat and the shifting sands of the Sinai desert. General Murray is wasing what might be called “constructive warfare. In order to establish and maintain his troops in the desert it has been nec- essary to construct highways _and railways, many miles of which will be of inestimable value to Egypt after the war, for wherever possible he is build- ing with the idea of permanency. For example, within a comparatively short time, should the operations continue, Port Said, Ismailia_and Cairo will be linked by a rock-ballasted highway which would do credit to any country. All told, the commander has built — (deleted by censor) miles of highway and raliroad, and the work is being pushed steadily forward in many places. The outer line of defence consists of a series of fortifled positions among the sand dunes. The same type of trenches as/ are found in Furope have been used, excepting that there are few dugouts. The soldlers live mainly both ofiensive and The establishment of the outposts has been a difficult matter. All the excavations have been made in a sand which shifts and slides at tho slight- est touch, involving & vast amount of diging and shoring. Worst of all has been the heat. Day after day the soldiers have lab- ored under a scorching sun thrown back from the sands with the flerce- ness of a furnace blast. A tempera- ture of 120 or 130 degrees, Fahrenheit, in the shade, has no tbeen uncommon and in the sun the thermometer has registered perhaps fifty or sixty de- grees more. Added discomfort has been the effect ‘of the sun, reflected from the shimmering sands, on the eyes. This is not enly painful but it has happened that some-of the men get sunstroke throush the eyes. The darkly-tanned Tommies, however, 80 cheerfully about their 'duties in' the face of danger and hardships. Indeed, many declare that they Nke fhe, coun- try, for cven the desert, with its won- derful nights, bas its compensation The linking of these desert outpos with the canal had to be done simul- taneously wlith their estabiishment. Most of the garrisons have been lo- cated in tractless waterless wastes which, had roads not been built, could have been provisioned only by the em- ployment of myriads of slowly moving camels. Genera! Murray, however, has bullt many short lines of raliway and high- ways which jut out fro mthe canal at right angles toward the fighting lne. These do not extend the entire dis- tance, but make it possibly to_assem- bie necessities at railriads not far back, and from the termini supplies are moved by camels. LETTERS TO THE EDITOR Mere Wilsonism. Mr. Editor: What mystic influence must a_man have to expect that the ptople forget thut it was he who for years was a fiery foe of organized la- bor, who proclaimed, and was the ad- vocate of the open shop, whe, when professor at Princeton university in delivering an address to the students of that institution, satd labor s andardized by the labor unions to give as little as he may for his wages? Again he remarks, that fabor of Ameri_ ca is fast becoming unprofitable under present regulations, by those who have determined to reduce It to a minimum. (Meaning of course trade unfons.) Read Professor Wilson's History of the Americ\1 People in which he says The Chinese are moretto be desired as working men, if not as citizens, than most of the coarse crew, that comes crowding in every year at our eastern ports. T wonder at the state of mind of the foreizn born citizens who have made up their mind to support this man, who a few vears back, Insulted them. Will they still decide to put him back where he is today Show him that some of that coarse crew he mocked awhile ago have become voters since the History of the Ameri- can People was written. As T Pave said, what mystic influ- ~nce must a man have who gains the support of men who ought to know better? Mr. Gompers has attacked Mr. Hughes, on the supreme court de- cision of the Danbury Hatters' case The 'first decdsion in this case was handed down in 1908. <The second de- was in 1915 There was no con- between the two decisions and oGmpers that Mr. Hushes as governor of New York in 1908.

After its passage. the railroad corporations added on from 25 to 50 cars to each train, and the trainman found himself worse orr than he was before. The feebleness of Mr. Hughes seems to be, he never learned the back steps —the sido step, and has not the talent to write totes. As for the Adameon act which Mr. Wilson is gettfug so much credit for 2 in his desperation for votes, it will prove a hoax.

Mr. Wilson, true to his traditions, selected men of his own stamp for his official family, the majority of whom were born, reared, and educaged in the south. Mr. Wilson has taken pains to slight the veterans or the northern army in the past, and has been caustic in his remarks of those who dare t§ question his policies. What he failed to accomplish in the way of sarcasms, he left for his war secretary to com- plete. The son of a captain in the Con- federate army, it comes natural for him to try to hesmear the heroes of Valley Forge. The lessons of his childhood have not been forgotten. In their last desperate plea for votes of the peo- ple they are now endeavoring to in- ject into the campaign, the foul and malicious germ of religious prejudices, by appealing to the affferent sects.

Isw't it about time for President Wiison to get down to facis and tell the country just when, where and how he “kept us out of war'? He and his supporters have sought to create the impression that but for some act of his the country would have been plunged into a terrible con- flict. What country we would have been at war with is not stated, nor has any light been thrown on the particular mears by which President Wilson averted the calamity. There is no evidence in sight that | any country tried to provoke a war | with the United States, or that any nation desired war with this country. On the contrary there is every rea- son to believe that all the Furopean nations wished, above all things, to avoid hostilities with us; and as for Mexico; if that country was looking an 'excuse to declare war on the ted States, President Wilson af- forded the opportunity when he or- dered the senseless and indefensible attack on Vera Cruz, and again when he sent the Pershing expedition to invade Mexico without the consent and against the protests of the Mex- ican government. Instead of making the bold, un- supported ~ claim that he kept the | country out of war, let Mr. Wilson H sme_of his spokesmen tell how done.

OTHER VIEW POINTS So far as we can see up to this time, the indications are all favorable to Hughes. There is no drift manifest such as to give the least credence to a_claim. that Connecticut is going for Wilson. It will be Yound, usually, that the claim made by the democrats is of some other state than that where the is made. That is, Connecticut Jle are told that California and Chio are very doubtful, and the people of Ohio and California_are told that Connecticut is lost to the republicans. All this is so well done as to indicate a superior kind of publicity manage- ment. It is, however, crafty rather than convincing. It hardly stands the wear of time. Sooner or later in such @ campaign of claiming the boast has to be backed by evidence. Chairman Willcox of the republican national committee makes a good point when he says that the democrats are, as usual, carrying the election in October. Pryan, he says, used to carry it in | September. The republicans wait usu- ally till November, and he ~ expects them not to wait too late this year.— Waterbury American In the midst of high cost of living discussions that break in upon political arguments it is most pleasing to dis cover that one of the big milk dealers of New York city has cut the price of de B milk in that city to eight cents.
