It is delivered to over 8,000 of the 4,063 houses fn Nor- they happened.to be subjects of the enemy, fully realizo that by that very action they take down the bars and invite the epposition to do likewise or_worse. 4 Some time ago Germany was in- formed that the Russians were tret- ing their prisoners harshly and were to all intents and purposes reviving their reputation for brutality. With- out mpparently seeking to bring about reforms otherwise they conceived the idea of doing the same with Russian prisoners and they placed them in concentration camps and treated them as common felons. Whether Germany was right in its first information its action was excuse enough for the Rus- slans to adopt their practice and it must be realized that there is no end to such schemes of retallation once they aye ‘started. E Germany has continued to take the lives of mon-combatants, including women and children, in England, but it has held up its hands in horror when the tables have been turred against it and its own éitlzens made to share a like fate. When such a pol- fcy 1s adopted there is no telling where it will end and the wisest and sanest course is to avold it in the first place. NO 'DISPOSITION TO MEDDLE. Once again the talk 'of peace across the water is gofng, around and as on previous occasions rumor has it that | 'his government is moing to step in and attempt to mediate. There s, however, no change of heart at Wash- ington regarding the willingness to do what it can to bring about an ad- justment of the deplorable situation, but to clear'up the uncertainty the an- nouncement has been made that no move is contemplated at thé present time. This government is not prepared to do any more than it has previously of- fered to do. The president has told the belligerents that he'stands ready to offer his services when in the opin- ion of those at war they are wanted and when it is belleved peace can be wich and read by ninety-three per cent. of the people. In Windham it is delivered to over 900 houses, in Putnam and Danielson to over 1,100, and in all of these places it 18 .considered the local daily.

The capture of tho important city . of Monastir in southern Serbia, and &t the end of the Saloniki-Monastir railroad at the western end of the line of General Sarrail commanding the allled forces at Saloniki, may ®not mean so much through its actual pos- session as it does through the advan- tage which is gained for further oper- ations against the Teutonic forces in that region. The Serblin army has been making a flank movement against the in- vaders and by circling this western end they ere in a position to push on and threaten the retreat of the main German and Bulgarian army if full advantage can be taken of the opportunity thus afforded for advanc- ing through the Cerna valley and -the important Babuna pass, which now becomes the key to the Vardar val- If this marks the beginning of the long awaited offensive from Saloniki the capture of this city has come none oo s6on. Whether it will have the effect of rclleving the position of Rumania at this time rests upon the rapidity with which the advance is continued. The object of this drive Of course is first to sever the Bel- gfade to Constantinople rallroad and afterwards to recover Serbia and it is 'to be realized that the Germans can- not overlook the menace to the line of eommunication - between them and the Bulgarians and Turks. The capture of Monastir will be cheering to the Serbs but whether the reinforcing of that front will require the weakening of the armies fighting against Rumania remains to be seen, yet the allied ‘pressure from that direction is one of the greatdst hopes for helping the Rumans out of their precarious posi- tion. LONG AIR FLIGHTS.

Each side has deciarel that the war must go on until there has been a de- cisive vietory and it is plainly evi- dent that that time has not come. To attempt to take sides with one side which may be leaning towards peace because conditions may be more fa- vorable now than later on, will be quickly interpreted by the other side 9 a mixing into their affairs in a manner which is not welcomed or warranted, and amtil the time does come when some outside aid is want- ed to bring about an adjustment the only thing to do s to kep our hands off and that is just what Uncle Sam expects to do. It is a course which will undoubtedly result in a much more permanent peace. ' A STRING TO NEW POLAND. What will Chancellor von Beth- mann-Hollwes ' have to say to the claim which is now put forth that he told the main committee of the reich- stag that the German promise to create the new kinzdom of Poland was conditional, being dependent on the success of the plan to raise a Polish army which would fight for Germany? Wil he deny. the whote thing, or will he admis. that it is par tially frue but very much distorted Such a sftuation if it exists cannot, be considered good grounds for the Polish people to show muth enthusi- asm over it. It simply means that they are being ‘encouraged in revolt and tha¢ if they Wil take.up arms against Russla and help Germany and Austria to fight for their cause they will receive thelr kingdom as prom- ised provided ‘the central powers win. This means that they must fight, with the prospect that if they do not vol- unteer in sufficlent numbers to pro- vide the army which Germany thinks adequate they Will be forced to by conseription in view. of the promise and will be made to undergo in- creased sacrifices in behalf of a propo- sition which has “béen thrust upon them, and which they cannot but have hope they ,will secure through the promises already made by -the other side whero force is not being used. It Germany really has a string to its gift, and it does mot seem fmprob- able, the Poles will have good rcason to do some serious_thinking. If the central powers are ready to withdraw their offer if the army does not ma- terialize the sincerity of the Austro- Germans for Poland’s welfare must be seriously questioned, EDITORIAL NOTES. ‘With four killed and three Injured at the international grand prize auto race the spectators were the greatest sufferers.

And yet this village overlooks waters upon which was fought one of the most momentous battles in tne world’s his- tory, one which helped to preserve Greek civilization from Persian spoil- iation. The National Geographic So- ciety, from its Washington headquar=| ters issues the following war geog- raphy bulletin on Keratsini and its historic environs: “It is less than an hours walk in a northwesterly direction from the railroad staticn of Piraeus, the sec- ond city of modern Greece, to Kerat- sini.

PEASANT LIFE IN THE GALICIAN PROVINCE Log Fluts, Share of Crops as Recom- pense, Hard Pleasure—Less, Simple| Existence. (Special to The Bulletin.) Washington, D. C., Nov. 19.—The report from Amsterdam that Emperor Francis Josepb intends to grant to Galicla the right, to manage its af- fairs independently, at the same time that Poland is reconstituted an inde- pendent kingdom, gives timeliress and special interest to the following war geography bulletin iseued b the tional Geographic Society, in_ which | peasant life in Gaiicia is strikingly described. The bulletin, which is based on a communication to the Society from William Joseph Showalter, says: “In many parts of Galicia the Polish peasant lives in a log hut covered with straw: he breakfasts, dines and makes his supper of porridge, washing it down with bad brandy ;and in general leads a life full of want and empty of pleasure. The peasants who farm for the nobles receive no money in pay- ment, but only a share of the crop. ‘The usual division, all over Europe ranges between a half and a fourth, and even in Russian Poland it never goes below the latter pgoportion. In Galicia the peasant now receives no rtion. The nobles’ estates “owned outright by absen- are controlled by them through /mortgages, and they have o force down the peasant lare, with the result that it equently as low as one- | wage of slow starvation rgely responsible for a dis- ease known as ‘Plica Iolonica’ con- tracted as the result of insufficient ourishment. “The lot of the Polish fs always hard, whether he lives in Russia, Ger- many, or Austria.

That was a movement. of the nobles. The govern- ment did nothing to check the out- burst, and it is 5aid that the loyalty of the peasants to the government, and their hatred of thelr aristocratic breth- ren caused the uprising to die aborn- ing. “Whatever may be sald about the relations between tho Polish aristo- crat and the Poiish peasant, however, the hospitality of the former has al- ways been whole-hearted and sincér: Tactfulness 18 as natural with the no- bles as taking to the water is natural with a duck.

The south- erners bought and paid for the Ne- groes—and they had a right to retain them and fight for them if they wanted to, as much as for any other property that they owned. In most cases they were treated kindly and it was sad news that was carried to them, tell- ing them that they had been set free. in freeing them, Abraham Lincoin simply dumped them right back upon the white people who had lost homes and property. The New Englanders once owned them—but they say “that the Negro owners felt it a great wrong to retain them.” Strange for any New England- cr to feel it their duty to set them free as long as they were profitable The Negroes were sold. to the south- erners by the New England and Eng- lish raiders. ~When the New Eng- landers found that their _southern neighbor profited by them there they became jealous and were determined to try and use some means to have them set free. If the Reader and Soldier will go to the public library here and ask for the book written by Dr. Graves and who was stationed at one of the southern forts he will read how Jef Davis, a_gentleman, broken down _ie ‘health, was overpowered and chained to the floor. They knowing that it was impossible for him to make his escape. Then again the humiliation that the women and children were called to endure during Sherman's raig to the sen was an outrage—but it's only too true that blood will tell, such men—or 50 called men—as Ben Butler and Sherman are not to be compared with such men as Lee or Jackson. It is-said that right will pre- vail and sure it was as in the case of Lee’s beautiful home—of Arlington— when the Union officers were sent to confiscate, for it belonged to the i)oc'tors On Comfirm the About D.

General Wash- ington was a man and a slave-hold- er. Now does “A Soldier” or “A Read- er” believe that he would _wiilingly have given up his Negroes? No, he would have fought and bled for them if it bad been necessary. A SOUTHERNER. Norwich, Nov. 18, 1916. No License, Mr. Editor: A county commissioner anrd a physiclan had an argument the other day in which the doctor claimed that a town in this state voting no- license meant prohibition as used in national or state matters in the ques- tion of liquér selling in the town. The commissioner claimed it . did nof ‘Which is right? g Plainfleld, Nov. 20, 1916.

The news from Carada of a recruit- ing campalgn amongst Scots in New Brunswick by means of beacon-fires iit on the hills and thé fiery cross car- ried by messengers mounted on mo- tor-bicycles (besides, of course, the usual recruiting meeting$) may puzzle the Southred. The fiery cross of the Highland clans was not. as might be supposed, a flaming torch. but a cross made of two charred sticks, whose ends, after beinz thrust in {he fire, were extinguished by dipping them in the blood of a goat sacrificed for the purpose. The “fatal sign. of fire and sword” was sent out by a_chief. tain to summon his c¢lan, énd eon- trusted to a swift mossenger, who ran full speed with it to the next ham- let, presenting It to the chief man with a single word—the name of the rendezvous. He in turn must forward it with iike speed to the mext ham. need have no fears. STRICTLY SANITARY OFFICE . If these appeal to you, call for charge for consultation: DR. F. C. JACKSON 203 MAIN ST.
