A new stand by Germany regarding {mbmarino warfare is ev . nished by the ently fur- announcement from {Berlin regarding -the sinking of the Arabia. Some time ‘ago Germany ipromised that liners would not be at- {tacked and sunk without warning and |1t knows that this country has held ~ |that Hners have a right to carry a \gun for defense purposes. The steam- J#hip Arabia, on its way front England 4to India with one or more American Teltizens aboard was attacked and sunk Mn the Mediterranean without receiv- ing any warning. i~ Contrary to other Instances where submarine warfare rules have appar- ently been violated Germany has not claimed that the steamer was running away. It has not attempted to say hgt it was warned or that after be- dng warned it showed fight. It has pot claimed that the Arabia attempt- ed to sink or actually fired upon one of itg submarines. but it has admitted that the vessel with several hundred aboard was torpedoed and it offers as the excuse that it wasan armed frans- rt and such a elaim wis made when It made !ts report concerning the af- fadr asserting that the lives aboard ‘were frivolously risked as on previ- ous occasions. It has not been the’custom of any country to carry passengers on an ar- my transport. The Arabia was a . steamer engaged in trade and not in , the.service of the admiraity although it may have carried war supplies and Tontraband. ‘The attempt to consider it “there. fore an army transport marks anew de- parture. Germany is apparently being used as an excuse for getting around its promises and it presents a situa- tlon which this country cannot over- look. THE OUDEST MONARCH. ' The death of Pmperor Franz Josepl of Austro-Germany comes not as @ from the opening of the war, and even /before, that it was realized that it was Mkely to occur at most any time, and his age gave little hape to the con- Atrary. He has made a hard fight and ‘hag probably gone through more d- A versity ond tragic events than any other monarch of the present day. He hag the record of 68 vears as ruler ite the obstacles which he Kas been forced to meet. That his death would have meant ‘more to that dual monarchy in times .. | Df peace is evidenced by the fact that It has often been maintairfed that his pdssing would mean the separation of Austria and Hungary, but the fact < ihat the empire is now at war and is fominated by German influence Is likely to overcome that possibility. ( The fecbleness of the aged ruler has been overlooked as is disclosed by plang)for making his successor a co-regent upon his comins anniver- as emperor. Arehduke Karl Joseph therefore comes to the throne during troublesome times and from the fighting which he has been on. the eastern front. Whether Mot he will be In a position to alter any way the courso which that fyihas been pursuing, even if he disposition, remains to be seen hly probable that he' will to, off the German critical period.

This can be realized when it is understood that the gross area of the state of Conuecticut is only a trifle over three million acres which would mean that territory in this country 25 times as large as this state is now useless but can be made it for agricultural operations by the expenditure of ‘the proper amount of time and effort in deaining it. The terrors of swamp land which existed . when the mosquitoes were such a peril have been:greatly reduced and with the employment of sanitary measures, such as were adopted in the construction of the Panama cana! and in 6ther sections ¥here the dan- ger from this pest has been nullified, It can bé appreciated that a big op- portunity exists for not only wg. coming waste but of deriving a profit from what is' now entirely usefes: Much has heen dofie along such lines in the past but there is.still pienty of chanee for it to be continued with excellent results. What the reclamatfon of this swamp land would mean is indicated by the fact thatithis area which could be made avallable is about 72 per cent. of the entire acreage of our present corn crop and twice the average acreage planted to cotton. LOOKS BAD FOR RUMANIA. Tondon is not hiding the fact that 1t considers the situation in Rumania pret! close to desperate. It realizes the significance of the advance by General Talkenhayn into that coun- try from the nerthwest, the speedy manner in which he has taken advan- tage of the ground whieki he has gain- ed, the severing of the main railroad line between Bucharest and Orsova and the capture of the important grain center Craiova. This has all been accomplished in spite of the assistance which has been given to the Rumans by the Rus- sians, the driving back of General von Mackensen in the Dobrudja prov- i he advance of the Serbs and al- in Macedonia and the danger which is threatened to Trieste by the Italians. From all indlcations the Teutonic forces are devoting their su- preme effort at the present time to the success of this drive and they are getting much encouragement from the progress that fs being made. Falken- hayn has met with resistance but not such that he has not been able to push aside. It Is even possible that he has so severed the Rumanian force at Orsova that it will be of little usc In the general defense of the country although it may ‘be in a position to hold out for somé time before being forced to surrender. The jatest move has nevertheless weakened the Ru- manians seriously. It balances for the time Dbeing -the fall of Monastir and If it can be continued, with a possible rally on the part of Mackensen the outlook for that Balkan country is de- cidedly sloomy. * EDITORIAL NOTES.

FATR PLAY. 1916, Norwich, November STORIES OF THE WAR The Care of the Dead. In keeping with all other phases of the war, order has come at last in the care of the dead. Where all was top- sy-turvey two yeare age in the first pell-mell rush to battle, and where there was hittle time to bury men even where they fell, the British now have evolved an organization and a system of dealing with this sves-growing prob- lem which will at least relieve the be- and anxiety of the unknown grave. At the beginning of the war men were buried near, the 4renches only to have their grayes hlown away by ex- ploding shelis the very next day. But many remained, and some have been identified as the Allies have fought their way slowly back over part of the ground once oecuied by he Ger- mans. Where there was hard fighting in France and Pelgium, the eve of the traveler along the roads today is struck by many low crosses sticking out of the ground in the felds. in cottage gardens, - in corners of farmyards and orchards, even on the roadside strips of grass. Where the ground has changed nands a ood Jeal in the course of the war one can see, within @ few hundred yards of each other, the gabled and eaved cross of the Ger- mans, the “Heir ruht in Gott' and a reaved at home of, the added torment |, name painted white on a dark back- ground; the beaded wire wreath of the French' with its Requiescat or “Mort pour lz Framce” and the“plain lined cross of the English, white or light brown, or just —unpainted wood. “In loving memory,” or one or more officers and men. The very position of some of these isolated memorials is eloquent. Near Fricourt, on what used to be “No Man's Land” until the English won it the past ‘summer, a number of English Ccrosses stand to the memory of un- known French soldiers. This was part. of the line turned over to tke Eng- lish by the French. “We leave you our trenches and our dead”, they said. ‘When the English offensive began last | July and the first Jine German trenches were carried by storm, it was one of the first cares of the Eritish Tommies to bury the bodies of their Fiénch comrades, some having lain in the fire- swept zone since Jate i To some officers the buried where they fal!, and have there erected even the modest little memorial of a roughly hewn cross, is &n honor, greater than the shelter of Westmin- ster Abbey.

On each grave, at the foot of its wooden cross, there is still stuck in the earth, neck downward the botle in which the first hasty record of lhe. interment was placed. A few days agn a woman in_deep mourning visited one of the French e@emeteries with 2 Landful of white flowers. She was arranging ‘hese on one of the Fremch graves when one of the usual litrle barcheaded pro- cessions with an nglish chaplain in front, passed by. On the stretener was a body eewn up in a brown army blanket, a big Union Jack lving over it. The woman rose, amd syiy, with some of the flowers rtill in her hand, fell in at the rear of the procession. As the chaplain was realing “dust to dyst”, and “ashes to ashes” the'little French womah was kneeling on the ground.
