It 15 delivered to over 8,000 of the 4,053 houses in Nor- wich and read by ninety-three per cent. of the people.

Eastern Connecticut has forty- nine towns, one hundred and sixty- any too strong when he declares that the white pine and other' five leaved pines of the United States end Can- ada are threatened with extinction by the white pine blister rust, a fungus disease, imported from Europe, and unless it is checked it will wipe out our white pines valued at $260,000,000 as our chestnuts are being wiped out | by _the chestnut blight. The disease is preventable, but not curable. Much depends-upon the ef- forts made t s stopping the prop- agation.. The s propagate on the currant and gooseberry bushes. Just as long as no effort is made to eradi- cate such breeding mlaces the white pines must suffer, and just as long as such stock as well as white pine scedlings can be transported freely about the country, whether they come from the infested district, or not, the greater. will be the spread of the dis- ease. Perfectly reasonable measures can be adopted for meeting the situa- tion. There is value enough involved in the white pines to warrant deter- mined action and it remains to be seen wheother the various states in the ecast and north can be brought to a proper realization of the situation. There should be no guestion as to what they ought to do, but the great problem appears to be to get them started before it is too late. LAX ENFORCEMENT OF REGULA- TIONS. What ounts to a much needed mmmmug the lax enforcement of the law relative to the stopping of automobiles while electric cars are taking on or letting off passengers, is furnished by a member of the United States Geologicai Survey, T. Nelson Dale, at Springfield, when in a letter to the Springfield Republican he tells of two members of his family nar- rowly escaping injury while alighting from cars. He expresses his amaze- ment at the lack of regulation and declares that in Washington no auto Is allowed to come within ten feet of either end of a trolley when stopped for the convenience of passengers. ‘What Mr. Dale complains of in five postoffice districts, and sixty 1ural free delivery routes.

Just what the result of the new manifestation of strength on the part of Villa is going to be remains to be seen. Carranza has notbeen disposed to accept the finding of the commis- sioners named by both countries with- out a thorouch personal study there- of, and he has been unwilling to com- ment thereon, which might indicate that the impression which he had gained was not entirely satisfactory, even though provision is made for the withdrawal of the force under Gen- eral Pershing, which he has been secking almost from the time they crossed the border. 5 This punitive expedition, however, was sent into Mexico both for the runninz down of Villa and for the rotection of the border towrs against further raids of the kind which was made upon Columbus. Since these troops were called off from thelr pur- suit of the handit leader they have been engaged solely for the preven- tion of further raids, and now Car- ranza wants that to end. This has heen agreed to with the understand- ing that the de facto government will look after its side of the border and that the United States forces will eross into Mexico if it becomes neces- gary to pursue outlaw gangs. Yet while the ink was hardly dry on the signatures of the delegates ap- proving the agreement, Villa drives the Carranza forces out of Chihuahua and raids the city. He is in turn forced out but he has demonstrated that the Carranza troops are unable to control his actlons. This doesn’t speak weil for the government which s obligated to prevent further affairs like that at Columbus, for If Villa can do that against a Carranza force In a prominent Mexican city, it can be eppreciated that his opportunities are much.more favorable 2long the border. It is thus apparent that Villa has shown Carranza .that the latter’s strength is not what he claims it to be. 3¢ £ RUSSIA AND POLAND. Tt is noticeable feature of the ad- dress made tb the Russlan duma by Premier Trepoft that he deals with the Polish question. This may, or may not, have been the result of the recent action of Germany and Austria In granting freedom to the Poles in certain sections which they had con- guered from the Russians, but the fleclaration was nevertheless expected as the result thereof. It was neces- sary that Russia should at least re- Iterate its promises in regard to what It intends to do for the Poles follow- Ing the war. This the premier sets forth in posi- tive terms when he says that one part of the task before them 1s to recover the kingdom of Poland temporarily fetached by force of arms. But that e declares 18 \not enough for ‘“we must wrest from eur enemies terri- tories, formerly Polish, beyond the old frontier. We will then reconstitute Poland, free within its ethnological boundaries, but inseparably unlted with Russia.” Such is what the Poles have been looking for. It means that the Rus- tian idea of restoring Poland is to in- tlude therein all that was formerly Poland, and not simply such sections s it may be able to secure from the memy. This of course includes,Prus- Man Poland about which much anxiety has existed ever since the Teutons made their move for a free Poland. Bach side has thus set forth its posi- lion gnd it rests for the Poles to de- tide where they are going to throw their influence,” or whether they are foing to remain passive and await de- relopments. ~ WHITE PINES ENDANGERED! Steps have already been taken by )rganizations and by states for the rurpose of checking the spread of the vhite pine blister rust. There is a arge section of this country which is hreatened by this disease and the Springfield, he might find occasion to do elsewhere in many other cities. Tt Is a situation which the Philadelphia Ledger has found it necessary to pro- test against in that city where a mo- tor truck knocked down a pedestrian who had just alighted from a trolley “That stout man_ over there makes me think of my boy,” the out-of-town customer told Wilkinson, as they went into the private office and shut the door. “It mekes me= laugh every time I think of it.” “Have a chair and tell me abont it,”™ ‘Wilkinson said affably. “Try a cigar out of that dJark box.

Of course, we don’t say a word about it, but I suppose the fellows make him remember. There isn't auy rea- son in the world why he should be fat, either because my wife and I and all our folks are laths, so I imagine he’ll lose it after a while.

It takes something terrible to get most boys to that point.” “These are days of typewrilers,” the customer chuckled. “I've got an old one at home that the kids use and ‘when it isn’t too dirty or too full of oil it works fairly fe “Makes their literary labors seem like play, I suppose:” “‘Well, that was a pretty good iet- ter, if 1 do say it,” the customer said. “There wasn't a misspelled woid in it.

There are many cities, and Norwich is amongst them, where more attention should be directed to the upholding of this pro- tection to people boarding or leaving trolley car: GREAT BE%I_'AIN’S NEW CRISIS. That Great Pritain-is undergoing another of the important crises of the war 1s made plain by the demand for another shakeup in the cabinet. This has been in the air for some time but it has been brought to a focus by the resignation of David Lloyd George, minister of war, in whom the country has unbounded faith, but who has manifested his dissatisfaction with the manner in which his country is prosecuting the great war. Blunder has followed blunder. There has been a lack of decision and an apparent failure to take advantage of opportunities when opportunities were presented. This ‘has. ‘brought about dissatisfaction €nd a demand for a change even to the dropping of Premier Asquith, - ‘While thers is still as strong a dif- ference as ever between the political parties in England, .such can hardly be attributed to the present trouble. It is apparent that Great Britain is looking for the greatest efficlency in the prosecution of the war and it does not believe that it is getting it. It needs a cabinet which can meet the emergencies as they arise, meet them with prompt decision and overcome some of the dilatory practices which haves featured the past. The feeling thal reat Britain has not been doing its part in the manner which it should is evidenced by the prime minister ad- vising King George to consent to a reconstruction of the government with a view to the most effective prose- cution of the war. Certainly if all that is needed is to get the right men in the cabinet-to improve Great Brit- ain’s position it is but natural that the people should demand it and have their demands respected.

THE WAR PRIMER By National Geographic Soclety = Schondrunn.—Less than three miles southwest of the Ring-Strasses, which surrounds the inner city of Vienna, is the impressive pile of masonry known as Schonbrunn, where some of the most dramatic episodes in the history of Austria have been staged and whcre only a few days ago the sorrow-strick- en Emperor Francis Jeseph’s death brought to a close a phenomenal reign of 68 years. A National Geographic so- ciety bulletin of the war geography series gives the following description of the royal summer residence &nd some of the episodes which have had a regal setting there: “With its more than 1,400 rooms, Schonbrunn isa splendid example of imperial residence modeled ‘on _the standard of the great palace at Ver- sailles. One of the striking peculiari- ties of this home of Austria’s royal famiiy, however, is that instead of crowning an eminence it is built on low ground, while the magnificent park of nearly\500 acres occupies the high ground, rising gradually from the palace doors until it terminates on a hill adorned with a beautiful colonade called the Gloriette. “Three important events on theyNa poleonic era were staged in the impe- rial apartments of Schonbrunn. The first was the treaty of 1805, signed here by Napoleon and Haugwitz, the latter acting for the king of Prussia. By this document Napoleon inflicted a humiliating defeat to the Prussian statesman, who agreed - to surrender Cleves ,Ansbach and Neuchatel to France in exchange for Hanover, whereas he had come to see the em- peror for the express purpose of de- liver a nultimatum demanding a re- turn of Hanover. In the same vear (December 27) Napoleon issued the proclamation of Schonbrunn in which the Bourbon dynasty in Naples was declared at an end. “Four years after Haugwitz’s Jumil- fation a spcond treaty of Schonbrunn was signed, the principals this time being Napoleon and Francis I, the Austrian emperor who less than a year later was to become the father-in-law of the ‘upstart Corsican. “On this ogcasién the emperor o® the French again drove a hard targain, but this time his antagonist had no al- ternative ,for the Austrian army had just sustained the crushing defeat at Wagram. The vanquished nation was forced to give up Salzzurg, a portion of Upper Austria, and extensive territory in Carinthia, Carniola, Croatia and along the Adriatic seaboard. In addi- tion Francis was compelled to relin- quish that share of the booty which had fallen to Austria in the third dis- memberment of Poland (1795). “Ome of the most pathetic scenes ever witnessed within the walls of thi spalace, erected by Maria. Theresa, was the final hour in the life of the unhappy Due de Reichstadt, son of Napoleon and the Austrian archduch- ess Marie Louise. The Eaglet, as he was called, was just 21 when he dled pled by his illustrious father on one of tuberculosis in a room once occu- of the occasions when he held Schon- brunn as his military headquarters. A perhaps too highly colored and historically warped but superbly ap- pealing picture of this heathbed has been given to e world by the dis- tinguished poet#playwright of Frange, Edmond Rostand, in his widely known drama of L’Aiglon. “Schonbrunn stands on the site of a hunting lodge built in 1570 and en- larged in the following century when it received the present name after a ‘beautiful fountain’ which adorned the grounds. Durin# the Tuhkish invest- men tof 1683 the lodge was destroyed bpt a nmew building was begun thir- teen years later. The palace assumed its present imposing outlines during the reign .of Maria Theresa and her son, Emperor Francis Joseph IL. “One of the novel features of Schon- brunn is its amazing number of kitch- “Anyhow, I had an old letter-head of a customer of our who sold medicine and called himself a company. The name sounded like a big concern and I was quite sure it would be certain to impress any boy of 12 with its im- portance, so I wrote out the answer myself and mailed it on the train so it ‘wouldn't have the postmark of any town. I used a strange typewriter and there wasn't a thing about the letter to connect me with the affair at all. “What the dickens did you tell him?” “I told him the strict trut the out-of-town customer answered with a laugh. “I said he was not in need of medicine at all but should exercise more. 1 told him that if he would run up and down #tairs on errands for his parents and go to the store for his mother several times a day he would soon lose a considerable number of pounds.” “It strfkes me you were killing two birds with one stonz,” said Wilkinson, much amused. “It certainly was a clever stroke.” “That’s what I thought, myself,” the customer declared. *“But my boy had the last word. Of course he never dreamed that I had had snything to do with the matter, so when I ‘asked him if he had heard frofn the doctor I knew he had no idea that I was to blame for the preseription.” “Did he decide to follow the doctor’s advice?” “Not he!” laughed the out-af-town customer. “He said he had neard from the man, but that he had no intention of doing as he suggested. He sald tho man was 0o physician at all, he could easily see that—nothing but a quack! —Ilsxchange. STORIES OF THE WAR Protecting the Suez Canal, The buiiding of the roads necessi- tated in"the defense work at the Suez Canal has been an ardous process. The earth has been excavated literally by basketfuls. Most of the labor has been done by thousands of natives employed at high wages. = Armed with sktovels and b: ets, the natives have.made the roadbeds, carrying the sand out on their should- ers. The country where the roads Yiave been run is comparatively level, but in numerous-instances it has been necessary to make quite deep cuts through the dures. For rock ballast stone was brought through the canal from various points and transported by train to the des- ert. Along the sweet-water canal, which runs near the ship waterway, a num- ber of -big tiltration plants and pump- ing stations have hcen established and pipe lines have been laid to within a short distance of the extreme outposts. The water is syphonad from the plarts which are on the west bank of the canal, under the canal, and is then pumped out to the various stations along the way. From the ends of the lines the water is carried to the out- posts by camels. All told the pipe lines now completed total over a hun- dred miles. In the territorv between the out- posts and the cinal there are many well laid camps for thousands of troops. Everywhere there is intense but methodical activity. Neatly built wocden and steel build- ings are located where only the Be- douin’s tent has stood before. Whist- ling locomotives and tootirg automo- biles go rushing past long strings of heavily laden and flow-moving camels and donkeys. Khaki-clad Avstralan and English soldiers, negro troops from the West Indies. robed and tur- baned Egyptians, and Indians in their native garb, wo: ogether, forming :xn‘ unusual picture with is desert sct- ng. Health conditicne are said to be ex- cellent, the percentage of sickness av- eraging about one and one-haif per cent. Few of those in the hospitals are seriously ill. Cectainly the sol- diers look ,exceedingly fit, and the same may be said of the animals. One of the precautions taken for the protection of the canal has been the flooding of considerable tracts of land. Aviators daily scout aktout the desert and patrol boats continually pass up and down the waterway. Fur- ther measures have been instituted ‘which cannot be mentioned her Of the operations in the west there is little to be said. The work of the British troops who are lookirg after the Senussi tribesmen now consists largely of patrol duty and there is said to be no trouble of contequence. ‘The madintenance of martill law necessitates the presence of consid- erable numbers of troops throughout the country for pnlize duty. There appears to be no disposition on the part of General Murray to interfere with the customs and pursuits of the people except where necessary for the welfare of the ruilitary operations. However, he is.a stern discipiinarian, and one thing that he has devoted much attention to has been the stamp- ing out of various forms of vice which flourish in Egypt. As a result, it is said, that the moral tene of the whele country has been ralsed to a higher level. Many tributes of respect for General Murray’s werk are heard. General Murray insists on personal superw¥ision of all his work. There is no part of tae canal zone that he dces not know intimately and he spends days at a time inspecting the opera- tions. He has his finger on every de- tail and he is quick in decision on all questions. His plans for the remainder of his campaign are a matter of much spec- ulation, however. one another if tne commander ulti- mately wiil lead them out to battle with the Turks ard reclim this ter- ritory. But when the subject is broached the General inerely smiles to say: “Who can tell what the future may develop?” LETTERS TO THE EDITOR Lincoln and Lee. ‘Mr. Editor: When I first began to read the letter signed C. B. Montgom- ery or “A Cloud Digger,” as I have taken him to be, I thought I would treat it as it deserved, with silent contempt, for the reason that it was an ungentlemanly ‘one to say the least, but afterwards I decided to make a reply. If the southland is all that he terms it would it not be an act of gharity for him to visit some of his good long-faced Christian brethren and collect funds to send a missionary down into the heathen country so that the *“lazy white women” the “re- bel traitors” might have opportu- nity to repent before their souls should be forever lost? Then again would not his dying pillow be made easier, would not his crown be ‘with more precious gems, and would he not find waiting at the Golden Gate, ready to receive in case he should be so fortunate as to reach there, Sher- man, Butler and last, but not least, John Brown? Has Mr. Montgomery in his travels in the south been to Thunderbolt, near Savannah, Ga. and seen the fine school for colered peo- ple also other schools, and are the Negroes obliged to live there if they are ill treated, and where there are longer no slaye-owners to mistreat them?

Has his life he- come so embettered and his nature B0 warped that he can see no good in them? Are not the southerners up- on the whole acknowledged by all— even many-—of the northerners to- be e loyal and hospitable people? Then why is he so bitter towards them? If I was a woman suffragist I might discuss politics, but as I know too lit- tle about them and am only interested In the party that is trying to put the liquor dealer out of business, I have nothing to write upon the political subject. Neither Lee, Jackson, Jefferson Da- vis, nor any of the Confederate lead- ers were educated by the United States government, but had they been, they were nevertheless gentlemen, and I's only the narrow-minded envious Unionist who would dare to cast a slur upon them, and if the low, ignor- ant white hands were called in to help the Negro slaves or servants out when th ebusy seasons opened, and many things that were wrong and de- grading occurred could the slave or Negro owners prevent it? Not at all. A study of Linc and Lee would lead to’a broader citizenship. Out of the agony of out civil conflict .rose two men who in moral stature and In sight into affairs were almost super- human—Lee and Lincoln. Between them was a remarkable likeness. Both were patives of the south; but in the world-old struggle bequeathed from England, one became the champion of the Puritan, the other the embodi- ment of the cavalier. Lincoln was the child of shiftless parents; Lee was the best born man in America. Lincoln was homely and often at first sight gave offense. Lee was handsome and never failed to command admiration. Lincoln forged through harassing ad- versities, that he might mount and uplift. T.ee refused emoluments and honors that he might stoop to serve, Lincoln hailed the outcome of thd contest with malice toward none, with charity for all. Lee grettéd it with the manly statement, “I believe it is the duty of every citizen in the pres- ent condition of the country to do all in his power to aid in the restoration of peace and .harmony. Lincoln in the hour when his spirit triumphed was defeated in body. Lee at the time when his body was defeated tri- umphed in spirit. If we subscribe to the plea of Lomar, My countrymen know one another and you will love one another. We should earnestly study the soul of Lincoln and- the soul of Lee. SOUTHERNER.

OTHER VIEW POINTS 7 Jacob Schiff, the f: us New York banker, having declared that the worst temptation that besets young men is young women, cynics. jesters and oth-, ers are having no end of first class’ fun about that doctrine. TAe sober inside of Jacob Schiff’s cynical remark is that as a comment on life it is both bunk and punk, so far as it relates to the grea: majority cf women in the world of today. We all know that It is beyond all doubt or question that God's best gift to! man is woman—the dcarest, best, most * paratively few. helpful, most inspiring and sweetest! creature ever possessed by mankind.!
