While so much- attention is being given in this country to the extensién of our trade to the South American countries, which dught to be doing a greater business in normal times with the United States, it is well to recog- nize that this.is not the only direc- tion- in which it is possble to develop pur business with other nations. It was only a short time ago that attention was directed to the need of. reestabiishing a commercial treaty between this country and Russia. That country has bought extensively here in the pas:, but ir the opinion of a commercial agent representing that nation, who is at the present time in this country, there is no reason why this should not be even, greater following . the war. It is Lis opinion that too few Americans have a knowl- dge of the Kussian market, lJanguage wnd trade methods, but if the effort w made to change this situation it ems entirely piausible that this bar- riar couid be overcome. It is much the same that exists in South Amer and while we are attempting to get in closer touch on that continent there is no sood reason Why, similar aétiv- ity should not be manifested in an effort to bid for Russian trade on'a areater scale 1f foreign trade is going to be de- veloped preparations must be made It is not surprising that the poace proposal ma¥le by Germany and its allies, from such suggestions as_to the actual terms as have been ad- vanced, has failed to create a fa- vorable impression among the entente allies. Germany is taking advantage of the conditions, which on the sur- face are certainly in its favor, to put un end to the war and it is of course seeking all the benefits which might be,_expected therefrom, but the en- tente are not ready to admit that they are beaten nor that they have not an excellence chance for victory such as they desire. Repeatedly has it been announced trom the capitals of the allied coun- tries, by spokesmen for thc govern- ments, that there are certain wrongs which must be righted, that the 1 nations must be restored, that peate cannot be arranged until it will mean permanent peace and not another war within a few years and that there must be an end put to Prussianism. It is manifest from the terms as far s known; ¥hat, such would not be se- cured by the allies, and there is no evidence - that -they are mot as fully determined as ever to worlk to the goal which they have fixed. Thus it can be expected that their answer will be unfavorable, as soon as they have an opportunity to consider the actual proposition, and this is further antici- pated by the manner in which it is \ready received by leading men and the press of England and France. Germany of course will get the etredit for having made the sugzes- tion, at a time when everything is going well with its armies, though’ perhaps not so favorably financially and economically. It gives an oppor- tunity for the discussion of a con- ctrete proposition, but it can be imag- ined that the demands of the allies will still' be ‘such that mno end of the war can be expected for some time to come, however mueh the end of the slanghter and privation. is needed. BIRD PROTECTION TREATY. In connection wi the important step which has been taken<-in this eountry through federal legislation for the protection of the migratory bifds, that they may bei saved from extermination, an understanding of no' little value' has been reached between this ccuntry and Canada for the extension of the same protection beyond the borders of the respective countris These countries reached an agresment some time ago in this] respect but the treaty upon this sub- ject, bearing thc approval of King Georze has just been sizned, so that as far as these birds are concerned, whether they are north or ‘south of the boundary line between the United Prates and Cana they will not b hunted with the freedom ‘which they have been in the past. -, It was vegognized = following doption of the. fegalations the this country that the birds ieh ct from the north to the south, or versa, in ordance with the sea- sons, were seriously menaced the min- ute they.emtered (anada and if they wefe to get the protection which was desired and which they’ desetved the Dominion should take similar steps ns this country. The idea fell on fer- tile ground with the resalt that the aw which was so. strongly supported by Senator Mclean, and which bears his' name now covers a much greater territory and is bound, when proper- Iy enforced to .bring the results de- sired. It a step which has long bheen needed and it is bat natura! that there should be rejoicing among many more than the hird iovers that it has been taken. FRANCE'S CABINET CHANGES. By the changes which have be/ made in the French cabinet, it is of déat that Premier Briand has bi } able to accomplish what was sousht Jn England but-without #° caiinat for it. If we lack an understanding of conditions at these very points about the worid where our manufac tures could be placed as well as thos of .other nations, the need of over coming that, situation must be appar- ent and the quicker it can. be done the greater will be the benefits and the quicker they will be felt. We ap- parently need to get better acquainted with the world. WORKING WAY THROUGH COL- There is aiways much of interest in the annual report of President Hadley of Yale University, but this is par- ticularly true of that part of it which refers to the work which has been done by the students towards mect- ing the expenses of a college educa=- tion. The university maintains a bu- reau for the aid of those who need to or are inclined to put in what spare time they can get doing most any honorable jobs that happen to turn up. That this appeals to a large num- ber is iMdicated by the fact that there were 845 students who earned nearly a guarter of a millibn dolars during instance, the ‘effect of which should } “Its perfectly drendful:” cricd the pretty girl who wore glasses bursting linto the room where sat the others. “About the club dance'™ “Why?

Geographlc Socluty Piraeus—The commercial toric importance of the Greex city of Piraeus, where many stirring incidents have so recently occurred, is set forth in the following war geograpny bulle- tin issued from Washington by the Nztional Geographic society When the tugs of the entente al- lies towed the battleships of Gresce's modern navy out of the port of Piraeus the incident marked a striking transi- tion from the events which 1early 2,400 vears ago resulted in the birth of Athens’ first navy in the same swaters. Jt was during those perilous days when the Persian hordes under Xerxes, unstayed by the sacrifice of Leonidas and his immortal Sparizns at Ther- mopylae, threatened to blot out Attic culture, that Athenms, upon consulting the Deiphic_oracle, received this enig- matic promise: “When evarything else in the land of Cecrops shail be {aien Zeus grants to Athens that the wooden walls alone shall remain unconyuered to defend you and your children.

He assembled all the Hel- us, while the women and chidren ofl lenic soldiers on the wooden ships at Salamas, just a few miles from Pirae- the were sent to the protection _of those other wooden walls,”the forests of the neighboring hills. The floatin; walls proved their worth, and Xerxes’ power was broken by the decisive Athenian victory, 200 of the enemy’s ships being destroyed “The adhersents of King Constantine no doubt viewed with bitterness and woe the sad spectacle of the steel de- scendants of this first navy as, 'im- potent to resist, a Frenth admiral in- corporated them'in his alien fleet. “Piraeus, where this most recent chapter in the history of the Athenian navy was written, is the chief seaport of Greece, situated on a rocky penin- sula only five miles southwest of the and his- the past year, including vacation per- iods, and that they with those who received help through scholarships ewarded invariably through merit numbered about thirty per cent. of the university’s total enroliment. The opportunity which is thus af- forded to work one’s way through col- lege is apparently appreciated and unquestionably a large proportion of those who pay their way would be unable to get the benefit of the shigher education if it were not for this chance which is open to them. At the same time it mrast be realized that [hor who are thus brought to know. tfe value of a dollar are the most likely to mcke the most of their education.

All of a sudden the imparial govern- ment of Germany is manifesting great interest in the sufferings of neutrals.

Tourists landing here gen- erally prefer to make the journey to the great acropelis in an hour’s de- lightful drive, the carriage road follow- ing one of the walls buiit by Pericles to connect the naval base with the famed center of Attic culture. “Modern Piraeus is a flourishing city of about 75,000 inhabitants, with num- erous industrial activities uch as textile mills, macaroni factories and tanneries, but its chief business, of course, is shipping, for it has the fin- est harbor in Greece. It really has three natural harbors, the one on the northwest side of the peninsula being the important place for anchorage for vessels of deep draft, while the two smaller harbors, on the scutheast side. are less valuable besins for small craft. “After Greece obtained her inde- pendenc and Athens beeame the cap- ital of the modern nation in 1834, Pi- raeus raised its head grom the ashes of decay. The very name Piraeus had, in the centuries intervening since its greatness, disappeared from the map, and in its place appeared ‘Porto Leoni,’ a fishers’ village, which derived its name from the figure of a lion that had stood here until the Venetians took it away in the 17th century. “When Pericles built the ‘long walls’ connecting Piraeus with Athens, and a third wall which included Phaleron, (the seaport of Athens before the days of Themistocles) he enclosed an area sufficiently large to accommodate the whole population of Attica. Piraeus, built in accordance with plans drawn by Hippodamus. of Miletus, who after- ward laid our Rhodes, soon became al- most a second Athens. Indeed the area between the walls was virtually one city with two centers: Piraeus\ was the natural dwelling place of the subject citizens devoted to industry and trade, while Athens remained the stronghold of the aristocratic or con- vative element. When the capital fell before the Spartzns in 404 B the long walls were leveled and the fortifications of the naval base destroved.

BILIL. Norwich, Dec. 13, 1916. Temperance Work. Mr. Editor: It has been pleasing in- deed to read in the newspapers of the great and increased intercst, and the work that is, and has been going on in the temperance cause. There are both men and women who have no respect for law nor order and if we had prohibition in our land they would not hesitate to get intoxicants at any risk, but there are thousands who would never touch the accursed stuff if the rum and Deer saloons were not allowed tp sell it. If there is any truth in/the Dassage of scripture, “That the sins of the fathers shall be visited on the children from the third to the fourth generation” surely they must descend to the children of the wholesale and retail liquor _dealer. How any man who was made after God’s own image can place such stufi before another and have a aeart and conscience is not understandable. If it were not for the fear of being hung or receiving a life sentence ~many more murders would be committed and though prohibition may not ve a perfect success in all respects and may fail in some cases, if we hav honest officials, who will do all in their power to see that the laws are enforced would not prohibition be a Godsend to all homes and hearts that have been broken up and crushed by the trafic? And though it may have saved a few lives wouid it not be bet- ter for that few to have died than for the millions to have been hurried to their graves by its abuse. I have wit- nessed sights on Franklin square that wouid make any man who had a heart, sick and fajnt. and only in one case have I e seen another man offer aid. Some of the religious fapatics think and fail to understand why their pray. ers are mot all answered when they pray for the wars to end.

Oh, no, it’s deeds that counts with God, 1ot words. Are all the professing Chris- tian men voting for rum or against it? Women can Dy their vetes put out and down the abominable rum traffic.
