CIRCULATION AVErage....ccceeceee.... 4,412 1901, WELCOME TO THE GRANGERS Norwich extends a most hearty welcome to the representatives of the granges throughout the state who are assembled here this week for the an- nual meeting of the Connecticut State Grange. None too often does the city have the privilege of entertaining such a representative gathering of Connec- ticut people banded together for the development of the rural interests of the commonwealth. It is therefore gratified at the opportunity to greet the visitors and to extend its hospi- tality throushout the session. No organization has a chance to do more or. is actually accomplishing more for the farmers of the present day than the grange. It is an organ- ization which is bringing the people of the rural communities together for a better understanding of themselves and their needs. It is making them realize the value of cooperative ac- tien b: g for themselves col- lectively ad of individually. The grange has made great strides. It is filling a lons felt want but its record of accomplishment only points out the many ways in which it has an oppor- tunity for bringing about still better results. The health and vigor of the Connecticut State Grange is manifest ed by the large number of dclezates who are in attendance, for with such} interest it is evident that the subor- dinate granges are important factors in their respective communities. They are working in a cause which Is de- serving of the greatest success and which should do more than anything else in getting the farm industry on the basis where it belongs. THE RED CROSS APPEAL. The appeal which has been put forth by President lson in behalf of increased financial a ance for the carrying on of the great work which is being done by the American Red Cross ouszht not to fall upon bar- ren ground, and there are reasons to believe that it will not if the Interest of civilization which has been mani- the central powers has been everything before it and the the fortified town of Fokshani causes much doubt as to the ability of the Russo-Rumanians to carry out their plan of making a stand on the iine of the Sereth. ‘Wherever it has been apparent that the Russians were preparing to dis- pute the progress of the enemy, Mack- ensen has found little or no difficulty in sending such forces to carry that point, or to outflank the Russian lines, and the result has been that Ruman- ilan cities have been won, onme, two, three and four at a time, without very serious losses on the part of the at- tacking army. The Teutons have sained large supplies and captured many prisoners as they have ad- vanced. - Where they are going to be stop- ped must be a question that is worry- ing not only~Rumania but Russia. They are getting to a point where they are soon going to be able to threaten some of Russia’s important cities if in fact Odessa is not already ir objective and it must be realized those in command of the czar's by forces that the quicker they can be stopped the easier will be the task of doing so. Mackensen appears to be doing in Rumania just what he did some months ago in Galicia and Po- land. It is possible Russia is suffer- from the same handicaps that it cxperienced then. MINING THE PATHS OF SHIP- PING. A story which if based upon fact es to show how little consideration is given to neutral shipping in the ef- forts of the central powers to destroy enemy shipping, is told by the offi- cers of the American steamship Alas- kan which has arrived at Boston from St. Nazaire, France. This concerns the destruction of a German subma- rine by a French patrol boat after it had been rammed by a British steam- er while the underwater boat was laying mines. Such mine laving it was recognized by all congerned was for the pur- pose of destroying the ships of the enemy, but it must be appreciated that enemy vessels are by no means the only ones which are likely to be in that locality, and that regardless of whether it is an enemy or a neu- | tral vessel which strikes the mine se- rious damage if not loss of life is bound to follow. The indiscriminate scattering of mines in steamship lanes is on a par with the ruthless killing of non com- batants. There is nothing in the rules of civilized warfare which in any way justifies it, but on the con- trary it is recognized as belng just what it is, an act of rank barbar- ity which ought not to be resorted to even in, the case of enemy mer- chantmen for they are at least enti- tled to be warned and the proper pro- tection given to the lives of those aboard. Such, however, is not given. The mine ciaims everything which happens to be in its path but it is decidedly discreditable to the nation that resorts to such conduct without first giving warning of their location. GERMANY’S FOOD SUPPLY. Just what the conditions are in the central powers as far as the supplies of food are concerned are difficult to judge. Reports come to the effect that fested in the past is maintained. The Red Cross has a record to be proud of for the work which It has done since the war broke out in Eu- rope. - It is orzanized to relleve suf- fering wherever it exists and the part which it has played in this great en- deavor is thoroughly understood. When the president says that this orgamiza- tion of our countrymen has brought relief to every nation in the great war it is but a general statement of a great fact for it is known that its funds have been used not only to re- lieve the suffering on the battlefields but in caring for those who have been left at home, where outrages, priva- tions and diseasé have caused inde- scribable conditions. Wherever there has been a chance to render aid it has bzen willingly fur- nished insofar as the funds would permit, but it is because the money which makes it possible to send doc- tors, nurses, food, clothing and other aid is limited that more has not been done, and it is for this very reason that additional funds are now being asked for. It is certainly a most wor- thy cause. It is one in which all and not a few shouid participate and those who contribute while the de- mand is the greatest e it possi- blz to accomplish the most good. The Red Cross is laboring to aid human- ity in distress and the cry of human- ity in distress is something which the remainder of the world cannot con- scientiously ignore. IS ODESSA THE OBJECT? idence continues to pile up to the effect that the Russians and Ruman- ians are finding it a greater task than they figured on to stop the oncoming Teutonic forces under Field Marshal Mackensen. Steadily have they forced backward. Whatever efforts have been made to rally their forces and such attempts as have been made to turn on the invaders have amount- cd to little. The persistent drive of though supplies are curtailed they are sufficient to meet requirements and to more than prevent starvation. One visitor to Germgny, who was oblized to o there on ‘cgal business and re- mained for a meriod of eight days, brings home word that he saw no evi- dence of suffering on the part of the people in the cities, and though there were restrictions it was not noticed that they had any ill-effects upon the populace. These views do not however exact- Iy jibe with the comments of certain of the German papers, or if they do they ocarefully refrain from making any reference to the situation that is confronted in the future, for the Taegliche Rundschau says “What are we to eat? As thouzh the existing conditions were not bad enough, signs now appear that the food difficulti are about to be further accentuated.” The Volk Zeitung of Cologne says “Whatever the outcome, the German and it urges them “to endure bravely whatever ill fate may have in store for us.” The Kreuzzeitung of Berlin refers to “poignant suffering” and urges the people to be “oblivious for the time of all discomfort and priva- tion.” This shows a difference of opinion but when taken with the fact that Ambassador Gerard carried back with him when he went a large quantity of supplies and the frequent references to food riots, there are grounds for thinking that all is not as fine as it might be regarding the question of food. EDITORIAL NOTES. Of course allowance has to be made this year for the fact that every good resolution is in danger of being tor- pedoed. The man on the corner sa: There is no evidence thus far to show that human nature is not just the same as it was last vear. That the kaiser is going to make another move for peace shows that he has not forgotten the fact that It's a long long way to Tipperary. Is it to be supposed that Senator Works’ farewell address In congress was his supreme effort to make it better for his having been there? There is no chance that the appeals in behalf of the Red Cross will re- sult in the receipt of greater funds than can be put to excellent use. The war debt of Europe is placed at $49,000,000,000. What a lot of good could have been done by the utiliza- tion of that sum in constructive peace work. Felix Diaz has issued a proclama tion to the effect that he will never return to Mexico. How that republic must wish that others would do like- wise. One does not have to search lons to be convinced that the action whic! the department of Jjustice threatens against the paper trust is entirely jus tified. If as one manufacturer claims substitute for leather has been foun from which shoes can be made for a pair, the public will at least be wil! ing to make a test. It is ha to _believe the tales « suffering related by thoss Belgiar who have been sent back from Ger many, after the way in which Beorll says it is working to aid them. The train stopped at \Onkhle and Patricia sighed audibly. The young man across the aisle, apparently ab- sorbed in the evening paper, looked up quickly. From underneath her lashes Patricia saw the glance and rejoiced. 'S0 he realizes | am a real human being and not a green plush seat, does he? That's something to fOrtify your depressed soul with, my dear,” she toid herself as the twramn started and dawdled along to klmwooa, her sta- ton. : ror two months he had been com- ing out on the same train with her, and never by the merest glance had he seemed to recognize her existence until tonight.

I seemed that lately all she aid was think of him during her waking hours, and last night she had even dreamed of, him. If only he would unbend a trifle, and she could scare up courage enough to—No! She never wouid. There were enough young men of her acquaintance who ~appreciated her charms. But then, what doth it pro- fit a girl if she gain the attentions of scores of men and suffer the loss of the only one worth caring about? During her preparations for the meeting of her sewing club at her home that evening, she was preoccu- pied and aware of a vague feeling of happiness. Even the girls' chatter and gossip failed to arouse her, and her unusual quietness did not escape the girls. “Why the deep thought?” asked one lightly. “Anything serious?” Patricia aroused herself, and spoke frivously. “Very serious, my dear. ‘When a man after your own heart doesn’t waste more than a half a look on you, that comes up to my idea of a tragedy. I shouldn’t mind if he were only an ordinary man ,but he's the ideal I've had ever since I was knee high to a grasshopper.” A ripple of amusement greeted her. “Raving again, Patsy?” laughed some- one. “I'm not raving,” was Patsy's in- dignant reply, “but I am discouraged. You see, he doesn’t happen to be—er —a friend of mine. Every night he comes out on the 6:16 and sits direct- ly opposite me, but he never notices my existence. He's the only man in the world I shall ever care about.” “You said the same thing about Dick Ames, Patsy. Surely you haven't forgotten him so soon.” Save for a faint flush in Patricia’s cheeks, the remark was ignored. “Some night,” she continued, defiantly, “I'm going to cast my pride to the winds, and then—well, a certain THE WAR PRIMER By National Geographic Soclety “Colmar, the German capital of Upper Alsace, whose aviation grounds are reported to have been bombarded by French airmen recently, is a place of sentimental interest for Americans as it was here that F. A. Bartholdi, the famous French sculptor of the Statue of Liberty in New York har- bor, was born,” says a bulletin of the | National Geographic Society issued in its war geography series. “Built on both sides of the Lauch, a_tributary of the Rhine, which flows about 10 miles to the east, Colmar is a thriving commercial and manufac- turing city of more than 40,000 in- habitants. It is only about twelve miles east of the French border and is 41 miles by rail south of Stra: burg on the main line to Basel, Swit- zerland. “The textile manufacturies consti- tute the chief industrial activity of the city. Silk, cotton and woolen weaving, and ' the manufacture of sewing thread are of prime import- ance, while the vineyards and pro- ductive fruit -orchards of the sur rounding country are a profitable ad- junct to the industrial life of the com- munity. “While much of the city is modern, with fine buildings and straighg streets, the inner town is particularly picturesque with some of its build- ings dating back to the time when the Emperor Frederick II declared this an imperial free city in the first half of the 13th century. Its rise to prom- inence at that time was due largely to the ambition and capacity of one of Frederick’s subjects, Woifelin, who surrounded the town with walls but who in the accumulation of vast wealth did not fortify himself against the envy of his sovereign. _The lat- ter confiscated much of Wolfelin's horded store of gold, and tradition says that the despoiled subject was murdered by his wife who was no less avaricious than he and feared that the emperor would confiscate her share of her husband’s holdings, un- less she ‘disassociated herself from him. “The civic rights granted to the city by Rudolph of Hasburg in 1274 served as a model for many other cities throughout the empire. The town prospered motably and two cen- turies later had attained a position of such power that it bade deflance to Charles the Bold. “During the _disastrous Thirty Years’ War, which laid so many ci- ties of Germany low, Colmar was at one time in the hands of the Swedes and at another a French possession. In 1673 the latter nation again occu- pied the town and proceeded to raze the fortifications. Eight years later Louis XIV annexed it to France by formal decree, and it remained in possession of that country as the cap- ital of the Haut-Rhin department un- til 1871 when, with the other cities of Alsace and Lorraine, it was added by conquest to the German empire. “In addition to Bartholdi, in whose honor a monument has been erected in the city, Colmar boasts of the foremost German painter of the 15th century, Martin Schongauer,” as a native son. The finest example of this artist's work is to be found here in the thirteenth century Church of St. Martin. The canvas is called ‘the Madonna of the Rosehedge.” Schon- gouer founded a famous school of en- graving in Colmar, from which sprung ‘the little masters’ and an im- pertant group of Nuremberg artists. The famous Dominican nunnery of Unterlinden, founded in 1232, has been converted into a Schongauer Museum, which contains many early German paintings and a room set aside for he plaster casts and models of artholdi, who died in 1904. Colmar probably occupies the site f the Roman settlement of Columba- ium, but the first mention of the lace in Frankish history occurs in as a royal villa of Louis I, the hird son of the emperor Constan- ine, who was surnamed ‘the Pious' ken he banished his sisters) from rt because of their imortal lives. : thie same century Charles the Fat, loman_emperor. held a ‘diet here.” young man is going to receive the sur- prise of his life” Scant attention was paid to remark, and for a moment there was silence. "Anne Mason, Patricia’s most intimate friend, had been listening at- | tentivély to the conversation. For the | last few moments her eves had been shining with the light of an idea, but she managed to survey Patricia scorn- fully. “You know that's an idle boast, Patsy. You know you wouldn't speak to him any more than the rest of us would. Why don’t,you follow your inclinations and ask him to eall on Yyou tomorrow night? I dare you to The girls gasped, and Patricia stared open mouthed at her. Anne, sedate as she was harum-scarum, daring her | to flirt! The world certainly was full of surprises. According to Patricia’s code, a dare could never be ignored, | and the girls, including Anne, realized ; that fact perfectly well. So assuming | her most nonchalant manner, she ac- cepted. and the remainder of the eve- ning she was the gayest of the ga: ‘But, oh, she thought next day, if only she were as serene and self- confident as she had seemed to the girls last night. Instead, down in her heart reigned a panicky feeling which seriously affected her work. At last’ she gave up in despair. She never could think of a clever, matter-of-fact way to do it. Probably a bright idea might come to her on her way home. Again the train stoped at Oakdale, and Patricia’s mind was still a blank. She must do something, and speed counted for’ more than ingenuity. Taking one of her cards from her bag she scrawled, “Please call—tonight,” and dropped it carelessly on the seat beside her neighbor as she was leav- ing the train. At home she arrayed herself in her prettiest gown and primped—anything to keep time from dragging and to still her madly beating heart. Then she meandered around the house, and to add to her troubles, she nearly col- lided with her 13-year-old brother. He looked at her scornfully. “Holy mack’rel!” he exclaimed, “Another one tonight! Ain't there no limit? The last sentence was drawled out in a manner which he had found had.a pe- culiarly exasperating effect in. the past. His sister turned and fled pre- cipitately. No relief in that quarter. The Goor bell pealed, and summon ing her courage she went to the door. “Good evening, er—Miss Rivers,” he | greeted her formally “I was beginning to fear,” stam- mered Patricia, but the rest of the sentence was cut off, and she was smothered in an embrace, and they were both unawdre of the giggles of two girls passing by the house. “Well, Dick,” ghe remarked some time later, “I never knew before you could look so stubborn and unap- proachabl He grinned. “Believe me, I didn’t feel. that way, but knowing the ob- stinacy of a certain young wcemax, I decided to try her own tactics.

The water power of the Alps, the Pyrenees and the central mountairous region is playing a big role in the mil itary effort of France and will hav an even greater share in the afte war economic struggle. Many new hydraulic power plants, born of the war needs, are turning out shells, chemicals_and other necessities for the army. Many others, born of the coal famine and its lessons will replace steam power after the war, France utilized thirteen per cent of its total estimated natural water pow- er in 1914. She was utllizing more than twenty per cent in July of 1916, and the proprtion is every day in- creasing. Competent engineers fixe at 4,600,000 horse power the enersy France could secure from its water- falls at low water, while 9,200,000 horse power is the estimate for aver- age seasons. The total steam &nergy used in France before the war was only about 3,500,000 horse power d vided among about 64,000 establish- ments. The water power of the Alps has given the name of the ‘Vale of Alum- inum” to the Valley of the Arc, where 93,000 horse power is used transform- ing alumine into aluminium bars. La Romanche in the wild valley from Bourg o'Oisons to Pont de Claiz is the “valley of carburet and metallic al- loys”,” absorbing 62,000 horse powcr. Electric _steel plants are concentrating in the basin of the Arly where one concern has installed a complete mill with electric furnaces run by turbines of 22,000 horse power. Seven import- ant new plants are being built in the region of Grenoble. In the valley of the Durance new plants aggregating 74,000 horse power for the electro-chemical industry are under way. while above Modane one of the biggest chemical works in France has acquired rights to about 120,000 horse power of water fall that will be utilized speedily. Hydraulic electrical plants in Cen- tral France have saved _the family ribbon industry of Smint Etienne. The little home shops had begun to dis- appear—unable to compete ‘with the mills. Electric motors of a quarter of a horse power have set this domes- tic occupation going again keeping at home men and women who would oth- erwise be driven to the looms of the big mills. Little motors are used all through that region for cabinet mak- ing. Had they not existed before the war, it would be necessary to invent them or something equivalent for the use of mained soldiers.

The Milwaukee Sentinel doesn’t see why it shouldn’t also pro- hibit the farmer from selling hops or barley to brewers. Out that way the issue is more important than it is hereabouts, but it is a waste of effort to hit the liquor dealers by striking | the newspapers.
