It attempted to shift the re- sponsibility for the continuation of the ‘war by the peace proposals and now it takes advantage of the peace activ- ity in which President Wilson has been engaged to declare that regard- less of whatever restrictions it has respected in the past these are hence- forth to be cast aside and naval war- fare with all the ruthlessness that can be commanded will bo- carried on. This must be taken to mean that the submarine and the mine are to Be utilized in all their frightfulness for the destruction of each and every wessel which is encountered. What- ever rega’d has been paid in the past to the rules of war, to the rights of peacetul merchantmen, to the privileges ‘of neutrais and to the rights of hu- manity is to be sbandoned. Noth- ing is to be allowed to stand in the Way Of the use of every available ‘weapon ‘for attaining victory.

Carranza has been suc- cessful in the stand which he took and the policy, such as it was, which ‘was pursued by this country has fail- ed to produce results. Resort is now. to be made to former methods and it remains to be seen whether there will be any improvement over the condi- tions which bave existed since the early days of Carranza’s supremacy. SELECT POSTMASTERS ON MERIT. It has long been recognized that the postoffices ought to be out of politics. This was appreciated years ago when civil service was made to cover the most of the employes in that depart- ment of the government, and later when additions were made to the number. It received further recogni- tion when postmasters in certain of the offices were included thereunder, but there has been a long and per- sistent demand that all postmasters, even those in the biggest offices should be named to office because of their qualifications for the job rather than because of political favor. The ground has been taken that-if it is good judgment to have the subordinates out of politics it is equally important that the superiors should be also, that the postal service might be free from political entanglements. During the recent campalign Charles E. Hughes came out in favor of put- ting all postmasters under classified civil service. He was followed in this stand by President Wilson, and in support of the declaration which he made at that time the president is now reported to be supporting the amendment which has been proposed by Senator Poindexter to the legisla- tive, executive and judicial appropria- tion bill providing for this change. It is of course an auspicious time for the administration to have this cover the large number of appointees who are now holding office, but nevertheless the step is a wise one. It is for the interest of the cou that such a change should be made in the method of selecting postmasters. Postmasters should / be selected for their positions because they are thoroughly qualified for the task and not because they have been hard sorkers for one party or the other. KITCHIN'S REVENUE BILL. Much opposition is being manifest- ed towards the revenue raising bill of the administration and particularly to that provision which has to do with a tax on excess profits. Some large ap- propriations are being made for pre- paredness and as was to be expected the responsibility for the proposed tax- ation Is being attributed to that rea- son. The fact that the administration has failed almost from the start to produce sufficient revenue, and that there is a steadily increasing deficit in the treasury is of course overlooked. It wouldnt do to admit that the method which has been pursued was a mistake or a failure. But what is even more astonishing is the statement which was made by Claude Kitchin, chairman of the ways and means committee, concerning this taxation plan when he sald, “These taxes will go to pay appropriations, practically all, or most of which will g0 north of Mason and Dixon’s line; and I will say noy that appropriations for preparedness, shipyards, munition makers, etc., will g0 to the benefit of those classes who happen to live north of Mason and Dixon’s line. All come to town and yet enough so that it won't be & care to her, and as yet we haven't found such a one. rather late in thé season, isn't “My wite says it isnt really late enough,” the man laughed. “She says the longer you wait the better bargain you get. She contends tbat a Teal es- tate man will rent you a palace for next to nothing if you just wait till the moment when he ds of sell- ing or renting to anybody. She pic- tures his disappointment as he waits day after day for- some one to come in"and rent the place and she is ab- solutely sure that he learns to hate the very sight of it when he can't get rid of it. “The other day her imagination soared as high as romance and she said_that she was going to pick out Some young real estate man who was planning to get married. She said that he would persuade the owner-to rent at a very low figure, because he was anxious to get the commission to marry on. She has a high idea of the generosity of owners in the matter of sale commissions and rental percent- ages. As yet she hasn't found one.” “If I hear of an engaged real estate man Tll call you up and tell yem about him,” said Simmons. “Thanks, awfully!” the other men said, grinning. “I shall not expect to hear from you. One thing that makes it harder to get something to rent is that my wife wants an entirely new house. She says & saves her so much money in the cleahing of it, because there is so little to_do. She hates to find nails pounded into the woodwork and curtain poles in unexpected places are a horror. We want to see one house where we found an old shoe ly- ing In the middle of the dining room, and my wife wouldn't even go up- stairs to look at these rooms. I tried to persuade her there had been = wedding, but she did not believe me. “Personally I like to look at houses in which people are still living, be- cause it is nice to see how the Dlace will furnish up and then, too, you get tips on the thing unless the occupant happens to be the owner. In ome house the tenant was so sore at the landlord that he couldn't say enough against the heating of it. ~As it was on the lake shore it got all the breeze there was, and he had great tales to tell. His wife had had pneumonia there and all of them had suffered from colds. He said that he went out- doors to get warm in winter and he sat in the sun to cool off in summer. He added that he had told all the neighbors about it and he hoped the owner would never rent the place. Needless to say, we aid not take it.” “If T had a tenant like that I'd let him off a month’s rent to get rid of him,” Simmons laughed. ‘Maybe then he_wouldn't go!” “Like the man who had our flat when we took it,” the other said. “He had two months rent free on the south side and he wouldn't give up the keys of his old flat until the last day of April. That's another advan- tage of waiting till late in the winter —or early, as you please. You don't have to stand around for somebody els “Yes, but don’t delay too long,” Sim- mons warned him. “When Mrs. Sim- mons and I first went to housckeep- ing it was in February and the snow was deep. You know how it used to be_in old days?” “Don’t 1” though! Sleighing and enowshoeing and_all “Well,” Simmons continued, “there had been ome of those storms. We had been boarding and we were anx- fous to have a home of our own, so we went out to Evanston to look at available property there. It wasn't so easy to get around in.those days and 1t took us a good while to get out there. However, when we saw the place that we afterward took we were THE WAR PRIMER By National Geographic Soclety Saarbrucken, General Industrial Cen- ter. The Saarbrucken district, about tounding part of it is, in spite of the treatment which has been saccorded the neutrals during the past two and & half years, including the murder of its citizens, that it now asks them to endorse this new terrorism and to aid in ecarrying it out. Germany gives motiee that it is playing its last trump and will balk at nothing to win, The jote presents a new and serious sit- ation. VETO SHOULD BE SUSTAINED. Efforts are already underway for the mw.. of passing the immigration with its literacy test, over the Veto of the president. This was to be expected. It was indicated while the bill was up for action that this move be made as it had been in the past, and it is apparent that if the members of both houses vote in the Bame way that they did when the bill that was vetoed was favorably acted upon there will be much more than Ry o s e DT F ‘necessary e the 1 a law re- gardless of the veto. But can the members of congress be held to their previous action? That 4s what the fate of the bill hinges upon. In the past there has been as much confidence that the veto could be overridden as there is now. There were large majorities then but when §t came to a test it was found that the legislators were unwilling to dis- the position which had been taken by the president: it is belleved will be the po- sition which many of .them will take ‘when the vetoed measure comes up mgain for action, and it certainly _to be. There are many good immigration bill. Thers are provisions which ought to be enacted into law, and they would have been long ago but for the fact there is included therein the dis- d unAmerican literacy test. unwise method of Judsing of these fellows who happen to live in the localities that will pay the large part of this tax can get rid of it by moving down to my town of Scotland Neck and spending a little bit of it there.” That is a barefaced declaration of a determination to tax a certain part of the country for the benmefit of the remainder. It is not surprising that when only a portion of the country is hit by a taxation scheme from which all will benefit that there should be a remonstrance, but it is like adding fuel to a fire when Mr. Kitchin makes such a statement as he has. EDITORIAL NOTES. The man on the corner says: To get sympathy all that is necessary in some cases is to prove that you are the under dog. Switzerland is suffering from the high price and the shortage of coal. In that respect all the neutrals ap- pear to be treated alike. General Pershing has been in Mexi- co long enough so that it cannot be said that he went right in, turned around and came right out again. When it 1s announced that the new styles call for kimona sleeves for men, it looks as if Fashion was playing into the hands of the tricksters. Well it will be possible of course, if thero is an extra session of con- gress, to throw all the blame for it over onto Thomas W. Lawson. It begins to look as if the Mexican troopers were unwilling to let the American cowboys get away from the border without a parting shot. ‘When a New York mother says that she cannot support her baby on $2¢ 000 a year, one wonders what is go- ing to become of that lusty youngster. When Bulgaria points out that President’ Wilson could end the war by stopping the supplies going to the allies, that brings us back again to the old argument which it was thought had been ended long ago. It is to be hoped that if anything has happened to the Deutschland that it is nothing worse than being cap- tured and taken to port. No one ‘wants to think of such a waste of life [as would be caused by sending it to tae bottom. 70 miles square, which has been the objective of numerous allied raids, comprises, according to a_war geog- raphy bulletin issued by the National Geographic society, one of the richest coal regions of Hurope, and conse- quently is a highly organized indus- trial .center, the manufactures includ- ing gunpowder, machinery, soap, iron wares, glass, tapestries, textiles, leath- er and cotton goods. ‘Saarbrucken proper, which is situ- ated on the left bank of the Saar, one of the affluents of the Mosel, ~was made a Greater Saarbrucken = seven years ago, when its twin cities across the river—St. Johann and Burbach- Malstatt—were consolidated with it, so that today it has a population ap- proximating 100,000. “The Saarbruck district produces between ten and eleven mililon tons of coal annually in normal times, and five-sixths of the mines are owned by the state. The number of men em- ployed in this industry alone reaches “Saarbrucken is in Rhenish Prussia, 52 miles by rail east of Metz, but less than 40 miles in an airline from that strongly fotified German ecity. Ver- dun, from some distance beyond which the raiding English aviators must have started, is 76 miles to the ‘west. “Through an excellent system of ¢tanals, the narrow Saar rver is mav- igabe for some distance above Saar- brucken. The city’s name is derived from a bridge which spanned the stream in Roman days, the site of the old crossing being marked by the Alte Brucke (Old Bridge) which is a pro- duct of 16th century engineering. “For more than 400 years Saarbrick- en was the residence of the counts and princes of Nassau-Saarbricken, but in 1793 this distinctic from the city. In that year the French burned the chateau, but it was subse- quently restored after a fashion. “Saarbrucken is famous in German history as the city where the French struck their first blow in the Franco- Prussian war. On August 2d, 1870, the French seized and ied _ the town, but four days later ey were forced to withdraw before a numer- ically inferior Prussian army. The battle which occurred on the Lelghts of Spicheren, three miles sogth of the city, resulted in a loss of more than 4,600 men and 223 officers for the Ger- mans, and of 3,800 men and 249 offi- cers on_the French side. “St. Ingbert, where the greatest damage is reported to have been done by the aero bombs, is seven miles by rail east of Saarbrucken. It is a man- ufacturing town of 15,500 e. The town is situated on the , & tributary of the Saar. Numerous steel and iron works and glass factories ars established here.

Norwich, Jan. 31, 1917. | STORIES OF THE WAR For the One Armed Soldiers. After countless experiments, a draw- ing table or board has been invented which, by means of magnets to hold T-squares and triangles tight, can be utilized by one-armed men. It had Meen feared that many soldiers, who were architects before the war, and who have either lost one arm or its use, would have to go into some other calling after the conflict. The new in- vention opens up great possibllities for them after all. The new table is so arranged that an electric current can be turned on with the foot which will catch and hold per- fectly tight by means of tiny magnets any object that may lie on top of the table. The one-armed draughtsman has only to adjust his implements ex- actly to his liking, press a lever with his fcot, and then take a pencil or pen and work with it. The use of the magnets has been varied so that, only a small portion of the top of thé table is magnetized at once, requiring only a minimum amount of current. The new invention Wwhich was evolved in the turbine shops of the General Electric Company, can be operated from an ordinary electric light connection, or, if desired, through batteries. Coming Back in May. A former secretary of the German legation in Paris recently managed to have delivered to a woman acquaint- ance in Paris a letter announcing his return to Paris next May and express- ing the hope that their former cour- teous and cordial relations might be resumed. The bearer of the letter left it with the concierge of the apartment build- ing where the lady resides, then dis- appeared.

This is along proper modern lines and should be encouraged. But how about lovers of skating' Thousands who work all day can skate only in the evening. Darkness 2dds nothing to the pleasure of skat- ing, nor does it reassure the timid. Then why not light spaces on the shores of some of our smaller ponds so that this healthful winter sport may be enjoyed to its utmost. A few lights on the shores of Berk- shire pond or at Beardsley park would cost but little and would light a suf- cient area to accommodate hundreds Temporary poles might even be plac- od on the ice. These ideas are carried out in the west, where outdoor winter sports are encouraged, and we seem far behind the times in not following suit.

An even greater effort is to be made this year and ‘the manufacturers are said to be planning a most extensive cam- paign to_interest folks in wheeling. They feel that the bicycle has a fleld, and are going to boost the sales in that scope. Automobiles crippled the bike business, but auto- mobiles brought better roads, and these have made bicycle riding a less painful process, thereby helping indi- rectly in the come-back. A particular appeal is to be made to the youngsters who have energy to burn, and it will also be pointed out that ‘the bicycle is beneflcial to those of sedentary occupations who need light exercise. If they still feel the need of a little more light exercise, they can go to the harvest fleld or take up the light em- ployment of stoking a ship. Bicycling would be light exercise if one could rde down hill all the way, but the roads aren’t bullt that way. However, there is one pleasant pros. pect in the renewed gains in the bicy- cle trade; It is largely based on the fact that the motorcycle is slipping. Motoreycle sales are sald to be falling off, because the motorcycle is about as’ expensive as an automobile, and ‘much more painful than a bicycle.— Meriden Journal. If Representative Savage of Meriden started out to gain notoriety by his cat licensing and cat muzzling bill he was surely successful. The bill has called forth editorial comment in both metropolitan and country papers. The Dbill has attracted attention from Con- necticut to the Rocky Mountains, and the friends and foes of the feline fam- ily are lined up on the measure. One metropolitan paper has a humorous article about the woes of the man of the house when his better half orders him to muzzle the family cat before turning her out dors for the night— New Britain Herald. ‘With a case of hydrophobia to stim- ulate the enforcement of the laws for the protection of men and animals from the attacks of rabid dogs, there should be no more delay in rounding up unmuzzled and untagged animals within the city limits. It is impossble for the dog warden alone to run them all down. He should have the assist- ance of the police in rounding up stray animals and the co-operation of all citizens in locating suspicious characters of the canine species.— ‘Waterbury Republican Leaders of the suffragist movement in Connecticut head a fight of the woman’s movement against the saloon. Hitherto the suffrage movement has been ostensibly neutral with respect to the liquor license, but #he suffrag- ists now, apparently, are making an! open issue. This breach would no doubt have arrived in time, but it has been hast- ened by the efforts of the liquor in- terests to keep the woman away from the ballot. This open enmity will prokably at first delay the ballot to women, but in the long run it must prove disastrous to the liquor traffic. It is only a mat- ter of time when women will vote ev- erywhere.—Bridgeport Farmer. BOY SCOUT EDUCATION DEPARTMENT FOUNDED. Educators Join in Work of Helping Scout _eaders.

N You simply say to the drug store man, “Give me a quarter of an ounce of freezone.” This will cost very littla but is sufficient to remove every hard or soft corn from one’s feet. A few drops applied directly upon a tender, aching corn should relieve tho soreness instantly, and soon the entire corn, root and ail, can be lifted out with' the fingers without pain. This new way to rid one's feet of corns was introduced by a Cincinnati man, who says that while freezone is sticky it dries in a moment, and seems to simply shrivel up the corn without inflaming or even irritating the sur- rounding tissue or skin.
