It is thought that neutrals will have to suf- fer in some respects from the sub- marine war, but do they not suffer al- yeady? You can be sure that the dif- ficulties cansed to your country by our submarine war will be little compared with those caused by Great Britain. “Ask your own countrymen” Dr. Heifferich _continued, “by what brutal methods Great Britain coerces Nor- weglan ship owners to carry contra- band, and how with all means she strangles the Norwegian fishing indus- try, as well as paralyzing Norwegian industries' by holding back coal. We the press and public continue to rejoice over the action of the United States in terminating _diplomatic relations with Germany, public donsideration has turned to the realities of war. Con- fronted with the announced program of intensified submarine action on the part of Germany, the French press, al- though realizing and appreciating the great moral support resulting from the rupture of - relations between the United States and Germany, is advising the public not to rely too much upon sympathy. In this connection, Senator Charles Humbert says: “Instead of announcing that victory is certain and _sleepily waiting, let us apply all our thoughts and all our energies to bringing our active forces to their maximum strength.” TWO BARGES LOST IN imposed by law, more efficiently per- formed, if the town officers were elect- ed_biennially: now. therefore, be it Resolved, That the senator and rep- resentatives of this town in the gen- eral assembly be, and they hereby are, requested and advised to prepare and secure the passage of the appropriate and necessary legislation to provide generally for:i— 1.
