In decided contrast to the condl- tions which have prevailed in many years were those existing at this last Inauguration of the president of the United States. With no indication Whatever ,of" the greet number of ia- ternational problems that have avisen furing the past-four years, the situa- Mon today shows what can be brought about in such a brief period. Four years ago it would have been almost Impossible to make one believe that such a state of affairs could have been brought about, since it was gen= erally comsidered that the civilized world of that time was too far above it. Experience has shown, however, to the contrary and peace is still d pendent upon an uncertain futuve. In his inaugural address President Wilson makes due reference to the international problems which the country has had to face, whether we would have it so or not and insisting that we haye stood and must stand lor the principles of a liberated man- kina the president truly says, “It is Imperative that we should stand to- fether. 'We are being forced into a aew unity amidst the fires that now throughout the world. In_their ardent heat we shall, in God’s provi- Rence, let us Nope, be purged of fac- tions and divisions, purified of the er- rant honors of party and of private Interest, and shall stamd forth in the ys to come with a new dignity of national pride and spirit. Let each man see to it that the dedication is In his cwn heart, the high purpose ot the nation in his own mind, ruler of his own will and desire.” The president has reasdn to expect American unity and it ought not to be necessary to expatiate upon its value to this nation. The wisdom of It has long ago been determined. THE COAST GUARD SERVICE. Perhaps there is_no better bit of cvidence regarding the sacrifice which is ready to be made when occasion re- guires it, than that which has been turnished by the crew of the coast guard steamer Yamacraw off Ocean City, Md., when after responding to Ihe distress signals of the tanker Louisiana which had gone aground len men lost their lives in attempts to jeach the stranded vessel. The conditions which were faced by those members of the coast guard vessel's crew, when ‘every boat that was launched was quickly capsized, san be appreciated. It was a case where life was being placed :in jeo- pardy in an attempt to save other lives and property, and this is. the character of the service which is ren- dered every year by thé many cutters which the government ' maintains for the protection of the lives and Prop- erty in the coasting trade. It must therefore be apparent that conscientfbus consideration should be Eiven to each and every demand that " s made for the purpose of providing Freater safety in the way of the best ‘and most stable vessels for the carry- ing on of this service. When men are prepared to risk their lives in such work of rescue, the government can- not fail in furnishing them with ev- ery means of carfying on such work which will insure the greatest degree of safety to them. They are entitled ot only to staunch craft in which to /il but to every modern device that | il aid them in their endeavors, and of this character is entitled to best that is available in non cap- le life boats or launches, and the approved equipment in all el THE PAPER meL manifested so much Interest in La- Follette, rises up te condemn him for the part which he took with the no- torfous twélve while the feeling agalnst Lane in Oregon runs so high that there is serious talk of a recall, and_if such is attempted there can be little doubt but what it will suc- ceed. There can be no surprise at these expressions from the various states. They arc-only what must have Deen expected as the result of such disloyal conduct and they. show that the action of the senator¥ does not represent the sentiment (of their states regardless of what those’ out- side the country think about it : b+ A ettt GETTING RESPECT FOR RULES. Hardly 1 there a community which is not bothered with its automobile speeders and just &s many communi- ties'are there which have been forced to give serious consideration to the reduction of this highway menace. Some have tackled the problem,in one way and some in another, but it has invariably been found that while len- iency is due In gertain instances, if it becomes the gemeral practice it is bound to be interpreted as a license, which\. means _that highway regula- tions do not amount to the paper they are written upon. But out of recognition of the fact that the fnnocent, or those who violate ordinances Dxmn inention, ought not to be ized In the same man- ner as those who do it with a full un- derstanding of what tjey are up to, the tiaffic authorities in Brooklyn have arranged to warnings to each and everyone who violating the rezulations, which of cours® includes speeding as well as the many other infraction of the rules, and a sum- mons to court will be served on occa- sion of the second offense. This certalnly is reasonable and in many cases too much so, but it-gives the court the opportunity to deal with violators in a mammer which makes them realize what breaking the rules actually means, as is manifested in the case of a speeder who, having been in court before, was sent to jall for a period of ten days. With such an enforcement of the laws it cannot help being apparent to all drivers of the highway that the obedience of the reg- ulations is the safe policy to fol- low, and that of course is all that the authorities seek.

I bleve they call it “Letters From the People” but “Scrappers’ Column” is more descrip- tive seems to me I allers. read that column. 1It's jést like a dash of pep- per sass on your dinnmer. Say! I want to know what that Voluntown woman has got again’ the Cloud Digger? Bet- sey sez, “I bet he was her bow some- time and gin her the mitten—that's what makes her pitch into him so fearse.” Then there’s lot of others diggin® in- to each other over nothin' seems ter me. But it's real fassernatin’ to read and gess what's a comin’ next. Then there's the “Farmer's Talk to Farmers.” Say! That's the most sensiblest talk I ever red abou Most talk and advice to farmers is writ by somebody that scurce ever see a farm let alon livin’ on ome. But this felier knows ail about hired men, too. And a feller that can run a farm and keep a hirsd man at the same time orter have a gold medal for efficiency. Believe me! I hLain’t never been able to do both at the same time. Then The Bulletin tells about what the leg- islater is doin’ or a-tryin’ to do. T've snickered some over some of the laws they're tryin’ to make. About muz- zlin’ cats, now!, and keepin’ em home nights. A boy with a gun will kill and wound more ifirds in an afternoon than a cat could in a month. Cats don't leave 'em to suffer when they do catch ’em neither. Then I haw-hawed right out when that was brot up about protectin’ skunks. - The way ‘twas put, I could'nt make out whether ’twas the four-legged skunks or the two-legged ones that was to be protected I got a nest of four-legged ones right under by barn and if that law passes I spose I've got to protect ‘em. Gosh ! Can't touch ‘em until they catch some of my chick- ens, and then I couldn’t idenitfy the ane which et ‘em, unless I had The Bertjllon system of measurements. And there ain’t a seul in the melgberhood would help me measure 'em or even be a witness! So there you be. I dun- no what's goin’ to be done. But if the two-legged skunks was ment, L guess we got laws enuff already to protect them. They're in most every communi- ty doin’ sneakin’ nnderhand ngs. They hain’t got half the courage the four-lesged ones have either for they let you know right off when they're round if you've got any kind of a nose, but the two-legged omes don’t even put up a smell till they've fin- ished their job! They don’t need any law to protect them for they're too big cawards to break a law they onl* sneak round it! Legislater is awful funny taken all round.

Mr, Editor: It do®8 not seem worth while to waste much time upon Mr. J. H. Cummings of distorted vision and foo-foo mentality. He is no more re- sponsible for what he sees-than was the old Kentucky hunter who when challenged by his son when taking aim as to what he saw replied: “A bar, son, a bar! A dead sure shot, too!"” The boy could see no bar and as he gazed in wonderment he discovered what caused the old man’s confusion. Said h *“There’s no bar there, Dad, what you see is a louse on your eye-winker.” It looks as though Mr. Cummings’ eye-winkers were fouled. 4 DEAD SHOT. Norwich, March 6, 191T. Concrete Road Builders Spare Century Old Elm. When the builders of a concrete highway between Eimira, N. Y. and Mansfield, Pa., had progressed to a certain point they were confronted with a magnificent elm growing squarely in the middie of the road. An exception was made to the usual prac- tice in such cases and it was decided to let the tree stand. Consequently the road was widened to about double its regular width and laid either side of the beautiful speci- men. Provision was made also for the growth of the roots in future years.

From the Seventh to the Tweifth Century, however, the record ¢ the holy istand is a complete blank, sed, no doubt, by the disappear- nce of the monastery. At the later ate Spike Island became Angio- orman spoil under the oharter of enry Il—whence another hiatus of three hundred years takes rlace in its history; and it is recorded that the ce was' infested by smuggiers. Toward the end of the Eightcenth century the island -passed to the Crown, and no_time was lost in forti- fying it. In 1779 a battery of twenty- four guns had been installed and in 1790 the position was named Fort Westmoreland by the nobi ofy that family who at the time was Lord Lieutenant of Ireiand and visited the island. “Two years before the Queen's visit to the town, Spiké Island was made 2 _convict depot, upon the abolishment of the transportation echeme of pun- ishment which had beem in vogue. Cork harbor had been a concentration point for ~these. unfortupates, who were huddled into a prison ship while awaiting their deportation. Soon as many as 2,500 oonvicts were to be found at Spike and they were em. ployed at work upon the fortification: A system of good-conduct rewards was _ established, and the lensth of imprisonment and the privileges to be enjoved were made determinable by the conduct of the prisoncrs while under detention. The island ceased to be a prison in 1885, at which time was handed over to the military au- thorities. I OTHER VIEW POINTS | Of the total number on the rolls of the National Guard at the call for fao- bilization nearly 47.657 wefe lost on account of physical debility, or for other reasons. Of the total number who went to the border 128,000—nearly one-half, or 60, 000 were without any military train- ing: 56,813 had never fired a military rifie, and only 37 per cent. of those who were enrolled when the call came were mustered into the service. There- fore, had our troops been called upon to face the troop ef a first class, or even a second class power, the most | appalling slaughter of our own people would have beefl inevitable. Think it over if you are not favoring universal military training of a rea- sohable sort for every youth in the land—New Haven Union. Perhaps the farmers cant be blam- ed for charging all the traffic will bear at a time when, as the Aroostook po- tatocrat truly says, “everybody’s doing it” But let them take care. Heretfore the farmer has always had the friendly sympathy of the gen- eral public. It may be granted that he has the same right to gquge the con- sumers that city food-manipulators have. But let him mot brag of hi: power and flaunt his _monopolistic gains too openly lest public sympathy turn to envy and enmity.

In connection with the importance nowadays attached to the hand- grenade and bomb in trench warfare, it is interesting to note.that the first use of these weapons in the present war was by the German forces in the Argonne and in Belgium in Decemiber 1914. The forces employing them were the 15th and 18th German corps. It was from these corps that the garri- sons of Metz and Strassburg were drawn, so that it is probable that they had been provided with their bombs from the stocks of these fortresses, and trained there in their empioy-| men i Up to this time the minenwerfer, which had been studied in Germany before the war, does not seem to have been -regarded’ as_anyt except = fortress weapon. Its use, . in trench warfare became general on the German side in January and Febru- good ary, 1915, so that it must have been manufactured in considerable quan- tities at the end of 1914. The French displayed their tradi- tional powers of improvisation in the reply they made to these ni pons. -They collected the cases that had been fired by the Ger- man 77 fleld gun, of which there was abundance. They mounted the shrap- nel cases on wooden stands, on which they had “someshing of the appear- ance of a toad, whence came ' the word _“crapo ” now a general term “for and used it as a to - take calohe{ but and easy to being supremely cheap manufacture.

Tt sl o8 o0 Sin ek vt Were sent to the trenches the argenals, and In March they were re- inforced by a con:%vte system of scientific trench ar.illery, including the admirable 58-m trench gun. Meanwhile the use of hand gren- ades was steadily advancins. The first grenades available were of the most ancient model, fitted with an exposed time fuse, and dfawn from the stocks still preserved of siege material. In February, 1915, the G mans profiting by their superior man- ufacturing power and their state of Preparedness, were already provided | with “offensive” grenades, - that s, | grenades which either produced 10| splinters at all or splinters that car- | ried 4o short a distance that the men who threw tbem were In no danger even if he was without cover. At _all times, the Germans made use of two kinds of grenades, #he Bne consisting of high expiosives with- out any metal envelope, the other having 2 steel envelope in two parts, fitted _together like the shell of a tor- toise. Despite this important mate- rial advantage, which was of the greatest valie in hand-to-hand fight- ing, the Germans failed to make any impression on the French lines dur- ing the spring of 1915, and about July ®f that year the French troops wes provided with grenades of both the defensive and offensive types that wege Guite equal to the German. ka4 oot AUSTRALIA'S ZIGZAG RAILWAY. First Means of Crossing Blue Moun- tains Which Walled In Coastal Set- tlement. & ! In looking back over the history of the original settiement at Sydney, at first it seems strange that the base of the Blue Mountains, a plateau 3,000 feet in height and a day's ride from the coast, skrald mark the edge of known land for twenty-five years aft- er_civilization. s There are, however, £00d reasons for this seeming lack of enterprise.
