The action of President Wilson in calling a_ special session of congress two . weeks earlier than he had pre- viously done can cause no surprise. It is a step which is needed and it would have been well had he fixed the date directly after his inauguration for the middle of March instead of the mid- dle of April This country has been doing too much procrastination in regard to the matter of war preparations. It doesn't want war and for that reason there has been a disposition to delay actt: ities which are needed for its own protection in case war comes. Certain Steps have been taken but they are only what should have been under way for the past year or more. It is no wonder that Ambassador Ger- ard was surprised on his return that this country had done no more than it has in the way of preparedness. The result is that by putting off until the last moment, what_should jhave been producing results foday, this country must now resort to an eleventh hour rush. ~ There can be no question but what the president has a question of grave national policy to present to consress. From the action of Germany in its at- . tacks upon American commerce this country, has been to all intents and purposes in a state of war. Steps to protect our ships have been taken but more than that is needed: it is time that this government should take proper steps for the protection of the Wwhole country. It is time to get down to a full realization of our exact po- sition. THE ALLIED ADVANCE. There appears to be 2 slight slack- ening of the advance on the part of . the Dritish and French forces who are pursuing the Germans in their re- treat in northern France. They are still going ahead and drawing nearer to some of the important points in & the Hindenburg line, but they are not rushing pell mell into uncertainties. It is apparent that the retreat of the kaiser'’s army is not over for it is still falling back and the territory which is being evacuated is being oc- cupied by the allied forces but ther are good reasons for believing that the British and French are taking pre- cautions to see that they are not caught in a trap or do not place them- selves in positions where they can- not resist a surprise attack whenever the enemy decides to turn. As yet it is not indicated where the Germans are going to make their stand. They are retreating in excel- © ' lent form and leaving nothing but des olstion In their rear. From all ac coumnts peither stores nor equipment _are being obtained by the pursuers, . which indicates that the retreat had been well planned and it is possible _ that it has been underway since {t be- * evident last fall that Bapaume _ and Peronne were doomed to fall. 3 .:m the British and French have ' bpeen taught the lesson of taking the chance of pushing too far ahead of the supporting column: Some time ago it was decided to proceed In ac- cordance with established plans, to _do what was intended and stop,. and _ that is apparently what is being done " Bt this time. ' VOTERS SHOULD KNOW ENGLISH that the action of congress has a literacy test as one of uirements for admission to this country, the state of New York is zu-nu a similar test for all those are made voters. While it is not ‘that the immigration literacy ‘accomplish all that is expect- ed of it and keep out of the country the undesirable element from abroad, _ though it is bighly probable that it will prevent many who would become . worthy gitizens. others and subject to influences which are ‘more often ‘bad than mood. The citizens- #nd voters of this country should understand the language. It fa of Sreeser ‘and cler ‘nterest.in: public .mnumnm advan- tages enough offered for = such | & requirement. What is worth having iis worth striving for. - There is no doudbt but what the rather startling, but it is such that | is needed to awaken the people of this | country to the real’ meaning of the { present conditions. Governor _Holcomb undoubtedly knows what he is talking about. It cannot be imagined that he would make any such statement junless he was sure of his facts. He is not in- i clined to.give credit to wild and un- substantiated storfes, so that when he | says “Connecticut is | serous position. If you knew baif of what I know you would- be seared to death as T am sometimes.’ I am in- formed that there is a good deal of drilling golng on within the atate every night right now and it is mot in the interest of the United States. Also we know ‘of activities of mien in mu- nitions plants that will be a problem in time of war,” there are good rea- sons for taking solemn warning there- from. Conneeticut has already taken some steps in behalf of preparedness and protection, and In that course it is do- ing no different than other of the New fingland states. Massachusetts by the act of the legislature has just been provided with a million doliar defense fund. An appropriation of a half million dollars has been . urged upon the legislature of New Hamp- shire and in Rhode Island the gov- ernor has been provided with a fund of $150,000 for home or national pro- tection and he has also been author- ized to organize a volunteer consta- bulary and to call into service mili- tary or civic organizations for public safety. These are all steps in the ‘way .of preparation that are impor- tant and needed for what is true of Connecticut must hold good in other states. ATTACKING RELIEF SHIPS, It hasn’t been revealed as vet what explanation Germany will give for the attacks that were made upon the two vessels operating under the direction of the commission for the relief of Belgium, but it can be anticipated, as has been dome in other cases, that the responsibility for it will be placed upon the commanders of those ships. Thus far of course there hasn’t been a vessel sunk where Germany has ad- mitted that its submarine commander was in the wrong or that he was not doing what he had a right to. There have been a few instances, however, where it has been promised that resti- tution would be made if it was found hat the vessels should not have been torpedoed, cargoes destroyed and lives lost, but there has been no statement made as to what punishment has been meted out to those who have gone contrary to German promises. In these latest cases, the two ves- sels Tunisie and Haelen were not sunk. They were shelled and a num- Ber of lives were lost when a small boat containing a number of the crew was struck by a shell. These ships had been promised safe conduct. They were observing every precaution and when the facts and the papers were presented to the commander who at- tacked them he apologized. But an apology does not bring back those who were killed and from all that is known that same commander is still roving the seas seeking what he can destroy regardless of whether he has a right to do so or not. He is ap- varently working on the idea .of de- stroying first and investigating after- wards, which, instead of international law, has long governed German opera- tions. EDITORIAL NOTES. The change in Russia will cause a number of other, monarchs to look to the security of their respective thrones. It begins to look now as if many of the belligerent nations would be re- ferred to after the war as European republics. None among the allies will regret it the German army on the western front has decided to turn around and go back home. Probably the kalser is wondering how many chips he must knock off of Uncle Sam's shoulder before he gets him thoroughly mad. The return of American consuls to their former posts in Mexico, it is to be hoped, will mean the establishment of better relations between the two governments. The man on the corner says: In their move for a greater freedom fhe Russians haven't as yet announced what their attitude is going to be towards the barbers. Nicholas Romanoff has found that it is just as easy for him to become a plain citizen as it was for him to be- come the czar of Russia and much less pomp in connection with it. From the list of sidewalks ordered improved there promises to be plen- ty of activity in that iine this spring, and no one can say that a greal amount of that work is not needed. It is a long way from Peking to Germany, but the British will soon shorten that distance as soom as they get a little more of that Berlin to Bagded rallroad. 2 g If those at the head of the new Rus- sian government handle the affairs of that nation in the way which they have started that country promises to from what it for- witlt all his money— The gird with the hat sighe:: a little. “That's just it!” she declare’ __‘“Poor ur is so labeled with hi3 frther's| ns he never has a chauce as a h to he | pecti certainly will appreciate a sim.e lit- tle affair like yours—and of cours: he knows you realize his real htc is 8o outside "yours that you're him just as a matter of pure kindness and Dbecause you like him for himseif!

Tuck! ear- LETTERS TO THE EDITOR Pre: lent Sykes of the Connecticut College. Mr. Editor: You have published some articles concerning the Connecti- cul College that have interestéd some outside observers. There has. boen some friction between the president and the executive committee concerning certain financial outlays in conse- quénce of which a majority of the trustees have asked for his resigna tion. These conflicts of authority seem to us laymen unfortunate and un- necessary and should have been ad- justed withont publicity. - But to make them the occasion for the dras- tic act as the arraignment and dismis- 1 and humiliation of a great scholar d_educational expert compels some calmer spirits in the community to enter their protest. The Connecticut Collexe is not a New London institu- | the European War, tion, but an institution which bears the name of our commonwealth and hence. the commontwenlth’s interest in its for- tunes and its futures. A few years ago an open feld was selected and an educational expert of the first rank was brought for deveiop- ing a collezs for the education of wo- men. President Svkes was chosen be- cause of his exceptiona: ability as a scholar and organizer and the result has been an institution of learning that has commanded the unqualifie admiration of educational experts, who have visited the colleze and borne testimony to the work planned and al- ready accomplished by the college. The faculty who have worked in perfect harmony with the president have horne testimony to his distin- cushed ability and success and pro- tested vizorously against the arrest of his work contemplated bv the ac- tion of the trustees, while the whole student body have expressed their love and admAration for what he has done for them. The success of the col- lege along all the lines of its contem- plated work has been phenomenal. Tts every success has proved its embar- rassment and its success has been chiefly due to the ability of the pres- ident and his strong, masterfdl per- sonality. Then outside his collogze work Pres- ident Sykes has compelled by his masterly addresses upon educational literary_and economic _topics _before large organizations of business men and literary_bodles throughout the state, the coiviction that he was fast becoming one of the state’s most val- ued assets and that our citizenship vas to be enriched by his presence among us, Many of us deeply deplore the very suggestion of the withdrawal of such a man as an act of cruel injustice, not only to himselt, but to the college he has so magnificently launched on its career ang to the state where ris strong leadership has been so readily conceded and is so sorely needed. JUSTICE Norwich, March 2¥, 1917. THE ‘WAR PRIMER By National Geographic Soclety Halifax—“The Count von Bern- storffe enforced delay at Halifax dur- ing the examination made by British authorities of the neutral ship by which the dismissed diplomate was journeying would have been far less irksome if his excellency had been permitted to visit the picturesque city which occupies a commanding posi- tion on the east slope of a peninsula jutting into the .deep waters of the bay of Chebucto on the southeast coast of the far larger peninsula of Nova Scotia,” says a war geography bulletin just issued by the National Geographic Soclety which has for its subject this Nova Scotian city. “From its foundation in 1749 the town has been a center of British military activity and it was estab- lished at the instance of the New England colonists who had recognized the advantages of the wonderful har- bor, whence d'Anvilje's fleet had made its ‘futile descent upon the New Eng- land coast in the ourse of the long war between France and Great Bri- tain. The town was the first English- speaking settlement in the midst of the French colonies of Acadia and it speedily took on - importance. Within five years from lts founding it be- came the seat of British North Amer- jcan government and Britons have long termed it the ‘Warden of the Honour of thé North. Tts deep and ample and claimed to sufficlent to float all the nav pacious waters, and up to 1905 Hal- ifax was an active center of Bricish military _activity. In that year, however, as a mark of friendly relations with the Uni- ted States, all ‘British regular troops were withdrawn and the care of Hail- fax and its fortifications was commit- tec to the government of the Domin- ion of Canada. With the outbreak of however, Halifax was again made military and naval headquarters for British American and many German prisoners have been interncd, wpon the well-guarded islands of its harbor. Here, too, was the chief port of embarkation for the numerous contingents which Canada has cdntributed to the English armies, and the scenes of today must call to mind the earlier and even more active movements of the town’s history. “During the Napoleonic wars Hal- ifax was the scene of many a dem- onstration of English prowess. The privateers, fitted out by enterprising Haligonians, frequently returned with their prizes, distinguished French prisoners made use of the enforced hospitality of the citadei, built by Prince Edward, son of George IV, which still caps the highest ground and is a landmark far to sea. The first prizes of the war of 1812 were brought by their British captors to Halifax; and it was to’ this capacious shelter that the Shannon brought the captive Chesapeake. It was from Fal- ifax that the successful naval expedi- tion against the coast of Maine set sail, and the succession of prize courts which followed the arrival of the vic- tory ehips, together with the social gaieties which marked the government House at that period gave to the place an intensity of life which it has never since equalled. “Following the capture of Wash- ington a British brig and a_transport ship arrived at Halifax bearing a large number of fugitive slaves from Virginia, whose descendants still pop- ulate nezro colonies on the outskirts of the town. Another and larger and more important addition to the popu- lation of Halifax, however, came at the conclusion of peace between the Mother Country and_the _revolting American colonies in 1783, when thou- sands of Loyalists, prefering the old flag to the new, left the States and renewed their British allegiance in Nova Scotia. “By them was 1aid the -foundations of the now considerable city of St. John, while many of them settled in Halifax, where they contributed at once and in no small measure to the enterprise . of the community and where their descendants still retain that devotion to the Empire which has had o remarkable a demonstra- tion in these last troubled years for Britain’s far-flung lines. “Among these was Sir John Went- worth, the last royal governor of New Hampshire, who succeeded his uncle, Benning Wentworth, in that post. He was made Governor of Nova Scotia, received a baronetage, was finally re- tired with a liberal pension and died at Halifax in 1820 at the age of S4. “Halifax has always been essentially English. It s, nevertheless, _sur- rounded by the settlements which the earlier French had established in that part of the world beginning as early as 1604; and it was not unmtil 1710 that British sovereignty was definitely set up. By the Treaty of Utrecht (1713-14) the Acadians were permit- ted to remain in the country, contin- uing their religion, vr fo leave with their personal effects. From 1755 to 1762, however, no less than 14,000 Acadians were forcibly dispossessed, and Longfellow’s ‘Evangeline’ has im- mortalized their sufferings. The remaining French have re- celved wide liberty in religion and politics in the effort of the dominant race to wipe out the bitter” memories of those earlier days: but their loyalty is probably of the intellect rather than of the heart. Indeed, Sir Wilfrid Lau- rier, In 1897. in an adliress delivered in Paris, said: ‘We are loyal to France the great nation that gave us life. We are faithful to England, the great na- tion ~which has given us liberty. While Etienne Pascal Tache has de- clared that ‘the last shot fired on American soil in defence of the Brit- ish soil would be fired by a French- Canadian.” “The environs of Halifax are de- lightful. The city is capped by its citadel, a picturesque Martello_tower: and the Arm, a three mile flord, is made by.

When completed, these improvements will find Halifax as the climax of the grand Canadian trans- continental railway scheme — the transshipment point intended to guar- antee that Candian goods will be en- tirely carried over British_soil, the link in the great British “All Red” transport system of which _English statesmen have long dreamed.” OTHER VIEW POINTS After all the affronts to the supreme court of the United States by the four railroad brotherhoods who refused to await the decision before striking, the Adamson eight hour law has been held to be constitutional. “Stop, Look and Listen,” a sign the railroad men see every day, went unheeded in thse case. —New Britain Herald.
