In view of the recognized danger in- tolved in the crossing of railroad tracks where they intersect the high- way, it would seem that the locating of guerds, the erecting of gates, the placing of signs and establishing of automatic signals at such points for the purpose of warning those using the hiskway would be sufficlent to eause vehicle drivers of all kinds to pay proper attention, but there is plenty of evidence that it does not. Regardless of the efforts which are put forth by the railroads there are those who persist in disrezarding their own safety, as wel the safety of those who may be with them, by ne- gotlating railroad crossings without even lowering their speed, with no thought of condescendinz to stop, 100l and listen, and in some cases there have been those who indicated by their metion in crashing throuzh lowered gates and racing for crossings with Jocomotives that they did not Intend to submit to any rezulations. This is a recklessness which enti- tles such ari: little sympathy. The trouble lies with themselves and 56 amount of warning will prevent it having | h They imsist upon their own Wway and it is such drivers who con- te in a large measure to the large number who are killed at grade rossings each year, there having been jver 2,000 lives snuffed out in such a 3 nothing of the even larger number who were in- Jured. In order to reduce this number the New Haven road is now makinz an appeal to auto drivers by mecans of Posters. It is a commendable move on Phefr part but if it amounts to no tmore than the other effocts which have Peen made to arousc intcrest in per- jonal safety, the paper minht just as Well have been saved. CONSCRIPTION. ¥rom the action which has been taken by both houses of congress upon the matter of conscription, it is ap- pacent that a larze majority in each is convinced of the wisdom of fdopting such legisiation for the r: ing of an army in preference to se- puring one by the old method of vol- ing. Jt makes it certain that members of congress have care- Zully conmsidered the mistakes whaich have been made by others in thinking fhat the volunteer method means effi- #lency and that there is no desire for $his country to, blunder along any such way in face of the unsatisfactory experiments and blunders of others. * There arc certain features of the Biils whreh have been prcsentsd and &cted upon in the respective houses Zoncerning whish there will have to be further consideration, but they ave matters which ought to be readily agreea upon. The reai hard fight was center=d upon the selective draft and in resard to thet the opposition is found to be small. The real important fact is that the national lezislators kave shown that they are convinced of the importance of edrrying out the wishes of the administration and do- inz now what would unquestionably be fequired later If the volunteer plan should be given a try out, and the re- Suits be the same as have been experi- enced by others who resorted to it. By .the course that has been agreed @pon there can be no question but what the greatest aid will be given fo those who will have the responsi- Bility of prosecuting the war and bringing it to a successtul conclus At the earliest possible moment. “THE GREEK SITUATION. ‘There is a great deal of uncertainty to just what course the king of G is going to pursue. He has Been a stumbling biock for the allies since the early days of the wag. e has a icaning towards the central | solvable and he would have joined :lhe German cause long before this. Recently. however, there have been many conflicting rumors in rogard to Greecee. One in Wwhich little faith is placed is to the effect that Constan- tine is going to join the alliss. An- otker story was to lhe effect that he had delivered what was practically an ultimatum to the allies and unless they accepted his demands and re- fused to let French troops on Greek soil he would deciare war upon the aliies, but with Greece practically powerless to get supplies except through the agency of the ¢ntente, and the people divided as they are with a srong opposition to Constantine there is little probapility of any such step peing taken by Graece. Such of course would simply mean suicide. But Greece, with Constantine who owes his place to the powers which he has steadily opposed, has been the cause of much embarrassment to the allies. If they are now prepared to exert pressure which will overcome that and eiiminate the possibility of Greek backfire, it will release the ar- my at Saloniki and cn the Macedonian front for much more cffective work than it has done in the past, and there 1s no better time than the present for making use of It THE UPBUILDING OF THE NEW HAVEN. | The eveninz of May marks the change ir the management of the New Haven road which can be expected as the result of President Pearson, who has bad long and extensive experi- ence on western lines. stepping into the offico from which Howard Elliott has resigned after giving four vears of hard work in adjusting the mud- dled situation of this important trans- portation system. As has been said before Mr. Elliott has done much for the New Haven. It cannot be sxid % be back on its feet again because there are still many problems which remain to be worked out but Mr. Biliott has made an excel- leat beginning. During his regime he has been called upon to face many new and serious situations, soms of which were not apparent at the time he undertook his tas but they are there is good reason for believing, from his ability, his knowl- edze ok railroads and the peculiar con- vhich surround the New Ha- ven and the insichi which he zained into its =ffairs during th: he has been connected therewith that President Pearson can be relied upon to continue the efficient direction of the road where Mr. Elliott as presi- dent leaves off. The legisiatures of the states in which this system operates have been frankly told what must be done to aid the road if it is going to do for these states what is expected anl what it wants to There is evidence already that they are convinced of the need of such action and with the states cooperating in rendering assist- ance and the people doing their part as they have in the past several years the upbuilding of the system will surely and steadily result. That 1s what New England wants and that is what it must aid in. PROFITING FROM OTHERS. In the past few years there has been a demand for changes in municipal and state governments throughout the country, which has resulted in many new idcas being put into effect. There are those who continue to advocats the institution of the initiative and referendum just the same as there are those who are urzing the commission form of government, but in either of the cases under consideration there are plenty of instances which go to show that they have failed to accomplish what was expected where they bave been adopted. In numerous instances the commis- sion form of government has been shown to contain as many shortcom- ings and to be open to as many mis- takes as the form which it replaced. And the same is true of the initiative and referendum. In this connection it is interesting to note that there is a strong mova- ment in South Dakota at the present time to abolish the initiative and ref- erendum where it has been in opera- tion for the past 13 vears. Governor Norbeck declares that there has heen only one law adopted in that state by the jnitiative, the Richards primary law, and that after two vears was so unpopular that it ‘was denounced by both parties and has since been r pealed by the legislature. FEquaily un- vor s been the operation of o m, which in the opinion i 10 governor has become an instru- ment in the hands of special inter- ests and been used by such to sus- pend good laws. It must therefore be apparent to those states which have failed to rusn into such changes that they hava profited by walting for the impulsive to bring out and develop the defects when such so called reforms have been advecated.

Some people lookx around for a chance to be of service, just as if they expected to get an Inspiration from the angle worm. That chap who Instituted a suit for a divorce two days after he was mar- ried, probably docsn't care how soon conseription is started “The idea of living in lavers has never appealed to me,” remarked Mrs. Benson the first evening in their new flat, “but perhaps now that we no longer have Lily we won't be so lone. some here as in the oid home in the country.” “It's” ‘snug here, my dear,’ said Benson. “and when you get acquaint- ed with the other people here in the building I hope you'll be contented.” Much to their surprise, the other temants did not_call upon the Ben- sons, and Mrs. Benson felt neglected. In the town where they had formerly 1ived it was customary to call on new- comers- promptly. “Never mind, perhaps the folks here aren’t worth Knowing,” sald her hus- band when she spoke of the matter. “But 1 like to have neighbors!" Mrs. Benson protested. “Then ‘perhaps the people here will warm up some when they see what a thoroughly respectable old couple we are” Benson offered, trying to be cheerful. A few mornings after this conversa- tion Mrs. Benson said, as ehe poured the breakfast coffee: “Stephen, I'm afraid some of our neighbors are, ae you said not worth knowing. I fear they're far from being desirable ac- auaintances.” “What in the world makes you think that? The agent assured me that no apartments in the city had a better class of tenants than these.” “But he can’t know everything about everybody here. “Of course not! What have you dis- covered?” “T believe that the people above us are counterfeiters!” ‘How unpleasant!” commented Ben- son. “Wh, my dear Mrs Sherlock Holmes, what make you beiieve that?” “Of course you think it's a joke, Lut there is surcly something mysteri- ous about the flat over us. I never hear a footfall there between 7 in the morning and 7 in the evening, and then sometimes I hear strange noises tntil_far into the night. You would, toc, Stephen, if You didn’t sieep like a lo: ‘Mavbe the people up there sleep in the daytime 22d work at night.” “But what kind of work Is it that has to be done in that flat in the mid- dle of the night? I hear them ti toeing around thelr flat, and every lit- tle while dropping some instrument or tool with = fearful crash. I'm sure they're counterfeiters and I think you ought to report them to the agent or the police.” ¥ “Not without more evidence. Til wake you to-night and then, maybe, Siephen, when you hear those strange sounds Yourself you'll take my fears more seriousiv.” “Very well,” agreed Benson. “Any thing ithat causes you to disturb my midnight slumbers bound to be taken seriously by me.” But when he was awakened from his first sleep that nigit to listen to the strange sounds above ke had to admit that there was something_queer going on, perhaps. ‘Now, Stephen,” said Mrs. Benson in the morning, “don’t you think there hould be an investigation at onco? I think its vour duty to report those people without deia; S Benson mumbled something about having to attend to his own business first, exhibiting, his wife declared, a sad lack of public spirit. When he returned from his ‘work at night she asked excitedly whether he had donc anything about the matter. i “Honestly, Julla, 1 didn't have time today. You see, the manager had & b St ‘Oh, I'm so glad,” Mrs. Benson in- terrupted. “I've been worried aimost past endurance for the last half hour.” “But, dear girl, you were insleting o dom't know wet what's happened! You see, when I came in from a walk a little while ago 1 went up three flights of stairs instead of two and walked right into the flat above us! I was surprised to find the door on the latch and I thought I'd been very careless, but it was some- body else’s carelessness. “I heard a young voice cry out, “Oh, ‘Will, I'm so glad you're home early. “Then 1 saw it wasn't our flat at all! “‘Im not Wiil’ I answered. I'm just a blundering old woman in the wrong flat. I'm sorr; “‘“Won't you please come in to see me? I'm in the mext room.’ Of course I went to the bedroom, and there lay a girl just about the age of our Lily. “*‘Why, my child, what's the mat- ter? I atked, and I went right to the bed and took her hand and she began to cry. “‘It's so good to see a woman again,” she said. ‘'Oh, you “Well, I tell you, it didn't take mie long to get her story, Stephen. She and her young husband came here from the country about a month ago. just before we came. They each had 2 clerking position and he is studying law at night school, but before they got their poor little furniture settled she fell while putting paper on those dreadfully high pantry suelves, and, just think of it, sprained both ankles! A _young medical student is their only friend here in the city and he comes in the evenings and ‘looks after her. Her husband does all the housework, cooking, washing and ironing at night.’ “Counterfeiting a housewife, I sup- pose. You're the prize investizator, Julia,” Benson chuckled, ‘and now, my dear, we have neighbors, haven't we?" “Yes, and I'm going to cook enough dinner for all four of us. That poor boy and girl need a wholesome meal, 1 know! 1 made her promise to ser her husband down here here at o'clock eharp to get their share.”— Chicago New LETTERS TO THE EDITO3 The Milkman’s Position. Mr. Editor: It seems to me that your correspondent, sizning himse.f or her- scif “A Subscriber,” is entirely unfair and unjust to the milkmen, in calling unon the housewives of Norwich to lessen their quantity of milk used, in order to bring down the price of milk The Subscriber blames the milkmen for a possible shortage of milk in_the he will have to quit and the public will have to pay still more on account of a shortage of milk. The Subscriber malkes a very mis- ieading statement of the selfishness of the milkmen, by comparing a former wholesale price with the proposed re- tail price of milk. The milkmen have plainly shown their customers the necessity of ad- vancing the price of milk to meet the constantly increasing price of grain and_other supplies that go with the business, and it seems utterly unrea- sonable, to expact them to deliver their product at former prices- under pres- ent conditions. At this time when the government farmer to make food, vhen is calling upon every effort possible to raise seems a little inconsistent, as made that effort and sec ket his product, to be met by hostile sentiments as expressed by “ Subscriber.” Respectfully he it he A MILK PRODUCER.

Mr. Editor: Milkmen whoare charg- ing 12 cents a quart for milk ought to be adle to tell exactly why they are charzing it. Milkmen living distant from cities are striving to get from 4 to 4 1-2 cents a quart as a satisfactory com- pensation: and those living in the milk distributing zone of cities have been receiving the year round 8§ cents a quart, or 100 per cent. more than satisfies the interior milk producers. The Norwich milkmen have raised their price 40 per cent. since last September—20 per cent. having been added as the new grass season opens when the cost of producing milk usual- 1y cheapens. The old-fashioned milkmen used to lessen the price of milkk 17 2-3 per cent. in April and increase it 17 2-7 per cent. in September when thsy be- gan to feed graim. Customers who are buving Irom 2 to 3 quarts of milk a day ean easily get along with less. These custom- ers are now given 9 quarts for a dol- lar. Whew! BILL.

Several Belgians who were deported |into Germany recently -aped acro: ixhe frontier into Holland. A statemont | telling of their experiences while in tiermany has been prepared for the Belgian Government at Havre. A condensation of the statement was |vent to James A. Whiteley, the Dsel- |gian Consul General in Baltimore. As |given out by Mr. Whiteley, the docu- imi‘nt read; | "“The Belztan government has re- ceived further treatment of th news concerning the Belgian deportees in Germany. The weport was received from a number of men who escape from Germany and who made the fol- lowing deciaration to the Belgian au- thorities: “All the men of our village from 17 to 55 vears of age were ordered at the sound of the drum to appesr on De 5, 1916, before the local military co ol at’ Florenville, (Belgian Luxem- bourg.)

The se- lection was made without regard whatever to age, trade, professicn, physical strength or social class, but the few men who had_consented to work for the enemy in Belgium were, of course, not taken.

Py then some other deporters had =ot into our train, so that we were nearly 500 when we arrived. They left us an hour standing on the platform at Muenster, where the crowd mocked us and insulted us then they marched us between soldiers to the camp of Muen- sterlager, where we arrived at § o'clock at might. There they gave us our rations of rutabaga soup and some blankets. (The rutabaga, is a_kind of beetroot only used for cattle feed be- fore the war and which has, to a great extent, replaced the potato in Belgium.) At Muensterager the de- jportees got a cup of coffee in the morning, a ration of rutabaga eoup at midday, and in the evening a piece of bad bread and some more soup. “We met in the camp a great num- ber of deportees from Mons and the surrounding district. They had ar- rived six weeks before and were in a most_pitiful condition. Two of them died before our cyes in one day. Strong men of twenty to thirty were abso- lutely worn out and walked like old men” with bent backs and shuffling feet. They had undergone terrible o perieces. Having refused o work for the enemy, thev had been taken to a punishment camp, (strafiager,) where they had been compelled to work in the marshes during forty-iwo days in the coldest weather with o their shirt and trousers on, without food during the whole day. One day a patro] trained a machine-gun on them, and as they still refused to sign an engagement, they were fired at with blank cartridges. Another day. soldiers threatened them with _rifie: and bayonets. We only met at Muen- ster part of those who survived this treatment. The same story was told ue by all those who had been to the ‘straflager; so that we can guarantee its anthenticity. “There was in the camp a labor bu- reau visited by all the employers of the surrounding towns. Some of us, unable to stand the regime of the camp any longer and hoping to be able to escape more easily if we were not under immediate milltary super- vision, consented to work in the Man- nesmann munition factory at Gelsen- kirchen. A daily salary of 8 to 12 marks was promised out of which 2 marks 60 pfennings would be taken for our board and ledging. We were to_be allowed to correspond with our reiatives in Belgium, and to receive parcels from them. Leave after two months in order to go to Belgium was promised with definite relzase after these promises would be kept. cards to Belgium never reached their and our salary was not paid. They took 3 marks 35 pfennings for our board, and after six weeks at Gelsenkirchen only 8 marks 50 pfen- nigs were glven to us—one day’s wages. “We finally succeeded In reaching {he froner at the end of January st OTHER VIEW POINTS Governor Holcomb has appointed Senator R, B.
