That Germany is not accomplish- ing all that it expected to as the re- sult 6f fts unrestricted submarine warfare is to be gathered from the statement of a professor in Germany to the effect that no considerntic whatever should be shown to the Crews of vessels sunk, in order that By such methods sreater terror might be created and therefore greater sue- ofes Be secured by the operations of the underwater boats by _actually ing shipping off the “seas. cs more does this sort of diepo- sition aisciose the desperation which Sctuating some of the leadevs of n keltur.

THE ITALIAN OFFENSIVE. With the eperations which hav been going on on the various fronts in the Buropean war there cannot help being a deep interest taken in mew offensive which has been launched by the Italian foraes on the Isenzo front. Italy has been hoid- i8g back the Austrians, and efforts, jtogether with the act of the British and French on the wes efn line, has checked the threatened oftensive by Austro-Hungary and ‘it i8 now moving ahead with the idea of complsting the tasi whieh it un- 00k last year of captuting T ehief port of Austria. Tae graphical copditions along th J ian front ara different from most the othars It is confronted with t Aifficulties but it is doinz ex sellent work to overcome them, and It strikes now at a time when Ger- many is devoling every energy to siop the aliled forces in northern France and while new and determined sforts are being made along the Macedonian froni. It is all a part of the plan decided upon long since of Speping the central powers busy up- 5p as many fronts as possible at the same time that they may have no op- pbrtunity to transfer their auxiliary forces from ome point to another. It is unfortunate that Russia is not able to' get its armies into action now in comcert with the others, for it is wppreciated that Germany has taken advantage of the lull in the east to sénd many divisions to the reliet of armies in the west, but Italy nev- heless opens its drive under favor- 5 conaitions. Its armics are in séellent shape, its supplies are adequats and promising resuits are indicated. FRANCE'S NEW COMMANDER. France has been making some more changes in regard to its war depart- ment commanders. General Petain, the hers of Verdun, has been made . sommander in chief, a position wkich he was urged to take when Joffre of £ | timist cause he would not be given the full control which he sought. General Nivelle was selected for the work at that time under a different title and he has given an excellent account of himself ever since he underfook the task. The way has apparently been cleared now whereby General Petain can be pinced in full charge, beinz raised from chief of staff, te which position General Foch, ome of the leaders who took part in the battle of the Marne, is now assigned from the reserve list, and Gemeral Nivelle has become eommander of several armies on the western front, which will doubtiess correspond to the position which he bas been filling for the past several months. Thers can be no question but what these three generals are among the best that France ham They are fighters and they are leaders who have sccemplishea sreat things with the French army. This new arrange- ment will doubtiess bring the direc- tion of the FYench armies to the high- cst degree of efficiency. Excellent results have been attained in the past but there is always an opportunity for better. Great faith has always been manifested in Petain even as there was in Joffre and by his ele- vation sto supreme command with such menm as Foch and Nivelle work- ing in clese cooperation with him there are reasons for believing that France will henceforth give better ac- counts of itself. SUBSCRISE TO THE LOAN. There are a great many people in this country who, not being able to shoulder & gun or to join either the army or navy for one reason or an- other, have expressed not only their willingness to but thefr wish that they eould perform some patriotic service during the present state of war. Whether they realize it or not such an opportunity is afforded by the ap- peal which fs beinz made for a gen- eral participation in the Liberty loan. Here Is a chance for almost every- one te do his part for that is what it jamounts to in the fial analysis, and it showld be remembered that sub- scribing to this loan does not mean the giving of that sum to the sov- ernment. It is an imvestmient in gov- crnment bonds which the government is urging upon the people at thls time. No better seeyrity can be ob- tainea tham Is afferded by this loan. It is certain and at the rate of three and a half par cent it means a good return, free from taxation, when the character of the security is taken In- to_consideration. There' have been many large sub- scriptions for the honds, but ¥2.900.- 000,000 is 2 biz sum and it s desirca that there should be as large a par- ticipation therein @as possible. The fact that everyone should do his bit ought to make its appeal for a larsg part of the assistance which this country is abie to give at the pres- ent staze is financial. There is n. auestion but what we have the money | and there can be no guestion but what cveryone ishould respond and meke sure that fhe necessary amount is not only raised but heavily over subscribed. It is bound to have its effect upon the prestize which the entents nations will gain by this country’s cntrance into the war. JOSEPH H. CHOATE. Held in the highest regard throuch- out the natien, Joseph H. Choate was entitied to all the hommrs that were paid him. A great American, a great lawyer and a cfttzen of the highest type, Whose activities were maintain- ed to the very end and even planned bevond, he threw himsel? into what- ever he undertook with a determina- tion and a seriousness which brousht results. Even at his advanced age he to a most important part in the recep- tion and_entertainment of the mem- bers of the war missions and he ada- ed strensth to the appeals whith were volced by the visiting delegates, and particularly is this true in the in- stance where he put Into plaln En- glish_the advice of General Joffre, at the iuncheon given this war leader and Viviani in New York, when he in explanation of the need of doing something and of gettin~ this coun- try's programme laid out exclaim- ed “For God's sake, hurry up.” He has always urged the entrance of this country into the war and It was he who declared after the step had been taken that he could then hold up his head as high as age would permit. Of good old New England stock, an extemporaneous speaker whose ability was seldom equalled and never ex- celled, the possessor of keen wit and a shrewd and deep thinker, Joseph | H. Choate has throulh the reputa- tion which he has built up, not enly in hiz own country but abroad, erect- ed a monument which will not be quickly effuced. He lived to a ripe old aze and he established an envia- ble record. EDITORIAL NOTES. The mar ow the corner says: An op- does not believe in signs un- portend good.

"I repeated questioningly. “Yes, the little play that's to be giv- en at the Wayfarers' club. Surely you know about Luclle?” ‘When there’s so much going on it's difcult to remember all one’s engage- ments. It siipped my mind for a mo- ment,” T answered casually. A little later I called up my old friend Arthur Knight and whether 1 was not to receive an_invitation to the-spring frolic at the Wayfarers.” ‘Why, haven't you—hasn't anybody No. Arthur,” I replied laughing. “I haven invited, but as I have so many friends in the Wayfarers' I feel sure it's merely an oversight, and as I really wish to see the little play, I think I can be perfectly frank with bt “That's right, Luctle!” sald he. “Tm £1ad you did tell me, for I am taking {my mother, and I think it would be very nice if you would go with us. “It would be lovel, ‘our mother 18 such a dear,” 1 said gratefully, and Arthur then asked me to be ready at 7.30. ‘You see” he explained, “I'm one of ‘the reception committee and I must be on_duty early.” ‘Very well!” 1 promised gavly. “You will find me booted and spurred, or rather wrapped In my party cloak at 7.80 sharp. Mother came to my room on Thurs- day late in the afternoon and said that I must not nap any longer, be- cause father had just teiephoned that he was bringing home a man to din- ner. “What a bore, mother!” I yawned, “Who is the man? If it's just some old fusty-boots. I won't go down to din- ner. Cousin Fannie can bring me a bite up here.

When father introduced me to a dis tinguished looking New Yorker 1 was not sorry that J had made a careful toilet. I found *Mr. Hollings extreme- Iy fascinating. 1 thought for a mo- ment of telephoning Arthur that it would not be passible for me to go to the Wayfarers’, but I reflected that my absence would be noted by Lora, and perhaps some of my other feline friends. and as 1 learned that Mr. Hollings was taking a 9.30 train I de- cided that I had better Keep my en- gagement after all.

Mrs. Knight did not say another word, and Arthur's conversation was extremely desultory. I was thinking of how pleasant it is to meet a new and intevesting man like . Mr. Holllngs. and_I- was wondering whether Aunt Rachel would invite me to visit her at her Long Island home tiis summer. Mrs. Knight made no effort to con- ceal her anmoyance wen she found that the first act of ‘Smilinda's Way" had been piaved before we arrived at the club. She said she thought it was unpardonable of us to disturb the au dience by taking our seats in the mid- die of the second act. - As matter of fact she did not ap- pear to enjoy the evening at all, and it required a great deal of good spirit and poise on my part to rise above her querulous remarks.

LETTERS Edity Many people in this city agree with the letter sigmed in this morning’s Bulletin by F. H. S, regarding the little lost Greek girl who disappeared on last Friday afternoon. 1t does seem as if our police have failed to use every meahs in their power to find Jttle Kostick Constandi. This is a pretty little girl. It the Boy Scouts and the soldiers had been caled into the case on Sat- urday morning the little girl would have becn found before now. Why the long delay, with the present policy of_“watchful waiting” by the police? Why don’t the police who are baf- fled call in crime experts to solve this mystery? They should act before it is too late. Why don’t the policé call upon the sheriff and etate police for ald, as the litte girls sudden disap- pearance appears to be too much of a puzzle for them to solve? There appears a lack of interest among the police in this affair. Would auicker action have been taken if the Greek father had riches and influ- ence? Jt would be a good idea for the mayor to shake up the police, offer a large reward. and cmploy crime ex- perts. Why shouldn't an expert be hired to investigate the police as well as the gas and electric works? There's need enough of it. Will this case be like that of Jimmy Glass? Yours truly, A MOTHBR. Norwich, May THE WAR PRIMER By National Geographic Society. The Fortress of Ham—Retiring from Noyon, where as Clemenceau was s0 fond of taunting Briand, the Germans lay so long ensconced, the Teuton in- vader and his pursuers swept by the ruins of the town and fortress of Ham when they had encompassed _about two-thirds of the distance t® the so- called von _ Hindenbyrg line, which runs from St. Quentin on the south to Cambrai on the north. “Hlere, in the Department of the Somme and on the river of that name, stood the town, dating from the earl- iest period of French history and counting no less than half a dozen successive ecclesiastic and feadal lordships until it finally was united with the French crown in the reign of Henry IV,” savs a war geography bulletin just prepared and issued by the National Geographic Society which goes on to tell something of the his- tory of this famous old center. “Great names appear in the list of Ham' chieftains—Enghien, Rohan Vendome and Navarre—and greater nanges still re found in the roster of sta¥e pris- oners who have found incarceration in its mighty fortress. “This _structure Eighth Centur: dated from the and in form it was a huge square, flanked by four round towers united by three ramparts. It had but one entrance, on the side next the town, to which access was had by a drawbridge spanning a dry moat. On two sides the waters of the St. Quen- tin Canal bathed the walls of the an- clent citadel. “Its dungeon was built by Louis of Luxembourg, whose house at one time held the flef of Ham. He at the time —under the reign of Louis XI—was Copstable of St. Pol: and the greater of the two towers which defended the curtains of the fortress was known as the Constable’s Tower. It was a hun- dred fect high, fts walis having a country it does not appear that it is having the desired effect in lessening the number of automobile fatalities.

Here it was that the Ministers of Charles X were brought to expiate their of- fence of signing the ordinance that caused the ~downfall of the Orleans throne: and one of them, the Comte de Peyronnet. has gone on record in a complaint, which was published in the newspapers of the time, against the conditions which he found there. ‘The prison of Ham is very badly situated,” he wrote. ‘and, moreover, unhealthy. It is enveloped in fos half the day, The promenade covers a space of about 150 feet at the end of a ram- part where not more than two persons can walk abreast.’ “These prisoners were released in 1836 by the terms of the amnesty then prociaimed; and four years later Ham opened its doors to the most adven- turous of all its captives, Louis Na- paleon. “This imitator of his great uncle, having failed in his Boulogne filibust- ering expedition of August, 1840, was temporarily held at Ham for a few days following his cagfure and until he could be taken to Paris for his trial before the Chamber of Peers. After his condemnation to perpetuai imprisonment, he was returned te Ham in October of that vear; and there ke remained until May, 1846, when he effected his eecape. From Ham, Louis Napoleon made his way to Belgium an: thence to England. From London ie was recalled to Paris, at the overthrow of the Bourbons, to become a member of the new Chamber of Deputies; and within less than three years from_the day of his es- cape he had made himself Prince- President of the Republic of France and in little more than five years had encompassed the coup-d'etat which gave him the imperial crown. “In his contest for the French Pres- idency Louis XNapoleon was opposed by General Cavaignac, who figured next in the list of plebiscite but at a long interval. The vanquished Cav- algnac never relinquished his hostility to his euccessful rival, however, and at the time of the coup-d'etat he was one of the sturdiest opponents,of the plot and was joined in his opposition by General Lamorclere, who had been Minister of War under him. Louis Napoleon, as Emperor, could not for- give these men and it was with grim humor, no doubt, that he caused them to be'imprisoned at Ham where he himself had passed six weary years. ‘That portion of the district of the Somme where Ham stands is marshy, though rich, in soil, and long has been a center of the market-gardening of which the thrifty French are suth masters. The town numbered between three and four thousand people, and like all the ancient seats of power had s “cathedral—which boasted eight centuries of history, though the pres- ent day structure i¥ its entirety dates only from 1760, when it was largely destroyed by fire and since has had restoration. “In the Franco-Prussian war of 1570 Ham was the scene of many enzage- ments between French and German troops and the place was taken and retaken many times in that campaign. It fell in the present war in that vie- torius first month's march of the Ger- mans up on Paris: and as the pureu- ing French heastened past the ruined but still historic walls of its castle there must have been more than one to whom the citadel spoke In terms whieh stirred emotion.” In Other Pays.

Those who e wonder at the slowness of recruiting should take into consideration all the valu- able men who have been rejected be- cause of slight physical impediments such as in the case of Taft's son.— New Britain Herald.

Many of the 0'd inhabitants have gone, it ix true, but a large proportion have. stayed behind, in spile of ihe perils und restrictions which proxim- ity to the trench area involve, and, though the bustle of war has put an end to many of their wonted daily avocations, starvation is far removed from the door even of the nearest dwelling place. The vast floating population of sol- ‘diers is the secret of the war zone's prosperity. The soldiers, men able and willing to pay good curreney for services rendered, have provided the remaining population with opportuni- ities of which the people have not | been siow to avail themseives. Though at any moment death may swoop out of the skies, claiming as its victims soldier and civillan allke, there _ls money to be earned by those who cirs to run the risks, and work is to be had for the asking, at profits undreamed of in peace times. Moreover, the great- er the risk the greater the profit. Dotted all over the country and clustering closely together in the towns ana villages, ~_are numerous cafes which sell the light Flemish beer and French wines in addition to sup- plying food anag other forrss of re- freshment. These cafes do a flourish- ing trade, and the closer to the lines the better the trade and the hizher the prices. It is true the trade is kept well In hand by the stringent meas- |ures of control enforced by the au- thorities. The sale of spirits is stern- Iy suppressed and disohedience is pun- ished by the suppression of the house. Anywhere in the war zone in France }a cup of coffee and an omelet can gen- erally be obtained at a reasonable cost, and many of the houses have notices in their windows announcing “bacon and chips” at moderate price. Almost ev- ery house contains somethinz for sale, ranging from a modest atore of choq- olate and picture posicards to the full stock in trade of a well equipped vil- lage general store Another very profitable occupation in the war zone is lace making. The women Dehind the notrhern part of the ine make lace as good as can be bought anywhere in the worid. It may be obtained either in lengths for trim- ming purposes or made up in the form of dainty handkerchiefs, caps or aprons. All day they work at the win- dows of their cottages, old women and young girls, heedless of the guns which often thunder about them. The laces are eagerly bought by British soldiers mindful of their women folk at home. and_often orders have to be placed weeks ahead. The prices charged leave & good argin of profit. Plenty of other means of livelihood are open to any who care to take ad- vantage of them.
