Although istration day fis days off, it is not a hit too early for those who are affected by the law re- all between the ages of 21 and usive, to register for military in preparation for the draft- re: five service inz which will be resorted to in rais- ing an arm; i of proper of them <imfle of the registration cards | which shows the estions 1o he answered, 2 half million men, to attention to what rec form and there has also been published an explanation of the «questions which indicate what is desired in- the ages is the excep- with tion of oficers and enlisted men of | the rezular army, navy, marine corps, ! national guard and maval militia,| while In the service of the count officers in listed mer ive the reserve corps and en- in the reserve corps while Sick men, cripples, have a clim for ex- emption because of physical disability must register.

And this applies nct only to citi- zens but to aliens as well. When the order savs everybody, that is Just what it means. All men between the designat>d ages must therefore re- member the date and comply with re- quirement There is a severe penalty for not doing servie: o ma: those w st M'MILLAN'S PARTY SAFE. Interest attaches to the ex- peditions which set out for the polar regions in rch of new facts and information. one understands bet- ter than those who make up such par- ties just what the hardships and the dangers are that ean be anticipated in advance, but there is no one among most experienced in such work who can tell just what is going to be encountered before his return, if indeed he succeeds in getting back. Thus, even though there are many other problems which are getting the attention of the people today, there cannot help being a certain amount of interest in the cablegram which has been received in this country dis- closing the fact that the MacMillan party is accounted for and safe. This expedition went in search of Crocker land, that mountainous section which Peary thought he saw far off in the distance on his trip to the pole. Mac- Millan and the scientists with him went in search of that supposed land. They encountered & series of mishaps, always but determined that what Peary thought he saw does not exist, and | peace taik which is rife that Crocker land was only a mirage. Shipwrecked and later frozen in on another vessel, there was uncertainty as to the fate of scveral members of the expedition. Two made their way back to civilization, but nothing hav- ing been heard from the others an- other relief ship was about to be sent to And those seekers of scientific data who had not been heard from for two vears. Not only does the message which has beer reccived render unnecessary this searching party, but the knowl- edze that all are safe and well can- not help being with gratification whether there is any personal inter- est in the expedition or not. The in- trepid exploder never fafls to awaken a keen interest in his welfare and ac- complishments. CHECKING THE SUBS. A lot of encouragement is being felt. especially in England, over the success which has been obtaimed in the past few weeks in fghtinz the submarin menace. T is of course recognized by all the members of the great alliance that this is one of the big problems which must be solved in order to brinz the war to an earlier conclusion, and for that reason evers energy must be devoted to its solu- tion. For the past thres weeks there has bren a marked falling off in the num- of vessels which have been sent to the bottom by the underwater boats. This is in decided contrast to the period of similar duration which preceded it. when the toll of the sub- sea craft teached alarming fizures and caused conmsternation on both cides of the water. Nothing definite as to what has brousht the change ahout is aisclosed. except that it comes as the reeuit of increased ac- tivities in which this country and Ja- pan are participating, and the inti- mation that new devices are being It employed in destroying the subs. matters little whether this inform: tion. which would describe the new operations, s made public or not. The real necessity is to see that the power of the submarines is lessened and if the allies are preventing the destruc- tion of shipping by new methods which are being used, the discussion of the means used can profitably wait. That such is really being accom- plished is pretty conclusively indicat- ed by the manner in which Premier Liovd George is assuring the British people that the submarines are fall- inz short of their objective, an atti- tude which is somewhat different than he manifested only a short time ago, for Lloyd George would not be in- clined to display optimism in such a matter if there was not actuaily rea- son for it. If this decrease In the number of vessels sunk continues it will demonstrate that the favorable outlook, which he sees in this direc- tion, is well founded. HUNGARY’S NEW PREMIER. Every country has undergone its changes since the opening of the war. Each has had its trouble with cabinet alteratfons. Prominent leaders have heen succeeded by others. Heads of the armies have been changed, and new policies have been adopted. Rev- olutions have even featured the events in some countries, to say nothing of the strikes which have occurred as the result of the conditions accom- panying war. Austria-Hungary. has among other things experienced a change in the head of the dual monarchy and just at the present time, while so much is being said about peace in that coun- try, a successor has beeén named to Count Tisza as premier of Hungary in the person of Count Andrassy. This change would appear to mean much to the strong ally of Germany inasmuch as Count Tisza has been recognized as the strong supporter of German methods and ideas, the one upon whom iull rcliance was placed to keep Hungary in full accord with German domination. His resiznation therefore indicates that a change is taking place in that country and that his successor can he expected to be more favorable to the refo-ms that are demanded than he was. Whether this will extend to the foreign poiicy rémains to be seen. If Count Andras- sy proves to be a in that coun- try. it will be a marked change from tha attitude of Count Tisza. It may indicate a drawing awav from the German control which was represented by Premier Tisza, which may cause the kaiser some worry, but which tends to show that Emperor Charles is looking out for his own troubles, that his policies show a change from that of Fmperor Joseph and that the peace movement there is stronger than some are willing to admit. EDITORIAL NOTES. The man on the corner says: Am- bition is better displaved by cltmb- ing up a ladder rather than clamber- ng down. We have spent a lot of time talking about building ships, but the real ac- complishment will come when the shipyards begin to turn them out. John D. Rockefeller has put $5,000,- 000 more into the Liberty loan, malk- ing $15,000,000 in all. When it comes to investments John D., doesn’t zo far wrong. With over half of the Greek ships sunk by German submarines, no one but Constantine would cling to the idea that Germany was a friend of Greece. If Russia and Rumania back on the job, as indicated in re- ports from Burope, things will be made much more. interesting for the are soon German and Austrian armies. Word comes from Paris that the pecple of that city will not lay in any winter coal. A lot of people in this country are thinking that they will be forced to the same conelusion. If an explosive h: been discovered which is 10,060 times more powerful than dynamite, there is ecertainly great need for seeing that none of it is allowed to be kicked around loose- Iy. Tt is_interesting to note that while some Japanese in this country who have offered to enlist in the United States army were refused because they were too short, low visibility is greatly to be desired in certaln kinds of engasements. From the action which the mayor of Chicago took relative to asking th~ French mission to that city, and the attitude which he is showing to th~ Liberty loan. there can be no question but what he is doing his utmost to give comfort to the enemv. supporter of the | Yesterday morning I told father that it was my dearest wish to en- list_for war service and I begged him to buy an automobile so that I could join the women's auxiliary motor B “Buy a car now! I should say not,” he declared. “This is not the time for any ich expenditure and besides, 1 haven't_forgotten your smashing rec- ord. We can’t afford to be buying drug store windows this year. If you wish to show your patriotism begin at once to elimimate all extravagance. Join the army,of thrift, my dear! Wo- men can help in that way more than 1 expect you to begin at once to cut down all unnecessary expenses.” . But, daddy, T want to——" Yes, of course, you want to do something spectacular. I quite under- stand that. ‘But if vou'll begin now |to curtall your expenses it ~perhaps will be good discipline for more gor- ious service later.” Father’s gravity made me fesl that he was placing me on probation and that if T made good he would help me to do something more exciting than saving money. 1 determined to show him that I could be exceedingly eco- nomical. I had intended tc go to the stores to look at sports clothes. I decided that I would would to save carfare and that I would drop in on the way at Elizabeth. Deane’s for lunch. As she is a rather new mem- ber of my circ’e and somewhat of a anger in the city I thought she would appreciate such informal friend- ass. I rang and rang her apartment bell until I almost despaired of her being home, and I was Jjust wondering whether it would be too late to phone Walter Cox before he went out to lunch, when she answered a little im- patiently. “Were you asleep?” we had exchanged greetings,. too bad if I disturbed your morning nap. “You must think me awfully indol- ent, Lucile,” she aughed. “On the contrary, I'm awfully busy. 1 didn't answer the bell immediately because I 1 asked after “1 see you didn’t wish to be inter- rupted by peddiers or agents. What are you so busy about? Can I help you in any way? I'm walking down- town, but T can spare a little while for zood works.” T said smiling. “Thank you, ILtaile. T don't believe vou can help me any. I'm having what T call a grubby day. I've been darning Geof's socks, and pressing some of his ties, and now I'm begin- ning to rejuvenate my own wardrobe. Economy is our watchword.” “Ours. too!"™ I cried. “Indeed I'm walking downtown to save a nickel. E: 5 cents, counts, doesn’t it? 3 that’s the reason I've been coloring a white crepe blouse that ha become vellowed by many washing: “Oh, can you do it yourseif? How You just put some red ink in the rinse water, after washing the blouse. Of course, careful to get the color even.” “Do let me see your blouse!™ begged.

What a lark,” I said when I saw a laid neatiy on the kitchen table. T just adore this sort of thing.” . “Then perhaps I can induce you to join me in a repast of toast and cho- colate.” “Yes, I'll be delighted,” 1 acceyped gladly, supposing of course that she would add at least a soft-boiled esx to the menu. But she did not. “Your blouse is simply darling, said. ‘1 do wish I were as clever as vou, Eiizabeth; then I could have a new pink blouse, too. “I'l help you do one ady time, Lu- cile.” 4 take you up on that kind of- fer. “T mean you to, of course’ she re- turned, and I determined to go right home and look over my blouses: The telephone was ringing when I entered the house. It was George Re- quier inviting me to go to a war lec. ure that evening. 1 thought how nice would ke to have a pretty pink Dblouse to wear, so I flew back to Eliz- abeth with one to color. She appear- ed surprised to see me 2gain so s, | but 1 remarked that I thought she would rather dye my waist while her hand was in. “You see,” T said, “I'm going to let vou do it, because yours is such a suc- cess. Haven't you a job for me? I uld love to help vou in return.” ¢ lunch- dishes aren’t washed yet, and there are potatoes to peel for din- ner. I'm giving Geof potatoes for a treat tonight. It was really surprising of Eliza- beth to ask me to do such work, when she must realize that 1 am extremely particular about my hands. Mother glanced at me with surprise at dinner and inquired where I got the new pink blouse. I told her it was one of my first economies. “It doesn’t look it,” grumbled fath- ‘Well, it is. Only this morning it was an old vellowish white, and now Jjust look at it.” er. “I'm looking at it. and it looks strangely familiar,” returned mother. “You didn't really take my embroid- ered white crepe and dye it? Why, Lucile ow T eouldn’t bear to It was so vell have you wear You might have consulted me.” You weren't heme, mother, and I had a chance to get it colored for nothing this afternoon.

Editor: A'derman Dolbeare ap- peared in print in yesterday morning's Bulletin with an article endeavoring to justify himself for the overdrafts and the errors of omission of himself and his colleagues by drawing attention to some previous administration which had done the same thing. Two Wrongs do not make a right. When Mr. Doi- Dbeare and his colleagues were elected to fill city offices it was not for the | purpose of making the same mistakes which anybody else may have made. It was to do business, and to do it strictly in accordance with the Jaws. Now as he admits they have made overdrafis and they of omission, and the only justification for these overdrafts and errors of omission is the fact that somebody else did the same thing. Two Wrongs never vet made a right. What a poor argu- ment and what a_feeble expanation that was in his effort to justify him- self and his colleagues for their short- comings. / If the collecting of the city garbage has been done on previous occasions Alderman Dolbeare’s Feeble M for $7,500, what is there to justify its costing $13.0007 His explanation is not clear to me nor do I believe that not even himself. As to the $353.20 received from the Shore Line Electric Railway company i for its share of the concrete work laid by the city on Franklin street, that money should have been reappropriat- ed an3d paid out through the ity treas- ury department. Why was it riot done in the regular way instead of in this irregular manner? Does this criticism it is to anybod irregular, a'though it is very different from what was done in this instance, does that justify this performance? 1 should say ‘“No.” Where is the money i that was fivl)ro))rl@,ked to fix up Lower Broadway? Why has the work not been done, and where is the money that was appropriated to build certain sewers? And the year is now past. No matter what any other city gov- ernment has done contrary to Iaw, that is no excuse whatever for Mr. Dolbeare and his colleagues doing the same thing. It certainly affords us no “pleasure,” as he says in his own statement, to read the increasing items and the increasing tax rate. As a taxpayer I for one am very much opposed to this method of ad- ministering city government affairs. TAXPAYER. Norwich, Mav 31, 1917. City Inefficiencies. Mr. Editor: As one of our alder- men gives us a few more fizures to think about, it misht not be amiss to ask him why it would not be a good idea to have given a little more at- tention to the city water bafore it got into the rotten state which it has, but then he was discussing sarbase in that letter and he might have add- ed a little to the discussion of the water question as that tastes verv much as if the garbage was dumped into the water. ‘Would he kindly in- form us—is it a fact that the cashier of the water department's salary has been raised by some hundreds of dol- lars during this present administra- tion’s rule? Ts that a reward for the rotten water which has been served to_the people? He cvidently was a party to the cutting down of the city treasurer's salary until it now appears that the treasurer gets less than his clerk and the clerk, whom he must bi respon- sible for, must be approved by this same board of wiseacres. A beautiful program, the first of its character ever heard of in the city of Nwrwich. Mr. Dolbeare knows a great deal about the gas and electrical expert who came here and told us some things which it seems were not so: i other words. he told us things w were not facts. Why does this ex- pert make his report simply up to May? We would like to ask also, has this same gentleman been retained as conSultinz engineer by that depart- \ | have made errors jand buy a little fruit of someone else having done something ! ment at a salary the net revenue which percentage salary, flguring vhere from two of ten per cecnt. on of that department, is liable to give him on past bases, any- to five thousand a vear? When will these extravagances cease? What have we, the citizens, been benefited by being told that we have so many poles and so many wires and so many cross-arms? What has been the real actua: w=enefit -to the public by this extravagant expen- diture of a thousand dollars. and now we do not know how many thous- apnds more it is going to amount to. Th2 gas and electrical expert has recommended also an expert for the s department, and I suppose an- other fat salary for him. Whom has he to recommend for this position? Also he recommends that the super- intende: salare be increased. Ye Gods, when are the iIncreuses zoing to cease? Is it true that some members the council are drawing p; or doing inspection work on Thames strest? I hope it is not. 1If it is. it is the first time in the history of the citv of Nor- wich that I ever knew of such a per- formance. When the mayor and city ment cut the city treasurer’ why did they not cut the mayor say, one hundred dollars a year, some- thinz that would be sensible and rea- sonable for the services rondered? Would it not be a popular movement at the present time? Or if a poor one- armed man is unable to sell a few oranges or a little fruit of some kind of a Sunday in order to enaeavor to make an honest living. would it not be a good thing to take some of that alary, and vote it to him to assist him in gettinz a livelihocd? How much nicer it is to see a person go and eat it, than to o and buy some cigars and to- bacco and smoke it in somebody’s face to their discomfort. BCONOMY. May 31, 1917, LIBERTY LOAN IS PRICE OF PEACE. Let Us Pay This Price to Ourselves Now, or Later Pay It to Germany. Norwich, We are in this war and we can’t into W deans 1o war debts of ny. A nice mess we will be in ehould the submarine starve qut England, should Russia conelude l‘lpfitp.g peace and release three million veterans from the eastern front, and should utterly co.iapse. Ceptral Powers would then release France and England and our erushed trade only on condition that the Uni- ted States raise huge levies as war indemnities to pay Germany's debts. It doesn’t matter how this situation came about. The thing now to do is to prevent @ terrible misadventure from overtaking us. Americans want peace. We can have peace now only in one of two ways, by victery or by defeat, We have to pay huge sums as the price of peace. We will pay these sums to ourselves in form of na- tional loans, or we will pay them to the Central Powers in the form of war levies in case our alies are de- feated and our trade is posted for re- demption only on Germany's terms. When we start out to war with the ruthless militarism of Germany, we had better noi start out empty-hand- ed. Every man, woman and child in the United States has a formidable enemy confronting him or her, a ruth- jless enemy whose path we have cross- | ed, a trained eficient, experienced, desperate and vastly powerful enemy. It is going to take every dollar we can spare to defeat this Dragon. The American who desires to lie down after having invited Germany to crush him will best do so by avoid®ng his obiigation to subscribe to the Lib- erty Loan. In this way he can see to it that our soldiers shall “ack food, clothing, equipment and ammunitien to Jjust that degree. In this way he can en- sure the stagnation of domestic indus- try and his own loss. gn this way he can undermine the prestige of the United States and of government by democracy for which this nation stands. What American wishes himself thus labeled? None. It is the solemn duty of every man to invest $50 or $100 or 3500 in a Liberty Loan bond, an inter- est bearing zold bond, a readily conver- tible bond, a first mortgage on the United States, and to pay for it out of his additional savings.

HOME GARDENS Popeorn. ‘“Let me suggest that every one who creates or cultivates a garden helps, and greatly, to solve the problem of the feeding of. the nations.’—Presi- dent Wilson. Popcorn growing can be made a pro- fitable fad for the home gardener, eays today’s bulletin from the Nation- al Emergency Food Garden Commis- sion, of Washington.Children take to popcorn culture. If they can be in- duced to plant popcorn this years as a business, panning to market their crop after popping it next winter; they can show a 500d cash profit from a small plot of garden ground. A garden space forty feet long and twenty feet wide will produce enough popcorn to sell for $30 in 5-cent pack- ages after it is popped. Popcorn is more than a confectlon—it is a valu- able food, better than numerous kinds of breakfast food. About the time the oak trees begin to show leaves is the time to plant pop-corn. Rice corn, with uneven kernels is probably the best meneral purpose popcorn. Warm well-drained soil, spaded 8 inches or more deep, and we'l tilled on the surface is b for popcorn. Do not plant teo thick- Iy, eight or ten inches apart in the row being close enough for the stalke If the soil is a little moist the will sprout sooner. Cever them about an inch deep. After that give fre- quent weedinz and cuitivation. The curing of harvested popcorn is important. If too m. or too dry the kernels will not pop well. is well not to gather the ears unti! the husks are white and the sta'ks are beginning to dry. Then husk from the standing sta and spread out the ears for curing in a well-ventiiated. but not heated place. If properly cured popeorn zathered in the fail will pop well by Christma: STORIES OF THE WAR Dashing Acts of Heroism.
