Flag day gave the president another opportunity to set forth the course which this natien is pursuing in the war and he rose to the. occasion in a masterly address at the national cap- ital and in setting forth the reasons why the United Statés entered the great world conflict, after so long maintaining its neutrality, he prop- eyly inquired “What great mation in ch circumstances wolild not have taken up arms?” The United States did its utmost to follow the middle of the road. It re- p AU R and seemi - invine world_which is ‘more than half the world’s woe. Indiffer- ence and neutrality are twin brothers whose business it is to destroy bood. To be negative to Qdirection is to be wrong; megative to duty is to be a a sneak or a renegade. x for neither side when the worl men as it does today comes near to assuming to be nobody. indifferent world will not endorse this, ] ize it; but there is no escape. a man’s interests are all involved, as well as_his ts and privileges, he cannot be bl to conditions, althaugh he neglects tc da his part to better them. We agree with Felham at this point: “That negligence is the rust of frained from taking sides just as long|the soui, that corodes through all her as it was possible to do $o, and in|best reselves.” opinion of many it waited too long |and honor shouls.prompt every oue of the befcre making the proper preparations | which would have brought greater re- spect for its rights, but therc came a time when it could no longer disre- gard the lacik of respect for its rights, the utter disregard for international jaws and the horrible manner In which humanity was being treated. As a self respecting nation snd one which had regard for jts honor among other nations it was forced te. show its re- sentment. Germany had gotten to the point where it could no longer dis- suise its real -purpose in’the war and unless this matlon stood “up for its principles, took its place in the fight ana did its part to crash such mili- tarism as Germany has stocd for and inues to insist upon with the ob- the world leader. It th German domina- of becominz confronted l I rmany was not satisfied with con= fining its methods to the enemy na- tions in Europe but it extended them to the neutrals on all continents. It told the world that it must agccept its dictation or fight and this country chose the alternative as the fessér of the two evils. And the world s at war today because .of the .unwilling- ness to submit to Germany's scheme } for mastery. For that reason there.can be no we- ceptance of the German plan for peace at this stage. Such Is but a scheme to obtain a breathing spell that Germany enew its efforts under more fa- able conditions. The time to free the world from such a power is now and it is the duty of every nation which know and loves liberty and demands respect for its rights to pros- ecute the war to a_successful conclu- sion. SUSPEND THE LITERACY TEST. Although many of the arguments were advanced at the time the lezis- lation was before congress and th failed to make the expected impres- 1 upon the members of that body, much so that the measure was ver the veto of the president regard fof the former ck of approval on the part of the present chief executives, as well as those who preceded him, it is not sur- prising that a move is being made throughout -the country for the.pur- pose of suspending the operation of the literacy test in the new immigra- tion act wkich has recently gone into effect. The labor question has been one of serious proportions in this country_ for some little time. It has been mani- festly increased by the added demands h have been made of this nation as the result of the war, and this lit- eracy test is serving to prevent the coming to this country of men who can relleve the situation materially. They may not be able to read and write, but they are able bodied and respectable. They would unquestion- ably in time make batter citizens than some who could pass the requirements of the legislation which it is desired to suspend., or some who are already in this country for the benefits they can get and the service which they can render not to this eountry but to the country of their birth. It is probable that the detrimental effects and the handicaps which have been placed upon the country by this provision of.the immigration law have not been sufficiently disclosed through its operation in the brief time that it has been in operation .to bring about a repeal of the section at this time, but with the abnormal scarcity of la- bor in almost every line of work it is apparent that congress could suspend the operation of this provision for the duration of the war and bring about much benefit to the country. ere is going to be no flood of immigration be, but we should get the benefit of those who can and will Come and who can pass the requirements sxcept for the literacy tost. EDITORIAL NOTES. The man on the corner says: The patter of the rdin on the roof would bring greater appreciation if we wers experiencing a dry season. Now that King Constantine has been relieved of his customary duties it is possible that he will follow the example of the czar and go to hoeing potatoes. With the kaiser greatly chagrined at the abdication of his brother in law, it is possible that he is doing a little figurivg as to who will be the third monarch to be shelved. The claim has been frequently put forward that the people of this coun- tr; ar, if con- but it would appear as Tbe country ealls us ‘us to do our bir. Most people do mot belicve it is pos- sible for a person to maks themselves over; hence they &» Dot try. It s 8¢ easy for a person to be different as it is fo do different; ard. that depends sholly upon whether he is master of his will, or his_will is master of him, Confirmed habits make us what we are—new habits make 'us different; hence putting out an old hrabit and substituting it with something better represents the process of making our- selves fit, instead of continuing as mis- fits. You cannot be made different in the twinkling of an eve, except with a gum. Good results are seidom in- stantancous, and it takes _time to model one's self upon them. Every- thing that is_worth acquiring _ costs effort. Of course, any fool can sldec down a mountain, but it takes a man to climb to its peak. Thousands of people have made themselves over, but not onc ever did it by believing he couldn’t, for zchiovement requires one should become conscious of the power to do it. Power for good increases with action. and weakness follows ev- ery failure to strive with faith and res- olution. The world seems to be getting short of about everything but money. It is getting short of men, short of food, short ot metal and short of common sense, which. by the way, never is abundant. It is getting short of tin cans, and_the demand for them lis greater than ever. It requires 720,- 000,000 cans to meet the requirements of 'this nation for sweet corn, peas and tomatoes, and this doesn't repre. sent one-half the total needed to take in the meats, fish and fruit. In view of this scarcity baked beans, sauer- kraut, soaked peas, hominy, spaghetti and soaked lima beans, which can be carried dry, will not be canned this vear. It isn’t any wonder the produc- tion of 150,000,000 cans resuls in_an old can nuisance in all the towns and cities of the world; and around the Pyramids of Egypt. It is said there is no place on earth where old tin cans are undiscoverable, as they line the trails of explorers through the forests of Brazil and the path of caravans across the Great Sahara desert. And if canned fruit had mot -been found among the ruins of Pompei, the mod- ern canning industry would never have been known. There is no doubt our registrative and selective system of making an army may be juster to all concerned than the old and now scouted volum- teer system which gave the slackers such a clear way to dodge military duty; but there was nothing ancient or old-fashioned ~about the good cheer and enthusiasm which marked the stem. The man who wants to be in the strife will always be superior to the man who doesn't want to be; and the man who yearns to do and dare will make a majority, doubtless, of those solicited under the present sys- tem, for they will resort to svery method to get by, while the “don’t- want-to's” may be depended upon to do things which may queer their physical efficiency. The boys-of '62 were frail looking chaps when they went to camp, but they held the ememy in check until he was worn out and starv- ed out; and as veterans of the Grand Army they figured in peaceful citizen- Ship as a power for good in all the walks of life—figured as no other vet- erans ever figured in - the annals- of time. This world war has ceased to be a question of the achievement of arms, since at last it has resolved itself into a simple question of sustenance. This is the reason the strong appeals now being made are fully as urgent to the man behind the man who is back of the gun, as to this iant defender of the flag. Man-power !s recognized at last as depending more: upon meat than money, although cannot get along with cither. Half the able- bodied men of the earth epgaged n Slanghter and the destructon of prop- erty for uearly three have brought all the nat *he verge of famine. America, North and South, is flow the one great source of provender, and without our crops our men would be more of a burden than_a help to the warring nations. An Bnglish stateman says: “It has be- ¢ome a question now which side is go- ing to stick it out! We are!” With food and fuel to keep up the man- power and machine-power the Entene But the end of the struggle is not vet in sight! You have doubtless read the lines— the cheap jingie—attributted to Moth- #r Shipton, a_1l4th century sorceress, who apparentily foresaw the progress of man in peace and war, not éven failing to cover the submarine boat, the motor carriage and the aeroplanes of the Twentieth century. Now this mother Shipton was not half as won- derful as the woman of Endor, and would not have been &o persistently before the people, had she not been glorified in her black art by an Amer- ican llar who was not even am able rhymester. Mother Shipton’s records are in the British Museum among the curiosities, and American publishers, who exploit evervthing, sent agents to London to work up a good story do not realize that we are at{upon Mother Shipton, and it proved to be a profitless pursuit and expense, gress was suffering from the samc|for there was nothing in them equal trouble also. BEveryone who has subscribed to the Liberty loan can feel that he has had a hand in the patriotic service bringing about the handsome over- subscription, and the administering of another shock to the Kkaiser. The Boy Scouts have rendered ex- cellent service in Norwich to the predictions of Brother Johannes of 1600 who predicated the present world war. The wonderful' rhymes at- tributed to her are not to be found among her records, but are a modérn of | fabrication not yet 50 years oM. “The war has carried us to the depths,” Gen.

Tnder the direction of this commit- tee several volunteer companifes were instead of truth and justice. There can be no permanent peace in this world -so long as the majority of men are made to feel the pinch of oppres- sion. The man in the breach, the man ignored most of the time, is the per- former of herculean tasks and he ehould be consulted more concerning matters of life and death to him. There was a time not so very jong ago when a medium. priced watch coud zain time enough in six months to pay for itself, and now one may buy¥ a watch for 89 cents which can- not lose time encugh 1o pay for it- self in a year. It is not so long ago that the speed of the road was eight miles an hour, and now it is 25 miles an bour; and this used to be the top- ‘speed for steamships and passenger cars, which now_make from 40 to €0 miles an hour. Man today is making a epeed of 15 miles an hour under watér and 150 miles an hour in the alr, which compares with the most rapid flight of birds, but is not so well sustained. With a machine-gun he can fire 18,000 shots in an hour apd the Frerch batteries at Verdun used a million shells in less than three days. These are daya when the first vear’'s needs for war are stated in twice as many illiona as the Civil war of three years cost. And there are people so umconscious of these facts that they do not believe the world moves! Sunday Morning Talk SAFETY LAST. All good maxims can be abused, and the one posted so -conspicuousfy in public places in recent vears is no cxception. The need for caution must continua’ly be dinned into the thought of our reckless generation. To take needless chances of any sort is akin to crime. Yet the familiar maxim does not sound the whole of humiun duty. If all men everywhere mut “safety first,” many of the finest im- pulses and actions of- life would be eliminated. There are occasions when, for worthy lives, safety is to be reck- oned not the first but the last consid- eration. To strive harder for personal avoid- ance of danger than for the success of a good cause is to fall below the hero level. The men who run our trains and piot our ships, who mine our coal ana smelt our iron etc., are right- Iy pledged to as safe practices as may bé, but it cannot be said tha tthey put safety first. If so, they would be at home in’ rocking chairs or €1e piazza, or toasting their toes by the fire. The element of danger enters into every red blooded occupatio: Safety first, if carried to i% jogical conclusion, would condemn nearly all the heroisms of all time. The saints and martyrs and benefactors have never put safety first. They have put duty first. If duty has called them into pathe of danger, they have not hesitated to take the risk. Like Ad- miral Farragut in Mobile Bay, whose terse remark about torpedoes has be- come an American tradition, they have ignored perils when the thing must be done. 1t is by men and women who have not counted their lives dear unto themselves, in view of some cause to be established or some great end to be gained, that all our blessings have come' to pass. A great host of out young country- men must scon be summoned to abandon tne well ordered pursuits of peace and to pitage into the most dan- gerous form of work the world kngws. Tt were a sad outlook for us all shouki they prove unwilling to go. War has not been a shetered and innocuous businees in any age, and under mod- e conditions it is a consummate hor- ror. - No soldier is safe, or expects to be.” Any minute he may be called to the supreme sacrifice. It is the ele- ment of heroism that we honor in the soldier’s profession. A nation wholly committeed to the “safety first” principle is alredy dying at the core. it is capable of mo glor- jous deeds nor sublime sacrifices. Conserving its own resources, look- ing out for itself, it grows stale and barren, ke the Dead Sea that takes in, but never gives anything out. It loses its life by trying to save it T#= parable of the talenty is a wholesome gospel for anyone wio has posted a big “sdfety first” sign over the door of his house of life. buried his talent in the earth because he was afraid of the market. His mas- ter ordered the talent taken from him and given to the man who had shawn himeelf_willing to g0 ahead and in- vest. There is a risk in everytahs: in investing money, in planting pota- toes, in walking downtown to business tomorrow morning. But the heaviest risk of all is in standing stlll and marking time. Nothing worth while ever resulted from that coune. When the Apostle Peter would turn our Lord back from Jerusalem where persecution and death awaited him, he was reminded that there are occa. sions when 4 man is to put sbif in- terest entirely out of sight. behind me; thou art an offense unto me; for thou mindest not the things of God.” The heroic soul must learn to say with Paul: “I hold not my life dear unto myseif, in comparison of ac- complishing my course. For men, intitutions, or natlons the pathway to honor may a_eublime disregard of all pruZential constfera- tions. “‘Safety first” is a slogan on the level of many a man’s need, but-let it never be forgotten that the spirit of real heroes is pitched to a higher key: Such as these have been willing to put safety last. They have dared to take risks for righteousness’ sake. THE PARSON. hours, or a little | A man ! i i for possible spector and paymaster of equipped emergencies.

In his narration of his trilling experiences he said: _“There were some forty-five of us Norwich boys, who fought at Lundy’s Lane. Some of them laid down their lives on that bloody fleid, and all fought -with courageous gal- lantry. We brought off our fi\g, though it was- shot from the staff, and ridle with thirty or forty bullet holes.” Mr. Manning's father, Diah Manning, was in the war of the Revolution and one of Washington's body-guards. With reference to the tragic death of Capt. Joseph Kinney, the following inscription appears on the family monument- in Norwich: Joseph, son of Newcomb and Sally Kinney, entered the U. S. Army as Lieutenant at ‘the commencement of the War with Great Britain in 1812, was engaged in several severe skir- mishes, besides six sanguinary battles, the iast of which was at Lundy’s Lane, Bridgewater, July 25th, 1814, where he was killed commanding the 2nd_di- vision of the 2lth Regiment, of U. 8. Infantry, in the 27th year of his age. Buried in Buffalo, N. Y What a significant story this epitaph tells, durinz the present days of brave recriuts and luke-warm slackers! At the time ofthis war, the flag- ship of the blocading squadron at New London was the Ramillies, on board of which was an_impressed American seaman, John Carpenter, of Norwich. His father, an aged and respected cft- izen, on learining of that fact, pro- vided himself “with suitable vouchers, went off to the sqvadron with a flag of truce, and applied for his son’s re- lease. To the credit of Commodore Hardy let it be told, after hearing the cir- cumstances and patient'y inquring into the case he freely gave the Amer- ican seaman his discharge, and not only this, but provided certificates to show that he had served faithfully fb more ‘than five years, hence was en- titled to-$300 wages and $2,000 prize money. The eider Carpenter met his son, whom he had not seen for more than eight years, on the deck of the Ramil- lies and, after a jovful reuwmdn they came home to’ Norwich. Like a Jules Verne adventure was the story of Capt.*Asa_Homer, of Nor- wich, who had been five years sepa- rated from his' family, engaged in trade on' the coast of South America. He was returning home in 1812, a pas- senger in a merchant vessel, and was within 14 miles of the coast, when an English man-of-war came in sight and the vessel was taken as a prize. Captain Hosmer was long detaimed with the blockading fleet, hovering ‘day after day and month after month within tantalizing sigst of his native coast, before he was reieased. But this did not end his adventurs. Enterprising. mariner and trader- that he was, he was later a prisoner for three years and nine months in a Spanisk dungeon at Havana. He returned home from this exile July 23rd, and immediately re- sumed his maritime pursuits, b died on.the coast.of Honduras, in 1824~ It is to be doubted if any other town of the size of Norwich has a more in- spiring or more varied record of brav- ery in war service whenever the country has needed defence. Certainly, the men of the old town showed the true epirit of patriotism during (e War of 1812, and while. that war ~was _ exceedingly unpopular throughout this state as throughout all of New England, and very few . rec- ords have been kept of events of that period, nevertheless, all that histo: ha$ written proves that the citize more than did their part, up to the time peace-was declared and Admiral Hotham's blockading squadron, Which had long. been keeping waich -at -the mouth of the river, put. to sea, Mareh 11th, 1815. 5 THE DICTAGRAPH.
