When it comes to the matter of highway improvement every section of the state is bound to be interested in whatever will contribute to the gen- eral betterment of the roads whether it happens to be benefited or not. Nat- urally each section looks for its share and should receive it in order to give all a fair return for their money, and in additién to the other work which is going en in this end of the state there will be loca! interest in the announcement which has been made to the effect that Hizhway Com. missioner Bennett has made his rec- ommendation to Washington in be- half of the construction of a post road from Groton to the naval station a few miles above. Such a road would be built with government and state money. It would provide a modern highway to government property even though that has to do entirely with naval matters, but at the same time it would furnish an improvement in a section where it is much needed But while the effort is being made to secure this new stretch of road, the need of continuing it alcng the east bank of the Thames from the na- val station north through the towns of Ledvard and Preston to a point where it wiil join the highway leading from this eity to the state hospital for the insane ought not to be overlook- ed. There has been for some time an excellent road down the west side .of the river, but the east side has been sntirely neglected. Some stretches of that road havs been in deplorable shape and much travel which would ordi- narily gzo that way is diverted in other directions. The towns through which =uch a road would pass are entitled to its benefits as well as the communities which lie at either end. The distance is short and the expense could not be excessive and while the south .end of it is under consideration is time that an effort was made to have the whole stretch improved by making one iob of it. SUPPRESS THE I. W. W. Not only in the states where they are concentrating their activities, but throughout the whole nation are the sfforts of the Industrial Workers cf World arousing diszust and in- tignation. This organization is now ousy in the far west, where it may nave been able to zain some sympa- :hy among the laboring class, but it is n a section of the country where it s possible to cause much embarrass- ment to the entire nation. Ostensi- 5iy the leaders of this orsanization ire concerned with the betterment of he laborer. They have many peculiar deas as to how this should be ob- ‘ained and as to the methods which hey consider just in order to carry ‘heir point, but it cannot help being -ealized that there is grave danger in ‘heir work. Thie is a time in the country's his- ory when the people of the country should be given falr treatment, but it s also a time when there should be 1o agitators abroad advocating strikes w!d the tving up of the industries of he country. Nothing can be more tetrimental to the welfare of the na- fon than the closing of the mines, he shutting down of the sawmills and he cailing off of the farm labor.

LIGHT LAW MUST BE OBEVYED. Drivers of automobiles as wwell as others who use the streets and high- ways canmot fall to have noted the marked improvement which has been brought about as the result of the new automobile law which went into effect the first of this month. Daz- zling headlights were to be encoun- tered on the great majority of the cars up to that time and danzerous iadeed was the effect of such brilliant rays upon the person driving a car or walking in the opposite direction. It required some time to get a legis- lature to take action upon this matt but the last session was apparentiy convinced of the necess of over- coming this menace and the result is that so far as placing a 'aw upon the statute books the proper duty has been performed. In general there has also been compliance with the law. For the most part it is welcomed by the auto drivers themselves and they are dis- playing a readiness to abide by it, but there are those who are determined to take chances in regard to this as well as to their general conduct in handiing a car and obeving regula- tiens. It is such drivers who make the enforcement of laws and traffic regulations necessary but the only thing to do is to make it plain,to them at the start that the law was made to be observed and that all and not a few are included thereunder. The state automobile department hae miven warning to the cffect that all these who have not equipped their cars with the approved lenses are lia- arrest and that inspectors are >d to see that the provisions e lived up to. There is e for those who have * to properly trim their lights © they are brought into court a fined there will be no one to Llame but themselves. The law was needed and its enforcement is equaily important. DALLIED TOO LONG. It does not seem as if congress ougzht to require any further facts reiative to tha need of food control in this country, such as is aimed at in the legislation which is now hefore it, but if it does it will do well to zive careful attention to the statement re- cently furnished to the president by Herbert C. Hoover, who has made a comprehensive report on the existing uation. The fact that there is not a pros- pect that there will be a Short crop of mrain this year makes it apparent that there is as great need of regulation and control as there would have been had it failed to come up to expecta- tions. Different ones are affected be- cause the situation is as it is but it is a case where all need protection and legislaticn should be adopted which will provide it The fact that there will be a larze supply of wheat, that much of it will be required abroad, and that owing to transportation conditions it will move more slowly than it has in the past when there was perfect freedom. should mean that the consumers here have no cause to worry, but this very situation is serious for the growers. They must carry their supply untll it can be moved and this burden gives the spec- ulator just the chance that he wants. The speculator in fact is ready to zet in his work whether it is the con- sumer or the producer who is affected. If he can reap a benefit from both, so much the better, but that is just where the need of proper regulation by the government should do its work. There is necd for insuring the producer a proper return for his cfforts and there is need of safezuarding the position of the consumer. This can and will be done through the food control legisla- tion which is so greatly needed and the sooner congress comes to this re- alization. gets down to business and passes the law the quicker the un- certainty regarding it will be over- come.

Since the beginning of the war to the end of May our troops on the western front captured 76,067 prisoners: to which at least 8,000 must be added for the present month’s fighting. nce July 1, 19186, we have taken 10,900 prisoners in Me- sopotamia, and 132 guns since the be- ginning of the war.

The Prussian Conservative leader, Herr von Heydebrand, is being much ticized on all sides—by the Frank- furter Zeitung as well as by Count Reventlok—for a speech in which he prophesies that it will not be neces- sary for Germany to continue the war into next winter. He said: We see in the west how the Eng- lish the renewing their terrible at- tacks. 1 believe that this is really their last effort, and that they are compelled to make it hecausc their country is cryving: “You must help us, or we shall starve.” I had occasion recently to speak to an admiral, and 1 asked him whether he really be- lieves that we shall succeed with our submarine war. He answered: “We hope, and indeed we are convinced, that in two months at longest the con- dition of the ¥nglish will be such that England will have reached the end. We can, therefore, meet all doubters and pessimists with the statement that eur authorities, who know, are confident that we shall be victorious, and that all that is necessary ™ for us at home to hold out. Count Reventlow savs that it is quite fmpossible to tell how long the war will last. The Berlin correspond- ent of the Frankfurter Zeitung says that Herr von Heydebrand has never =hown judgment in foreizn affairs, and proceeds: To prophesy abonut the date of the end of the war and of our victorious peace is a risky thing, and such pro- phecies are oided . by respon<idle men, who possess the necessary data for judging such guestions in quite different measure than does the con- servative leader, even If he has talk- cd to an admiral. It is a great mis- take to think that such well-meant prophecies strengthen our ability to hold out, and that they are necessary for this purpose. They are not. Every olitical thinker at home and in the 1d knows why and to what end we are fighting. ’ It will be remembered that the kai- ser recently delivered a characteristic speech to the First Prussian Guard Division. which is commanded bv his second son, Prince Eitel Friedrich. So little has been heard of this Hohen- zoliern that his reply is not without interest. After referring to various engagements in which his troops have taken part, Prince Eitel Friedrich said: Many a gap has been made in our 1anks, and many a brave comrade has coloured red with his heart's blood the fresh spring green of the Chemin des Dames. Like the Grenadiers of our forefathers. the Grenadiers of Frederick the Great, the brave officers, non-commissioned officers, and men have exposed their breasts to the ene- my in bloody hand-to-hand fighting, and by their moral superiority and physical strength have broken the storming masses. - Young blood from Germany has flowed into our ranks. hastening %o us full of love of the Fatherland and iove for the king.

LETTERS TO IHE EDITOR A United Country Righteous Cause. Mr. Editor: Are there some still who bemoan the fact that our country did not enter the world war sooner? It is well anyhow to remember that when the United States did declare war it had no other alternative—ex- cept dishonor. It was either war to defend our undisputed rights or sub- mission to the decree that interna- tional ‘aw, designed to make war less inhuman and protect neutrals in some measure, is no law when Germany's interests are at stake. international law has required many hundreds of years for its growth and all civilized nations of our day, including Ger- many, have proudly deciared tnefr adherence to it. But so far as Ger- many is concerned it proves to be a .ay only for the other fellow—simply a piece of paper as against her. Such a policy or practice is a fraud, and a pretense of maintaining it is hypoc- risy. As there is no general authority for enforcing this humane law in the interest of humanity and peace-abid- ing nations, each nation must defend its own house or it ill be broken up. The limit was reached when the Lusitania went down. Our country has not only every moral and humani- tarian issue_on its side, but it entered the war only after extreme provoca- tion, deliberate and without apology. As Wison has well said, they would not allow us to remain neutral as we proposed and desired. It is well to| remember that Lincoin s vocifer- ously and bitterly denounced for not eariier emancipating slaves. He waited until he was fuly assured in his own mind that otherwise the union could not be saved. In the meantime, pubiic opinion became unified and ap- plauded emancipation when it was at length decreed. War having now been indeed d clared, whether it should bave been undertaken earlier, we need not dis- cuss. Fortunatelv. a live and spirited public opinion, remarkabe for its unanimity, sanctions the war. Is it not true that the people throughout our land from ocean to ocean are de- sirous to know what is desired of them and are ready at once fo take up the task” To fa in eupporting our nation at this perilous e in prosecuting its gigantic undertaking is treason. As at the time of the Civil war, so now the permanence and efficiency of Tovernment by the people is at stake. | then the danger was from internal foes. now from external. Let us set our hearts unflinchingly to the work of making right triumphant, however long may be the strife and whatever sacrifices even unto death may be re- quired. With Lineo'n, let us say tha we have undertaken this war for a hold out to the last man, until our arms have won vietory and peace such s the Fatherland needs. and until, with heads high and with our shield of honour unblemished, we return home and are able to report at the craves of our fathers and grandfath- ers: “We have protocted the father- land. and maintained for it the place in the sun which is its due.” Mathematical problems do not often trouble the tribunals. but a provin- cial board had one to solve a day or two ago. This old farmer was told that out of his three sons one must be released. the iribunal suggesting that the one who was of the least value on the farm should be taken. The ques- tion had never appealed to ihe farm- er in this light, and to the best of his knowledge all were equally hard work- ers. Some Httle questioning, howéver, elicited the fact that while ploughing 2 field last autumn he had noticed that John and Charles did an acre in six hours, Charles and William in eight hours, and William and John an acre in ten hours. Obvidusly. Wi'liam was the lazy boy of the family, but to at extent few of the memters could discover. On the face of it, the prob- lem seems easy, but it would puz- zle many readers to ascertain the com- parative speeds at which the three men worked. The problem of the farmer and his three sons, Charles, John. and W¥I- iam, one of whom was to be taken for the army, set many pencils going in calculating_which son could be best spared. Their powers as ploughmen were in_the fo'lowing ratio: Charles 33, John 17, William 7. In other words, Charles could' plough an acre In 10 10- 23 hours, John in 14 2-17 hours, and the dilatory William in 24 3-2 hours.
