GIVE THEM A ROUSING SEND OFF As has been previously said, thé ef- fort which is béing made to give the iocal companies of tihe Coast Artil- lery corps a rousing send off on the day of their departure for the Sound fortifications ought to receive the en- thusiastic support of the entire com- munity. The members of these two companies rapresent all seetions of the town and in some insta; joining towns. They - r render such service as the country ealis upon them for. They go with the knowledge hat they may be call- ed up for defensive or offensive a tion, that they may rema side of the Atiantic or that they may ®e sent to France along with other units of the American army. But erever they go, or whatever their ultimate destination they go as the defenders of the rights and principles of this republic and there is eve reason to believe that they will give 2 _good account of themselves. These organizations have been ready at call throughout the davs of peace to do their part in moeting any emer- gency that might a T are likewise ready now. with their num- bers doubled, to fight for their coun- try even though such service is need- ed on foreizn soil, and it is no more than proper thay the people of Nor- wich and vicinity should do their part in starting them on their jo ney. It is time for them to demonstrate their confidence In their ability, their ap- preciation of their sacrifice, their ap- proval of their patriotic i and their faith in the courage and convic- tions of the voung men who have long been prepared and are ready tuday to answer duty’'s cal but a little thing which the peopie are called upon to do for them comparison with what they are about to do for the naticw but how ever deeply their fellow citizens may appreciate their sacrifice it is proper that there shouid ba a fitting demon- stration thereof. Give the boys a rousing send off and let them know that all are interested in their mission and the successful accomplishment of the task which they are to undertake. There will be of course other oppor- tunities and ways for letting this be knewn but the present opportunity should by no means be neglected. Don't by any means let it be a half- hearted demonstration of loyaity on the part of those left behind. THE NEW CHANCELLOR. The much looked for address from Chancellor Michaelis has been deliv- sred and it is impossible to discover where it shows any marked differ- *nce from what might have been said by his predecessor on such an occa- sion. The new chancellor doesn’t commit himseif or the imperial gov- ernment to any radical reforms, it does not show that it is for peace ex- cept such a one as would result with Germany the victor and in its refer- ence to the valuable service of the ex-chancellor it igives very little comfort to those who were in- strumental in bringing about the re- moval of Bethmann Hollweg. Chancellor Michaelis demonstrates most conclusively in his naddress, when he says: “I am not willing to permit the conduct of affairs to be taken out of my hands,” that regard- less of the change in the franchise, o breaking down of the military power /in that country, that the civilians are not going te have anything more to say about it in the future than they have in the past, and that of course means nothing. As fo peace offers, the new chan- cellor offers nothing definite, and in that he has chosen to follow in the path of Bethmann Hollweg. As to in- ternal pelicies he was not willing to commit himself, which of course in- dicates that he doesn’t disclose his ideas because he has mot had time to confer with the kaiser and other war lords and perfect them. It shows in other words that he intends to keep the conduct of affairs in his own hands but that is only saying that, what the katser requires must be done. > . Because a change has been made in the man who serves as chanceilor it does not mean that Germany has put any new policy into effect. Mi- chaelis is as much a mouthpiece of | the kaiser as was Bethmann Hollweg and it will be surprising if those who clamored for a change will look upon the change in any other Hght. AMBASSADOR TO JAPAN. Just at this time the selection of an ambassador to represent this country among any of the natfons engaged in the war, or in fact the sending of any diplomat to a post amone any of the leading nations of the world, is a matter of great importance. For that reason the naming of Roland C. Mor- ris as ambassador to Japan canmot fail to elicit more than erdinary at- tention, for in view of the relations which have existed between the two countries and the necessity of prop- erly handling those relations there is need of selecting the best man avail- able and not simply one who is a deserving politician. It is claimed for Mr. Morris that he is a man of education, possessing high business ability and prominent social- 1y, all of which may be important in considering the qualification of a man for such a post, but it is a noticeable fact nevertheless that no mention is made to the effect that he has had any training in diplomatic affairs or that he has even had any experience in that direction. It is saidthat he has taken a prominent part in the political airs of his state of Pennsylvania. that he has steod for reforms and that he is but there an indefatizable worker, is nothing to indicate that he has made any studv of the situation in the far east, that he is even acquaint- ed with the questions existing be- tween this couniry and Japan or that the gualifications which resulted in his selection are such as to make him the best man in the country for the position to which he has been nomi- nated. Rather are there reasons for believ- ing that he ha® been named because of his political activity and because it was believed to be the proper time to pay a political debt, instead of be- ing named upon merit for one of the most important posts in the diplo- matic service of the countr GIVE US THE SHIPS. After o contest over the point as to where the authority really lies be- tween Genmeral Goethals and Chair- man Denman of the shipping board, resulting as it has in the needless de ‘avs of weeks in getiing the ship building prosramme properly under wa. it is not surprising that two members of the board have sent in their resignations because they de- plore not only the spectacle that is Dbeinz caused by the manner in which such a situation has been allowed to overshadow the ali important ques- tion of producing a fleet of ships to ace, but the fact that such a delay is tolerated. President Wilson has seen the ad- visability of taking a hand in the mat- ter and General Goethals has furnish- ed to the board his plan of operations in order to hasten the time when work could be motten underway. but as has been pointed out, the chair- man has been in the possession of this information for a week and as ve: it has neither been approved nor dis- approved. Delay through this quarrel over au- thority has characterized the hoard's actions almost from the start, and delay is the one thing which ouzht to have been overcome. What is nead- ed is the speedy construction of v sels. Today in spite of the activity in the shipbuilding yards on both sides of the Atiantic the new tonnage which is being turned out is insuffi- cient to offset the number of ships that is being sent to the ottom, and the quicker this can be reversed the quicker the most powerful instrument in the hands of the enemy will be checked and the end of the war will be hastened. It is time therefore that the presi- dent took hold of this matter and set- tled the controversy once add for all. General Goethals was named for his work because of his ability. Chair- man Denman was a political appointee and under such conditions there can be little question as to what the chief executive should do to spred up the construction of ships.

The man on the corner says: No one will ever dare to complain that there is too much shortening in the food bill legislation. It is a decidedly anxious time for the home gardener while he is en- deavoring to determine whether his beans are going to pole or string. It is education under difficulties when schools in France are held in caves and all members wear gas masks, but education must be had in spite of the Germans. If. it is the purpose of Field Mar- shal Hindenburg to break down the aliies lines before the assistance from the United States is received, he hasn't made much progress thus far. The attempt that was made upon the life of the war minister of Rus- sia makes it certain that that country has not as vet been freed from those who are commlitted to such acts of violence. The determination of the suffragists to continue their activity in Washing- ton regardless of the act of the pres- offered previous to his appointment and which he endorses, that the pow- er of the kaiser manifested through him cannot be altered.

Now drving has become a “lost art,” but the prés- ent emergency will stimulate this method of food comservation. In this year of great food production, it is cssential that some means be taken for the prevemtion of waste during the time of over supply Advantages of drying are mest ap- parent to the housewife who has not root cellar or other place in which to store fresh vegetables and friits. When the markets are averstockad, she can lay in a supply, dry it and store it away for the win without its taking up much space. If she is | accustomed to canning her vegetables ' and fruit and is unable to obtain jars or cans. she can easily re ort to dry- ing. Mamy time there will be quan- tities of food left over which are too small for convenient canning. A few peas, a carrot or turnip may be dried at time and a quantity sufficient for a meal will soen be dried and com- bined for soups and stews. A strong peint in drying is the ease with which it may be done. Nearly all kinds of fruits and vegetables may be dried at small cost by 'means of the ordinary home utensils. The food to be dried may be placed on dishes i nthe oven, with the oven door par- tially open, or on the back of the stove waile the oven is being used for cooking. It may also be dome on sheets of muslin or paper In the sun. There are three methods which give very satisfactory resuits for home Drying: Sun Drving, Dryinz by Arti- ficial Heat, Drying by Air Blast (Elec- tric Fan.)' These methods may be combined advantageously. All material should be washed and prepared carefully. After cleaning. the material shoud be bianched and cold-dipped as for canninz and then rezular drying process carried on. To be dried quickly, most fruits and vegetables should be shredded or cut into slices because large pieces will dry on the outside. forming a skin preventing escape of moisture. Another precaytion to be taken, es- recially in artificlal drying, is to start with a_ gentle heat and raise slowly to a higher temperature after the whole material has begun to wither.

Name THE WAR PRIMER B8y National Geograrhic Society. Pinsk—The important district town of Pinsk, with a population of 37,000 before the outbreak of the European war, nearly two-thirds of whom are Jews, is described today in a war geogra bulletin issued by the Na- tional Geographic Society following the news that the city has been set cn fire by the Russians in their ef- fort to drive out the Germans who captured it two years ago. “In the midst of the great swamys through which t he Pripet River sweeps toward the Dnieper, Pinsk was 2n important industrial center at the its fac- tories for the manufacture of Russian leather being famous, while its out- put of oils, soaps, beer, pottery, lum- ber and matches was considerable. “Contrary to the usual trend of pro- gress, railroads have caused Pinsk's commerce to decline, for when the stee] arteries of trade began to thread the Poliessie (‘forest land’) district of the province of Minsk they diverted much of the water-borne traffic which tormerly passed _through this town. Pinsk was an exchange point for trade with Germany and Poland via the Dnieper-Buz Canal, with the fertile Dnieper valley via the Pripet River, #nd with the Baltic provinces and the Niemen River valley via the Oginskiy Canal. “Since 1872 the Russian government fas been more or less active in re- claiming much of the swamp land which surrounds Pinsk and it was estimated that 20 vears ago fully £.000,000 acres had been drained at a cost of not more than three shillings to the acre. This drained Jand in- creased in value from four rubles to rubles per dessyatin (equivalent to 7 acres). : “Pinsk is situated on the Fina River, a tributary of the Pripet, and is 105 miles by rail east of Brest-Litovsk. Minsk, .the capital of the province or ‘government’ of Minsk, is 196 miles to the northeast, by rail. “Pinsk first figured in the chroni- cles of medieval Europe at the epd of the 1ith century when it was a' pos- ssion of a Prince of Kiev. In the following century it was annexed to the principality of Minsk -and after the Mongol invasion of 1232 it became the chief town of its own principali- ty. “The present war is not the firet oc- casion when Pinsk has been ravaged by fire and sword. During the ter- rible uprising of the Cossacks under Bogdan Chmielnicki, instigator of the indescribably horrible ‘serfs’ fury’ it wag captured by the Poles and 14,000 of its people were put to the sword and the torch aplied to 5.000 houses. Less than a decade later (1848) it was burned by the Russians, just as in the present catastrophe. Then came Charles XII. 53 years later and re- duced both the town and its suburbs to_ashes, for the third time. !_;fiPl;nsk became a Russian town in OTHER VIEW POINTS It is proper precaution that the commissioner of domestic antanls is taking in warning that all dogs must be muzziled for the next three months.

STORIES OF THE WAR Nature In the Fighting Zone. The following 1= taken from a let- ter written by an officer in France: I am writing this in a dug-out where I have been for a few days. I helieve there are birds' nests on the top of this humble dwelling: anyhow, 1 often hear the birds twittering away and every morning a lark gets up just cutside and sings away merrily. The weather is beautiful and every one is fit and well, 1 remember remarking in one of my letters home how the effect of our in- tense bombardment is so tremendous that one wonders whether enything in the earth is left aliva. That was in the winter. Now that spring Is here one sees that practically everything in the old mother earth is as vig- orously alive as ever. Man's work goes to pieces, but even the most in- tense shelling ls but a mere scratch on the surface of the earth. The' hirds live their life just the same and~fleld mice and other small creatures make their hemes and play about in shell- holes.
