In view of the trouble which has Deen experienced and the failyre of the efforts which have been made to overcome it, the president has taken the proper step for the adjustment of it so far as those directly involved thereln are comcerned by accepting the resiznations of Chairman Den- man of the ehipping board and Gen- eral Goethals of the emergency fleet corpération. It cannot help being felt however, that some move of this kind should have been made at an earlier date for there is reason to believe that had Chairman Penman's resisna- tion been called for and accepted at the time when the president attempt- ed to separate his duties from those of the fleet corporation manager the controversy would have been ended and the services of General Goethals, whe has proved himself a great en- gineer and who has the confidence of the nation, would have heen assured. By the course which he has fol- lowed the president has avoided ta ing sides. He has replaced both par- ties fo the row and he has selected others for their places, who should at least be well qualified for the tasks which they are called upon to per- form, but it might be well while such changes are being made to fix the re- sponsibility which each of the new appeintees is supposed to asstme so that there can be no repetition of the trouble that has just been experienced. In other words it is time to see that there is no coanfliction in the duties which they are supposed to perform and that every faeility is afforded them to get down to a speedy under- standing of the requirements, the let- ting of contracts for materials and ships and the production of the much needed vessels. There has been too great a delay in this matter zlready. The experi- ence, however, must be used to the best advantage and every effort made to aveid similar trouble in the fu- ture for the new officials have not only get to profit by their predeces- sors’ actions but do their utmest to make up for the handicap which has been caused. MUST PROTECT OURSELVES. Sweden continues to cling to the idea that it has a right to trade with Germany, that it has a right to im- port zoods frorg this country for the purpose of maintaining that trade with Germany and that this country ls departing from its previous atti- tude zomeerning neutral trade in tak- ing the stand which it has relative to placing an embargo upon its ex- ports. In regard to the matter of trade with Germany there can be nc ques- tion but what Sweden has a perfeet right to buy German goods and to sell Germany whenever. it gets a chance. Sweden is a neutral nation and as such there ecan be no legiti- mate interference with that trade ex- cept that the allies can prevent it tfrom entering Germany through a blockade. When it comes to buving goods from the United States it must be realized that this country is now in a state of war with Germany and it is therefore not zoing to allow any of its supplies to reach the ememy .if it can prevent it. Sweden as a neutral can buy here for its own nceds but it cannot buy here for the purpose of sending such goods, or their.equiva- lent, to Germany. Whatever tsade Sweden or any neutral in with Ge must pe done in goods which it produces not those which it obtains from allied nations. When Swedén declares that this country is taking a different stand than it did when it was a neutral, it must be realized that it does not say Sweden cannot trade with Germany. But it does say that inasmuch as we are now among the helligerents Swe- den cannot depend upon this country to furnish the goods for the trade with the enemy because it is realized that Germany has been depending up- on the receipt of just such supplies for a long time and it has gotten to a point where it has got to be shut off. Swedén cannot expeoct that we are going to continue to pour soeds into that country for the sake of fur- nishing it with material for carrying on a profitable trade with Germany. _——— LEAVE IT TO ABMINISTIATOBQ\. There can be no surprise that there is a strong oppesition to that part of the food contrel bill, as passed by the senate, fixing the minimum price of wheat at $2 a bushel. That is a matter which better be left to the one, or to the three, who will be siven the authority to enforce this measure. The idea of fixing a mini- mum price in regard to that com- modity ought not to have been in- corporated into the bill any more than it should have been attempted in reszard to any other products. It can be appreciated that the set- tiing upon a price of $2 a bushel for wheat could be iooked upon as giving a stimulation to wheat growers, but that crop is already planted and there is no telling what the conditions are going to be later on. It is possible that such an amount would be. proper but there is just as much of a possi- bility that it would be altogether too high, but if it is to be attempted in regard to wheat there is reason to the claim that it should be done con- cerning cotton, corn, cattle, coal and other things. The farmers have reason to expect that they wil be dealt fairly with, and that having given their time, at- tention, land and money to meeting the requirements of the country in regard to wheat that they should get a fair price for their product, but that could be insured by placing the authority for the establishing of a fair price upon those who will be put in charge of the food measure and who will as times change have an opportunity to insist upon a price that will be fair for all. In accord- ance with the movement for the low. ering of high prices it could have heen wrged with as much reason that a maximum sale price for wheat should be fixed, but that again is a matter which can be adjusted in the same manner and is in fact ons of the duties which shouid devolve upon those who are in touch with the sit- uation and il be in charge of the food bill. \ MORE POWER FOR KERENSKY. By the action which has becn taken in conferring umlimited power upon Premier Kerensky in order that he may be able to properly handle the situation which has developed in Rus- sia, it is apparent that the provisional government in that country faces a serions situation. It is true that it has gone through some epochal events and come out victerious, but the new trouble indicates that all the troubls makers have not been eliminated, that the people are no mere frmly united than they ought to be and that a mgster hand is needed to bring about the organization of a stable govern- ment for the crushing of the revolu- tionary and anarchbistic elements and the carrving out of the principles for which the new Russia stands. Na- tional safetv has demanded this for some time but it is needed mow more than ever. b From the part which Kerensky has played in the settihg up of the new government, the arousing of the army to jts duty and the lauaching of a successful offensive, it must be recos- nized that he was the man of the hour and it was only to be expected that he would be agreed upen as the one to be named for the premiership. But with the efforts which have been put forth with some sucgess to sow dis- sension among the army, it s ev dent that he needs all the authority that has been conferred upon him, even to the making of him a dicta- tor, if he is going to be able to cope with the tricky situation. It is apparent that the Germans have relied upon the ability of their agents to foment trouble and that their army heads had fully calculated the jimportance of falling back in front of the advancing Russians that ihey might get them in a more fa- vorable pesition to strike baclk when conditions were ripe. TFhat re‘ern blow has now been struck both by the Austro-German army and through a body blow in the shape of advo- cates of dislovaity in the Russian ranks. It now rests with Keremsky to overcome this new menace and it must be appreciated that he has no easy task and that he needs all the authority that has been given him. EDITORIAL NOTES. The man on the corner says: It may be easy to do right, but there are soms who consider it easier to do others right. It isn’t every vear that the voung men of this country are offered a frze trip to Europe with all expenses paid, including sustenance. With all the opportunities at hand for patriotic service these picketing women at Washington are devoting creditable activities. B o TIPS There is greater effort than ever put forth just now to put the lid on tight and keep it there, but the most of it is brought about by the canning season. The crown prince must have come to the conclusion before this that it is a decidedly different problem to advanee on the western fromt than on the eastern. From the action which has been taken by Siam, it becomes apparent that the address of Chancellor Mi- chagelis didn't make much of an Im- pression there Those at the head of the Russian government have come to the right conciusion when they decide that the proper place for all German workers is outside of the country. The fact that War Minister Keren- sky has proved a pillar of strength in handling such matters as were en- trusted to him in Russia gives reason for belief that he will d equally as well as premits.

CLIFFORD L. WILLIAMS. Norwich, July 24, 1817. The War; Aliens; and Alsace-Lor- raine. Mr. Editor: As to aliens and draft, the alien owes allegiance either to this country, if he intends to become a citizen of the United States, or to his original country. In the first case his military service is due here; in the second, it due there and he and his registration data should be turned over in case he belongs to the allies, as a part of the contribution to the zeneral cause. It would appear to make no difference in the result, whether he fights under the one flag or the other, as long as he is in the fight for the same end: and it ought not to be difficult for the United States and the other allies to come to an agreement and settle the mat- ter before the present drafted men enter actual service in the war. It is absurd that aliens should be exempt from military service entirely, and thus have the business and social privileges of the native, while exempt from equal dutiex; for personal duties performed are the only just basis o personal rights and privileges. It would be very unjust to native citi- zens, to make aliens privileged char- acters compared to themselves. Secondly, the American aim in en- tering the war is “peace without an- nexation of territory our business to sacrifice lavishly of the flower of our young men, and of our wealth to gratify the ambition of France to acquire Alsace-Lorraine: racially and historically more Ger- man than French. The most which we might be expected to do is to ob- tain its independence of choice. J. N. E Mansfleld Center. Conn., July 24. Geographic Society. B8y National “The island of Runo, which, accord- ing to repofts emapating from Ber- lin, has been bombed by German air- planes, is a fragment of land less than ten miles in area, set in the mid- dle of the Bay of Riga, to the south- east, and an equal distance from i Windau, which lies to the southwest, today by the National Geographic ociety from its Washington headquar- | ters. “Runo was not a naval or military base before the outbreak of the pres- ent war. It is a mere fleck of land, jthree and a half miles long and scarce- ly more than two miles wide, rising at its extreme elevation to a height of .00 feet above the sea. On one end is a tiny forest of coniferous trees; the other end is bare and rad:y.

Views of the Vigilantss OUR DEBT TO FRANCE. By Caroline Ticknor of The Vigilantss What is our debt to France? Tet us glance back to those dark ays of 1776, that tried men’s souls. ome think the Declaration of Ind pendence established our independ- ence, forgetting the years which fol- lowed, when our tottering cause made even Washington despair. Prior to the Declaration, France had sent over a million dollars to aid us, and in October, 1776, our three Commissioners were sent to France to plead for us. Benjamin Franklin's negotiations soon brought forth fruit. and it was agreed that France should furnish us two million livres a year: 2and three ships laden with military stores were dispatched to assist us. Then, though the government of France was not prepared to send us troops, volunteers were not wanting. who cast their lot in with the cause of lberty. Lafavette, though but aineteen vears of age, beught and fitted out a vessel. salling in April, 177 From this time on, numerous individuals in France eontributed large sume of monev. among them the beautiful Puchess of Orleans. who gave to John Paul Jopes at one time $47.000 to fit out the “Bon Homme Richard.” donating it, she said “te the great cause of which he was the ablest and bravest champion of the sea”. The arrival of Lafavette. at a mo- ment of grave perplexity for Wash- ington. brought cheer and insplration. Washington wefcomed almost as a son the modest Fremchman. who said, “I am here to learn and not to teach.” and who during the next two years rendered such brilliant military ser- vice. returning to France in 1779 to secure for us the help he saw we must have. He urged the immediate send- ing of 12,000 troops. and of the ne- cessary fleet, and in April, 1780, he returned to Ameriea. announcing the suceess of his mission. This good news came in times of deepest 1 whem even the valiant =pirit of Washington was almost van- guished. The army was freezing, starving, end without money or clothes. The soldiers, without shees, r bloedy foetprints behind them as mest” depiorable. somditian and pa: was truly ‘“not Honest, | tory over Admiral Graves, and taken tull possession of the Virginia waters, with 700 men killed or woumded in the engagement. And now, while the French held the sea, 3,000 of their troops were sent {ashore umder the Margnis Simon. which by reinforcing lafayette, en- abled him to take his stand across the peninsula_at Williamsburs, thus cu ting off Cornwaillis from possible I treat. So for six days the French- men held Cornwallis, until the arrival of Washinzton apd Rochambeau with i the additional 4.000 Frenchmen. It was a victory for France as well as for America, when on October 1§th, the enemy surrendered. - It of happy omen, not only for the United States and for France, but for Great Britain as well. for it meantethe fall of the cerrupt and shameless sovernment of George IT1, and the birth of a new England: that of William I Waipole, Pitt, Chatham and Gladst.ne. And when, vears after, Lafayette said to Napo- leon that “the American Revolution was the greatest event in the histo of the world,” he realized that a d cisive battle for freedom had been won. Could we compute the interest up- on the money which France bestowed it would immeasurably exceed our powers of calculation. And If we es- timate the debt in men, we have the statement of the Prince de Joinville rhat ‘“France lost 55,000 men and ships-of-the-line,” a loss not all on this side of the water but all resuiting from the American alliance. The debt to France is more than we can ever pay because it is the price of our great national existence. but we can do our best to pay at least a fraction of ‘the debt which e us free. then CANNING LESSONS Three Ways to Dry. Simplest form ef food conservation, sun drying, is to place pieces of food on sheets of paper or muslin and ex- tin from the National Emersency Food Garden Commission of Washingion, which is cooperating with The Bulle- iun in a nation wide campaisn to save food. At all times care should be taken to protect the product from moisture, and along towards evening the matérial should be taken indoors. The food should be carefully covered with cheesecloth to protect from in- sects. Once or twice a day the ma- terial should be turned and the dried pieces removed. No exact time can be given for drying but a little ex- perience will soon make it easy to detéermine when the producis are suf- ficientiy dried. When first dried. veg- etables should be rather brittle but not so dry as to snap or crackle, and fruits rather leathery and able. Produet will mold if not dried enouzh. In drying by artificlal heat, cloth or wire trays may be suspended over the range or dishes of food may be piaced in the oven. or specially ecomstructed driers may be made or purchased. In oven drying the foodstuffs may be placed on dishes or wire screens im a slow oven with the door partially opan. Yor drying over a stove, a single tray cr series of trays may be suspendell by a wire or specialiv comstrueted driers may be placed directly upon the top of the stove. In drying by this process, care should be taken that the temperature is not too high. Drying by air blast takes advantage of the electric fan or some similar device for creating a current of air and directing it along a series of trags stacked ome above the ethey. The number of trays is reguiated by the size of the fan. A combination of this method with sun dryving gives exeel- lent results. Drying by this process may be done in twenty-four heurs, or less, a few hours being sufficient in the case of some vegetables and fruits. Before storing for the winter, it is essential that dried material bs ‘“con- ditioned” by pouring from ome con- tainer to another daily for several days. All moist pieces should be re- turned to the drier yntil cured. Proper packing and storage 1is of great importance. Tin cans and paste- board boxes with tight fitting covers, moisture proof paper bags and simi- lar containers may be used. packages should be used so that the product mayv be consumed quiekly after opening. Seal all cans and pa- per hoxes with parafMin and tie tops of bags tightly. Store all dried pro- Gucts in cool place free from mois- ture: insect and vermim. and label all packages fer eonvenience in find- ng.
