The Circniation of The Bulieiin The Bulletin bas the largest circutation of any paper in Eastern Connectigut and from three to four times lafger than that of any in Norwich. It i delivered fo over ‘| o their equivalent, harbors of this country. moat of which are loaded with grain or other com- modities for delivery in countries ad- jacent to Germany, furnish ‘- a' prob- lem for this xovernment to adjust as ston as possible, These ships have been loaded for a long time, so long in fact that the grain in their holds is said to be rot- ting. They have not sailed because they have been refused the necessary lcense, which under the new lesisla- tlon here must be secured for com- modities going to Furopean neutrals which have been using such supplies, for trade with the enemy. With the expectation that the li- censes to sail will be obtained in time those controlling the vessels have re- fused to unload their cargoes and put the ships into other service for the relief of the existing shortage. Effqrts to bring about such a change has only resulted in the positive declination to cven remove the grain that it may be prevented from becoming a total loss. What the next step to be taken by this country will*be, inasmuch as it has. the authority to take over such vessels by paving for them, awalts development, but there can, be little question as to the need for hips and fo the power which the government possesses under the circumstances. There certainly ought to be no idle ships. NATIONAL ENEMIES. Called unquestionably because of he attitude which has been mani- fested by the mayor of Chicago, the war mass meeting held in that city with Elihu Root as the speaker was timely and should be productive of wood results. Mr. Root took occasion to define the word “traitor” and what he had to say upon the subject ap- rlied not solely to those who aré work- ing there against the government in the conduct of the war, but to those in Washington and elsewhere through- cut the country.

From a distance it cannot help be- ing appreciated that Italy is playing an important part in the war across the water. It has taken some time to prepare but it has Rotten down to business in a manner which is bound| tions with the to depress the central powers much as it elates the entente. Italy has made excellent progress in this last offensive in smashing through the mountain defenses of Austria. FEven Monts San Gabriele over which there has been such a bloody contest, has fallen to the de- termined troops under General Ca- dorna thus opening the way to graat- as er progress, not only for the capture|matter, said it was “the resuit of put- of Trieste, Palo and Fiume, but for the opening’ of a campaign directed | faith, without the slightest idea that towards the Austrian capital. The claim is made that Italy has a|celves to such abuses of a privilege sufficient army to carry out such oper- | extended to them.” ntions, and that in spite of the long oattle frent and the millions of men under arms it has not as yet called many of its classes, but while its man power Is strong it Is seriously lack- ing in guns, coal and airplanes. Thus while the allies have heen sending much aid in, that direction the oppor- tunity for contributing much more to 2 war theater which is bound to have important effects upon the early end- ing of the war is large. If the m vulnerable point in the central pow- ers has been located the most should be made of it, and the quicker the as- sistance can be given the greater are the sprospects for an carly decisive victory. If Austria can be brought to its knees Germany will get a death blow. WAR INSURANCE. It is quite natural that there should be twidespread interest in the plans which are being made to take care of the soldiers and sailors in case of in- juries and their dependents in case of death as the result of the war. There has becn experience enoush with war to know that both can be anticipated. In the past this phase of the matter has been looked after throuzh a pen- sion system, but now it is planned to get this like many other things down to a scientific basis, that all may be treated fairly and so far as possible alike. | The war Insurance bill is the out- some of deep thought upon this mat: ter. It has been handled with the same care, thouzh possibly not along the same lines, that the big insurance companies gi{e to their business, and how thoroughly it is approved and how generally it is looked upon as question but what hdf is right when he said “A nation which declares war and goes on discussing whether it cught to have declared war or not, is impotent.” and likewise wren he de- ciares “After the d=cision in favor of war, the country has ranged itse! and the only issue left for the indi- idual citizen is whether he is for or inst his etountry.” Following that up and dealing with the propagandists and obstructionts te pointedly remarks. “The men who are speaking and writing and print- ing are nts against the war now, and againdt everything that is being done to carry on the war, are render- ing more effcctive service to Germany than they could render in the fleld. The purpose and effect of what they are doing is so plain that it is impos- sible to resist the conclusion that the greater part of them are at heart traitors to the United States and will- fully seeking to bring about the triumph of Germany and the humilia- tion and defeat of their own country. This view is the only one that'can he taken under the circumstancesard it is one that should be taken to heart by all those to whom it applies. - SWEDEN AWAKENS. That Sweden begins to realize the seriousness of the situation into which it has been led by Germany is indi- cated by the removal of one of tre sceretaries -in the foreign office, by the annduncement. that the practice of forwarding Germany’s’ messages has béen stopped and will not be re- sumed and by the desire to maintain the most friendiy and cordial rela- Xnited States. Tts desire to straighten out the trou- ble and to respect the policy of neu- trality is indicated in all the state. ments which are beinz made by Swedish officials, but it is difficult to understand the explanation which is given by Herman L. F. Lagerchantz, a former Swedish minister to Wash- ington, who when in admitting the grave error that had been made in this ting reliance upon Germany’s good German diplomats would lend them- That is undoubtedly what hap- pened, but how Sweden could put faith in Germany’s conduct or how it couid rely upon the diplomats of that country respect(n{ the privileges which were allowed" them, in view of the manner in which that country and its representatives have been conduct- ing themselves regarding the rest of the world, whether neutral or belliger- ent, is the surprising part of it. Tt looks very much as if the gullibility of Sweden had been taken advantage of but it cannot claim in the future that it has hot had its eyes opened, and that friendship which it has been mani- festing towards Germany can be ex- pected to undergo a marked change. EDITORIAL NOTES. The coming of cool weather is bound to flood the ce of .the coal com- mittee with demands for the early fixing of retail prices. Just as long as they can locate them, it can be expected that the German airmen will continue to drop bombs upon hospitals. It may be that Germany approves in general terms Pope Benedict’s plan for peace, but President Wilson. has already said that that as it stands will not %o. N Mutderers are hanged and murder- crs are electrocuted, but it is hard to convince those who Jave blcod in their eve thag they cannot escape the ends of justice. The man on the corner says: Some chaps straighten up with an,alr of importance every time the traffic of- treating all coricerned, the soldiers, sailors and nation, fairly is displayed by the unanimous vote when the bill came up for action in the house. _ It could hardly be expected that in- surance under such hazardous condi- tions could be secured for the sum of | 88 a thousand a year, but there are obligations which the government must assume in the matter and such s to be taken care of by the govern- ent providing the differcnce. Thus ere will be large expenditures called ‘or by the countrv, as under the pen- sion plan, but the schems set forth in :be blll has the advantaze of treating all alike, and It is but proper that it should recelve general approval. IDLE SHIPS. With the neecd that extsts for more reesels and the inability in some juarters to move- crops because of he lack of that kind of fon facilities, seutral ships whi2h are lying in ths transporta- ficer stops a string of vehicles to get him across the street. Count Luxburg will henceforth be in disfavor at Berlin, not because he advocated desfinicflan without leav- ing a trace, but Becduse he, like Zim- merman, was found out. There may be some countries which are ruffled at the anger displayed in Argentfaa, but those very nations must take time and reflect upon where the responsibility Iies. The sum called for in the war reve- nue bill is large, but as the senate passed it there is the satisfaction of -land can be labelled. SUGGESTIONS. FOR THE HOUSEWIFE All raw foods’ should be thoroughly washed. £ Before painting furniture be that it Is clean. sure Jellied prunes can be served with boiled custard. Sweat corn and popooth be planted together. The lohger tomato sauce is cooked the better the’ flavor. should not New peas are improved by a little sugar, and so is cut off corn. Don’t salt steak until ready to serve it, if you wou&d have it tender. A heavy wire double brofler is most convenient for steak broiling. .('othlng is more delicious than chicken smothered in fresh mushrooms. | In case of burns apply powered char- | coal; it smooths the pain and heals the sore. v Linen pillow slips are a great com- tort @o an invalid. il S - 1 Warm little night slippers for baby can be made out of bathrobe material. Several kinds of left over jeliy can be mixed together and used for cake filling. ; Put pockets in the little girl's dress | if possible. She will not lose so many handkerchiefs. A large letter wall calendar and an| attached pencil makes a most conven- ient kitchen memo pad. Grocery: lists | can be jotted in the date spaces, mem oranda of things to be done on certain days, a record Rept of any matter of interest, and it is always in sight and will not be neglected. To Keep Lemon Juice Squeepy the juice into a china dish then stiffin it through a piece of unus- lin so the least particle of pulp can- not go through. Fill some smail bot. tles that are perfectly dry. with the juice, leaving epough room for a spoon- of cotton, wind it around a skewer and dip the oil -from thedjuice. You will find the juice as nice as when first bottled. Home Mads Labels Cut off the gummed edse of envelopes that come with advertising and use for iabels. Stick them on canned fruit, bundles and boxes. Also, the envgl- opes are handy, cut in strips to wrap around small bundles of tickets, rib- bons and what not. Better than rub- ber bands, as they hold them firmly HEALTH AND BEAUTY If you are very tired take a bath in sodd water. Gray hair should always be sham- pooed with white soap, as another kind is liable to leave the hair yel- low. Neurolgia_is relieved sometimes by applying a bag of hot salt, and it wiil relieve earache sometimes. When a person faints $iace the per- son in a lying position with head low- er than the body. Ip this way cons- ciousness returns quickly. Eggs are considered one of the best remedies for dysentery. Leaten up slightly, with or without sugar, they tend by reason of their emoll.ent quali- ties to lessen the inflammation of the stomach and intestines and form gyl transient coating on these organs. Wedding Cake " Na matter hoWw much in love with the man of the hour the prospective bride may be, she is never too fuli of senti- ment to ignore a new 4idea in serving the weddiffg cake. The woman who is contemplating marriage in the very near future should not fail to cons er the latest novelty in individual box- es for the wedding cake. Each box is of triangular shape and loocks just like a single portion of cake. Twelve toward the center they look like a layer cake. ery box there is a perky bow of ribbon The' ribbon can be chosen to fit in | with the color decora‘ions \Sureiy this | is a pleasant change from the little square boxes with which everyone is familiar. The Weatherproof Coat For the woman who must breast the elements and travel under rain as well as shine there were seen in the shops | some extremely smart models which are known as the weatherproof walking coats. These generally boast the big collar that will open or close at will snd the large pockets and detachable belt, and have the advantage of being rainproof over the other coits that are like them in appearance. They are carried out in several materials and are sure to prove popular. Clothes are a necessity and the wise woman will but not many but enough, and economically as well. This year | the fashions are such that it is quite possible to obtain garments that will look fitting for several occasions. And { these combination styles in suits and coats are the result of careful planning and experience of the fashion makers and ate a boon to thase of us who must of necessity dress on a small income. "A Chemise Hint If you are a lover of the empire ef- ‘ect in chemises you will appreciate this way of obtaining it. Make your chemise as usual, either the straight kind in the envelope variety. Crochet a neat little beading around the top and then make about twelve of four- teen inches of beading insertion to match the edge. & - Sew this across the front of your chemise at the high-waisted line and run ribbon through it, tying in a bow at the front and sewing the ends where the insertion ends, just to the front of the side seams. You will have the high-waisted effect and a decorative one as well. DICTATES OF FASHION Black and white costumes are in great vogue in Paris. Lining the sash with white satin is strikingly chic. Fashion is ever inconsistent. Along with thesnew suits showing snugly fit- ting lines are shown topcoats in loose, belted effect and full sleeves. A college frock is made of dark blue knowing that the country has not been drained to the last penny. Possibly the condition of the New Haven road today is omre of the things for which the interstate commerc> commissior will take credit because the large number of|of its refusal to grant an incresse in|strong in rates. eilk crepe with a touch of embroidery of them are arranged .with their points | so that in a mass | On ev-| again only one will be used efther at thc front or back. " Stocks and_ jabots stand out promi- nently in collections of latest neck- wear. Chenille lends itself willingly and satisfactorilv to embroidery on suits, blouses and frocks. — Gingham bloomers are frequently made to wear under gingham dresses. A novel scarf has little pockets at the ends, into which the hands can be thrust. Wé&ar a string of heads that tone with or contrast well with the summer frock: . ‘There is little ground for the rumor that we are going back to the tight waist. Dolmag_Sleeves The dolman sleeve in the new top- coats are their peculiar new style fea- ture. They are not exactly the dolman shape of old-time wraps, but there is much of the same peculiar contour, modernized. These sleeves start from very large armholes, plated low in a capelike grament. Large at the top, they become much smaller. Sometimes they have a loose fur cuff, sometimes one gathered with a sort of large ruf- fle below. Mahogany and Walnut Mahogany is beinz made in so browr 2 tone, and the popular American wal- nut is frequently toned in so dull a .brown, that it is being proved a diffi- cut matter to tell them upart. In a very expensive dining room suite the two woods, mahogany and walnut, have even been seen in combination. one of the woods being ured as a_decorative: embellishment on the second one. This, of course, was dome so artistically tha the lavman would have to be told what woods these were. Furniture Cleaned irst blow the dust out of the cre- vices with a pair of bellows or a good ed bellows or bicycle pump. This v assist in cleaning. Make disso’ving ha'f a bar of white =0ap in a gallon or more of water ud add half a cupful of common salt. This will prevent the cane from turn- ing yellow. Apply the suds to the chair with a scrubbing brush, first one side and then the other, using plenty of wa- ter, so that the cane may be thorough- {1y soaked. Place it out of doors to dry in a shady place. This will make the cane firm and tight and renew its elasticlty. .NEEDLE WORK NOTES A round crochet hook of fairly good isize is a splendid substitute for a rib- bon runner. Re sure that the ribbon gets a good hold on the hook so that it will not slip off. Of course push the blunt end first through the casing or beading through which the ribbon is to be run. 1ul of sweet oil, cork tightly and let! stand in a cool place. For large bottles use more oil. When you wish to use the juice, take a piece Before cross stitching or whipping the rolled hem of a handkerchief pull threads along each side. The line will serve not onir as a guide in rolling the linen. but also as a guide n cross- stitching. After the handkerchief imndered the drawn thread will not ve visible. A ocuick way to d to pull the threads in the usual way. hemstitching is m your material Place the material {on the sewing machine and stitch !through the center line of pulled threads. Slp the stitching as close to one side s possible. The effect wiil be so satisfactory that one will not be able to detect it from hand hem- stitching. Novelties in Lamp Shades While the simple shirred silk shade and that of cretonne cannct be criticis- ed if they harmonize with the furnish- g scheme of a raom, they are inclin- ed to become tiresome if onedhas them in every room in the house. Thus new lampshades are appearing every now and then to vary the monotony. Perhaps one of the prettiest styles is the paper shade made perfectly plain and round from a circular piece of heavy Jdpanese paper or board. These paper shades are simply painted to match the bowl or vase of the lamp- istand and are usually used with the pottery base. Occasionally they appear with a wooden standard and are in g00d taste when thus used. Brass or bronze bowl lamps are also provided with these paper shades. When the shade is left in the natural parchment color the light diffused therefrom is apt to be very mellow and inviting looking. Kiddie’'s Play Apron A little play apron can be made up from toweling that is bought by the Lyara. H | It -simply has a hole cut out about one-third in from the end of toweling which is one yard and an eighth long. Two strips are cut off at one end of the towel and sewed together: this makes strings, which are sewed to one end of the toweling, which has been gath- ered slightly. The piece that is cut out for the neck opening is sused o meke the pocke’. on the apron. Children “always like a little picture sewed to_ their aprons. This may be embroidered on in outline in cotton floss. To Remove Enamel There are occasions that demand the removal of a coat of white enamel, es- Decially if an article is to be repainted. A quick and easy way of doing it is to apply to the enamel a solution of equal parts of soda and quicklime. The paint will become so softened in a short time thati it can be washed off with hot water. Before applying . the new coat of paint, wash surface thor- trace of the alkali. oughly with vinegar to remove all the S~ Keap~ Butter Cool Put the butter dish after it ¥as been washed, in the refrigerator until wanted for the next meal. This cold dish will often keep the butter hard through the entire meal. CONCERNING WOMEN Mrs. Leon S. Douglas of San Rafael, Cal. has subscribed for liberty bonds to the amount of $100,000. The United Cigar Stores company, has agreed to pay its woman employ-’ ees on the same basis with the men. Women today are more skilled in many respects and more successful as drivers of motor cars than the male sex.

A woman’s and girls' division of the United States employment service is to be organized in Washington, D. and self-covered buttons.

State THE WAR PRIMER 8y National Geographic Society. Island of Qusel The Natianal Geographis Society issues the following war geopraphy uiletin on Oesel, an island in the Baitic where the Russians have an aviation base which was recently bombed by German airplanes: “The island of Oesel lies like a sreat and above the Gulf of Riga. al- most campletely shutting it off from the waters of the Baltic sea. Togeth- er with the' smaller islands of Moon and Rundo, (the latter the subject of a recent war geography bulletin,) it forms the Oesel district of tne Russian iZaltic province of Livonia. It is now known as ‘the island of the Courland- crs’ and has an area nearly three fourths as large as Long Island, N. Y., but with a population not_exceeding 65.000 most of whom are Esthonians. — “Arensburg. the capital, is practi- cally the only population center in the island. Tt has some 5,000 inhabitants engaged largely in trade.in grain, po- ta‘oes, and whiskey and fish. The town is situated one hundrod ard six miles northwest of Riga. Tn times of peace there is a bi-weelly steamship service between the two cit- ies, the passage across the Gulf of Riga requiring about eight hours. Practi- cally the only interesting building in the town is the Old Bishop's Castle, aating from the 14th ceéntury but still well, preserved, uniess the bombs re- cently dropped by the German raiders have demolished it. “From May to August in ordinary times Arensburg is visited by several thousand. tourists from the mainland who' come to enjoy the sea bathing and the mud baths, Which are supposed to have special curative properties. “Oesel began to figure in the his- tory of the Baltic carly in the 13th century when Waldemar. king of the Danes, took nossession of it and erect- ed a castle there. The stronghold was soon destroyed by the Esthonians. how- ever. In 1227 the Brethen of the Sword introduced Christianity on the island and its government was entrust- ed to a line of Bishops, the last of whom. more than 300 years after the Knights took possession. sold thf ter- to the Danes. In 1645 the island passed to the Swedes who held it until it was*incorporated in the kinwdom of Russic during the first quarter of the 18th_century. The small sturdv horses of Oesel like those of the Shetland islands, are noted far their mettle and endurance.” i Why We Must Send ~ Men as Well as Money \ An interview with Joseph G.
