The taxpayers and voters of Nor- wich have reasomn. to feel per- fectly satisfled over the forth- coming report of the board of se- lectmen for the past yvear. It will show that they have not only given the closest attention to the conducting of the town's affairs on a business basis, with the same care and pru- dence that would be given-ta the run- ning ¢ a private corporation, but that they have maintained all the de- partments in the same commendable manne; r. Especially striking is the fact that in spite of the increased codt of la- bor and material there has been a reduction in the town debt of over $27,000 which means the lopping off of a considerable item of expense for interest in the future, but in addition thereto, and this fact cannot be lost sight of, all the bills of the town have been paid and there remains In the treasury for the purpose of being ap- plied to the expenses of the ensuing vear the sum of $28122.61. Balances of course ‘may be large and amount to little if there are unpaid bilis which have got to be met, but _that con-. tingency is not faced by the next beard of selectmen. The present board has taken care of all its bills and some of its predecessors and has the equivalent of over a mill and a half tax on which to do business this com- ing year. = This fact, in view of the excellent manner in which the town needs have been looked after, cannot fail to make its impression upon the townspeople. It has capable and efficient men in Casper K. Bailey and Charles P. Bush- nell and it is for the town’s interest that they should be retained in office for anotherterm. THE QUESTION OF FOOD. Food Administrator Hoover un- doubtedly hits the ndll on the head when he declares that the food ques- tion is going to be one of the deciding factors in the war. This has been a matter of supreme importance throughout the whole contest. It has been recognized by both sides but up to now it -has been tmpossible to bring as much. pressure to bear upon it as is going to be exerted in'the future through the legislation which has been 1dopted by the United States. 5 Do what they would it had been mpossible- for the allies to shut off ‘he suppHes that were being received y from the neutral coun- xries. . The .embargo was of much senefit But it failed to shut off every- ‘hin, Neutral nations were draw- ng from this conntry and .sending mcuoofi,or_th&u e:ulvfimt to the :entral jpowers r the support not miy of fie,m-eomhnnt-’;m for ‘which Have been 2arried out e keeping of food pro- from egch other is being L TN e e X I S the fighting forces but when it can- not be obtained it is bound to be as effective in bringing about peace as a great victory on the(battlefield. e ot CENSOR FOR CABLES AND MAIL. .That the conferees on the trading- with-the-enemy bill haye decided to add thereto an amemdment providing for the censorship of all outgoing and incoming cable messages and letters shows that they have taken into con- sideraticn the necessity of shutting oft<this important avenue for render- ing assistance to the enemy and have acted wisely for the protection of the interests of this country and its al- les. It is known that information has reached the enemy in time to have it do its best to sink our destroyers and our transports. The information was gathered in this country by observ- ers or sples and was transmitted through some of the neutral nations either by means of code messages or by vireless. It is also fully under- stood how -Argentina and Mexico have been duped and what valuable aid has been secured through certain di- plomatic representatives of Sweden. It is therefore high time that such a censorship as proposed should -be put into effect. We have got to lock t for ourselves. We must take &ll ?‘cl.utloni to insure the safety of our roops and our ships. If the cables are being used either by suspected or unsuspegted spies for such work the thing to do is to stop it at once, and the_same holds true of the malis. Lax- ity in such matters has doubtless cost us much In the past but all such ave- nues_should be closed in the future. We rhust use the'most effective mean: to crush the unseen enemy at home. ANOTHER MISSION TO RUSSIA, There is an agitation in bchalf of sending a mission representing the American Federation of Labor and others associated with labpr in one form or another t6 Russia fov the pur- pose of counteracting the influence which has been spread throughout .that country detrimental to the real attitude of this country in the war and injurfous to the present Russian government. Russia in addition to handling its big problems, of which there appears to be an unlimited number, has had to contend with the influence which has been spread ‘throughout that na- tion by those who have zone back homie from the United States and who are representative of the very small radical ,minority that is calling for peace, opposing conscription and playing into the hands of the enemy. They have offgred the declarations of some of the extremists as represen- tative of the real attitude of the coun- try and it is not surprising that they -have succeeded in convincing a cer- tain number in that disturbed-coun- try that they are speaking for the people of the United States. ‘The importance of counteracting =uch influence cannot be overlooked. Consideraticn of what was put forth by the Root mission would be suffi- clent but that fails to_sget considera- tion in certdin quarters. Russia needs all the help that it can get, ana if such a mission as Is suggested would be of assistance in cvercoming the unrest. it should by all means be sent. . We must do all we can to help Russia get a balance wheel. ARGENTINA SENTIMENT. Arflentina’s feelings appea® to be Pretty well represented by ‘the de- eisive vcte which has besen taken in of diplomatic relations with Germany. The 23 ballots. favorablé to the ome in opposition to such acsion does not indicate any great sympathy for the German cause and the policies which that country stands for. But the ac- tion of the senate only ihcreases the interest in the same matter when it comes before the chamber of deputies Argentina of course has every rea- son to be aroused. Up to the dis- closures which were made by this country there was a certain amount of pro-German sentiment in that country. Advantage had been taken of Argentina’s neutrality to spread German propaganda throughout South America and evidence that Berlin was anxious to bave that neutrality main- tained is disclosed in the way in which the German government agreed to pay for the Joss of an Argentine steamship and promised that no more submarine attacks wcmld be made upon its shipping. This was the salve which was ex- pected to cover up the actions of Count Luxburg in recommending the sinking of Argentine shipping “with out leaving a trace” and possibly. oth- er similar moves against that nation of which no revelations have been made. That ft wonld)l ve succeeded is probable had net thi: untry shown up Germany’ methods. Argentina | now, however, appears to realize the manner in which it has been hood- winked. One such lesson is enough {n the opinion of the senate, and it is impossible to see how the chamber of deputies can view it otherwise. S e B s EDITORIAL NOTES.

Too much worry is wickedness because it is suicidal. Doubt plays such-a large part in life that it excites confusion and fear, and worrying naturally follows in Doubt's wake. He who never doubted has been often victimized and he will never accept the fact that doubt is the shadow of truth; he would sooner believe Doubt to be the brother devil of Despair.

What is hope if you do not know what you hope for? The man who hopes to get rich has a definite idea and purpose; the person who hopes to achieve fame applies his physical energy to some distinctive endeavor; but most people who claim to have within their hearts a hope of attain- ing heaven have no conception of what heaven is. like. They never think the purpose of Revelations was to make a tangible eternal hope pos- sible.

It was Farrar who discovéred that no man _could pass into eternity, for he was already in it. Eternity is now and ever. Be- ing heirs to eternal or continuous life we must be living in eternity now as much as ever shall be. Of course, eternity is incomprehensible, no language can define it, for it ap- parently includes all the continuous life in the universe. If new worlds appear and old worlds die, it is not death, but life which is triumphant. If it were not for the quick there would be no dead.

There are few cities of the size of Norwich that can point to such a group of modern bank buildings as may be seen in “Bankers’ Row,” where, as long ago as 1863 the Nor- wich Savings Society, the Thames National Bank, and the Chelsea Sav- ings Bank erected a large building for their own uses and for offices. ng 1895, the Norwich Savings finding its quarters too built a banking house worthy putation, .on the corner of Street and Broadway, and maintains_in -connection with ‘it a fire and burglar proof safe deposit de- it The president (in 1909) was Charles Bard and the treasurer Costello Lippitt.

He may blame the gasolene, the cofl, the carburetor, the spark plugs, or any ome of half a dozen other parts of the car. But the one best guess is apt to be—carbon. The black deposit need not bde abundant to do a lot of damage. Nothing can more effectually kill the engine’s power and take away the joy of motoring. It is remarkable how small a handi- cap will make heavy going for any of us on the road of life. One sometimes imagines that only outstanding faults are destiried to ensure failure.

The facts are writ- ten so plain that he who riins may read, Most mortals lag behind in the proces- sion, not because of hopeless incapac- ity, or of pronounced vices, but simply because their life engines have never developed full power. Carbon has gathered in their cylinders and been allowed to remain. Let us admit that scores of personal habits and indulgences not to be con- demned in toto are still harmful rather than helpful. Their general tendency is to hinder. — They interfere to a greater or less degree with the smooth running of the human machine. A writer who had for years con- sumed more cigarets than he, perhaps realized, gradually became conscious that his work was costing him more effort than formerly, and, at the same time, that it found a slacker miarket. The blame-was finally laid on the sub- tle poison of nicotine. The man said that he had begun to feel like a person wearing mittens—only, in this case, the mittens were on his brains. Against how many common prac- tises might a similar charge be brought! It is not so much for the bad work they do, as -for the good work they epoil that we indict them, Subtracting, say, a tenth of the weorker’s power, they mar the full ex- cellence of his product. Various habits of thought to which the average man must plead guilty are not the less serious because they are generally unrealized. They repre- sent just enough waste and energy to keep one behind in the race. A habit of irresolutfon, the inability to weigh evidence and choose, chronic lack of self confidence, worry in all its mani- fold forms, such as mental traits as rfiese represent carbon, fit only to over- heat the human engine, to short circuit the mental spark plugs, and, generally, to_dissipate power. If an efficiency expert were to ob- serve most of us, he would not be long in putting his finger on the weak places. The marvel to most of us would be the manifest logic of his findings. We ourselves might have discovered these things if we had looked for them. They escaped us simply because we ha® become stupidly content with a life engine that was skipping, knocking, and developing about six-eights of-its normal power. “The proper study of mankind is man,” said Pope.

The foundation of the Academy, Mr. Gilman recalls—and it cannot be recalled too often or with too.much enthusiasm—was due to the zeal of Rev. Dr. Jokn P.

Subscriptions reaching $80,000 would be considered a . rather tidy sum even today, when the nation is thinking in billions and amounts.once held as fabulous are being loaned and handled and negotiated with a new and wtartling_celerity and seeming indifference.

It included such names as Willilam _A. Buckingham, Russell Hubbard, Mr. and Mrs. William P. Greene, Moses Pierce, Henry B. Norton, and many others worthy of mention. The spir- it kindled by Dr. Gulliver's ‘enthus- iasm is illustrated by Mr. Hubbard’s unsolicted offer to give “one-tenth of seventy-five thousand dollars_ for a free academy,” and by Mr. Greene's response, “I will gNe ~one-tenth of seventy-five thousand dollars, or one- tenth of any other sum you can raise! The_principals of the Academy have been Elbridge Smith, William Hutch- inson and Dr. Robert Porter Keep, all of whom have departed this life, and Henry A. Tirrell, who succeeded Dr. Keep in 1903. Under these honored instructors, Mr. Gilman writes, the Academy has fulfiilled Dr. Gulliver's hope that it might become “a University of Sec- ondary Education.” THE DICTAGRAPH. STORIES OF THE WAR Air Combat From Deal. (Deal correspondent London Times.) Never have the people of this part of the coast had a finer view. of a squad- ron of raiding aeroplanes than they did this morning. (Aug. 22)~It“was an ideal August day. The sun was blaz- ing with almost tropical flerceness. Visitors were out in large numbers on the parade, beach and pier; were paddling and playing on the beach, and many persons were enjoy- ing their morning dip. The scene of enjoyment was chang. ed into one of consternation when the blast, of the sirens gave warning of danger. Bathers_quickly left the wa- ter, mothers snatched their children up from the beach and hastened with them to places of safety, but many remained and scanned the sky for signs-of the raiders. Quickly a num- ber of our own machines raced in & northerly @irection. In a few minutes rapid gunfire was heard from the di- rection of Thanet, and by the aid glasses a very large number of ma- chines was observed bunched together in the sky. Telescopes were hastily commandeered, and with their aid a thrilling and fascinating sight was re- vealed. Some four or five miles north of this town' one-could distinctly see a fierce aerial fight in progress, in which was engaged between twenty and thirty machines. For a time the machines appeared to be all topsy-turvy, and it was difficult to tell friend from foe, so huddled .together did they appear. Shells were bursting’ in all direction: above, beneath and around the ma. chines, while the smoke clouds from the -shrapnel hid the raiders at times from view. It was obvious that a raid on a large scale was in progress; and loud cheers were given when one of the raiders was seen to wobble, burst into flames, and nose-dive to earth. After this nine of the machines were observed to .detach themselves from the main body and steer directly over Deal, got closer one coul d see that they were |of the Gotha pattern.

In the bright, sunlit sky it was a fine sight, and although heading against the wind they came along in forma- tion, four in the first row, three in the second, and the remaining two a little behind. To those who were watching it appeared that they would pass di- rectly over the town, but they took a sudden turn, all the time. being sub- Jected ‘to heavy gunfire. They passed well to the west of Deal, keeping straight ahead for Dover. They re- turned some 10 minutes later. passing over the sea at a point a little south of Déal. Not a single bomb fell anywhere near Deal, but it is réported that about 12 were dropped in and around Dover. one at the rear of “Admiral Harvey” public house, Bridge street, killing the barmaid. Bombs also fell in the Pri- ory ground. killing two men and an- other fell near the house of Emden Phillips. CANNING Fr Juices.

Practically any fruit may be used In the following recipe: 'The fruit Jjuice may be pressed out of the fruit by means of a rider press, or any other improvised press, then heated in an acid-proof- kettle up to 110 de- children | grees Fahrenheit. Pour the fruit juice into ordinary hot jars, hot bottles or tin cans and handle by the samc direc- tions as. those for canning the partic- Glar frutt itself If poured into mis- cellaneous- bottles, it is suggested to sterilize the fruit juice according to the following process: Make a cotton stopper and press in- to the neck of the bottle and leave during the_sterilization perfod. Set- bottles in hot water up to the neck of the bottle, sterilize the frait juice for 40 minutes at a temperature of 165 degrees Fahrenheit. Remove the pro- duct, press cork in top over cotton stopper immediately, No paraffin need be used if the cork fits well. If a poor cork, it may be necessary to dip the -cofk in a mieited solution of wax or paraffin. Fruit juices and apple clder when handled in this way will not “flatten in taste” and will keep fresh for future use.

Pola, Austri Chisf Naval Base~ From its Washington headquarters theé National Geographic society issues the following war geography bulletin on Pola, Austria’s chief gaval base, where that country’s fleet is now reported to be “bottled up” by the altied fleets of Great Britain and Italy: . “In 190 the population of Pola was about what it had been eighteen cen- ot |Istrian peninsula, 85 the foreshore.

The town is virtually without industrial establishments or manufactures. . “The practically land-locked harbor is divided, the upper or northesn half being the commercial roadstead, and the lower half (below the chain brid which connects Scoglio Olivi, Olive Island, with the mainland) being he Porto Militare, with the extensive ma- ring arsenal on the southeastern shore. “The city itselt clusters around a castle-crowned hill which was once the site of the Roman capitol. The castle is & memento of the days of Venetian prowess. ’ “Before ‘the war Pola was annually visited by many American and British tourists. not on account of its strongly fortified harbor, but because of the in- teresting and well preserved monu- ments which have survived since the of Roman occupation. “Its settlement attributed to the Col- chians, who pursued Jason and his ar- gonauts, Pola’s splendid harbor be came a Roman possession in 178 B. C but Julius Ceasar destroyed it for hav ing éspoused the cause of Pompey.
