It is by no.means downspirited. It is confident of its abilitr to fight and fight victoriously and the farther the enemv proceeds frem its bases the more difficult it is goinz to be to keep w der existin: up the success 7 which it has been favored. Military critics agree that Italy is not in danger of beinz beaten or driven to the conclusion of a separate peace. It is preparing for a stand and ‘he administration of a mighty biow at the enemy, to which is going to be added the weikht of the allies help in men and zuns and henceforth there. is going to be a closer cooperation be- tween the allied nations than there has ever been before. TIME TO END IT. - From one end to the othen of this ountry, since lonz before it entered the war. it has been evident that a small sized army of aliens was at work for-the purpose of crippling the industries of the United States -and preventing it as far as possible, from Seinz of any service to any of the selligerent nations. uccessful to a large dezree, and the fact fhat this country has now en- tered the strussle has not put a stop to_it. Every little while there is an ex- plosi in some important industry. At frequent intervals large food sup- ply depots are destroyed by fire, ex- tensive damage done in one way or anotker along the water fronts at im- portant ports, while the placing of cxplosives aboard ships, the destruc- tion of machinery and the fomenting of trouble amonz the workmen are ather methods which are used for handicapping this nation’s part in the war. Regardices of such have been adopted for overcoming this activity on the part of alien agenis there are still ‘instances where men in the gulse of workmen are -ausht boarding a vessel with a hlghi measures as owered bomb or hiding in the crows- rest of a rhip, apparently waiting an opportunity to do some trick for the enemy. These things all make it evi- dent that in spite of all that is being done there is too much leniency shown these people and it is hizh time that we establishéd and rigidly enforced egulations which would end them. ur interests ‘and safety require such a-move. g RUSSIA’S RESPONSIBILITIES. It is a sane view which thé press of Petrosrad takes regarding the po- sition of Russia in the war at the present time. in- -spite-of the declara- tion of Premier KerensKy that the al- lies must. henceforth bear the burden which that country has beéen assums ing from the very start. Regardless of the seryice which Russia rendered ih the beginning it still has a respon- sibility to “itself ‘as well as to the countries that are fichting for ang With it and it sheuld Be ready to take] advantage of all opportunfties that are thrown in its way. 5% For some months now Russia h: been the weak spot in the entents. It has permitted Germany and Austris to “withdraw many of their troops for service along other fronts in spite of the fact that it has millien: dlers in service and as the Vremi says “the German offensive against Italy is the logical conse- quence of the inaction on the Rua- sian front.” The Cossack organ Vol- vest doesn’t mince matters & bi: when It declares that “the greatest culprit of the momentary Italian misfortune —_— S it e M C shorter it was thought they the Tagliamento. Germany has had much success in fol- were given the amendments constitution of Massachusetts the re- cent constitutional convention in that state can be put down as a success. garding messages from know. is Russia with her military weakness brought about by anarchistic propa- ganda,” while it is a sensible state- ment which is made by the Russkoie Volla in saying that “Ttaly must be heiped in overy way by Russia with an offensive action against the very weak Austro-German lines where theére remain only a few inferior troops.” That Russia could render invaluable service at this time is bevond ques- tion. It is the country which could strike a ‘hard blow for the hastening of the end if the government ana all the -people were as fully alive to the situation as these Petrograd papers. THE AGREEMENT WITH JAPAN. Without any splurge, without any great gathering of motables to witness the signing and without in fact any publicity being given to it. this coun- try Lds entered into an understand- ing with Japan in regard to China which’ gives assurance that one of the big obstacles which has existed, ®r which certain interests have endeav- ored to oreate the belief that it ex- ed, has leen removed. The United States has always mani- fested 'a deep interest in the welfare of CEina. It was in keeping with the isterest which it has taken in the -pro- “ection of the republics in North and South America as manifested In the Monrce Doctrine. and new acknowledged its recognition of same service which Japan is prepared to render to China. Japar has ap- parently been inspired by our atti- iude to look out for the interests of ts neizhbor, China, and the agreement which has been entered into between the United States and Japan rela- tive to the Far East shows that this country has faith in Japan's sood intentions and integrity. The Japan sion came to this country “for the purpoese of bringing out a closer cooperation between the ons in the war and arriving at a letter understanding of each other's policy of the Pacific, It was recognized that it had been-. highly successful even ' bafore the . Lansing-Tshil agreemeat ' was magde public but that has made it hgre, positive than ever. :The -efforts wHich have been made to estranse these two natfons have béen knocked in the heal in a twinkling 2ad closer relations can be expected fn the fu- care. NORTHEAST OF YPRES. Magnificent fighting was déne by the Canadian troops when they ad- vanced their lines to the nertbeast of Ypres and not onlv captured the vil- iage of Passchendaele but captured territory to a distance of 800 yards be- yond. Germafiy has done its utmost to prevent the takinz of this village which occupies an important position on this ridze of ground before Roulers the railroad center threugh which the Germans maintain their lines of com- munication with the ports on the Bel- glan coast, but in this latest drive as in others whete they have been en- zased the Canadians were equal to the task imposed upon them. Bit by bit are the British gnawing into the German line in this region. Each bit of progress brings them nearer to coveted peints of strategic value in addition to the villages which are captured. Already bas the line been seriously bent at this peint and from the methodical method of ad- vancing their lines it is apparent that the British are not ready to abandon their offensive just vet. That this progress will result in an- other strategic retreat of the Kalser's forces can be expected even as they vere withdrawn from the region of the Chemin des Dames, and it becomes plain that the object of the extensive operations northeast of Ypres is to roll up the right wing of the Gérman line which now extends to the coast. And the purpose now is to accompiish this before winter forces any relaxation in the effort. EDITORIAL NOTES.

Editor: The purpose of this epistie is threefold. First to dispel an illusion, which apparently exists In some quarters, that the procedure of presenting the Norwich Town peti- tion to the court of eommon council ‘wae improper; seeond, in my small and humble way, to give th: gentle- men who thought that there was no ordinance prohibiting the taking of passengers by public service vehi- cles, in fromt of trolley cars, a little information: third, to propose an ad- Jjustment: of the dispute over the in- creased fare. & In regard to a petition to be pre- wented to the court of common coun- cil. Any person may present a pe- tition to the court of commion coun- cil. An inhabitant of Sonth Afri- -ca may, and so also mav an inhabitant of the tewn of Nerwich. Any mem- ber of the court of common council may present a ition to the British cabinet. A petition is defined as a request, s prayer, a supplication. The citizens of the town of Norwich and also many citizens of the city of Nor- wich who attended the public meet- ing in Norwich Town presented to the court of common council of the city of Norwich a petition that they pass a stated resolution. The petition did mot undertake to instruct the com- mon council to do anything. It was entirely optional with the common uncil to either adopt or reject the resolution. If the common council had passed the resolution, then the corporation counsel, who is a lawyer emploved by the ecity of Norwich. would have been divected to act, but the direction would have proceeded from the common council. The pro- cedure of presenting the petition was i perfectly legal and proper. The common council did not pass the resolution, merely because they considered tha: the increased fars af- fected the citizens of the fown of Norwich rather than ihe eitizens of the .city of Norwich. In other words the common councll said to you, Mr. Merchant of the City of Norwich. since the establishment of the increased fare; to you Mr. Inhabitant of the City of Nerwich, who go by trelley to t outside the city; to you, E per, whose ad- vertising revenué depends largely on the prosperity of the merchants, and to vou, Mr. Everyman, who is inci- dentally affected, tbat the jncreased fare affects you rather as a citizen of the town of Norwich than as a cit- izen of the city of Norwich. Think it over. When you are thinking it over do not forget that a letter from the town counsel was read stating that the town authorities were ready to'co- cperate in every way with the city zuthorities. In regard to the second reasen for writing the letter, I "beg to call the attention of the Jezal gentleman to section eight of the traffic - rules, whith reads as follows: “Unless in an emergency or to allow another vehi- cle or pedestrian to cross its paths, no vehicle shall stop in any public street or highway of this city, except near the right hand curb.” Does any Tawyer or layman mean to say that in view of this plain or- dinance it is lawful for a public ser- viee. vehicle to take on passengers in front of the Yantic car? On the con- trary the vehicle must stand over at the right hand curb. Is there any other ordinance except the one quoted which could reasona- bly be construed as pronibiting a pub- lic service vehicle from taking on passengers in front of the cars on Franklin square? In city ordinances as in every other statutes the intent of the legislator governs and our ree- olution, if adopted, would have un- equivocally manifested an intention to repeal as much of the above quoted ordinance as prohibited public service vehicles from taking on passengers in front of trollev cars. Similar ac- tion was taken in Waterbury. How- ever, it seems that this entire dispute could be adjusted in a man- ner satisfactory to both the public and the railway pany. knows that rallroads thro the United States are in a bad wav fi- nancially ‘'and must be handled with delicate hands.

Norwich, Nov. 7, 1917, THE WAR PRIMER By National Geographie Society. “Pskov, the half-way city between Riga and Petrograd, and a strategic point of prime importance, is .des- bed in today's war geography bul- letin of the National Geographic So- ‘as followe: The capital of a province of the same name, anc ome of the most an- cient cities of the Russian empire, Pskov has been a trading post for directly in the parth of a German land acvance upon Petrograd from Riga. “Pskov is situated on both bank: of the Rivers Valikaya and Pskov at their confluence. It is divided into four quarters. the oidest and most important being the Kremiin, sur- rounded by white lmestone walls in a fair state of preservation in spite of the fact that they have been stand- ing_for more than eight centuries. “Petrograd lies to the northeast of Pskov a distance of 171 miles by rail, and Riga is almost the same distance to the southwest. The town lies nine 1niles ‘south of LaRe Pskov into which the Veltkaya flow “For more than a thousand years Pekov has been a trading post for Tierchants of south TEurope seeking ar an outlet to the Baltic by way of the natural chanrel of the Veiikaya. As early as' 992 the town was unfted with its sister trading center of Nov- gorod, 125 miles to the northeast, to form a bishopric, after which both places grew rapidly in importance and ealth. During the Mongolian invasion of FRussia, Pskov succeeded in establish- ing its complete independence of Nov- forod, setting up a republic of its cwn, a government which differed somewhat from that of its rival in that Novgorol was dominated by a ‘utoeratic merchant class whereas in Fskov the poorer elements of the pop- vlation usually maintained themselves in. power. ‘The Princes of Moscow early in the sixteenth ventury succeeded in depriving Pskov of its independence and from that time its rulers were subject to the overlords of the great Russian metropolis. “Pskov owead its salvation in_1570 io a patriotic monk, Nicholas Salos, who by feigning madness, dissuaded the ruthless Ivan the Terrible from his determination to destroy the city Ebecause it had been suspected of trea- €cn to that monharch’s cause.

The present structure dates from 1691-99. _Here are + buried the princes of Pskov, among them the courageous Prince Dovmont under whose leadership the Teutonic Knights were defeated in the 13th century and during whose regime the eity's - first walls were built, enabling the citizens of Pskov to make good their claim of independ- e from Novgorod. “For many years during the middle ages Pskov was an important mem- ber of the Hanseatic League, and a German factory was established here orn the left bank of the Velikayan. The Germans. however. were not especi- ' Pskov even in that not permitted to cross the bridge of boats from the factory into the mmin pertion of the town, which at its zenith had a pop- ulation of 60,600. ‘“Pskov is an important station for trade between Riga and Novgorod:.
