It is the only stand take in regard to such a maiter, but it is surprising that judges in va- rious sections of the country have to be reminded of it so often. The accused in this case, a man d Fdx, was invoived in that army — nnvy bazaar where a large amount of money was takem in but oniy a very insignificant sum was turned over to the object fer which it was raised. Not only did he plead cuilty to onc charge but ome of the clternatives allowed him by the judze indicates that .he is iiable to other prosecution. Certainly that kind of a man ought not to be forced upon army officers to reform. They have enough to go without any such handicaps as that. Norwich, Monday, Dec. 17, 1917. CiRCULATION .. 4412 1901, average ...... . 1905, average Dec. 15 19.1 / MEMBER OF THE ASSOCIATED PRESS The Associated Press is exclusive- iy entitled to the use for republica- tion of all news despatches credif- ed to it or not otherwise credit- ed in this paper and also the local news published nerein All rights of republication of special despatches hereln are also THE "WEBB BILL. It seems quite probable now that the Webb bill which was presented at the last session of congress will receive favorable action and seon be- come a jaw. It has been approved in both branches of congress with some changes in the senate which will re- quire a conference in order td get an agreement upon those provisions over which there is a difference of opin- jon, but such ought to be speedly ac- gomplished. This piece of legislation has to o with our expprt trade. Natugally our attention at this time is centered up- on war activities but we cannot cast aside all thought regarding the trade which we have with countries outside of the war zone. That was impor- tant hefpre the war and it will be gven more so after the war so that it is something which cannot be ne- glected at this time. But under ex- isting restricéions some.chahges in the laws are necessary to bring about the best results. We have got to alter our laws so that the expor: business of this country can compete with that of other nations. Under existing conditions the Clay- ton-law forbids the manufacturers of this country from getting together on their foreizn sales. They are not al- lowed to have the same agents or to fix prices but that is what manu- facturers in other countries can do and are doing. This placed a handi- cap upon the foreign trade of this country which ought not to exist if we are going to extend that business. The Webb law wili remove the ob- | stacle and there ought not to be any j needless delay in its enactment. { THE TREATMENT OF NORWAY. Some idea of the wrongs ipflicted upon neutrais by QGermany is given by the official statement to the effect that Norway has lost 5000 sailors dur- ing the war, wifch was also acecom- penied by the announcement- that two more Norwegian steamers have been sunk with loss of life in both in- stances.. And Norway is not the only sufferer, for there is hardly a neutral nation that possesses shipping Which has not lost both lives and propérty, Norway, however, has been a heavy loser. Its rights have received no re- spect in spite of the fact that Ger- many has been receivinz much help in various ways from that country, Not only its sailors have been lost but German warships have partici- pated in the shelling of the boats ,which contained women and children as if they were 6f less comsequence than cattle. Under such conditions it is not sur- prising that there has been a grow- ing opposition to Germany and its methods in that Scandina: country. If in fact there is any cause for sur- prise it is that Norway has been will- ing to suffer such Josses, experiencing such destruction of life and property over and over asain without havi any regard shown for its protests without at least using every means to prevent Germany from gétting any help therefrom even thougl: the prof- iteers have been reaping a harvest. If, however, Norway has become harden- ed to such losses it simply remains for Germany to see how many eub- jects and ships of that country it can send to the bottom of the sea afd that according to the reports is what it is doing. EMBARGO ON EXPORT GOODS. When the railroads placed zn em- bargo upon the shipment of goods whieh are intended for export, bar- ring those which are intended for the use of this country in equipping and supplying its army abroad, it ungues- tionably did a wise thing. Such goods have been requiring a large part of the transportation facilities and con- tributing greatly to the comgestion whigh is being felt at :the present time. The lack of gufficient merchant ships, either those flying the United States flag or those belonging to en- tente or neutral nations, has been ®uch that it has been impossible to take such goods from the piers and terminals as fast as they have been received. The result is that there is now piled up awaiting removal hun- dreds and thousands of tons of such material. There is an insufficient ton- nage to meet the demands and yet theré are seores of .ships in our har- bors swinging idly at anchor because no asreement has heen reached re- garding their use and the government bas not seen fit to take them for the teriod of the war to overcome the congestion. To keep the raflroa,fls busy trnns- porting more of such goods ohly to have them contribute to the already congested lines and overcrowded piers is the height of folly. Thers are other things for which the railroads shouid be used such as the transportation of neccssities right here at home. The embargo on the goods :ntended for-exs port is therefors an excellent move in the right direction. A NEEDED REBUKE Col. W. H. Chatfield, chief of the army recruiting service for the dis- trict of New York, criticises a judge in the court of general scssions for allowing a prisoner before him who had pleaded guilty to petiy larceny to volunteer in the army or to risk further pro.ee‘]uon on indictments ¢harging larceny and forgery in the second denee Colone! Chatfield expresses . surprise tha: an American judge would do euch a thing and especially at & time like this, and declares that “The army is neither a reformatory nor a prison, but it is abody of honorable men and we intend thatit shall be maintained at ‘hat high standard. No man with a his- tory like this man Fox could get into the, service.” Time and again has this same po- sition been taken by army or navy officials because of the action taken by judges in attempting to get.those who haye violaied the law to . s one department or lnoth-r tgg DELIVERING TRUCKS OVERLAND Automobile trucks are going. to play a most important part in the trans- portation of the wWar necessities on the other side of the ocean. These are already heing comstructed inlarge numbers in this country and some are ready to b8 sent frém points_in the center of the country to ports of ship- ment ‘With the railroads cvercrowd- ed with other business the idea of sending these trucks overlund under their own power, instead of attempt- Ing to place an added burden upon the transportativn lines is an excel- lent one. This may be in the nature of an experiment but it is believed that it will prove so successful that the use of motor trucks for carrying merckan- dise between citles will be more gen- erally adopted in order to relieve con- gestion and to better satisfy urgent requirements. There will 2is6 be the chance to thoroushly break the trucks in, to test them out fully before they are sent abroad and to give those operating them a chance to’become more proficient in handling them. The trip of this frst lot of thirty cams, ecoming as it will from Detroit, will also bring into use the good roads which have been constructed in the severa] states. There are reaszons to anticipate that the results will show the afvisability of making all deliveries of such cars in this manner which will mean the releage of many railroad cars for handling other freight. It is cbrtainly the time to bring into play ali possi- ble agencies of transportation. e EDITORIAL NOTES.

Construct your kitchen door so that it will answer delivery boys for you with as much service and alacrity as if you had at least two butlers to stand at the threshold to receive the packages. Make the door on the plar f a cupboard. Have the lower half of the door divided into hinged panels, each of which when opened reveals a small compartment. These compart- :nents should be of various beled on the outside ‘groceries,” “laundry,” “daily “milk,” efc.
