Much has been said about the lack of Americanism in Milwaukee. It hzs Leen considered to be a center of pro- Germanism because it is a center of socialism and a large number of Germans whether naturalized or ene- my aliens reside there. It was shown in the recent election for senator in that state that there were over 100,- 000 who stood for the placing in the United States senate of a man who opposed the war and actuaily urged the opening of negotiations for peace, Such being the case it could hardly be expected that there would be a very enthusiastic response on the part of the people of that section to the many demands which have been made upon them for war .purposes. It is claimed, however, by one who does not iike to see an injustice done to Milwaukee that that city oversub seribed its quota in the Red Cross campaign 50 per ecent, that it went cver the top in the Red Ctoss mem- bership campaign 62 per cent., that in the K. of C. campaign its coniribu- tions were 33 per cent. more than sought at the cutset, that the first Liberty loan received an oversubserip- tion of 20 per cent. and the second 33 ver cent, and that in the appeal for Y. M. C. A. funds the amount receiv- ed was 15 per cent. in excess of the city's share, If that is the case Milwaukee, or a certain portion of its people ‘at least, are doing their part and doing it handsomely, and with that section where so much pro-Germanism is said to prevail responding in this man- ner it is time for some other sections, which are bragginz about their loy- alty and patriotism to see that they are not open to the charge of living in glass houses. INCREASED RAILROAD RATES. That different consideration is be- ing given to the needs of the rafiroads row that they have come under gov- ernment control is indicated by the increase in class freight and passen- wer rates to the New England roads. he need of better rates in order to raeet the increased cost of operation has been persistently put forth, but in view of the laying out which the interstate commerce commission in granting the increases gave to the old New Haven management, it is to be inferred that it was because of the wastage which took place under a former regime that the present had up to now been denied the increased revenue which it so greatly needed. The commission is unquestionably fustified in claiming that the money of the New Haven system was reck- essly and foolishly thrown away, and ruch dentmciation as it makes of the management for its conduct of the af- fairs of the road is.in accord with the revelations which were long ago brought to light. Just what good it does to keep harping upon that matter not entirely plain. It ‘is fully re- ized that those whose money has squandered have suffered full effects of that bad managem It is entirely plain to those dependent nupon the service of the road what it has meant to others, but that ought not to be allowed to stand in the way of he'p’n~ the new manazement em back onto its feet the peopls fnan 4 vita]ly eoncerned the B itions today and e ‘got tn he met others, and mpon the in- 5 but what The interstate commerce n must give the system fair 1 ven if the former manage- ment dldn't. THE SUCCESS AT ZEEBRUGGE. It is just what was expected whea the claim is put forth from Germany to the effect that the recent raid up- on Zeebrugge and Ostend proved to be a failure, that the channels are not blocked to the submarines and that the effort resulted in a German suc- cess. Strange as it may seem Ger- many has not claimed the credit for the sinking of the cement laden ships and causing them to rest where they do today. According to their way of looking at it it is impossible ® eonsider the operation a succese Bulletin Job Otfice 35-2 gmc-. 625 Maln Street. because those ports were not captured although that was not a part of the programme which the British authori- ties had planned. The very hfi however. that the British are not control of those ports today does not mean that their undertaking was not a success, Had those in charge of that ‘raid set out to capture those ports there are good reasons to believe, as the result of the attacks that were made, that it could have been accomplished. Unfortunately such was not contem- plated. They went as far as they had planned to go and when the work in which they were engaged was com- pleted .they retired, without having | suffered any -greater losses than had been expected. How far the resistance of the Ger- man foreces can be regarded as a success is pretty conclusively indi- cated by the fact that Viece Admiral Schroeder who was in command at that locality has been relieved of his charge there and transferred to an- other point. This was not because of his success but because he was-caught by surprise and the British were able to carry out their plan. THe very action of the German high command points out the British success, VEILED THREATS TO HOLLAND, Holland has unquestionably been getting an earache from-the German press as to what it should do net to bring down the wrath of Germany upon it. This is plainly indieated by the statement of the Taeglische Rund- schau of Berlin which has warned Holland against becoming a second Eelgium; that is to say a place from which Great Britain may attack Ger- many. The possibility of such 'a de- velopment, it says, cannot be disre- garded and warns the Dutch in their own interests to seek cover. Along the same line the Clerical Germania in declaring that the Ger- man demands upen Holland are in- tended to restore the balance of that country, which lately has shown it- self “too conciliatory toward the en- tente. Holland is not vet placed be- fore a final decision and by conscien- tious neutrality can still keep outside the war, but she must understand that an end will come some day to German patience, which already has heen tried to the uttermost.” Isn't it the fact, however, that it is the patience of Holland which 1s be- inz tried to the uttermost? Germany iz trying through a manifestation of might to force Holland to do its ne, to get it to depart from its 1 stand and to use Dutch terri- the same as it did Beldian terri- i tory for the purpose of getting greater advantages whereby it can strike at { the enemy. Such statements as have l.cen made by the press can only be ! rezarded as veiled threats against this | nentral neighbor which has been con- tributing gréatly to the support of Cermany's armies in the - war, anil Holland is certainly justified in op- posing the German schemes. SEEKING CONTROL OF RUSSIA, How uncertain the situation is in Russia teday is indicated by the re- port to the effect that a counter revo- lution has been started there and that the son of the former czar has heen put forth as the next ruler under the tplan to bring Russia back to the monarchial form of government. The chaotic conditions which prevail in Russia certainly invite such a move, There has been no head or tail to af- airs there for many months, and with. affaifs, going from had to worse the time is ripe for just such an en- deavor. The resistance which those in charge of the revolution have given to those who were directing affairs at Petrograd and later at Moscow has been so weak and unstable that they might well have anticipated a move to overthrow their control. Russia is far from united. Tt is possible to get op- position to most any move that is made there todav,-and there 1z no question but what Germany would like to see this uncertainty overcome ani the eczar's son placed on the thron-. even though his succession was re- nounced by Nicholas at his abdica- tion. ‘What there is back of the report, or how much the effort will amount to if it is a fact, is decidedly uncertain.. There are reasons to believe that Germany may be having a hand in it as a means of getting rid of the un certainty which now exists there and| opening a road by way of the secrot understandings for which it is famouvs to -bring all Russia around as an Belief exists that nething will come of such a move but that is somethin: which time will have to determine. eutr | EDITORIAL NOTES.

The resourcefulness of Germany can be depended upon to find an ex- cuse for going to war with Holland if it is considered necessary to take that step, but it might as well be un- derstood that it will not stop to make any formal announcement when the time comes. The move of the Shore Line electric road to provide better accommoda- tions for freisht and passengers to the submarine base is certainly in keeping with the needs at the pres- ent time. This with the ifilitary Highway completed should furnish the facilities which that important and growing locality requires. There was extreme indignation on Calroline’s face.

Mr. Editor: I am very glad some- one has the eourage to protest about the trolley conditions on Laurel Hiil, but think the noise part is the least of the trials the patrons have to en- dure. With the two streaks of.rust the trolley people call a street rail- road that seem to be broken in two every few feet, flat wheels and rattle of loose bolts, the pounding is so great that it is almost impossible for the patrons to keep their false teeth intact and I don’'t think it could be done if the plate was not rubber to absorb the shock. But really I sup- pose we should be thankful for what we have got for if we should lose it altogether we would miss it as bad as the sign, Norwich For Progress, that has gone from the coal bin and presume it will be put in the barn beside the Welcome to Norwich sign.

By Champ_ Carlk, Speaker of House of Reprgsentatives. Somebody has said that “duty” is the sublimest word in our language. Our supreme duty is to carry this war to a successful conclusion. ‘We have never been beaten in any war in which we have been engaged, and the Amer- ican people are determined that we shall not be ‘defeated in this titanic strugle. President Wilson and the Congress have solemnly dedicated to this cause and property—if needs be. The two most important things in war are men and money. The Con- gress wiil vote them from time to time in such numbers and such amounts as are deemed necessary to the accom- plishment of American purposes, Another large-bond issue is impend- ing and it is to be hoped that the bonds’ will be promptly subscribed for. Those of us who are over the military age or for anyv other reason are de- barred from fighting can pay, and it is our solemn duty to do so. I prac- tice what T preach and invested every dollar 1 had, and some I borrowed, in bonds. A failure of this new bond issue would injure our standing in the world as much as the loss of a great battle and wound our self-respect be- yond all surgery for we all must realize that no nation will jong survive or deserves to survive which does not protect all its citizens wherever they may be by land or sea. the STORIES OF THE WAR Conditions Improve in Paestine.

All through the liberated districts the British au- thoritiés have been afforded every possible agsistance by the people, and the British methods of dealing with thorny religious questions are in gen- eral approved by the religious com- munities, “The Moslems have shown an ex- cellent spirit: Recently the Military Governor of Meidel was invited to at- tend a religious ceremony by the Mo- hammedan notables of the - town,—a concession. In another case, a party of troops sent to collect arms from a village near Hebron was invited to take shelter from the cold of a rainy night in a village mosque.

The Americans are guests who are going to hunt some { time with us to learn the lay of the land where the wild beast operates and his habits and ours.

It has been stated that there was a lack of labor and of trans- portation fatilities. It is not known that the seriousness of that condition has been unrelieved during the months that have lapsed for its consideration and anticipation. It is time. in other| words, that an up-to-date explanation | be given for the distressing hint that ! the return of cold weather will not find a material improvement in the general situation.
