NORW\GH !ULLETIH, FI\lDlY MAY ‘IQ. 1918 A VALUABLE MELP. ‘While improved results are to be anticipated in other directions in the way of shipbuilding it is impossible to everlook what is being accomplish- ed in the construction of wooden ves- sels. Opinions have differed greatly as to the advisability of putting forth great efforts in behalf of wooden ships but when it is announced that five such cargo cArriers are to be Jaunched this week from onme section of the country where this sort of construction is being carried on and | where it is assured that there will be 1901, RVErR00 «..ieeeeesochons Mfl 1905, average May 4, 1918.

Next month the annual ci will take place and this is the vear when the choice of a mavor is to be included in the contest. In view of the fact that Mayor Brown will mot 3 be a candidate for reelection it will mean that regardless of which party 18 successful Norwich will have a new mayor. There has been much accom- plished for the benefit of the city by the present administration. A policy in behalf of improved streets and bet- ter sidewalks has resulted in perma- ment betterments which are bound to be of lasting value 40 Norwich. These with the other good things which have been accomplished are not going to be overlooked by the community in selecting those who will direct the business of the city during the next year, or in ehoosing the head of the city sovernment for the next two Yyears. The coming election Is an important one, as in fact all elections are. The aim should be #0 place in office those whom it is believed will make the best city fathers. For the approval of the voters the republicans In a caucus which was marked by unanimous action and complete harmony have selected -a ticket which will doubtless get the careful consideration of the voters, At its head has been placed a man who is well known for his long residence here and his good record and along + with him have been named men who will unquestionably have the confi- dence of their fellow cltizens. They &re conscientious citizens whose pur- pose will be, if elected, to give the city the high type of business admin- istration which is needed and which ought to be demanded and several have already demonstrated their de- termination in this direction during their term in office. Their future service along with that of their fel- low members on the ticket rests with the republican and the non partisan voters of the city. THE SHEEP INDUSTRY. For the purpose of getting at the real conditions which surround the sheep raising Industry in this country and to stimulate interest in the bus- fness a.committee of the United States Cbamber of Commerce has been conducting an investigation and i the conclusion it has arrived at is that the eheep industry in the United States must either adjust itself to the changed economic conditions of this : day or continue the decline which has been its portion in years past. All sections of the country have felt the effects of the defline, The east has experienced tremendous ¥ losses because there were greater ad- vantages in the west, and now the decline has struck on in the west be- cause of the growth of dry farming and the reduction of the grazing range. Without considering the pos- sibilities which still exfst in all sec- tions this decline has been allowed to [ continue so that in the last 13 years the number of sheep in the country decreased from .S0 per capita to A6 i per capita. According to the needs : of the country for mutton and wool the movement should have been in the other direction. To stop this decline in the produc- tion of sheep the committee recom- mends the use of sheep grazing of the agriculturally worthless and cheap cut-over timberlands of the north, morthwest and south, the more gen- eral and systematic raising of sheep on farms, whers sheep raising has Deen hitherto neglected because of frontier competition, and the contin- . med use of the great ranges of the west to their full capacity. The committee is unquestionably in the belief that it can be done if ‘the proper amount of thought and stady is given to it. The east still Bas great opportunities in this Not a few are realizing it, tendency even in New Eng. is to the ralsing of more sheep the securing of legislation which eliminate the doz menace.

In 1912 it is claimed the states of the Mississippi lost sheep which were killed by If the needed increase in in- ) three more put into the water within the mext ten days and possibly a doubling of this week's number be- fore the end of the month it cannot fail to be appreciated that something Is being gained by the activity in the wooden ship yards. It is entirely probable, as has been contended so oftem, that the wooden ships will not give the se that steel ships will, that they will not be available for service in the war zone because they will not have the speed that is required to keep out of the way of the submarines, but it is at the same time apparent that we are in need of each and every kind of a vessel that we can get. The trans- portation needs are such that these vessels can be put inte immediate eervice and render great assistance on routes outside of the submarine zones, thus leaving the steel ships and the speedier ones for the more important service. The demand has been for ships, ships and more ships and it is per- fectly evident that the attention which Is being given to the construction of wooden ships is contributing mate- rially to the need, for while the out- put referred to concerns only one lo- cality where this work is being done others are making good progress and will steadily contribute to improving conditions. By the building and utill- zation of wooden vessels we are get- ting the benefit of resources which would otherwise be neglected. In the meantime with as good and better results being obtained in the building of steel ships production ought to measure up very soon to the possibilities and needs of this great nation. UP TO OLD TRICKS. Regardless of all the protests which have been made to Berlin by the Spanish government the torpedoing of Spanish ships by German submarines continues. The latest victim is the steamship Luisa, the captain of which has reported that his vessel wis sunk in broad daylight when the Spanish flag was flying so that the comman- der of the underwater-boat.could not help seeing it. It is a well known fact of course that Germany does not intend to curb the ruthlessness of the subma- rine warfare one iota more than it is forced to. Spain has called Ger- mary’'s attention to the fact that it is a neutral nation and that its rights on the high seas should be respected and that its property and the lives of its subjects are getting no more con- sideration than they would if they were belligerents. Spain is in the same position th: this nation was while maintaining neutrality. Its predicament is no different than that of Norway, nearly 1000 ships of which country have been sent to the bottom and several hun- dred of its people have been killed or drowned as the result. Tt is in fact suffering the same as did Argentina and other South American nations whose rights as neutrals received no respect and where the privileges ex- tended to German representatives were taken advantage of to the detri- ment of those countries. It is much the same sort of a situation as pre- vails in Holland and Denmark and in Russia. Germany is determined to respect no nation which is not its ally. If it can not force mations to do its bid- ding through regular diplomatic chan- nels and by propaganda it is going to do it by forcéy and just as long as they tolerate such treatment it is simply encouraging a continuance. Germany has endeavored with more or less success to force Spain to take an unfriendiy attitude to the allies. It has ‘succeeded in checking trade be- tiveen Spain and this country and the holding up of goods destined for Gen- eral Pershing's army from Spain. How long it can continue to violate the neutral rights of Spain without caus- ing more than a protest to be sent to Berlin remains to be seen, but it cer- tainly cannot continge much longer if Spain is going to maintain its self respect. EDITORIAL NOTES. Strange how a slight change in the temperature causes o much talk about sumrher togs. According to their latest gas offer- ing the Germans are giving the Brit- ish something to sneeze at. Find a home gardener and he ought to be able to direct you to a model garden even at this season of the year. When a Sinn Feiner declares that the Irish in America ehould wake up it would appear that it was time to heed his own alarm clock. The man on the corner says: Un- fortunately some people attempt to concentrate their whole effort on get- ting out a blueprint of the home gar- den. When the Germans admit losing 1200 in the fight at Seicheprey there is little wonder that they are chang- ing their minds regarding America’s relp. There is no use feeling that every- thing poasible has been done until the next Liberty loan comes around; there's plenty to be done in the mean- sime. From the trouble whieh Austria is having with the Slave the new offen- sive may have to be used at home instead of being thrown against the Italians. When an officer declares that the soldiers are safer in the trenches than in a hospital he knows what consider- ation the Germans have for mercy stations. Particular care is being taken to see that Ukrainia fulfils its obligations to Germany, but Germany's obliga- tions to the Ukraine do not of course amount to anything, Trotzky declaves that Russia needs an army. A few, more months of the kind of treatment it is getting from ny and it it to have no “Why the gloom?’ inquired the Woodlawn man with” considerable in- terest. The gentleman from Hyde Park sighed. “My brow is furrowed.” he explained, “because my home life is not happy. I am a miserable igin. There is no living in_ the house ¢ith Imogene these days Without the con- stant exercise of Christian . forbear- ance to a degree which is beyond me. She—she strolled ‘out into the back yard one of these recent warm days and—and discovered some last year's parsnips beginning to grow!” “The catastrophe,” said the Wood- lawn man, “fails to move me!” “You always were callous,” his friend told him. ‘“Since she discover: ed that parsnip we have had no peace. First J had to go out in the back yard to look at the parsnip and thereby ruin a shine, because the ground was still soggy. I had no interest what- ever in the parsnip, because it is a vegetable I do not eat. Moreever, par- snips are not eatable ‘when they start up in the spring”after a winter in the ground. ‘But all this had no effect on my wife,” continued the gentleman from Hyfle Park. A “She regardede the slllx thing with 'great delight. She sai now she really felt that spring Had come—and we must get busy. I have noticed that when a wife uses the term ‘we’ it means ‘him’ In this case it meant that I was to make an assault on the garden tools. Then when I had wrenched them forth from their merited repose and looked like a cross between a coal heaver and a bolshevik I was to go out and, standing ankle deep in the mire, upheave mo- ther earth. “I invariably catch a cold in my head and grime up my hands, so that for weeks my clients regard me as a man unalterably opposed to soap and water. So to ward off this program I tried to convinte Imogene, not exactly that she really was not seeing a parsnip grow- ing, but that it was too early for gar- dening. I always try that, hoping that something will happen—maybe my brother, who has a western ranch and never visits me in the spring, will come to see us and be delighted to spade up the garden or that the doc- tor will tell me my back won't stand it or that we shall be left a million dollars and go away for the summer GLEANED FROM FOREIGN EXCHANGES The ordeal plight worst tragedy, apart from the of our fighting men, Is the of people who lived in placcs caught in the flame of war. Out leul and Merville and Estaire out of scores of hamlets and farm- steads which all of us out here knew in havpier days they are coming far back in farm carts and gigs.and don- key carts, on bicycles and afoot, with wheelbarrows and perambulators, on British gun wagons and in British lor- ries.

They drive their cattle before them, and vesterday 1 saw great herds of cows coming back from the country round Bailleul.

To the last moment some of these people stay in their villages . under fire, standing about among our stecl- hatted men with no covering to their braided hair, until at last they know they must go or die. So now they are moving away from the battle zone, cared for as far as possible by the French and British authorities. % These men of ours have exceeded ail their previous records of valour, though God knows they . have filled three years and more with acts of courage.—London Chropjcle. If the badger shot at Heston on sus- picion of having preyed on a fowl run ‘was guilty he was of an exceptionally enterprising character, for as a ruls this animal is too slow and too lazy to carry out such raids. He prefers to find his food nearer his home than the domestic fowl is likely to be. lie occasionally feeds on chicken, it is true, but that is generally when he has a fox as part tenant of his bur- Tow, for then the invariable contract seems to be as close observers tell us, that in lieu of rent the active ten- ant shares the proceeds of his poultry un(:l other raids with his sluggish land- lord. Once upon a time Mr. Carnegic wished to cross a mountain in Penn sylvania, but lacked a guide. A hefi looking lad, a grocer’'s errand boy, of- fered to pilot him for a dollar. The ironmaster tendered half the sum. The boy keld out for the full price and Mr. Carnegie yielded. “Not that t' job was worth it, but because I had to get to the other side of the moun tain, and Charles M. Schwab was the one to take me there.” Now the allics have to get to the other side of a shipbuilding mountain, and the samc Charles Schwab is to do the suidng. but this time without a quibble as to price. The secret of pro-German organiza- tion in Italy has achieved a master- piece of cunning in its labors to un- dermine the morale of the nation. So- called “occulist circles” have been formed by enemy agents in ‘the larg- est Italian towns, which Influential ;&eop]e of the district are induced to join. The German agents who organize these reunions receive secret informa- tion of coming enemy moves and daily spell the news ‘out by table-rapping in the guise of a spirit message. When events a few days later confirm the apparent prophecy, confidence in the supposed occult agencies is natur- ally increased, and the German in- struments use’ this to spread by the same means alarming reports about the weakness and defects of the al- lies, the alleged fdithfulness of Eng- land, and the inevitable triumph of Germany in the war. The recent bombardment of Naples by a Zeppelin was foretold In this way at a sham seance, where the bomb- ing of a large Italian “maritime town" was prophesied by “inspired” agencies some days before it occurred. To the presence of native Chinese labor companies working on the roads in France we owe additions to our war slang which ‘are percolating to “Blighty.” “Bon” and “napeo,” which have by now been worked to death are being replaced by Angilo-French- Chinese substitutes, to_wit, “Good-a- 1a” and “Finish-a-1a” It seems to be Children Cry FOR FLETCHER'S YET IMOGENE WAS RIGHT reminds us how at Flodden “the Scot- tish foe has fired his tents,” and how he charged dowa hill under cover of the murk.
