TIME TO CLEAN UP. is with no lttle those who have shown an interest mproving the appearance of the city on previous years have made no plans surprise or conducting a clean up week this pring. Tor several years the last week in May has been designated for such an organized effort and there can be no question but what it has accom- plished much good. As the result hereof, it is highly probable that many who had previously given little ught thereto have been so favor. v impressed with the merit of such wo are carrying it out prompting, but it is glaringiy nevertheless if a trip of in- that the idea has that could be ex- is need of such a of rubbish and places attractive 1 for the aesthetic the standpoint of eaith. There is great need of removing the breeding places of flies and mosqui- toes and thus checking these carriers of disease. The removal of the de- bris, decayed material, garbage, tin cans and the like ought not to be neglected. This of course all goes with a cleaning up. Perhaps it h been felt that with s0 many other activities the clean up week could be allowed to pass with- ing evil and not | to be out attention this vear. Such a break is hardly warranted. There is in- creased value attached to the con- tinuation of every good effort. We ought not to neglect conditions at home which need attention, so that whether there is an organized effort or not the cleanup should take place, it being remembered of course that it it is not done and conditions war- rant it, the health officer has the t to order it done. THE TROUBLE IN AUSTRIA. A a Hungary's troubles have jeen the cause of much uneasiness for “mperor Charles to say nothing of Germany. There has always been dif- ficulty in satisfving many in that untry of mixed races. Since the atry into the war and the recogni- tion of the fact that Austria is more and more coming under the thumb of Germany the trou has increased. In addition to these old racial trou- bles there has sprung up a feeling of inrest among the people in different ions because of the burdens which e been placed upon them by the ar. Austrians have been suffering more than the world has been allowed » know. They have undergone. great rivations because of a steadily z food supply and the desire or peace has bes owing stronger month by month. The Slavs are open- isplaying the spirit of revolt apd recognition of this by the government is plairly indicated by the intention o so cut up Bohemia that their po- 1 power will be greatly reduced. om all indications such a move not going to stamp out the trouble. ther will it prove to be like add- ct do oke being ti necks. These interior troubles unquestionably acting as a deterrent to the opening of an offensive by the Austrian forces on the Italian front. They are sequences of more desertions in the ranks of the army, all of which indi- cates that the troubles in the country where the war started are tending to- ward serious consequences for the central powers. SPAIN AND THE U-BOAT. Just now interest is directed to the innouncement that the German sub- marine U-39 has appeared in a Span- ish harbor seriously damaged as the result of ome or more encounters it has had with a warship or an armed steamship. That it wae engaged in the ruthless warfare for which those “oats have an undesirable reputation is to be inferred. Whether it got off casier than its adversary is not known but it is safe to say that it has béen responsible for the sinking of vessels without warning and the taking of lives or at least subjecting the human car- they ‘htened about their fuel to the flames for by such anj realize that the German]| are | unwilling to risk the con-| go to perils which were unjustified. This underwater boat bears the same number as that which is reputed @ bave sent the Lusitania to the bot- 2 large boat it may uw been given the number of th e pioneer in the mur- t there is no telling been responsible for the sinking of one or more of the Spanish ships which have been de- stroyed within a few months without Jjustification, even as the Lusitania was attacked. The appearance of the submersible in a Spanish harbor, seeking help from a country which has been so glaringly mistreated by such an agen- cy, créatés a quandary as to whether it is to remain there for the period of the war or whether it has gone there for repairs and plans to continue its operations as soon as they are com- vleted. "Spaln has had its experience with a German submarine escaping after being intermed and it should guard much more carefully the action of this one dnd its crew. NEW SELECTIVE SERVICE REGU- LATIONS. The new draft regulation which would give authority to the presi- dent to see that all men of draft age who are able bodied must work or fizht. and the work to mean some useful occupation, is in keeping with the effort to secure the best resulis trom all those who stay at home as well as those who go forth to battle. While this applies solely .to those within the draft age, 21 to 31 inclu sive, it Tollows along lines which hay been established by legislation in se eral states for the purpose of solving labor- problem. In New York, ew Jersey and Maryland all able bodied men between the ages of 18 2nd 50 must be employed in some necessary work or must take the consequences of the law. These state regulations are intended to put a stop 1c large amount of idleness which s. Conditions today require that everyone should be making the best of his time and ability, whether lie possesses wealth cr not. It is a irect blow at those who are getting heir living throuzh channels involv- vice, employment which oniy non-essentiais but h should be eliminated. it is zlong similar lHnes that Pro- vost Marshal Crowder has acted in drawing the amendment to the selec- tive gervice regulations. Those in the draft age were expected to aid direct- v in the conduct of the war. If thatis means those onfisied to their employment, or ile it is thus confired. the service is the most necessary showid 'm rendered and there can be na ques- but what those invoived as well 1s,.others will e of the recom- mended change. There should be enough others to t care of approved but non essential jobs. these SHIPPERS AND CONSIGNEES CAN HELP. ‘While every effort is b2ing made to improve the tmrfipor‘.atiqn needs of this country by getting the raiiroads under ome control, by providing new equipment ané by increasing the fa- cilities or making full use of the wa- terways, it is perfectly apparent that President Pearson of the New Haven system has hit the nail on the head in his communication te the shippers and consignees which points out the pecessity of prompt loading and un- loading of the cars. It is but proper that he should call for a change in the conditions when it is shown that the disposition is again being mani- fested to thke more than the neces- sary time for such work. When cars arrive at their destination and the person cr congern to whom they are consigned permits them to stand on the tracks unioaded, it can be appre- ciated that a serious handicap is being placed in the way of the raiiroads when this exists at many destinations. It makes no difference if demurrage is charged and collected, the payment of that charge does not make the car: ailable and freight cannot be moved if loaded cars are ailowed to stand on the sidetracks. There is therefore great need for full cooperation on the part of ship- pers and consignees with the raiiroads. This was realized during the winter but the condition still exists, and when it is stopped it not only aids the roads but it means improved raiiroad ser- vice. Those who are expecting the best from the railroads should see that they are not standing in the way of getting it. EDITORIAL NOTES. Many a city owner is finding out that his neighbor’'s garden is no place to raise his chickens. If Norwich is going to go over the top with its Red Cross fund it is time to do some hustling. The man on the corner says: It is well to remember that you cannot save daylight without using it. Consider what the Red Cross is do- ing and you will not refrain from supporting it at every opportunity. Norway and Spain are sfill asking auestions of Germany. They ought to know by now that it is a waste of time and paper. It is to be sincerely hoped that the provision of automobiles for the vet- erans in the Memorial day parade will not be overlooked. The responsibility for the German drive now that it has not succeeded is p\"r‘ed upon General Ludendorff. Had been a success it would have been the kaiser who ordered it. The weatherman has heen giving copious evidence of the fact that his attermtion has been called to the fact that he has in the recent past been giving too little attention to the needs of the war gardens. The German people are said to fear that the Rheinish cities will be ruin- ed by the allied raids. They appar- ently think they should escape what their kaiser has inflicted upon Bel- gium and northern France. The prospects of an early Austrian offensive are indicated but it should be remembered that it would be im- possible for anything of the kind to take place while Emperor Charles is visiting Bulgaria and Turkey. It would be interesting to know whether the mishaps in the aerial mail service were in any way caused by the operators’ attention being dis- tracted by the postcards. The German aviator who declared that he did not see the sign of ‘the hospital he bombed was as blind as the commander of the submarines who refused to respect the hospital ships and neutra? flags. 1f the German ruthlessness the world, its ubflity to organize prop- agandas of every sort and to work secretly manifests a quality most na- tions lack. The military leaders “Over There” tell us Americans Wwe talk too much. The English surprised the enemy with their tanks; and that the Germans surprised the Entente with poison gas, liquid fire and 70- mile guns. The Germans have found the Americans at the front their equal when they expected raw recruits; and they should not be put into a state .of expectancy concerning our inventions for use on land or sea. Publieity is a poor cat when it forewarns, which is to fore-arm, the enemy. Instead of telling what we are going to do it is wiser to follow the German method of letting one’s enemies find this out after it has been accomplished. The blow is most staggering which is un- announced and unexpected. There is one thing Billy Sunday seems to have been specially designed for, and that is to demonstrate the difference between presenting truth pointedly and scholarly—the superior- ity of vim to finish. It is surprising how much more value is put upon forms of expression than upon . the power of them. Billy Sunday knows you cannot stir an old hypocrite up to a consciousness of his vileness by calling him “a poor deluded sinner.” It is not popular or scholarly to call things by their right names; but he leaves no doubt in the minds of men that it is effective; and the results of his campaigns show that he moves the masses as no other man of his day can, and loosens up the purse strings as no other evangelist ever did. A bold and truthful man can never be less than a star in any place where the world needs him. | notice the Metropolitan press is inclined to glorify the baby carriage and to recognize it as the carriage of future hope—for no babies mean no soldie Instead of wanting the baby carriages kicked off the walk we are told a more “enlightened policy” is b ng pursued and the woman with the y carriage is being invited to pa- lade in the parks for prizes, the car- riages decorated with the national colors, and their mothers are joyousiy commended as hustlers for the Lib- erty Loan. Norwich doesn't deny to the baby carriages the right of way, and the number of them to be seen upon the streets on any warm, sunny afternoon leaves no doubt our future is secure. There are a few aged “turks” the baby cannot delighi, but from most of us they draw out ad- miration and a smile. It is the glori- fied baby carriage ich contains all is great and glorious for the re- of the future. The greatest sentence ever writien |in any language is the Golden Rule. No twelve words put together ever ex- pressed so much of love and peace and hope as these—no twelve words ever meant so much of good, of practical value as'these express, and man ac- cepts them as a commendable motto and hangs them upon the wall, or reserves them in memory to cherish instead of tryving to make them prac- tical. This expression of divine law has been made such a football of that the 20th century Golden Rule is ex- pressed in half the words, which are sufficient to express man's false re- lation to them. “Do him gdick or he'll do you!” The real Golden Rule means “Peace on earthy—goodwill to men!” -The up-to-date parody is practically illustrated by today's world conditions. The Devil could not keep the parod up with more zeal than do some pro- fessional Christians. the nicknames which have Of all resulted from the irritations of the war, pernaps “the Beast of Berlin” is the most commonplace, while Brit- -annia, the grandmother of Satan,” fireq as straight as a loon's leg at John Bull from Germany. is the most classic. In considering this the Lon- don Observer remarks that this ‘“is perhaps the most inglorious con- jecture in relationship since St. Terence bribed Paula with the title of | ‘the mother-in-law of God' to con- sent to her daughter's becom a nun.” From any point of view this is valuable information. and now if we could only iearn who was the grandfather of Satan. There used to be many Satans once, for this proper name among the Hebrews be- fore Job discovered Satan as a per- sonal adversary. We have never been taught Satan had any genealogy, but if he had a grandfather and parents, Germany seems capable of supplying all the Satanic connections. In these days it is not surprising to learn from abroad what is taking place at home, or to learn from home what is taking place abroad. A labor rep- resentative told a London audience recently that in one great American state 14,000 schools had each been given a war stunt to grow an acre of beans; and the London Chronicle commenting upon this juvenile project said: “This splendid patriotic ex- ample of American children might well be followed by some of our own rural schools.” If the school children of one American state grow 14,000 acres of beans, what an amount of produce the school children of the whole 48 states will produce during the summer months? The American boys and girls are not only growing crops, but loaning Uncle Sam millions of dollars to promote the war. Juve- nile America is just now setting the whole world a good example. The world is discoverirg that a boy can play a man’s part much earlier in life than is usually supposed. A French boy of 16 got into the army, distinguished himself at the front and was mentioned in general orders for bravery as a first-class soldier, and was a corporal before the government would register him as a soldier. An English lag of the same age donned a uniform and surrendered to the officers in place of his brother who was an absentee, and was sent right to the front trenches in France, went “over the top” and kilied several Germans before it was discovered that he was a mere boy eurreptitiously filling a man’s place. He was sent home-and vrosecuted for his deception, but the English judge before whom his case was heard praised him for his valor and sent him home to his parents. The small boy is ecapable of playing a full man's part before he is suspected of having the ability. The golden robin and the wren ar- rived a week earlier this year than last.The call of the first oriole was heard on, the afternoon of May 6th, and the first wren on the morning of May T7th: and I noticed the swift's cleaving the upperair on the evening of the 14th. The gleam of the robin among the blossoms in mid-May is as constant as the twinkle of the stars in the heavens at night. The little wren is regarded in some countries as a bird of bad omen; and is the only bird in creation that has been accred- ited with uttering “five notes to wanst!” He is a loud and attention- compelling triller, and if his song is not regarded by cultivated ears as musical it is certainly gleeful. We prefer the wren in the garden to any other bird and he has tenanted with ofBink. — Our feathéred helpers in the war food supply are all here and at work; and; while noting their efficiency, we are taking our usual late May inven- tory with the aid of observing farmers, rural carriers, trout fishermen, and the young scouts for Liberty bonds and | Red Cross. In this way we get fairly at the species represented, but use rauch guesswork as to the number of individuals. There was clearly a dimi- nution in the army of warblers and es going north, or we were not in the paths of migration. Relatively as compared with last year's lists, we form close conclusions on many of our summer residents. We find robins, mashers, catbirds, bobolinks, clie. winks, song sparrows, and whippoor wills, as plenty here as last season, with a noticeable increase in king. birds, barn and eave swallows and redwings. There is a decrease in wa- cups, tanagers, orioles, mournisg doves, cuckoos, house phoebes, chest- ed flycatchers, tree swallows, and humming birds. It is easy to note the abundance or falling off of hummers by watching the Howering-currant bushes—the hummers’ favorite flower —in full blosSom on their arrival. Just as easy on the trumpet vVines in the fall to tell the number locally of the females and young—the males of that time being in evidenc Orioles are giving us not a little un- easiness. Last year there were fif- teen nests between our place and the village, and so far this season but six pairs have began housekeeping. Clos- ing the 1917 season we ‘rah across three nests containing dead unfledged voung. We could not then account for this mortality. The nastlings #suld not have been led by cating cater- pillars poisoned yby arsenate of lead for there were no caterpillars. It has been suggested that they sta account of the absence of caterpi usually their chief food. Agein this year there are nu caterpillar nests or elm tree beetles, so w will watch closely any further change for the worse in the affairs of this showy and most useful bird. The well-being of the swallows must also be mare closeiy iooked after.

The canvassers report just Two cock pheas- ants in the neighborhood, a sprinkling of grouse, but no one has seen or heard a quail. Like our early and late peachbuds and beloved roses, and the noxious but beautifil sheep-lautei, Bobwhite—our best #tiend afleld— could not withstand the vigor of the past winter. The observers all speak of the well known chestnut blight, the less known pine blight, and now of the new and serious blight that has stzuck the mountain laurel, killing the Llossoms, dimming the gidss, and owning the leaves in the special haunts of the black-throated blue- warbler. Northern goshawks killed full-grown fowl on seven or eight farms nearby, while our three buteos red-shounldered, red-tailed and the{ broadwings—did not make a single poultry-yard raid. If you can conceive of a World's War Among the Birds, you may recall a few appropriate fighting names: I group those that occur to me in the following prose ryme: Adjutant, litile corporal, trumpeter swan; man-o'war bird and frigate pelican.. British flamingoes in full dress parade, wild geese wedges in battle-order arraved. -Rifle bird, shel- drake, the piccolo Kildees, the swiftly sniping fierce privateer.

The profiteer is the real thorn in the flesh in all countries. Sunday Morning Talk “l SHOULD WORRY.” It is recorded of Bismarck, the Ger- man chancellor, that he wore all through his life a little iron ring upon which was engraved in Russian char- acters the word ‘‘Nichevo!” In days that were tempestuous and black, he often glanced at the ring, smiled, and repeated its advise which, in English, is this: ‘“Never mind, don’t worry The story of the ring is worth re- telling, because it throws consider- able light on contemporary events. When Bismarck, as a young man, en- tered the diplomatic service, his first post was at Petrograd. Most of h! journey thither had to be made | sleighs, since Russia had few ways. The journey was a rough one and full of adventures, but nothing bothered the driver. When there was difficulty in getting horses, the man merely smiled blandly and said, ‘Nichevo!” When the sleigh toppled into a ravine, he pulled himself out of the snow, still grinning cheerfully, and muttered, hevo At last, after various minor mishaps, one of the horses fell and broke his leg. Here, surely, thought Bismarck, was a serious predicament. But the whis- kered moujik refused to be jarred out of his prenatural calm. He simply murmured, “Nichevo! Bismarck got a shoe from the horse as a memento and, on reaching Petrograd, had a ring made from it. This little souvenir was, as he often testified, a source of comfort and quieiing suggestion all through his life. It is in this “don’t care” spirit that Russia is facing its terrible troubl of the present da: Anarchy such asi would reduce any other nation to de- spalr finds the Slav careless.

When a craft is mreming down stream to the drop of the falls, it is time for the crew to wake up. And when a human life is steadily drifting toward the rocks, it is time to chuck the “don’t worry” philosophy and begin to worry —to some purpose.

They are suffering for a rood charge of moral dynamiie. ‘9 evploded in their immediate vlcinlty Some of the doctor’s paticnts jecd ives, , butj others need stimulants.

OTHER VIEW POINTS Hartford is not a puritanical com- munity. It is liberal and broad- minded, but the majority of the citi- zens do not want what is designated as a wide open town.
