For about a New England has been working ving under a ereatly reduced cual supply, which in- cludes both anthracite and bituminous. Early this spring an appeal was made to the people to get in their supply for next winter early and there has been displaved a generous disposition | on the part of the people to abide by the advice, In spite of theif willing- ness it has been found that it was impossible to get the -coal and even though this is the season.of the year when it should be moving in the createst quantities Ngw. England has heen receiving far below what it ouzht to be getting. Such a situation called “for the pro- mulgation of a different policy by the fuel administration. ‘The problem .of rroducinz and delivering ‘more. coal being in the hands of the government improved conditions were to be ex- pected. Promises have been = made that there would be a change for the better, but lttle improvement bas’ been shown. Now a mew plan is to be put into operation- and under < new ruling New England is scheduled to receive ten and a third million tons of anthracite or about 25 per océm. more than it received @uring the year 1916-17. . To get this supply the supply for the west‘and south is be- g eliminated and that to the north- st and Canada curtailed.

This was the bifd which re- minded the Pilgrim fathers of the fatherland and from their love they called him robin red-breast because he reminded them of the bird at home which haunteq the garden and the orchards; but scientific bird men have since discovered that robin red-breast is a red-breasted thrush. He'is a true American and may have been an inhabitant of New BEngland as long as the eagle or the owl. Robins were greeting the dawn and singing in the evening twilight before thé American Indian ook possession of this part of the contifent. They be- come attached to localities and nest in the same place for years. One pair of robins nested on the running-board of a dove-cot upon the westerly end of a barn for 22 years: and they at- tain an age of 35 years, it is claimed. And John Muir found the robin in he High Sierras piping clear]y in_the up- per mountain meadows this message “Fear not, fear not, only love is here!” As to the robin’s musical ability there are a variety of opinions but a bird lover who has heard him sing the year round from New York to Florida is sure his list of songs is greater and sweeter than those of.the mock- bird. It has been said tif§t “the infant in the cradle is the only true -democrat.” Democracy is like religion, something very much praised, but very little prac- ticed: Equality. is the charm of democ- racy, and-the charm of it is usually missing where it is loudest professed. Rousseau told the world that if -the people were gods they would be gov- erned_democratically, but that a gov- ernment of equality did ~not seem suitable for man. --The democratic idlea is worth all it has cost in strife and energy, and, this country has at- tained ‘nearest to a realization of the idea; but some of our people think more of their lineage than they do of the fact that the Son of God is their friend. Our democratic creed has been well’stated by an eminent divine— that every man shall not be on a-level with every other, but that every one shall have libert¥, without hindrance, to be what God made him. This lib- erty we have to constantly protect in spite of all our professions. Do you love to ride through the ‘country in apple-blossom-time?

We talk Joud about courage and seem te forget-that trust and confidence and integrity are at the foundation of na- tions and come before courage in de- fense. Courage may be half the bat- tle, but one's confidence in ability to win is its equal. Courage is a good word to contemplate with seriousness. Courage has been well’ defined for twenty centuries. Confucius told tI world that “to see what was right an not to do'it, is want of courage;” and we are sneaking out of little duties every day, but eount ourselves among the coufigeous. How often we mis- place ourselves and other's misplace well as physical, and_he is greatest| who is possessed of both.

It is only what one might expect, judging by our knowledge of German methods as revealed in the last few years— méthods which, as we now realize, have been religiously followed by gen- erations of Germans in their set pur- pose of pillaging the world. Among the most powerful and if- cessantly active organjzations for carrying out these schemes of thé rob- ber ‘Teutons have been the German staemship _ companies with their agencies all over the world. Their malign intrigues have been unscrupu- Ious, mm-'ed and hfied by tnlllafltsd means - placed at their disposal by Berlin.: That all European nations have known of these plots, or at least have snuffered from them, is now be- yond question. That we in America have been the foolish dupes of these cuning thieves, many people are still too simple to eredit. i A forceful presentation of the case against the German steamship com- panies, and the whole Germarn system of espionage, propaganda and deliber- by Theodore Kahn - shows that the German steamship organiza- tion has been from its very beginning a part of the German military mactiine, “It has shaped itself,’ se says, ‘in the different countries and conspired slowly and for some decades in silence and secrecy, employing for its pur- pose in every country the most monu- mental intriguers of a particularly heinous type. The offices of the Ger- man steamship eompanies were centers of the German espionaze system. The Agents of the German lines were drflled and directed from a mili. tary establishment controlled by an ir- responsible Government. “Their -meshes of imperial prop- aganda and subsidies spread to all countries. Many of the dupes of their activities regarded the news set afloat by them as gospel truth.

Because we are not ‘dependent does not in any sense make us independent, for we know not at any moment of what class we shall ne€d assistance. It has been a thousand timles demonsirated that “the greatest man living may stand in need of the meanest as much as the meanest does of him.” The humblest workers put in the founda- tion for the greatest structures, and it is the foundations which secure their greatness, for without them they would be impossible. The luxury of millions are founded upon the poor and industrious—the supports of great- ness of every character are usually hidden from sight. The toil and the obedience of the many makes the autocrat possible. Sunday Moming Talk o “AND THEN SOME” President Garficld used to tell story of how, when a freshman Williams college, he looked out night to see a light burning in the at one the room of his only competitor for fitst place in mathematics. Observing that the light was kept burning a little longer than he was wont to keep his, he determined to invest a little more time each day himself in preparing for next day’s recitation, and, by do- ing so, eventually passed above his rival. Mr. Garfield added the valuable ob- servation: “I have since learned that it is just ench a margin, whether of time, or uitention, or earnestness, of power, that wins in every battle, great or small.” Common experience forces one to the same conclusion. Conspicuous success in any human undertaking is apt to be conditioned on doing a little more than the law requires. The or- dinary man is content to do his duty and to meet his legal obligations. The cxtraordinary man does a little more than is required by the rules, and goes a little farther than he is compelled to It is the last ounce of energy put forth that sends one runner in_across the line ahead of another.

In the offices of Ballin and Heinecken nearly every plot for German expansion has been hatched. “Many of the different patriotic na- tional religious and commercial o cieties, naval léagues, leagues of truth bowling clubs, singing societies, etc throughout Galacia, Bukowina an European Russia. have been secret offi- ces of the German steamship com- panies where progaganda was carried on under the protection of national law with the intention to influence law makers and rulers. . “An important factor in the league of these societies were the many Aus- trian Army officers who have been sta- tioned in_thé border towns of Galicia and the Bukowina. The greater part of ‘Austrian y officers are bur- dened with heady debts. Many of the garrisons situated on the borders of Austria and Russia have been “Staf- garnisonen” (punishment _garrisons) where officers whose pay has been con- fiscated have been sent. Thérefore it is not surprising that they have been easily influenced by thé sound of gold. They have secretly acted as agents for the German _steamship @ companies. These army officers as well as officials of the Austrian Government, DFo- feesors, school teachers, etc., worked ang intrigued together wherever they could.” The activities of these devotees and servants of ‘Kaiserism have been many and varied, but always with the one end in view. “It was the task of these votaries to prepare calmly .and_methodically the population for any plan hatched in the war ministry, to influence and slacken any vigilance directed asainst Gérman interests, to safeguard German monop- olies in foreign countries, to sign ‘Au- thoritative Opinions’ when needed. Their activities included—to start and maintain the necessary crusade when- ever required by their paymasters, to arouse eathusiasm for war in one country, to preach’ peace and good faith in another, to weave new intrigues, to place interpellation in foreign pariia- ments, to see to publications of memo- randums, to address applications and petitions to the Authorities to invest slanderous and malicious tales, to cir- culate and hold ciscussions in publie, to foster strikes, to inflame through publications and newspapers the public mind. And through this system they bamboosled the public in a direction desired, placing a perpetual screen be- fore the people and reality.” 1t is interesting to note in connection with Germany’s wail for freedom of the seas, that since German confedera- tion no foreign vessels have been ad- mitted to German ports except under vexatious restrictions, and that Ger- man steamship companies have al- ways prevented the working of other lines in continental Europe, so far as they ecould. Third class passengers, for instance, were not allowed to pass through Germhany if they wished to sail by non-German lines. One of the favorite plans of German- izing European countries is-simply to {make life unbearable for non-German iraces under German rule, to force them to emigrate, and then to plant German colonists in their abandoned provinces. Besides the twenty-eight million Ukranians in_Russia there are some four million Ukranfans living under Austrian rule, where they are known as Ruthenians. “With the help of the Austrian Gov- ernment, German settlers have * pene- trated to the different Slav provinces. and 250,000 German peasants reside in Galicia.” This colonization has been carried on for vears methodically and noiselessly. German colonists’ are now firmly established as far east as'Bosnia, where there are 54 different German colonies. German settlers received from the Government in Bosnia lands almost free, loans without interest, gratuitous seed and wood, and sub- sidies for building houses. These facts are khown to but few even in Austria, although this colonization al- ways had a very important political significance. The settling of Germans in Huneary where they are known as “Schwabs,” was started by Empress Maria Theresa in 1764. She sent 40. 000 German peasants to Hungary, col onizing them near the Rumanian bor- ders. Today these settlers in Hungary increased to almost one-million. The many thousand Ruthenians in Cana” and the United: States, from the ‘nces of Austria, are wholl in sathy with the Allies and en t mancipated from any allegiance t former German tyrants.

Mr. Editor: The laboring men as a rule, and more particularly the me- chanies, 1 think, are the spenders. They have what their money will pur- | chase, ang if they have steady work at good wages buy much that they could not only get along without but which is really injurious to health and causes pain and suffering in later years. Besides, what were once lux- uries are more and more being con- sidered as necessities until the strug- gle to make both énds meet becomes harder as time goes on. People groan under the burden of the high cost of living when, in a great many cases, it is really the cost of high living. Fads take a prominent part: they might as well be out of the world 4s out of fashion. These conditions have been handed down from one generation to another since the great increase in wages soon after the close of the Civil war, until now the knowledge of practical economy might be consider- ed as one of the lost arts. This brings us to what we are up against now. People of today as a rule don't know how to economize because they have not been brought up to-it. We are urged to adopt meatless days, wheat- less days, and days when we should deny ourselves the- use of varlous other articles of food, etc. but the study and exercise of practical, sys- tematic economy- goes much farther and therefore i more effectual. The housewife of today is up against a pretty stiff proposition and is oblized to exercise her faculties to the limit to keep her table supplied with pala- table food. and at the same time to see thate ione is wasted. In doing these things she ie helping more in this great struggle for the rights of humanijty than she can in any other way, and if she has daughters growing up she {s doing double duty.

The purpose ‘of the hearing was to iscertain whether or mot the manu- facture of corsets is one of the less | essential industries to which the ap- plication of certain regulations in the use of steel would apply. The asso- ciation was represented by 1. M. Ul- man of the Strous, Adler company of New Haven, Luther Warner of the Warner company. of Bridgeport and by | the representatives of New York com- i They stated that steel was that corsets were essential to the com- fort and usefulness of women workers. They called attention to the fact that while doing a yearly business of more than forty million dollars, corset man- use only 00 tons of steel. Moreover, that a very large per cent. of workers in corset factories are women, so the man power of the coun- try is not drawn upon to any consid- erable extent. The corset men stated to the council that England has found the industry so important and the demands of women workers so insist- ent that it permits the importation of corsets and the necessary materials in spite of tho great lack of tonnage from which that country is suffering. The council of national defense thereupon took the matter of corset manufacture under consideration and will announce its decision later. i OTHER VIEW POINTS ‘We need to look forward into the tuture but a few months and we will see a complete reversal of the present situation with Germany, beaten. back in its last great drive, compelled to take the defensive and in all probability forced to give up the terrain that has been won at the cost of hundreds of thousands of lives.—Ansonia Sentinel.
