With a few more than haif of the electors voting, the city election on Monday resulted in an overwhelming demoeratic victory. It cannot be re- called when so large a majority as 755 has been secured by any mayor- alty candidate. Certainly not within the last 20 years has there been such a one-sided contest, but it was only what had been anticipated. It was in keeping with sentiment which Had been freely éxpressed over dissatisfactidn with the past adminis- tration. which had done many com- mendable things but which had more than counterbalanced them by a series of smaller ones which not only caused much fesentmeént but broke party or- ganization. This is no better display- ed than by the large numbers who stayeéd away from the polls and there- by contributed to the democratic suc- cess. It was in accord with what is to be expected when party organiza- tion is disregarded as it has been and the effects of one maf controlare ex- periénced. h the democrats united as they were and the republicans suf- fering from disorganization, it is no secret that the election has long since been a foregone conclusion, and the lesson is not likely to be forgotten right away. By their clean sweep the entire city government becomeés democratic. The responsibility rests in thelr hands of glving the city the best possible gov- ernment and it 8 to be sincerely hopéd, for the welfare of the com- munity, that the obligation will be fully discharged. The vote certainly indicates that the people have confi- dence in the officials chosen. GENERAL WOOD, THE SOLDIER. tieneral Wood spoke like the true soldier that he is when, in his address befdre the division which he has train- ed for service in France, fellowing the review he expressed his sincere re- gret at the order which has detached him from leading them abroad but declared that it has been so fixed by superfors and the order must be obeyed. Just why the sndden change was made which removed General Wood from this command after he had come cast expecting to go to Furope has never been authoritatively disclosed. There may be reasons why it should not be, but if that is the case it wotlld perhaps be better to say so than to let the impression grow that the admin ation is keeping him in this country because there i to punish him for his activit: f of greater preparaticn during the early days of the war, or that it is be- ~ause General Pershing does not want him as a division commander In the battlefields. Had General Petrshing desired Gen- sral Wood's retention here it seems probable that he would have indicated t a sufficient time in advance to have permitted the order to have been given before he and his division left Kansas, and had General Wood been desired for other service of more im- portance it is difficult to understand why he was ordered from the active work of directing a training camp to an administrative job as commander of the departmient of the west at San Francisco. As It stands at the pres- ent time the entire matter seems to show poor handiing with sympathy turning to General Wood because of his recognized ability as a soldier. Time will clear up the matter, but as General Wood said to his men, this is the time when all must do their ut- most for their country. AN UNJUST ACQUITTAL. Little has been contributed to the suppression of lawlessness by the ver- dict of the jury in Illinois which found not guilty the eleven men who were indicted for the murder of Robert P. Prager. Rather has this decision lent cncouragement to the practice of iynching and it cannot be. regarded otherwise than the approval of simi- lar lawless activities in the southern states, In the case of Prager it is to be re- membered that he was an alien and that he had given expression to state- ments which were open to the inter- pretation of being disloyal. Because of that he was subject to punishment and that would have unquestionably lgken place upon the. establish- . ment of the facts by a Court having jurisdiction in such.a matter. The peaple where his rémarks. were made exercising the proper. self control they refused to alldw the law to take its coutse and taking him from the jail they preceeded to make him pay at their hands the greatest possiblé pen- alty. There was in fact little 6f no effort .oft the part of the assem- blage to put a stop to such an ufilaw- fiil execution. The crowa lacked a balance wheel in its' mad.desire for the imposition-of punishment for an act of that character at such a time. The eleven indiétéd men were most fortunate in thus escaping. from the predicament in which they had placed themselves, and it was more - than they deserved. They had showh as great a disregard for the law &f the nation as Prager had apparently shown disloyaity to the country, and such ac- tions should never get approval in a civilized nation, 1 THE U-BOAT RAID. The descent of a fleet of German submarines upon Americati shipping along the Atlantic coast comes with o suddenness which is distréssing, yet it is only a verification of the réports which have béen received in the past few days to the effect that the U- hoats were operating in American wa- térs, althotigh'there had beén a dis- position to doubt such a fact. The raid therefore comes iii the na- ture of a surprise, although it is not to be supposed that the naval authot- ities have not /been actively éngaged in taking measurés to minimize such cperations. Ever since this cotintry entered the war it has been realized that our long coastline furnished an excellent chance for just sueh attacks upon shipping and the situation te- day is much the same as it was dur- ing the few days that the U-53 was operating oyt 6ff Nantticket, although there are reasons to believe that there is more than one underwatér boat at work now and that they are of a siz2 which will permit themn to carty suffi- eient supplies so that unless driven off they wiil continue to infest the ship- ping lanes with the object of causing as much destruction to shipping as possible, This means that American destroy- ers and chasers must be put into the fisht against this menace on this side of the Atlantic as well as about Great Dritain and that no steps can be left untaken to search theé TU-boats out cither on the high seas or at any base which they may have established on this side of the water. It likéwise means that the navy must be called upon for greater service than it has been in the past. Ithas definite work before it now that it has been estab- lished that the submersibles are with us, A UBELESS PLEA, What a gross misunderstanding must exist in the mind of the sultan of Turkey if he thinks that Germany will make peace for him under exist- ing conditions! Yet he appears to har- bor such an idea and it is even claim- ed that he has made such an appeal This shows what must be the attitude in that country toward the continua- tion of the war and how the advance of the two British forces in Asia Mi- aor must be regarded. Germany managed by early finan- cial assistance to get the help of Tur- key. It has made the most of its army and navy and got no small bene- fits thersfrom, but it is folly to stip- poseé that the kaiser will be willing for Turkey to drop out of the fighting at this time. Germany is not inclined that way. It is holdihg onte every- thing that it has and redching out for more, and Turkey must expect, re- cardless of the sufférifig which it is undergoing and the conditions which exist within its borders, {o remain in the game until the end if it anticipates that Germany is going to iift its bur- dens now that they have become oner- cus. Turkey must give all that it has and all that remains for the carrying out of the kaiser's plans even if that means the wipihg out of Turkey and the absolute control of that nation even as Austria-Hungary has been taken over. If the sultan wants peace must look for it in another direc- tion than Potsdam. EDITORIAL NOTES. Monday’s results remind us that there can be a political as well ag a backyard cleanup. These are the days when the ther- mometer comes in for a greater share of public attention, Compared with May,.June certain- ly has thus early dembpstrated that it is decidedly radieal.

It can be anticipated that the war messages and speeches Will figure prominently in the orations on grad- uation day. It would be interesting to know how much of a war sacrifice those railroad men who have threatened to strike have made. Those Yale jokers who voted the kaiser the greatest man in the world ought to be given the privilege of en- joying some of his greatness Those who are longing for a chance to help now that theré is no campaign underway should realize that it is al- ways possible to purchase thrift and war savings stamps. The quarter of a millien tons of shipping produced in May is decided- lv gratifying. We are certainly "mak- ing good progress in the right direc- tion with promise of still greater re- sults. 3 ‘While Secretary McAdvo is declar- ing that striking railroad men would be disloyal, he might say the same thing about any other strikers who would embarrass the nation in its war work.

Washington, D. June 3-—Al- thouigh Becretary of ‘War Baker has mae no specified reference to the taking of the Coanecticut soldier vote in France, it seems probable that it may be done With War department sanction The war depaftment frowned down all suggestions of sending over state commissions to take the vote but the malil service system as provided for by the Con- necticut legislature apparently ¥ few if any = objectionable features. The war department has announced recently that it will econsider any method which is practicable and ean carried out without interference to existing military conditions. See- retary Baker recently gave out a new statement regarding the taking of sol- dier votes both in camps and in Franee. The matter had been sub- mitted to him by states which had provided that ths vote be taken by commissions and by mail, the latter including Connecticut and Mississ- ippi. Previous decisions of the sec- retary indicated that the vote in Uniteq States camps could be taken mueh along the methods used at reg- viar polling places, with the customr- ary voting beoths and other facili- ties in general use, but that the sol- dier vote abroad could not be taken as it would interfere with military duties. Now, however, the secretary states that the war department will lend its aid in the work of taking the vote in the camps in the United States but will not hold itself re- sponsible in collecting, taking or for- warding the votes. “If it is possible to work out a plan by Which we can facilitate the states getting their sol- dier vote we will do so. If some states provide plans which are pfac- ticable and others impracticable we shall not make states with practical plans suffer. We shall try to work out a plan which will alse apply fo the American expeditionary force abroad.” The adjutant general of Connecticut was in Washingfon not long ago and {60k up the matter with the wat department, and was much encouraged over the outlook although no definite decision has yet been an- nounced by the secretary of war. The two big questiohs which com- mand . practically the entire attention of congress are the new revenue bill and providing for the éxpeditionary force abroad. Coupled with the for- mer is the question of a recess some- time during the summer {o give the ways and means commitiee of the house ang the financé committee of the senate uninterrupted time to frame the bill which the president says must pass before final adjourn- ment. Senator Simmons, chairman of the finance committee and floor leader Claud Kitchen chairman of the ways and means committee both express strong conviction that the committees could turh out a better bill and in less time if they were left unhamper- ed by entire freedom from other con- gressional duties, which cannot be put aside when congress is in active session. Mr. Kitehen ‘said last week that the interruptions of voting on ‘other bills, answering roil ealls, attending to routine matter of - con- gress and the presence of the great number of persons who are in the city and demand attention from their members of congress during a session is a serious draw-back to the proper preparation of a matter of such tre- meéndotis impoftance as the revenue Bill which will provide for the many billiohs of dollars which this govern- ment must expend in 1919. “We ought to Be granted time for the rev- enue bill,’ said .Mr. Kitchin, “and I think we should gain time and turn ot a better bill if congress takes a recess and leaves only the two com: mittees at work who are responsible for framing the bill.” Such a move would give a much needed respite to all other members of congress and the chances are that some sort of a plan to that end may vet be worked out. There would be practically nothing for the 500 senators and members to do here while the others drew a rev- entie bill. Coupled with the proposed recess, the military affairs sub-c¢om- mittees and others engaged, in in- vestigations would of course, keep at their work here if it was deemed ad- visable. There is no disposition on the part of congress to claim a va- cation, even thcugh this week the official down town station of the United states waather bureau regis- tered 104 degrees in the shade, but they are not over anxlous to stay here and swelter if they are not needed till the bill is ready to go be- fore congress for debate and a final vote, Congressman Tilson of Connecticut literally “brought the house to its feet” when he demonstrated the use of the Wales hand grenade to the members in a war far more realistic than they had anticipated. It is Colonel Tilson who iS always called upon to explain Matters pertaining to munitions, while such hills are under 'discussion, ana just before the vote was taken on the army appropriation bill he stepped down in front of the speaker’s desk and presented facts about the differ- ent grenades 1Tn use in France, ex- hibiting specimens of each as he talk- ed. Now it seems that the detonater of the Wales grenade is especially powerful and the colonel had prepared one of the grenades in such a way that if he dropped it against any hard sub- stance it would explode without pos- sible harm, but with tremendous noise. Describing the intricacies of the vari- ous grenades, he at last reached the Wales and spoke most enthusiastically of its merits. “We hope it is superfor to anything that has been developed.} It has a time-fuse arrangement and! also can be made to expiode when it strikes a hard object. This one ex- plodes at just tho right time. This| grenade which I now hold in my hand is called ‘armed,’ and if there were an explosive charge in the grenade it would explode when it strikes any- thing.” ‘Whereupon Colonel Tilson threw the grenade into an empty bas- ket at his feet and the detonater did its duty nobly and exploded with a tre- mendous report which brought every member of the house to his feet. Newspapermen rushed to the front row of the press gallery, and the whole house was in an uproar of laughter and applause at the very practical demonstration. And the presiding of- ficer pounded his gavel and shouted “the time of the gentlernan from Con- necticut has expired,” which created more laughter and applause. Later in the day Colonel Tilson was asked to explain certain features of the Brown- ing machine gun, ang as he step] in front of the speaker’s desk and be- gan to handle the i:n, cries went up t from ail of t chamber: “I say, Tison, point that gun the other way!” The girls have started out in khaki clothes, with their sleeves rolled up, and gone to farming in earmest. Eighteen of them left this week for nearby farms in Maryland, where tliey will help the Maryland . 1: n & "NORWICH BULLETIN, TUESDAY, JUNE 4, 1918 ! “Yes Ted's been here” said _the voung woman with the classieal face. “Why, no; 1 didn’t let him come.

I think Ted felt the need of that sort of relaxation, but there wasn't anything romantic enough playing to suit him. He said he Would have liked to see some real old-fashioned love stories acted. I said that I teally cared more for the intellectual drama. ‘So 1 might suppose,’ he remarked al- moést gruffy. “You know, I really began to think that army life was changing Ted's dis- position, which used to bé very plea- sant and even. because while he was here he was always getting cross sud- denly without any apparent reason.

The other members will be two each commissioned officers of army and navy and two each who are members of the American Society of Mechanical Engineers and the So- ciety of Automotive Engineers.

(Correspondence of The Associated Press): ‘One of the unsung heroes of the war is the military surgeon. No man hasjyou have it tomorrow? been harder worked in the tremendous fighting of the past few weeks, and his work has been in most cases far from pleasant. Thete is not the same romantic stimulus for the medical man that there is for the infantry or artillery officer. It is one thing to dash about under fire intent on killing or being killed; it is another think to dash about uhder fire and take the same risks while calmly attending to those with wouhds frfom ‘which all other men as they pass avert their heads. “Thank God, I am not a dector,” said an officer who had been detailed to inspect a number of improvised cas- ualty clearing stations along the front during a recent attack.”+ The regimental surgeon in the Brit- ish army has in his charge the well- being of more than a thousand men. When there is no fighting on, he has plenty to do. He has to strike a happy medium in discouraging the faint-hearted whe come to him as a means of obtaining a fortnight's rest, and in holding out a helping hand to those who are in real distress. If he is too lenient, the commanding officer besgins to ask whether he intends to deplete the whole regiment; if he is too harsh the junior officers and men lose patience, The doctor is the only officer in the regiment, however, who is the fortu- nate possessor of a cart, but this leads to numerous compiications. There are some thirty-odd officers in the regi- ment, and each oneé of them has some few trifies which must go in that cart. If he is weak enough to take them, the car is overloaded and before long breaks down and precious medical stores have to be abandoned. If he re- fuses to take them, his position in the officers’ mess becomes wellnigh un- ‘bearable. The doctor doesn't ride. “but “foot- slogs” it with hig regiment through the same mud, the same wind and rain, and the sAme perils.

Views of the Vigilantes THE DAY By Juliet Wilbor Tompkins Vigilantes it will come some day—do you real- ze it? On some one glorious day the eénemy will ery “Kamarad!” in good earnest, and there will he Peace. Pictufe that day. The cfowds in the streets are going abott their business, the Red Cross rooms are humming with work, the thousand war activities are grinding at full speed, every moth- er and father is facing the mofning with a heart braced for loss, every loya] citizen is at his post of service; and suddenly—the news! The crowded avenues turn white; iall up and down their length they have blossomed Wwhite with the open news- papers that have magically sprung into everyone's outstretched hands. Everybody in the long, stopped stream of humanity’ holds a newspaper or reads his neighbor’s; everybody knows everybody, shares with everybody; strange hands clasp, strange eyes meeting, overflow; and there is just one first thought, not triumph, nor of the democracy, but—"“Those boys—those good boys—they can come home!” And the second thought will be “We've done it! We've put it through!” And then, standing there, they be- gin to sing, the men with bared heads; they send up such a song as the skies have never heard since time was— “Glory, glory, hallelujah!” — “Praise God, from whom all blessings flow!” The melting pot is a slow process— that song will melt all into blood brothers at the first chord. Oh, how they will sing, those stahding men and women! And then with one im- pulse they will surge into the church- es, into the cathedrals—for when man has been granted the supreme boon, he must fall on his knees, whether he knows God or not. And no one* who rises up from that silence will ever iost its mighty vibration. That day ig not a vision; it is com- ing as surely as tomorrow.

WAR GARDEN PRIMER “LEGGY” TOMATO PLANTS MADE STRONG. It is not necessary for the home gardener to discard the apparently weak or spindiy and ‘“leggy” tomato plants; for they can be made -as stocky as any others, #ays today’s bulietin rom the National War Garden Com- mission. The way to do this is toset them in the ground “on the bias.” WMake the hole deep enough to bury the root well, with the stem part of the plant inclined so the superfluous stock will be under soil. Roots will spring forth all along this buried stem, and in a short time it will be vigorous, more so often than those planted upright. No vegetable that grows in the gar- den will yield a bigger crop. in propor- tion to the amount of space planted than the tomato. Furthermore, it is a food which can be eajoyed in one form or another nearly every day al summer long. If the little plants started in seed boxes are ahout two in high and are crowded, either prepare another seedbox in which to transplant them two inches apart each way -or trans- plant to a cold-frame, or into flower ts, strawberry boxes, or tin cans. q‘%e object is to get them where. they have room to grow and spread. Tomatd plants should be set in the open as soon as danget from frost is past. Set them 18 inches apart, in rows three feet apart if they are tobe staked and proned to ome -or two stems. Set them three feet apart in rows four feet apart if they are not to be pruned. or staked. For .the early crop: arana and stake ‘the planth shoots will grow in the axis of the TODAY bw IMORROW .

Seét the stakes while the plants are small, and as the plants grow keep them tied up. New leaves, that is, at the point where the leaves join the stem. Take out these shoots every week or ten days, or they will delay the early ripening, which is what is wanted in the eariy ! crop. The later crop may be allowed to spread over the ground if this is preferred. Tomatoes need rich soil, good culti- vation and plenty of moisture. Noth- ing will respond better to a generous supply of manure than will tomatoes.

We were about ten hours in the trenches; trenches half dug, full of water and rats. Then we were told to set our watches ang expect to make the attack the next morning, abou®, quarter to six—as I recall it. All of a sudden the barrage lifted| and we were given the command—and over we went o make the attack. The artillery was going like the very devil, playing old Harry all around us. We went only a few paces over the top. The Germans let off the gas over different paftz of the lne. Some of our men in the first line went down under it, others turned back. I was in the second line. We saw volumes of dark smoke. Clouds of it coming on us ang the.Germans followinz it up. Many of our eecond line went down under it.
