The surmise been qu eral that Germany.sent its U-boats to this side of the Atlantic for advertis- ing purposes. It expected that it «would give encouragement to the peo- :ple at home that big things were b “ing accomplished, that the help whic this country is sending to the es | n Europe would be shut off and that it would serve to crippie the ade of this nation. This suk sctivity was instituted as an for arine ixiliary Yor the land drive which is beinz Jmade in France. This is all borne out by the announcement which is now made to the effect that the At- lantic coast from Canada to Mexico 48 Included in the danger zone, which is intended to embarrass not only the United States but to prevent th trals from e, a direct effort to the trade agroement neu- with 0 be wceepted a thw out of joi which have be i en | recentiy ecniered into with northern| European neutrals.

Germany could not have ldone anything which would have iériven us to greater cfforts than this fvery thinz, and though it has suc- fceded thus far in keeping free from he clutches of the American navy Bere is every reason to believe that his will not be for iong.

ER TO RESPECT THE LAW. § Reguiations regarding the use of ertain foods at this yime have been iished by the food administra- fion for the purpose of having them Yespected, and laws have been passed Which are considered sufficient to see that they are. Unfortunately there those who seem to think that the Tegulations have been put forth for other fellow to observe, that It is only to obey them while e is looking and that if they n be dodged it is an advantage hich they can take. Some of the arrests which have made ought to be sufficient to up any such siteation and to @ those Wwho have violated the visions and heen caught, as well ahy others who are still violating requizements, to voluntarily call a t and do as they have been di- v a short time ago t a wholesale sugar house was d to be disregarding the regula- Hone. The authorities possessed the Jower to put it out of business, but owing to the fact that many dealers were relying upon their supply from ihat source it was deemed wize that this step should not be taken but that a fine of 320,000 should be imposed, Italian commanders. The latest of these is the accomplishment of Com- mander Rizzo, who with twd motor- boats, the exact size and character of which are not revealed, mamaged to get through the protecting fleet of Austrian destroyers on the Dalmatian coast and send to the bottom one of Austria’s big dreadniughts and seri- ously damaged another along with a torpedo boat which attempted to pur- sue the intrepid patrol leader. Much is undoubtedly attributable to ‘the initiative 'vloflld to by Commander Rizzo, who upon discovering the ene- my decided to strike instead of flee. But that is* apparently characteristic of this commander for it was he who picked his way iftto Trieste last year and sank a warship under equally hazardous conditions. It is by such strokes as these, for Austria has al- ready lost seversi of its big ships since the war opened, that Italy is sradually - getting an upperhand in that gquarter, and that means no small influence upon the general war épera- tions. THE SENATE'S ACTION. Much attention- has’ been given to the debates which have been carried on in the senate regarding open di- plomacy concerning treaties and the effort to secure a limited debate up- cn all matters in general. It was the purpose of Semator Bo- rah's resolution to have all discus- sion concerning treaties conducted in the open, thus eliminating any se- cret sessions when matters of such importance were under consideration. There can be no question: but what the senate acted wisely in defeating this effort. There has been and there is now a very strong opposition to the secret treaties which it has been shown were enacted between Euro- pean nations, about which . nothing was known at the time and about ich nothing was said later until the revelatlon was made by others a Jong time after they were in opera- tion. This country and the senate is totally opnosed to any such thing, but it ie a different matter to call for the open negoiintion -of understindings between countries when there ‘is no intention of ne them secret af- ter thev are e shed. T'fiis coun- tr has no such secret treatles and it wants none. While the negotia- tions mey he carried on hehind closed doors the results are made known af-| tor the treaty has been concluded. For ihnt reasen and using good judzment e senate by over a two to one vote turned dewn the Borah proposition As the matter of cloture the r evidenced its deter- not to be demied its say. is undouitedly a wise mo: it should go the determina v senmator not to to debate lengthen s more time than i forth PERSHING JULY 4TH FUND. A campaign has been st ed T Spanish War Veterans of Connecticut| for thg purpose of sending a fund ‘o ihe boys from this state who are now in France to be distributed among them on the Fourth of July. Thers have heen other plans of sending gifts to the boys in the trenches but in this ippeal the idea is to make the gift set his { in the shape of money that the blys mav use it for such purpese. as they there. ghred 000 Connecticut t there are about boys in France at the present time.

No dcfinite goal has been fixed,. al- though it is hoped that there will be at least $10,000 while as muck mors a5 the people feel they can spare will e weicomed. That it will come in handy to the boys over there not be questioned, as the letters which are received plainly indicate. Connecticut has sent many men and| it is proud of the work of those who have had an opportunity to show their fighting qualities. . The undertaking of the Spanish War Veterans is a commendable one and there is rea- son to helieve that the state will make 3 generous domation. EDITORIAL NOTES.

A New York res- taurant has just been made to pay $1500 to the Red Cross and post a no- tice to the effect that it has violated the regulations but has pledged full obedience in the future. It is thus being made evident that progeeution in case of violation can be’expected and inasmuch as the law is:going to be enforced it is far preferable that should be respected.
