The resignation of Dr. Richard voa Rueh!mann as German foreign min- ister does not come as a surprise but is in keeping with the indieations which were manifested following his speech to the reichstag in which he declared that Germany could net hope to win the war by the sword alone. His res- ignation wae of course forced. He freed his mind in a way which did not please the powers that be in Germany and to permit lim to remain In officz would indicate a weakness ich coula not be tolerated if the pan-Germanic forces to continue to eontrol. The inference which is to be gain- ed from the resignation, and the one wihich the war lerds intend should be ve s that Kuehimann did not speak the imperial German ‘gov- eriment What he said represented his attitude and because he chose to set forth a pelicy, or to hint at ons, which was detrimental to the interests sf the junkers he must go. It is not to be suspected that the declaration of the foreizn secretary had effect upon the allied gov- ernmenis or that it aroused any false hopes the The spreading of any peace propaganda at this time stands no sh with the allied nations ex- cept that the central pewers are will- ing to comply with the terms which have been set forth by President Wil con, hut the dismissal of Dr. voa Kuehlmann must he regarded as a move on the part of the German war I lerds to overcome the possibic effect of peace talk in Germany at this time ed when the ives with their terrific - losses have failed to accomplish what was prom and the conditions = among the ailies of Germany are any- ‘hing but satisfactory. OUR AIRPLANE PRODUCTION. That we are steadily moving ahead in the task of providing airplanes of various types for the army, even thougsh we may not be accomplishing 11! that was expected by this time, is shown by the reports of progress that ire being made from time to time. We wre building machines of various types, . some of which are fashioned after . Jur own ideas and others which are be- nz constructed in accordance with the . models which are being built by the . tllies and which are being relied upon oy them in their air activitie: There has recently been b 5 this tountry 2 large bombing machine of English pattern which has met the re- quirements of the test and heen ac- cepted by the government. It Is a huge affair weighing 9,909 pounds anil with a wing spread of 100 feet which can make 100 miles an hour and eas- ily carry 20 men, a large cargo of bombs and two machine guns. This of eourse means a valuabie raiding machine, and an interesting feature in eonnection therewith is the faet -that in its tests it was driven by two Liberty motors of 400 horsepower each, which adds new laurels to the attainments in that direction. With the American product show- ing up so satisfactorily there are rea- sons for believing that, in spite of the handicaps which have hbeen experi- eneed, that our resources will be able ts make valuable eontributions to the aerial service and aid materially in the increase of the air supremacy ‘which is now claimed by the allies and which it is so necessary to keep. TAXING LUXURY. When it comes to a matter of taxa- tion everyons is interested, and par- ticularly is this true of some of the recommendations which have been offered regarding the levy to be made in order to raise the necessary reve- nue for the government to conduct the War. In the previous revenue bills luxur- ies have not escaped but it is hinted that they will be taxed more heavily than ever. Just what is to be done no ome knews. There is a lot of talk be- ing indulged in at the present time because it is necessary to consider the many ways in which the tax can be ‘mede to apply, to distribute the taxa- tien ap much as pogsible and to see that those who are the best able to pay should not be overlooked. It is quite natura]l therefore that duxuries will be made to as mueh as possible. This of course will -Eorwich Qallétbq \ i of any one as they were previously inclined to buy. But it is mot to be suppesed that the tax ‘which will be applied will be so heavy that it will result in a complete stop- ping of the sale of such articles. That would defeat the very purpose of tax- ing them for if no. sales were made there would be no revenue. It will ‘probably mean that more people will get nearer to the simple life and find that they are able to get such luxur- ies as they need, whatever form they may take, for increased prices have been, experienced by the American people before and there is no ques- tion but what they will be able to eet them without serious inconven- ience whatever they may be. EXPORTS TO MEXICO. Much in the line of what was to be -expected is the announcement made by the state department to the effect that the ban on the shipment of goods to Mexico has been lifted and that ar- rangements have been made to ship a large quantity of corn and manufac- tured articles of various kinds into the republic to the south. It has alwavs been the purpose of the United States to help Mexico. Our disposition has been suspected and doubted in Mexico and it has been impossible to come to an understand- ing which would eliminate the feeling of distrust. but in view of the recent expressions on the part of President)|miles, when a “'m t to figure out why I should spend a buneh of money on a new car when I can pick up an old model for half the price,” reflected the prospective purchaser. “I think I'll buy the old ome and save a lot of cash.” “I's a great scheme, if yqu can put it ever,” laughed his friend.

The man pulled off his coat and, tinkered around and said the main trouble was in the carburetor— that the spring was too weak to throw the spark. But besides the plugs were too heavily coated with carbon, the valves were leaky, the shaft in the water pump was bent, and the battery was nothing but junk. “We got some fellows to help us push it up the street to a repair shop. I paid them $65 to fix the thing so that I could drive it back to the place where I'd purchased it. And then, believe me, I traded it in double quick. They let that $600 apply on the cost of my new car. But do you know, it was quite a while before I could persuade the family to come out and take a spin with me!

EDITORIAL NOTES. Every let up on the profiteers is simply interpreted by them as an in- yitation to go ahead.

Before the Germans could trim the submarine .the British vessel succeeded in getting away. . During the attack the U-boat fired 40 rounds, non of which were success- ful, while out of ten sheots the British gunners made three hits. There are secrets in the flight of ‘pirds which when discovered will prob- ably revoluntionize the aeroplane. How for instance does the sea gull, to give a very familiar example, manage, af- ter planing down on outstretched wings, to rise without any perceptible propelling motion You can see this for vourself any day on, the Thames Embankment, and you can ask the most expert airman or the most learn- ed professor of theoretical aeronautics without obtaining any solution of the mystery. Brigadier-General Freyberg, V. C., D.S.0., the New Zealand hero of Beau- court, has again been wounded, this making his eighth injury. He is one of the most wonderful fighters that the war has produced, attaining his pre- sent rank at the age of 28. It was at Beaucourt in November 1316 that he rallied men of the Royal Naval Di- vision—he was then only a ecaptain— and succeeded in capturing the place. For this deed he was awarded the h e Four times he was wounded in the battle. Previously he had sustained severe injuries at Antwerp, and he was twice wounded in Gallipoli, where he won the D.8.0. for swimming ashore and lighting flares to deceive the Turks.

A certain number of Americans, with British and French armies, are helping the Italians to face the new Austrian offensive. Italy has been promised full measure of support from American arms, and she will get it. Last week was the anniversary of our capture of the Messines Ridge, and the German watchword was old on hold out. hold your tongue.” Lord Milner's hopeful speech on the im- pending part of the U. S. A. suggests a similar battle cry for the Entente. When we look into the details of the scheme by which British cities are to adopt the sons of daughter cities in the States, it is obvious that some of our civic bantams will have prodigious families to brood. Our Boston, for example, is but 167060 strong, her daughter 756,500, our Newark is fewer than 40,000, the American more than ten times as great. The first Cam- bridge is half in number that of Mass- | achusetts, our Richmond one-fifth that of the Virginian. As for York. her number should be 84,000, but her West- ern daughter counts 5 600,000 sons and ‘daughters. What would our little Denver of 800 souls do with the 261,000 of her Colo- rado namesake; the two-score nd eight thousand of our Worcester the 164,000 of the New World city? ‘Whe have two Wilmingtons, as has the States, but it is surely the less known by which the Americans would be mothered, that tiny Dartford sub- urb, which once housed Warwich the king-maker, and saw the Britons, em- battled on earthworks still existing. hold up Caesar's legions.

Such, we under- stand, is the label given by the young- jer soldiers to the recruits obtained through the agency of the last M tary Service Act. The sobriquet is derived, as ne doubt vou have guessed, from the initial letters of the phrase, “Old buffers over forty.” And now that you know what an Obof is, here is a story respecting one of the genus. The newly-formed signal company had just assembled on parade, and the 0.C. was classifying his men for their various duties. “F3ll out any opera- rtnrs." he shouted. A number of tele- graphists promptly stepped to the rear, but the O.C. was surprised to notice Sapper Black amongst the party. “Are you a competent operator? inquired the O.C. “Yes, sir,” was the immedi- ate respomnse. “And your speed of working?” “Five thousand feet per hour.” “Five thousand what?” roared the O.C, “Telegraph operators don't | send messages by the yard.” “Perhaps not, sir,” replied Black, ‘“but you see T'm not a telegraph- operator; I'm a cinematograph operator!” LETTERS TO THE EDITOR Asks That School Board Be Supported. Mr. Editor: Just a few words in re- gard to the town megeting called, it ‘wouyld seem, directly by the Chamber of Commerce, judging from the signa- tures, on the petition to the board of selectmen in regard to salaries of the town teachers. At the present time the town school board is paying the teachers §5 a day of five and one-half hours for every day they work and have offered them $100 more for the school year, ,making their pay $5.60 a day, and if they succeed in getting $100 more at the town meeting, which they expect to, it will mean $6.20 for five and one-half hours’ work, an in- crease of $27,000 to be added to the 28 1.4 mill town and city tax which we have at the present time. If this is put through what is to hinder the teachers from doing the same thing every year? Now, Mr. Edi- tor, we have got a school board com- osed of men who have made a per- fect success not only of their own bus- iness but of our town schools. Mr. Taxpayer, please take notice at this time that if the Chamber of think § jtrust we may proceed with the r {lish dry Commerce had had its way at the! laat ‘city meeting you would have had | 2 20 mill city tax instead of a 1§ 1-4 mill tax. Now, Mr. Taxpayer, if you Auditorium nlk $5.00 2 day of five and one-half hours for school muu; is not enough, while you are working for $3 or less for a day of eight hours, g0 t0 the town meeting and vote the extra $100 a year, making the increase $27, 000 for the year. At the same time bear in mind that you have got to pay $11 a ton for ‘1,000 tons of ceal, making $11,000 more,, when coal is selling in inland cities right here in | Connecticut for a good deal less, and there is no protest from our civie hody. In ap address by the. late Hon. Charles F. Thayer when mayor of the city of Norwich to the court of com- mon council he used these words My dream of the twentieth century is a city without a taxpayer or a tax list.” 1 wonder, Mr. Editor, if he were on earth at the present time, and viewing the situation, would he be willing to extend the time? And finally, Mr. Taxpayer, go to the town meeting and support your school board who have done the fair thing by the school teachers and the town taxpay- ers, and don’t be imposed uvon by a very few of the school teachers and their parents, who have insulted our town board of education by the course théy have taken to increase your bur- den beyond reason for their own per- sonal gain.

The regulations estab- zones around all military camps where there are 250 or more officers and enlisted men. The revised regulation emanated from the com- mission on training camp activities and under certain conditions the dry zone is to extend from one-half mile to five miles from such camps, ac- cording to whether or not the towns | in which they are located are wet or| dry. The question now arises as to whether a military post or garrison is a camp, and on that decision will de- pend the application of the new regu- lation to arsenals, armories and muni- tion plants and similar plants where military guards are maintained. Con- necticut will probably have to ask for a ruling, as in many of the great mu- nition plants a heavy military guard has been established since the begin- ning of the war. Take, for example, a great munition plant with a military 2guard. Should the number reach 250 will the war department classify them as being in a military camp or a gar- rison? On that may hinge the estab- lishment of a dry zone in the city where the plant is located.
