The secretary of the navy has de- clared that the occan flying experi- ments of his department must cease. This is because there has been a cut- ting down of the appropriation for the navy a third below what he asked, the action taken there being the same as was done with the request of the rail- road administration for funds. This does not mean that the navy depart- v not secure an additional ap- propriation at a later date as Director neral Hines has reason to believe that he will get, but it shows that congress is fully alive to the finan- cial problem that it faces and it is disposed to follow the safe and sane route. This country has been put to a tre- mendous expense during the war. It never made such stupendous appro- priations and it never carried such a debt. It is not to be expected that it will continue in that direction. There must be a letting up and the ntial step in that direction is kl‘epm" the appropriations down to what are re- quired. That will mean the raising by tax of only what is necessary. Attention has been cailed by mem- bers of congress to the financial situa- tion of the country a1d it has been stated by Congressmen Fess and Moore that there is a possibility of 1he government being faced with a. deficit of $11.000.000,000 at the end of next year unless due regard is given to such matters. Appropriations must be revised and as full an understanding as possible had regarding th2 uses for which the money is asked. We should find out as soon as possible whore v stand and cut our cloin a-cordingly. It is not expected that it will be pos- sible right away te increase our re: enue through revisions of the ex ing law and it is incumbent upen congress to realize and assumo sponsibility, and the appropriations, even be added to laten. indicates that that | is what is being done. duction in the though they may THE,DANGER OF FOG. Along with the successful ocean flight of Alcock and Brown from New- foundland to Ireland it has been made clear that aviators who attempt such A ecrossing at this time of the vear reason to expect that they will encounter fog, and fog is about as un- certain for the birdmen as it is for the navigators on the surface of the wa- ter, though there may not be as much danger of collisions, Fog is what caused the trouble for the three American aviators on their | hop from Newfoundland to the Azores. But for the fact that they were driven off their course in it and forced to descend it is probable that all three would have completed the flight to Plymouth. Hawker and Grieve were likewise bothered to no small extent by fog, though that was hardly what caused their undoing, but it is evident nevertheless that it pre- sents a danger that nnot be over- looked in flights across the ocean. And these experiences have been had the same time that a number of ps have collided and some gone hore because of the same trouble- some fog. Long has there been great need of increasing the safety of nav- igation where fog is concerned and certainly it has not been decreased now that long flights are being made over the water. Not a few devices for meeting the situation have been per- fected but either they have not been generally adopted or else they fail to come up to requirements for fog con- tinues to be just as much of a menace as ever. The opportunity for perfect- ing some means of permitting the vis- ion to penetrate the blanketlike cur- tain is loudly calling for acceptance. have at DEALING WITH IMMIGRATION. The matter of immigration is one to which the country must give a due amount of attention at'all tinies, but it is bound to require more during the period of readjustment. A number ot plans have been suggested 4nd the latest of these is one by S. L.\Gulick, representing a committee for con- structive immigration! legislation which has unquestionably devoted much time to this problem and its so- lution. By his plan which has been presented to congress it is proposed to admit to the country a certain per- centage of immigrants, it being based on the number of haturalized citizens in such a group together with the number of American born children. He has done some figuring along this line with the result that it is estimated that there would be open to admis- sion each year 122,000 from Austria- |1t is time expected Hungary, 125,000 from Russia, 95,000 from Italy and 2481 from Japan and wOLLETIN, TUESDAY, .JUNE 17, 1319 it is believed that such a plan would serve to not only regulate the new- comers but to take care of the labor situation regarding which the claim is already being made that the country faces a deficit of four million. This idea will doubtless get consid- eration along with the others. It is entitled to be studied for what it is worth but it cannot fail to be realized that .any such plan which would ap- parently open the country to those who are now forbidden will be due for strong opposition. That has doubtless been taken ipto consideration in pre- senting the plan with the hope possi- bly held that it can be overcome, but it will have to receive a much differ- ent reception than any such idea has in the past. CLERKS FOR CONGRESSMEN. ‘While the effort is being made in congress to cut down expenses it would #eem that there was an oppor- tunity for giving attention to some of the small as well as the large items, even though the saving in that direc- tion will not be as big. Along this line there has been introduced in the house a resolution which would make it necessary for the clerk of the house to pay the expense of the personal clerks of the congressmen. This differs from what is being done at the pres- ent time inasmuch as the congress- men are now allowed the sum of $1200 for a clerk and they do the paying, having the right to pay more, or less or have no clerk at all Besides his regular salary a con- gressman is allowed $2,000 a vear for a personal secretary and $1200 a year for a clerk. If he hires no clerk that means that he gets the money just the same and looks upon it as just that much advance in his salary. There is no provision at the present time that he must have a clerk. He can do as he pleases in that respect but he gets the money for it just the same. It is for the purpose of overcoming this situation that the resolution has been introduced, for if the clerk of the house pays for a congressman's clerk it will be necessary to have a clerk to receive the money. There is no effort to eliminate the clerks but there is a desire to see that the money is used for what it is intended for otherwise those who have no need for a clerk because of the small amount of work they do are getting a larger compensation than those who are real- ly doing much more work, and so much more so that they are not able to accomplish it without the assist- ance of the clerk. Under theé pres- ent arrangement there is nothing to prevent any number of clerks being provided for without the money in many cases being used for that pur- pose. DEALING WITH ANARCHISTS. When such a series of attacks is made upon the institutions of this country as that carried out by the bomb throwers, it is quite natural that there should be an increased interest manifested in dealing with such a class of people, as is being shown by the introduction of several anti-an- archy bills before congress. This gives the impression that we do not possess at the present time laws that properly deal with such criminals. Such being the case it ought not to be necessary to wait for more attacks before making a move in this direc- tion. We have experienced the lack of preparedness in the matter of laws a considerable pumber of times already and it is well to take time hv the fore- lock, but what the result w:l be no one can tell. One of the bills provides the penzlty of death for those who are convicted of attempting to use iniernal .ma- chines for bringing about death or sing the destruction of property. It appreciated that there are ma is y times when a bomb fails to accomplish vhat the thrower intends. Sometimes adcomplishes move, but there caz t tae purpose is it be no question w The intent is clear and whether there is a large or small loss of ife, whether much damase is caused whether the bomb proves 1 dud or i prevented from cxplodinyg, there should be a sufficiently drastic jaw with which to deal with sucn people. to let them know that this country is not a have: for such criminals, that the land of freedom is not open io the interpre.ation that they give it and that they must abide| by the laws or take the conssquences. They have been encouraged by the leniency they have received in the past. EDITORIAL NOTES. It begins to lo as it we would have to brush up again on a long list of those M ican names. Alcock doesn’'t seem to have been driven into ecstasies by the kind of weather furnished on the Atlantic. Villa could not be to be really happy until he had drawn the Americans into the fighting in Mexico. The arrival of the oil for streets is going to cause a warm rivalry between the dust eating sections of the city for reljef, The man on the corner say: It wishes were flying machines they would be as annoying as a cloud of mosquitees. Now that plans are underway to send 2000 or more Germans home somebody will probably bob up with a writ of habeas corpus. It makes a difference how one feels about the question of prohibition as to the way in which the coming of the first of July is anticipated. ‘With the reduction of the naval bill by a third it is quite evident that con- gress doesn't believe in appropriating big sums just to make the taxpayers gasp. Long distance fliers need not be discouraged just because Alcock and Brown have crossed the Atlantic, there are plenty of other longer and harder routes. —_— Reports to the effect that there are large importations of jewels in this country indicates that the war work- ers are getting ready to spend their profits. Usually it is one robber that holds up a car or store full of people, but it was quite the reverse in New York where an aged bank messenger put six holdup men to rout, With 107 miles of war films just brought back from Europe it can be that a number of evenings this summer will be spent with the troops across the water. | { Ibedroom quarte | through |and guidance of WASHINGTON AFFAIRS (Special to The Bulletin.) ‘Washington, D. C., June 16. — The past week has been a typical May moving day, so far as congressional offices go. During democratic con- trol all the chairmanships went to the democrats, and with them went the biggest and most convenient offices. Republicans, no matter how promin- ent, had to be content with small quarters and a long run from office to the house. Oniy Uncle Joe Cannon and one or two others of great note were exceptions to the general rule. But with the incoming of republican control there was a complete upheav- al. To the victors belong the spoils of big committee rooms, the best ma- hogony furniture and a bigger corp of clerks. The democrats were ousted from their strongholds, just as a few years ago they ousted the outgoing po- litical party in leadership, and for days past men with arms full of pa- pers, little trucks and push carts with rubber tires piled Jhigh with books: small boys and big negroes have toted congressional belongings back and forth through the great marble cor- ridors of the house office buildings. Committee chairmen have two or three rooms put at their disposal, and the men who stepped down and out of chairmanships now find themselves in one small office, while the former ranking member, who then had hall- now occupies the three room suite. t it is one of the fortunes of politics and all take it goodnaturedly. It is entirely uscless to even com- ment on current events. Only these of the past furnish safe.anchorage so quickly do conditi change. What was a reasonable forecast at sun-rise is entirely out of date at sun-down. Take the trealy investigation for in- stance. Before the newspaper men could get a fairly good round-up of its strongest points the Knox resolution to separate the treaty from the league had put the nose of the investigation entirely out of joint. And its the same with all the big issues now before congress. One thing ‘is certain, how- ever, it is many years since the work of a congress has begn under such top speed as that of the 66th called together May 19th. The republicans determined to pass all the necessary appropriation bills before’ they expire by limitation June 30th, and at this moment it looks like they would suec- ceed. They wanted to give more time to the weeding out and lopping off of many of the democratic so-called em- ergency bureaus, committees and commissions but there was not time to do more than hack off a few dead branches in plain sight. Even then they expect to save fully a billion dol- lars from the appropriation bil as framed by democrats and which the republicans refused to let pass at the close of the 65th congress, March 4th. Later on they expect to crop off a billion or two more. Postmastership holdovers are accum- ulating rapidly. No one knows how many thousands of cases there are but all over the country men appointed more than four years ago are holding their offices, waiting either for reap- pointment or the naming of their suc- cessors. Except for a couple of thous- and names sent to the senate while the president was in this country a few days in March, no nominatiens for postmasters have been received by congress since the first week in December, 1918, when the president left for his visit to France. Among the big list of recommenda- tions filed and waiting the return of the president to the United States for action, are a half dozen important Connecticut offices filed hy Congress- man Lonergan, the only democraat on the delegation. These comprise Hart- ford, E. D. Wilson; Manchester, F. H. Wall, Southington, J. J. Moran; Unionville, T. S. Rourge. Trese terms expired last January or February and Mr. Lonergan promptly recommended for the reappointment of the present incumbents, and expects all these names will appear in the-next list of nominations submitted to congress by the president. The old blind chaplain of the house hit the nail right on the head when he prayed “for a wider distribution of common sense” in his opening prayer the morning after the attempted kill- ing of Attorney General Palmer the explosion which wreck- ed his house. Chaplain Couden is an old war horse and a belieyer in<law and order. He never minces words when p: ing for the welfare s country. Several times in the past he has called very specific attention to the immediate need of a change of heart on the part of congress and less leniant methods when dealing with wrongdoers towards the natio The old chaplain is tall, slender ar |of both eves wh officer of the Ci with a dashing cavalry | favorite eve member of the! house. No matter what change in politics comes about, he is re-elected by acclamation at each succeeding congre even though the fight over other offices may wax bitter, there ing party candi- nst the old chaplain. He regarded as the devoted and loyal chaplain of the whole house. Senator McLean today appeared be- fore the senate agricultural committee and secured an increase of two hun- dred thousand doliars for co-opera- tion with farmers and boys and girls' clubs; outside the cotion belt period this brings the total appropriation up to seven hundred tho: nd. Senator Brandegee holds a high ranking position on the committee on foreign relations which has this week devoted much time to the considera- tion of the Knox resolution and the investigation of the peace treaty leak. In fact the committee assignments of both Senators Brandegee and McLean as such will take their undivided at- tention practically the whole summer, and the Connecticut senators will hold positions of high responsibility in framing after the war legislation. There seems to have been some mis- apprehension about the attitude of Congressman Merritt on the daylight saving question. Mr, Merritt has been strongly against its repeal and urged the inter-state commerce committee of which he is a member to report against a repeal of the measure. Mr. Merritt believes the people of the in- dustrial centers so far outnumber those of the agricultural districts that the greatest good for the greatest number will be”accomplished by keep- ing the existing law in force.

Garner, of the Smithsonian Institu- tion of Washington, D, C., has found in \the French Congo a “man-mon- key” or “talking ape” lend interest to a communication sert by the late Theodore Roosevelt to the National Geographic society telling of the pre-human ape man of Java, who lived some 500,000 years ago, and marked an upward stage in the evo- lution of man. Col. Roosevelts famous jungle hunt was in the v ty of Prof. Garner's travels, as they are described in newspaper despatches, and the Roos- evelt big game is mounted in the Smithsonian institution with which Prof. Garner is associated. Rerzarding this “ape-man” of Ja- va, one of many “missing links' in human evolution Col. Rooseveilt wrote to the National Geographic Society. “This being was already half way upward from the beast, half way be- tween true man and those Miocene ancestors of his, who were still on the psychic and intellectual level of their diverging kinsfolk, the anthro- poid apes. He, or some creature like him. was in our own line of ascent during these uncounted ages when our ancestors were already different from all other brutes and yet had not grown to be really man. He probably used a club at need; and about is time Le may have begun very rudely to chip or e fashion stones to his use. s progress was very, very slow; the marked feature in the progress of man I been its great acceleration of rapidity in each s ive stage, accompanied conttually by an in- explicable halt or dying out in race after race and culture after culture. “After the ape man of Java we skip a quarter of a million ars or so, before we get our next glimpse {of a near-human predecessor of ours. This is the Heidelberg man, who liv- ed in the warm second interglacial period, ,surrounded by a fauna of huge or fearsome beasts, which in- cluded the saber-tooth an dthe hip- cluded the sabertooth and the hip- elephants of southern type. “He was a chinless being ,whose jaw was still so primitive that it must have made his speech imper- fect; and he was so much lower than any existing savage as to be at least specifically distinct—that is, he can be called “human’ only if the word is used with certain largeness. Again we make a long skip—thls time of somewhat over a hundred thousand years—and come to the Piltdown man, or near-man—a being seemingly a little farther advanced than the man of Heidelberg, and in some ways les® so, for he possesses apelike canine teeth. “The next race was that of the Neanderthal men, much more mod- ern and more advanced, but lower than any existing savage; and spe- cifically distinct from modern man. This race dweit in Europe, without cther human rivals, for an immense period of time; probably at least fifty thousand years; certainly an age several times as long as the peri- od included in the interval between the earliest polished stone men and ourselves—in other words, several times as long as the ages of nolished stone, bronze ,and iron and the total of historic times all put together. “Some of their favorite caverns were lived in by them and by their successors for fifty thousand years. “At lasi the life term of these primitive hunter folk drew to a close. | They were not our ancestors, With our present knowledge, it seems prob- able that they were exterminated as completely from Burope as in our own day the Tasmanians were ex- terminated from Tasmania. “The most profound change in the whole racial (nat cultural) hivtory of Western Europe was the sudden and total supplanting of these sav- | | i i | Potter Coal Co. for 23 years, Phene 190 “The Best Your Money Can Buy” THAMES COAL CO. has secured the services of Timothy Gallivan as Superin- tendent, who formerly was connected with the A, L.
