The decision reached to the that Germany must pay for the loss caused by the action of its subjects and the officers of its mavy in the sinking of the warships in Scapa Flow is only what was to be expected and Germany itself must realize that the additional burden that will be placed upon it is only what the situation calls for. It can be imagined that there was no thought to the consequences of such an act when it was planned and put into operation. The only thought was of depriving the allies of these warships, which had been turned over to the allied nations under the terms of the armistice. The fact that the very disposition that has been made of them had been suggested by some of the nations offers no justifica- tion. The act is a violation of the terms of the armistice for the" sink- ing had taken place before the sign- ing of the treaty or in fact before it had been decided by Germany to sign it. It amounts therefore thing as the refusal to carry out other terms. In that case Germany would have been forced to comply and in this instance inasmuch as its rep- resentatives have taken the opportu- nity offered them to destroy property placed in the hands of the enemy it must make good for that act. Ger- many may have the satisfaction of knowing that its warships cannot be utllized by its successful opponents but it has done so at a price to be exacted which will dull the achieve- ment and cause Germany to be dis- trusted in each and every one of its future acts. effect to the same TEMPERANCE SALOONS. With the putting out of business of the saloon by the going into effect of the war prohibition act there has been no emall amount of thought given to the question of providing some sub- stitute. It is felt as the result of study that the saloon is a place where a great many go for sociability and with the idea of seeing that that demand is met the Salvation Army has decided to undertake the mainte- nance of some of these places under the name of temperance saloons. There will be the mahogany bars, the mirrors, the chairs and tables and even the brass rail, while lunches and soft drinks will be served. Some of the pictures and signs may be changed but there will be the mixolo- gists and plenty of other attfactions so that the social side of the saloon will not be wiped out. Whether this undertaking will prove a success remains to be seen. There are many who are frank to say that they do not believe that it will, If it is companionship that is sought the temperance saloon ought to meet re- quirements, but if the sociability of the saloon is measured by the kick that comes from drinking alceholic beverages it is perfectly plain that it will not But inasmuch as the best way to determine whether the plan of the Salvation Army will serve the desired purpose is to try it out, it is quite evi~ dent that the Salvation Army ought to make a go of it if anyone can, though it is possible that the pro- prietors of some of the long establish- ed and famous places may even see a chance to do a similar business by running a kickless drinking house. At any rate the experiment and outcome will be watched with keen interest. SEEKING PROTECTION, Only what was to be expected is the demand that is being made that there be revisions of the tariff whereby American industries will be protected against the competition from other countries where labor is much cheaper and particularly Japan. When there was a shutting off of the goods that were received in this country from Europe at the opening of the war Japan was quick to see its opportunities and take advantage of them. In many lines of production has it been undergoing much develop- ment for the purpose of supplying the American market. It hastened to take advantage of the chance to furnish toys for which goods so much depend- ence had been placed upon Europe be- fore the war, and novelties, buttons, pottery and silk are being sent to this country in large quantities. According to the figures of the de- partment of commerce the balance of trade between the United States and Japan is held by the latter. Last year Japan sent to this country goods to the value of about $302,000,000 and bought from us goods to the value of about $274,000,000, while the Japan- pse trade review_shows.in .me,tnurl ' recgntly in- Brockten. 3 years from 1913 to 1917 that Japan's exports to this country have jumped from 184,000,000 ven to 472,000,000 yen and the amount is much greater this year. It is therefore a matter for con- gress to decide whether it is going to take action by way of a-tariff that would give protection to the indus- trial activity of this country, or whether it is going to keep down the bars and Invite the competition which if continued will make it all the more difficult for our own establishments to keep going under conditions exist- ing here. WHERE UNIFORMITY WOULD HELP. What it is believed will be regard- ed with much favor by the users of the highways is the contention of the national defense council that there should be uniform motor car regula- tions throughout the country. This would mean no great change for many states though it would mean consid- erable for others but it would give re- lief to those traveling through the different states without weakening the highway regulations. As it is at the present time every state has different regulations. They are working to the same end, the safe- ty of the rold and the protection of those using it, but they are undertak. ing it in their own way regardiess of the efforts of the neighbors. The re- sult is that a new book of laws has to be perused every time a state boundary is crossed. One state may rigidly oppose speeding and the next may not; one may forbid glaring { headlights and the other may not ,and so on through a long list of highway laws, It is thus very easy for those who are entering another state to un- intentionally violate the laws right and’ left, whereas if there was some sort of uniformity it could easily be avolded. Much the same situation exists re- garding the regulations in cities. Hardly any two have regulations alike. Too often there are the one- way streets with nothing to inform the stranger. Some cities require cars to be parked alongside and close up to the curb, others insist upon them be- ing left at an angle with the curb. In other places they must be backed up to the curb, while the matter of turn- ing around on streets is equally as puzzling in different cities. Warnings do much good to the strangers, but if there was some sort of uniformity regarding highway laws and city regulations much relief and better observance would be secured. AUSTRIA NEXT. It was noted of course at the time the terms of peace were handed to Austria that it offered much the same sort of 4 remonstrance that came from Germany. It set forth numerous rea- sons why there should be a change made in the requirements, and object- ed to the manner in which the dual narchy was to be cut up, but Aus- ia knew then as it knows now and knew before that the dual monarchy could not remain as it was. Even those who were numbered as subjects of that empire were opposed to its continuance, and it is in accord with the demands of the different races that Austria-Hungary is being parti- tioned. 2. That the decision of the German government to sign the ‘erms of peace that have been presented to it will have its effect upon Austria, even as the course that it adopted in present- ing counter proposals, is to be expect- ed. As with Germany there is noth- ing else for it to do. It has no way of resisting the enforcement of the terms and it cannot fail to recognize that if it should attemnt to balk that the burden would simply be increased thereby. Austria has depended upon Ger- many for guidance throughout the war and it will unquestionably take its cue from the same source in the mat- ter of signing the peace terms. With Germany signing up and started -on the way to readjustment Austria and the other nations waiting to learn their terms and swallow the bitter pill will do the same. There’s no escape, and the sooner it is over the sooner it will be possible to eliminate the un- certainty existing today and shape its course for the future, Austria knows that it stands next in line. EDITORIAL NOTES. The man on the corner says: The weatherman is just now adding to the reasons for a dislike of work. The coming of official summer has thus far had both the unexpected and the expected effect upon the tempera- ture. The suspense over what is going to be or what is not going to be done about the going into effect of war time prohibition is something terrible. e e It is useless for von Bethmann-Holl- weg to explain at this late day what he meant by “a secrap of paper.” The world got his meaning when he ut- tered it. From the great results being ob- tained by the former kaiser in saw- ing wood he must keep a whole gang of tree choppers busy furnishing him with material. It will be useless to believe that because Germany signs the peace treaty without reservation that it will not be necessary to carefully super- vise the carrying out of eyery fea- ture. There are those who do nst expeet the president and congress to be any nearer together when the former reaches this country than they are while he is on the other side of the Atlantic. After much urging the Massachu- setts trolleymen have. returned to work, but it would have been far bet- ter had they lived up to their contraet in the. first place and avoided all the needless trouble. Inasmuch as an Englishman has announced that the end of the world is coming Decemer 31, possibly the Germans thought ‘the allies would have no use for the warships during the' next six months. Those were the good old days when one used to get all the porgies he could carry away for a quarter, eggs at 15 cents a dozen and strawberries at three baskets for a quarter. Will they ever come back? What a bad example will do is shown by the action of the shoe cut- ters in Haverhill striking in the face of the advice of their leaders, just the same as the carmen-did, and just the same as other shoe workers did wonwICH BULLETIN, THURSDAY, JUNE 26, 1919 e e e e D et e s o e cmmm——— 2 e o DOUBLE MEANINGS . “Are there moments in your past,” said the pretty girl, tentatively, “that make you writhe if you remember them and cause a crimson blush to flood to your face. N “There were many of 'em,” said the good looking young man, cheerfully. “But I gradually got over them, The ‘worst one was the time I went to the country club dance with one tan shoe and one black one and never noticed it until I got out on the floor. 1 wouldn’t have noticed it so much, because I knew the whole crowd pretty well; but that night—well, that was the night I saw you for the first time.” “Oh,” excliamed the pretty girl. “So that was why you never came near me?” “You did notice me that - night, then?” asked the good looking young man eagerly; but the pretty girl in- terrupted him in some haste. “I was talking about remembering embarrassing moments,” she said. “There is one episode that has blighted my life for about five years every time something reminds me of it, and I feel that if I can bring myself to tell it to somebody it may raise the curse. You seem to be kind and sym- pathetic, so I shall practice on you.” “Go ahead,” murmured the young man tryigg to appear kind and sympa- thetic. “It was when I was 16, said the pretty girl. *“I had a caller—my first caller—~and 1 was correspondingly fussed. This man was one of the silent kind, who never have a word to say. It was like talking to the sphinx ‘to entertain him. He would sit and lis- ten to my best efforts without a gleam and I was in despair, Each time he left the house after an evening of dull, dark gloom I would hopefully think that perhaps he wouldn't care to re- turn. But, no, his last words were, “May I see you again next Friday?” “I was too young to know how to refuse him gracefully; so he kept coming; yet he never became any chattier. to suoh an extent that I was determ- ined to be rid of him even if I had to insult him epenly.” “l1 bet you handed him a stinger,” said the young man. “I thought it was a stinger,” groaned the pretty girl, “until [ saw how he in- terpreted my words. That. is what Tinally it got on my nerves has haunted me all these years. What he must think of me! Here I was trying to insult him; and here he was, thinking that I was oh—oh!—I can't bear to tell you!” “Oh, get it off your mind. It'll do you good,” gaid the oung man, deeply interested. “Well,” continued the pretty girl rather desperately, “after one particu- larly horrible evening, he asked if he might come Friday as usual, and I said I had another appointment. Then Saturday, he sald. 1 was going out. Sunday, then? It wasn't possible to keep it up forever, so I gritted my teeth and burst out, ‘Oh, why on earth do you keep coming at all? “Gosh, that was a wallop,’ cried the young man. “Wouldn't you think so?” agreed the girl. “But he didn’t seem to think so. “ ‘Why, he said, in a puzzled way, “why shouldn’t I come? I wanted to shout out ‘Because 1 am bored to death,’ but that would bardly do, you know; so I said, ‘Well, we don’t even seem to get anywhere; we just sit and sit; henestly Mr. Dibble, nothing ever happens.’ I meant, of course, that he never even took me out or anything; only I don't like to say so right out.” “Well( surely that got through his byde, said the young man. But the pretty girl blushed furiously red and hid her rosy face in her hand- kerchief. “Oh!” she gasped, miserably. “He misunderstood it all. He answered in a sort of scared tone of voice. ‘Why, Miss Sally, of course you are rather young don’t you think? All that sert of thing will probably come later on. Just at present—I “—er—think it best to go on as we are. The good looking young man burst into a %' of laughter. The pretty girl gave Lum one furious look and fled into the house, “Oh, 1 knew disappeared. bhad. it” “Can you beat‘that?”’ reflected the good looking young man, ruefully, as he went down the walk. “Now, no it,” she cried as she “Now it'll be twice as I'm sorry I told you a word of hope she's encouraging me. She might be trying to insult me —in her own peculiar way.—Exchange. LETTERS TO THE EDITOR If @ Junior High School, Why Not An Intermediate School, and by and by a Senior High Schoel? Mr. Editor: As one interested in ed- ucational matters as well as taxes in Norwich, it struck me that the meeting last evening was a rather poorly at- tended affair for a matter of such vital importance to the citizens of Norwich. What is the answer? Does it mean that they are ready to sit on it and are not interested enough to listen to the story, or are they go- ing to sit idly by and let it be strad- dled on to an already heavily taxed community without a word? Our school taxes at present run up some eight mills or more. Now you should add to this the amount of mon- ey which is paid annually by the town to the Norwich Free Academy and which has been increased once and with the possibilities of a still further increase, which money would bring our school taxes up to somewhere in the neighborhood of 10 mills. TUnder the old system of separate school districts and boards, I doubt if there was a single instance where the taxes went above 4 mills; in some there were practically no taxes, in oth- ers it was 2 mills. Four mills was the highest I can recall. Possibly the one district which wanted this combination to get together and share its burden might have gone above the 4 mills. .Has' our school system improved under this new idea? T cannot see where it has; in fact, quite to the con- trary. Under the old system the va- rious schools educated and graduated their pupils for the Academy; now some of the schools, for instance the Falls, has to send its pupils to Broad- way before they can graduate. It has been stated that the schools are over-crowded. Is this true in any school in Norwich except the West Side? The Falls School district has room to spare and give away I under- stand, and the same is true in some other scheols, they have plenty of rom. ‘What is to be gained by compli- cating our common school system with these accessories twhich are of no greater value than for the purpose of making a lot of new school positions and complicating our systdm. Of course the more complicated it be- comes, the more money it takes to run it and the more teachers required. Does a great array of buildings, half empty, or a complicated system com- prise a school, or doesn’t it after all (to follow the remark of a famous ed- ucator) consist of a proper instructor on a log? But it seems we have de- parted from those ideas, and what we want now is grandeur and all kinds of complications. In the city of Norwich we have a number of institutions which are largely supported by moneys recely- ed from the citizens or from the state. These institutions are run by self- perpetuating and self-governing bodies. They are responsible in no way to the people who contribute to and assist in supporting them. When moneys are given by the citizens or by the state, they should be repre- sented on such boards. Why don’t tiic people interest them- selves in some public-spirited citizen and induce him to make a donation to the town, such as the recent Slator do- nation, and have another board of cor- porators elected and incorporated, and then have the institution supported by public moneys by another self-consti- tuted and life-perpetuating body? If we want a Junir High School, why don’t we want an intermediary, and then a senior? Have the three old R's so materially changed that we have got to have all these various depart- ments made now to teach them? I cannot see how the present day child has anything on the one who gradu- ated 25 or 30 vears ago. In those days he had a substantial amount of knowl- edge of the things he did undertake to learn. Today he has a spattering of a little of \everything, Give us a lit- tle more practical sound education and less nonsensical theories. Why burden the mind of the commoen school child with something which will be of no material value to him and which he will not carry with him much beyond the doors of the school? If you have got any side issue to furnish him, buy a baseball bat for him and let him g0 out and have a good time, and when he graduates from the common school let him enter upon the line of work in which he is interested if he is not interested in higher education. I wonder if somebody has a build- ing site which they want te sell to the school hoard, or to the citizens for this new junior high schooli There is gen- erally a motive in most undertakings which seem to oceur in our city. In order to apply to the patriotism of the tax payers, this idear is camou- flaged by calling it a memorial to the soldiers and sailors or whatever you desire. We do not know yet wnat they will call it. The most substantial and sensihle thing that the citizens of Norwich can do is to revert back to the old district L l school system, where teachers are em- ployed who are capable of graduating pupils and sending them to a higher school where they are capable of completing their education, and not have little small children from the Falls and other places chasing down to the Broadway school to complete an education which they should be able ta get in their own district, and by so doing they would not only save shoe leather for the children. and save the wear and tear on their hones, and the danger of their being killed by auto- mobiles traveling over the highways. but they would also cut their school taxation in two, and get an equally efficient service as they are getting today. And if they don’t wish to do that, then they shouvld ask for an in- termediate high school! as well as a junior and also a senior high school and have them all at once, and then give us tax of about 50 mills, so we can- get into bankruptey all to- gether., T am not opposing this because of the fact that Mr. Boardman opposed it, because on general principles he op- poses everything at every meeting 1 ever attended, whether it be sensible or otherwise. LUX. Norwich, June 28, A Correction. Mr. Editor: In reporting Tuesday evening's meeting on the pronosed Junior High School your reporter con- fused two sets of figures which I quoted, thus seriously misrepresenting the local situation. My two statements were: (a) Of those who enter the Fifth grade— ’ b 12 per cent. do not reach the sixth. 1919. 27 per cent. do not reach the seventh. 42 per cent do not reach the eighth. 72 per cent. do not reach the ninth. (b) Of the Fifth grade 12 per cent. i do not reach the sixth. Of the Sixth grade 18 per cent. do not reach the seventh. Of the Seventh grade 20 per cent. do not reach the eighth. Of the Eighth grade 48 per cent. do not reach the ninth. In the interest of accuracy and of justice to the Norwich schools, T beg to request that you print this correc- tion. The problem of loss of pupils is every where serious, in Norwich par- ticularly so, but it is not so bad as were the figures in this morning’s Bulletin make it appear. Very truly yours, MORTON SNYDER, State Inspector of High Schools. Norwich, June 25, 1919. IN THE DAY'S NEWS OEDENBURG “Oedenburg, scene of bloody peas- ant revolts against the rule of the Reds, is a thriving city of some 30,000 inhabitants in normal times, situated in a productive valley near the Rosalien and Leitha mountain ridges which form the slender chains that bind the Carpathians to the Alps,” says a bulletin from the Washington headquarters of the Na- tional Geographic Society. “Foohills of the former mountains almost surround Oedenburg, while the itha mountains are some twelve {miles to the north.

Reputed to have descended from Attila, the scions of that line have been conspicuous in Magyar affairs from the sixteenth century to a period within the mem- ory of living men. “It was at Oedenburg, or Sopron, as the Magyars call it, that the first Esterhazy of renown, Nicholas, was chosen for palatine of Hungary, five years after the Pilgrims landed at Plymouth Rock . Paul Esterhazy, son of Nicholas, was commander-in- ehief of the south Hungarian army, also was elected palatine, helped consolidate the Hapsburg dominion, and wrote reiligous and scientific works. Nicholas Joseph, in the eighteenth century, fought, acted as privy councilor, and founded an or- chestra of which Haydn was a mem- ber. . Nicholas IV declined the Hun- garian crown from the hands of Na- poleon, while his son, successively ambassador at Dresden, Rome and London, and Count Moritz an Esterhazy loomed large in statesmanship and diplomacy of the nineteenth century. “With Oedenburg too is associated another famous\ Hungarifan name, that of Count 8tephen Szechenyi, called by a patriot “the greatest Mag- var of them all” He was a compo- site hero, at once the Paul Revere, the Harriman, and the Harry Payne Whitney of Hungary. For it was he who rode through enemy lines to in- form Bernadotte and Blucher of their part in the battle of Leipsig; who in- troduced the first steamboats on the Danube, built bridges further to en- courage traneportation, and launched what might now be termed a ‘Grea!- er Budapest' movement which made that city a world capital of prestige and beauty and who was a patron of horse racing no less than literature and art. But his name looms larg- est in politics because of his determ- ined opposition to the more radical forms proposed by Kossuth, and his subsequent espousal of a conservative policy even as a member of the Kos- suth ministry. \"“With plentiful fuel to be had from the Brennberg mines nearby, Oedn- burg manufactured machinery and had bell foundries. Soap factories, sugar refineries, and vinegar vats were numbered among its other in- dutries, while it traded in products of the grain and vines grown in the vi- cin’ and was an important cattle market. Famous wine came from the little town of Balf, less Man 19 miles away, on the banks of the Neusiedler Iake, a shallow, salty body of water with a wooded swamp in the south- east where game was plentiful, “Originally Oedenburg was Scarban- tia, a Roman colony. German set- tlers came, and by the eleventh cen- tury it was a free town, “Franz Liszt’s father was employed on the Hsterhazy estates and the famous musician was born at Reiding, near Oedenburg. Liszt recalls the older tradition, reincarnate in Pade- rewski, that virtuosity and politics may be joint interests of a genius mind. For Liszt, as a young man, went to Paris and took a keen in- terest in the embryo soc,s7st move- ment as preached by such pioneers as Saint-Simon.” OTHER VIEW POINTS Justice Wheeler has rendered service not only on the bench, where his av- complishments will ever rank with the greatest of our jurists, and with tre- mendous opportunity goming when he gains next year the pinnacle of judi- cial standing as Chief Justice of the State Supreme Court, but as a citizen in active life who never for a moment forgets, even in his busiest hours, the dutjes required of all who are part of a community.
