After two years of democratic control of the eity government, citizens of Norwich have their opportunity today to an efficient republican administra- names which are offered in T an ticket are such as to n confidence and these candidates the unqualified support of who are solicitous for the best interests of their city. From Her- rt M.

Exercise of the franchise is a privilege that no veter should neglect, and there is every indication that the vote will be a large Both party committees have been showing much activity to poll their representative strength The issue is before the citizens. Let them now make effective by their ballots their desire for a change the cily ad- ministration. The polls in the four city districts open at 9 a. m. and close at 4 p. m.

Not only ing of paper has become a part of a well planned sys tem of education in the St. Louis schools, but the children are being taught that \ great many things can be made use of wnd have a real value that are ‘hrown away. When it is reported that the prospects tre that over $15,000 will be secured be- ‘ore the close of schools in June it can be readily seen that the thrift campaign really gaining the proportions of “big ness.” Over 100,000 pupils in 135 schools now participate in this work, oringing in old newspapers, magazines and heoke that are sold to dealers waste paper. The proceeds go to the teachers' annuity association. That the schools are not only doing a very important work in raising meney for & worthy canes. but are also of ma- terial assistance in Helping to conmserve the constantly lessening supply of white paper, is indicated by some of the fig- For the year of 1919 the now b ires submitted. schools eollected a total of 901 tons of paper. For the past seven months or since the schools opened last September t have collected 566 tons, of which tons consisted of newspapers and tons consisted of magazines. Since the start of the paper saving movement, a grand total of $37,813.34 has been real- Ized from its sale. What St. Louis is doing can be done by any other city. Think what it would mean to the paper situation if the ma- lority of our eitles would contribute heir quota of waste paper and think how much money could be earned for tome worthy cause, 518 SIXTY-BIXTH CONGRESS. Naturally enough the president who demanded the signing of the peace treaty without the change of dotting of an or the crossing of a “t" berates the bigty-sixth congress upon its adjourn- ment. From the outset President Wilsop in- vited antagonism on the part of con- gress. It avas eletted against his earnest plea for the defeat of the majority of its members and he had adopted a policy towards the 1918 elections which invited a retaliatory spirit and tended to nulli- fy any claim for consideration in per- sonal or party polities which he might advance. Added to this has been the sitnation in which for a long period the president has been practically ineapaci- tated and congress and the people have been kept in ignorance of his true men- tal and phvsical condition. , Irreconcilable difficulties with the pres- ident because of the peace treaty and other matters have brought to naught much of the work of congress, but this has been no laggard body. The saving of a billion dollars to the taxpayers by the Jopping off of appropriations and the passage of the railroad and water vower bills have been some of the wavs in which congress has met national de- mands and>popular exvectations. This probably seems hardly werth mentjoning to an administration that showed such tender consideration for the Leuisiana sugar planters and “such disregard of the public Welfare by its failure to se- cure the Cupan sugar crop; that is re- sponsible for the Burlesonizing ef the post office department, and the fantastic manipulation of the navy by Daniels, Of course there have been failures to pass legislation that many members and their constituents deem important. Some of thesé owe their failure to late intro- duetion. In the closing hours, for in- stance, it was deemed impossible to give consideration to dn embargo on ceal ex- portations in order to assure New Eng- land a fuel supply. WINDHAM MOONSHINE, Is Windham countg out to grab the “moonshine” crown long worn Wwith unique distinction by Kentucky? Time has been that Connecticut's chief interest and information as to “moonshine” has been that it furnished a subject for stir- ring reels in the movies, but arrests made last week in this seetion of eastern Connecticut, with the location of stills and the seizure of quantities of the illicit liquor, bring the subject closer home. Any inveterate patron of the motion picture houses will have no difficulty in visualizing the stage setting—the wild, ragged, desolate looking countryside, the tumble down shack where the still was located, the skulking mountaineer with his trusty rifle, the wild rides aleng mountain and forest paths in the moon- light, and the searching revenue officer for whom a bullet was waiting from al- most any hush or tree along the road- side. Eastern Connecticut, in either New London or Windhant' counties, can qual- {ty in any number of its back-country ions as far as topographical charac- teristics are concerned to make an ad- mirable locus for the “moonshine” indus- There are wild ahd abandoned dis- far enough from the lines of reg- travel, to satisfy the mest exaet- evaders of the Volstead law, and loubtless there will be no lack of in- uity and enterprise on the part of | those whose respect for law would not be proof against the incentive of large financial profit from the manufacture of “moonshine.” Is “Windham moonshine” carve a place for itself alongside the “lightning” that comes from the state over which Governor Edwards presides? about to LAND OF OPPORTUNITY. Judge Gary of the United States Steel corporation, talking for the employers of America declared in New York re- cently: The present so-called labor strikes, in- volving riot #nd injury to property and person, are instigated as a part of.the campaign to disturb and demoralize the social and economic conditions ef the country. In other lands very serious resuits have been accompliched by the same means which have been employed here. . Unquestionably what the judge eays is true of the radical labor organizations such as the I. W. W.,, whieh are disloyal to both constitution and law, and seek an industrial revolution such as was ac- complished in Russia. But this country is not hankering to be Russianized. It 1l believes in property rights and all proper rewards for industry, economy and thrift. A country in which young men who start with nothing but intelli- gence, ambition, willingness to work, good habits and sufficient self-denial to save, and advance everywhere from pov- er to comfort, will hold in check all combinations of men which seek to de- stroy opportunity and to confiscate the savings, large or small, of all citizens. EDITORIAL NOTES. This is the month of brides and grad- uates. No wonder it is se pepular. A vote for the republican ticket means a vote for efficient city government. Another rainy Saturday to put the merchants in the doldrums of trade. Sound amplifiers will scarcely be need- ed in the Coliseum at Chicago this week. The uninstructed delegate rises to an important personage at :Chicago this week. Of what avail s a high rate of wage if conditions bring on a shert working week? Remember that in the Norwieh eity election today the polls open at 9 a. m. and close at 4 p. m. Now Schoolmaster Wilson calls our learned senators to account for the bad grammar in which they frame a bill, ‘Word to the effect that some states are increasing planting is good news. It will be needed to offset those where planting has decreased. By the simple expedient of threwing pepper into a clerk’s eyes the diamond thieves proceed merrily with their trade in New York city. The fact that the federal reserve board doesn’t .see any early relief from the high eost era doesn’t prevent others from doing some thinking. The man on the corner says: The price of sugar is a “sweet” reminder of the lack of business acumen of the dem- ocratic administration. A Norwich retail groecer assured a householder that sugar would be plenty at 27 cents. If the price went lower there would be a shertage. The agreement on the form of the budget measure ought to insure the early passage of this bill theugh it has taken a long time te do it. With the announcement that the ‘bol- shevik government shows a defieit of over 23 billion rubles for the year it will mean a speeding up of the printing presses. After being told so often that they were coming down only to be fooled; the people all jumped at the cut prices these days for fear that they will bound back into high. The government did what it could to contribute to the paper shortage. Last year 61,000,000 copies of government publications were distributed—and prob- ably largely thrown into the waste bas- ket by those who reeeived them. R S R S It Marshall Field, whese will is being contested because, he tied up his fortune until his grandsons beecome 50, wanted to keep them from leading useless lives of luxury and idleness hé should have given his money to charity and thus made them get out and hustle instead of giving them & chance to break the will or discounting it. SUGGESTIONS FOR THE HOUSEWIFE A novel salad is a Danish one made of herring and beets. " Roller ' shades of printed chintz are best for the sun parlor. B Never fail to wash poultry before it is prepared for the table. Beans will take the place of meat for two made each week. For large steamed puddings it i8 best to use a tube shaped mold. Brush bread with cold water instead of fat while it is rising; this prevents the formation of crust. Save oil paper to spread between the doily and the woodwork, if a flower pot stands on the doily. i Potatoes and parsnips cooked ean be served together if persons find the flaver of parsnips alone too strong. Newspapers sewed together and cov- ered with cloth will make a good pad te use on a dining room table. For grated cheese sandwiches toast the bread first, then sprinkle grated cheese on it and brown in the oven. Prepared horseradish is not so good as that which you grate and prepare at home. Old fashioned Indian pudding is a good single dish for the luncheon table. wet a clean rag with it and press it in the holes or cornmers where roaches enter, To make a little coat hanger for the baby's coat cut a piece -of cardboard in the shape of a hanger, get any kind of a hook and fasten it in the cardboard and cover it in pink and blue. 4 Melt a lump of suet in the Jiquor of boiling fowl. When cold fat is removed is one cake and good for shortening. BRASS FAUCETS. For cleaning brass faucets, lemon and salt have been recommended. A bright polish does result, but follow the acid by a rub with sweet oil or verdigris forms in all the moldings. CLEANING SAUCEPANS, If the saucepan burns do not put soda in them. Fill them with cold water and a handful of salt. Let soak until next day, and the burnt part will come off easily. But if soda is used the pan is likely to burn again the next time it is used. DRY CLEANING. Dry cleaning may be done at home with good results if a few suggestions of care are observed. It is preferable to do the cleaning out- doors if possible; if within the house it should not be done where there is a fire. A sufficient quantity of the cleaning fluid should be ready. A pad of clean cloth underneath the place to be cleaned will absorb the stain and extra cleaning fluid. The sponging may be performed best with a long, sweeping motion. A few drops of oil of cloves in the last rinsing water will help to destroy the objec- tionable odor of the cleaning ffuid. The material should be pressed after the fluid has been given time to evap- orate. HEALTH AND BEAUTY. If your skin is dry and rough, use cold cream in preference to soap When soap is used it should be an oil soap such as olive oil, castile or palm oil soap, or should be bran or oatmeal. . If your skin is oily, you can use a great deal of soap and may even do away entirely with cold cream. If you are ex- posed to a great deal of dust and dirt, the face may be washed twice a day with soap and hot water, a thing which would be ruinous to & woman with a dry skin. - Which ever type of complexion you possess, there is only one rule that ap+ plies 10 the use of face powder and that 1s—purchase the very best quality yeu can afford and pay more aitention to its purity than to its perfume. If you use rouge or any sort of make- up. use it sparingly. You defeat your own purpose, which is to make the skin appear more beautiful, as soon as you show that you have employed artificial means. You had better look a little too pale than too colorful. If there is any error let it be on the side of good taste, Obvious make-up is never in good taste. SHEET LORE. So many people stick hard and fast to the old rule of making the beds with the large hem of the sheets at the head end. This method does not give the linen equal wear, for the foot end soils much more than any other part of the sheets, needs more rubbing in laundering and, consequently, wears out sooner. Always reverse the sheets, using the wide hems at the head one month and the next month using them at the foot end. CARE OF SHOES. One little lady Seldom blackens her boots. She carries one of those handy. little lamb’s woeol shoe dusters in her shopping bag and keeps her boots al- ways free from dust. Every day she usés a stiff brush on the soles and the groove between sole and shoe, blacks and pol- ishes the heels and the edge of the sole then treats the rest to a bath with a sponge ligely moistened in milk. The boots take a dull pelish, never crack and keep their softness to a good old age. MODELING MATERIAL. Every child loves to make things, and with this materiai they may experjment in all manner of ways. All kinds of anjmals may be formed and all shapes of beads by running a hatpin through them to form the hole before they be- come hard. Take four tablespoonfuls of cornstarch eight tablespoonfuls of salt and eight tablespoonfuls of boiling water. Mix the idry ingredients in a smail vessel and pour on the boiling water, stirring until the mixture is soft. Put on the fire and stir until it forms a soft ball, then er- move from the stove and stir for ten minutes. For change a little eoler may be added, and the children will amuse themselves with this for days. Wrap in an oiled paper to keep from hardening when not in use. DICTATES OF ¥FASHION The over-the-skirt biquse continues in favor. Square neeks and short sleeves put in an appearance. The spring breezes will play with top- coats, capes and dolmans. Transparent hat brims have flowers laid flat between the tulle. Rows of stitching in bright colors are chic trimming. Novelty weaves in tricolette are be- ing used for spring blouses. Jersey dresses are still worn and they have permanently adopted the leng string belt. Satin eharmeuse draped with beaded georgette is comservative, but always satisfactory. Chestnut brown straw, with pink quills is a recent Paris idea for a hat. A dominant note in color schemes and designs is of oriental inspiration. Tailered dimity blouses and the latest tailored nets are also favored. Moecasin brown is a new color among negligees. ‘LONG GLOVES. ‘With the none too becoming short sleeves gaining steadily in popularity, it means that long gloves, despite the ex. orbitant prices asked for them these days, will be worn, will have to be worn by l‘mndmdl of women not blessed with Kerosene exterminates roaches. Merely'| pretty arms. : Long white gloves will doubtless # by the smartest wemen, but, t:: those looking for the edd and unusual dress the new two color gloves will im- mediately appeal. 3% They agr made of washable cape skin ‘with embroidered backs in black, tan and brown. The color combinations are pear] with putty, black with white, gary with sand and Newport with brown. CARE OF SILK PARASOL. ‘When a silk parasel is not in use, if tis- sue-paper is stuffed in each division to prevent the usual crease, this will pre- vent the silk splitting, as it so often does on the crease before the parasol is worn cleemhere. They say this lengthens the life of a parsol at least one season or more, 5 BIB TO MATCH DRESS. Table bibs for older children, made of the same material as their play dresses, arve less conspicuous than white ones. ‘When the dresses need alteration or patches the bibs will match better than new material, since they hae vbeen sub- Jeeted to the same wearing and bleach- ing process as’the garments. e LAUNDRY NOTES. New stockings should always be wash- ed before being worn. Powdered orris root under the ironing blanket will perfume the muslins that are ironed over it. " The best way to launder embroidered linen and make it look new and glossy i tn wash and rinse it well, then Wgng it out of water as hot as you can pos- sibly bear your hands in; let it lie a ghort tune wranped in a towel or other ¢lean cloth; then iron. ‘When washing crocheted yokes, if a &mall hand brush is used it will be mueh getter and saves the yokes tear and wear. For a convenient back-poreh or kitchen clotliesline take two large screw-eyes 216 one hook. “Place one ‘screw-eye very hi's on *wall and tie heavy cord to_ this, then place other screw-eye on the oppo- site side of kitchen and let cord come thraugh this from the top. Place the hook in convenient reaching distance on side of wall and wind cord around this te hold line in place. Your line can be let up or down and tea ‘owels and clothes are pulled up close to the ceiling and out of the way. FOR YOUR COMFORT. To keep ants from food—Put a fence of powdered chalk a few inches from the food and around it. To keep off mosquitoes—Rub ecitronella oit en hands and neck. To remove grease spots—Use cold er a tablespoonful of ammonia and soap to clean the cloth. To heat a tent on ceol nights—Fill a bucket with stones made hot by the camp fire. Invert in the tent and heat will radiate from it for a long time. To open a fruit jar—Place a hot rock on ten of cover for a few minutes. To remove burnt taste from scorched vemetables or soup—Put in a few pieces of raw potato. TESTING EGGS. When the freshness of an egg is doubt- ful break each one separately in a cup before mixing them together. To ascer- tain the freshness of eggs without hreak- ing them put them in a solution made of two ounces of salt to one pint of water. A fresh egg sinks, an egg a few days old has a tendency to rise a little in the liquid, while a stale egg floats on the top. CONCERNING WOMEN. Mrs. Mortimer Hancock of Asheville, N. C., has the honer of being decorated 14 times, most of them for services ren- dered under fire while acting as a Red Cross nurse. Irish girls are said to have the most beautiful hands, while those of the Eng- lish girls are too plump and fleshy. Next to the Irish girls the daughters of Po- land deserve the palm so far as the beau- ty of the hand is concerned. One of the most interesting French war heroines is Medame Renon, who in 1914, at the age of 17 years, joined the French army as a nurse. During the Franco- Prussian war she was a canteen keeper. LEMONS. If lemons are placed in cold water and allowed to stand a little while they can be grated more easily and in much less time than when dry. PRESERVE BUTTON The prevent buttons form being broken or pulled off by the wringer, button up the garments and turn them wrong side out before putting them through the wringer. LOUNGING JACEETS. Lounging jackets or téa coats are in high favor frem a fashion viewpoint, as well as for the comfert they give. Deshabile is the name that best de- scribes some French creations in these indoor dress novelties that are in shape nothing more than huge squares with lra\.md. square or V shaped openings in the center, permitting the square to bé siipped on oyer the head. But the eharm and beauty of these simple sacks lies in the materials used; lace and net, georgette and hand em- | broidery or fringe, or of handmake silk flowers. g RECIPES, Veal Oysters.—Lean veal, cut in pieces the size of an oyster, 1 egg, 1 tablespoon water. Cracker or dried bread erumbs. Salt and pepper. Cook veal in boiling water to cover till tender. Season with salt and pepper. Dip in erymbs, egg (slightly beaten with water) and crumbs. Fry in hot fat. Deep fat or a frying pan may be used. Meringue Pudding With Almond Cus- tard.—3 egg (Whites), 3-4 eup powdered sugar, 2 tablespoons lemon juice. Beat whites of egg till stiff and dry. Beat in sugar slowly. Add lemon juice drop by drop. Put in mold with hole in the cen- ter, set in a pan of hot water and bake in a moderate oven for 20 minutes. Turn ento a dish and fill center with boiled custard and chopped blanched almonds. LETTERS TO THE EDITOR Courthouse Damage and the Tinsmiths. Mr. Editor: Mr. Fox<seems to think that by a general denial of.the few facts quoted by me form the tinsmiths' doeu- uments, he can divert you and your read- ers into the belief that this is not a pub- lic matter, but only a personal discus- sion between himself and me. This is not the ecase. My quetations are facts, word for word taken from pa- pers served on all the employing firms of the city, and presumably of New Longon, also, as the documents new be- fore me are subscribed: “Local 55, Amalgamated Sheet Metal Workers, Norwich and New London, Conn.” The matter of dates, of which Mr. Fox makes a point—is not important— but the document before me dates the proposed agreement as follows: “To take effeet May 1, 1920, and to eontinue in effect until May 1, 1921.” This and the two other papers, were submitted with a blank spaee to be fill- ed in by employers as agreeing to their terms and provisions, and the envelope :n: the Norwich postmark, “April 4, p. m.” g The date, as I stated, is May 1, 1920. It is true that sheet metal workers have “mo jurisdiction,” per se., over the plumb- ers, because they ought not to have au- thority over them. The plumbers should be their own men, until their agreement with their emnloyu‘ expires. But when S pe | them by the ti the rest of us, can tell why the plumber left the city ‘hall roof unfinished and in an expesed condition. Furthermore, the per hour mere than plumbers and fitters shows that the - tinsmiths think them- selves weorth .more than the plumbers, I ed, but demand for compensation from May 1, 1802, to May 1, 1921 was to be one dol- lar per heur, which is 37 1.2 cents mth‘ _journeymen getting. This and hence have a right fo grant them the privileges named in their . edict— among which is to work for one hour on a job where a tinsmith is not available. If the plumber on the courthouse roof had been smart, he might have worked hour at a time, taking a rest of five utes between, and got the job finish- I suppose this action, when reported would have to have been refer- red to the joint committee for judgment, I now give his article, which Mr. Fox said I omitted—and which shows that the matter of “jurisdiction” is eonsider- ed and claimed under the head of Con- cessions ; namely Article 5. “In any case where doubt as te juris- diction may arise, the matfer to be re- ferred to a joint committee of each lo- cal” As Mr. Fox is on this committee, we would recommend him to study the language of these articles before he again attempts to write on the sub. ct. e AN EMPLOYING PLUMBER. Norwich, June 5, 1920. Btreet Work Superficial. To the Editor: This morning while reading my Sunday paper I found a sheet added to the paper telling of the won- derful (?) results of our present city ad- ministration, particularly showing re- sults of our street department which' as is well known has been run the poorest in years. A great deal of the work has been superficial and not lasting. I have in mind West Main street from Thames square going west up the_hills. It was poorly laid poorly protected, is again just prior to election paorly top coated and will not prove permanent. It is only a duplicate of other parts of the city. Look at Washington street on the curve near the Riley block, so rough that one driving north instinctively pulls over on the wrong side of the road. It was re- paired this year 1920—now almost as bad as it ever was. Forest street is in terrible shape and a letter calling attention to conditions on that street directed to Mr. Fox, the street commisisoner, was absolutely ig- nored as was a letter in regard to the condition of Manle Grove avenue. 1 am sure similar conditions could be cited all over the city. 1 hope the voters will do a lot of think- ing before casting their vote tomorrow and will vote straight republican and se- cure a good competent business admin- istration for the good of tfe city. Very truly, HENRY F. ULMER. Norwich, June 6, 1920. SNAP SHOTS OF DEMOCRATIC CON Copyrighted by G. M. Adams Service in 1/ democratic national conven- tions (including two in 186C) since 1856—the year when the present historic conflict between republicanism and de- mocracy began—six states, none of them included in that persistently dem- ocratic section of the country known as the "Seolid South,” have monopoiized the honors of providing the party with lws ’idential nominees. New York leads list with seven such recognitions for.her sons; New Jersey and Nebraska divide second honors, each with three nominations to its credit; Pennsylvania has furnished two nominees, and Illinois and Kentucky one each. Meanwhile, the party's vice presidential honors have been divided between nine states, in the Uise following inventory: Indiama, 6; lli- neois, ; Misouri 2;; Ohio, 2; Kentucky, 1; Georgia, 1; Oregon, 1; Maine, 1; West Virginia, 1. Chicago and St. Louis lead the rolls as “favorite convention cities” in which he thesé great national conclaves have oc- curred. Four times the conventions have gone to each of these places. Bal- timore has been three times the mecca; Cincinnati has two conventions to her credit; and Richmond, New York, Ken- sas City and Denver have each entertain- ed the convention once. In two ways, Democratic . National Convention history is strikingly differ- ent from republican national convention history ; and in both instances, convention “dules” are invoyved. A majority suffices tp nominate repub- lican candidates; but ever since 1832, when Andrew Jackson established the “two-thirds rule” to aid hi min forcing Van Buren's nomination for vice presi- deht, a two-thirds majority has always been necessary to nominate demoeratic candidates. Frequent efforts have been made to change this rule, but it still stands and has never been suspended. Its companion, the unit rule,”” under which a majority of a state’s delegation controls the entire delegation, also dicers from the standard republican prac- tice. It, too, was sacred for three- quarters of a century—until amended. at last, in 1916, consonant with the need to recognize the integrity of instructions from presidential primaries. The “two-thirds rule "has sometimes preyented majority nominees from reach- ing the final goal—like Van Buren in 1848, who had a presidential majority of 26 but could not get the necessary two- thirds presidential majority on the tenth roll-call but failed of the ultimate two- thirds. " Naturally this rule has prolonged democratic conventions beyond the re- publican average. Since 1856, the av- erage number of republican roli-calls to nominate a president has. been between four and five; the average number of demoeratic roll-ealls has been between nine and ten. The hardest fights were in 1860 when 59 roll calls were necessary to name Douglas; in 1912 when 46 roil calls were necessary to name Wison; and in 1368 when 22 roll calls were neeessary to name Seymour. Meanwhile democratic conventions, like republiean conventions have made little contest over second- place. Thirteen times, vice presidential neminees have been named on one bal- lott. Of the 17 nominations which this “Snap Shot” series will now proceed to record, five have won the elections at the’ succeeding November polls. To be continued tomorrow with story of the 1858 convention. the Five Minutes a Day With Our Presidents Copyright 1920—By James Morgan LXXIi—A STRANGE FORTUNE 180%—March 4, William McKinley in- augurated 24th president, aged 54, 1898—Feb. 0, Spain’s double dealing revealed in the publication of a Private letter from the Span- ish Minister.

Hay called on the Power to agree to the “open” door” in China. 1900—Aug, 15, the Allied Expedition to Pekin, Events make sport of the schemes of mice and men. McKiniey entered the race for the presidency on the tariff is- sue, was elected on the money issue. . . . and the greatest problems that confronted him in the White House were the fate of a chain of islands off the coast of Asia and the destiny of China ! Spain had been engaged for two years in a desolating struggle to hold in sub- jection the revolting island of Cuba, and two happenings pushed McKinley into the conflict in spite of himself. In a pri- vate letter, the Spanish Minister at Wash- ington scoffed at the President as “politicastro”—in plain American, a peanut politician”—and plainly intimated that the fair promises which the Span- jards were giving him were only a trick to fool the administration and the Amr ican people. Within the week of that exposure, the battleship Maine was blown up in Havana Harbor, with the loss of 266 American lives. After wothstanding for nearly two months the pepular outery of “Remem- ber the Maine,” the President yielded, and war was declared. In ten days Devey had smashed the enemy squadron in Manial Bay; in ten weeks, another squadron ‘was sunk or eaptured off Santiago; in three months and a half, poor old Spain threw up the sponge. Our navy proved itself eficient and quickly destroyed what small resistance the outmatched foe could hope o oirer Our little army of 275,400 men proved o its own worst euemy, losing only 345 killed in action or dying of wounds, but sacrificing 2,565 lives to disease—pitiful victims, for the most part, of unsanitary camps here at home. The small expeditionary force in Cuba easily whipped the armed foe in fromt of it, but was nearly compeiled to re- treat by invisible foes in its rear; Untrained and in- competent line and staff officers—poli- ticians and “sons of somebody"—were largely responsible for the breaking down of camp hygiene, the medical service and the service of supply. It took twice as long to make peace as to make war. The Philippines caus- ed all the trouble. As we had not cap- tured the islands in the war, many be- lieved that we should let them alone. Bnt MeKinley decided to demand from Spain the surrgnder of the Philippines.
