Thus it appears that in the changes in the state department there has been no truckling te the politicians. The secre- taryships will be filled by men in whom there will be full confidence while those who are sent to the European posts are likewise men of long experlence and with fecords of commendable service. TREATY RATIFICATIONS, When the United States senate rati- fles the naval treaty it doesn’t simply are to be-gotten rid of and the way opened for the building of just as many more to replace them, but it means an of them new, but the real important feature is that new construction is to be limited. For a definite period no capi- tal ships are to be built and thereafter only under a fixed plan and with the size of the vessels and their armament limited. There is to be no more of the headlong race to outdo the other nation, or that expensive contest in bringing out a new and better type of warship than the other nations in the world. It may be a rellance upon a treaty in- stead of upon as big a navy as can be built but that reliance is bolstered up by the fact that there is an agreed ratlo of strength fop- the respective natlons. Hence it isn't a case of trying to outdo At the same time the naval treaty was ratified it was highy proper that there should be ratified the treaty regardin the limitation of submarines and poison gas. The war clearly showed the wis- dom of such a.course. The frightfulness of both was too fully illustrated for any extensive debate over the restrictlon of these war terrors. It is realized that before the war the use of poison gssl was forbidden under the rules of war as fixed by international agreement. Those rules were violated by Germany and others were forced to adopt similar methods. Germany is feeling the effects of its flagrant violation and mothing: could be better than the reendorsement of that law against poison gas at this time by those nations which would have obeyed it had the common enemy re-| spected its promise. That the submarine has its proper use in the war is t0 be admitted but the fe-| is only a move for the protection of hu- manity involved in the war. —_— AIDING LIBERIA. This country has been asked to make| a loan of $5,000,000 to Liberia, part of ! which is to be used in repaying British| and French loans made ten years ago, and ‘the remainder for the strengthening! of the defense of that country and gov-; ernment in view of the fact that mot| more than 75.000 of the million and a half population are civilized and they are located along the coastline. Because it was there that so many of the American Negroes went there has! always been an interest displayed by this country. At the present time there is financial control exercised over that| country by the United States as the re-| sult of a treaty agreement with France and Great Britain which countries hav. eolonies on either side. This country has maintained a receiver general there | for a number of years. Under the proposed loan it is Intended that there should be an American finan- clal commission named by President Harding and appointed by the president of Liberia which would have full con- jtrol of the customs of that country al'u!J which would cease to exist when the! loan that is sought had been repaid to tuously. something else- about anything that interests youl” tested the pretty niece kindly. it is impolite and selfish not to be inter- ested in Wwhat other people want to dis- cuss——-" striction of its use against merchantmen | yy; \ “I thought you GETTING the were prettiest | niece, “Usually she is an old cat and bridesmaid of them all” sdid the de-|thinks nobody amoints to anything at voted bachelor uncle, who was discussing | all except her own daughtef—not that I the wedding of his fascinating niece's|don't admire Agatha Domes, but best friend. “The others were right | dearest friend couldn't deny she bas an her enough, but you stood out among them, |awful nose and— I'm here to tell you!

EDWARD EVERETT HALE On June 10, in 1809, thére died one! {of the most unusual men in American ' history and literature, Edward Everett ! Hale, at the age of 87. He was for three quarters of a century one of the most eminent of our authors, philan- thropists and clergymen. On the 6th of June, four days be-| fore his death, Dr. Hale noted in his diary: “The first White Sunday in the 5 years of my pastorate without a itesunday sermon. Dr. Temple for- bade me preaching today. The theory was that I would do too much tglking if I went to church.” During the last years of Dr. Hale's life he may be said to have been con- stantly in the harness. He still preach- ed, he gave lectures and addresses and still wrote, in spite of his age. During his entire life Dr. Hale enjoyed good health, and during the last five years of it he spent the winters in Wash- ington. At this period he was engaged con- stantly in writing for the newspapers and magazines, especially for the “Christian Register,” the “Outlook,” and the “Women's Companion.” He lik- ed these opportunities to speak to a large audience. He knew he had some- thing worth saying, and he wanted to say it to ag inany people as possible. For the “Outlook” he wrote his “Mem- ories of a Hundred Years,” which was exactly the kind of writing that he liked. It was a history of the United | tates in the nineteenth century from a personal standpoint. At thig time also he collected a standard edition of his writings. Such an edition could not include everything that he had written, even had he wish- ed. He completed his collected edition in fen volumes when he was seventy- eight years of age. In December, 1903, when Dr. Hale was close to 82 years of age, he was he left in 1908 he wag secretary of legation and consular-general. For a year he was minister-gesident and consul-general to Abyssinia and then he was shifted to South Amdrich. From 1910 to 1912 he wag stationed in Constantinople, then returned to ‘Washington for a season to be head of the division of Near Eastern af- airs. Another period of sereral years at Constantinople wag followed, in 1917, by his appointment to Colom- bia.

Mr. Tditor: This means is taken, with your kind permission I trust, to inform sportsmen and th2 public in general a few facts concerning the fish and game laws so that no person will violate cer- tain sections of them unknowingly. It is unlawful to fish on brooks until next Saturday, Avril 1st, when the trout season opens and June 30th is the last day one can fish on brooks this year. Taking of small trout Iléss than inches in length is forbidden and this law will be enforced. No person shall take more than twenty brook trout or brown trout in one day. Trout to be taken by hook or line attached to a rod held in hand. or the line itself held in I wish to state that all laws con- cerning trout and the violations of same that come to my notice will be vigorous- Ity prosecuted and enforced to the limit as will all violations of the other fish and game laws of Connecticut, ~o person shall fish on lakes and ponds ing Cove rond.
