GERMANS TEAR THEIR HAIR

FOUNDLY CALM.
Don't Want Any One Else to Believe
They Think That France Is Not
Behaving in Morocco.

( BERLIN. August 24-German official cir
cles depreCate the idea prevailing in certain
foreign quarters that the visit of the French
ambassador. Jules Cambon. to Chance lor
Won Buelow at Norderney today was occa-
stoned by the latest developments in Mo-
rocco, and that Won Ruelow's invitation to
him means that Germany is disquieted over
the Casa Blanca Incidents and is about to
change her attitude toward the French
course in Morocco
The officials here say that on the con-
trary the ambassadors visit to the chan
cellor is due to the wish expressed in July
by NJ. Cambon to see Prince Won Buelow,
whose other engagements prevented an ear
ner invitation. While the fighting at Casa
Blanca has not caused the meeting of the
two statesmen at Norderney, they VIII talk
over the Moroccan situation. This does not
mean. however. that Germany is seeking
any special arrangement with France. This
Is impossible in view of the terms of the

Germany thus far sees no occasion to de-
part from her previous policy of yielding to

AN UNAPPRECIArEp RIGHT.

You can lead horse to the trough, but you can't make him drink. You can give a man the right to vote, but often he is neither eager nor willing to exercise it. And the same way with women who think they want the right to vote and get it. They are going to make an interesting experiment in Australia in attempting to make men vote. A compulsory voting bill, gov ernment measure, js now under diseus- sion in Victoria. The measure is of- fered to arouse the electoral apathy which is said to have been increasing 1 of late all over Australia. The failure to vote is to be punished by fine of $5; but a curious concession is made to the lazy citizen in provision which permits him to send his ballot by mail
 A compulsory voting law is not q novelty. Belgium has one, but little is said about it's working. Of course men ought to appreciate the right to vote enough to make compulsory vot- ing laws unnecessary. But there is, we suppose, a real need for them in all the voting countries. There is even in this land of the free and home of the brave. The voters here don't vote un- less they take a notion to and 1t fre- quently requires as much pulling and pushing to make them take the notion as it does to load cattle into car. They ought to value their right much more than they do, as much for in- stance. as those who want the votes value them.

nUILDING IN NEW HAVEN.

It is costly time to build now yet last year in New Haven buildings were put up which are valued at $3,O1S,S9 about million more than the value of the buildings put up in 1905. And twenty-one of the new buildings last year were factory buildings. This is a brave showing. It indicates rapid and solid growth. And the twenty-one fac- tory buildings indicate still more growth to come.
 Some of the important cities of the country suffered a falling off in build ing operations last year. This was not surprising in view of the great cost of building material and labor. That New Haven could and did show an increase indicates that there was actual pres sure here for more houses to live in and more buildings to do business in. That's the way we want it. There was time when it looked as if New Haven was oYerbuilt a little, And we suppose that now there are houses in the market which do not sell readily. But the situation is on the whole healthily active, New Haven is going to be big city sometime. Perhaps as big as certain other cities, which shall here be nameless, feel.

Spring like day Sunday night the winter de- mon made quite an effort to get dold again, but his grip slipped, and yester- day was a great shock to his inagina- ton and his impotence. While it is not yet safe to boast as one who put teth his armor off, it is safe now to ex- pect more days in which life instead of death will predominate, and some good day we shall see our beloved Green again, with the tender blades of the growing grass sticking joyously and hopefully up into the sweet and calling air.
 So let us press strongly on through and past the wintry things that so easily, numerously and dangerously beset us, The annual resurrection of life and hope is in sight, and We want to share in it. Happy they who arc permitted to see a new Spring, to feel its sweet mystery and to rejoice in the glory of its promise.
