ALL ENDS HAPPILY.
Hill Episode Turns Out to Advantage
of the Ambassador.

Berlin, March 31.-The advices re-
ceived at the foreign office from Wash
ington indicate that in the American
capital as well as in Berlin the Hill
episode is regarded as having been
happily adjusted. The best Diplomatic
opinion is that if Mr.. Hill chooses to
come to Berlin, he will find his posi-
ton not only agreeable, but more i'm
portant that would have been the case
Char1emagne Tower, the retiring
American ambassador, in fulillment Of
his letter to President Roosevelt last
September in which he said that he
would ask leave to resign early next
summer has now fixed the date at
June 1, and has also informed the pres
ident. Mr.. Tower gave legal notice
last October to the owner of his resi-
dence here that he would give up his
house the first of May and it has been
advertised for rent. The occupancy of
this building is now under discussion
as suitable for the Japanese embassy
purchased by Japan.
Hills Name Goes In.

HILL IS CONSERVATIVE.
he Says Revival of Business Must
Necessarily Be Slow.

New York, March 31-Discussing
business conditions James j. Hill, just
arrived IN this city from Washington,
expresses himself as unable to predict
can not permit myself to be too opti
mlstlc,' he said, 81 am trying not to be
pess1mistic. The general recovery in
business which has been predicted has
not vet manifested itself to any re-
markable degree and it is not to be ex-
pected that it should. The prevailing
condltlons were not brought about over
night. They are the result of events
or many months, and a revival will no
doubt be correspondingly graduated"

Thanksgiving day does uplift everyone to some degree is generally recos- naed, Hence we have reason to be thankful for the day.
 We hope 1t will prove to be par ticulary thankful day with the read CTS of The Journal-Courier even though the past year may hayo harsh recollections for some The Journal Courier certainly has reason to be thankful, for the past year has been good to 1t and has recognized Its de- termination to enter completely into the life of New Haven and Connecti- cut as worthy of substantial support If another year equals the grateful encouragement of the past to stand for what Is good for the greatest number, our thanks will be expressed with extreme difficulty In the mean time we are thankful with the whole country that the immediate future is so full of hope

They were both alike in this respect, that their separate object was to ex- change ideas and views upon subjects which possess mutual interest. Had 1t been the practice of the governors of the New England states in the past to meet together with representative citizens for the purpose of testing sec tional opinion with regard to any com mon need it is entirely likely that the states of Massachusetts and Connectt- cut for example, would have long orc this reached a conclusion as to railroad legislation which would have added greatly to New England prosperity
 It cannot and ought not to he the oh- iect of New England states to work to- gether for their own welfare regardless
 of the welfare or other states but 1t can be made their object and it ought to be made their object to SO work to- gether for legislation. which spells their mutual advantage that it will be accomplished There will always be check, too upon any concerted move ment which might be calculated to
 work sectional disadvantage Gov crnors come and go, and representa- tive citizens come and go with them
 so that 1t is inconceiyable that steps
 should be conceived which did not have
 their beginnings in an alert public opinion In fact the more the idea of
 occasional conferences of New Eng land governors with their friends are considered, the more apparent if be-
 comes that only good can result
 Massachusetts and Governor Guild
 have done splendid service in thus hay ing brought to the attention of the peo- ple of New England some of their un-
 suspected possibilities, and in having
 awakened them from a provincial sleep.

NEW ENGLAND CONFERENCE.

The adjournment of the first confer ence of New England states to be held under the auspices of the governor of Massachusetts has further emphasized the importance of the theory involved Not in many generations, if ever, have the states Of New England been brought go close together lt has been a long, long time since each realized the strength of it's immediate neigh bors in working out problems which are common in their application
 In a sense the credit for the New England conference belongs to MT Pinchot, who originated the conference of governors, which was held at the White House under the distinguished patronage of President Roosevelt The success which attended that meeting naturally suggested a similar confer enco of the states of New England

THANKSGIVING DAY.
Golfers Week1yl


 Roasted chestnuts, woll-cooked tur- key the tawny pumpkin pie, and the swollen larder are playful symbols of tie holy day, the purpose of which Is to bid defiance to oncuming winter Men make them fire, and heap the ia- hle and gather their friends that they may voice their unconcern for the sul- len months just ahead. Thanksgiving day Is the stlrrup-cup to the long jour ney We rejoice that we may rise and march again Thanksgiving day Is the scarlet banner that we throw out to the November winds We accept the chal- lenge of winter, the rigors Of unlovely climate. the gathering of snowdrfts. Frozen and wind whipped and driven to cover, we make of mans natural enemies the orchestral accompaniment 10 his banqueting, and listen to the north wind driving down the street as to strlnged instruments--a lullaby of gray wolves. Man tunes him a chorus from the impIacable elements in his own destiny He rears in altars to the powers that fay him, sacrifices strong birds and beasts to his unruly fate and drinks 10 the everlasting memory of his agony.

THE RED CROSS STAMPS.

What more appropriate than 10 consider philanthropy on a Thanksgiv- ing morn' Seldom has q more appro- priate or q more beautiful Christmas conception been given to the public than the Red Cross Christmas stamp, Even the chldrens implicit belief in a Santa is not more delightful II is pleasing to note, then, that the Red Cross stamp movement will this year not only be extended to New Haven and Connecticut but from one end to the other of our land
 TO those with whom the stamp idea Is an unknown institution i may be explained that the idea has been bor- rowed from the Red Cross society of Denmark The plan is to sell the stamps at so much each and for every purchaser to attach one to the wrapper of every Christmas gift he may send out. The proceeds will go toward the anti-tuberculosis campaign in the state where the stamps were purchased, The price for each stamp will be in nnltessmal, but in the aggregate the funds which are sure to be realized, if every one co-operates the way they should, will be great, The stamps were introduced al Christmas time last year in the state of Delaware by the Red Cross society of that state and an issue of 50. 0oO was soon exhausted and sec ond of 100000 was barely enough to supply the demand
 There is to-day no more worthy sub | feet for charity than the fight on con sumption, no philanthropy which may more appropriately he connected with ! the Christmas season. One Individuals part in the good work ends when he sticks his particular stamps on his par ticular Christmas packages, but the re suits do not end there. Every recipient of every package catches the spirit of the movement when he gees his bundle In turn, he puts Red Cross stamps on his package, and SD the good work goes on until. as somebody has express ed it, there s a regular epidemic of good intentions The beautiful part about the whole philanthropy is that 1t comes from those most able to con tribute.
 These stamps will be on sale in Con nocticut within short time Judging from experience elsewhere, the move ment will meet with the ready response here that 1t deserves. The stamps will be sold Hngly or in sheets. like the postge stamps Every stamp used means real contribution 10 the mag uifcent fight against the great white plagne. Here surely is cause which should have the hearty cooperation of all when the right time comes,
