GREAT LOSS AND SUFFERING
IN BATTLE OF ADRlANOPLi

Belgrade, April 1.-The first train
load Of wounded Servians arrived here
Sunday from Adrianop1e. Their story
shows that the lighting which preceded
the capture of Adrianople was the most
terrible Of the war. The Turks fought
with the courage of despair, but the
perseverance of the Servians and the
excellent leadership of the commando
ers, resulted in their gaining the day.
Some of h men We're very severely
wounded, but the majority are suffer-
ing only from slight bullet Wounds.
One of the wounded officers said.
THE siege was an unbroken chain
of suffering for the besiegers. which
reached Its climax in the bitter cold
of January and February. The snow
lay six feet deep n sentries died at
their posts. The skin of every soldier
was parched by the intense frost, while
In the trenches the mems feet were
cut by the sharp ice breaking every
in mud and water, covered only by
canvas.
ION some days dozens OF men were
frozen to death. There were snow
plains for 20 miles around: no wood
could be found and even when 1T was
brought, fires were forbidden SO as not
to betray our position"
All the officers agree on the terrible
losses sustained in the final attack.

which was about an average OF the reg
iments who attacked the forts. The
Turkish guns kept up a terrific fire,
and the Servians made three attempts
against Papastepe before taking that
position, and then only at a tremend-
ous cost Of life from the fire of the
Turkish machine guns.
Fort Topyolu' was another hard nut
to rack. When within 500 yards the
~Servians, who were accompanied by
a Bulgarian regiment, met such q ter
rible fire and with mines exploding
and men falling, that the Bulgars re-
tired. leaving the servians alone. The
Servians again advanced under cover
Of darkness. creeping like cats, and
preceded by hand bomb throwers. The
Turks did not discover them until the
bomb throwers were upon the trenches,
The Bulgarians then came up under
command of a sergeant, having lost
all the commissioned officers, but again
retired.
After the fort had beer taken the
Turks repeatedly made counter attacks
and with their machine guns inflicted
heavy losses on the invading forces,

COMMERCIAL ACTIVITY.

As each day brings nearer the open ing of the Panama canal it increases the importance and emphasizes the prospect of more commercial activity which has set the manufacturers and importers to investigating how the possibility of trade increases can be advanced by the cutting short of the transportation routes. which the new waterway will effect Investigation has shown that Australia will be brought into close relations. almost as a neighbor when the overseas shipping begins to go through the Gulf of Mex leo. The distance from New York to Sydney will be reduced $500 miles and should the Suez canal be closed at any time for war all the shipping would be by way of Panama.
 Australia has been undergoing rapid development in many lines including agriculture. cattle raising. fruit grow ing and other industries besides wool growing and these offer magnificent opportunities with the outlet bettered to the markets of this country. The same is offered in the way of exports from this country and it Is by no means confined to this portion of the British empire for there are other Pa cific coast countries which are due to profit from the advantage offered by inter ocean communication. It is the realization of the possibilities of such increased trade opportunities which is going to stimulate the activity of the business interests of the country, not only towards Australia and New Zea- land but to South America and other countries.

HARM IN RECALL

When Professor Taft dealt with the recall in his lecture before Yale stu dents he made a most sensible pre- sentiment of the dangers which such form of legislation would result in if adopted in national government His reference to the fact that there have been acts within the administrations of many presidents of the country, which at the time would have meant their removal from office had the recall been in effect, but the wisdom of which has long since. been recognized and on which. to a large extent, their fame and record of national service has been based is well understood in the cases If Washington. Lincoln. Jefferson and Madison. Time has eradcated the feel ing which would have brought about a national catastrophe under the recall and shown that they were actuated by the hest motives and for the country s hest interests.
 The recall has its advocates for the purpose of bettering the administration of government but the tendency of it's influence is to keep 1t in line with the forces which are most likely to at tack if and 10 give over to mob rule the important observance of law and justice, Prof. Taft in referring to it as hair trigger" methods considers that the objection to the recall is not that it takes away the office from the official, but that it is an obstacle to the efficiency of government and therefore a danger instrument, the purpose of which can more safely be obtained another way!

VOTING MACHINES NEEDED.

Regrettabe is the indication that the city election must be anticipated with the return to the type of ballot which caused so much confusion and trouble throughout the state and which always permits of an incorrect count and the throwing out of a variable per cent of the votes east With the purchase of voting machines by the town it was supposed that the uncer- tainties of the printed ballot had been overcome and that henceforth cleo tions both in the town and in the city could be held with the assurance that the votas would be counted as cast and that all those who voted would be cer- tain that their vote would not be thrown out or counted differently than was intended. The voting machine has by it's trial demonstrated that it is the easiest, quickest and best method of getting and counting the desire of the electors.
 Norwich is certainly desirous that this should govern every election. The idea of refraining from adding this feature to city elections because of trouble between voting machine con- cerns is borrowing trouble. Nauga- tuck has had voting machines in use within a fortnight without interfer- ence and there is no reason to believe that any attempt will be made to pre- vent the city arranging with the town 70 use machines which are the prop erty of the town The machine safe guards the rights of the vote while the return to the ballot simply i'm perils them. Elections cannot be ben efited by starting in to go backward.
