WORRYING ENGLAND.

If Great Britain has needed anything to bring home to it's people the full realization of the fact that a war is in progress and that, as has been pre- Yioasly claimed, England is fighting for her existence, 1t has now been sup Oiled by the German attack upon the E9ngIssza North sea towns. Accompanied fFTotsh it was by much daring such can hardly be considered unexpected since fhe probability of an invasion has been finder discussion for some time, sur- Srise even being expressed by milf rafy authorities that some such attack npnn the English coast had not been Attempted before.
 . The facts surrounding the rnoye- nnents Of the squadron Of German cruisers are lacking, but they have demonstrated conclusively that all the German navy is not tied up in the Kiel canal. Where they came from might be more easily determined il 1I1eir identity was known. However, Eheir excursion was accompanied by much hazard and if they succeeded in Binding the blockading British fleet So much greater their accompl lishment If they arg a part Of the main Ger man fleet, even though light cruisers they have made it apparent that they are not bottled up as tightly as claimed, while if there has been a pnnctnre of the British b1ockading line &nd this sally made for the purpose ot testing the freedom of German ves- sells, similar trouble of a much more serious character can be anticipated
 First class evidence is given that greater activity can be expected ir the North sea than has occurred ir the past. With Germany placing all responsibility for the war on Grea1 Britain it apparently intends to make It bear its proportionate part ane weaken the support to the continenta. armies by maintaining stronger de. tense at home.

PRACTICAL HOLIDAY RELIEF.

The Christmas season is always one for increased charity. There is always an opportunity to extend the helping hand and there are always plenty who are worthy of such attention. It is 8 season of gift making but it is also a time when great number would appreciate their Christmas presents in the form of necessities
 For many Christmas would be made happier by the extension of such re- lief and in realization thereof it is a good suggestion that is made by Chairman Clark of the National Clean RnI bureau of St. Louis when he points out that in almost every home there is an accumulation of old clothing. out- grown, out of style, and partly but not nearly worn out. Some of it is being worn by those who can afford new clothes and who ought to put the money, and the clothes, where they are needed. to stimulate trade and re- Iieve the suffering. But many of these old clothes are only cluttering the at tics and increasing the fire risk.
 IL can also be realized that if there was a cleaning out of attics and eel lars, as MT. Clark says, and the send ling of bundles, or the phoning of their whereabouts, to a bureau or orgariza- ,tion ensurfng their distribution under proper auspices and care, that much sprounpt and practical relief would be fgiven to much suffering among the many unfortunate in most communi ties
 Such an appeal might be applicable at other seasons of the year, but cer- stainly it could accomplish no greater good than by recognition of its worth at this time.

-pILLY pAILY .poIIcY.

l .
 It has been recognized from the very first that the maintenance of neutral ity is a highly desirable thing on the part of this government relative to the distressing situation across the water. It is, however, no less a duty of this country that neutrality be maintained at all it's possessions and among them must be included the canal zone.
 Only short time ago complaint was being made by the allies that certain countries of South America were per- mitting privileges in violation of rieu- trality whereby German vessels and interests were being aided At the present time Col. GoethaIs, governor of the canal zone, tells this government that warsn1ps arc needed by him in the maintenance of neutrality within the limits of Unified States territory It is as important that we remain true to our stand wherever the stars and stripes fly, otherwise one or mere of the belIigerents will soon be warrant ed in reminding us of our responsi- bility.
 It is just this which Col. .Goethals seeks to avoid. He knows his duty and is endeaYorlng to perform it, but finds it impossible with the equipment at hand. He has experienced some delay in getting decision upon his appeal to his superiors, bnE it is grat- flying that lie has been assured that he will get some assistance from the navy. It doesn't, hoBever, look as if a proper amount of confidence was being placed in him when diIly daily policy is maintained though it is known that prevention is better than cure.

GRADUALLY PRoVING ITS CLAIMS

Perhaps one of the most important announcements in connection with the plans made and projected for the de- velopment of Alaska is that which dis closes the coal in the government owned land in that territory to be of as good a quality as can be found on the Pacific coast. This is d decided improvement oyer the results of a pre- vious test for while the fuel taken from the Behring field failed to reach the required standard the subsequent test of coal from the Mataunska field shows gratifying results
 When if is declared that there is sufficient coal in this latter field to supply all the government wants upon the Pacific coast it can be readily rec ognized as a possession of vast i'm portance to the country, both for the direct benefit which will be derived and as further evidence of the wisdom of extending the government aid into that possession. It will be the govern ment owned road already approved which will permit of its proper devel- opnent and what 1t will do for the coal field there is every reason to believe it will accomplish in the opening up of the many other possibilities of that section.
 Alaska has waited long and patient ly for a recognition Of its extensive resources. It has continued to be a valuable contributor to the supplies required by this country while getting along under it's handicapped conditions
 but through the persistancy of it's ap- peal and the confidence in It's future stronger evidence is presented almost daily that it has what it claims and
 that it will yet get the attention it l deserves.

.TuRkgY MUST .APoLoelzE.

Germany was the cause of the en- trance of Turkey into the war. It Is equally as anxious that Italy should 1s8 least maintain neutrality, but if the act of the Turks in the attack upon the Italian consulate at Hiheida, Arabia. should be the pretext for Italy's entrance upon the side of the allies it would indeed be a boomerang to tue German strategy.
 All efforts will of course, be made to heal the rupture and the efforts of Germany can ps expected to be de- voted to giving Turkey some good ad- vice in the present situation. Italy naturally resents the invasion of its eonsulate and the taking by force thereRrom of the English consul to whom protection was being given

 Italy is not in a temper to be trifed with. II Is entitled to full respect and tho demand for an apolpgy and rep aration Is only what might be expected under the circumstances.
 Whether Turkey mi1l he disposed to hasten its apologetic action wiu de- pend upon the pressure which Ger many brings to bear, but there can be no question as to what that will be. 4rhc relations between Turkey and Italy are not such that Italy can be expected to overlook such an insult The issuance of an ultinatnm or the entrance of Italy into the war would be detrimental to The interests of Ger many as is evidenced by It's endeayors 10 prevent Italy from departing from tits present adherence to neutrality Thus it can be anticipated that Ger many will direct Turkeys answer, for what Germany says goes with Turkey nov.

THE WAR PRIMER By National Geographic Society

It is, the heart of ancient amberland and it has remained un- known to the ultimate consumers of its product from early Phoeniber. and the pipe-stem or cigar holder or jewel that is of this fragrant. translucent substance. was, likely gathered in its unTnanufaetured state on the beachee in the sand mines or from low Vata around this peninsula SaInland is ?. pblong arm of East Prussia eightee- miles in breadth, and reaching e,,-' forty three miles toward the BaIt.c Sea.

So it is that one hardly ever sees a Polish or west Russian nurse without heavy chains of these ornaments.
 To it's uucanny. or at least fays- terious Virtues. the value of amber has been largely owing. According to ancient lore. it was the substance of the tears Of the sisters of the iIcom- petent sun -charioteer, Phaethon, wfo after Their brothers death, were changed to poplars. The old Greeks and Romans set an immense value upon it, and in the days when Scy- thia and the Alps marked the ends of the earth, Greece and Etrliria traded with SaKniaurl's amber fishermen Even today amber is sold because of it's mystic qualities. The people of the East value it as a. stuff of proper potency for anulets, and amber charms against death, disease and the devil are made in practical Prussfan Samland for the Eiastern markets Thales of AiletuS, an ancient Greek philosopher first of the physicists. es tahlished the mystic powers of amber

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR
May Yet HeIp.

Mir. Editor: It was not intended to create tempest in a teapot by our Saturdays letter. However. we are glad to have our warped judgment re- adjusted in such an able and gentle manly manner and also to learn that there is less difference between South Killingly and other sections of the town than we have been led to be- leve. Ouch, Mir. Correspondent, have a heart! As you are great, be merci : full, and do mot wipe us off the map. You know a mouse once helped a lion, and perhaps in the dim and distant future little South Killingly may be of some assistance to her more exalted brothers.
