effect today. the government will ef-
feet b saving OF some $4,000 each
year for the next four years. This is
the estimate made by the department

For printing some 9.000,000,00O en-
velopes, the government effects saw
ing of 100000 year. This contract
covers all the stamped envelopes sold

begin today, the contract running for
four years. The envelope making

millions a day must be turned out to
meet the government needs
Another contract in effect today for
four years is for the supplying OF
400, 000,000 official envelopes and reg
istered package envelopes. $4,000
will be saved during the next four
years on this contract for not only has
the cost of manufacture been reduced,

Acting on Our sympathies.
waterbury American.)


DR.. Meyer-Gerhard was sent over to
Germany to tell the German govern
ment the exact facts as to government
purpose and popular feeling in the
United States. His first public state
ment has just been published in a
Berlin newspaper, in which he says
that there is strong feeling in Amer
lea against furnishing the Allies with
munitions of war. There is no doubt
such sentiment among German SYM
pathizers, but it would not do to in
terpret it as meaning that anything
like majority of the American peo-
pie feel that way. On the contrary,
we think they believe in supplying ITO
the Allies all the munitions that can
be made here, not because interna-
national law and treaties with foreign
governments allow At, but because, It
] Is duty to aid the world in penning
up and overcoming this interna-
tional mad dog. II we are prevented by
sufficient reasons from joining in the
war, 1T is not only our. right but our
duty to do what we can to aid the
belliegerents whose cause we regard as
just and with whose fortunes we are
sympathetic.

These tendencies are not spoken OF

the single-taxer undermining private
property in land, people buy fewer

do all that the I. w. w. leaders pro-
pose. Meanwhile taxes are pilins up
to pay for things that people might
better do for themselves. Insurance
is charging higher rates as a result
OF rising risks. Every excuse IL
jumped at by legislator and reformer
to overload business with burdens.
The wonder is that we have any bust

THE FOURTH OF JULY.

Before the stores OF New Britain
close today every man, woman, and
child should see to 1t that an Amer
lean flag, or a tri-co1ored ribbon Of
Red, White and Blue. has been Sc
cured for tomorrow, the Fourth Of
July.
On every American breast there
should be displayed the colors of the
nation. This year the Fourth Of July
has double meaning It takes on
added significance at this time when
other nations are at each others
threats. The birthplace Of Old Glory
is the one great nation in the uni
verse today. Now is the time to re-
new the spirit of patriotism
We have come to the dividing Of
the ways. Some Of us are Ameri-
cans, others there are who profess
allegiance to other lands This is
true,-No man can serve two mas
ters. Either one thing or the other,
we are American or we are not.
Either we must bow to the dictates
of king, or be part Of government
made by our own hands.
The entire nation has united this
year in an effort 70 make tomorrow,

A Single Presidential Term.
CHEW Haven Journal Courier !,

a38 (NeW Haven SJOurnal- COurier.)
Tits not at all surprising that the
rumor should gain currency that in
his own good time Mr. Bryan will re-
8vive the agitation of single term
for presidential occupant. We shall
be assured that he is not insisting
upon the recognition OF that plank in
the Baltimore convention out Of pon-
teal animosity to his dear old frieno
and chief. but out Of sacred prin-
ciple
BY no stretch Of reasoning can the
declaration of the Baltimore conven-
! ton, in favor of legislation providing
the limitation of the presidential Of
flee to one term, place upon Presi-
dent Wilson. should his party desire
him again to become It's candidate
Tor that high office, the burden OF
sacrifice. Tt is perfectly consistent
for him to be supporter of single
. presidential term and yet be a cam
qidate for q second term. 1t would
be q Don Quixote performance for
him to anticipate a provision Of the
federal constitution forbidding Sc
cond term and extending the term
of the orfi,e TO six or seven years
Mr.. Bryan has perfect right to agi-
tate for such provision of the cen
stitution, but 1t would be in wretched
taste for him to undertake to cont
pei he democratic convention to put
the theory into independence practice.
OF all periods this is the least
promising for the consideration of the
next presidential campaign. The
wheels Of the world are going around
SO rapidly that no single man ~
single political party can keep up
with their distracting and nerve racs>
ing achieverne nts. There is still much
water to 20 over the dam before It's

Mr.. Lansing and the Frye Case.
Providence Journal.)

(PrONldence Journal
The quality of our new secretary Of
state Is shown in his note to Germany
on the case of the sinking of the
American ship William P. Frye.
With equal courtesy and frmness,
Mr.. Lansing demonstrates to the Ber-
lin government that the destruction of
this wheat laden vessel in the Pacific
ocean was in violation OF the existing
treaty between Prussia and the United
States, and therefore cannot be sub
mitted to the decision of German
prize court
The case is plainly one for direct
diplomatic negotiation, not for the
judgment of an ex-parte tribunal over
which Germany but not the United
States, has jurisdiction.
The new secretary is at his best In
this dispassionate and convincing COM
munication. The note hows the disci-
plined mind and hand. The country
has every reason to rejoice that there
Is an experienced dipl mat at the head
of the cabinet instead of merely
rhetorical politician deficient Doth in
training and temper for the niceties
of International negotiation.

from this station all the information
about outgoing merchantmen has
been given to commanders of German
submarines If these charges are true
the plant should be closed down or
operated BY the United States govern
ent. There is sort of censorship ex-
ercised at Sayville now, but experts
claim the men in charge Of the plant
censorship is useless.
Under the censorship originally inn
posed on the Sayville plant no cipher
messages, except for foreign embas-
sizes, have been permitted to be sent,
and such code messages were de-
spatched only after approval by the
State Department. The sending OF
certain messages phrased in plain
English are the ones questioned. It
Is said these messages may have hal
hidden meanings. Officials of the
Navy Department claim they can
have no absolute security against vio-
lation of neutrality until they get con-
trof Of the wireless keys at Sayville.
The Department Of Commerce has
gathered evidence Of alleged viola
ton of neutrality by the wireless
plant 1t is with this information
that Secretaries Redfield and Lans
ing have conferred on the advisability
OF taking over the plant Their de-
cision will be made public in day or
so.
n If the charges against the Sayville
management are true, that they have
been using American territory as the
base Of hostile operations, they should
be compelled to stop this traffic. The
United States was not long in stay

methods should be used in all cases

Wall Street Journal.)


Thot sands of intelligent people the
country over are still asking, Why
does not business get on the jump,

of decisions of the supreme court Of
the United States is decidedly in its
favor I"
More than that, almost the whole
world. outside of the belligerent ma
tons of Europe, and all Of them that

us for goods. A big hotel In New
York which a year ago had 30 COM
mercial men in 1t as guests from
South America, had no less than 400

Business generally is not going TO
lay out plans and start on broad poll
cies so long as this war in Europe Is
no nearer being decisive. But even
with that war unsettled, business in
the United States with its unmatched
domestic market should be much bet
ter than it is--but for one thing, the

people are making against private
property and personal responsibility

A shot at this time might be the be-

once.
Making Munitions.
New, London Day.)


There has been considerable spccu-
lation as to what is going to happen
to those cities now booming under
the impetus of munitions manufacture
when the war is over. In Bridgeport
especially the situation is interesting
because there are many thousands of
persons engaged there in the making
of arms and ammunition who must
inevitably experience the loss of their
present occupations all at the same
time and probably without much
warning when the day arrives when
Europe shall need no more such sup
plies.
But il is by on means inevitable
that the end of the war will mean the
dismantling and abandonment OF the
plants nor the disorganization OF the
Industrial units which are engaged
in this class of work Such plants and
such organizations possess the quality
of convertibility. The forge that can
beat the plowshare into the sword
can beat the sword into the plow-
shares, the machinist who calipres O
gun brrrel can use his calipres with
equal effect on a printing press gear.
The home that shelters the loader OF
cartridges will serve as effectually the
straightener of needles.
When the war is over and the world
returns to the pursuits of peace and
industry shall devote itself to more
useful productiveness the factories.
the machinery, the skilled labor and
the ready housing of such towns as
Bridgeport will constitute an asset, in
bidding for new enterprises. against
which no competition can stand I'M
til they are absorbed.
Those towns which are busy with
war orders need not worry much
about reaction to come. They will suf-
fer from none that is not general and
the dollars that they are piling up
now will be extremely comforting
things if there should come, as some
gloomy souls anticipate, a world wide
period of depression after the war.

the contrary, 1t is the purpose OF this

Americans gather there should be

when the stars come out. and we stop
awhile and ponder over the terrible
terrors taking place in other parts Of
the world, every man on American
soil should take off his hat and thank
