EMeAReo oN MunIrlona.

The persisteucy with which the placing of an embargo on firearms. for bel1gienent nations is urged indicates the bias with which the promoters of such view the situation. An expres- slen was recently secured from For nler President Taft bearing upon this matter Though confidential when written, permission to make 1t pub HC was later secured, and therein the former head of the nation told Dr.. Yon Mach who sought the opinion that not only was he opposed to such leg Lslatpon but 1t would be q violation of neutrality inasmuch as such action would result in benefit to but one of the beiligerents. It would in other "ofds be taking sides in the European war
 This permitted the retort that fur nlsf1nS of such supplies to only one slde' as IS now the case, IS also un- neutral and such might be so if 1t was the case; but 1t isn't. This coun- try stands ready as it always has to furnish War supplies to each and every purchaser. It is doing business III that line as in many others just the sanla as # the war did not exist Or deFs from one heIligerent will be filled with as great dispatch and apprecjs.- ton as from another. We are con ductlnS as much of an open market in such supplies as interna tional law permits, as we arc in cotton.
 The trouble arises over the delivery Each belligerent can take away such goods as il orders. If 1t cannot land them on it's own shores, or those of other countries so that they will event ually receive them. it is the fault of the enemy, not the United States. GerHany's inability to get munitions of war here is solely because Great Britain has shut off it's commerce as an act oP war Germany has the right 10 do the same thing to the allies if u lS aoles but 1t is not for this coun- try as q neutral 10 adopt new legisla- ton to clrcumvent the act of one bel !iseIeilt against the other.

MAKE BREAD AT HOME.

Q. The idea, of six cent bread does not a. set well among d large number of people. although 1t does not mean such a prohIbitIVe increase after all. There has been a stiff advance jn the cost of flour and the profit to the bread makers must be somewhat lessened -zet. those whe must meet that in- ..crease are less able to meet the high Ter cost of living.
 The possibilities of home made bread have by no means disappeared and while there is q widespread disposition to meet the expense of the accommo- --dahon- afforded by bakers product, the l-cffort which is being made by the
 Housewives league of New York to bring about . return to the home made article for the meeting of the exist ing conditions ought not to fail The fact Is that bread can be made cheap and better at home. It means a little HsTnore work. but to those who are short on cash and feeling the results of cur tailed employment, no opportunity for --contri putting to the family larder can Joe overlooked. especially when there e -c7.n be effected a saving of nearly two = cents a loaf as well as q saving in = sutr1tlTe value. There is no question 2 but what 1t must be realized by many Z. Tn these times that q penny saved is penny earned.

EXCELLENT APPOINTMENT.

Just as Governor Holcon1b won the approval Of the entire state by his
 appointment of Charles J. Bennett for -- highway commissioner because he had . the qualifications and had demon -s strated his ability to handle the job for ; - the best interests of the state. so will g his nomination of C, C. ElWell for q -s place upon the public utilities com H7 mission carry widespread endorsement.
 By his early appointment the gov
 ernor has forestalled 8. lot of public
 campaigning In behalf of different candidates. He has, not picked out sr politician. but he has selected a man who Is thoroughly conversant with every detail that is required of
 such q. board. 4 practical and eff
 gient railroad man of long experience sin the very commonwealth where he
 will serve engineer at the present time -- for the very commission Of which he shas been selected to be member and
 g man 0f the highest qualifications for -.-slch q position, there can be no sur- ! prise over the selection and it must oz be agreed that the governor has made -a most comnendable choice.
 = Such nominations as the governor has thus far made manifest the de- termination to guard well the interests - of the state. His action displays 2.
 l-Eh regard for duty and justides the
 confidence that was placed in him by
 the voters of Connecticut last No

CRIME ENOUGH WITHOUT ENvi-
 TATIOK.

Those who a-e advocating the a.noi- ishnent CT capital punishment as a deterrent and penalty fer murder arc endeaVorins to obtain silyccct for their contention from the fact hat the ex- istence of such q law at the present time did not prevent the brutal murder of the priest and his nousekeeper at New Britain. Capital punishment has stood on the statute books for 3. good many years yet there have been re- peated hon1icides, because while it was known that the law existed there was also the willingness to pay the penalty or the belief that the law could be circumvented
 It is impossible to tell how many have been restrained from taking life because it was known what penalty awaited them, and it never will be known, but throw down the penalty commensurate with the crime, or even make the limit of life imprisonment only twenty-five years and what add ed protection is going to be given to the law-abiding people? It is a most comn1endable effort which seeks to reform and extend a chance to those Tn the lawless and criminal class, but those efforts had better be made be- fore, rather than after such d crime as has occurred in New Britain
 Is 1t going to be claimed that the priest was to blame for his stand against the operations of the black hand or the anarchists, who are sus- pected of the foul murder? Yet every attempt that is made to tighten the penalty of those who perpetrated the crime, after their guilt has been es- abolished beyond a doubt offers an en- Gouragement to wilfuI disobedience and disregard for the law. There is no law which sets perfect observance, but that which carries the least pen atty is the one most frequently broken. There Is bound to be crime enough without inviting it.

Stories of the War
Work in seIaiur7.

 Writing of work in Belgium, Mrs. H. C. Hoover says:
 Belgium is a pretty big country when it comes to trying to feed every body in. it, and. of course, some regions Are in much more deplorabie condition than others. For instance. my husband, at one of the Brussels canteens, saw q woman with an H. year-old child, and a baby of or 5 in her arms, appear for a meal with a ticket from a small town some thirty
 miles distant. The dispensing official
 asked what she was doing there She
 said she came for food. He asked
 how she came to be there. She said
 she had walked in. He said:
 ''But this is not a Brussels ticket,
 why don't you apply at that town for
 the neal?"
 She shook the ticket at him, saying: Just look at that ticket and see why
 don't stay there for food for my
 children This was towards the end
 of November and there were already eight spaces on the ticket. T have no food left" she said. mo
 way of getting any except what I get
 from the kitchens. You look at these empty spaces and you see why I can't
 in Brussels one could get a. meal every day and I have brought my children here instead"
 It had happened that she had walk ed the full thirty miles without a per init to leave her own town and with out anyone stopping to molest her. i On the other hand there are still some regions in Belgium that have ample supplies of their own to last
 for another fortnight. Indeed there is one section in which eggs are cheaper than they are in England today, but of course, that happens to be because no troops have passed through, and there is no way of sending the eggs and chickens out, consequently that little valley had an oyersupply. But, on the other hand, if they had been able to send them away they could, of
 course, not have supplied the rural
 population within q radius or ten miles.
 The Kaiser in France.
 Tn German papers a, letter is pub lished from q German soldier at
 Douai containing the following pas- sage:--
 Yesterday, the day after Christmas, was memorable for us. The Kaiser was here and reviewed the corps in
 the parks and streets. He barred his head as the standards went by; one of them was nothing but a stick Af- rewards he walked through the mar TOW streets with his suite and Prince Eitel Fritz, only three steps from me How our hands flew to our helnets- There was a thunder Of cheers from soldier threats, and this in Trench town which the French hoped to re- occupy at Christmas. The Kaiser afterwards addressed the regiments. He said with emphasis that we are 1 opposed to a. brave enemy, put that war would not cease until the enemy were disposed Of and we could dictate l peace.
