The project of reforesting the water sheds which originated with W. B. Rossberg, now chairman of the board several years ago is a praise worthy one. The sheds need the careful and systematic planting of trees for the preservation of water. The benefits to be gained by the plant ing of forest in the making are enormous. Trees may be obtained from the government at a very slight cost. > .M.r #

that surface ships, and especiail! those of the larger type, will be sunk bv submarines increases rapidly as they approach the enemy coast.
 In the application of these lessons 10 the theoretical invasion or tnis country, it may be urged tha. France, for instance, had great army to op- pose to the German army. This IS true, But the invading power Of the Germrny army was enormously multiplied by it's proximity to the French borders, and the question or size is a relative question.
 The problem confronting the United States would be to oppose the land- ing not of q force equal to the Ger man forces that marched quickstep into Belgium. but force able to give check to the theoretical force of 100000 with which surprise invasion would be a.,....p~ed. For such a purpose it is probable that 60, 900 men would do amply.
 It is a mistake to suppose that large foreign fleet, conveying 200, ,00o troops. with great guns munitions Of war and equipment could embark secretly and approach without being discovered on some portion of the American coast.
 The departure of such fleet would be imm ediately noted. Its every movement would be watched and reported by wireless. During the last thousand miles of it's voy- age it would be under constant ob- servation by flying machines, and at distances ranging from 500 miles to 1000 miles. from it's destination It's battleships. and especially it's trans ports would be under observation and threatened by submarines. " Only Great Britain has fleet great enough to bring in such convoy against the fleet of the United States, which, if engaged purely in defen- siye operations, and operating near it's own base. would be relatively stronger.
 Tn the meantime the country would he in arms threatened places would he mined. and mobile forces would he held in readiness for transport |" any point where wireless should an- nounce an attempt to land.
 k This landing would not be the sim ,,,a oneratiou some writers are in- c,ined to suppose. but would be slow and difficult and subject to repulsion bv a force inferior in numbers and guns.
 And if a landing should finally be accomplished the invaders would nnc themselves surrounded by trenches. cut off from the country, separated from their ships, and an 'asy prev to the nation they had with such ig-i norance of the realities, expected to conquer.

New Glory of Paterson.
( New York Press.)

NC" | lOIh < Ies5'J
 Paterson, which has long enjoyed outside of New Jersey distinction arising from the extreme economic views of some of its citizens. and which has lately been seething with questions relating to another and a better world, has come to the front with new claim to glory. The mas culine citizens of that community are to eschew the staple wool fabric and bedeck their manly persons with gossamer suits of silk. Paterson is to be the sartorial emancipator of the fashion-fetter male.
 Just as women have been growing increasingly clamorous regarding votes, men have been growing in- creasingly bold regarding clothes. In the torrid days of recent summers they have displayed more nerve in appearing in comfortable vestmcnts of pongee and other reasonable ma terials. This year straw hats ap- peared much earlier. than has hith- erto been regarded proper. In the warm days of April some pioneers, casting convention--and sometimes the hats to the winds donned this style of headwear, and their conform ance to the thermometer and not the calendar occasioned no violence.
 Men, it has been frequently held, are the vain--or let us say the valner--sex. But they are more trammeled by the bonds of tradition than women, who have been op- pressed through centuries of nus- culine domination. In the days when the historical novel was at the zenith of its popularity many man has gagged fondly at the rich and rayish- ing costumes affected (according to the illustrations) by the characters ,ih such works and has fancied. with sigh almost of yearning. himself garbed therein.
 Yet, though mayhap possessing the vanity of the peacock, men have lacked the audacity of that fowl and shrunk from opposing the canons of fashion.
 Now the men of Paterson have sounded the trumpet of iconoclasm. Perhaps this clarion call will go sounding down the corridors Of time long after the l. w. w. has passed into oblivion and the' reverberations of Mir. Sunday are heard no more.

Invasion Of the II. s.
 (BridgepOrt Farmer

The war brings it's quantity of more
 or less plausible fiction dealing with
 the successful invasion of America, by q foreign power. The usual method is to picture the sudden unheralded
 arrival of d foreign fleet off some por- ton of the coast of the United States, preferably the Atlantic coast, and then | to describe the utter helpleGsness of the American people, as the invaders land an army of 100000 men--this seems to be the favorite number, and place the conquered territ ory under
 military law and levy upon the prop erty of the inhabitants i'll approved
 military style.
 But the lesson of the present war seems to be that such an invasion is more difficult than it was previously
 supposed to be.
 It is long way across the ocean
 to the United States. It is but a lit
 tie distance between France and Ger l many. - The Russian frontiers border
 on Germany and Austria. The Aus trian frontier borders on Italy. Great Britain is but a little distance away, separated by streak of water, twenty
 miles wide or so, in it's narrow places. Yet England has not been invaded, and Germany has not been invaded
 more than trifling distance into it's territory. Germany has entered
 France, but not far, and has entered
 Russia, but only little way.
 And the location of Germany on for eign soil is to be attributed principally to her quick start. Germany had the jump as the saying is. The principal lesson of the war
 seems to be that the problem of go- ing forward has been enormously in creased by rapid fire weapons, and
 modern trench fighting. The ten- dency is for opposing armies to ex- tend their movements alorg an ex- tended front, but in d narrow terri
 tory.
 | A small number of men, given the 1 duty of holding, a line of trenches and nothing more, can successfully
 beat back an enormously larger number of attackers, who lrust come
 more or less into the open, unless l sapping and mining Is resorted to-,
 which Is a long and tedious method.
 It appears that the greet British
 fleet Is exceedingly careful about it's approach to the German oast, not from fear of the exit of the German , feet which would be welcomed. but from the danger likely to be occa- stoned by submarines. On the sea too the difficulties of invasion have been greatly increased, for the risk

TRIBUTES TO LATE ED ITOR
 FROM MANY PARTS OF STATE
Bristol Press.

0EiSOi EES1SSs tt .fe John o'Neill, editor of the New
 Britain Herald, has laid aside his pen,
 written his last copy and ceased his
 labors. His strong individuality,
 wholesome character and honest en-

 unknown land of silence; he has en-
 tered upon that last great mysterious
 adventure which marks the earthiy
 close of every career, however useful'
 worthy and exalted.
 This consolation, however. remains
 to us: what John ONeill wrote was
 dictated by conscience, fidelity to truth, idealism and genuine cons,uera- tion for others. He was never bitter never unkind or vindictive. lie iousn' we'll and was fully competent to man. tain whatever position he took' uu' he fought fairly and left no sting.

BristoI's Peril.
(waterbury American.)


 Bristol Is the latest community to take exception to the naked truth. The moving picture, "Hypocrites" has recently visited the home of bicycle bells and some of the bell-makers de- cided that it was not the sort of pic- ture that ought to be shown. The trouble seems to be that, in the pic lures, Truth is really naked. Expos- ing the hypocrisy of mankind, she fits across the screen undraped, to be sure, but so obscured by photo graphic trickery as to be almost in- visible. aa.
 However, she has visited Bristol and departed, so the harm is done To prevent further assaults upon tho community's virtue is now the main aim. Consequently the approaching visit of Three Weeks" is under seri- ous consideration and therein lies funny joke, as any one who has seen the moving picture version of Mrs. Glyn's noted masterpiece will realize.
 .Three Weeks" is, fundamentally the story of great love; an un- sanctified love: to be sure, but still great and wonderful. The trouble with the novel is that Mrs. Glyn. as usual. merely indicated the real story
