Some Neutral Ammunition.
(Waterbury Republican,

Speaking of preparedness, here's the watchful German government get ting ready for the next war before the present one is over. It is stated that the new projectile factory in Bridgeport is to make it's 10000 shells a day for the Germans. An attempt will be made to export the product via. Sweden. If the British won't let the shells through they will be kept in stock to replenish the German re- serve supply when the war ends. Gus tav Heyman, a New York lawyer is paying the bills with money coming from German bankers in New York.
 If it is all true, the pro-German view of what constitutes neutrality will need to be considerably modified. What, also, becomes of the argument that the United States should compel peace by putting an embargo on mu- milton exports? Do shells become merely friendly offerings of universal good-w will in time of peace or if ship ped in time of war through neutral country? Or do, all shells become neutral when shiped to Germany and Austria to aid them in resisting French, Belgian and Serbian aggres- sion

Always With Us.
(Waterbury American.)

This tramp question is too interest ing to let alone. The proposed tramp lodging house is designed to do just what every one of us wants to have done, separate the worthy from the unworthy. It takes every one who comes along and gives individual at tention to his case. Every one wants work, actually or professedly. He needs to be cleaned up sometimes be- fore he is presentable. It provides for him bath,a a shave, and an opportunity to wash his clothes, dis infect his outer clothing, and get rid of the filth and vermin which he un- avoidably picks up in the kind of life he is living through choice or necessity In these days there is no difficulty in getting him work, if he wants it and is able to work. The unwilling, the lazy, those who live this life from choice, and ameliorate it only by the proceeds of begging and imposition, are little by little discov cred and discouraged from visiting Waterbury, not cruelty but expertly, kindly but firmly.
 At present these men are all herded in together, the good and the bad, then turned away They cost the city nothing, it is said. But many 1 of them pick up on the streets by | panhandling, at which they are ex- pert, som etimes many dollars apiece. They confess it. This costs some 1 body much money. The community | pays. Some are better beggars than
 others and some days the yield is l greater and metimes less. But they go out of the citys care unwashed, unlmproved, without any discrimina- l ton as to their deserts and without any opportunity to find work except such opportunity as they may make for themselves. They are not ad-
 Vlsed or helped, encouraged or pro- vided with an opportunity. That is l just what the scientific dealing with
 the tramp question supplies. It is not solution of the tramp question,
 which is universal problem, but it 1 alleviates it locally. The aggregate 1 of local alleviation through this | method means much for the comfort | of man and the improvement of con- 1 ditions.
 There is another, selfish side to l this question, not unworthy of cOnsid- | eratiOn, The tramp who calls at our
 door, obviously hungry, and asks for l a meal, or the man who meets us on
 the street, wet and thinly clothed, | asking for money enough for meal
 or a lodging, demands our personal
 service, for there is no place to which 1 to refer him. The Associated Charities l organization has now no equipment
 for supplying his needs and getting | out of him something in return, if | possible. But an organization, such
 as is desired, would supply just the | resource every friendly minded man
 needs, a place to which to send these l poor creatures with certainty that 1 they will be well cared for, and set | on their feet again if they are capable | of standing. To such an institution l most men are willing to contribute
 something for the relief it offers to l their hearts and consciences.

WEAK, AIL|NG CHILDREN
Made Well and Strong by Simple
 Remedy.

Here is another letter that has just come to our attention, showing the power of Vinol to build up health and strength for weak. puny ,ailing children.
 w. A. Smith of Shanesville. Ohio, says:-"My little child was puny, weak and ailing, could not rest at night and would not eat. I learned about VinoI and tried it, and within a week noticed an improvement. The child's appetite improved, it slept well, strength and health were soon built up. We think Vinol is excellent for weak, puny children"
 Vinol is a delicious cod liver and iron tonic without oil, containing beef peptOne, which creates an appetite, tones up the digestive organs, en- riches the blood and creates strength. children love to take it.
 We ask all parents of weak, sicklv. delicate children in this vicinity to try Vinol with the understanding that we will return your money if it fails to benefit your little ones. The Clark & Brainerd Co.,, Riker-Hegeman Druggists, New Britain, Conn.

X He knows them all by their walk,-the drum mers. the theatrical people, the mis- sionaries the vacationists the lec- turers, even the knights of the road,- he knows them all And they know him, not by his baptismal name for a new appellation. To some he is Prince Royal, to others simply "The Gray Horse'' He has been named after the famous horses of history, after Marengo, the white stallion which Napoleon rode at Waterloo, after the boys of the street, after the heroes of fiction. His most frequent label, however, is the Horse of Church Street, And that will ever be his honor
 Would that all men could emulate the example of our friend the horse of Church street. He has no bad habits. He does not smoke, or drink, he does not stay out late of nights. When nightfall darkens the town he is taken in and when the morning sun comes up over the horizon the first to greet him is the horse of Church street. He is a healthy horse, wise horse, although mayhap he is not possessed of worldly goods. He never gets angry, he never does anything he should not do. He never asks favors of anyone, he does not bor- row money. He does not even eat oats, this horse of Church street, so the high cost of living or loving does not enter into his existence. He is the silent, steady sign of an institution fast going the way of the blacksmith shop,-he is the emblem of the har- ness maker.

It is unpleasant to note in a news telegram from Norfolk the statement that one of the mere enlisted men of the interned German cruiser Eitel Friedrich has apparently violated his parole and disappeared. Heretofore it has only been the officers and gen. tlemen of the Imperial German navy on the interned vessel who have de- liberately broken their solemnly plighted words of honor and run away. A tendency to ape the aristoc- racy on the part of the lower classes is always reprehensible.-New York Sun.

A MATTER OF DEE AND DEATH.
ness-maker,

One of the greatest evils the rail- roads of the United States have to combat is that of trespassing. It is l a problem. Since the days when the railroad was a novelty, when men Journeyed miles over country roads to watch train pass a given point this condition of affairs has existed.- people will trespass on railroad prop erty. As the roads have expanded. as fast trains have been added to the schedules, the number of deaths and injuries because of the foolhardy habit of walking or lurking near rail- road tracks has been greatly augment ed every year.
 To get some idea of the havoc wrought by this evil the Association of Railway Claim Agents two years ago appointed committee of fifteen to investigate the trespassing habit Ihese men made a report for all the states in the union in aggregate and l separate reports for individual states. Their report shows an appalling loss or life due to the peril of trespassing. 1 During last year in the entire nation, l 4,746 lives were lost in this manner: S26 trespassers each lost one limb; 172 lost two limbs each, and 5,o41 suffered other injuries.
 l For the state of Connecticut the report shows that during the year l 1914 there were thirty accidents which l fell to the lot of trespassers. Of l this number sixteen were killed, three | suffered the loss of one limb each an6 l eleven suffered other injuries. IT. one case only was a woman concerned and, strange to say, but one of the l thirty was known as a tramp or hobo The vast majority of the Connection list shows that almost every trespasse1 in this state during that period was 1 person between the age of thirty ant
 fifty years, showing that they mus have had the use of reason,-and ye they were trespassers and knew th' inevitable outcome. Only four O this number were intoxicated.
 From the foregoing figures can b. seen the dreadful results of trespass
 ing. Because these figures have t.

 We are able to see the lesson brough
 home. Last week in our own cit.
 we were brought face to face with tn
 evils that befall those who venture il
 this perilous fashion. Trespassin
 on a railroad track is far more dan
 gerous than aviation, far nor
 hazardous than any occupation, pas
 time, or sport in America It i
 time people gave this evil little at
 tention, time parents warned thei
 young ones, employers their employees
 teachers their pupils, even time tn
 men in the pulpit sounded warnin
