PREVENTION IMPORTANT.

That too much importance cannot be attached to the movement for the changing of the quarantine station at the port of New York from state to federal control is emphasized by the arrival there of a Greek steamer on which one member. of the crew was suffering from the dread typhus fever. This is the first instance of this dis ease reaching these shores from the vicinity of stricken Servia and steps were immediately taken to see that the patient were properly guarded to pre- vent any spread thereof, but it only emphasizes the constant vigilance which must be exercised concerning all contagious diseases and plaques.
 There is nothing whatever to com plain of concerning the action of the New York authorities in this particu- lar case. They probably did as much as any federal officer could or would have done under such circumstances, but the best service is wanted at all times at that point and when those uho are directly in touch with the

CASE OF THE euLFLIeHT.

Following the sinking of the Will liam P. Frye, upon the circumstances being called to the attention of the German government it was admitted that wrong had been committed which that country was responsible for and which loss would be paid for. In that instance the lives of the crew were spared, they being warned of the de- termination to destroy the American vessel and it's cargo and were given time to get away in safety.
 In the past week an American tank CT, with it's name in large letters and flying the stars and stripes, was the object of an unwarned and unwarrant- ed attack by a German aerop1ane. Fol- lowing close upon it comes the tor pedoing of an American vessel, the Gulhight, on which the captain and two members of the crew lost their lives, the first American lives which have been taken in a direct attack upon American shipping
 Naturally 1t has created no little excitement in Washington, since it is to all appearances a direct and fragrant disregard of the protest which has been made by this country against the ab- surd naval policy which Germany has declared. Under international law had Germany caught an American vessel carrying contraband to it's enemy it had the right to seize it, but there is nothing which warrants the destruc- ton of the vessel without regard for the officers and crew. That this gov ernment will obtain a full account of the affair, is to be expected. It is the only course upon which to base whatever action is taken in holding Germany to "a strict accountability. .''

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR
Affairs and Our New Park,

MT. Editor: Just a little about af- fairs and our new park, the Scowhe- gan. I don't think it is right to keep the children off the grass, if we are going to make it pleasaEf for the little ones it seems to me they should not be restricted in its use, and I would suggest that the park commis- sioners, public works, finance com- mittee, street department or city barn, whoever has the new park in charge should take the money we have saved on the salary of Councilman Fowler since he resigned as assistant street department clerk and devote the same to purchasing settees for the use of the children to rest after their efforts in keeping off the grass.
 I am very glad the spring cleaning was completed before our distinguish ed visitor from Norwich. England, was taken through in the mayors automo- bile. There is one nice thing, it shows next to the separation of the town, one of the principal improve ments promulgated by democratic ad- ministration the past year. and I pre- sume if we only keep them in power it might be possible to do something with Thames street, a beaut/ul con- dition the New London papers tell us so much about now that all the improvements in the park line have been completed.
 At the beginning of the present democratic administration a year ago there was quite a lot said about peo- pie putting their sidewalks in good shape. not only for the comfort of pedestrians but for the pride all of us should show in making our city more beautiful. As an example of the thrift and energy expended on the part of our advisers, the people and taxpayers are invited to take walk over the municipal sidewalk on Laurel Hill avenue, after a shower, without rub Der boots and see for themselves a beautiful example of municipal con- sistency. But never mind, when we get our cooperative building and loan association going and every one owns his own house and if we can have two more years of prosperity and low cost of living under democratic rule and free trade everybody will be happy and won't care whether the jitneys run to SchoweSan or Mohegan parks as every one will own a jitney of his own.

 who would like to have municipal settees on Rose alley and City dock as it is hard work to stand up all day looking for democratic prosperity to come along and give him a job.

TREELEss CITIES.

Over in the city of Waterbury, for | the purpose of getting in closer touch l with conditions about the city, Mayor Scully has been making a tour of the 1 various sections in company with the board of public works. It was a prof itable inspection for the revelations which 1t brought to the city fathers both as to work which has been done and that which needs to be under taken.
 One thing in particular was dis closed and that was the lack of trees in certain sections. which made such an impression upon him that he was not backward in declaring that if this matter was not given more attention Waterbury, which like every city be a shadeless and sunstruck city. It certainly is not a pleasant thing to look forward to.
 There are many cities which are showing a lack of attention in this same direction. Trees are removed for any one of many reasons and not any are set out in their place. In some sec tions nothing whatever is done to se- cure shade and better appearing streets and grounds simply through the lack of initiative and a proper amount of civic pride. No city which has ever enjoyed the benefits of trees should ever permit the policy of neg ligence to gain the upper hand. The idea of replacing every tree removed with another, or of setting out a cer- tain number of trees each year in the sections where they are most needed and giving them sufficient attention to get them started, has been found of immense value in many cities where it is being carried out and it would be an admirable plan for every com munity to adopt. No city can afford to overlook it's trees.

NOT LIKELY TO CHANGE.

Attention for the time being is di- rected to the suit which has been brought in the state of Wisconsin by General Pearson of the Boer war for the purpose of stopping the manufac- ture of munitions of war for foreign sale. In this particular instance, as in others which have been made since the war was opened, the action is ain- ed at American business because as conditions exist the allies are the only ones which can secure the delivery of the goods regardless of the fact that this country stands ready, and always has, to sell to any and all of the par ticipants in the war. Did not the al lies possess an advantage, which by the way they brought about by their own activity and with no help from this country, nothing would have been said about the position which this country has taken and which it is going to maintain. It is absurd to be- lieve that this country is going to depart from it's position of neutrality because one side in the war is taking advantage of outside markets
 General Pearson claims that his in terests in Germany are being injured and the war prolonged by the existing conditions. It is the same question that was determined by the admins tration before congress, which has the power to make the change, adjourned and there is not the least reason to believe that it is going to be changed at this late date. The right to man ufacture munitions for belligerents is only what every country possesses and what Germany and other nations have used during wars in which they were not involved and it will be with great surprise if it is checked.

ton. The Italians constitute the larg- est part of the populace. and together with the Slavonians, comprise about 90 per cent. Geographically, Plume belongs to Croatia. In 1870, however. it finally became a part of the Hun garian kingdom. The Italians, who favor the Hungarians as opposed to the Slavonians, are practically in con- trol of the city's administration.
 "Fiume occupies seven square miles of land carved out of Crotia. Around its waterfront, there Is a narrow, level plain upon which the new town is built, with its convenient, modern ground-plan, fine business structures and generally substantial archltec- ture. The old town climbs the hills back from the shore, struggling in a quaint disorder of irregular, narrow streets and haphazard houses. Views of the city and its surroundings from the deck of an approaching steamer are delightful, and there are a num- Der of pleasant tours to be made in the neighborhood. Plume has been Austrian since 1471."

Stories of the War
Sinking of the Gambetta.

From information gathered from various survivors of the Leon Gam betta it is possible to construct the story of the disaster as follows:
 "The Leon Gambetta parted com pany with the French cruiser Jules Ferry last night to cross the Strait of Otranto with a view to co-operat- ing with other French ships in an at tempt to block the Austrian fleet to leave the Adriatic. This was not an unusual manoeuvre, as the Leon Gam betta for months had been going up and down the coast from Cape Santa Maria Leuca to Brindisi, Bari or across to Corfu and Vallona.
 'The sea was perfectly calm and the moon shone brightly. Although the adopted the other customary precau- tions, there was no suspicion of dan ger. At midnight the warship was about 20 miles from Cape Santa Maria tinctly the lights on the Italian coast. At sea nothing appeared on the hori- zon.
 Suddenly there was a fearful ex- plosion. which shook the cruiser fore and aft. Officers and men remained thought was not for their own safety. but rather to detect and attack their assailant They scanned the sea for a periscope, but in vain.
 "As the cruiser was listing rapidly the commander gave orders that sig nals for help be sent and that the boats be lowered. It proved to be most difficult to lower the boats, owing to the position of the ship in the wa ter. Some of the men leaped over board in the bare hope of saving them selves. Others were washed off the decks. The commander, although urged to abandon his ship. refused to do so."
 Two Italian torpedo boat destroyers which went to the aid of the Gambetta have arrived here bringing 26 addf- tional survivors of the disaster, who were found unconscious on a raft made from boards picked up from the wreckage. They had been In the wa ter for 20 hours. One of the survivors was clasping in his arms an almost dying comrade. When the sailor was regaining consciousness he inisted that the man he had rescued be taken care of before he himself was given treatment.
 4 French non-commissioned officer saved by one of the destroyers kissed the Italian flag and expressed his gratitude to the Italians for the help they had given his fellow. seamen.

 Prevention is highly important. This country is not suffering from typhus fever and 1t does not want to, or any of the other plaques. If that is best assured through federal control by aii means let us have 1t. It has been dsm. onstrated that typhus fever patients can be expected and the strongest op- position that can be manifested for the sake of health conditions is none too good,
