in it's plan to capture American com merce? To what lengths will the United States permit it 10 go, before it peremptorily calls a halt?
 England has already destroyed the cotton manufacturers Of Norway and Sweden. The raw material these spinners have ordered from the United States now lies in British ports. Their factories must close down. Then British cotton manufacturers can go into Norway and Sweden and take ever the market Meantime, the American owner of raw cotton must sell to British manufacturers at their own price, or go bankrupt. sa
 If British dreadnuugf1t were to steam into New York harbor and bonn Eard the factories of that city, war would immediately ensue. But Brit ish cruisers are killing off Amsrlcan commerce just as effectually as If they were bombarding the ractor1es, and the United States government nesl- tates to call the raiders to account
 The duty that confronts the United States is plain. Regardless of the Ger man note, and regardless of the erect ef its action on the belligerents, the United States should immediately ols- patch a peremptory warning to Great Britain that the capture of another vessel carrying innocent goods from this country to a neutral port Will mean war.
 Great Britain will understand and heed such a warning. Evidently nothing short of threat of war will cause it to desist from it's determina- tion to kill off American commerce

A Point of Duty.
tNew London Telegraph. )


 Although it isn't hot yet, May is pretty much gone and that distin- guished way-mark in our American calendar, the Fourth of July, will, as the saying is, be here almost before we know 1t.
 It seems as though if there ever was year when that great national holiday ought to be celebrated with full heart and universal observance, this is one, and for reasons so patent to every mind that there is no occasion to enumerate them.
 A good many years have slipped along since a real old-fashioned Fourth has been celebrated in New London, with everybody turning out and taking part, and people not hav- ing their fun separately, but all get- ting together for one grand, great time. Precisely the bang and noise of old days would not be welcome again, but the whole of New London let sanely loose for unanimous and congregational carnival of cheerful patriotism for even just one Indepen- dence Day would be thing for long and happy remembrance. Why not get them all together, everybody, from the youngest infant of the last domi- ciled immigrant to the oldest inhabi- itant of the ancient line able to get | Ut; split all conventional social boundaries and unite ir. a day of fun and demonstration of enthusiastic loyalty to the spirit of American Free dom Wouldn't 1t be well worth while?
 It certainly would. Let's do it!

can be sent into the country without it coming into the hands of one fac- ton or another.
 The President will be. right in ask ing that supplies be allowed to go to all concerned He mas also been right in the policy so rar followed. Intervention in Mexico would mean q long and exhausting series of guer- fila battles. It would take years to sweep the dissenting bands from the mountains and swamps. The, loss of American life from sickness would be greater than the loss from bullets. Garrisons would have 10 be main tained for many years after all visible uprisings had been squelched. Far better it is to let their scrap pers scrap it out. But when ! the starvation of large numbers of peaceful people is the result of the fighting and when many Americans must pay the penalty of the revolu- tion then it is time to step in and insure that they get decent treatment Let us hope that when our demands arc made that will be met and that we will be able to sit in the bleachers and yell Viva Villa, Viva CaTranza Viva everybody, but keep. off the grass.

England Must Be Warned That 1t Is
 Provoking War.
Washington Post.)

; t.
 The Post outlined yesterday the suc- cessive steps taken by the British gov ernment to shut off commerce be- tween the United States and neutral nations in Europe, under the pretense of preventing contraband of war from reaching Germany Now another step las been taken which practically closes a part of the high seas to neu- tral commerce The British order for warded by Ambassador Page provides that neutral vessels shall not pass to Scandinavian ports by the north route Of Scotland without permission, and then only by keeping at least fifty miles north of the Shetland Islands. The exact language of this British order is as follows:
 Neutral vessels must appiy for per mission through their foreign repre- sentatives, and failing such, proceed south about"
 An American vessel laden with non- contraband goods for Norway, for example, must first ask permission Of the British government through the American embassy before it can proceed on the high sea north of Scotland to it's destination The British government reserves the right to refuse such permission, in which case the neutral vessel must proceed through the English Channel, where it Is sure to be seized by British cruisers.
 Evidently the shipments of goods from the United States 70 Scandina- via are not all stopped. American commerce is not entirely killed. Hence the new order from the British overlord of the seas, designed to shut off entirely all commerce between the United States and Norway, Sweden and Denmark. Bear in mind that this is not contraband commerce. Cotton, for instance, is specifically declared to be non-contraband, and the British government has formally notified the United States that ''cotton IS free" The new order reduces Great Britain's s position substantially to this state ment: You are permitted-on paper ito send cotton to Scandinavia, or any other non-contrab band goods; but We shall see to it that your goods do rot get through.
 The warning that sailing vessels must keep fifty miles north of the Shetland Islands is construed to be a notice that Great Britain is extending it's mine fields, in violation of finterna- tional law and to the great injury of commerce. But whether the fields are extended or not, the effect of the notice is the same upon insurance companies. They will not insure vessels except at ruinous rates, if they tf ink the vessels are subject to de- struction by mines. The result is an Effective strangulation of commerce.

WHAT OTHERS SAY
Views on all sides of timely questions as discussed in ex- changes that come to Herald Off1Ce.
The Ammunition Problem.
Bridgeport Standard.)

As the great war progresses 1t oe- comes more and more evident that the matter of ammunition will be a most important factor if not a determining one, in the result. In this respect the Allies having the wnoie outside world to draw upon so long as tneT cash or credit holds good, have de- cided advantage. The new conditions developed by this war have necess1- tated the use of great deal more ex- pensive ammunition than in any pre- vious war, and a tremendous drain upon the resources of all parties con- cerned is inevitable. Which Will be able to meet this demand the longest is merely a question Of which will be able to continue the contest after the others are exhausted.
 When we are told. upon competent authority that the use of fixed am- 1nunition in a four days fight along the comparatively short British battle front, exceeded in quantity and value :tll that was used in the entire Boer war, we can judge somewhat of the enorm ous consumption of ammunition on all the battle lines, east and west, together That the Allies should be calling upon us for supplier of this sort is not strange, nor is it to be won dered at that the Germans, realizing the situation, should wish ro deprive their enemies of their outside sources Of supply.
 E While beyond question the German war managers had figured closely upon all the known chances of the conflict into which they went fully prepared, it is not impossible that the excessive use of shot and shell called for by the great guns employed. the largest ever used, and by the largest number of soldiers ever engaged in protracted firing from trenches and ether defenses, has exceeded their estimate and that they are put to 1t to keep up their side or the affray. They have factorieis running night and day. but it is serious question how long they can continue to answer the increasing demand, especially when Italy brings her one or two million soldiers into the field and necessitates still larger effort on the Austro- German part.
 We are told that some of the goods sent to the Allies from this country have been rejected, and not "up to sample" This may be the cases but the Germans have given the prefer ence to the ammunition or American make. as more dependable and de- structive than any other. That would bo another reason why they should resent our selling ammunition to the Allies. When in 1S77-S the Turks and Russians were both buying ann munition and some other supplies in Connecticut. some concern in this state sent to Turkey lot of payonets made Of sheet-iron, which would not pierce q folded newspaper, but bent up double when subjected to strain. These did not come from Bridgeport, which only furnished cartridges and they were of the very best sort with never a complaint from either side. We do not believe that any of the supplies furnished from this city in the present war will fail to pass any reasonable test. The value of Made is Bridgeport will be upne1d.

crcss that stood there for centuries The atrocities of that day in Constan- tinople form one of the must revolting pages in all history. HeIpiess virgins of the church, women and children were chained into slavery and dragged through the streets by their bar barous conquerors.
 That Constantinople has remained ;n possession of the Turks so many years is due to European diplomacy. The jealousies of nations has played the principal part in preserving the Moslem rule over the important city. The Russian advanced to it's outer forts in 1878, but England refused to permit Slav aggression against the Sultan. The alliance between the Turks and the Germans served 70 break the hands-off edict of the past, and last winter the plans were laid for the taking of Constantinople as the means of breaking Germany and Austria from their effect in checking the difficult operations. bu- the re- sources of the world are behind the great attack that is rapidly nearing it's goal.
 The scholars of the modern world are watching the progress toward the famous city with the greatest of in- terest. The buried treasuries of cen tlr1es are believed to be again avail a.pie when the city falls. For when the scholars of the early days fled into eastern Europe and set up our modern civilization, they left behind them storehouses still untouched. The be- i!ef that the Turks have not destroyed the ancient libraries lends hope tc the opening up of vast treasures of knowledge.

Changes in the Bulgarian diplomatic service lead to the beIIer that that country is preparing to join the allies. We may be misjudging the state but suggest that the officials are satisfied that the allies are making great pro- gress, particularly in the Dardanelles, and wish to be on the righr side of the renee when the war is over. It will go pretty hard with the little fellow if he does not pick the winner over there.
