impossible to Comply.
Count Reventlow a y the American
governments request for assurance
that its ships and citizens will be sub
jected only to a search, even in the
wal zone is utterly out of the question.
The Vossische zeitung says that
while the searching of ships for con
traband previously has been the ac-
knowledged procedure, the entry of the
submarine denotes a new factor in
naval warfare.
The submarine" says the newspa-
per, runs a risk against armed mer-
chantmen. England has both armed it's
merchantmen and advised them to
carry false flags. The result is this
the submarine which undertakes the
run the risk Of being damaged, or
even destroyed by an English sailing
ship flying under a false flag.
Shall Germany, in the face of such
tremendous measures, throw down her
arms because an American ship might
possibly be wrongly t%orpedoed? The
American note demands nothing else"
The Lokal Anzeiger, points out that
only the United States among all the
neutral countries has protested against

zone.
Say Germans Won't Yield.
The Kreuse zeitung declares that
Germany's course will not be in
fluenced by the American note.
The Hamburger Nachrichten, dis
cussing the note says that nobody can
demand that German war ships expose
themselves to obstruction by observing
the terms Of the American note.
american merchantmen" the paper
continues. retain their right to sail in
the specified waters or to avoid them.
If Washington assumes that the I'D
miralty's declaration will not be ex-
ecuted unsparingly it fundamentally
decelves itself. The threatening SEN
fences in the American note are quite
unilnpressive. After delivering weapons
to our enemies and making no protest
against Great Britain's insolence, the
United States shows itself devoid Of
any good will whatever towards u.s.
The American government gives too
little weight" says the Frankfurter
Zeitung. ito the difficult conflict in
which Germany finds itself, whereas no
vital interest of the United States is
threatened. The way out of the diff
ficulty is opened by the announced
American protest against British mis-
use of flags. AS for the rest, Germany
must maintain its stand"

LONDON REGARDS U. S. NOTE
TO GERMANY AS ULTIMATUM

London. Feb. 15.-The threatened
submarine blockade Of the ports Of the
British Isles Is still an absorbing topic
for English newspapers and the English
people n Judging from dispatches
reaching here from the continent, Ger
many is equally interested. The re-
port that James w. Gerard, the Amari-
a ambassador has been requested to
meet emperor William at once on the
eastern battle front is taken in Lon
don to mean that Berlin probably will
make a prompt reply to the American
note to Germany. German on
the situation, which has arisen since
declared a war zone around
the Brlt1sh Isles. insists that Washing
ton should prevent the use of the Amer
lcan flag by Great Britain and demand
a strict of the declaration
vi LONDON as the best guarantees for
the safety OF American shipping. AT
the same time the Germans argue thst
submarines n be expected to
make a search of hostile merchantmen
before destroying them.
The English press insists upon re-
Sard1ng the note to Germany IS a
virtual ultimatum. 1t does not attempt
to forecast Great Britain's reply to
the Washington government regarding
the use of the American flag, but it
does declare that Great Britain cannot
forego her claim to the right to use a
neutral flag in case Of necessity.
An indication that England is re-
garding the German threat as some
thing more than a bluff. is found in the
fact that liners are today coming into
British ports with their life boats
slung up and watered and provisioncd.
NOT AFRAID OF UNCLE
SAM. SAYS NEWSPAPER
Amsterdam. (via London), Feb. l5.-
The Montag Zeitung, of Berlin. accord
ing to a dispatch reaching here from
the German capital in an article re-
ferrlng to the stand of the United
States asks what harm can she do to
Germany. "She has no army" this pa
per says, and her fleet would not dare
to approach nearer our shores than
does the English. The expulsion OF
from America would mean
her ruin. Americas threats are SIM
ply ridiculous and it is more than
ridiculous for US to take them In
earnest"
This paper says it is the intention Of
Emperor William to be at Cuxhaven on
the North sea On the 18th of February.

The Memory Quilt.
( Indianapolis News)

Grandmother is making a new quilt. She has made many of them in her day. Not child or a grand child but exhibits proud array of them on the clothesline at house cleaning time, showing them to the neighbors and repeating the stories grandmother has told them of the pink and blue, yellow and red pieces of calico, which have clothed the various members of the family through three generations. But the quilt she is making now is different, and if she is very careful it will be tue most beautiful aud the gayest of them all. Perhaps it will last longer than any of the others She makes it as she sits before the fire, her hands busy as always with her tatting or her knitting needles, and her mind buster than her hands in the construction of ner memory quilt. There is no trouble Tn finding the pieces for the QlNt. There are so many of them that she could almost make a whole quilt in day. The difficulty is in choosing the pieces. She is very particular. Some days she must take out all that she has put in, and bravcly throw the pieces into the flames, so that they may hasten away up the chimney and not bother her again. They are, you see, dark and ugly memories which would like to have d place in the quilt and they slip in sometimes when she is nodding over her knitting. AL most always, however, she has only to sort the bright pieces and put thcn together. and once she has start cd with a particularly pretty little piece of a memory she has no difficulty at you will see her smiling and flushing with delight at tl.c beauty of her qu,lt and perhaps she will stop and tell you stories about it. There are days in the little old SchoolhOuse in the memory quilt. There are days in the zen. too. There are sleigh rides and dances and sWeethe carts, weddings and Christmas days. There are friends and children, riches and poverty, there are perhaps one or two sorrows that have become a sweet rather than a bitter memory. There is a bit of ev- everything is good and glad, and the quilt is going to be big enough to cover all the future as we'll as all tho past. It will be a beautiful quilt and grandmother is happy in the making of it, for memories are like friends and we can choose the ones we love best ..

Blatant Disregard of Law. (lIeriden RecOrd)

About 12 o'clock one night this week a New Britain man went speed ing along the public highway at the rate of fifty miles an hour. The fact that the gates at railway crossing were down did not deter him. He crashed through one side, spun across the tracks and smashed through the other gate and on up the street until held up by policeman.
 That the speeder had his family in the machine and submitted them to such risks merely increases the signi- ficance of the incident. The driver could not explain the speed at which he was travelling through the center of the city He maintained that his windshield was steamed and he could not see the railroad gates.
 It is just such escapades as this that make one long for laws which would actually prevent the repetition of such daredeviltry. It ought not to be possible to impose a fine for such crime. If a prison sentence or tho rock pile were the punishment for such a blatant disregard of law tn here would not be a repetition of it.
 That an awful tragedy did not re- suit from this joy ride or wanton at tempt to evade the law, is good luck rather than good management.
New Britain herald., 1915-01-01

under the proposed management. The placing of the duties of the dairy and food commissioner on the same de- .partment is among the reforms pro- posed. @
 k Perhaps the health department can care for all this work, but if the other departm are busy under the pres ent arrangement it would seem as if the proposed scheme would overbur- den the health branch of the state and before the year is up there might be cry that it could not attend to all that was being demanded of It. There Is also revival of the old argument of com bining the labor commissioner and factory inspector. It is believed that this can be done with a great saving to the state and If the same degree of efficiency can be maintained it should be done. Whatever means there are available for the practice of economy should be adopted. Connecticut needs such a system and now Is good time to put it into active operation.
