A STA Is knocking at our door,
~ Japan desires her people to
n enter America or the same
plane OF equality as the white
races Of Europe. She is firing the pa
triotisin Of her people and preparing
to go to war and compel at the point
Of the bayonet the recognition Of this
equality. Her intense pride Is wounded
because OF the discrimination against
her subjects. Her national honor Is
involved.
Unless the door Is opened the pres
ervation OF her honor demands that 1t
be battered down by force. So Japan
is feverlshly arming. laboring night

larging, strengthening and polishing
her already ponderous military ma

conflict. And America sleeps.
Japan wishes equal recognition In

 Various reasons may be assigned for the action of the people of Salem, but after all is said and done it all comes right back to the recognized fact that it is not so much the form of government which has to do with the manner in which the affairs of a city are conducted as it is the men who are placed in charge of them. ,L Let men who have the welfare of the city at heart be selected for office and given the support Of those who place them in office and they are bound to produce results that will satisfy. but new fan- gled notions are not enough to clear up the situation if personal and par tisan interests are placed before those of the community.

TURKEY RAISING.

New London and Windham counties may be producing their share of the turkeys which are raised in the state of Connecticut, but there appears to be no good reason why there should not be a constantly increasing. output of this farm produce. There is always brisk demand for natives and cer- tainly the farmers of this section are as clever as the rest of the tiHers of the soil in propagating the national bird.
 For thirteen years The Bulletin has been engaged in stimulating interest in the raising of turkeys and the wide- spread response from the raisers in the towns included within the contests limits shows how general is the ac- tiyity in that line of endeavor, and it would not be surprising if there were turkey raisers who have equalled, if not exceeded the results which have been obtained by the prize winners:
 There is no better opportunity for theafaising of turkeys in the whole of southern New England than there is In these two counties and because of the large amount of attention which has been given to such work no better or bigger birds have been produced for the private or public market. For years it was this section which had had the honor of furnishing the turkey that graced the White House table on Thanksgiving day. Turkeys may be harder to raise than chickens, but with a little study of the requirements the difficulties can be overcome the same as many other farm problems. There is certainly nothing better than an eastern Connecticut bird and the sup ply by no means equals the demand Why cannot the business in this sec tion equal in proportion that of Yer mont or other sections?

Stories of the War
Individual Bravery.

More than a hundred instances of individual bravery in the fighting at Loos and Hulluch six weeks ago, are pended to the latest list of awards of the military cross and Distinguished Service Order. The ten most strik- ing stories are as follows:
 Captain Dennis, Scottish Borderers, was wounded in the trenches, but aft CT his wound was bandaged he es- caped from the ambulance and went back to his men, advancing with his company until again wounded. He was carried back to a dressing sta tion, from which he disappeared after his wound was dressed. Later he was seen catching up with his company and again cheering them on until he was wounded a third time.
 Major Gordon, London Artillery got close up to the German lines to re- connoitre, and although under heavy fire. brought back twelve German captives after having shot one man with his revolver.
 Lieut.. Carr. London Infantry, mo- ticed while directing the removal of greuades from the divisional dump" that the fuse of a bomb had become ignited. He at once picked it up and carried it out of the dugout It exploded just as it left his hand, seriously wounding him. His cool ness saved an explosion of many thousand grenades and bombs. which would have killed scores of men and destroyed the entire divisional bomb reserves during the heavy operations.
 Capt. Bird, London Field Ambu- lance on one occasion worked for 23 hours without cessation in tending and dressing the wounded. He was twice observed carrying wounded on stretcher under rife fire, and for 55 hours was continually exposing himself to heavy shell fire.
 Lieut.. Williams of the 'Buffs'' took charge of a small party of bomb CTS and attacked the enemy, throwing 2,o00 bombs in seventeen hours. It was raining all the time, and the damp fuses had to be lit from cigar cites. Williams was wounded early in the fighting but refused to leave his post.
 Lieut. Hollwey. Royal Artillery. laid a telephone wire through the Hohenzollern Redoubt under heavy fire. One leg was disabled before he had gone ten yards, but he dragged himself on, the same leg being again fractured by a bullet before he had finished his task. When two tele-

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR
Greece's Position.

MT. Editor: In this mornings Bulle- tin I read a short editorial about the central powers trying to persuade Roumania to join them. Most all the newspapers are taking this stand in the matter, but the central powers bfirst hope is that Roumania remain neutral. If, however, Roumania de- cides to join the war on either side, they do not want her to join the entente.
 arates Russia from Bulgaria, and if she joined the Teutonic allies she un- doubtedly would fail in trying to stop a flood of MuscoYites from sweeping down on the Bulgars. If she remains neutral, as the central powers hope she will, she maintains an armed neu- tral barrier in the Balkans and pre- vents the czar from crushing Bulgaria while the Bulgars are invading Serbia
 The outcome of the Balkan struggle hinges as much on Roumania as it does on Greece. Greece is perhaps in the hardest position of all. With the entente powers threatening war and blockade on the south. and the Teu- tonic hordes menacing her from the north it is small wonder that Greece is described as "between the devil and the deep sea-"
 join them against the Germans. When the AHstro- Germanic armies reach the Greek frontier, which they soon will if they maintain their present speed. how long will the forces of Greece stand against them?
 King Constantine knows that his first duty is toward his people, and that it would be almost inviting self destruction to join the entente. He said recently: Tt is impossible to ever conquer Germany" M. Rhallis, the Greek minister of justice, said, 'How can the allies expect us to fight for Serbia, when not one drop of Eng fish blood has been spilled there and scarcely an English rife has been fired? We do not care to be another Belgium" The Athens correspondent of leading London paper said: '-The majority of the Greek people get up in the morning with the prayer on their lips that there will be no war to- day." Do these things look as though the Hellenic government was anxious for her place in the struggle?
 Greece has let the allies land and march over her soil; she has offered them a refuge in case of a defeat and retreat, and even offers to protect them against the Teutonic onslaughts. But still the entente are urging that she for them? Her neutrality has gone too far already, and the American who said There are two kinds of neutral ity-nentrality and Greek neutrality. was right.
 If Greece had had her back against Austria instead of Serbia, as Belgium had with France, she would have pro- tested against the landing of the en- tente allies with something more wig orous than diplomatic correspondence, and would have defended herself against this violation of her rights to the last drop of Greek blood.

HELPING THE CAR SHORTAGE.

In the midst of the increased indus trial activity which is being experi- enced throughout the country, a se- rious handicap is being felt through the lack of adequate rail- road facilities for transporting the goods. The freight car shortage is much the same as in years gone by when there were insufficient cars to take care of the crops and look after the other business. The demand in this case, however, is different, and the laclSof cars more excuSabIe since there was TO reason for anticipating any such development. Business Is abnor- nal because of the war and while tn; railroads are not able to meet it they are in much the same situation as the . concerns which have spent and are spending thousands of dollars in order to get ready to handle the orders which have been received from foreign coun- tries.
 Every effort must be made to meet the situation and it is a condition to which relief can be given by others than the railroad companies, for while they are doing their utmost to get new equipment and meet the demands they are at the same time seriously handi- capped by the congestion in the ter minals where lack of storage room makes the holding of the filled cars necessary until the goods can be moved There being no demurrage charge on goods destined for abroad it points out the necessity of hasten ing the loading and unloading of cars throughout the country. The unneces- sary detention of cars contributes as much to the shortage as does the act ual lack of rolling stock and in over coming that there is part which ev- cry despatcher and receiver of freight throughout the country can play with appreciable results.
