HoNEYcoMREp HIGHWAYS.

The subway disaster in New York
city whereby a number of lives were
lost and many injured was by no
means the first Of the kind which has
occurred. Such construction work
calls for the devotion of great
amount OF attention to protecting the
public and insuring safety and con-
sidering the amount of it that is done
without stopping the traffic Of busy
thoroughfare it is perhaps more
strange that a larger number of lives
are not sacrificed.
The disaster calls for thorough in
vestigation and the fixing of the re-
sponsibility for apparently someone
was to blame, either in the blasting
or the method of constructing the
supports which sustained the high
way. 1t is no place where careless
methods can be tolerated. The respon-
sibility for preventing just such a COL
lapse as occurred must rest somewhere
and the situation demands that it be
placed where it belongs.
II such conditions are to be allowed
there is no telling when other sec
lions OF the streets will drop thirty or
more feet and at times when they
would carry down with them greater
numbers. 1t is highly important that
contractors should make certain that
such temporary structures as they
erect are adequate to meet the condi-
lions above as well as underneath and
where blasting is one of the necessary
Accomplishments of such work there
must be proper reinforcements to off
set it. And while New York is inves-
tigating this disaster it might be well
to make sure that there are not other
honeycombed sections of subway con-
struction which are in similar condi-
ton.

LEGISLATORS TRANSFORMATION

1t was many years ago that the con-
stitutional limitation for the trans
portation Of the members of the gen.
eral assembly was adopted. 1t pro-
vides that the representatives and ser-
ators shall receive % cents a mile, one
way, which is expected to cover their
entire costs during the whole session.
That this is inadequate even during
the sessions wherein a time limit is
fixed must be perfectly apparent and
because Of II there have been many
sessions during which it has been for.
gotten or ignored. The existence of
the provision was brought to light
when Governor Baldwin was in Office
and he insisted that it must be OBJ
served and observed it was, but in JUS
tice to those who are selected to trans
act the states business it must have
been recognized after proper thought
that it is a hardship not to meet the
transportation expenses of the assem-
bly, members.
This does not mean that the MEM
bers should, be allowed to draw a
good sized sum from the state for ex-
penses which they have not contracted
but that the actual cost of transporta-
ton in attending the sessions should
be paid by the state. With this idea
in view the question will be submit
ted to the people of the state at the
town election next month. The vote
will be on an amendment to the con-
stitution which will admit the payment
of full TRANSPORTATION expenses instead
of making them use part of Their
princely salary of 5000 to get to Hart
ford and back. 1t must be approved
by the voters of the state and the
next general assembly and it is be-
heved that the people will take the
sensible view of the question.

General Hamilton Tells of GaIliEoI
Fighting.

General Hamilton Tells of GaIliEoIi
Fighting.
How the British and French through
the summer kept at grips with the
Turks in Gallipoh with terrible losses
on both sides on the arid, congested
area where the gain or loss of few
yards of trenches measured the tide
of battle and the dead lay so thick
that temporary armistice was i'm
| perative, is related by General Sir Ian
Hamilton. commander of the British
forces, in despatch to Lord Kitchen
er:
Covering the fighting in the OAR
! danelles from May 5 to July l, the ac-
count sheds little light on the general
/ military situation, being mainly note

what the conteners endured Indirect

and fighting qualities of the Turks.
/ General Hamilton gives no support 10

the morale Of the Turks has been

Going back to May 5, soon after the
allies obtained their first footing on
the peninsula, General Hamilton re-
lates how the commanders, pressed for
achievements. found it necessary to
mix the French and British troops ''to

There appears to be no limit to

REAPINe WHAT THEY sowEp.

1t was declared that the kaiser
mourned for those who were killed
when airmen of the allies dropped
bombs upon Karlsruhe some months
ago and it is believed that he has
had opportunity to repeat on subse-
uent occasions, one of which may be
the recent assault upon Stuttgart,
though the results of that air attack
have not as yet been disclosed.
If on-combatant lives have been
taken, and that city is not classed
among the fortified so that It would
not be surprising IL there were, it
cannot help but bring forth sincere
regret from all quarters that such
methods of warfare have been resort
ed to by the allies. Whatever move
they have made in that direction,
however has come as the result of
previous efforts of like character by
Germany, the Stuttgart assault being
referred to as the retaliation measure
for the airship attacks upon London.
Thus, however much the kaiser has
mourned and wept for the loss Of his
subjects not engaged in the war, it is
| impossible to place the responsibility
for such deeds anywhere except upon
Germany. That country inaugurated
the method. Instead of combining their
attacks to the Notifications and points
of military value. it has been the cit
liens, defenseless men, women and
children, who have suffered and in the
retaliatory methods. adopted by the
allies they are but giving the Germans
dose of their own medicine. If a
country expects that another with
which it is engaged in war is going to
observe the rules laid down for such
| occasions, it must come pretty near
doing so itself. Otherwise it must bear
| the results unfiinchingly.
