Duty of Silence.

The German soldiers duty of silence, as we'll as of fighting, which in bold type is emphasized on all railroad trains, is reiterated in an announce ment by the authorities of the for tress of Cologne, as follows:
 "The great interest which the Ger man people has shown in everything connected with the war is the cause of the heartiest congratulation. The necessity however of guarding against revealing military movements IS ob- vious. The revelation of such matters can easily result in the greatest harm to the Fatherland.
 Often one thoughtless word about new formations, the direction taken by troops or transports or the names of commanding officers sufhces, if heard by unfriendly ears. to do untold harm to the Fatherland's cause.
 "The layman may not appreciate that the repetition of news which reaches him from the field is anything but harmless. It should be remem- bered, however, that the enemy has a far-reaching information service with antennae stretching far into our coun- try. and that such information import tant conclusions sometimes can be drawn which enable him to make the proper counter moves.
 "The government therefore consid- CTS it a duty to point out the situation and to sound the warning in public places, especially in hotels, railroad carriages and the like. to guard against the revelation of military news to strangers.

the trolley line to the buildings on either side of the street.
 That plan has been actually put in operation in the city of Boston for the relief of the congestion of traffic in Washington street. Concerning it the Boston Herald says: "The streets are actually rendered wider, not only in the few inches measured by the di- ameter of the pole, but rather in the sense of obstruction which Is lifted. After 8 light snow if you will notice the footprints about a pole, you will see that g. considerable margin of side walk space is disused, just as every bad place fin the pavement throws out of use so much of the surround ing area of road surface"
 Boston presents the results of actu- ally putting the plan into operation and there is no question but what it furnishes an admirable example for other cities which are bothered with similar problems.

pARpANELLEs AND eosPHoRus.

While it may be counting chickens before they are matched, since the al lies are yet. some distance from the capture of the Dardanelles and Con stantinop1e, the activity among the Balkan states because of the threat ened change in control of that inn portant point is not surprising. It concerns the important outlet to the Black sea in which a number of coun- tries are interested and it threatens the breaking up of Turkey again in which each would like to participate.
 Russia is vitally concerned in the forcing of the straits while it is equal ly important to Rumania, but naturally all the countries are interested as to which will be the successor to Tur- key. And this raises the question as to whether that waterway will in the future be under the control of any one nation. For a long period Great Britain and France opposed Russia's effort to wrest it from Turkey and it is apparent that Russian control might be no more satisfactory under certain conditions than that of Turkey. Thus little permanent good might be ob- tained simply through a change from absolute control of one nation to that of another.
 Great Britain has expressed it's de- sire to see Russia obtain it's desired outlet yet Sir Edward Grey has de- clared that the control in case of vfc- tory by the allied fleet would be de- cided after the war. Such may indi- cate the disposition to make that wa terway and the adjoining territory neutral ground. in which all nations will have rights. but none absolute control and despite experiences with a scrap of paper" it would appear to be sensible solution.

STREAM POLLUTION.

The question of stream pollution and the necessity of checking it is by no means a new one. It has been rec ognized for a long time that with the growth of cities the problem of talk ing care of the sewage is increasing and this is equally true of those cities which depend upon rivers for the car rying off of the refuse as of those communities which have to provide other methods of disposal. The pol lution of streams is a matter which has been given consideration by the state board of health and while it finds that the conditions in the larger streams are not so bad as those in the smaller ones. since the former are able to keep down unhealthy condi- tions because of the volume of water, the situation is such that steps should be taken to bring about an improvement.
 That being the case it is a ques- tion where early thought and action upon such a matter is going to per init of an easier and better handling thereof, and whether that devolves upon a city or corporations, for the state board finds that factories, mills and dyeplants are large contributors to the existing conditions, the finan- cial side of such a problem cannot be overlooked. It is easy to understand that fishing in such streams as might be polluted might be sacrificed with but little consideration If that was all at stake. but when it is declared that public health demands improve ment and that sewage and refuse from factories should be purified before be- ing turned into the streams, whether such comes directly from sewer sys- terns or from sewer beds, it becomes evident that the quicker the right so- lutton is determined upon the cheaper will be the proposition.

OTHER VIEW POINTS

The state has been planting trees wherever it builds g. new road and when it awarded the first contract in this city under consolidation 1t was arranged that seventy-five trees should be set out on East street. It has been made a custom to have a new tree set out wherever another has been cut down and the plan is to be commended. It should be continued and every pos sible effort made to restore the beauty that once featured our highways and this can only be done by planting trees and then seeing that they are proper ly cared for.-New Britain Herald.
 The Telegram offers a suggestion for making a fortune: Invent a decent cover for milk bottles. The present paper caps in general use upon milk bottles attain the climax of unftness. They are difficult to remove without splashing the milk, they cannot be re- placed with satisfactory results. and they are worse than useless when 1t comes to protecting the milk from dirt and contamination. The washed, combed and curried cows, the sanitary dairy. the white clad attendants, and a joke by a bothersome little bit of dirty cardboard stuck into the top of the milk bottle.-Bridgeport Telegram.
 Bridgeport has been among the cit ies to encourage children to save the pennies and nickels that are ordinarily spent on candy or other luxuries. Ow- ing to the large amount of clerical work that devolved upon the teachers, the system has been temporarily dis continued here. The educational ad- vantage of this system of inculcating a spirit of thrift before habits of ex- travagance have become rooted is far reaching. By discouraging self-indul- gence it tends not only toward greater

ELIMINATING POLES.

Few are the cities which are not confronted at some time with the problem of poles in the main thor oughfares. It might be for the relief of the congested conditions or 1t might be solely for the purpose of improving the appearance of the streets, but in either case the need of keeping them to the minimum has appealed to every community.
 Putting the wires in conduits under ground has brought much relief from the great network of overhead wires which used to fill the streets but such Is not possible with the wires of the trolley systems. Not long ago the sug- gestion was presented in Massa- chusetts city that trolley poles be done away with, especially where there are narrow streets and sidewalks, by at- taching the supporting guy wires for

There are only three cities in the state that depend upon anything but natural methods for the carrying away of sewage. Meriden, New Britain and Danbury have sewage disposal beds which reduce the sludge to an excel lent fertilizer and satisfactorily filter the water. All the other cities turn the sewage into rivers or into the sound and help create a condition which is an offense against the health of the state.-Meriden Journal.

by Elder Richard Baldwin last night
at the meetings being held in the Lat

by the records OF the courts and by
the findings Of the United States Sem

with Brigham Young as its leader
had apostatized and rejected the origi-
nal Latter Day Saints church and was
therefore not entitled to the pane Of
Latter Day Saints, having not only
departed from its teachings but had
the worship OF Adam as our God,
blood atonement, polygamy and other
damnable doctrines Of which the Re-
organized Church Of Latter Day Saints
with headquarters at Lamont, Ia, and
of which the church in Stealey

pathy part or parcel. He also showed
by presenting the teachings Of the
accepted books Of authority Of the
