A FINE DEMONSTRATION.

Now that the facts are obta1nable relative to the fire on the steamship La Tou1aine the predicament of that vessel was no less serious than 1ndi- cated. It turns out that the services of the other steamships which were called to its assistance were not re- ur1ired, but 1t was 8 case where 1t was better to have too much assist ance rather than none at all.
 It was not so many years ago that st would have been impossible for the Touraine's captain to have summoned to his aid any such list of ships as finally responded or got in touch with the threatened vessel. It would have made little difference as to the serious ness of the fire or other trouble, only such a steamer as might have beer within the distance covered by old fashioned signals could have been ap- praised of the situation and then in 2 most indefinite manner.
 The demonstration of the safety which is furnished ocean trave through the quick, far-reacEing power of wireless telegraphy Is none the less effective because the vessel was not destroyed. It shows most convinc. ingly that the terror of fire at sea i: greatly diminished by this wonderful agency and displays the great nee6 of equipping each and every vessel whether passenger or freight, witt such apparatus. The wireless gives an insurance to life and property or the high seas of the highest value. | is an invention which has quickly ant repeatedly proved that 1t is in- dispensable and there is every reaseE to believe that it will materially re. duce the number of ocean horrors.

cREEcE,S POSITION,

So far in the present war Greece has been concerned solely through its friendship for Servia and such oppo- sition to Turkey as old troubles have kept alive. That it had no particu- lar reason for maintaining other than an attitude of neutrality has been easy to understand and it is of course to the credit of the king that he has not sanctioned the rushing of the coun- try into another war so soon after the double conflict from which it has not fully recovered. In those Balkan strug- gles Greece was treated rather gen erously in the distribution of Turkish territory and it would not be surpris- ing, unless there is provocation, If il considered itself sufficiently well of at the present time. Such at least would appear to be the position taken by the king in dissenting from the rec concentrations of his premier who re- signed, even though he is later forced

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR
Should Safeguard Pedestrians.

MT. Editor: Could I use a small DOT tion of your valuable space on a matter of vital interest that needs attention?
 If human life is to be made a target by half crazed automobilists who speed their cars to such an extent of indiffer- ence, in direct violation of the law, think 1t is time that something like a drastic step should be taken to safe guard pedestrians.
 This afternoon at 1.3o o'clock I was walking by the Davis theatre and came to the corner of Willow street, where two automobiles raced up from Chest nut at a speed that should be con- de,nned as perilously dangerous to hu- man life.
 They were going at such a rate that I Tad time only to catch one. number that being Conn. 2568. I was just go- ing to cross Willow street when the two cars came laundering up, and was lucky to be quick enough to back LID and avoid injury.
 No warning of any kind was given Very respectfully, A PEDESTRIAN. Norwich, March g, 1915.

MAKING A NEW TOWN.

The proposition which has been car ried to the legislature seeking the setting off of the fourth and nfth VOL inr districts of Norwich as a sep arate town deserves not only the l1n- mediate attention, but the strong op- nosition of the town of Norwich when the matter comes before the commit tee on new towns and pronate ols- tricts for a hearing.
 If as believed, the idea of such davision originated through the lear of the result which would attend consolidation of the city and town ana the belief that an effort was to be made to such an end at this sesslon of the general assembly, the basis TOT the petition Is purely imaginary. NO bill was ever drafted for consohdauon to go before this legislature and none can be presented now. There IS no established sentiment for consolidation and no such proposition would nave inc sanction of the people of the town unless it carried with 1t the approval of the taxpayers.
 Likewise in justice to the town of Norwich any such proposition as the removal of two voting districts should first be referred to the people of Nor -vich. They are the ones who are yitally concerned and they are the ones whose expression for and against should be obtained. While faint con- sideration might ordinarily be given by legislative committee to a proposition of the kind which had not been referred to the people, there is excellent ground for presenting the strongest opposition on the part ot Norwich and in that direction the board of trade has made commend able start.

NOT KILLED, SIMPLY DELAYED,


 Real cause for regret is there in the fact that such progress as was made with the Palmer-Owen child la bor bill before the last session of con- gress must go for naught because of the failure of the senate to cake ac- tion thereon. There were reasons to believe that this measure would be passed in both houses, as it was in the lower one, and become law, sipce it had merit and was for the purpose of fighting one of the great existing wrongs. It suffered with other legislation for which there was no time because of the insistence with which the ship purchase measure was pushed and the consequent conges- ton which characterized the closing days of the session..
 It is a case, however, where such a death does not mean the discour- agement of the packers. It can be expected that 1t will be urged before the next session and as the result of the effort that has been spent in its behalf it will stand as good if not g. better chance for it's enactment into law.
 Child labor has long enough stood as a detriment to the nation. It is a problem which should be so handled by the stGtes that it would not be nec- essar,- to bring it before the national lawmakers, but where there is not that disposition on the part of com monwealths to right such wrongs, the restriction of interstate commerce should be applied. Though temporarily delayed the fight is by no means lost. It simply calls for increased vigor in its behalf both before state 1egis1a- lures and at Washington.

After Russians-And Found

After Russians-And Found Them.
 A soldiers letter from the Eastern
 front describes an effort of a patrol
 ling party to discover whether there
 were any Russians in a forest in front
 of the German position. With fixed
 bayonets a handful of men crept at
 night through the woodland. They
 found no game and were emerging
 from the forest at the point where
 they had entered it, when they sud-
 denly saw Russian sentinel before
 them in heavy fur-coat and cap. He
 was half asleep. Taking up the nar-
 rative here, the letter reads:
 "F- seized the Russian by the lapel
 Russian and German. Hands up, we
 demanded. and he did it. One of us
 watched over him while others made
 an examination of the surroundings.
 We found a cave, such as we build for our sentries. We jabbed our bayonets into the straw around the entrance. A non conn., after removing the rifles which the unsuspecting Russians had stacked near the entrance threw a light into the cave and swore fright fully. Out of the dark came creeping
 a dozen members of the 162d Russian
 lardwehr, Tartars, Mohammedans, and men from Kasan. At the point of our bayonets they dropped to their knees.
 But suddenly we discovered we were D0lnR nreQ upon Dy another group of Russians nearby, whose pres ence we had not suspected. Driving our prisoners before us we started out 1 of the woods to cross an open meadow back to our lines. There was a whiz- zingI of bullets about our ears. There could be no thought of trying to de- fend ourselves. Only six of our pris- | oners could we keep with us When we finally reached our lines we dis 1 covered from the men we had taken 1 that the place we had tackled was not a sentry post, as we had thought, but a protected position with trenches and 1oopholes; and there were 30 Russians
 against us five with two other Rus sian trenches close by. It was lucky escape for us to have discharged our task and got away with our prisoners We did not fire one shot. Our captain gave us S5. I send my one herewith to our little war daughter because it was earned without bloodshed"

TRAFFIC REPUTATION.

The controlling of street traffic is a problem which interests many cities and while many have been depending upon state laws to settle the matter others have been adopting regulations of their own which prove more effec- tive. The need of such a step is ap- parent from the manner in which driv- CTS of vehicles are disposed to pass trolley cars from which passengers are alighting and from the manner in which traffic is blocked by standing vehicles.
 In overcoming such troubles Hart ford appears to have reached the so- lution in the enactment and enforce ment of it's traffic regulations. Con- corning the matter the New Haven Journal-Courier well says: "The state law which requires vehicles to pass standing trolley car headed in the same direction at rate of speed not higher than three miles an hour is confessedly a failure. It has never been enforced that we are aware of and there are those who say that it cannot be. At any rate it does not meet the situation which is simple Vehicles should not be permitted to pass a trolley standing for the pur- pose of discharging or receiving pas sengers. It is folly to leave the selu- tion of the problem in the hands of vehicle owners and drivers"
 It is the safety of the people which must be taken into consideration upon such occasions. It is a matter in which deference to the trolley company is entirely eliminated. It makes no diff ference to the trolleys whether vehicles stop or not, but it makes big diff ference to the patrons thereof. Many fatal accidents have occurred by fail ure to stop and that is the condition which should be guarded against.

Where the Kaiser Was Needed.

Where the Kaiser Was Needed.
 Tales from the front reveal why the visits of the kaiser arouse such de-
 voted enthusiasm on the part of the German troops.
 Here is a little incident that fol-
 lowed the bloody days at Soissons
 where the French made assault after
 assault upon the German trenches The kaiser passed through an impro- vised hospital. One tent was closed As he started to enter an officer asked him not to do so. Why not?" asked the kaiser, ir some surprise. 'Your majesty there is something there we would rather you did not see, was the reply. What can that be?" demanded the imperial commander in chief. "A soldier has been terribly torn by
 sharpnel," said the officer. He is dy- ing, and We want to spare you his agony" "One of my soldiers is dying?" That is just the moment he needs me most said the kaiser. He wect into the tent, tenderly pu his arms about the dying private, ant whispered words of comfort into his last closing ears. Then he knelt down at the bedside and prayed with him until the enc came.
 Thus does a soldier die.

Stories of the War
Making Good at Home.

While from day to day there are re- ported the awards of the coveted Iron Cross for bravery on the field, word comes occasionally of incidents of an opposite character.
 In this category falls the case of a private in one of the regiments sent to the Eastern battle front. Just as his company was about to go into ac- tion the embryo soldier was taken i'll and was given a months furlough.
 He promptly appeared in Berlin with a tale of having had his horse shot from under him, of having been wounded and having been saved from dying by his watch, which he said had been shattered by the bullet. Tn testi- nony he showed a hole in his uniform.
 His tale was so realistic and was told with such becoming modesty that he infaturated an elderly woman, who shoWered gifts on him. This result in turn so went to his head that he pres ently appeared with sergeant's stripes promoted by this time-and the in signia of the Iron Cross-and cut a wide swath in feminine society. In- cidentalIy he overstayed his leave.
 The inevitable has just happened. Prompted by jealously. one of his newly acquired girl friends investi- gated and then promptly haled him before the police. A magistrate has decided that five months in prison will do the young man good
