Italian Papers Comment
on Pope Benedict's Plea
Ru .4ttocinte6 Prctt

Milan. Italy. July 80, via Paris. July
81, 1920 P. M.-The entire press of
this city, commenting on the pope s
appeal to the belligerent countries,
says it shows the pontiff's ardent de-
sire to see the conflict ended.
The Corrieur Della Sera, however,
remarks that any Intervention in favor
of peace will find an insurmountable
obstacle. namely, that the conflict
cannot end except with a victory for
the entente allies the conflict being
for them a defensive war inspired by
pure ideals of liberty and justice. Thus
the condemnation of the pope, says
the newspaper, strikes at those who
for ambition and a desire for pre-
dominance unclaimed war.

BIGGER AND BETTER EASTERN
 CONNECTICUT,

The need of working for the greater development of this end of Connecticut has for a long time been realized and it has at the same time been thor oughly appreciated that the best re- suits in such an endeavor are going to come through cooperative action. There is a need for the stimulation of interest to such an end in each and every town of Eastern Connecticut.
 For two years during the existence of the Eastern Connecticut Develop nent committee in which are interest ed five civic organizations from as many centers there has been disclosed the benefits and possibilities of work ing together, one for the other and each for them all, in setting forth the advantages of this section of the state, improving the conditions, developing it's resources and creating closer relation between the communities.
 Instead of limiting this working to these five centers, it is now proposed with proper foresight to enlist in this work all the civic organizations of the cities and towns of the two counties of which there are many Rural as well as city improvement is sought and through the combined activity of each and every civic association under whatever local name 1t may appear greater cooperation and greater results are possible. The extension of this opportunity to such boards, leagues and associations should and 1t is be- lieved: will meet with a generous re- sponse. Everyone can and should have a hand in making a bigger and better Eastern Connecticut.

HELPING A CITY WITH ROSES.

Seven million, two hundred thou sand roses are blooming on a single hedge surrounding thirty acre orange grove near the city of Los Angeles It is 8 hedge eight feet high and four feet across containing La France, La Marque, Henrietta and Papa Gontfer varieties and the total number was estimated by carefully counting a squared section.
 This is only one of the great num- Der of beauty spots Of southern Cal ifornia where roses grow in great pro fusion, though it is by no means the only section where roses can and are being grown for the delight of the residents and the attraction of far greater number of visitors. Rose gar dens are featured in many cities, par ticularly in places which are disposed to give attention to its parks, and during the blooming season draw from all quarters of a state many thousands of visitors and lovers of flowers. It quickly becomes a magnet which gives valuable publicity and proves a draw ing card of permanent value. It is the active city, the city which makes the neighbors and others whether on business or pleasure bent want to come again that appreciates and secures just such an attractive asset.
 This is 8 feature which Norwich should be quick to cultivate. It may not be able to produce Californian dis plays, but it can surely do much in the way of such Identification throughout the city and rose garden at the park which would be possible of highly gratifying results.

ENDS GERMAN RAIDERS.

Despite the persistent assertions that the Kronprinz Wilhelm had simply come into Newport News for repairs and provisions and that 1t was going out just as it came in, little confidence was placed in them. The internment therefore is only what was expected It was forecasted by the action of the Prinz Eitel and there was certainly less reason for this lone vessel to at tempt to get past the British squad ron in waiting than there would have been for the former.
 This action terminates German &C., tivity on the high seas. Though han dicapped from the very start by hav- ing it's navy bottled up in the protec- ton of home ports the light and con- yerted cruisers have taken full advan- tage of the great expanse of ocean and the opportunities for hiding from the enemy while preying upon it's con- merce. Because of the large number of merchant vessels and the small number of German warships at large the result of the raiding operations shows 8 small total in comparison with the great amount of shipping at risk. hut with the list of vessels which the Krouprinz Wilhelm has to it's: credit

iTALY'S ACTION,

Ftiorn a high official in Italy comes the statement that his country will not ente1 the war. As an offset to this Col, t9aribaldi makes the assertion that war will be declared by Italy against Austria on or before the 18th of May. The declarations may be looked upon as etqpressing the desires of the re- spectdVe men or there may be a guard ing cH the exact situation in one case and hlot in the other. Time will tell.
 TheA calling home of a number of the ambassadors to European coun- tries nnay appear to give support to the rH'ediction of Garibaldi, but de- spite ene clamor which prevails in that countley for war there is also a strong effort being made to adjust the situa- ton d plomatically and refrain from the ter rife losses which must follow participating in the great conflict.
 Whet her this can be done depends upon i.he willingness of Austria to meet the demands. Italy wants an
 mports mt part of Austrian territory which it formerly possessed, and it is ,s,sekinss to obtain other valuable con- cessious. It is responding to the de- n1;ands of the people in this regard and it remains to be seen whether it can sat ssfy them with such progress as it is making in that direction without goin g to war, or whether they will in sist upon getting it at any price. Aus tria ih- the meantime is taking advan- tage of the benefit which comes throu gfa prolonging Ha1y's final de- cision. Italian sentiment does not in- dieates "a disposition to compromise. Its demands are likely to be insisted upon and ol ltained in one way or the other.

While it is true that there may be a wide difference between a govern ment estimate made on April and the crop as harvested several months af- terward, still the chance is even that the crop may be increased instead of decreased. The exceptionally high price of wheat since the war began and the prospect of q great demand until the war ends induced farrners to increase their acreage beyond every precedent. Big crops are the basis for good times in the United States. so that the latest wheat forecasts will make cheerful reading for all business the farmers.-Norwalk Hour.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR
Action on License Question.

MT. Editor: Reading in today's Bul-
 letin of the doings of the house on
 the license question called to my mind
 a preachment by the Bulletin Parson
 ing the words, Whatsoever a man
 soweth, that shall be also reap" It is evident that these words have no
 reference to material things. We are
 told that the field is the world, the
 harvest the end of the world. He that
 man; that the good seed is the word
 Cor the truth); that it is the hearts
 of those into which these words fall
 that are the ground-shallow. stony
 or good. That it is an enemy that sows tares Cor lies). That full text
 nocked. Whatsoever man sowetl,
 that shall he also reap" The context seems necessary to a, right under
 standing. It says that he that soweth to the flesh shall reap corruption and he that soweth to the spirit, life ever- chapter, Gal. tells the fruit of each sowing. In mentioning those that got
 theirs the Parson didn't mention the woman brought to Jesus taken in adul- tery in the very act. To my mind Jesus knew who sowed the seed that brought forth, this act. When her &C., cusers got His answer they were con- victed in their own conscience and went out, leaving the woman. Per haps if every judge before passing sen tence, would ask Jesus that same question it might make a difference. or even read the second chapter of
 Romans: certainly some of the preach CTS ought. With our storehouses ill., ed to overfowing in the form of jails, penitentiaries almshouses, insane asy- lums and sanatoria, and the state to build another calling it a state farm for inebriates, it seems to me we are sowing too much of the ground to the flesh: If some material concern was manufacturing or growing some pro duct at a big cost, and found there was no call or sale for 1t, would 1t keep
 on producing and building storehot1ses until it was bankrupt? I think not. It would stop producing. But the chill dren of this world are wiser in their generation than the children of light. But be not deceived, God is not mock ed. No matter what we label our seed bag, God knows when we are sowing what the seed is. and we may all know what has been sown by the crop that | is gathered. He that goeth forth weep I ing bearing precious seed, shall doubt | less come again with joy, rejoicing, bringing his sheaves with him. Preach l the Word. -

What Russians Have Done,

Just as Field Marshal von Hiden- burg has become a dominating figure throughout all Germany, so, in the province of East Prussia, Adolph von Batocki, the Ober Praesident, has be- come the most prominent character be- cause of his indefatigible efforts in behalf of the hundreds of thousands of persons made homeless by the in- road of the Russian.
 Won Batocki began his work as soon as he was called from private life to his high office last fall, for much had by that time been destroyed and devasted. With the more recent raid on Meme1. and the destruction of majority of the district of which 1t is the center, he once more took to the field.
 It was at Tilsit, one-time prey of the Russians, that an Associated Press correspondent met him, fresh from the countryside teeming with the wagons of the fugitives. He had just completed an investigation of the work of the Russians, which had been sur- prisingly thorough and dispassion- ate.
 fingered at the vast amount of de- structioa he was, but he had not in the least been misled by wild reports and congregations. He was intensely fair minded toward the Russian and quick 1y gave them credit for decent ac- tions.
 By 8 thorough sitting process he got to the bottom of the tales of the fu- Ettives and disproved much of what had been told him under the stress of wild excitement. Moreover he had seen the humor in many of the situa- ttons he had encountered and was not wholly depressed by what he had been through.
 Three hundred thousand inhabi- tants of his province, he estimated, had fled from their homes or the re- mains of them, and had to be cared for in various parts of Germany. To accomplish their care, typical German system has been resorted to. so that about 1,500 fugitives from each sec ton were taken care of together, ap- portioned off to districts all over Ger many.
 These 800 ,oo0 persons, older and very young people in the majority. have fled from the agricultural dis tricts all along the curving Russian border, from a district 300 kilometers or more in length, and extending in ward into the German empire any where from 10 to 75 kilometers. For the most part these fugitives are still absent from their homes, nor

BELGIAN RELIEF.

Magnificent has been the response which has been made by this coun- try through different agencies for the relief of the war stricken people of Europe. It has gone forward in many forms and through various channels for the supplying of the many urgent needs in the way of hospital supplies, necessary foodstuffs, clothing and cheer. All has been warranted by the conditions which have followed the ravages, of the war whether they have
 gone to the relief of the women, chil-
 dren ant aged or to the a1leviation of
 the suffering of the sick and injured
