MISSED ELEMENTARY FACT.

The country needs be thankful that it was not formed to bear the hurnilia- ton which would have been forced upon it had the president been dis posed to listen to and be guided solely by MT. Bryan. Personal ambitions and convictions which were not based upon the facts in the matter have been put forward by the ex-secretary of state and he showed no disposition to pass judgment upon the actual case that was before him.
 If MT. Bryan had any following at all which was secured through the de- sire for peace at any price and from the wrong impression which his action and statement gave as to the tenor of the note, it must now have disappeared entirely. Even to his friends MT. Bry- an must be a colossal disappointment.
 In this connection the Springfield Republican well says: MT. Bryan's general attitude. indeed, is destructive of the established rights Of neutrals in favor of the claims of belligerents to do as they please. The essence of neutrality is to insist on neutral rights. If certain neutral rights are surren- dered for the benefit of one side in a war that very act becomes fagrantIy OilA1SutId4 HI Lu6 eyes OI the OIn6F side in the war. We cannot abandon the rights of neutral Americans on the high seas, whether they are wealthy passengers or plain sailors. so as to facilitate the German submarine oper- ations without letting the very bot tom drop out of our neutrality alto gether. It now appears that MT. Bryan was secretary of state during ten months of the greatest war in history without grasping this elementary fact"
 More and more does it thus become apparent that by his resignation the administration has overcome a serious embarrassment.

PARK TRANSPORTATION

Livery now and then. profting by the good results which have followed ! in other places, the proposition is ad- Vanced in cities for the blishment . and development of a park system. It has come to be realized that this is one of the important requirements of a progressive city and that it means much to the future of every growing community. Breathing places and re- creation spots are necessary for the contentment of the population and particularly that part of it which lives in small quarters and has no place but : the street to take the air.
 For the satisfying of the demand for parks many cities consider the expen- allure of sizable sums to be a first class investment. A city is measured by the attention it gives to meeting such requirements. Happily Norwich was excused from the expenditure of its funds for the purchase of parks through the thoughtfu1ness and civic interest of many of its citizens, present and past Through their generosity it possesses some beautiful tracts of land which find daily appreciation from the many who use them.
 Norwich at the present time is not suffering from the lack of parks, but from the lack of proper transportation facilities for reaching its largest and best, in the development of which it has spent number of thousand dol lars. Through the attention which is given Mohegan park each year a mag nif1cent recreation ground has been established and it is time that it was brought nearer to each and every one who would like to enjoy its beauties but who are prevented through the Failure to supply the needed service.

SUBMARINE PRISONERS.

It must be recognized that the an- nouncement made by Secretary Ball. four of the British admiralty is based upon good judgment when it is de- cIared that hereafter the German sub marine prisoners willAbe accorded iden- ticaI treatment with all other German prisoners in England.
 | When it was decided by his prede- cessor that less liberties and decidedly different treatment would be given those who were captured from German underwater craft such course was based upon the idea of discouraging the submarine policy. On the contrary it resulted in severe retaliation, not upon prisoners of a similar class. but upon all English prisoners that were taken and many stories of distressing conditions have followed.
 Such an idea of reserving a certain class of prisoners for different treat ment than others was properly dis posed of by the Russians when upon the suggestion being made that cap tured aviators who threw bombs on defenseless places should be put to death, it was held that such men were simply the instruments of others who were far more guilty. They were but the servants of their superiors and in- asmuch as the penalty could not be applied where it belonged the prisoners should not be made to pay it.
 Great Britain simply invited retalia- tion when it announced it's plan for submarine crews and it received it in full measure. The decision which has now been reached to abandon that course is therefore only what should have prevailed at the start

THE FRANK CASE,

In spite of all,the efforts which have been made to save the life of Leo Frank the question as to whether he must go to the gallows or state pris- on for life rests with the governor of Georgia. Every other method has been exhausted and by the determination of the governor to hold hearings con- corning the appeal for communication it is evidenced that he fully realizes the responsibility which rests upon his shoulders.
 The Frank case has unusual features and the very fact that it is claimed that the verdict was ainf1uenced by mob action. so much so that it resulted in the statement by the trial judge that he did not believe the evidence was sufficient to convict, and that -subse- quently two members of the United Etates supreme court were of the opinion that justice had not been done he accused at his trial furnish grounds For the taking of the course by the governor which makes it possible to

Stories of the War
Honers to Boy of 1e.

On one of the plateaus of French Lorraine where the French made a heroic resistance to the invading forces in September, General Joffre recently reviewed the division of cav airy commanded by General Humbert He conferred a number of decorations but left to General Humbert, himself, the duty of pinning the cross of the Legion Of Honor on the breast of his son, Jean Humbert, a. hero of only 19 years of age. doubtless the youngest wearer of the coveted red ribbon.
 Jean Humbert was in his first year at Saint Cyr at the end of last July, and with his classmates was promoted second lieutenant and incorporated in the army. Wounded in a night attack in Lorraine, while courageously lead- ing his section, he was promoted first lieutenant. He returned to the front in December, went through the winter campaign and was again wounded last month. He was too young to be pro- noted captain so Joffre decided that he should have the cross of the brave
 His brother. Jacques Humbert, only year older, has also been once wounded and is again at the front par ticfpating in the French offensive north of Arras, having earned the stripes of captain.
 Besides his two sons, General Hum bert has two brothers commanding battalions. one of whom was killed 1T the battle of the Marne. The other if commanding regiment now in the north.

MAKE.1T SAFE AND SANE.

The safe and sane Fourth idea gain ed widespread recognition as soon as 1t was realized what a need existed for putting into effect just such a re- form. It has resulted in a noteworthy decrease in the number of lives sacri- feed and an even greater change in the large list of crippled and injured. It has demonstrated over and over again the wisdom which suggested the abandonment of the old time method of celebrating the nations great holi- day.
 A little thought given to the mat ter quickly reveals the good, sound sense which is back of the idea. There is good reason for properly observing the anniversary, but nothing is gained and no greater patriotism is shown by the needless increase of the death lists or the filling of hospitals with blind and wounded and homes with sor- row when there is no necessity for it. Sober second thought ~on the day after usually discloses the folly of such practice and the safe and sane idea is to use that same sensible reasoning in advance rather than after the harm has been done.
 Let there be patriotic exercises in Wnlcn there Will De general part1cl- patton and such other demonstrations as can be carried out with reasonable safety and a. proper amount of con- sideration for the aged and sick, but let there be a curtailment of the dan gerous and death-inviting handling of explosives. It is we'll that sanity should prevail in all things and there is as much reason that it should be applied to the Fourth of July observ- ance as-to a SLNday school picnic.

There are many strange cases of un- conscious memorizing, one of the most Germany, who, in extreme illness, as tonished all by repeating passages of Greek, Latin and Hebrew, although she was known to have no acquaint- ances with those languages. It was found that in youth she had been em- ployed in the family of a professor who was accustomed to repeat aloud, while walking in his study, passages from his favorite authors. Working in the adjoining room, the girl uncon- sciously absorbed the phrases, although never conscious that she had memor- ized them.

correct mistake if. .as 1t Is claimed. such has been made.
 The division which existed in the report of the prison commission which had considered the communication plea indicates again the feeling of doubt that has surrounded the evidence from the very first. If Frank is guilty there is no question but what he should pay the penalty for the crime, but he is entitled to a fair and uninfuenced trial and with much doubt existing as to that the. governor will be justified, if as the result of his investigation he finds that the circumstances warrant the communication.
