CALLS FOR ACTION.

Many and serious are the charges
Which have been made against agents
of the German government in articles
published in the New York World and
the Providence Journal. They are of
a character which it is not to be sup
posed would be made without the well
substantiated facts to back them up,
This is indicated by the documentary
proof which accompanied the recent
revelations in the former paper and
by the presentation of facts in the
case of the latter to the navy Glepart-
ment concerning the propa ganda sup
ported by Germany.
1t is quite natural that this govern
ment should be deeply interested in
these revelations if it is not already
informed. 1t may be well enough to
overlook the efforts which are made
for the creating of sympathy in behalf
of Germany and its cause right
which is not against the interests and
laws of this country. but when agents
are maintained by the German govern
ment for the purpose of influencing
affairs in this country it is time that
it received the needed attention and
action.
1t is not to be supposed that the
government uoeS not possess 1nforma-
ton concerning most if not all the cir
Cumstances referred to but now that
they have been brought to light, If
they are as represented and the truth
OF them is established it would ap-
pear to be time to ask for the recall
of those who are protected against
punishment by this country because
of their connection with another gov
eminent. seek On
count those who can be punished here.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR
City Streets or Country Roads.

Mr.. Editor: What would Norwich
do these times If 1t were not for the
automobiles and trolleys that are
bringing outsiders into our city to
spend thei- money, and to think we
hav9 got citizens opposed to laying
out any S2oney to improve city streets
end yet advocate spending $4,000 or
more on a country road
Is it not better to put our city
streets in good repair and have the
strangers come into our city than to
pay coed money to fix country roads
for the same strangers to give us the
go-by as they certainly will never
come down the West Main Street hills
but once. 1t would seem by the way
things are going we would need an
other addition to tho bug house to
hold all that are eligible for accommo-
dationS.
Now Mr.. City Taxpayer and Mer-
chant, get out Thursday night as you
are the ones who will have to pay
9-10th Of the cost to steer the automo-
biles clear of our city.

shown by returns of the State tax on
