puNKIRK,s soMRARpMENr.

Even though it has been found that the early announcements to the effect that the German fleet was bombarding Dunkirk are not so, and that the shells which have fallen in that city, so long the objective point of the German forces. came from a powerful gun which has been so stationed as to throw it's missiles of death and destruction into that coast town. 1t reveals the position of the invading force along the coast to be better than has been previously supposed The second bombardment also indicates that following the location of the gun, it was not. as thought, put out of commission by aeroplane attack.
 This furnishes new evidence as to the activity of the Germans in their ambition to extend their control along the English channel coast. Though supposed to be at g. distance suffi- cient to preclude an artillery attack upon Dunkirk, the shelling of the city indicates that either they have qufet- ly and unnoticed approached to point within striking distance, or else they have obtained guns which will cover the distance of twenty miles or so. and do it effectively. In either case ~ i0 o1i 1SSOAAApiASAAIucHI IndC cannot be ignored and indicates what might be expected. should they get control of the cities Of Dunxirk and Calais.
 That the bombardment.w was not from the German fleet which has been de- clared to be roaming the North sea will relieve much anxiety in England, but the disclosure of this new danger to the channel coast means a new point on which the allies must con- centrate their attention. In the mean time 1t will be interesting to learn whether the Germans have made a secret advance or whether they have something new in a portable gun.

Stories of the War
Why He Isn't at the Front.

Few young or middle-aged men are to be seen in the provinces of France now, but there are enough of them promenading the Paris boulevards to exasperate mothers, wives. sisters and sweethearts of soldiers.
 Why isn't he at the front ?' has been a constantly growing question, generally followed by a denunciation, and sometimes resulting in deplorable incidents.
 A young actor was hissed at Lyons when someone in the audience put that question. He asked for hearing and in a choked voice said that he was obliged to speak of something that he had tried for a long time to ignore himself. Tt makes no difference now, though" he said. The doctors give me only six months more to suffer. It would be a great consolation if I could spend that time fighting for France but in spite of my applications, they won't have me"
 Many incurables have been obliged in this way to disclose their secret sufferings. Many foreigners also, who passed for French on the boulevards have declared they were Russian, Eng fish or Belgian. Deputy Henri Galli of Paris asked why they were not serv- reply was that the Russians were mostly political refugees who would be put into prison instead of the army if they returned, while England has no obligatory service, and many Belgians benefited from the old law under which circumscription was by lot. Some of them, also, having served in the civic guard, CT being married, are exempt under existing laws. GalH re- marked that there was nothing to pre- vent the English and Belgians from enlisting in their own armies, and as for the Russians, there was room for them in the foreign legion.
 The Belgian army has been refusing to volunteers the privilege of choosing their regiments and this is supposed to confirm the report that the govern ment intends by decree to modify the existing recruiting laws and call out all physically fit men between the ages of 19 and 25. married as well as single. No mere passports for Holland are delivered to men in this category wishing to return to Belgium

WASTE OF MONEY.

Senator Bree, who has opposed the present plan for the revision of the statutes and the amount which is ap- propriated for that purpose, supports the fight against extravaganza which has been maintained from the start by declaring that the work can be prop erly done for one-Quarter of the SAP, = 900, which it is proposed to pay for 1t.
 Of this there is not the least doubt, for while he refers to firms which make speciality of revising the stat< utes of a state and codifying them and in making a, business of it have developed a system which not only does it thoroughly, efficiently and cheaply. since, as he declares they would be glad to get the job for S1O.- coo, there is just as good reason to be- ieve that there are many men in Con- necticut. any two or three of whom would be glad to undertake the task for similar sum and guarantee the results
 There can be TO question but what the expenditure of $42.000 as proposed is an uniusti6ed use of state money. It is against the very policy of strict economy under which the general as- senbly has been operating. It means the making of fat job for a half dozen while the plea of no funds Is be- ing offered as the excuse for report ing unfavorably a number of admit tedly worthy propositions. It can be locked up in no other light than waste of money and an utter disre- gard for the states finances. When other states use business principles in getting such work done and it is known hot
 ter of what this state has indicated it will pay, terms which this state can also secure, it is a pretty poor commentary on the judgment Of the general assembly and its regard for the states interests

it has obtained the delay necessary to bring itself to the proper state of prep aration, and by the declared agreement with the allies obtained a greater pro- lection in the future that it had in the past
 The demands made by Italy upon Austria were so great that 1t was im- possible to expect that they would be granted. Germany was willing. but all the sacrifice would fall on Austria and it was not. That Italy has remained out of the war has resulted to her advantage, since thereby it has been possible to secure a definite under standing even beyond the end of the war. It Is even indefinite now when 1t will decide to strike, but with the decision made as to just what it. is going to do the element of uncertain ty which has surrounded it is removed. It is a decision which the alliance hoped to prevent, but one which the entente wanted and expected.

their weeks of terrible mountain cam paigning lie considerably to the east ward of the Hohe Tatra.
 The Hohe Tatra, or High Tatra Mountains are the highest in Hungary, rising in a number of peaks beyond 5000 feet. The Franz Josef, or Gerls- ford Peak, the highest in the Car pathian system, attains an altitude Of S,737 feet. The mountains >present many impossible, high sheer wall faces; and there is to be found among them some of the widest scenery be- yond the Alps. The mountainhs rise with a precipitous suddenness, and their barren, f1ssued peaks, inaccessf- ble crests, bleak, rock -obstructed val leys, lonely, bottomless tarns, their bare, jagged ascents make them the least fitting country within reach of the present war-theatre for military operations.
 The Hohe Tatra Mountains include within their area some of the most popular health and pleasure resorts of Hungary. There is a large wealth of wild game in this chain, and hunts men regularly throng here in season. Winter sports draw large numbers to the Tatra every year. while mountain climbing can be practised here in all of its phases. Finally, the Tatra Mountains offer the most delightful of retreats for tho summer fisherman and for the vacationist camper who wants to spend his time in the wild wilds."
