IN ACCORDANCE WITH ITS POL.

For the lack of any good reason for making such an attack upon an Amer ican ship as was done in the case of the Gulhight many excuses are being suggested on behalf of Germany. Ii is thought possible that during fos the commander of the submarine was not able to make out that the tanker was flying the American flag. but took it for granted that it was a British ship and started out to sink it, and as the result of such mistake Ger many will be eager to express its re- grets and offer proper reparation.
 Such represents a very generous at- titude towards Germany and its naval policy, for regardless of the fact that it was a United States ship and even allowing that it had been a British vessel there was not the least justi- f1cation for the sending of torpedo into it without first giving the crew an opportunity to escape.
 The blowing up of a vessel without making due inquiry as to its nation ality Is what this country has beer protesting against. It Is in opposition to all rules of warfare and even though in this instance the GuIf1ight may have been mistaken for the enemys ship there are very poor grounds for the offering of such an excuse. It Is a sit uation which should have been prop erly guarded against and has been by all other nations engaged in the war It is just such a result as was to bt expected from the carrying out of tho German policy, a policy which entirely disregarded the rights of neutrals ana which has now resulted not only il direct and serious damage to Ameri can property, but the loss of three lives. There Is nothing thus far whici shows that Germany is entitled to hay, the affair looked uDon as a. mistake

COMMITTEE SAYS NO DIVISION.

For the second time, after a three weeks delay since the first vote was taken. the committee on new towns and probate districts has been called together for another vote upon the petition for the separation of the town of Norwich, and for the second time there has been a majority expression against the proposition which never had the slightest ground for taking up the time of the general assembly
 It having been determined that the committee is firm against favoring such an unjust proposition the report thereon, which has been delayed too long already. should be presented to the house, in which body the petition was presented and be quickly disposed of by the acceptance of the majority report. That is the one sensible and Justifab1e course. It nGver should have been prolonged until it had to be taken up in the crush of the bigger matters in the closing days of the legislature.
 In accordance with the position taken by the legislature the majority report upon being presented should be promptly accepted. It represents the feeling of the business interests and people who are directly concerned, and IL IS deC1S1on which the majority reached from the overwhelming amount of evidence and clear-cut facts crying out against division as presented be- fore them, without it being considered necessary to view the premises and get additional evidence as to the injus- tice which would be caused by sep aration. Norwich looks for the only right action which is possible in con- nection herewith, namely, the presen- tation and acceptance of the majority and adverse report without any more jockeying. If there ever was there can be no question now where the committee stands and what it thinks of the petition. The people of Nor wien have said no, the legislative com mittee has said no and now let the leg islature do likewise. It is the one just thing to do.

MEMORIAL DAY OBSERVANCE,

In view of the fact that Memorial day this year falls upon Sunday and preparations have been made in many places for the holding of mass meet ings and exercises with prominent or atorS for the occasion on that day the suggestion has been made that it might be advisable if the practice was followed of holding the Memorial day exercises each year on the last Sun- day of the month and devote Memorial day to the actual decorating of the vet erans' graves.
 Such an idea is prompted no doubt by the disposition which now pre- vails of making Memorial day a day of sports and indulgence in most all kinds of outings aside from the pur- pose for which the day is designated Sporting proclivities usually get a gen. erous indulgence on. that day and as a rule there is slight attention paid to the proper observance in spite of the attention to which the living as we'll as the departed Boys in Blue" are fully entitled.
 That there will be any change in this inclination is doubtful, for while memory of the services rendered in behalf of this republic will not fade the satisfying of the present day de- mands for outdoor pleasures and pas times are not likely to wane. The sug- gested change, therefore, takes into consideration the fact that a larger participation in Memorial day observ- ance would be gained through the Sum- day idea thus leaving free for such use as they desired the annual spring hol- iday which is always looked forward to with so much anticipated pleasure by the public in general and which in no way would mar the decoration of the graves,

backed her up and started her, and at last said I didn't see what in thun- der could be wrong with a perfectly good car.
 Louise looked sweetly perturbed. Dear mel" she murmured compassion ately. I wonder if it could be that the gasoline is all used up? There tank when we started, but I was sure 1t would get us there. Do you sup pose that's it?"
 q looked at her appealing, girlish face,'' said the young man telling the story. and I looked at Lem regard ing me mplacently-merely a pas senger, with no worries at all-and I coughed discreetly. Cars, I missed between my teeth, had an unfortunate manner of eating up gasoline. Other wise motoring would be a completely delightful sport. It was usual, pointed out, before starting on 8 nine ty mile spin, to see that there was juice in your car. All well bred mo- torists did that. If not, they picked out some place in which to run down, to civilization. And would MT. Bill craft kindly run over to the nearest garage and get a can of gas? His ex- tra weight, I added, had doubtless pre- vented the gas from lasting till we had got somewhere. Then Lemuel pOLLcIy pOlHl0Q out IndL ne ndQn the least idea which way to go, so I'd have to go myself. Anyhow, an automobile salesman, he said, should have a sixth sense, telling him when the gas tank was about to be empty.
 ''I walked acres of plowed fields and waited forty minutes for a street car and rode five miles and got the gas. I repeated the journey back, and when got there Lem and Louise announced their engagement. So I'm kind of soured on these sweet, helpless girls. Pm now looking for one who can roll up her sleeves and tackle an engine when it blows up and vulcanize tire if she has to!"-Chicago News.

 It is customary to bewail and de- plore a bad memory. Maybe in most cases a bad memory is a matter for congratulation. The knowledge we need and use stays with us; only that which we do not use slips from us. Just as the physical organ which is not used, and therefore becomes superf1uous, atrophies, so the know1-
 edge that is not useful or needful to us dies out of us. It is more than possible that a bad" memory may
 be a selecting memory, which is not only useful for what it retains but for what it rejects. In the immense
 mass of fact which constantly sieve through the mind in modern liter ature and life it is well that one should suffer from as little bewilder-
 ment as possible.-Hartford Post.

Those interested in base ball are inclined to take sides with the Bos- ton team in refusing to play with New York this week because of the fact that a federal league player was in the lineup. There is bad blood be- tween the old leagues and the feder- als, the former are evidently trying to crush the latter and if they were to use it's players, even though the lat ter had jumped their contracts, it would have been an act of which they themselves had been complaining and would have placed them in awkward position. It seems bit strange that Manager McGraw, usually such a shrewd man, should have agreed to such a proposition. President Tener has decided that the offending play CT will not be allowed to play with the National league. McGraw must feel a bit chagrined at the way this mat ter has turned out.-New Britain Her aid.

Jitney bus regulation Is a problem before every town of any size in the country and it appears that in all the same question has arisen which has so wonderfully stirred up the sentiment of Los Angeles citizens-they who first succumbed to the jitney bus craze. There is always a party for regula- tion and a party against regulation, and generally the latter is against it because it fears that regulation may become oppression. It's the story of the trolley and the stage coach over again, after all, and the arguments pro and con sound much the same as those of the days when electric rail- ways coaches drove the horse bus owners out of business in al we'll set tied communites.-Wa Repub- Hcan.

OTHER VIEW POINTS

The optimistic report of the state entomologist to the effect that the plague of tent caterpillars would be subdued this year through the natural enemies of the pest is not borne out by present indications, unless mankind is to be included under the category of natural enemies. In trees in the vii cinity Of Bridgeport the ugly cater pillar is all too prevalent at the pres ent time, and judging from the number of nests, is going to have a busy sea- son destroying fruit trees unless checked by some drastic means. '~There ought to be a law" against tent cater pillars, but there isn't, and the only effective means of fighting them is to get out with torch and broom and destroy the webs which harbor them.

T IFE at it's best is always struggle

- for our individual solution. No one
can work it out for us, though many may
help, but our own living of our lives constl-
tutes our solution of our problem Why not

things of life, we must fight to win, and
having won, we must still fight to hold! a
victory over unfavorable circumstance and
conditions is splendid. But the mere viii
lingness and moral stamina to put up
fight is a big and worth while thing. There
is a certain victory in the mere throwing OF
of sloth and laziness and girding yoursel1
for the fray: The stages OF success success al are e
frmness to go on striving in the face Of
seeming failure; and third, the courage and
wisdom to turn the fight to victory.-Ann
