 No surprise attaches to the reluctance to which Italy and France approach Englands proposal in the matter of altering her blockade" programme Such precedent as England seeks to establish might very well prove disastrous to either of her allies at future date The plan. announced in the dispatches represents further encroachment upon the rights of neurals and the nattest and most unapologetcai de- nial of those rights yet attempted In llegalty 1t rep resents decided advance over the orders in council as rather desperate attempt effect the complete economic strangulaton of Germany
 In substituting the "blockade" for the orders In council. what the British government are doing is not to legaiize this procedure as the termnoogy might intimate but to extend their present illegal programme and also to appropriate the privileges that accompany legal blockade which they had hitherto surrendered in consideration of the conferred eguarity They pro- pose now not only to seize neutral shppngs destined for neutral ports but also confscate them as vola ors of blockade whereas under the order in council compensation was promised for such seizures.
 The practical effect of such change so iar as this country Is concerned need not be great save that where remuneration has hitherto been pronered none win be forthcoming The important point Is that such a decision by Great Britain will mean an emphatic de- nal of every principle that have contended for in the blockade controversy So far from abandoning the doctrine of ultimate destination" that doctrine s to be applied the more thoroughly and energeticay with the added string of connscaon. So far from bringing the blockade" nearer to legality by contracting the cordon SO as to limit It's effects to enemy ports as nearly as practicable that eordon a to become virtually piratca squadron rowing both the Atlantic and Ned iterrauean enjoying the time all the restrictive powers of a close blockade.
 The government of Washington is, of course keep Ing close eye on the development What 1t wanted at the proper time is protest of such vgor as win quick en the British governments appreciation Of our deter mination to withstand any such clear invasion of our neutral rights It is worth remembering in this con- neotiou that our controversy with Germany cannot be regarded as satisfactorily disposed of 80 long as Great Britain is permitted to Indulge in conduct so plainly provocative of reprsai.

It is the plan now in order to promote harmony to send the colonel and the president of the chamber of com
 
 made of the alternates who would like to go. These officers are accorded tho same privilege as the delegates, eX- cept voting in the convention and gen. erally there is as much desire on the part of many to go as alternates as official delegates. This year no one wants to go. The jaunt is an expensive one and none but those possessed or unlimited means desires to take it to the convention city, putting up at the best hotels and various incidetal eN- penses that only a man of lndepend- l. ent means can meet. It costs at least $500.
 There is not as general desire to choose delegates so early this year, as when it was certain that President Taft would be nominated. Just what the sentiment of the Connecticut del- egation for president will crystalhze into cannot be learned yet There is no general favOrite for the presl- dency here. though the supposed ia yOr of ex-President Taft for Root might determine the delegation to support the former secretary of state, were he placed in nomination.

NOT SICK ENOUGH, PERHAPS

Many people who need a tonic neglect it because they are not sick enough to cause them any worse feeling than one of fatigue and discomfort.

 New Quarters.

With the opening of the new and up-tO-date millinery store of the East ern Millinery company at 223 Main street, the ladies of New Britain have every reason to feel proud that a store of this kind is located here. For the past two years the Eastern Millinery company had shoWrOoms up stairs over Clark & Brainerd's drug store, doing a very large business both wholesale and retail. Their large as sOrtmentS and constant arrivals of the newest in millinery, has made them headuuarters in their line and now they have found it necessary to move to more convenient qua rters, both for the convenience of their custom CTS, to meet the increase in their buSln eS~ and to give the serVic that they feel is due the ladies of the city.
 With the wholesale connections that this house has, and the great quantity that they buy, direct from the largest nanufa acturers in the world, there can be no ouestion of their ability, to serve tl,eir customers with the best that money can buy, at the lowest price. It is the intention of Miss Goodale, th<
