HOW TO GET PEACE.
Application of Golden Rule Advocated
by E. B. Bissell.

Editor of The Reformer:-
Although as nation we are allowed
to remain neutral we feel the bad eff
fects of the greatest war that the
world ever knew. | make this asser
tion on the ground that we cannot pros
per unless our neighbor prospers. The
genealogy of my ancestors reads as fol
lows: Edward Bissell, son of Horace
Bissell; Horace Bissell, son of Austin
Bissell, who was the son of Ozion Bis
sell second; Captain Ozion Bissell, son
of Captain John Bissell, also grandson
of John Bissell, and the said Capt.
Ozion Bissell assisted in establishing
American independence while acting in
the capacity of volunteer and officer in
Connecticut troops. He raised one of
the first companies in 1875 and marched
to Boston and was at the siege of that
city. He was appointed lst lieutenant,
I'd company, 4th regiment, of Connect
lieut. in l7f5, promoted Capt. Cd COM
pany, 4th regiment of Connecticut. In
the Revolutionary war he served first
as volunteer engaged in battle at
Long Island in 1916, when he was TAX
en- prisoner. In June, 1873, he was APP
pointed captain of a company in Col.
huntington regiment, WAS appointed
March 90, 1880, captain in foot com
pany in Col Wells s regiment and
served until 17S1, was taken prisoner
with Col. Wells near Harsneek, Conn,
Dec. 10, 1880, and held until June, 1881.
will leave out the remainder of
the record of ancestors, which shows
that Capt. Ozion Bissell s sons and
grandsons served 100 years in the mill
tary service of the United States
John Bissell, senior, came from Eng
land in 1910, and the Civil war records
show that nine of my relatives respond
ed to the call for soldiers. All living
within our borders should stand firm
for the principles for which our fore
| fathers fought aud established. Other
wise freedom and liberty will gradually
| fade away and we shall be on a level
with our neighhors across the sea who
have a different form of government
| Quoting from Ben Franklin, "there
never was a good war or q bad peace. =
| The golden rule is the only remedy to
stop wars and have permanent peace
| When this sentiment becomes universal
peace and harmony will prevail.

EXTRA SESSION MAY
BE CALLED MARCH 4
Wilson Wants Railroad Legislation
Passed - Measures Needed to
Meet Future Emergencies.

WASHINGTON, Dee 10. = Unless
congress passes the important features
of the President s recommendations re-
garding railroad legislation, II is prob
able that a special session of that body
viii be called after March 4.
The President indicated yesterday
that he expects the senate and house
to put through the major portion of
such legislation between now and ad-
iournment He called attention to the
fact that the committee Of the house
and senate having the question in
charge are already at work and that be-
fore many days have elapsed they will
be able to present 10 the two bodies
measures which are designed to put in
to effect what the President desires
shall be placed upon the statute books
effecting this important problem.
He believes that the Newlands com
mission, now dealing with the subject,
will have to be granted an extension
of time by congfess in order to COM
plete its labor
SO far as the present negotiations be-
tween the brotherhoods and the rail
road employers respecting the railroad
situation are concerned, these will have
no bearing upon the future action OF
the President or congress. The Presi.
dent maintains that the legislation be
has recommended is necessary to meet
all emergencies which may rise in the
future and should be enacted in order
to protect the interests of all parties
concerned

 It was stated that the board of di- rectors of the National Automobile Chamber of Commerce had authorized it's executive ito meet the military au- thorities at every point" and the Amer ican Automobile association and the American Railway association commit. tee also would lend cooperation.

and means must be had to form unit: of procurable machines and material The automobile industry will in tn, last analysis have to supply the mer to man the trucks as well as the truck. themselves. The number of trucks need ed would depend on the length of hau rather than the number of men or the amount of supplies to be hauled. I is estimated that there is nearly 30 per cent saving operating trucks 3( miles a day as compared with horse haulage.

 There is good assurance that an ade. quate military transportation system would be established and maintained IT this country. inasmuch as the govern ment officials and the civilian authori. ties are working sincerly with due strenuousness and effectiveness to this end.'

Thinks He Has Found
 Scarlet Fever Germ

Boston, April 22.-An attempt to identify isolated bacilli as those or scarlet fever, was being watched with interest by the staff of the city hospital today. Germs iso- lated by Dr. Frank E. Mallory. as- sociate professor of pathology at the Harvard Medical school, as the probable bacilli of that disease, were injected four days ago into the veins of H. R. c. Mott and Hugh w. Rice, former orderlies of the institution, for the purpose of determining whether scarlet fever would develop.
 The disease was expected to manifest itself within five or six days. physicians said. Should Dr. Mallory's theory of the identity of the germs prove correct, a vaccine for treatment of scarlet fever could be obtained readily. it was said, and the disease would be robbed of many of it's dangers.

HARD FIGHTING ON THE VERDUN FRONT WITHOUT RESULTS Heavy Forces Thrown Into Battle by Both Sides-No
 Notable Gains
RUSSIANS ON WAY TO
 THE FIGHTING FRONT
British Campaign Against German East Africa Is Progressing Declare British Lost 1000 Men
 in Mesopotamia Battle

Hard fighting has been in progress in the Verdun region and heavy forces have been thrown into the battle by both sides, but the changes of ground have not been notably great.
 The struggle seems to have been most intense in the region of Dead Mans Hill, northwest of the fortress, where French and Germans have taken turns in launch ing an offensive.
 Neither side claims any gains. Paris admits that the Germans secured foot hold in some of the new French trenches but declares the ground previously won was afterward all regained,
 Berlin comedies a French gain in the Caurettes wood, just to the west of the Mouse, where trenches have frequently changed hands.
 Toward the northern end of the west ern battle line the British have succeeded in regaining a part Of the ground re- gently lost to the north of Ypres, their attack resulting in the recapture of abo 200 yards of the 500 captured by the Germans on April 19
 RUSSIANS TO FRONT
 The Russian troops which landed at Marseilles on Thursday are already on their way north, presumably to the fight ing front passing through the city of Lyons on Saturday. They were given an enthusiastic greeting all along the route.
 The British campaign against German East Africa is being actively waged and General Shuts, in command, has reported the occupation of Umbugwe and Salanga, which places columns of the expeditionary forces some 100 miles inside the border of the German colony
 The Turkish account of the battle of April r on the Tigris declares the Brit ish were defeated with the loss of more than 4O00 men in killed and wounded. The Turks recaptured the positions the Brit ish had previously taken and with th4n 13 machine guns and few prisoners. A subsequent attack on April 19 was re- pulsed.
