THE EMBARGO ON MUNITIONS.

In view of the demands which have been made by the Mexican members of the commission which is considering a plan for the adjustment of the differ ences between this country and Mex leo, 1t is not surprising that an effort is now being made to have the em- bargo on arms and ammunition lifted. But can the Mexicans who are mak- ing such an appeal seriously think that this country is going to permit the sending of munitions to those who have already used such means of talk ing the lives of United States troops ?
 There has been too much of the lift ing and replacing of the embargo on arms and ammunition already. There was the time when the plea was made that firearms and ammunition be sent into Mexico without restraint since by that method the Mexican problem would be the quicker solved through the killing off of the fighting element. It is we'll known, however, that there are still plenty of Mexicans ready to fight and it doesn't make much diff ference with a large number of them whether they are supporting Carranza or Villa.
 It is claimed in behalf of this de- sire for the lifting of the embargo that the lack of munitions makes it difficult to pursue Villa. Such an ex- cuse might of course be expected, but 1t Is seriously questioned whether they are anxious to put an end to Villa, or they would have taken advantage of lthe assistance which was furnished by the punitive expedition, which not only meant plenty of munitions but also more men. The mistake of playing with the embargo has, however, been made too often and it should remain now until there Is some sort of a Sta11la rOvarnrOanf

division was opposed by Bavarian di
 visions-good fighting men who had never been severely mauled in any
 previous fighting and whose morale was high. Our trenches were battle
 built and battles -sited, the result of
 the British advance in September 1915.
 The German trenches were those of
 their second line which had held up
 that advance at the end of the battle.
 They had been most carefully and
 tacticly sited and prepared with great
 labor. The wire was very thick and
 strong. Every disadvantage of ground
 and position lay with us. In spite of
 this and of several strong hostile at
 tacks the division never lost a trench.
 Twice only during these six months
 our trenches, on both occasions they
 were driven out with losses.
 '"The division, witnstood on 27th and
 18th April two very severe attacks il
 wlfE.h the enemy used poison gas n it's most concentrated form. On the latter of these two occasions the di- vision suffered heavy casualties b1t Providence was on our side for the wind suddenly changing the gas blew
 back over the German trenches where
 the Bavarians had already massed fer
 attack. Taken by surprise they left
 their front line and ran back across the open under the heavy and well di- rected fire of our artillery. In one battalion or the Bayar1an Infantry Regiment the losses from their own gas and from our fire on that day were stated to be by a deserter over 300 and the diary of g. prisoner of another | battalion captured on the Somme in September states that his regiment all ! so had about 800 gassed cases, large | number of whom died.
 i The division was subjected to sev- eral severe bonbardments during the | months of May and June. It was Of
 send over from 2,oN0 to 5000 5-point-9 l shells in a day. The division carried out many raids, the greater number | of which were successful. A good
 number of Germans killed, some pris- oners taken and considerable damage 1 done to the hostile lines. The main result of these raids was to | increase the moral superiority of our men. From December in the Loos Sector the division had considerable casualties iI officers and men, the re- suit of constant trench warfare.
 During the eleven days which the | division was engaged on the Somme | they shared largely in the capture of Gui11emont and took Ginchy-two strongholds which had def1ed the ef- forts of our troops for some consid-
 erable time-and they repelled several
 counter-attacks of more or less sever l ity. The losses inflicted on the enemy
 in prisoners, killed and wounded, were considerab1e-S00 prisoners being talk 1 en at Guillemont alone. The spirit courage and determination of the men
 and displayed by all ranks during the operations was beyond all prise.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR
The Point of View.

MT. Editor: I notice "A Southerner'' says: Jefferson Davis was not a rebel, and probably he was not to him. Recognizing his great ability and fine personal qualities, he was a rebel to me. George Washington was patriot to Americans, but a true rebel to Eng- 1ishmen. Martin Luther is an apostle to Catholics and is not held in esteem, but as the father of Professionalism he is admired by the remainder of the world. All these men had to violate sacred oaths to Go their great parts in life, and what they are is merely relative and is not worth disputing about.
 As to those people who feel honored to be present and kow-tow to repre- sentatives of a nation that has mur- dered American citiZens-men, women and infants; and conducted a criminal propaganda in a neutral country in which they are citizens or guests, costing the government, which they are constantly defying. millions of dollars to render the protection they must; they are out of order and dis honored in the sight of all loyal citi- zens.

c. w. Barron's Relation to New Haven Advertising.

Advertising.
 MT. Editor: The last campaign slam der put forth just before the electioa was a three column advertisement of fered to newspapers over the country by the national democratic committee.
 It attacked John Wanamaker and c. w. Barron, because these two individ- uals had stepped to the defense of their country and devoted their adver- Using talent to talking straight goods" to the voter.
 They not only gave their time and talents but they paid the bills without assistance from the republican organ ization.
 That these advertisements should have drawn the fire of the Wilson
 Brandeis party was very great com
 pliment. But every paper in New
 York and Boston refused to circulate
 the islander even as paid advertising matter. Some other papers accepted
 the money-perhaps owing to the high
 price of paper.
 MT. Wanamaker answered with a page advertisement, exposing the
 trickery of the national democratic committee and the abuse of govern
 ment-power.
 As these islanders were repeated in the columns of the New York World responded thereto with a letter which was published on the editorial page ot I the moment it fell into the editors hands.
 Will you be good enough to repeat that communication as it appeared ir the World, and also this letter. Every statement of the national democratic committee in it's paid advertisement concerning me was ar absolute fabri- cation, sprung at the last moment tc stem the sentiment for national de- fense created by my full-page adver- tisements in New York c. w. BARRON. i Boston, Nov. 8, 1915.
 To the Editor of the World: The New York World evidently be- iieves in grabbing the advertising 1 agents legitimate commission or properly signed and displayed railroad advertising and then later denouncins the agent as a "slush funder.'' If legitimate New Haven advertising which after full investigation was ap- proved by the Massachusetts public service commission, was part of 6
 "slush fund.-" the New York World l was the real culprit, for it swallowed 1 1t whole even to robbing the agent that created and brought it the business. I Any declaration that have received l money for advice is false. Nor has

OTHER VIEW POINTS

It is especially interesting, too, that Danbury. where it was asserted the matters strike and .he court decision were going to wreck every hope of the Republicans, gave Democratic plurality of only 41 against one in 1914 of 694- There are a lot of queer facts to be brought out by a study of the figures.-Hartford Courant.
 Perhaps the chief feature of the closing session of the board of alder men last evening was the grand scramble to raise wages, with specific activity upon the part of candidates for office, even to the extent of putting in to what was of no concern upon the part of the common council, the salaries of employees in the depart ment of education. But one can hard ly blame the aldermen for such ac- tion. It is one of the marked develop ments of tine times, from federal cir cles down. Anything to win. is the motto in these days. There Is no reason why an alderman should not follow the same plan.--Bridgepor Post.
 The shortage in the crop Is sensa- tional The market is strong, demand keen- Rot complicates the situation. Wise growers already are laying in their seed stocks for next Spring s planting. Importations from Canada possibly may depress prices later, or
 possible advent of peace may 50 change everything as to depress po- tato prices also. Under such highly speculative conditions, many farmers may feel it wise to accept current high prices rather than to hold for the later market. The cost Of storing, rehandling, shrinkage, loss from rot must be taken into account in decid- | ing whether to hold or sell. The new Winter crop, to be grown in the West Indies and our own southern states, may be larger and earlier than usual. New Britain Record.

the inefficient Democratic minority in both cases. But Bridgeport will help them out, and be a brother to them, or sister, if you choose, whenever they have a need for help or wish to &C., complish any desirable local legisla- tion. New Haven is fortunate in hav- ng the secretary of state, even if the city did not especially assist him. MT. Perry is a power wherever he is, and it is some consolation to the city that he got through in good shape, even if it could not help in the result. Bridgeport has it's lieutenant governor still, and with the delegation which 1t will send to the Legislature it will be very much in evidence, and it ought to be.-Bridgeport Standard.
 Those who recall the election dis pute in jS76 realize how present good nature may develop into bitterness. After months of doubt, the votes of the disputed states were laid before the electoral commission, an artificial instrument invented for the occasion, and it decided by a vote of to in each case to give the disputed votes to the Republican candidate, MT. Hayes. The Democrats have always felt that they were wronged in the makeup of the commission, which gave the Republicans the deciding vote. which in every case was divided on partisan lines. If MT. Tilden had been a fight ing man 1t would have been easy to get the country into a war by refus- ing to submit. But by accepting the arbitration of the commission, MT. Til- den felt bound to accept its decision and would not countenance the idea of resistance. The disputed states were Florida, Louisiana, South Caro- lima, and one vote in Oregon. The matter was more complex than any thing likely to arise this year, as it involved questions of fraudulent vot- ing, suppression of the negro vote and the throwing out of ballots. Nothing appears this year but the accuracy of the count and Chairman Wilcox and Chairman Mccormick should be care full of reckless hints at fraud which are sure to stir up wrath.-Waterbury American.

The kids opened their season Mon
day with mammoth struggle between
tie Prince Street Sluggers and the
East Americas Champs at Dudley Field
and certainly it was battle of the i'm
mortals For nine innings these young
opponents of the game who are allow
il g Ty Cobb to become president of
many banks, threw epithets at his
jumps, and cracwed the horsehide all
in Aunt Mollie's back yard next to the
park Monday. And they certainly
knew how to do both things.
The boys from East Americas smear
c. it all over their opponents of Prince
lstreet and the score, 5 to /, tells the
tale of manly fight. Pantone, the
southpaw twirler from the district out
by the cemetery, had everything at
his disposal, and ten of the sluggers
from Prince way fell victims to his
might.
Slade, the pitcher for the Sluggers,
slowed lot of stuff, but his teammates
were unable to connect when hits
meant runs. The only feature of the
contest was when Bolton of the Slug
gers cracked a three-base clout to
deep center. Monahan, catcher for
the East Americas lads, played a very
good game, although his batting was
way OFF

Interesting Sport Items
GatheredHere and There

The race for honors in all leagues
is waxing warm.
The most surprising development of
the past week was the showing made
by the Nashville club of the Southern
League, followed closely By the team
battling for New Orleans.
Nashville was considered during the
preliminary practices to have the
weakest team in the circuit, but since
tie opening of the season they have
held mid-season form, and are playing
the best ball in the Southern associa-
ton Aside from the fact that their
pitching staff is rather weak, this team
should keep right up in the running.
The Pelicans are creating no sur
prise over their showing. Before the
opening they were conceded to be a
strong aggregation and their record of
seven wins and two defeats is not at all
surprising.
Atlanta with Charley Frank guiding
the club is away off form, but after a
bit of time this superb lot of ball
tossers should develop into pennant
Cuntenders.

Of this sum will be realized from the
