IMPROPER COUNT rs
REPUBLICAN CLAIM

Secretary w. C. Gregory of the Re
publican state committee stated thi
morning that sufficient reports haC
been received at headquarters as Il
improper counting of the vote on gov.
recount would be demanded in al
counties where that condition obtained
Mr.. Gregory said:
I'VE believe there were enough
votes for Mr.. Davis under those
votes for Mr.. Davis improperly
credited to elect him.
IF necessary, in case present
reports shall be verified we will
carry our contention to the high
est court of the state.
I'VE do not claim there has
been any intentional fraud but
that precinct judges have misin-
terpreted the law.
ANY action we may take will
be based on the count and not on
any claim of fraud in the swear
ing in of votes. Everyone is en-
titled to vote If he or she can
qualify and we assume that no
citizen would jeopardize himeslf
by swearing falsely. The pro-
vision under which voters not
registered may swear in their
votes may or may not be wise,
but it Is the only present protec-
ton for voters who may have
been careless or whose residence
may have been changed after the
registration lists were closed"

AFTER THE WAR.

Not a little interest is attached to the statement which has been recent ly made that the debt of Great Brit ain at the present time runs up to the large sum of S132OO OC0 00G That has been brought about of course by the tremendous eXpenditures which have been made necessary to carry on the present war and the end is not yet. This is four times as much as it was two years ago and that of course rep resents the burden which has been placed upon but one of the countries in dollars and cents. The position of the other nations involved is similar while their losses in men and property will run to even greater amounts than that suffered by the British empire.
 Other nations were staggering under a much greater financial burden when the war broke out than Great Britain was. The struggle for victory has forced them to sacrifices which were previously unheard of and the effect of this is going to be felt for many generations.
 These great debts are going to call fer even as great economic struggles after the war as are being made at the present time. Each and every. one will be doing it's utmost to regain it's former business activity. if not to in- crease it. but here again the strug- gle will encounter unprecedented ob- stacles from the millions of young men who have either been killed or made cripples for life. No one can possi- ply envy Europe its troubles in the solution of the problems which it faces even after peace is declared.

first learn respect for leadership and the value of courage, honor and pluck. It is on the playground that the first lessons of democracy are taught. In those games in which the individual contests for his school among his mates he acquires standards which are the best possible training for future citizenship. Parents who turn their children out to play without interest or knowledge of what diversions they seek are neglecting their duty and missing an opportunity to turn nat ural instinct to the greatest advan- tage. Through this channel it is pos sible to cultivate to a high degree those qualities of imagination and character which will prove of inesti- mabIe advantage to the growing boy and girl"
 This has been recognized to a large extent by the support which has been given to the playground movement throughout the country. It is grow ing each year and it is to the credit of every community which has estab- lished playgrounds that it appreciates the benefits which are being given to the future citizens.

COMPULSORY ARBITRATION.

Every controversy which takes place between labor and capital, and every strike which follows such dis putes furnish added reasons for the adoption of legislation which will make arbitration compulsory. This is particularly true when the public is involved as it is when public utilities are concerned and when a strike means the shutting off of necessities of life.
 This is disclosed by the recent strike of drivers of milk wagons in the city of Cleveland which means that 300,000 people were deprived of that part of their daily food supply, the importance of which must be recognized in the case of small children. The backing up of their demands by their refusal to see that the wants of the public are supplied can win no sympathy. It Is a high handed and unjustified method of inficting injury upon the innocent in order to bring their employers to terms, for the people suffer far more than those against whom the strike is actually directed.
 For the railroad brotherhoods to de- clare a strike at the present time would work even a greater hardship upon the entire country and in a still greater manner for it would be not solely the milk supply but all the necessities of life which would be blocked The thought of such a thing is enough to suggest the need of ar bitration that such a calamity may be avoided. Compulsory arbitration would put an end to strikes and it is time that reason rather than force should be used in the settlement of such differences.

boat crew to clear away his galley. At the same time the captain was calling to Kitchener to come to his boat. Ow- ing to the noise made by the wind and sea Lord Kitchener could not hear him.
 When the explosion occurred Lord Kitchener walked calmly from the cap- tain's cabin ard went up a ladder on the quarterback. There I saw him walking about quite colIectedly and talking to two officers. All three were wearing khaki and had on no over coats. Lord Kitchener was calmly watching the preparations for abandon ing the ship, which were going on in a steady and orderly way.
 "The crew just went to their sta tions, obeyed orders and did their best to get out the boats, but that was inn possible. Owing to the rough weather no boats could be lowered. Those that were got out were smashed No boats left the ship. What the people on shore thought to be boats leaving were rafts.
 The men did get into the boats as they lay in their cradles, thinking as the ship went under them the boats would float. But the ship sank by the head, and when she went under she turned Q sOmersault forward, carrying down with her all boats and persons in them.
 q do not think Earl Kitchener got into boat. When I sprang to a raft he was still on the starboard side of the quarterback talking with his off, ce1is. From the little time that elapsed between my leaving the ship and her sinking l feel certain that Earl Kitch- ener was on deck at the time she sank
 T got away on one of the rafts, and we had a terrific five hours in the wa ter It was so rough that the seas beat down on 1ls, and many of the men were killed by the buffeting. Many others died from the piercing cold.
 An overpowering desire for sleep came down upon us. To keep this away we thuTnped each other on the back. The man who went to sleep never woke again. When men died it was just as though they were falling asleep. One man stood upright for five hours on the raft, with dead lying all around him and one man died in my arms
 As we neared the shore the situa- tion grew worse. The fury of the sea dashed our raft against the rocks with tremendous force. A number of men were killed in this way. I don't quite know how l got ashore, for all feeling had gone out of me.
 My belief is that the Hampshire struck mine, which exploded under her fOrepart. It could not have been Q submarine in such weather, and an internal explosion in one of her maga- zines would have ripped her apart It was hard luck coming to such an end, after going through the battle of J1t- land unscathed. We led the Iron Duke into that action and sank a German light cruiser and two submarines but did not have a single casualty our selves, although big shells rained into the water all around us"

PRESIDENT ELLIoTT's REPORT

PRESIDENT EELlOTT'S REPORT
 There cannot help being interest in the report which has just been sub mitted to the directors of the New Ha- ven road by President Elliott when it shows that during the past fiscal year $6,14O,180 of it's floating debt has been paid off and the sum of $4,352,- 333 spent for improvements and equip ment out of the earnings representing in all about six per cent. on the out standing capital stock.
 This is of course gratifying out come of the efforts which are being made by the present management for the rehabilitation of the system, but it is evident that the road is not pro- ducing any more of the necessary funds which are required for the i'm proVement of it's motive power, the in crease of its terminal facilities and the cutting down of it's floating debt than it can wisely use. This can be appreciated when it is understood that the roads floating debt is $45,000, GOO and according to President Elliott from $3G,0OO,OOO to S5O,000,OOO is a low estimate of what will be required of the New Haven road to turn out a first class article of transportation in New England territory.
 Thus while the road is earning prac- tically six per cent. on it's capital stock it is yet some distance from the declaration of dividends but there Is the satisfaction of knowing that it is being administered on the lines of economy and efficiency and that it's funds are not being allowed to van ish into thin air. The competency of the present administration of the svs- tenn cannot be questioned, however. for it is headed in the direction which is bound to produce results.

THE VALUE OF PLAY.

Play and recreation are necessary for every individual. This applies to the elders as well as the young. There IS time for work, there Is time for rest and there is time for pleasure and it is the proper adjustment of these three things which makes the ideal combination.
 Play needs as much attention as some other things in the education of the child and full appreciation can be given to the declaration of Dr. Samuel G. Dixon, commissioner of health ot Pennsylvania, when he says, Tt is not in school but in play that s children

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR
Mr. Wood vs. England.

MT. Editor: Allow me a brief space to answer the remarkable efGusiOn of MT. Wood.
 Barking at the press of America and biting at the policy of England may suit the AnglophOpe, but will not ad- vance the cause which your CorrespOn- dent has not the courage to avouch As far as the press of America is con cerned, we Englishmen ask no favors nor desire sympathy. The press of America is as far above the criticism or MT. Wood as it is to subserviency to the allied cause. But your corre- spondent catechises you upon the right Of personal opinion. Well, Englishmen exercise that prerOgative patiently There are more things in heaven and earth than are dreamt of" in the philosophy of MT. Wood and recrim- nation does not necessarily imply ar- gument. Your correspondent is so blinded by intolerance that the vision of England has darkened the truer aspect of the great war.
 But, as to Englands conduct, I chaI- lenge MT. Wood to produce a single instance in which that country has trGduced the usages of honorable war fare. Memories live and will not fade. Englishmen do not shoot women, nor do they assassinate prisoners. The names of Miss Covell and Captain Fryatt will be held in reverence as be- longing to those who fought their fight fairly.
 zeppelins may kill and destroy, but, thank God, English civilization has failed to respond to German kultur in that respect. As to the rats in the hole," well. MT Wood they are still there, and their last venture does not predict predominance for that great German fleet.
 With reference to the Boer war and Magersmontein. MT. Wood might ask General Botha, and the kaiser might also enlighten him as to EngIand's share in this great catastrophe. With out being presumptuous, venture to think that German kuItur" will be fully tested to provide digestive powers for the next Christmas dinner of the kaiser.

WELCOME TO ROGUE EXPERTS.
 With the opening of the annual tournament of the National Roque as sociation here this week, Norwich again extends Q welcome to the score or more of experts who handle the mal- let and balls and to the many others who are attracted to the city by their interest in the game and the players.
 Norwich has long been identified with the contest for the national championship at roqua, the scientific game which combines many of the feutults of croq Jet a~I bj;Iards. The tournament 7-s brought each year an excellent class of visitors tC the city They are people to whom any city should be proud to extend a cordial welcome and wish that their stay might be longer or their visits more frequent.
 It was only a few years ago that there was serious talk of holding the tourney elsewhere but the local club, civic organizations and citizens re- sponded to the situation in a manner which resulted in the modernizing of the grounds until they are today the equal of any in the country. That was supposed to have made the tour nament a fixture, but the sale of the property again raises the question as to what is going to be done to retain this championship contest here. Other cities are clamoring for it even as they have done in the past.
 Norwich nevertheless wants 1t and 1t is known that the roque players themselves are delighted with the lo- cation and are desirOus that some ar engagement can be made whereby no change will be made, bu1 interest in the game is spreading and if this na- tiOnal gathering is to be held here each year, the local club and the city should not be lax in their efforts to make it certain.

in the course Of court action in such cases. It is understood there will not be any deviation from the judicious principle of jail terms for those who persist. with full knowledge of the frown upon the practice and sternly punish offenders deserve the thanks of any community and those, which do not, do not. IL is extremely important in such cities as those of the associ- ated communities with their large foreign population that this practice be checked as much as possible. There have been many deaths in the past few years in this section, which would not have occurred had there been some effectual deterrent, which would have deprived men, crazed by passion, Of deadly weapons during their frenzy. The less we have of the knife and re- volver in these communities the better. -Ansonia Sentinel.
