The senate has passed the so-called farm loans bill to establish rural cred it's, and as the house has favorable report on another similar one it looks as though this session would see the matter on the statute books. Confess edly the subject is involved and this effort is an experimental one. Here in the east where banks are numerous and credit extended as far as possible, it is difficult to appreciate the demands which come from ections where bank ing facilities are limited and burden some conditions exacted by money lenders. Nevertheless the Morris banks have proven extremely useful and help full, even in Connecticut, and do meet the needs of many poor people who without them would often be imposed upon and f1eected by loan sharks It is entirey possible that the farm loans enterprise may prove equally bene- f1cial-Bristol Press.

(vVritten Specially for The BuIletin.)
 In the magazine department of a metropolitan Sunday newspaper the other day I noticed an inquiry about some poem of Lydia Huntlay Sigour- ney. and pondering on the world flame of that genius, whose girlhood home was the present Gilmon residence on North Washington street, I said to my self: Surely she was the most distin- guished woman that Norwich ever pro- 1uced!"
 Later tEouhgt of Madam Knight, and the literary value of her famous Journey on Horseback, reprinted sev- eral years ago by the Norwich Free Academy press. That famous New Woman conferred honor on Norwich, although not a native of the town; but a. little further reflection led me to de- eide These and other women have done much for the old town; but the woman who should have been honored along with the Benefactors of Norwich a few years ago was the one whose real service increases with each new year Frances Manwaring Caulkins whose History of Norwich is one of the most remarkable volumes of it's kind"
 It is painful to have to admit that this gifted woman who has done so much for this town was not actually born herei Sad though the admission is, it must be stated in cold type that she was a native of New London; but probably this was more her mis- fortune than her fault, consequently we must hold her blameless for emit ting to confer all her fame on Norwich by first seeing light here!
 No wthat the painful truth is out, Frances M. Caull1ins was the daughter of T0Shi1a and Fanny ManVya rinfr C9YJ1- kins, and was born April Both, 1T95. She went back to New London to die therefor this fact we might possibly hold her excusab1e-the date being Feb. Sd. 1869. During her seventy four years she performed work which grows 1 in value with each generation. Her ancestor, Hugh Calkin, as the name was earlier spelled, had come from the Old World with Rev. Richard 1 Blinman, a non -conformist miniter o1 i Chepstow, England, who is supposed tc have arrived at Plymouth in the au- tumn of 1640. Later this "Welch Par | ty," as it was called, moved to Glou' cester, Mass, finally coming to New
 London. Hugh Calkin jointed a Say. brook party who had associated them
 selves for the purchase and settlement i of Norwich, taking a prominent part il

The next infraction by German force of the rights of Americans on the high seas must automatically sever dfplo- matic relations between Germany and the United States. That is the way the American people understand the situation. That is the only course possible. Germany should understand clearly that the next over act on the part of its submarines will not re- open an issue; it will create a crisis.

THE DEApL ocKED CONFERENCE,

THE DEADLoc CONFERENCE.
 The result of the border conference between the representatives of this country and Mexico leaves matters just where they were before it was opened. There has been an airing of the views taken by each side, and the menace from Mexican bandits has been emphasized since the conference opened. but there has been no agree ment reached regarding future opera tions either by this country alone or in cooperation with Carranza's forces.
 What 1t will eventually accomplish is another matter. General Obregon, Carranza's representative, has been given to understand that this country does not intend to withdraw its troops from Mexican soil until there has been an end put to Villa and his kind, or until it has been thoroughly demon strated that Carranza not only pos sesses the disposition but the power to give protection along the border He has boasted long enough of what he could and would do but he has not carried out his promises. He has even failed to recognize his own weak ness in this respect, and take advan- tage of the assistance which has been offered by this country to hunt down a common enemy.
 Carranza wants the punitive expe- dition under General Pershing recall ed. He fails, however, to take into consideration the fact that but for his failure to properly handle his ! own affairs and to hold in check the bandit chieftain, there would now be no United States troops south of the Qin served to let Mexico know more clear ly the attitude of this country. There has been a determined effort to avoid intervention and the hope prevails that it will still be prevented, and this is encouraged by the fact that the participants in the conference have agreed that the friendly rela- tions of the governments have not l been disturbed

What we have said ip regard to severity in punishing the detected carriers of concealed weapons, is strikingly borne out by the tragedy of Saturday night. Had the victim in that case not been toting a. pistol he would never have thought of trying to murder the policeman. And if he had not tried to murder the officer he would not have been himself shot down in justihable self-defense. The fewer weapons there are in the pos session of hot headed aliens and citi- zens the fewer lives will be sacrificed yearly. We need to send every man who violates this beneficial law against weapon carrying to jail for a long term. It is the only way to cure the evil. which is deep seated. Am sonia Sentinel.

Sound ground for protest on the bart of this country to Great Britain exists when 1t IS pointed out by For mer President Taft, chairman Of the central committee of the American Red Cross, in a communication to the state department, that that country has excluded American supplies for the relief of the sick and wounded of the central powers.
 Red Cross work is carried on on strictly neutral basis. According to understandings between nations such supplies as 1t handles are entitled to be passed by all nations involved in, war. It may be that the central pow- CTS are not in a position to offer se- rious opposition to Red Cross work by the blocking of such supplies, but whether they are or not, there has been no evidence of it and with few ex- captions relief supplies destined to the nations at war have been for warded without molestation.
 It is difficult to believe that Great Britain, conscious as 1t must be of the great service which is not only rendered by this agency but of the vast amount of help that is always required in such Humanitarian work, can present a justified reason for holding up such supplies even if they are destined to the enemy. It must be realized that the sick and wounded among their men taken prisoners must be properly cared for, but even if there were none such it would only be right that the sufferings of all should be allowed the relief that oth- CTS are willing and anxious to send to them.
 Unless there is a mistake about the action of Great Britain it has taken ar attitude which would hardly be expected even of Turkey, and if as claimed, it is not respecting the Gen. eva convention, to which it agreed, the protest should surely be made and in all fairness it should result in a change of the British policy.

Amelia Barr in one of her excellent books depIores the Anglo Saxon depar- ture from the use of kinsman and l1inship and substituting therefor rel ations.'' as meaningless a word as could possibly be adopted to cover blood relationship. She notes how cold we seem in our affections com pared with the Irish who greet a third cousin with smile, and the Scotch man who can hail a seventh cousin with an enthusiasm which surprises us. And we recall that not long ago she nobility of Russia were mourning the thirty second cousin of Tsar. Where the old kinship has not perished from the heart the family tree spreads like an oak with thousand branches; but where it is absent the family trees are dwarfed. What covers a great family better than "klth and kin," or sounds more hearty?

To make things go smoother in life every one has his share of side-step- ping and soft-pedaling to do, even when every one is careful to observe the rules of the road and correctly turn to the right and the left. The little misunderstanding of life are as common along the way as nettles and wild missiles on lean soil. We must consider the eccentricities and 'sensi- tiVeness of others to get our full share of comfort and to assure to them theirs

 The habit of ioIIying one's self out of a state of iIl-humor is better habit than some of the habits of prayer, for it is 8 -rewarding ef- ~fort. It is great to be able to keep ones moods right, and a great many bright people will tell you it cannot be done. but ie can be. The man who discovered every cloud has a silver lining" sounded a death knell to moods which harrasS us. We may create our own moods, or they may be created for us, but we are not obliged to accept any mood calculated to add to the dis tress of life. We needn't worry, fret or fear one-half we do. These errors of mortal mind are wholly within our control. We can decline to sit in gloom, and we may kick out of our temple the thoughts of Encouragement. We have power and we may use it for our own injury or our own well-being.
 You don't feel we'll! Half the peo- pie in the world do not feel we'll when they first wake up in the morning. Feeling is so transitory that they get a move on and forget it. Most people do not breathe deep enough, step quick enough and keep cheerful enough to actually feel full of life and fire. It is. force of habit which makes all the difference in the world with all of us. The habit of thinking we are not all right is depressing and injurious. It is up to us if we do not feel well to at once seek the cause of our dis comfort. We may be engaged in nurs- 1 ing a grievance or a disappointment which never engenders a wholesome feeling. To feel well we must feel free! To keep well we should never venture to transgress the laws of our being. Nothing can promote disease like an imagination inspired by fear.

The fact that Billy Sunday is worth the price paid is evidenced by the way he is booked ahead and the monclnal- lance with which he cancels engage ments. The evangelist is compelling only because he is in popular dercand. His services are wanted and there are no others just as good. His work can not be duplicated.

Auction bridge and progressive whist are modern, but the game of cards is almost as old as sin, and some people think it g. game for sinners in stead of gentle ladies; but cards have survived all opposition and were never more popular than today. The oldest pack of cards in the world came from India and are 1900 years old with fig ures upon them the East Indians themJ selves cannot explain. When first in vented in their present form no women were thought to be needed in the pack, but when women were added they were tress and the picture of Joan d'Arc. The gypsies first used them for fortune telling 300 years ago.

THE MAN WHO TALKS


 It is a truism that "all religions act upon the heart, and, more or less, upon the pocketbook. There are plenty of professedly pious people whose hearts are not troubled by religion, and who depend upon the poeketbook to place them right before the Lord. As a matter of fact heart and pocket book are both necessary to promote piety and good work. But the sum total of our thoughts has more to do with religion than the sum total, of our dollars. The vital relation of our thoughts to our religion is not as clear to the average mind as 1t should be. Too much religion is like canned goods, too largely dependant upon the style of the label. The religion that isn't found in the transactions of every day is not of the star quality. It is a. truth that religion has never had and can never have good counterfeit.
 We are all warned against the germ laden kiss-the menace of it to health; and yet in the city of Saragosso, Spain, the people of all classes and conditions of life have for over two centuries been daily kissing the pedestal on which stands a venerated statue of Mary the mother of Jesus, who at that very spot appeared and had a. conver- sation with St. James; and 8 cup shaped hollow has been worn in the WOOd Dy CneSe uSnI up- -loucneS or lHS devout This pillar is always moist with the salival mist of kisses, and doubtless kisses half century old may be gathered here any day; but there is no record of disease estab- l!shed for this kissing post in use now 200 years by all classes of devout people. The germ theory cannot live in the presence of a devotional pillar like this. We ought to find disease rampant in Saragosso, but 1t is not known as an unhealthy city.

SALONIKA, Sept. 25.-Heavy fight ing is in progress, according to official announcement, in the valleys of the rivers Vardar and Struma and along the entire eastern front on the borders of Bulgaria and Serbia.
 The artillery fire of the allies has set fire to Dorian in several sections and the entire city seems doomed.
 The.present activity in this region is taken by experts to mean an at tempt on the part of the British and French to compel the Teutonic allies to release their pressure on the Do brudga. Transylvania, and Carpath- ian fronts.
 Advantages have already been gain ed in Serbia and Bulgaria which are being followed up without delay. Fighting still continues on long front.
