In.an additional note, Germany ad- nits that one of it's submarines was responsible for the torpedoing of the Sussex. It likewise admits, at the same time, that the evidence presented by this country to show that it was 8 German underwater boat which was responsible for the disaster is such as to leave no doubt, and that it was largely upon that that it's final de- cision was based. That can leave no question in the German mind that this country has been acting impar- tially, that it has not been jumping at unwarranted conclusions and that 1t has been sincere in it's attitude, when it has demanded that Germany respect international law and the promises which it has made.
 Now Germany in acknowledging it's guilt, and in it's disavowal of the act, promises to make reparation for the 'error," announcing at the same time that it has appropriately punished the submarine commander who was re- sponsible for the act. What this pun shment was it does not say. It may mean few marks of demerit. It. may mean a slight punishment or 1t may be appropriate. as it says. but only German officials are allowed to judge that question. Yet at the same time lt depends entirely upon what wal tone to the commander. who was SC careless in his observations that he mistook a regular channel steamer Tor a British transport, and without making sure that he was right pro- seeded to do his best to sink 1t, tC prevent future acts of that kind.
 If the idea, still prevails in the sub marine branch of the navy that any hing that is done for the kaiser Ii right, and Germany upholds it by ths inadequate punishment of those wht lead 1t into international entangIe- neuta. there is little reason to belieTs

MERCHANTS WEEK.

Once again the merchants of Nor wich are cooperating in an effort to put before the people of this part of the state the value to them of this city as a shopping center. It has met with excellent results in the past and it win again, for with unity of action there are bound to be Accomplishments.
 For the purpose of giving an in- petus to the plan of holding special week of trading opportunities, the committee has arranged for num- ber of interesting attractions outside of those which are always to be found in the stores, and these with the ad- vantages which always prevail in a business way on such occasions, can not fail to make a widespread appeal to the people who are within a trad- ing distance of this city.
 Merchants week should mean more than it has before, because both the merchant and the shopper have got- fen deeper into the spirit of it and as previous occasions have demonstrated tt is a period of much importance to all concerned.
 Norwich is the logical trading cen- ter of this end of Connecticut. The stores are anxious to meet the wants of the purchasing public They offer greater inducements, as good if not better service, as great a variety of goods to suit all classes as do those of larger cities, and there is the addi- tional fact that they cannot afford to offer any misleading bargains or to take advantage Of the trade that they know or that they are endeavoring to build up.
 These annual affairs must be viewed an occasions for the traders to gel better acquainted with Norwich busf- ness houses. and vice versa, and the greater the advantage taken of them the greater will be the response on the part of the merchants in catering to the wants. From the 18th to the goth Norwich should be the objective point of those who not only know the advantage of trading here, but those who desire to have it demonstrated tc them

aET ouT To THE cAucua.

Even though contest may not be expected, the republicans of Norwich should turn out fn large numbers at tie caucus tonight for the selection of those who will be the party's candi- dates for city of1ces at next months election. This is matter in which all members should show an active interest. The picking of the men. who. if elected. and everything points to a republican year, will be entrusted with the administration of city affairs for the next year and some of them for the next two years. ought not to be left to a few. Every republican who has the welfare Of his city at heart should be there to lend his en- thusiastic support to the business at hand, to the placing before the peo- pie of a list of candidates who will inspire confidence and gain the sup port Of the voters irrespective of par foundation is thereby laid for success at the polls in June.
 When it comes to administering city affairs the best man obtainable should be placed in office. It is important that there should be able, conscien- tious and interested citizens from whom can be expected an efficient and economical conduct of the municipal ity's business, and the time and place .to see that the right start is made is at the party caucus. Neglect of such duty does not warrant the fault finding which oftentimes follows eau GUS action, for such compliments are usually those who have dedged their responsibility and left what they should have done themselves to the judgment and action of others.
 The campaign for the city election, which must of necessity be short, should be started right. for with an active and enthusiastic participation and well balanced ticket there can be no question of the result in June.

with retirement from public Iife.- Rockville Journal.

Syndicates of real estate purchasers are reporte as buying dwellings at high prices, for the purpose of raising rents. Some rent raising is justified by the increased cost of living, and by the de- mands of an extravagant city goyern- ment. Anything beyond this is unnec- essary and unwise. In the long run flation of building. When a time ar rives that the eight hours, three shifts a day is abandoned, there may be a surplusage and rents will sink to a point as low as they are high. Hous- ing is difficult in Bridgeport just now But the scarcity should not be made the basis of an extortion. Bridgeport have studie dthe art of taking all the traffic will bear.-Bridgepo Farmer.
 Being evergreen and consequently ever noticeable and ever attractive, the laurel suffers almost constant dew astation.

And now adays, with the growth of the walking and the motorcycle and the motor hab- it. great many more people than for mery get where they are moved to take

COAL PR1cEs.

When it comes to a change in the price of coal everybody is interested, and for that reason the boost which is now promised by the operators, in order to take care of the increased wages. which they have agreed to pay the miners, naturally stfrs up the public mind. When it was announced that the possibility of a strike in the anthracite region had been avoided by granting the miners the increase sought, it was apparent that the money to meet that advance must come out of the pockets of the con- sumers. That is as it has always been in the past and there was no reason to expect anything different at this time
 Whether such an increase should all come out of the ultimate consumer gets little consideration. The opera tors do not intend to cut down. their profits and dividends, regardless of how large they may be,in order to share this new expense with the little fellows, but on the other hand the practice has been to see that the in creased charge for coal at wholesale was more than enough to meet the new payroll.
 In this connection 1t is noted with interest that Attorney General Greg ory has suggested that the Fedora, Trade commission make an investi- gation into the operations and ac- counts of the great producing com panies for the purpose of ascertaining all the facts upon which such an in- crease in price. as is predicted vii be made, may be based, including the relation between any increase in the cost of production due to advance oi wages and the increase of profit. caused by the increase in price.
 Even if it is just for the consumer to meet the wage advance by an ad. dition to coal prices. that extra cos ought not to be larger than the in, crease in the wage scale, and the yer, fact thar it has been in the past i. reason enough to see that it is no done heneeforth.
