BOLSTER UP THE WEAK SPOTS.

BOLSTER UP THE WEAK SPOTS.
 Almost from the start of the pres ent war this country has had it plain iy pointed out that it is none too well prepared to handle and punish those who make a determined stand to Rio- late the neutrality of this country. There has been a steady disclosure of the unfortunate position in which this country has been placed. It has found itself in many Instances in humiliating predicament because of the lack of laws, so that when Attor- ney General Gregory proposes that there be IS amendments made to ex- isting federal laws for the purpose of covering the weak points which have been disclosed it ought not to require much more than a second sober thought to realize that the action re- auested is only such as ought to be taken.
 None Is in a better position to nppre- ciate the helplessness of this country under such circumstances than the at torney general. He has been obliged to deal with these matters for months and to search in vain for laws under which those who have deliberately taken ad- vantage of this country's position could be properly punished He has been shown the handicaps which exist and his purpose is to prevent them in the future and for the inter- ests of the country some action should be taken.
 It is time to have it realized that the affairs of this nation are to bt directed in this country and not bS some other nation. It is. time to show that belligerent nations cannot inter. fere with our industrial activities, ant particularly when they are being con. ducted under The provisions of inter. national law. It is proper that there should be laws which win place . heavy penalty upon the threatening ot exporters. It is surprising that con. gress has not taken steps to provide this legislation before this, but tn, recommendations of the attorney gen, eral as now made should nevertheless get respectful and weighty considera, tion now.

rtgE loes or KITCHENER.

That the loss of Earl Kitchener, British minister of war, and his en- tire stan made profound impression Throughout England as soon aa the news became known was to have been expected. It might well be looked up- on as a disaster but for the fact that this great leader ia not the only one the nation pcaseBmem who can caxrg on the important work of tIis od4ce.
 KftchenarsR loss ts nevertheless a severe one, however le may have heen brought about. He has been one of the great leaders not only 1n thSs but in other wars. and as an organizer he was looked upon as Great Brifain's greatest. When the war broke out he was at once looked 10 to handle the tremendous task of getting the army in condition to take care of the de- mands that would ba made upon it and in addition there devolved upon him the equally stupendous lob of or ganizing the ntunftion and equip ment supplies. It was soon apparent that 1t was more than one man could or should direct and he waa relieved of certain of his responsibilities but he had to his credit the transforma- tion of his nation to a strong mill tary power with an army of over three million men i'm or ready for ser- vice. This was no easy accomplish ment under conditions which have prevailed. and the opposition which he was required to overcome at home. Whether another could have done as much Is question There have been clamors for his removal but they were based upon poor judgment and he continued to do his duty and died in harness.
 England cannot help being shocked. Its loss can be appreciated even by the enemy but the work has a good foundation and must go on. Another will step into his shoes but the ser vice which Kitchener has rendered to his country will never be forgotten.

HENRY's GOOD TIME

 The day of the party dawned calm and assured and the velvet suit and
 silk hose and shiny pumps were laid out in all their horrid glory on Henry's bed before luncheon time, to torment hiEn with their promise. Flowers ar
 rived, chairs from the caterers ar
 rived, pasteboard boxes of pastries came, which aroused in his breast only a faint interest. He knew per-
 fectly well that there would be none left over to i'll up on afterward
 There was bath, with special at tenfion to ears and hands and soap in his eyes and ridiculous hair bruSh- ing. And then the new suit! Gazing
 at himself above the admirdng chorus of his mother and his aunt. Henry
 never hated anything as he did the
 vision that greeted him. It was the crowning ignorniny Of the day. And then his mother had the unparalled cruelty to tell him to be careful of 1t and not spill anything! Henry would have liked to subzmerge the entire out
 fit in a lake of permanently stickable mud.
 Girls came, dozens of wretched little girls in curls and fluffy lace frocks and ribbons, and he was compelled to | SltakS 1a4QS W1En InOIus 1tl6 S1Rf1E or l his fellow men attired Ikie himself and l indignantly miserable like himself was a faint comfort. Everybody squifmed

 There was a rush and a clang out l side, and Hubby, near the window

 Like the sweep of spring freshet every boy in the room joined the rust 1 to the door. Henry's distracted motth- re saw them scatter and vanish as au- tunn leaves, deaf to her calls. Sht was alone with the scandalized little girls to make the best of it. I HenryS father, coming home early arrived at the same time as Henry and Hubby. Speechless, he surveyed 4 his son.

TENT cArERpfLLARs.

Wherever there is evidence that the tent caterpillars are camped either in large or small numbers there exists an opportunity for effective service to be rendered in stamping out this pest. Past efforts have done much to re. duce the number of such devastators in certain sections but a trip into the country in most any direction, though some as a rule are more neglected than others, will show that while pre- vontige work has done much, there are stiil enough of the caterpilIars that escaped it to cause Q great amount of destruction to foliage and therefore to crops.
 There needs to be waged just aa strong a campaign against the cater nAllar as ever. The recommendation has been made that the wild cherry trees be cut down that this choice food may be denied the tenters. but that does not mean that they will ntarve 10 death by any means. Il simply forces them to feed on the frult trees where they are disposed tc go in too great numbers already.
 At this stage the most effective way Is t6 destroy the nests while the cater. pillars are in them If by burnina them while attached to the tree thert is danger of doing harm 10 the tret th0Ha whichqcan be reacheds @hnnld bt removed by the use of an oldf glovs and crushed or burned or it 10 pos. rlble to dispose of them in the or. ehnrds by spraying.

Something must be done if the closing event of Yale's year, now only eighteen days hence, Is to bring satis- faction to Yale and New Haven. Coach Guy Nickalls dodges no responsibility. He says it is his fault. But not all. He had some confidence in the crews when they went to their test at Ithaca. They did not commend that coHh- dence. Now he talks plainly to them, telling them in unqualified terms that they must pull themselves together before week after next, or the sad old story of many former years is to be repeated at New London.

 Rockville seems to be getting it's share of auto accidents, and it is due time that something should be done to help prevent them. The last facci- dent did not happen on Silrs corner, but that matters not. For it happened just the same. Not until a few of these wild drivers are made an ex- ample of, will much be accomplished to prevent these accidents. At the corner of Park place and Park street it is a rare occasion when an autoist blows his born to signify his approach Vehicles, pedestrians and other auto ists are at their mercy, and it is the duty of the police to take their num- Der, make complaint, and give them a fine if they do not abide by the law, and it is more than evident that after few have been arrested this reckless driving will stop. It is pleasure to ride in a machine if properly driven by one who uses care and caution. But there are so many today, who do not drive tIle machine for pleasure but just drill it along to see how many miles they can cover in as short a time as possible. These are the ones that cause most of the accidents. And why not make these law breaking peo- pie pay well for their carelessness. = Rockville Journal.

Tue question of the establishment at the state reformatory in Cheshire of a trades school is not debatalble. If that institution is to do the work that is required of it, it must teach trades: that is to say, it must begin at once to employ it's inmates in some useful form of labor which will not only !neulcate in the young offenders of love of useful labor but as well a knowledge of useful labor. The re- formatoFy is an educational institu- ton. It seeks to correct errors of judgment and willful temperaments of the first offenders.-New Haven Jour nal-Courier.
