An OuTra na.

Mr.. Editor: According to Mr.. Wilbur
S. Alling's Interpretation OF outrages
it is more of an offense for the court
of common council to pass and en-
force a, wholesome law than it is to
openly and defantly violate the Law.
The outrages at present are not
against the automobilists but against
the people. The law with reference to
the stationary trolley car and the dis
embarking passengers is constantly
being violated, and as q trolley car
conductor remarked: The AUTOMOBILE
lists don't pretend to mind that law"
Since but one in forty of the citi-
zens own an automobile, and perhaps
five in 20 ride in them, there are still
seven times as many people walking
as riding, hence the people on foot
represent the bulk of the trade and
while the streets are made extra haz-
ardous for them. trade is being worse
interfered with than it can possibly
be by any traffic regulating law the
city farthers can pass.
1t is up to the merchants to attract
trade by their bargains, not to the city
fathers by giving to automobilists
license in excess of the rights of car
riages in general.
The city fathers are all right.
BILL
Norwich, Sept. 5, 1916.
Norwich bulletin., 1916-09-06
INDUSTRIAL PREPAREDNESS.

Senator Underwood continues to
voice his opposition to the protective
tariff which is proposed for dyestuffs
as contained in the revenue bill. Re-
gardless of the interests of the coun-
try which at least need to be taken
into consideration in dealing with this
proposal, the southern senator stands
Uralterably opposed to the encourage
ment Of American industry and the
making of this country independent
of foreign producers in this direction
because it savors of the republican
policy Of protection.
That he will fail in his endeavor to
have this stricken from the bill is
highly probable and it certainly ought
to, for as Mr.. Hughes and Col. Roose-
welt have both pointed out industrial
and commercial preparedness is just
IS vital to the national security as are
the building Of warships and training
Of soldiers. The country has gone
through an experience in regard to
dyestGffs which it does not care to
have repeated. It understands that
the sound and sensible method of pre-
venting it lies in the DEVELOPMENT of
that business right here in this coun-
try where there is plenty of raw ma
terial, scientific ability and capital to
accomplish what is desired
Every move which is made by Sena-
tor Underwood in the direction which
he is working strikes not only at the
country but at his party. 1t demon
strates its reluctance to meet REQUIRE
ments even though there is a sem
blance in any favorable action on the
bill that it is an endorsement of re-
publican tariff IDEAS. It would not be
the first time, however, that the DEM
ocrats have had to throw the reverse
clutch on their free trade ideas.

FREEDOM on SPEECH.

FREEDOM OF SPEECH. When
Lord Byron's ''forest-born Demos
themes" thundered against Virginia's
Acceptance of the constitution of
1887" until his amendments, which
guaranteed free speech, free assem-
blage, etc., were embodied in it, he
did so in the belif, which was general
then, that such constitutional safe
guards would prove sufficient to pro-
tect posterity in its inalienable right
to life, liberty and the pursuit of
happiness" and 1 think they would
have been if federalist judges had not
twisted and tortured the whole in
strument into a slave-making and
slave-perpetuating machine.
Given a free press, free speech
and the right to carry and bear arms,
a people worthy of liberty can secure
and maintain it, but in the absence
of these essentials liberty is but a
name, a mere ghost.
The question of a free press is the
Question which am most interested
in just now. Plutocracy and its al
lied interests have secured control of
almost all great daily newspapers
and use them to mislead the masses
of the people. ..., ....
A people fighting to regain control
of their government must readily see
the necessity of having and main
tanning a daily newspaper in a great
city like Chicago, for, say what we
may, Chicago is and will be the
storm center of the present and fu-
ture struggles for industrial liberty.

DIRECTOIRE TO The FRONT
oreelan Styles as Used Under the Dl-
reetolro Are Also ReVlVed-AIl
Skirts Remain Full, But
Cling TO the Figure.


New York-The dominating feature
of the French gowns which recently
arrived in this city Is the straight line
from the head to heels, which all the
Paris masters seem to have adopted.
One Of the best gowns from the
house of Callot is called Vision, and
is built Of amethyst velvet with Gre
clan bodice girdled with a narrow
band of gold braid. A scarlet flower
is placed at the side Of the waist. The
tulle over one shoulder hangs across
the back and follows the long, pointed
train. The skirt is very short in front
and the train reached out from the
side.
An already famous gown resembles
a mummy case. 1t is called Chrysis.
The front is a straight panel with the
bodice part of black chiffon and the
rest of black satin thickly embroidered
with metal threads and green beads in
blocks. A box plait of satin at the
back is also embroidered. A gray one
that has been greatly admired is called
Sacre Ecu. The bodice is Of net en-
%broidered in oXydized silver with a
panel Of the same down back and front.
A gray tulle cape goes over, the Shout
ders and begins at the middle of the
neck in the back under a small narrow
cravat of fire colored velvet ribbon, the
ends dropping to the knees. Around
the waist is a narrow belt of the same.
5ulloz Strikes a New Note.
The moment the buyers arrived they
saw that Bulloz was going to make a
sensation. In a way, this house took
it's pattern after Callet, but 1t has done
brilliant things, and there is a feeling
among the experts that the lines of
Bulloz will lead in a few weeks among
the really smartly dressed, exclusive
set.
A frock called Empress Josephine
is of black velvet made in a straight
line from the bust, with a pointed or
nament of green and silver in front
and back, a little to one side. The
skirt is narrow, with a long train, and
the small sleeves T Of black tulle
There is an unlined band of gold lace
below the hem. The skirt is longer al
the right side and is laid in plaits al
the hips.
Another called Incarnation, is o.
silver and gold brocade, with a bril-
liant rhinestone ornament In the from
with a blue medallion in it's middle
The train is made by sewing a widtt
across a long-waisted line in the back

There is also a jade green brocadt

which are very vague in outline. 1t Il

a long train and a half bodice of white
tulle and rhlnestones. There are long,
medieval sleeves.
A marked deviation from the medic
val style is in a gown by BullOz called
"Watreau." 1t is of lowered silk, with
many groups Of roses, and open pan
niers edged with gold lace.
Cheruit has sent over a coat gown
Of black panne velvet, which is distin-
guished. The plain skirt has a train,
slight fullness and is unusually long in
front. The jacket blouse reaches the
knees, is shaped in an austere, medic
val manner, and is fastened down the
front with three large gold ornaments.
There is a narrow black velvet girdle
slipped down over the hips, fastened
In front with another gold ornament
There are straight, short elbow sleeves.
The placing of the girdle has created
a good deal Of discussion on this side
OF the water. Some designers put II
around a normal waistllne; others In
slst that Cherult intends 1t to be
| dropped well below the waistline.
There is also a medieval gown OF

winter. It Is trimmed with many ir-
regular rows of black sequins run
around the hips. There is "A square,

what portion of the line these troops
will be sent to has not been divulged.
More troops may be forthcoming from
Portugal during the winter, although 1t
is reported the internal condition OF
affairs in that country requires the
presence there Of many soldiers. The
recent strike outbreaks and other la
Dor and S~ocialistic manifestations have
been such that troops are patrolling
and guarding railway lines and bridges
throughout the country.
Lack Of officers Hamperine.
Lack of trained and experienced Of
icers is acting as II handicap to the
new British army in France, as neu-
trails and enemies agree that the mil
lions poured in the field from England
are Of the highest fighting material.
Yet their lack of expert leadership is
costing them enormous losses and for
II long time prevented Sir Douglas
lIaig from keeping up with his French
allies in the Somme offensive.
France, next to Germany. is perhaps
better of for officers than any of the
countries at war, and it is because
the republic. like the fatherland, saves
its commissioned men as far as pos
sible. 1t is well known that snipcrs on
either side pay little attention to or
binary soldiers, being under orders ia
pick Off officers only. And therefore II
is highly necessary that officers be
difficult to differentiate from the men

A table Of retail food prices shows
that since the beginning of the wal
they have increased on an average 90
per cent. Evidence taken by the COM
mittee showed there was less total dis
tress In the country than in an ordinary
year Of peace, the majority of the
classes which suffer chemically from
distress being in unusually regular EN-
ployment. This, together with higher
wages earned by, and the greater
needs of, so many workers employed in
the production of munitions has tended
to increase considerably the total de-
mand for food.

Paris.-Before winter sets i'm 1t Is
expected there will he 26O,OOO Italian
troops fighting on the French front.
Already two %contlngents comprising
5000 men each have arrived in France
and soOn are expected to take up their
positions In the NOsges. All Of the
Itnlians will be sent to that region,
the mountainous country comprising
the extreme end Of the fortified line in
Alsace.
The Italians will comprise regi-
ments of the Alpini, the men recruited
from the mountainous sections of Italy,
skilled in mountain warfare, and Injured
10 work in the rarihed air of high alti-
tudes.
Soon to Be Sent to Front.
That the first contlngents soon will
be on the actual firing line on the
French front Is believed here. and 1t
Is further thought this fact had some
thing to do with Italy's declaration Of
war against Germany, as Italians will
be engaged in actual conflict with the
Germans.
Besides these troops Italy will fur
nish special mountain artillery for its
contingent, the guns being Of the same
caliber as the light French-75 milli-
meters-but capable Of higher angle
fire and mounted on different type
wheels and caissons, making them
more adaptable for hauling up grades.
Some Of these guns are mounted on
skids, so that they can be dragged up
steep mountain trails. Italian Red
Cross hospital units also will accom-
pany the Alpini.
Besides the Italians there will be
still another nationality represented In
the trenches on the western front.
Portugal Is sending 10000 men to this
front, and It Is believed that they al

wears "A Khaki collar and khaki tie.
The German sharpshooters have not
been slow to find that out. and the
British losses Of officers show the price
that they still are paying FOR this glar-
ing and distinguishing mark.
Every French officer from a sub
lieutenant up carries, swung over his
shoulders. a pair of binoculars in a
black leather case. The German
Snipers know this perfectly well, so
that when they ensconce themselves in
a convenient shell hole, or other place
Of vantage, they take no chances on
revealing their whereabouts for the
sake Of bagging IN ordinary poilu
they wait until they can draw a bead
on the wearer of a pair of field glasses
and then try to pot him.
But what is sauce for the goose is
sauce for the gander, as all German
officers carry field glasses too, and the
French sharpshooters lie in wait for
them in identically the same way.
French Method of Charging.
When the French charge and the Of
hcers are forced &c take to the open
with their men, they are not permit
ted to carry their field glasses with
them.
The Germans in some cases have
adopted n ruse exactly opposite. In
sending out n "wave of assault in
stormlng a position the German officers
carry their binoculars slung over theil
shoulders, and every private carries g
dummy" pair of glasses, made Of
cardboard or papier mache to resem
BILE the binoculars, so that the rea
officer is indistinguishable. The French
have captured n number of Germans
