Criticism Not pisloYad.

The effort of the Democratic press to brand as disloyal any criticism, however Well-founded, of President Wilson's mishandIing of foreign af- fairs furnishes a striking example of perverted conception of both loy- atty and logic. Reduced to simple terms the arguments of these paperA runs thus:
 Our affairs have been handled in a blundering, vacillating and uncer- tain fashion. both as to Europe and as to Mexico. As a result of this wab- bling course, our relations with vstri- ous European countries are unsatis- factory and the situation with Mexico is fraught with danger. Nevertheless because of the stress of our various foreign relations, there must be no criticism of the blundering vacillat- ing course which has produced this situation. Out of loyalty to our coun- try we must refrain from pointing out the serious errors of the Administra- ton, which have been in part respon sible for our present difficulties. Then, in the abSance of just criticism the

i 900 FOOT DRY DOCK
 COMPLETED AT BALBOA
An important Step In the MiIitariza-
 Sion of the Canal Zone.

Panama, Sept. 19. - The virtual completion of the new 1,0o0-foot dry dock at Balboa, in conjunction with the shops and foundries there, and of the 4S5.0O0-ton coaling plant at Cris- tobal, are important steps in the mil itarization of the Canal, and making it an important naval base. The dry dock and the coaling plant are now in operation, although further work is necessary to bring them to comple- ton. They have both heen used dur ing the past week for commercial ships passing through the Canal, and the navy cruiser Charleston, which has been stationed at the Atlantic en- trance since the last German crisis, is now being overhauled and given ex- tensive repairs in the dry dock.
 The dry dock is 1000 feet long by 10 feet wide, having the same dim. ensions as the chambers of the locks. It will accommodate the largest ships in the world, and even at this stage of completion has handled one vessel drawing B feet of water. It has a depath over the blocks of 35 feet at mean tide, or 45 feet at high tide. It

What to Save and How to Save it.

The chief use of the kitchen is for the preparation of food, and one of the greatest wastes in the household arises here, because the housewife does not always know the best methods of keeping foods 60 conserve their full flavor. A great deal of food is wasted because it has been put in too cold. too wet, or uoo dry a place.
 The animal food products, meat, fish, oils. lard butter, milk, cheese and eggs keep best in slightly damp, cool, weii-a gred place. Cheese twill keep well, if wrapped in oiled paper. Ii fresh meat has to be kept longer than usual, brown the outer surface quickly in hot fat. Flour, cornmeal, rice, tap ioca, breakfast food preparations and all cereal foods require a dry dark place. All kinds of canned and pre- served fruits keep best in a dark place. Most kinds of head vegetables keep better if the stems are placed in water. Leaf vegetables such as spinach, leaf lettuce, and parsley keep best in a dark, damp place wrapped in cheese cloth or placed in a tin pail
 In summertime there are ways Of keeping foods cool without ice or a refrigerator. A damp cloth thrown over leftover food or vegetables helps to keep them moist and cool! An ice less refrigerator may be made at home. It depends for it's coolness upon the evaporation of water from the cloth covering and q temperature of 50 de- grees F. may be obtained. Good cov- CTS for food can easily be made from pieces of cheese cloth. A weight placed in each corner will keep them from blowing off. So much for the keeping of food.
 From leftover food many attractive dishes can be made.
 Cereals can be moulded and fried.
 Sour milk can be used in pancakes, gingerbread and cornmeal.
 Cheese can be used in many different dishes.
 Dry pieces of bread can be ground up and kept on hand for breading outlets, chops. or fish. These crumbs should not be too old, and the receptacle in which they are kept should not be air tight.
 Fat from meat or fowl should be saved, rendered out in boiling water and used for frying.
 Leftover fruit juices, if in large quantities, can be sealed up for winter use. Smaller quantities may be boiled down into a syrup for buildings. A | good grade of vinegar can also be made from fruit juices.

Would Have Kept Our Integrity.

What Would MT. Hughes Have Done? is the heading Of the leading editorial in your paper Of last Friday Nobody knows. Not even MT. Hughes can likely now say exactly what he would have done had he been in Pres ident Wilson's place when four labor leaders threatened the President with a Country wide railroad strike unless law enforcing compliance with their demands be passed within AS hours.
 But we know what President Lincoln did in 1861. when Civil war was thrYat- ened unless the demands of the slave holders be complied with, and we know what President Wilson should have done when he had to choose be- tween the upholding of the majority of the Nation or surrender to the bidding of four labor leaders. Maybe if he had chosen the former a railroad strike, with all it's dire consequences would have followed-though leading rail- road men aver the railroads could have coped with the resulting situation - but government of the people. by the people, for the people would have been maintained unimpaired.-FTom a let ter from Jacob H. Schiff to the Editor of the New York Times.

THE NEW CHAMBER OF COM
 MERGE.

There has been much to commend in the work which has been done by two of Norwich's civic organizations in their efforts to build up and aid in the progress of the city, but just at the present time the best step taken has been the decision by the members of the Board of Trade and the Cham Der of Commerce to abandon their or ganizations as they have existed in the past and join together in a new Cham Der of Commerce of Norwich to be in corporated under the laws of the state and to be affiliated with the state and national bodies Of the same name.
 Norwich is not a large enough com- munity to permit two organizations which are working to the same end to operate without more or less friction and jealousy What is needed is the pulling together of all it's citizens in stead of pulling apart. Unity of pur- pose and unity of action has long been needed and nothing has brought it to light more plainly than the experience which has resulted during the past few years. One good powerful and ac- tive organization constantly at work for the progress of Norwich is far pre- ferable to two weak and struggling OIicS WHICH pay HiOLe dLLSlLtC1l lO WIlaC the other is doing than to the real ob- ject of their existence.
 In bringing out a full realzation of this point it is possibly a good thing that the city has passed through it's recent experience but it is time now to give the new and united organiza- ton the support it deserves and let the effects show in the benefits to the community.

plainly appears to be the case. for when 1t is stated that the law affects only goods which are shipped within thirty days of their completion all that appears to be necessary is to increase production to such a point that a sur plus can be established. to remain in storage for a months period and then sent into interstate commerce as If there was no child labor law in exist ence. There is no restriction on the employment of children, according to the practices of the past, un- der such law, and there is no violation when children are employed in the manufacture of goods so delayed in shipment. Rather does the amendment point the way to that very circumvention of the law, and it appears that the bill as passed is therefore two sided. It pre- tends to check child labor but at the same time shows how child labor can be used without breaking the law. That being the case those who con- slider that the desired effect is not nulIified are due for an awakening.

MODIFIED TRAFFIC RULES.

By its action in suspending the en- forcement of the present traffic ordi- nance so far as it prohibits the stop ping of vehicles on certain of the main streets of the city for more than 15 minutes, and extending the time for such occupancy of the highway to 90 minutes between the hours of eight in the morning and nine in the even- ing. the court of common council has given heed to the petition of business houses and citizens. It means that such modification is going to be given a tryout for the purpose of determining whether under the existing circum- stances it will be satisfactory in such a form. which being the case the act ual change in the ordinance will be undertaken.
 This change has been brought about by the enforcement of the old ordi- nance. It didn't require long to show up some of the defects and it is en- tirely possible that the modification has not reached that degree of per lection which would make it unwise to still further amend it, and it may even be found that other streets than those already concerned should be included to relieve congestion and make travel safe.
 Norwich wants the best traffic rules that it can get which meet the situa- tion as it exists in this city. The idea is not to impose hardships upon any one unnecessarily but to serve the common good of all, and when such regulations have been obtained to have them respected. That some changes have been favored is gratifying and it is entirely possible that others will vet be considered advisable. Such is the way defects are overcome.

 The new coahng plant at Cristobal, which has an emergency storage efsap- acity of nearly 500,000 tons, which may be increased indefinitely in con- nection with land storage alongside the plant. has been designed with es- pecial regard to naval uses. Its abil- ity to deliver 2,000 tens of coal an hour to a ship will make it theoreti- cally possible for a whole fleet to coal there in 24 hours for an extensive cruise.

WHY THEY QUIT

THE kELVINIA CASE.

Germany has been busy with it's submarines sinking merchant ships in the past summer It is even claimed that 53 hostile and neutral ships have been sent to the bottom in the ten days previous to September 13, the neutral vessels being destroyed because they carried contraband and it was impos- sible to take them to a German port.
 It is entirely possible that Germany was justified in the sinking of each and everyone of those ships. It is fully understood that it has rights as q belligerent under the rules of war if it goes according to such regula- tions. Interest is revived in this coun- try because one of the number sunk, the Kelvinia, was a ship carrying 2S Americans and while none of them was injured or lost, if the claim is true that the vessel was torpedoed without warning, it furnishes a good reason for calling Germany to &C., count.
 While Germany may claim that it has a right to sink enemy ships, which will be granted, and while it may claim the right to sink neutrals found carrying contraband, which right may be disputed, it can hardly claim that it is privileged to sink ves- sells without warning or without first ascertaining whether they are actual ly carrying contraband or not.
 All the facts in the case should therefore be obtained and if a Ger man submarine sank the Kelvinia without giving the crew warning it must be looked upon as a violation of its agreement to respect the rules of war on the high seas.
