REoPENING THE CANAL.

Good news comes in the report from
the war department to the effect that
such progress is being made against
the slides in the Panama canal that
1t will be a matter of but another
month before navigation will be re-
sumed through that waterway for
vessels which require a depth of thirty
feet
This does not mean that all the
work in connection with the overcom-
ing of the obstruction caused by the
slides has been done or will have been
completed by the middle of April, for
it will be necessary to keep the
dredges in operation for some time to
come and not a small amount of other
work will have to be done before it
can be assured that the uncertain
conditions there are under control,
but it is gratifying after having been
practically closed for a period of six
months that it's use will be available
then.
The slides were most unfortunate
and came at a time when they caused
great inconvenience to shipping, but
the reOpening will nevertheless be
hailed with delight by those engaged
in trade between the two oceans be-
cause of the distance cutting that il
will make possible. This with the
shortage that exists in commercial
vessels is of much Importance and i
will be surprising if it does not ex.

cation is permitted, record break.
ing volume of business. That the ca
nal is to be ready next month is un
questionably due to the action tina
was taken at the start in stopping al
navigation and giving free hand t,
all efforts for removing the obstruc
ton and it is to be hoped that tn
work has been so thorough that Their

AGAINST FREE SUGAR.

Though it is made evident that the
democrats have been forced to see
the wrong course which they adopted
in working for and obtaining free SUI
gar, which would have been a fact
had the provision of the Underwood
bill calling for it been permitted to
go into effect the first of May, they
have nevertheless taken the proper
course now in repeating it.
This means that another democratic
theory has gone for naught, that
greater attention should have been
given to the opposition at the time
when free sugar was being so blindly
advocated and that it is not improba-
Bile that there have been other serious
mistakes made in the slashing which
was carried out in tariff rates by the
present administration.
The changes in the sugar schedule
made by the democrats have beer
tried out and it has been shown be-
fore the free sugar clause became
operative that it was going to be q
mistake to allow it to go into effect
The revenue from sugar has been
greatly reduced as it is, and at 6
time when the country is in need OF
| just such revenue vet free sugar
| Means that somewhere about $50. 900,
! 900 more would be lost if the com.
| modify was admitted to the country
| without any tax. 1t would be impos.
sible to make up this loss in any
| other way except by imposing add
tional federal taxes, a feature which
has already played too prominent
part in the policy of tariff for rev
enue only.
| Now that experience has shown tn
fallacy of the course regarding sugar
for it is believed that the senate viii
take action similar to that in tn
house, it is time that the facts SHOULD
be looked straight in the face rela
tive to other schedules of the demo
cratic tariff for the benefit of tn
country and it's industries.

CHANGES IN coLoRs.

In spite of the scarcity of dyes in
this country, or maybe because Of the
limited dye supply, there are many
changes in colors to be noted for
spring apparel. Fashions seem to
waver between the pastel or Vatican
shades and the brilliant hues inspired
by the designs and Colorings of Bakst
in the Ballet Russo. Sports clothes,
too, are usually bright; golf, or Brit
ish, red and jade or Kelly green be-
ing great favorites for sweaters over
white skirts or for skirts to be worn
with sweaters. Gray is a great spring
favorite. 1t has manw new names and
shades, such as mist, dusk and peace
or dove gray. Blues there are a many,
and some new faded-out shades to
bear out the Vatican prediction. Per-
twinkle and porcelain are new blue
shades. Beige, champagne, cham
pigon or mushroom color all tone into
the castor shades, which are good for
combination purposes. Yellow will be
prominent, from mustard to deer
flame orange.

it unquestionably caused friction and
he was not inclined to modify the sit
uation or strike compromising atti-
tude once he felt that he had taken
the right position.
The result is that France has lost
most faithful cabinet member and
one whose services have stood out as
prominently during the war as they
did during the years when he admin
istered the affairs of Madagascar.
What his successor, General Charles
Rogue will do remains to be seen but
it is evident that he will be closer to
the military committees of the French
parliament though that may not mean
that the interests Of France will be
any better served.

GERMANY
NY SHOULD
FACTS
HASTEN

Added interest is bound to be at
tached to the inquiry which is being
made regarding the loss of the Dutch
liner Tubantia in the North sea
because of the claim that while some
of the officers of the ship saw no
submarine, they did see the torpedo,
and conditions are not known to be
such that torpedoes can be directed
against a vessel in such a locality
without the presence of some kind of
q war vessel, and the fact that none
was in sight leads at once to the con-
clusion that it was a submarine which
mad discreetly kept under water.
This is of course not the first ves-
sci that has been sent to the bottom
in that locality, and it is not the only
Holland ship that has suffered from
a torpedo, if it is finally decided that
it was a torpedo, but it is plainly evil
ient that it was without any justif1-
cation whether it was torpedoed or
whether it was sunk by mine which
had been so placed, either by subma-
rine, if such a thing has been found
to be possible, or otherwise, knowing
that the chances were that it would
be a merchant vessel which would be
likely to encounter it instead of a
warship.
The neutral nations must await the
outcome of the investigation. They
must get the facts as far as they are
obtainable, but if the contentious
prove true that submarines are en-
gaging in such practice, contrary to
the promises of the German govern
ment, there is ground for making
| stronger representations to and de-
mands of the guilty government than
| have taken place before. If Germany
! can prove that its submarines were
not guilty it should not hesitate in
producing the cold hard facts. II
stands in a bad light because of its
past acts and the occasional bit OF
evidence tending to the fact that it is
again disregarding its solemn prom

A PROPER CENSORSHIP.

1t can be readily appreciated by
those who stop to consider the situa-
ton that il is q, wise precaution that
is taken in establishing a censorship
over the news concerning the opera
tons of the United States forces in
Mexico.
The forces under General Pershing
have two problems to face. They are
sent into Mexico for the purpose of
disposing of Villa, which task is like
ly to take them over much Mexican
territory, and at the same time mas
much as this punitive expedition must
be distinguished from intervention in
that republic, they must guard them
selves against action which would
make a state of war probable.
1t is therefore highly important that
nothing should be allowed to disturb
the cooperation in which this coun-
try and the CarranZa forces are par
ticipating for the elimination of a
common enemy. That this could cas-
lily be done by false reports or by the
using of certain reports to create en-
tirely unjustified impressions by those
who would like to involve this coun-
try in greater trouble with Mexico
will at once be recognized.
1t Is useless also to put a detective
on the train Of a band of criminals
outline the plan of operations and give
a detailed report of every move as
well as those contemplated, and ex-
pect that the desired results will be
obtained. The delicacy of the situa.
ton makes it advisable to surround
the expedition with as much secrecy
as, in the opinion of the military au.
thorities, is wise, and only by a stric
censorship can this be assured, an(
trouble causing reports be kept to tn,
minimum

TULLE MUCH USED.

Great quantities of tulle are being
used on evening gowns this season,
not only for fashioning the gown, but
for trimming purposes, in wisps Of
draperies, scarfs and in one gown as
Il train. A black and gold evening
frOck shows a wide piece of tulle
caught across the back of the frock
and held with jet bracelets to the
wrists. Queer freaks are to be seen
among some of the latest importa-
tons. A midnight blue taffeta coat is
lined with blue serge, reversing the
order of things generally. In a rose
and black velvet evening coat, where
the waist portion is of the lighter
shade and the skirt portion of the 9TH
er, the lining of satin reverses the
color. the rose velvet being lined with
black and the black with rose. \
Venetian purple evening coat is lined
| for a depth of eight or nine inches
with a lowered and broCaded velvet
ribon-another proof of the ribbon
craze.

GINGER AND SPICE.

Spice cabinets have reached a high
degree of artistic perfection these
days, and if you are a bride to be or
an up to date housewife you will not
be able to resist the pretty spice re-
ceptaCles which the shops are offer
ing. Small cabinets of porcelain or
enameled tin have six or eight or more
drawers, all carefully labeled to hold
the spices. They remind one of the
top "stores" which children stock up
well at Christmas time. White china
jars decorated with conventional Dor
GERS or checks or stripes may be set
all in a row on your pantry shelf, and
will not be an eyesore. They will
hold spices of all sorts, coffee, tea, salt
and even dry cereals. They are lab
eled plainly enough to catch your eye
in a second and many precious min
utes are thus saved by the use OF
such systematic reCentacles.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR
The Manufacture of Our Own EIse-
tricity.


NIr. Editor: agree with \ Tax
payer that the city OF Norwich should
make its own electricity, but it can
not compete with water power by the
use of steam. as figures recently pro-
duced by The Bulletin show indisput-
ably. Norwich must make electricity
by water power, and isn't IL possible
for the city to do 1t.
Norwich has water enough with
river flowing on each side of her
which turn the wheels Of many indus
tries. and with two big reservoirs, with
Gardner lake in connection with Stony
brook as a third possibility.
Norwich sells water to our largo
manufactures at n little above cash
rates. and why should she not be able
TO procure water power from these
damned rivers and when the water is
low take water from her own reser-
voirs2
II the city has an electric and gas
plant on which its liabilities are a half
million, there is no reason why II
should spend SOS, 900 for apparatus TO
manufacture electricity at nearly three
cents a lSilowat hour when il can be
made and sold for half that sum by
private companies.
Should we go to private companies
and be dependent upon them they
might, having the monopoly, greatly
| increase the price. while, II we manu-
| facture electricity with water power
ourselves. this danger will be avoided.
As to the part politics plays in all
American affairs, there seems to be no
way TO eliminate that from the courts
| schools. or municipal business of every
| character. 1t is very difficult in free
| America to keep politics out Of private
| business and the churches.
| All Norwich can do is to act for the
| best interests Of the many as against
| ne interests of the few.
