placed in the seamen's act by this government.
 Those same features which drove others out of the business prevail to- day. But what has been the result .? Where there were American steam ship lines there are now those of the Japanese. They have seen the advan- tages which were given them and have not been slow to improve them. They have purchased and built steam ships for, trade with this country and today control the majority of the ves- sels engaged fn commerce on the Pa cifc.
 That this handicap which has been placed upon American ships will not always last is the hope and expecta- ton of American shipowners. Where others could see no possibility of keep ing out of bankruptcy there are those now who anticipate a change and by taking advantage of the improved rates which have been brought about by the war hope to break even until relief is extended to them. They look for reforms which will treat them justly and in support of such conf1- dence they realize if they are going to retain any business they need to hus- tie for 1t now. They put their re- Iiance on a change in administration md 1t is well founded

Nothinu Serious Happenino.

MT Editor: There doesn't seem to be anything serious happening be- cause of traffic regulation instead of going as you please and keeping up a state of disorder when order should reign.
 I did not happen to support Mayor Brown at the polls. but his civic pride, ability and capacity to do things which should have been done long ago without fear or favor compel me to acknowledge I am glad he won.
 It is not class favoritisn or loose laws that promote trade, but an in viting market to sell products in as well as to buy them in. It is up to the merchants, not up to the mayor, to make business slow or fast in "the Rose of New England"
 Buying produce cheap from any old place and selling it high instead of supporting our nearby farmers with home trade and fair prices is not the way to lead them from the mail order system to our stores.
 Good walks, a protective system for pedestrians. and good order in trafT1Cl1- ing are to the credit not the discredit of any city.

A PERFECTLY PROPER MOVE.

Those who are acquainted with the conditions which surround the mer- chant ships of the central powers which are tied up In the harbors of this country are expressing no sur prise over the fact that the Willehad which has been located at Boston for it's own protection should be given clearance papers. Such a course is only what was to be expected. This country has no hold upon these ships They are not interned the same as the auxiliary cruisers at Norfolk but are assured protection while they re- main within our waters. They have the right to come and go as they please provided they comply with the requirements of this country in secur- ing clearance papers and this has been done by the officers of the German ship which left Boston for New Lon don. There was nothing to prevent 1t from clearing for London or for Ere men if the owners had so desired and so declared.
 When it goes outside the three mile limit, however it must take it's chances. It Is then beyond our juris- diction and legitimate prey of the war ships of belIigerenL nations. The ac- don taken in regard to the WilIehad is in accordance with international law and so clearly so that it will not even call forth Q protest from the en- tente allies.

Three Classic Utterances.

President Wilson has made three classic uttcrances about the world war, and they will probably be copied into the school histories. He first issued 9. proclamation telling US that we must be neutral even in thought about it. As soon as we had recovered from the disgust caused by this he told us he was too proud to fight" At the din speaking of the war, he told us that with it's causes and objects we are not concerned" It is true we are a composite people, but are there any people in the United States besides President Wilson who are neutral even in thought" who are "too proud to fight and who are not concerned with the causes and objects of the war;"
 If there are they will vote for Pres tdent Wilson. MT. Hughes ought to get all the other votes.-Lawrence GOdktn in the New York Sun.

The I7fantiIe Paralysis Epidemic.

The InFantile Paralysis Epidemic.
 MT. Editor: I am not wholly to blame for occasionally Crowding myself into the company of your worthy cOrrespon- dents. Tn these troublesome times, when the slogans of preparedness and efficiency are sounding throughout the land, it behooves the thinking citizen to look about and observe wh among us are prepared and who are efficient. The epidemic of infantiIe po ralysis now raging seems to indicate taat the political end of tho medical profess sion, the sO-Called modern scientists, do not seem to have been any better prepared to cope with disease than were their brethren, the veterinarians, when confronted with an outbreak of foot and mouth disease. When we reflect that they have made no progress toward curing this malady, but on the contrary, are forced to admit @ death rate fully 400 per cent. above any heretofore known, it seems to the av- craze observer that they were and are not only unprepared but decidedly in efficient.
 Taking into account that these mod ern scientists have been intrusted with aut0cratic power over the lives and welfare of the children of New York and other cities of that and other states under the pretense Of protect ing the public health, that COmpul- sorry vaccination has been enforced to the limit, that medical inspection Of schools has been practiced without let or hindrance, that hundreds of kids have been the victims of tonsilestony, in many instances without as much as by your leave, can we wonder? Now add to all the above the fact that Now York especially and many other cities as well have been s1rfeited with pas tUerized milk, dealt out to them by advice of certain newspapers, aided by the health commissioners, who have sought to make it's use compulsory, t would not seem difficult to easily locate the predisposing cause and ascrfbe 1t to the lowered vitality incident to these many violations of natures laws. Nor is the exciting cause entirely obscured if we observe the constantly changing rise and fall of meteorological condi- uOrs during many months passed, condition coeXisting with the huctua- tions of the disease as reported in the daily press. 4 similar condition was noticeable during. the grip epidemic of

HIrCHlMG POSTS

HitchinS posts are to many people a sign of the past. They represent days which are gone, or if not past they are fast disappearing. There was time when people who came in to city to trade had fixed places for hitcling their teams but where cer- tain streets used to be lined up with such vehicles the automobile is to be found today and the automobile stands without hitching so that the signs, ''Hitching Here" or NO Hitching Here" are difficult to find
 Under present conditions no one thinks of setting a hitching post in Front of his property. IF one existed For past accommodation it is likely to be found today but when changes come necessitatng the removal of such posts or the old ones arc broken off there is no thought of replacing them.
 It is entirely probable, however, that the removal of such important posts has been carried on too fast and that too little consideration exists today for those drivers of horses who have not given way to the invasion of the auto. A writer in the Danbury News deplores the lack of such facilities within that city's limits and the same sort of complaint has been registered in this city by those who are still de- voted to the faithful horse. Such gives foundation for the belief that it is a bit too early to think of crowding the horse off the streets. They may be taking a back seat but they are still with US and such being the case the hitChing post cannot be abandoned just yet. How long before 1t will be remains to be seen.

The BIunder That is Killing Patriotism.
 Some Government officials and army officers appear to be surprised that very few VOluteers are coming forward to enlist in the National Guard. If they were wise enough to understand the situation they would be surprised at any new men enisting in view of the overwhelming successful efforts made during the last four weeks to kill off all patriotism and to create spirit of hostility to the system which has carried men wholly unpre pared and unaquiDped to the Mexican border. Nothing has ever been done in this country to compare with this in it's destruction of patriotism, # pa tri0tiSm is to be measured by the willingness of men to enlist under in competency and to be used purely for political work, subjecting the men who have already gone to the border to hardships and to losses for which no excuse can ever be found. Other men are not likely to permit themselves to see how those W5O had the patriotism to respond to the courtry's call have been treated, The Manufacturers Record has watched, with deep regret, the evidence seen everywhere of the incompetence and red-tapism, which, after a months work, still leaves the National Guard wholly unftted for war though iu what might at any moment become a war zone.

HE MEXICAN COMMISSION.

The men who have been selected by President Wilson for the purpose of representing this country upon the joint commission which is going to try and adjust the differences which have arisen between this country and Mexico are those in whom The coun- try has confidence. They are well qualified to take up the duties which will devOlve upon them. Secretary Lane, Judge Gray and Dr. John R. Mott can be relied upon to give proper consideration to the United States in terests but it is no easy task which cOnfronts them and for that reason too much cannot be expected of them.
 It is to be realized that the prob lem which they have been named to help solve Is the result of the policy of watChful waiting which was adopt ed by the administration months ago. Instead Of giving Mexico to under stand in a manner which would per init Of no doubt that the rights of Americans must be respected and their lives properly protected in Mex leo and along the border another course was adopted. The heads of the Mexican government were permit ted to gain a wrong impression of the a-ILuuG or this country. The eEper- fence at Vera Cruz failed to give the necessary warning to the Mexicans that they could not do as they pleased. The lack Of @ firm and determined stand, the too proud 10 fight decla- ration and the failure to impress up- on Carranza that he would be held re- sDOnsiDlo for his acts led up to the present situation which the comnis- sion must now unrangIe. The job has been made much more difficult by the weak and wabbling policy that has been carried out.

RUssIA's PROMISES.

Many changes can be expected in Europe following the close of the war and these will not be confined to the c-eaStng up of existing territorial Boundaries. for, while the map is cer- tain of undergoing a great change, there are reforms which are bound to be put in effect in the various coun- tries, and in this connection much in terest centers about the promises which have been made regarding this in Russia.
 The land of the czar is cognizant of the desires of the Poles. They have been given to understand that Rus sia plans to reestabltsh a new Poland on territorial lines similar to the old which has long since been broken up between Russia, Germany and Aus tria.
 Russia is also indicating that it has not forgotten what was said a mum Der Of months ago about removing the restrictions which have prevailed re- garding the Jews. These limitations, including the pale has prevailed for a period of 125 years. The Jews in Russia have been treated with as lit tie consideration as the Armenians have been in Turkey. Russia has come LO know now the world lOOhS upon such irritating and overbearing treat ment of it's subjects. It has even re- suited in the abrogation of treaty between this country and Russia, but the Jews of Russia are found fighting in the army, and being permitted to become officers have demonstrated their skill wherever placed. Russia has undergone an awakening and it is to be hoped that it will not be al- lowed to overlook the promises which it has been making and if certain leaders are correct in their prognosti- cations there are indications that it will not.

WHEN LAFAYETTE VISITED NORWICH

CWritten Specially for The BulIet1n.)
 The fact that the one hundred and fifty. ninth anniversary of the birth of General Lafayette is to be widely cele- brated Sept. 9th directs attention to the historical record that the diStin- guished Frenchrnan paid several visits to Norwich.
 There were persons alive as late as the time when Miss Caulkins wrote her History of Norwich who remembered the appearance of the noble visitor as he passed through this town on his way to Newport. He had been there before, so needed no guide. His aides and a small bodyguard were with him, as he rode up to the door of his frien6, Col. Jedidiah Huntington, ill a quick gallop.
 He wore the blue military coat, but no vest; and, to the surprise of the townspeople, no stockings. His boots being short, his leg was consequently left bare for a considerable space be- low the knee. This was long before the time when short socks became the rule, or when the popuIace might be- come familiar with the kiItie style of dressing-so that the French generals negligee mode of dress caused almost consternatiOn. The historian explains it. however, by saying that "the speed with which he was travelling and the great heat of the weather were sufFi-
 
 genee." He took some refreshment and hastened on his journey.
 At another period Lafayette passed through with a detachment of 1000 men Under his command, and encamped with them for one night upon the Plain
 Nearly 50 years afterwards, Aug. 21, 1824--192 years aSO-the venerable Lafayette again passed through Nor wich. Several of the old people who remembered him on his earlier visits embraced him and wept. The distin- guished general wept also.
 Lafayette had naturally a lively in terest in Norwich, since he was so keenly in sympathy with General Washington and GovernQr TrumbUl1
 Of Washington's visits to the town frequent mention is made in history. He passed through here in June, 1775, on his way to Cambridge. It is prob able that he came up the river in a packet boat, with his horses and at tendants. He spent the night at The Landing-now the city proper-and the following day pursued his journey eastward.
 h April, 1776, after the evacuation of Boston by the enemy, the Anneri- can troops being ordered to New York came on in detachmcnts by land, and,
