ARMENIAN- SYRIAN HELP.

Next week government collier will be loaded at New York with supplies which are to be sent for the relief of the Armenian and Syrian sufferers. Permission has been obtained whereby it will be possible for these goods to be distributed among those people who so greatly need them to sustain and protect life by the Red Cross and the Turkish organization of similar character. It is assured that the flour, wheat, rice, meat products, beans and a limited amount of clothing to the amount of third to a half million dollars will actually reach those who require it.
 Much has already been done by the people of this vicinity and the coun- try in general in contributing towards funds for this very relief. The pitiful plight of those people, persecuted and slowly starving, will continue to arouse sympathy and inspire further contri buttons in their behalf. That there may be a general and concerted par ticipatior for that worthy cause De- tober 21 and p have been designated as Armenian-SYrian relief days by act of congress and proclamation of the president. Specialz4appeals54 are to be made through church pulpits.
 Humanity in distress has never fail ed to awaken interest and efforts to bring about relief in the past among the people of this country and it is not believed that it will on this oc- casion. The need of it having been fully established, there should be a generous response. The frightful con- ditions in those sections of Turkey make an appeal which cannot be turned aside

LACK OF MEN IN THE NAVY.

Another new superdreadnought the Arizona, has taken it's place in the United States navy. It is a powerful battleship such as is greatly needed together with many more for the proper defense of this nation and the maintenance of peace. It is one of the greatest fighting machines which Uncle Sam possesses, having a main battery of a dozen 14-inch guns and has a cruising speed of 21 knots, and with it's sister ship. the Pennsylvania, recently commissioned, gives the navy two vessels which represent the last word in naval construction Others of greater power are in the works, so that their supremacy is a matter of only a short time, but they are nevertheless warships of great value
 The Arizona is to have a crew of 1924 men when it is fully manned, and in this connection one of the great weaknesses of the United States navy is revealed when it was found necessary, in order to get the 911 off, cers and men who now make up it's crew, to draw these men from the battleships New Hampshire, Vermont and Kansas and place these vessels in reserve.
 This is the second time that such q practice has had to be resorted to in the past few months. Two big fight CTS have been made ready but a half dozen or more have, been forced to go out of commission for lack of men. This calls attention in no uncertain terms to one of the vital weaknesses of the navy and one which deserves to undergo an early correction.

MT. Editor: A lot of good space has been consumed in your paper recently by an individual, presumably from Laurel Hill, signing himself Bill" "Another Bilf," and similar foolish nom de- -plunes. The contents of the letters themselves are as foolish as the signatures which appear below them. It shows a. great spirit of magnanimity on the part of the morning paper to concede this space to such nonsense, and 1 presume the source has to be considered.
 He first commended the city gov ernment; now he criticizes them when they improve obnoxious conditions: now he criticiZes the trolley road, and again he criticizes the gas plant. Is there anything on Gods earth that suits him?
 Men who are a success in their own line generally attend to their own business, but it seems that there are some people who always know so much more about other peoples business than their own, and that is why they are not so much of a success in their own line. A man who is not a great success in his own line, as a rule, is not given very much attention when it comes to criticizing others.
 With his knock for the city govern ment; with his knock for the gas plant, and with his knock for the cleo tric railway, he comes out and pats himself on the back, saying that knocker is a good thing. A knocker is good thing that ought to be put on a rail and ridden out of town like all other nuisances When a decent man has a complaint he takes it to the proper source, where 1t is registered and where it will do good. but our stuffed shirt orator always rushes into print wi;h his kick so that he can make a noise.
 When has there been better service rendered to the city of Norwich by the various departments criticized than there is being rendered at the present time?
 Laurel Hill Is on the way towards Brewster's Neck, and there are a great many patients in Brewster's Neck who write letters that are not very bad, either but I think that it would be unfair to the general public to have them printed in the newspapers and consuming good space which ought to be occupied, and can be, by better ma terial.
 As a closing rejoinder, I would sug- gest that you tie that little bull out side" We have already heard too much of it's Bah! Bah!

STILL NEEDS MORE ATTENTION.

Regardless of the excellent results of the federal drug act in restricting the sale of narcotics throughout the country and therefore operating to discourage the habit among the ad- diets and to safeguard those who have not come under it's influence, service which is of inestimab1e value in preventing the further demoraliza- tion of humanity. there still remains a big opportunity for combating the evil.
 This is revealed by the reports which are being made by investigat- ing committees in the large centers In New York county it is found by the records of the commissioner of corrections that there were 1900 ha- bitual drug users committed to insti- tutions during the last year. simi- lar situation was disclosed in Phila- delphia where almost as large num- Der of addicts was revealed in a sirni- lar manner That many of these cases are revealed because of the op- eration of the federal law is rec ognized, but it is evident nevertheless that the dope is being secured and that there are peddlers who are mall- ing a living off of the wrecking of others lives and according Ito the New York committee it is not all con- fined to the underworld but it has gained a strong hold among the veal thy class, where what would be a prohibitive price to others furnishes, little or no obstacle.
 This situation shows the need of more determined action on the part Of municipality and state to break the illegal traffic which is being carried on in this line and every such effort as is being made by these inveHtigat-. ing committees is to be commended. Their recommendations will be enti- tied to weighty consideration.

THE NOTE TO GREECE

The sending of the grave note to Greece by the entente allies, without the contents being made public. un- occasionally means that those nations have reached the conclusion that the time has arrived when Constantine must either fish or cut bait Things have been tending in this direction for a-s long time. It has been manifested in, the sentiment of the people of that country until thGt feeling has crystal lized in the setting up of a provis- ional government in Crete under the direction Of ex-Prer1ier Venizelos, which has been recognized by the al- isss.~
 There have been further indications of it from tina to time in the de- pands which have been made upon
 Teece for the Rehabilitation of it's army, the refusal of the entente to make terms with the Creek cabinets, ahe change in police authority and astly in the insistence that the navy pe turned over to the Trench admiral h charge of naval operations in that Ftcinity.

WHAT HUGHES WOULD HAVE
 DONE

Once again has hec6ler attempted to embarrassS Charles E. Hughes dur jug his campaign in the middle west. but on this occasion at Sioux City. Iowa, as on the previous instance at Louisville, Ky, tho forr.er governor Of New York s+ato answered him straight from the shoulder.
 This fellow wanted to know if he would repeal t1la 4 Adanson act in case be Hhould ha elected and he followed up his query with another which sought to place the president as the champion Of one class against an- other. and still another which was calculated to show that he would not have he'd time to have done as he said he would.
 To the first of these. MT. Hughes de- clared "a surrender cannot be re- pealed" but he took occasion to make 1t plain that. as the representative of 1ot one class but of all the people, he would have insisted e1ren arbitration and that having been refused, he added "I would have gone Tight to the American people. stated khe facts and put the responsibility Sv1ere it belonged. I should have at the~ same time secured commission or Inquiry so impartial, so fair, as to crnlp1and the respect of the entire count1 and directed public opinion to that 'c {. There is no group of men in tho United States who would have dared hold up the instrumentalities of commerce if that were done" And he further made it plain that the administration had had plenty of warning long in advance as to what responsibilities it might be called up- oH to assume. and yet the crisis was allowed to develop
 It is well known how the administra- ton disregarded the warning of the pending trouble and it worked itself into a hole from which it was una bIe to extricate itself otherwise than by the surrender that it made. It per mitted the holdup and then capitu- hted. Is there any wonder that there Is opposition to such kind of legisIa- ton?

an old one that few are deceived by their tactics.-Rockville Journal.

Estimates of the passenger traffic di- verted from steam roads to automo-
 piles are offset by statements showing the advantages of the automobile trucks from the point of view of the freight agent. Now the managers of the railroads are learning that ira- proved highways over which the coma mercial automobiles are run are ac( ing as feeders and are saving the companies the expense of building branch lines which hardly pay the ex- penses of operation. The point made is that the highways are provided without issues of railroad bonds or stock, and that for distances of thirty to sixty miles onJ each side of the track they bring business to the freight stations. Relief from unprofit- able branch mileage thus is insured, and the railroads get business from
 territory formerly inaccessible. For
 this reason we hear of no protest
 from the carriers against railway
 highway development. The communi-
 ties tapped by long stretches of hard and smooth roads also are benefited by
 being brought into closer touch with
 the market centers of the country.
