group, the very men, mainly republi- cans, who Ioathe both MT. Wilson and MT. Roosevelt.
 MT. Wilson's acts are the ample proof of his Americanism. Without doubting MT. Hughes, it is hard to see what it gains by being imputed 10 him by MT. Roosevelt. Take him on my recommendation" is what his plea to the progressiVes amounts to. But if they are true to their prin- ciples of 1912, why shouldn't they fol- low them, instead of following the chief?
 MT. Roosevelt is thoroughly tired of the progressive party. He is a mighty engaging character, but too worldly wise for 'the conscience Of the people," He wants a conscience that can deliver more votes.

 While the modernity of the most conspicuous edifices robs CZernowitz of the quaintness and medieval atmos- phere possessed by many cities of cen tral Europe, oompensating grace is to be found by the traveller in the won- derfully picturesque costumes of the peasant on market Mondays, when the Poles Ruth enians, Roumanians, Ger mans, Magyars, Jews, Armenians, Bull garians Gypsies, Turks and Czechs appear in their national dress, rival ing the rainbow in the variety of hues employed. They astound the ear with an amazing babel of tongues.
 Among the distinctive features of this city are it's houses 'or clubs, which are the centers of the various national interests.

The Sacrifice of the Bull Moose.
(New York Tim es. )

Tenderly but fnexorably Mir. Roose- welt draws his cruel steel along the throat of the Bull Moose. He intro duced it to the political fauna. Now he bids 1t join the dodo. The animal was his. For him it must die. He is the most gregarious of men. He is unhappy in a minority. His letter to the Progressive National Committee might aptly be entitled "I Must Set Back into the Republican Party" To enable him to accomplish that task, will the progressive party, which came ito stay" disrupt, dissolve, fall upon the impenitent bosoms of the "crooks'' of 1912? He weeps over it before he knifes 1t:
 Before speaking of anything else I wish to express my heartiest and most unstinted admiration for the character and services of the men and women who made up the Progressive National Convention in 1916. The platform put forth in 1912 was much the most important public document promulgated in this country since the death of Abraham Lincoln.''
 Suppose the republican party, beat en in 1856, had given up in 1860 it's fight against the extension of slavery |? If the platform of 1912 was the most important public document promul- gated in this country since the death of Abraham Lincoln," why doesn't MT. Roosevelt stick to it? But where is that platform now? It has been thrown into the ashheap of history It was forgotten even by the pro gressivea at their Chicago convention Where is the recall of judicial de- cisions? Where is Responsibility to the people, secured by the initiative, referendum and recall'? Away in the Ewigkeit.
 The party made it's platform a ''cov- enant with the people," The coven- ant is torn up. The "abuses" have not been swept away. "It Is impos- | sibIe," says MT. Roosevelt in a de- l lightful passage, flor us prOgressives 1 to abandon our convictions" He has abandoned them. His progressive | convictions are like the good inten- tions of MT. Micawber's youngest son. He never carries them out.
 Perhaps conscious of the weakness 1 of his> defense, MT. Roosevelt turns to the more congenial job of lamb skinning MT. Wilson, whose 1dm1n- | istration Is "on an even lower leve1
 
 an." A rehash of a favorite phrase | of his unbiased criticism. He is the | incarnation of Lincoln. Consequently l MT. Wilson must be the avatar of Old | Buck. When MT.

The Flag at Night.
(New York Tribune ).

One interesting request of the Mayors Fourth of July Committee is that citizens shall display the flag at night. This Is a new wrinkle in pa triotic display, the consequence of cheap and omnipresent electricity. For the set piece, an American flag constructed of red, white and blue lights, 1t is hard to feel much en- thusiasm. It is too reminiscent of Broadway and Forty-second street and scintillating siphons fzzing into the latest brand of highball.
 But the flag itself, of real bunting, at night, waving high aloft in the rays of a searchlight is another mat ter, Various buildings have used this method, and it holds a real thrill Perhaps it is the reminiscent chord of The Star Spangled Banner" per- haps 1t Is merely the novelty of any flag at night. At any rate 1t shows the banner at it's richest and best.

WHAT OTHERS SAY
Views on all sides of timely questions as discussed in ex- changes that come to the Herald Office.
ObregOn's Idea.
(Norwich Evening RecordD


 Gen. Obregon has the right idea of what war should be. The only diff ficulty about it is that it is not prac- tical, is not war at all in the sense that nations go at war. Here is what Obregon says: Tn all contests of hon. or the contestants first take the meas ure of their arms, in order that they may be able to fight on equal terms If the United States desires to de- fend it's honor, unquestionably 1t should take the same number of men as we have and equally armed, and light on fields selected by mutual con- sent' And, of course, the men should be selected to the end that they should have equal ability to fight, Tn the aggregate, and the umpire should be careful not to place them so that the sun would shine in the eyes of one side any more than 1t bllnded the enemy. That Is by no means bad idea. It would require half-m1llion or more American sol d1ers to prevent raids on Americans While the finely arranged war was going on and the Mexicans would have no such bother as that, because they know there are no American bandits to raid their people. And that Is the reason why the perfectly fair war is impossible The nation capable of making that kind of war has got on it's hands the duty of whipping the other nation into @ sense of it's cussedness. There Is no honor involved, because there is nothing Tn the history of the Mexican people which establishes a recognized code of honor.

A LESSON LEARNED.

If nothing else is accomplished by the present mobilization of the Ma uonal Guard, the country will be taught a lesson in preparedness that 1t should not soon forget. The mo- bilization has demonstrated one thing that the United States is not pre- pared for an extensive warfare against 8 first class power. In fact, defen- sive land warfare might have griev- ous results for this snug, self-com- placent nation, which has been stroll ing along on the sunny side of the street regardless of open coal holes or other pitfalls on the sidewalk
 To a country like Germany, or any other power that applies the safety first maxim to it's army and navy the efforts of the United States to move hundred thousand men to the Mex fcan line must be laughable, to say the least. It would not be necessary to go to the preparedness extremes that Germany has gone to. That would be nlilitarisn. But 1t has been dem onstrated that the United States needs new system so that when the call comes her National Guard will not be forced to scurry @aound like a lot of children looking for the lunch basket at Sunday school picnic.

Topped by Gosh?

Here's the Hartford Courants lat est contribution to the wisdom of the ages. For the benefit of those who remember that papers stand of four years ago against Roosevelt and all he implies we might state that T. R. has declared for MT. Hughes. Come on in with us the water is fine says the Courant in these words: \ ''Mr. ROosevelt's letter is published in full elsewhere and it is all that was expected, He compliments his followers of 1912, and nothing less would be worthy of the man. But he lets them see that their duty and opportunity are to turn to the re- publican party since Hughes has been nominated. He says that it might have been best to run an independent ticket, but the circumstances that would have made that necessary did not develop. Such action would only help Wilson. Tt would be q grave detriment to the country to re-elect MT. Wilson:
 Tn MT. Wilson's case we do not have to consider his words, but his deeds. His deeds absolutely contra dict his words; and for the matter of that his words absolutely contra dict one another. It is folly to pay heed to any of the promises in the plat form on which he now stands in view of the fact that almost every impor- tant promise contained in the plat form on which he stood four years ago has since been broken.
 MT. Hughes is beyond all compar- ison better fitted to be president than MT. Wilson, Of Hughes himself he says:
 It is sufficient to say that the mem-' bers of the republican national con- vention were unquestionably' induced to nominate MT. Hughes primarily because of the belief that his integ- rity and force of character and his long record of admirable public serv- ice would make him peculiarly ac- ceptable, not only to the rank and file of the republican party, but to the people generally. I do not be- leve that MT. Hughes would have been nominated if it had not been for the fight on behalf of public de- cenoy and efficiency which the pro- gressive party has waged during the past four years. Iii any event and without any regard to what the per- sonal feelings of any of us may be as regards the action of the republi- can convention, I wish very solemnly to ask the representatives of the pro- gressive party to consider at this time only the welfare of the people of the United States
 we do not wish to reproduce here all the vigor of the address but refer readers to the article itself. MT. Roosevelt's scathing review of Will sons and the democratic party's course is sufficient and conclusive. It is in his clear and telling style and carries conviction with it. Tn con- c1usion he makes this forceful ap- peal and we have no doubt that it will be answered:
 We have the alternative of con" tinuing in office an administration which has proved a lamentable fail ure, or of putting into office an ad- ministration which we have every reason to believe will function with efficiency for the interest and honor of all our people. I earnestly be- speak from my fellow progressivcs their ungrudging support of MT. Hughes y

GUNS DISTURB THE
BIRD LIFE IN WAR

PARIS, April bird life along
the battle front appears to have been
disturbed by the continual laundering
OF the guns. Birds disappeared from
the war zone after the Battle Of the
Marine, and some naturalists attributed
their migration to the din of the war.
They came back again, however, and
little by little accustomed themselves
to the noise of explosives and even

conflict, where there is ample nour-
ishment around the soldiers quarters.
loves and wild pigeons are the most
abundant, while there are many cue
kcos, thrushes, crows, magpies and
jays. Starlings are very common,
nesting in trees as close as they find
them in the trenches. Monsieur Louis
Rousseau, a we'll known ornithologist,
has discovered that the war has chang
ed the character of these birds and
made them thrifty. He has found their
nests in the holes of dead oaks, with
a provision of breadcrumbs stored
away prudently underneath. Doves fly
about between the two lines, paying
no attention to the brushing shrapnel,
and none of them appear to be afraid
of either aeroplanes, observation bal.
looms or dirigibles.
Buzzards are everywhere along the
front and they seem to find particu-
lar amusement in circling around the
observation balloons.
Monsieur Rousseau finds game very
abundant in the section of the front
where he is, due partly to the sup
pressing of shooting since the war
began, but mostly, he thinks, to the in
vasion which drove game ahead of it
