COZ MING THE BALLOTS

The present system of counting the
ballots cast at elections in this state
is both slow and expensive. The
election board in each precinct in
cludes an inspector, two judges and
two clerks. From the opening to
the closing of the polls they are
busy receiving the ballots, and then
they have to count them. This is a
slow process and in some of the larg-
er precincts takes from "a to AS
hours. The longer it takes the slow
er the work drags. After the cleo
possible for them to work rapidly
and mistakes in calling and record
ing the count multiply and cause
still further delay.
Much more prompt and efficient
results could be attained at less eX-
pense by amending the law so as to
provide for two sets of officials, the
regular board to receive the ballots,
and another board consisting of two
judges and two clerks, to count them.
Each precinct should be provided
with two ballot boxes. AS soon as
% votes have been cast let the
counting board take the ballot box
to a room provided at the polling
place and proceed to count the bal
lots AS soon as they had counted
these ballots they could return the
ballot box to the receiving board, and
proceed to count the ballots in the
other box. BY repeating this process
during the day, when the polls closed
there would remain but small num-
Der of ballots uncounted, which
could be tailed in few hours.
The work of the officials receiving
the ballots would be completed
when the polls closed. The work OF
the counting board could easily be
finished by midnight. The total pay
of the two boards, each working a
reasonable number of hours, would
not exceed the pay of one board
working from "a to As hours, and
the count would be made with far
less probability of errors.
The present system has proved to
be slow, expensive and unsatisfact-
DRY. The law should be changed so

LONDON IS UNMOYED
 BY AMERICAN NOTE
Only One English Paper Thinks It Important Enough for Comment
4Correspondence of Thu Associated Press

aCorrespondence of ThJ Associated Pres. )
 London, July 3.-Surprisingly little attention has been given in this country to the American note on seizures of the mails. When published in America only brief and rather exaggerated summaries were sent by the British correspondents. The note was published in full only by the Times" on the nineteenth of June, several days after the American pa apers which printed it had arrived in England. On Saturday the foreign office issued the text as an official paper for publication on Tuesday (June 27.)
 Almost the only important editorial reference to the note is made by the Econ nOmist' in it's issue of today. It points out that lowing to lack of in- formation the public in this country has failed to understand the constant references by President Wilson and by leading newspapers in the United States to the question of Freedom of the Seas.'"
 Alter quoting a large part of the note the Economist" says:
 It Will be seen that a good deal of feeling has been evtnced, and that great care and discrimination are re- qu1red in order not only to meet the SUsceptibll1tles of friendly neutrals, put also to avoid the establishment of precedents which, under different cir curnstances, we should not tolerate ourselves as neutrals in future naval war. Supposing, for example. there were a war between Spain and sweden, and the belligerents claimed the right to intercept malls between London and Paris or London and New York, and to open all private letters, would that pass? The summing up Of the note is very strong. It de- clares that the rights Of neutrals are as sacred as the rights of bellgerents, and must be as strictly observed. and concludes: Only a radical change in the present British and French policy, restoring to the United States it's full rights as a neutral power, will satisfy this government Fortunately we have an arbitration treaty with the United States, which Germany has not

MINE-LAYER TAKEN
 ON TWENTIETH TRIP
German Undersea Craft Had Sta- tioned 200 Mines Before Capture

" London, Suly 21.-The German sub marine mine-layer which is one of the U-35 class, one of the latest prizes of the British navy, was visited by an Associated Press representative today, prior to it's being placed on public exhibition in the Thames.
 The prize, flying the German naval ensign surmounted by the British en- sign, lay in naval dock yard on the east coast. The vessel is designed purely for mine-laying. The entire forward part Is composed of wells six in number, each containing two powerful mines which can be released by levers. The ship has no torpedo tubes or other armament except small arms for the crew and is only 100 feet in length.
 The sailors said that when the sub marine was sighted and chased by a patrol boat the crew tried to get rid of her remaining mines but had not sufficient time. Seeing that cap- tUre was inevitable the officers or dered the abandonment of the ship, destroying the log and other records and virtually demolished the six cylin- der Diesel engine of approximately $50 horsepower. All of the crew and officers were taken prisoners.
 The hull of the submarine is in good condition, but shows number of dents where it struck obstacles in it's underwater voyages. The craft shows signs of rapidity in construction, but appears we'll fitted for short trips across the North Sea. British naval officers pointed out that the mines carried no apparatus for rendering them harmless if they broke loose from their moorings, as required by The Hague convention.
 Thirteen bluejackets and five officers comprise the crew of the submarine. According to one of the seamen she made, prior to her capture, nineteen trips from her base in Germany to the British coast and laid over 200 mines in routes frequented by merchant vessels. She was on her twentieth trip when she was captured by the British patrol boat.

FIREMEN SP0RTIVE
 AS TORRENTS FALL
Rubber-Coated Army Has Outing
 at SaVin Rock

West Haven, July 21.-The State Firemen's Association had a lot of sympathy extended to it today. Plans had been made for it's best field day and parade, and arrangements had been made for thousands of friends of the "Vamps" to come here for a short outing. But Jupiter Pluvius beat out Old Sol, and rain fell where sun beams had been expected. If ad- vance assurances were good for any thing every volunteer f1remen's or sanitation in Connecticut was to have been here to take part in the parade, the sports and the shore dinners at SaVin Rock.
 The display of red shirts, helmets, polished belts, trumpets, hose wagons and fire fighting apparatus was to have been the biggest on record of the association.
 Early morning saw rain falling in sheets. The village streets seemed to be under a protective water wall such as frequently used at fires The wind blew hard and even at 10 o'clock Chief Loomis of the West Haven police de- partment admitted that his brothers who look after fires didn't have much of a day" for their outing. But at that hour the fire laddies were full of courage. Every trolley car was bringing members of out-Of-town companies to the headquarters here until there were hundreds of rubber coated men merrily exchanging greet ings It was estimated that thirty five out of the forty companies eX- pected were represented.
 Weather prospects were on the mend, and Chief Cameron of the West Haven fire fighters decided that the parade could probably be held about noon. A little sunlight would permit the holding of foot races and hose races during the afternoon. Despite the weather every one on hand looked

DELAY DANGEROUS,
 REDMOND WARNS
Says Situation in Ireland Is Seri-
 ous, in Note to Asquith

! London, July 21.-John F. Red- mond, the Nationalist leader has made public a memorandum which he sent to Premier Asquith and David Lloyd George, the secretary for war; on Tuesday, in which he declared that of the Irish bill and the irritation caused by Lord Lansdowne's recent speech had created a very serious sit uation in Ireland. He adds:
 Tn my opinion, any further delay whatever in producing and proceed ing with the bill will make a settle ment on the lines laid down in the terms submitted by MT. Lloyd George quite impossible. When these terms were originally submitted to us we were strongly urged to use all pos sible despatch in consulting our SUD- porters in Ireland.
 Tt was pressed upon us that the matter was one of extreme urgency, that from all points of view 1t was vitally important that the settlement should be pushed through quickly, and were told that not only Irish but great imperial interests were at stake
 "It is now more than three weeks since we did our part and obtained the assent of our friends in Ireland. in the face of very great difficulty as the proposed terms were far from popular. Since then little or no pro- gress has been made, and for some mysterious reason the matter, which five weeks ago was so urgent, now hangs fire.
 "I therefore feel it my duty to urge upon the government that further de- lay will be fatal, and place on record my conviction that any proposal to depart from the terms agreed upon especially in respect to the strictly temporary provisional character of all the sections of the bill, will com pei us to declare that the agreement on the faith of which we obtained the assent of our supporters in Ireland, has been departed from and is at an end"
 A meeting of the Irish party has been summoned for Saturday, when the situation will be taken under con- sideration.

NOBEL PRIZE FOR
 EX-WAR PRISONER
Austrian Physician Returns from Russia to Receive Special Honor

Correspondence of the Asso. Press.) Vienna, July 6-Entering the war as volunteer surgeon little known out side the circle of specialists of his own class, Dr. Robert Barany of Vien- ma, after fifteen months of captivity in Russia, has at last returned as an exchange invalid" to find himself famous as the Nobel prize winner in medicine.
 The knowledge which was the basis of his prize winning book was gained chiefly as surgeon in Przennysl; the book itself was written in captivity; it has brought him 100000 crowns in money; and 1t played no small part in securing his release from Turkestan.
 The dramatic circumstances sur rounding his achievement have great ly heightened the effect of his return to his family. Nominally he was per mitted to leave Russia because he is slightly lame from an affection of one foot from which he has suffered since a child. Actually, his unexpected dis tinction, plus the efforts of Prince Karl of Sweden, went far to secuse his ex- change.
 Despite his lameness, Dr. Barany volunteered for service at the outbreak of the war, and was detailed as chief surgeon of the surgical department of a hospital in Przemysl. It was while there. as he modestly explains, that he was "so fortunate as to dis cover a new method for the treatment of head wounds" discovery that en- abled him to cure a vastly greater percentage of cases than before.
 For four weeks after the fall of Przenysl the Russian commander al-
