unset Allies Plans.

The ar-reaching signifcance'' of the spring operations on the Western front has, from German point of view, been the fact that while the En- tente Allies had planned a general on- set this spring, the German armies anticipated them and threw their plans "topsy-turvy'', according to a general military survey which is pub hshed in the German press and which has evidently e1ninated from official quarters.
 Our enemies had been preparing for this general onset with all the re- sources at their disposal" says the German summary, land they have never ceased telling us their resources were inexhaustible. Feeling certain of victory in advance, they had herafded their initiative before their own peo- pies and everybody else. The German armies, however, anticipated them and threw their well-matured plan topsy- turvy.
 'sTheir operations as seen from the German side, consisted partly of of

SEEING UNIFIED STATES MAILS.

The renewal of the protest by this country to Great Britain against the seizure and detention of American mails, and especially those from or to neutral nations, makes it certain that this country Is not satisfied with the way in which it is being treated in this respect. It may be that the British in the past have not been sink ing the ships carrying the mails and thereby destroying instead of delay ing as has been the case with Ger many but because one belligerent has done wrong in this respect towards neutrals, 1t does not mean that all those engaged in the war are given the right to disregard their obliga- tions to neutrals even though their offenses are lighter.
 Such a course as Great Britain has followed in the war has been far more considerate than Germany's, but that does not mean that it should be tolerated. There are good reasons for believing that the British action has been prompted by the efforts which have been made to use the mails for carrying goods to Germany past the blockade which it has established, but that does not warrant the course Wnlcn mas been taken Tn QOlQ1ng up all mails, and in delaying mails be- tween neutrals whether they are bound for Europe or this country. Certainly American bound mails are not carrying goods to the central pow CTS and they ought not to be subject ed to such treatment as they have been receiving.
 Great Britain, however, when it pleads that it's action has been made necessary by the German attitude, does no better than Germany when it claimed it adopted its submarine pol icy because of the blockade which the allies established. In both in- stances it is the neutral that suffers and does so without justification. Thus the protest should be firmly and pointedly made and the imposition stopped.

Talk about control of the drug habit and the drug traffic has been in the public press of the city and state for some years. The police have started out several times to "clean up" the of- lenders. The state has tried it's hand, semi official public bodies have started attempted to suppress it, but the drug selling and using continues.

OTHER VIEW POINTS

Speaking of the Hon. Thomas M. Waller, one is reminded that he is Connecticut's leading relic of mili- tant Democratic party in Connecticut. He can place former before his name for more important offices than almost any other man. certainly more than any other Democrat. He is the only living Democrat in the state who ever secured a majority vote of its citizens for governor, if memory is correct. That was back in 1862. This makes MT. Waller the oldest living former governor. He is also the old est living former secretary of state, having served in that office forty six years ago. Still again he is the old est living speaker, presiding over the house in 1876.-Bridgeport Post.
 A former Meriden man, now a prominent citizen in New Britain, w. L.

The public does not realize how great is the death loss due to tres passing. The official statistics show that in years when 300 passengers and 5000 employees are killed in railroad operations, 5000 or more trespassers are killed, mostly while walking the tracks. They are knocked over one at a time and the iccidents do not at tract the same attention as a collision or derailment. Yet the total for the year is more horrible. The victims are not mostly tramps or worthless characters, either The records show that most of them are useful mem bers of the community. The public should reform itself.-Waterbury Re- publican.

Unfortunately the city ice plant will not be ready to relieve the situa- tion this summer. Why it should be easy to spend millions for Warrenite, and hard to spend few thousand for an ice plant is for the authorities, who are so swift in one case and so slow in the other, to explain. This plant ought to be regarded as part of the program to make Bridgeport a good place to live in.

Up to date, the moving picture the atres of New Britain have shown films that are detrimental to the morals. of young people. There is no gainsaying this fact. It would seem then that the managers of the local moving picture houses would take warning, would do something to prevent the demolishing of their own business. Many people are not going to the movies" be- cause they are not sure just what kind of an entertainment will be presented, are not sure they will be given good, clean, wholesome entertainment. Even in some of the advance notices of films there is the tendency to play upon the emotional drama, to gently hint that what will be shown will smack of the salacious. This is done ostensibly for the purpose of drawing people to the playhouses. While it may lure a cer- tain class, 1t has the effect of keeping the better classes away. This is where the managers of these theatres should exercise foresight and stem the onrushing tide.-New Britain Herald.

Five motorcycle policemen are now on duty in Bridgeport for the summer season. We think the police board would make no mistake if it increased this number to ten. While it is true that the principal usefulness of the motorcycle officers lies in their ability to handle infractions of the automo- bile law, it should not be forgotten that they are useful in all other as- poets of police duty as well. A mo- more ground than an officer on foot torcycle policeman can cover infinitely and he can get to a scene of disorder in a great hurry when wanted. We believe that if the records of the mo- torcycle policemen in Bridgeport are examined it will be found that their total of arrests, entirely aside from violations of traffic laws, are better than totals of the average foot pa- trolman. In other words they justify themselves by regular police service entirely apart from their special du- ties as regulators of automobile traf- fic. The presence of ten motorcycle officers in Bridgeport, patroling at all times the principal highways of the city, would exercise an extremely ben eficial influence on the automobilists i But that there would be a great dea- less speeding under the circumstances goes without saying.-Bridgeport Tel egram.

When a nei9hbor tells us that he

arises is, How long will he keep

thing, but a lasting cure is altogether
different. There is nothing tenn
porary about the work of Doan

Point evidence proves beyond
doubt.

complaint. My back was sore and
weak and had dizzy spells. I had
bad pains in my head. The kidney
secretiOns were unnatural and had

Pills helped me in every way.
know they are a splendid medicine"
The above statement was given
Jan. is. 1911. and OVER THREE
YEARS LATER Mrs. Clapp added:

for my kidneys since I used Doan's
Kidney Pills. I am glad to confirm
every word of my former endorse
ment."
