NIT. Bryan as a PrOhibitionist.
 <n.5 T,<

The suggestion of MT. Bryan as the prohibition party's candidate for president is not quite as fantastic as it may seem.
 The eX-secretary has long been veering in the direction of political prohibition, and now that he can no longer hope for his old position of ir f1uence and leadership in the demo- cratic party, he may see, or think he sees, in the coId-water organization d promising opportunity to recoup his fortunes, or at least to keep himself in the public gaze.
 The prohibitionists have been voting for presidential candidates every four years since 1872. They have never yet polled three hundred thousand votes in any one year. With Mr. Bryan as their nominee, they might break the record-who can tell!
 But it is possible that even if the cX-secretary desired the nomination he would not receive it. For at last accounts the Honorable William Sulzer and the Honorable Eugene Noble Foss were suspected of designs upon it.
 It would be one of the curiosities of American politics if these eminent ex-democrats-or shall we say eX- eminent democrats ?-were to be con- testing candidates for the prohibition ist leadership at the St. Paul con- vention in July.

Detroit, home of those patented gasoline rattlers and the man who makes 'em, had a real taste of in- vasion when the high priest of pre- peredness told the pusillanim pussy-footing pacifists what he thought of them. The Colonel was in. the enemy's country, and he knew it. If it hadn't been enemy country he wouldn't have been there. He didn't try to deny or to explain the perverse action of a considerable element in the community that had voted for Henry Ford in the recent primaries. His purpose was to clear up the mis- take, to show the peace-at-anypr price voters the error of their ways. Our guess is that he succeeded in no un- certain measure.

TO FRANCE AND GREAT BRITAIN

Seizures or United States mails by France will no longer be tolerated by this government. Such is the gist of the joint note addressed to these two offenders by the State Department, in which the Administration demands that interference with mails passing between the United States and other neutral countries immediately cease.
 It is fitting that this masterful stroke of diplomacy on the part of our State Department is delivered after the controversy with Germany has been practically cleared up. All along. in the dealings of the United States with the belligerents abroad, the policy of those oyer the seas has been to iOstle and shove responsibility from one to another when neutral rights have been violated. Germany was loath to concede to neutral rights unless Great Britain and her allies were brought to task. Great Britain and France have been sitting in the background, gloating over the incon- venience caused to their enemy be- cause of the demands made by the United States. Now the scores are evened up. Great Britain and France have been told what is what. Further than that, every argument they might advance has been forestalled, every insinuation they might cast against Germany on this phase of the war situation has been removed. For the instances of the disastrous results wrought to American citizens by the policy of Great Britain and France in holding up the mails, very appro- never been guilty of violating the mandates of international law in this instance Germany has desisted from the practice of interfering with neu- tral mails, even those caught on board belligerent steamers. An illustration is given in the case of a French steam CT captured by the German auxiliary
 cruiser Prince Eitel Friedrich, which is at present interned at Newport News, Va. Shortly after arrviing in Hampton Roads the commander of that ship forwarded IA sacks of French mail to their destination with out so much as opening them. Thus | is it shown that the interferencCs with
 neutral mails are wrong in principle and in practice, and the good faith of Germany in the premises should go a long way in appealing to the good sense of Great Britain and France. There can be no pointing the finger of scorn at Germany on their part, there can be no shifting of responsi- bility.
 In plain, every day English, the United States has caught Great Britain and France with the goods. It is for them to decide the future course of their ways in this matter, for every precedent established in the last one hundred years has been brought for ward and in every instance they are shown to be in the wrong. The two governments are admonished that only

 If the present war ends in a draw, if there is an arrangement on the basis of the map, as the German Chancellor suggests it will be a truce and a post ponement only.

Sewage disposal in New Britain continues to be a salient factor in the city administration. Mayor Quigley, after consulting with various engi- neers of prominence has been advised to try the sludge system, but before urging the city to install such a sys- tenn it has been suggested that few thousand dollars be spent on an experimental station with this system. The system itself is simple and it is said to have worked out admirably at Milwaukee where it was installed at a cost of only $65,000. Next month the mayor expects to visit that west ern city and will himself inspect the plant. Briefly, however, the sludge system is this:

While there are hundreds of graves of old soldiers in the local cemeteries and while of course many Civil war veterans were killed in battle, Spanish War veterans say that but two ot their number died from the enemies bullets. Davis and Palmer, two To- cal boys serving under Gen.

Their bodies were later brought homo and they were accord" ed one of the biggest military funer- als ever held here. But all the rest of the Spanish War veterans who died met their death either by accident at home or away and from illness here or at camp.
