The many rurnoCs about the Bremen
 are well calculated to employ the max
 imum number of the British fleet for
 purposes of interception. The sub-
 marine fleet now has warehouse at
 Baltimore and another at New London.
 Still others may be established. The

 There are still twenty eight nations
 in the international permanent court of
 arbitration of The Hague which have yet an opportunity to join the conflict
 so no one should conclude that all is
 lost yet. After they have accomplished
 their purpose of annihilating the Teu-
 tonic and Turkish states, the rest of Europe will probably feel quite com
 petent to band themselves together for
 the perpetuation of such peace as will follow the cessation of conflict with the
 kaiser and his allies. Then there may be a new permanent court estab-
 lIshed, which, perhaps, will be more re-
 spected as a court than it's predecessor Waterbury Republican.
 In a Danbury court carpenter claimed to have put an extra door in house which he was building for which
 he demanded extra pay and brought suit. The defendant said there was
 no extra door put in. The judge took a recess Of court and all the parties visited the house. They couldn't find the door which had been put in. The judge reserved his decision. We should be curious to see it. Did some one take the door away? Didn't he leave a hole or something? Why did the haGi+otAp o door or there wasn't. If there had been ore, but it was gone. there ought to be the place where it had been. It is l the withholding of the courts decision which interests us. Why wasn't the 1 absence of the door conclusive ?-

 There is an excellent reason for keeping a large number of troops in their home camps, if we are really to have a national railroad strike. They will be needed, all of the na- 1 tional guard left, to meet the demands of the transportation situation should the break come. We all know of the
 grave disorders that have arisen in past strikes on the railroads and how { it has taken the heavy, stern, impartial hand of the regular army to COW the disturbers. The regular army IS not now available but possibly it can be made available by the substitution of guardSmen and the freezing Of the trained troops. Certainly the nation would breath easier, if it knew that thcIs' were some regiments of the regular army ready to cope with and quell any violation of the law that might arise or any defiance of the | orders of the government. | Sentinel.
 Postponing the opening of public { schools in New Britain because Of the present wave of infantiIe paralysis will
 bring joy to the hearts of many boys and girls. Aside from that phase of | the question the action of the school authorities, confirmed upon confer ance with the health department, will meet with the approval of all parents 1 who hold dear the lives of their Mttle ones. Although there is but one re- 1 ported case Of this dread disease in the city at present, the children who l have come in contact with inhabitants 1 of neighboring states on their vaca- i lions may bring back the germs that l once spread cannot be easily stopped It would seem the part of prudence for the private schools of this city to
 follow the lead set by the men and women wEo have charge of the pub | lie schools. The original date for 1 opening the schools had been placed i as the day after Labor day, September 1 ,. The action of the school board
 now fixes the opening one week later, | or Tuesday, September 12. One week taken from the regular scholastic cur riculum will not hinder the progress l of pupils. It will safeguard the health 1 of tho community because it gives the health authorities time in which 1 facted regions.--New Britain Herald.
