 WhitneyvilleA Conn.,"
 That is the letter, just as 1t was writ ten by the man whom I, with millions of others of my fellow citizens, idoliz- ed. And yet this man who is really one of the greatest of Americans, has deserted the very. principles which he so strongly advocated in this letter. And not only that, but he also desert ed thousands and thousands of hon est, sincere followers, whom he can not lead back into the ranks of those men whom he himself denounced as "ship scuttlers," +second story men," thieves" and 'liars.'
 It will be noted that in his letter, Colonel Roosevelt said: we stand ab- solutely for our platform; we believe in applying the principles of that plat form to party management as well as to the government If MT. Roosevelt really believes to-day what he said in 1913, then Progressives can never re- concile his attitude when he wrote the letter and his attitude at the present time. For the same old ring which he repudiated in 1912 and the ring which controls the Republican party CO-Qay are one aIlu tIIc Se1IuS. Ol liAO other hand, the Democratic party, un- der Woodrow Wilson's leadership, has inculcated practically all of the prin- cipal blanks of the Progressive party in the Democratic party platform, as well as having legislated into law many progressive measures. The Republican party, on the other hand, through its presidential candidate and stand-pat leaders, is even now advocating the repudiation of these very progressive measures.
 Colonel Roosevelt also said in the letter, as will be noticed: '"There is no place in our ranks for the boss, for the man who represents the alliance be- tween privilege in business and priv ilege in politics. Yet he deserted this very principle when he once again aligned himself with Tart, Root, Shoot, Penrose, Crane, Cannon, Guggenheim, Barnes and the rest, to say nothing of the Rorabacks Eatons and Ullmans of our own state. It should be need less for me to call the attention of Con- necticut Progressiyes to the fact that this is the same old boss element which repudiated the will of the Re- publican party in 1912, and the same old boss element which sat as dumb as oysters at, the Republican convention at Chicago last June while the Repub- lican rank and file yelled itself hoarse for 41 minutes demanding the nomina- ton of Theodore Roosevelt. But the rank and file were denied then just as they were in 1912. And despite all this, despite Colonel Roosevelt's state
 nent fin the letter to the effect: There is no place in our ranks for the boss" he has gone back to tho party which is still boss-controlled. and which has furnished more political bosses than all other parties combined in the whole political history of our country. But no real, red-blooded Progressive will follow even the Colonel this time. al- though it may be true that some erst- while Prpgressives, men who never really were Progressives but who al-

fold. One branch of it is directed toward the resumption of the sub marine campaign, which is felt to be the only effective naval weapon against Great Britain. The other now has developed openly and avowedly into a movement against the chancel- Tor, Dr. VOn Bethmann-H HollWeg, largely on the ground of international politics.
 Some judges of the situation, passing their opinion on the extent and vigor Of the agitation, are inclined to be- EeVe the movement will lead not later than September to a revival of the submarine campaign on the old lines Recent inquiries by the AssC- ciated Press in authoritative quarters indicate, however. that the govern ment for the present has no intention Of resuming the freedom of action" mentioned in the May note and of pro- volling conflict with the United States.
 Unwilling to ProIong War.
 One reason for this decision, which tends to become stronger the longer the war Is continued, is the desire to avoid any new measure which might rrolong the war Another is based on
 
 present administration now is so closely bound up with the submarine issue that a reversal of policy would entail opposition from wide, influen- tial groups of political leaders and powerful personages in the adminis- tratiOn.
 The situation in this respect has changed sharply since winter. It then seemed as if the ChancellOr'S policy of moderation had scarcely friend in Germany outside of the socialists and part of the progressive party, but since then the issue has been sharply drawn and asfull realiza- ton has come that one purpose of the agitation was to down the chancellor.
 The influential Catholic center party has enrolled itself almost solidly in his support, the south Ger man states have lined up firmly be- hind him, and these sections of public opinion which have reason to fear conservative domination of the ad- ministration have made their choice between submarine and junkers and have joined the chancellOr's party.
 Navy Wants Fighting.
 The navy, too, has had its taste of real fighting, is anxious for another hattie with the British fleet, and is devoting all it's energies and attention to preparing for 1t so that the old inn patience Of navy officers for action has become a less prominent factor in the movement
 All in all the clouds over German American relations now are less lowering than for a long time.

SOME GOOD ADVICE
Strengthened By New Britain EXperi-
 enCcS

Kidney disease is too dangerous to neglect. At the first sign of backache, heada che, dizziness or urinary disor- ders, you should give the weakened kidneys prompt attention. Eat little meat, take things easier and use a re- liable kidney tonic. There's no other kidney medicine so well recommend ed as Doan's Kidney Pills. New Brit ain people rely on them. Here's one of the many statements from New Britain people.
 Mrs. A. w. Plumb, S2 Elm street, New Britain, says: ''Doans Kidney Pills have given good satisfac- tion whenever l have used them. The pain across my back and shoulder causes considerab ble annoyance. It seems I am bothered more or less by my kidneys during the winter months. Doan's Kidney Pills correct this trouble I consider them very good and worthy of recommendations

Agitation in Germany for Greater
 Use Of Former Weapon

Berlin, July 5, Via London, July G. The campaign in favor of the resump- ton of full-f1edged submarine war Cn commerce goes energetically for ward. Reports from all sections of the country indicate this. Never a day passes without articles in various newspapers to remind the people that according to the German note, the modification of German submarine methods merely was temporary and contingent upon a modification of the British blockade.
 Advocates of the Unrestricted tor pedo" appear at every political gather ing regarded as suitable soil for their seed. Various newspapers in sym pathy with the movement have alm ost daily a rubric for what they call British postal robberies,' and ever and again attention is called to the fact that the blockade has not under gone the slightest modification since the despatch of the latest German note.

''TTPPERARY" FOR FUNERAL.
Ierman, Sentenced to Death, Hears
 Tune But Does Not Eat.

Trenton, N. J., July 6.-Emil Sven tamin, a German, who was electrocut- ed in the state prison last evening for the murder of John Boston. a wealthy Farmingdale farmer, spent his last three hours on earth listening to a photograph play "Tipperary.' He died with a smile on his lips after the priests who accompanied him to the chair had prevailed upon him not to make a speech.
 Swentamin refused to eat his last dinner, though he was told he might have anything he wished. He begged for the photograph, and had the "Tipperarp" record played over and over. His chief regret when 1t came time for him to walk to the chair seemed to be that he could not hear the tune just once more.
 Three shocks of 1900 volts killed him in seven minutes. He leaves a, wife and two children in Germany
