have a safe party majority in
the senate and Will have things
well in hand in the house from
the fact there are numerous
progressive republicans who
support the president on eco
monte subjects.
Therefore it is a foregone
conclusion there will be no
scuttling of the beneficial laws
enacted during the last four
years. Changes there may be
but they will be Of a nature to
improve and not repeal legis-
lation put through under the
first Wilson term. So the coun-
try will have a real Opportun-
ity to see the workings Of the
federal reserve law, the rural
credits measure, shipping law
and tariff commission.
Despite the efforts of Wall
street and the apparent knit
ing of Wilson by Murphy, Tag
CART and Sullivan the country
is to have four years more of
progressive rule. The country
will be under the control of
forward looking men," not
the reactionaries.
1t was a great victory though
the result was close.

coal gas in 1915 was 1913, 103,-
S46,000 cubic feet, valued at
S48, 882 GOT, an increase COM
pared with 1912 of As per cent
in quantity and SO per cent in
value. Water gas enriched
with oil, or carbureted water
gaS, is more generally used in
cities than coal gas and form
ed about A per cent of the to-
tai quantity of artificial gas
sold in 1915.
In California, Arizona and
Oregon nearly all the artificial
gas is made from oil and in
some other states there are
oil-gas plants. The quantity
of oil gas manufactured and
sold in the United States in
1915 was an increase, COM
Pared with 1912, of Is per cent
in quantity and II per cent in
value. The average value of
oil and water gas in 1915 was
80 cents per 1000 cubic feet,
compared with 80 cents for
coal gas from retorts.
1t is not possible to procure
complete figures showing the
sale of artificial gas for various
uses, for the reason that in
many cities the gas for illumi-
mating and for fuel is not me
tered separately. The stats
tics collected by the Geological
Survey for 1912 showed that
az per cent of the artificial gas
sold was used for Illuminating.
The statistics collected fol-
1915 show that 80 per cent OF
the gas sold was used for il
Illuminating, AZ per cent for do
nestle fuel, and % per cent for
industrial fuel.

The Responsibility.
(New Haven Journal Courier. )


 While this is no time to chide 9 neighbOr, we cannot refrain from ex- pressing surprise at these words taken from an editorial in the otherwise ex- cellent columns of the Waterbury American: But there is time yet, be- fore duty imposes silence, to place the responsibility for this condition of unpreparedness where it belongs so that the country may understand what 1t means in the face of Q little war and insist that 1t be not allowed to continue against the possibility of a great one" ss~
 We have no desire to lift from the shoulders of the administration in power it's share of the responsibility for the country's lack of preparation. It might have seen more clearly and prepared more wisely, but it has at no time lain within it's power to place the country in a state of complete preparedness. With such efforts as it might have made from the moment of it's taking power it could not have advanced the nation to point of defense much more sat isfactory than it has reached at this moment. It had not only it's own shortsightedness to deal with, with it's o"ll ulldCcOStOlHeu IedulDR or cur rent events in the language of rnili- tary thought, but 1t had the short sightedness of the administrations which had immediately preceded it to cope with. To go no further back than the administration of Theodore Roosevelt, that distinguished gentle man after service in the Spanish war brought to the consideration of the congress no lesson of unpreparedness Tn fact, he reduced the army by five thousand men and made no substan- tial additions to the navy His suc- cessor. MT. Taft who had served as secretary of war, brought no new light to shed upon the need of an exten- sve system of national defense. This was the condition when Mr. Wilson took office.
 In other words 1t Is grossly unfair to hold the administration in power responsible for the state of unpre- paredness. It is entirely within the bounds of reason for those so dis posed to hold all administrations for a generation responsible for the shortcomings now complained of.

Czern0Witz Was Formerly
 Un1nrb0rfanf Turkish 1OWn

Washington, June 2S.--Czernowitz, in which the War-news reading public has had little interest for many months, is again taking it's place in the headlines of the day owing to the Russian drive along the Austrian east front. The Bukowina capital is the subject of today's war geography bull letin of the National Geographic so- oiety, issued at Washington, which says:
 with 8 population of nearly sO,- 900, Czernowitz, the most easterly city of importance in the Austro- Hungar- ian empire. lies only a few miles west of the point where the boundary lines of the Austrian croWnland of Buko- wina, the kingdom of Roumania, and the Russian province of Bessarabia converge. It is situated on an eleva- tion overlooking the Pruth river, which rises in the Carpathians and after course of 800 miles enters the lower Danube near Galatz. The Pruth is navigable only as far as Jassy, which is nearly two hundred miles below Czernowitz.
 "CzernoWitz owes it's present-day importance to the severance of the province of Bukowina from Turkey and it's incorporation as a part of Austria in 1775. Up to that time the town was an unimportant village, but when it became the capital of the new crownland, which has an area about half as large as the state of New Jer- sey, with a population of three-quar- ters of a million, it's future was as- sured. At the time of the outbreak of the present war it was thriving com mercial center with splendid modern public buildings and was especially notable for the number and variety of its ecclesiastical structures, the Greek

Order of the Yellow Ribbon.
(Meriden Record).


 The nucleus of a new order was started Sunday in the camp of the Maryland National Guard. One hun dred and forty men refused to take the oath required under the new law. Their comrades tied Yellow Ribbons on them and kicked them out of camp to the accompaniment of de- rtsive shouts There go the Yellow Streaks!"
 We have no desire to see that sort of order grow in this country but, now that the loyal militamen Of Maryland have suggested 1t. there is no lack of material for such a dis reputable organization. It could take In the fool Pacifsts: the Pork Barrel yaps in congress, who oppose all eff forts to place national defenses in de- cent condition; the Henry Fords among employers, who penalize pa trlotisn, and many others
 Let us hope that the serious con- ditfons which confront the American people today will bring the Yellow Ribboners to their sense and render unnecessary further and maybe moro potent, limitations into the new order.

An Exhibit of Unprcparedness.
Providence Journal. )


 Whatever may "eVCntuato"--a word dear to the diDlomats-thC American people, facing real trouble over Mex ico, are fortunate in the instruction afforded by the presidents summons to the forty eight little armies" to be prepared to support the regular army in the worst eventuality.
 The sudden call was not for Bryan mob of "a million men, be- tween sunrise and sunset,'' but only for a hundred thousand already in khaki, and on paper organized for the national defence. After seven sunrises and sunsets arc there as many as twenty-five thousand ready-de- pendably trained, and completely equipped to take the field?
 The glaring fact is that the coun- try is unprepared even for such a war as the occupation and policing of Northern Mexico would amount to.
 The menace of hostilities is apt to be unexpected; and now, as on every occasion previous, it finds us lacking in about everything except a dogged determination to win if we must fight.
 Cavalry without mounts, artillery with horses that would stampede at the bark of it's own guns, infantry for @ great part strangers to rifle range we need not fear that the General Staff will "rush'' the National Guard into Mexico.
 There is no need for haste, luckily. Mexico will not be removed from the map while the state armies are being fashioned into an army of the United States. And, prudent counsels may l,,@ <l ,os., and swashbucklers among Mexico's distrac cted sixteen millions, warning them against the coming of the day when our preparations shall be com pleted.
 Having mobilized the National Guard at the state camp grounds, what is the next step? There are probably troops enough, sufficiently fit, to patrol such strategic crossings along the border as General Funston must immediately take care of. For the rest, why should they not be mobilized for completing their train ing in Texas?
 The war department seems to have some such program in mind. An Ore- gon battalion has already been or dered to San Diego, there to await further instructions. Most of the Massa chusetts troops at Birmingham will entrain today, probably to com plete their preparation at the San Antonio base.
 On paper the military forces Army and National Guard. have for some time been organized in tactical di- twelve of them. The mobile militia of the New England states, for example, is all included in one division, with it's nucleus of regu- lars. The present exigency offers a favorable opportunity to put into eff feet this paper plan of preparedness.

COngressmcn In The Army.
 (BridgepOrt POst).

If there is nothing in the constitu- tion to prevent it, no absolute prohi- bition, then senators and members of congress should be allowed to hold their positions while serving in the army during the war times. This question comes up at the present time because there are members of both branches of congress, in the militia, who have responded to the call of duty in that direction and who may be sworn in to the Federal service as war needs demand.
 One of these congressman is John Q. Tilson of New Haven, who Is lieutenant colonel of the Second Regi- ment. He is a man of long service In the National Guard. He has always taken a keen interest in it's welfare and his experience in that service made him a member of the commit tee on military affairs, where he has been useful.
 It is indeed a strange law in cOur- try governed by the people that prac- tically punishes one class of citizens for enlisting in the country's service. No other country governed by the people has such a restriction. More than one hundred members of parlia- ment in Great Britain have enlisted and gone into service and no one thinks of retiring them from member ship. The same Is true of the French legislative body.
 The only provision in the federal constitution which can be applied to this matter Is found in the last part Section 6, Article 1, which reads, land no person holding any office 11n- der the United States shall be a mem Der of either house during his con- tinuanco in office"

furnishing of comforts, are worthy of
 the highest commendation and ex-
 pressions of thankfulness on every
 hand. The mayor has accepted the
 propositions of several boards and
 lain aside the proposed improvements
 in order that the money for those may
 be placed in the fund. It will prob- ably be necessary that the common legalize it but it undoubtedly will. The mayors actions in the few days since the possibility of war is inlmi- nent have proven that his heart is in the right place during this crisis. He seems to have put aside any effort for political aggrandizement and have turned his attention to the furthering of the support the President for your country's sake" sentiment despite the fact that many are taking this opportunity to further the political ends of their party. Peanut politics and Mexico may be found in the same bag where many individuals are con- cerned. Unfortunately no matter who is chosen president next fall the pres ent conditions in Mexico will exist un- less immediate steps are taken to remedy them. If Hughes is elected 1t is doubtful if many will return from the front even if the opportunity is given. Democracy is not calling for troops, neither will Republication but thu President of the United States Hoes, akd probably will, whoever he is.
 Meanwhile let the effort to raise monE from every possible source for any possible usage at the front or at home go on. We at home are not leaving our business future to a turn of the wheel and throwing our lives in the balance of fate to fight for the country which has supplied us our needs, let us be as charitable as our condition will permit in every way, by word of mouth and by deed. At least part of our duty will then have been fulfilled.

Encourage the Militia. Norwich Bulletin.)

There is nothing but commendauon holding open their jobs for those who enlist and in some cases keeping up their pay for the benefit of their families, but if there was more of this spirit manifested throughout every year there would not be de- pleted militia ranks or an inadequate state of preparedness, as far as these organizations are concerned.
 It Is the experience of the com manders of military companies every year that many are prevented from enlisting because of the fact that they would be unable to get away from their employment, while those who are already in the ranks have felt obliged to get out when their term of enlistment expired because of the difficulties which were encoun- tered in getting away for the annual tour of duty. Tn normal times 1n- stead of there being a general spirit of encouragement manifested towards the militia, and a recognition of the protection that comes from the maintenance of efficient military or ganizations, there Is apt to be the feeling that the young men cannot be allowed the time off which is required for the summer encampment where they get some of the valuable eX- perience in connection with their duties as militiamen.
 There has been an immediate re- sponse on the part of the national guard of the various states to the presidents call for service along the Mexican border. great many em- ployers have recognized the meaning of this service and are anxious to show their appreciation. It is prob able that these have not been dis posed to handicap the militia at other times, but it Is to be hoped that the example which they have set will serve to inspire others to do likewise. and that in the future greater consideration will be given to those who stand ready at all times to respond to the nations call, and especially since the government has decided to place the state military or ganizations on a more efficient basis.
