BRIrIsH SEA SUPREMACY

According to the speech which Kali ger Wilhelm made to the sailors at Wilhelmshaven he is quoted as say l1ng that the great naval battle off Jutland has destroyed Great Britain's supremacy on the sea. Such is claim that jibes well with the first news of the fight which came from Berlin and which showed Germany to have crushingly defeated the enemy. to have sent to the bottom some of the most valuable and powerful ships of the leading naval power in the world and to have administered a blow against a stronger adversary from which the British would not be likely to recover. It may have been upon such am understanding that the kaiser based his words to the brave German sailors. but there have been revelations since which have entire iy changed opinion regarding that battle. for instead of engaging a su- pericr foe and wiping it off the sea Germany appears to have been the stronger up to certain time and when the reserves were brought up it was forced to flee and return to its hiding place.
 The kaiser may consider that Great Britain has lost the supremacy of the sea but he doesn't claim that Germany has gained control even o1 the North sea. He cannot maintain after a study of all reports, and the inaistence of Great Britain that Ger many lost as many vessels as it did that Germany is stronger than 1t was Tt hos demonstrated that it can fight on sea as well as on land but tht kaiser is not prepared to say that thu crushing of the sea supremacy oi The British means that the blockad, has been removed and that German shipping will be resumed, all of whicl might be expected if such a thint hnd taken place. Germany has un queationably put big dent in tn British navy but it received a sirni lar one in return which would leav them both weaker but relatively a strong.

ENCOURAGE pYEMAlllNo.

Great Britain hes let 1t be known that 1t intends to hold tho hlociade tighter than ever against the sxpcr- tafion Of German products. This Is of course supposed to include the shipment of dyestufRs, a certain auap- tity of which has come from Ger- many to this country by as1eezaenkl Of Great Britain. TO cut tllls off en- tirely is only what must have been anticipated hy this country long ago and for the purpose Of bringing this government to the realization Of the situation and the necessity of build Ing rp this industry in this cDun- try instead Of trying to depend upon Germany for aniline dyes, lt would have been the best thing had Great Britain shut the expartatfop of such goods off entirely at khe start.
 If this German product. upon which so much dependence has been placed in the past, had been cut off entirely the need of relying upon and deve1- received greater recognition. Great Britain was In much the same poHi- ton as this country. k depended up- on the cheap product of German 1Ac- tories, but it has set about the sofu- ton of this problem and today one large concern which has gone into the dyemaking business on an extensive scale is furnishing over half the quan- tity of dyes that was formerly im- ported It Is also turning out many of the other products associated with that industry.
 This country can make dyes as
 well as Germany. It can even secure l the aid of dye makers from abroad If it is necessary, but it needs legis- | lative encouragement through the protection which such would give to l the capital which would have to be 1 invested. England's problem in the development of new industry was even greater than what would be
 faced by this country because of the increased demands which are put up- on it in other directions. Capital in
 this country stands ready to solve
 the difficulty if it gets the proper as-
 sistance ana that is no more than
 what ought to be extended.

Stories of the War
The Musicians in War.

Since the beating of the drums that called France to arms, comparatively little martial music has been heard at the rear. Those who have been allow ed in the zone of the armies have oc- casionalIy met a regimental band with drums and brass instruments slung over their shoulders, p1oddolng along the road toward the first line; music ianS go with ;t1e combatants and are subject to all the dangers of the war.
 The strains o3 the Marseillaise one day revealed the presence of regi-
 mental band among the ruins of a town Etin lander bonEbardmenk and close enough to the German lines to require measures against gas. All the musicians had their masks on, giv- ing them 8 grotesQue appearance but not interfering with their lung power.
 The CoidstIeam Guards Band, direct from Arras, and the Royal Italian Car Ebineers Band, fresh from the Isonzo, brought a little Of the atmosphere of the front to the Trocadero recently
 and reminded Paris of the martial strains that stirred the city during the first days of the war. They were greeted by big crowds with the same enthusiasm as prevailed on the boule- wards in the memorable first week of August, 1914. The immense auditor
 announced hour for the opening. The bandsman at the front is not a mere musician; after inspiring tale troops with martial strains and when | the shot and shell have done their work, he drops his instrument and with the Red Cross on his sleeve, goes out over the field to pick up the wound | ed. Sometimes he helps to bury the l dead, and in some emergencies he | brings up supplies and ammunition. l At the assault of Vauquois in Febru- l ary, 1915, the band of a regiment was ordered to execute the Marseillaiss from shelter, but at the moment of the charge the colonel assigned an uncov- standing target for the enemy, only 300 yards away, but continued none l the less ardently it's mission; 1t play. ed the Marseillaise eight times dur.

 A few days later the musicians of {

PRoFIrINe FROM PREVENTION.

When the enormous losses by fire running well up into4t the hundreds of millions each year, are considered it cam be appreciated that there is an opportunity for overcoming a large amount of waste if check is placed thereon either through prevention of Tho causes or greater efficiency in lighting the fires.
 rnaamuch as a remedy is preferable to a cure, the former method is to be desired both from the standpoint of results and economy. Thus when it is announced that there was a reduc- ton in the fire loss of the United States md Canada for the year 1915 Of 252. .000, 900 there are good reasons for believing that the merits of fire prevention are being studied and prof. ltahIe advantage gained by insisting on the enforcement of such ideas.
 This iu but one bit of evidence as 70 what can be and should be done in reducing the many disastrous fires which occur in this country. Europe doea mot experience such great losses os take place here simply because there la not such disregard for fire aanRers due, to the { fact that such narelessnesa as tgs to be found here is not tolerated. }t While this reduction ln ara loss, amounting to about z the same sum as this country receives through the present. tariff ion sugar lirnrortat tions, may not be .entirelys due Go the work \ of < fpreventionists, there can be little question but what c a largS pAxt of! it is,a and kunder normal acon- did0ns che good effects yarek bound ats aaowa ups each .g4ar.

Makina an ArtesIan Wen Pump ItseIf.

The field men of the United States
 Geological Survey, in their investiga- tions of the ground water resources of the Virginia. Coastal Plain, have ob- served that the flows from many ar tesian wells in that region are utilized to drive hydraulic rams for the pur- pose of lifting the water to higher lew els. Along the lower courses of the Potomac and Rappahannock and along the shores of the many inlets that run back from Chesapeake Bay, above the James there are hundreds of artesian wells that supply a perennial flow of beautifully clear water which is, as a rule, excellently adapted to all domes- tic uses and is largely utilized by the canning factories and other industrial
Norwich bulletin., 1916-06-09

establishments that abound in that part of the country. Though the pres sure of the water from the wells is ample at the shore level, the head diminishes so quickly with increase in elevation that no flow can be obtained along the higher banks above the shores where the water is most need ed One method of obtaining 1t at these higher levels is to use the force developed by the artesian flow to op- crate hydraulic rams, which in turn. raise the water. to the heights desired along the bluffs above the river and inlets. Thus it may be said that the artesian wells pump themselves.

As regards the future possibility of making New Haven, under Yale's in- fiuence one of the greatest musical centers in the United States, Samuel Kronberg, under whose direction sDie WaIkure' was presented Tuesday, eve- Eing, said: "In my mind New Haven, with it's Yale Bowl, is the most log teal center for growth in open-air musical appreciation and production of all the American cities. There are In New Haven two essentials for s1lc- cess in the open air work; first, the community is compact enough to take a warm interest in it, whereas the civic pride of the larger cities cannot be as easily aroused for a. thing of this lsind and secondly, New Haven pos-
 sesses the finest ampit4lestre in the
 world for the staging of out-dooF opera. Yale must take the lead in firmly establishing opera here as a pernanents feature of the cownmuni- l tyes life. To show what faith I haxe in Yalefs capacity to be- tha parent of I these worthy attaiumenks, will defan- 1 itely state that next year, # this years opera meets with success, we will bring to the bowl the entire four pro- dlHctions of Wagners 'sRing.n We only need to feel assured that Yale undergrad d11afeS ara enthusiastic about

Major Danford of the Vale Battalion

Major Danford of the Yale Battalion announced that an effort was being made to take the batteries to Platts- burg for their summer training. The government is anxious to make the best possible use of the work which the Yale Battalion has done this win- ter. and attempts are being made to secure horses enough for one or two batteries. If this can be done, the members of the Yale Battalion will be used as field artillery unit at Platts- burg. At the meeting it was also an- nounced that a bill is now awaiting tbie signature of the president, which will enable university students, who have had two-years, course in such subjects as the chemistry of explo- sfves, economies, history, and mathe- Eaatics and have served two sum- Tners in training camps, to receive a commission in the reserve army. At the close of the meeting it was an- nounced that Professor Hiram Bing- ham had offered cup, costing $100, for the largest class enrolment in mill itary training camps. In addition to the large cup individual miniature cups will be given to every member Of the winning class who attends the Plattsburg camp atais summer.

 thing possible to help the Plattsburg recruits As regards nlilitarism in the United States, General Wood said: T
