THE PRESIDENT AND PEACE.
A Former Roosevelt Man who Is Now
o Wilson Man Has His Say.

To THE EDITOR OF THR SUN-SN:
George 8. Aldrich. whose letter appeared
In the columns of THE Sun or Tuesday
morning. is evidently one Of those fell
lows who are continually telling you of
the mistakes mistakes. mind you. In
his opinion) of our respective represent
t~atives. be they representatives In a
baseball club or Representatives In Con-
gress. seldom mentioning the good
things accomplished by the said repre-
sentatives. This time his criticism IL
directed toward the present Federal Ad-
mInistration, and especially its head.
Mr.. Wilson.
MFR. Aldrich's principal complaint is
that Mr.. Wilson has actually succeeded
In keeping Is out Of war. It's q safe
bet that Aldrich and his kind would be
the last to offer to serve In case this
country required It's men to defend itself.
Mr.. Aidrich Is strong on national self
respect. There IL a self-respect which
It is usually wise for. IA man as we'll as
for a nation to maintain, but It seems
to me this much talked of national
self-respect Is mighty poor pay alongside
of the payment being made by the
various belligerents on the other side of
the ocean.
MIR. Aldrich recites several cases so
admirably handled by Mr.. Roosevelt.
IL 1t fair to assume that because Mr..
Roosevelt got through his several cases
without a scrap" that all other ques-
tions of a similar nature would result
the sam way? IL. as MIR. Aldrich
would have NJ believe, Mr.. Wilson long
ago sacrificed our national self-respect.
why is 1t that all rumors OF peace centre
around this nation as arbitrator?
/ Mr. Aldrich's reference to certain
members OF Mr.. Wilson'S Cabinet Is an
other proof that he tAldrich) doesn't
deal with facts. I doubt whether Mr..
Roosevelt himself can tell how many
Secretaries OF State he had during his
seven years in Office. Surely. there
must be harmony In Mr.. Wilson's Cabi-
net otherwise there would he more
changes in the personnel Of the same,
and where there Is harmony there Is
bound to be efficiency.
was "a Roosevelt man." am now
a "wilson man" I believe In giving all
support possible. II In no other way than
indorsing the work and efforts Of a most
| conscientious man. and l dare say Mr..
Wilson Is all Of that.
trust you will find 1t convenient to
publish his in your paper. for I feel Mr.,
Aldrich's letter is an injustice to our
present Administration. and It is quite
evident that IT emanates from a mind
such as boasts 'I've been a Democrat
FOR forty years" Just as II the Republi-
cans never had a candidate deserving
consideration in all those years.

The Bulgarlans have won the first

the Greclan frontier. The reports
indicate that they have checked tenn
porarily the northern advance OF the
Allies forces and have pushed their
way along the Struma valley almost
to the Greek town Of Sores.
The most important result Of this
military activity will be the effect

SAYS DEER ARE
 KILLED BY THOUSANDS
More Stringent Legislation On Game
 and Fish Asked For.

Colonel w. E. F. Landers, formerly assistant adjutant general of the state. said Monday he believed that since the deer law went into effect In -Au- gust, 1915, there had been between 5000 and 1000 deer killed in Connec- ticut. The number reported to the office of the fish and game commission as killed was 1915. The colonedIs statement was based on the knowledge which he had obtained of the whole sale destruction of the animals while going through the state in the inter est of the Connecticut Fish and Game Protective association. The statement was made at the capitol Monday morn ing which the colonel visited on his way to Windham county. He said that one of the objects of the assOCia- ton was to secure the repeal of the deer law passed at the last session. The association was working in har- mOny with the state fish and game commission and, indeed, the superin- tendent, MT. CramptOn, and Admiral Goodrich, a member of the commits sion, are members of the associa- ton. Senator George P. Mclean, and Frank B. Brandegee, Chief Jus tice Samuel o. Prentice and former Governors and ROIin s. Woodruff are also enrolled as members.
 Efforts will be made to induce the general assembly at the next session to enact more stringent laws for the protection of game and fish, and suggestions will be made by the as sociation of game wardens and pro tectors. It is the opinion of members of the association that the present system is a failure and it is signit- cant that this opinion is held while members of the commission are also members of the association
 Colonel Landers further said that it was quite possible that the asso- citation might take up the matter of the pollution of streams and other waters with the state board of health The diminution in the supply of fish could be traced, he said, to the pollution Of streams as contributory cause. The subject of starlings will also be considered by the association with the view of having them exterminated from the state. Colonel Landers said it was an established fact that the starlings destroyed song birds of the stare and he cited an instance in Portland where Mr. Brainard, a prominent resident of the town, had complained of the star ling nuisance.
 A meeting of the association will be held at the state game farm in Madison, September 15.

LOOKING FOR SPEEDY

Everything in Readiness for U Boat to Discharge Her Cargo at State Ter n7inaI.

Will the famous German sub-sea merchantmen Bremen or a sister ship of similar character be docked at the state steamship terminal within AS hours2 The question is susceptible of two responses: Ja CT Nein That Ja is the correct answer is the announce ment confidently made by persons who claim to be well informed on the movements of the submersible.
 There are indications at the termi- nal that everything Is practically in readiness for the coming of a subna- rtne. Three double bOists have been erected on the outer edge of the pier at points which will be precisely op- posite the hatohcs of an undersea craft of the type of the Deutschland or the Bremen. Inside the warehouse are electric motors which will furnish the power for operating the hoists Cur rent will be obtained from the Con- necttcut Power company, which has already completed che necessary wiring with the exception of connecting the motors.
 Hoists of this character are essential because Q submarine carries no cranes and the unloading Of her cargo must be accomplished from apparatus on the.
