USE OF MEXICAN RAILROADS.

As 1t must have been recognized at the start, one of the problems which has arisen in connection with the pu- nitive Mexican expedition is that of getting supplies to the men under General Pershing, and while every ad- Vantage is being taken of the facili- ties which are afforded by auto trucks the desert country does not afford the best kind of roadbeds for such vehi- cles.
 It is because of this and the fear that it may be necessary to fall back on the army mule for such work that the appeal has been made to Carran- ga for permission to use the Mexican Northwestern railroad for the purpose of carrying supplies to the United States troops. This of course is only what the de facto president might have expected, since it is but an eX- tension of that cooperation which was agreed to at the start, but with none too firm control it can be readily ap- precfated that he must satisfy the Mexican people that he is giving up no more than he is receiving, and this is possible through the granting of like rights to CarranZa to use the railroads of this country, which has been permitted in the past and will be again.
 It can be understood that this coun- try has no rights to the railroads for whatever help it obtains from them if it is secured under the present re- lationship of the United States and Mexico, must come through, the granting of the rights by Carranza But inasmuch as the United States troops are working to the same enc as the first chief there ought to be no serious obstacle in the way o1 granting the request. The expedi- tion thus far has clearly shown that it is, as claimed, not a move for in. terVentton or conquest, but simply z move for the punishment of Villa anG therefore it should be given all the assistance possible

TOO MUCH BAKST

wildly through the crowded city streets, means bursting from my palid lips.
 Since then I have approached my home each night with trembling, not knowing whether I was to be greeted ored with Imogene by threats and sobs and have implored her and also shown my authority and she has gone right on bringing home outrageous samples which she pinned together and sat and eyed and nodded her head over, and had fits of joy and gurgled about how jealous all the other wo- men would be when they viewed her dress and her room.
 Yesterday she brought me home two Bakst neclzties and while I was twirling around like a dancing der wish trying to express my curdled feel ings and threatening to walk out and spend the rest of my life in the deer woods and eat tree bark they tele- phoned Imogene from the stores that they couldn't fill any of her orders for curtain or upholstery or dress mater ials, because there weren't enough dyes on earth. It seems they are us- ing all the dyes over there in the war If those war dyes are like the colors I saw here the effect must be very deadly.
 But her sorrow drove Imogene in- to mysteries and I had to sit up al night bathing her forehead with pur' l pie cologne poured on a lobster hueC washcloth.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOE
suanestion to Old Timer

MT. Editor: In Tuesdays issue of your paper there was a letter from an Old Timer who talked much of ham mering and had his own hammer working to perfection. He seems to be after the mayor in particular, as if he could build roads and sidewalks by talking. The Lord knows he advocated them enough, and has done more for the city in the line of progress than all the mayors together for 20 years back. If he did nothing more than move the freight yard from Franklin square, it would have been glory enough.
 The Old Timer also likes to have a prod at the gas and electric commits sioners, who have been vindicated in public meeting after all the talk about them.
 Another point that shows the narrow mind is the mention of tenement houses on Washington street and Slater place He evidently thinks the common peo- pie have no right or reason to live ir that section, and should have signed the letter an Old Sorehead, as long as he was afraid to sign his own name would suggest that he retire to g quiet corner and mediate on What

BREAD LINES.

There is always to be found too large number of those who believe that the world owes them a living and that they should not accept work un- less they can become a. railroad pres ident or get some job which will net them a good fat salary with the least senblance of soiling their hands. It makes little difference what the de- mand is for labor this class is always to be found depending upon others in- stead of striking out and getting their living for themselves.
 Thus it is that a bread line is not always as great a cause for sympa- thy as might otherwise appear. This has been recently demonstrated in New York city where hundreds are said to be found standing in line at meal times and waiting for such handouts as they can get. It was to these that appeal was made by those seeking help, but contrary to what might be expected the most difficult part of the task was in finding men who were willing to work.
 Existing under such conditions, the belief that such men would jump al an opportunity to earn an honest liv- ing would be justified. but the test SIiOW6u tHdL HAlle out OI ten WHO were able to work preferred to remain ir idleness and sponge on the charity oi those who are willing to dole it out rather than to work for a living ol something better.
 There are many who are in pool health and unfortunate who deserve the assistance which is given through the bread line, but it is seriously doubted whether it is a wise provis. ion which encourages indolency amons able bodied men who refuse to worl when given the chance. In such case! it works greater harm than it doe. good

 90 cents.
 The situation outlined in National Insuredness Through National Pre- paredness," is Of national concern, and so far as Is known, never before had the danger been pointed out of our dependence for munitions of war, for shipbuilding, for railroad wcr1- and all operations into which steel and iron enter. upon the Lake Superior ore supply passing through two short canals which could easily be blocked, or by dynamite be destroyed. It Is an amazing situation that needs only to be studied to awaken us to Q sense of our supineness and our all most criminal folly in permitting such condition to exist. There is only one possible way of changing this con Cition, and that is by a development on a large scale in sections of the country not dependent on Lake Super for ores of an iron and steel industry and of munition-making plants in keeping with the limitless raw ma terials of ore and coal and of the wealth of the country. There is nc other possible safeguard. We cannot | ignore this situation without being guilty of criminal folly.
 In the South and Southwest there must be developed by the financial ana | industrial leaders of the country iror and steel plants, chemical industries armor-making and gun-building con- l cerns able to meet this danger. ol | else the Government should under. | take the work.
 | This is in no sense whatever a sec. | tional question: it is infinitely broader | than any problem relating to any oni | part of our country. It is a question
 which takes hold of the very life O the nation. It offers the only insur
 ance against national death.

Protest from Spraaue.

MT Editor: A committee represent ing the inhabitants of Sprague have sent a protest to the public utilities commission against the eXorbitant fares being charged by the trolley company, which are looked upon as being unrea sonable and against public policy, an encroachment, if you please, upon the inherent rights of the citizens having occasion to travel.
 The company's representative, Mir. Perkins, claims that the raise is only a matter of 20 per cent, or a fare of l S-10 cents per mile. Now we can prove that the fare to Taftville is a l 60 per cent. raise, and in some in stances even 40 and 200 per cent. raises have been fastened upon the l to ask for a 15 per cent. raise they would be looked upon as lot of in | grates, and yet the public is expected to gracefully submit to being charged as much as 3 and 4 cents per mile in | some instances. It would seem as | though the best paying line on the sys- | tenn must be exploited for poorly man. aged and non-paying lines and it be- | hooves the people living adjacent to the, New London and Willimantic line | to protest with the whole force of their l being against a system which Is noth- | ing less than a steal and as such | should be denounced by every labor or ganization in Connecticut.
 The Baltic Mule Spinners' union is already working, and their representa- tives will bring the matter before the | Norwich Central Labor union at the next meeting, and 1t is hoped all lovers of liberty will assist in helping to re- dress the wrongs already noticeable and which put an additional 100 pel l cent. more work on the conductors.

Slowly but surely are revelations being made which indicate that this country Is to come in for it's rightful share of the South American trade. The need of hustling for it was real ized before the war opened, but noth- ing has given it such assistance as the great fight across the water. Even with the increased opportunities which have been disclosed since the summer of 1914 there has not been the efforts made to give such trade the permanency that it deserves, hut there is an increased tendency in that direction which Is most gratifying and gives promise of excellent results
 There has been a careful sounding of South American sentiment on nu- merous occasions. Added facilities for carrying on the financial part of the business have been secured. Better hansporta ion Arrangements have

OTHER VIEW POINTS

New York is blazing the way with a
 bill that calls for the appointment of
 a constabulary force and the freeing
 of the militia from this particular
 form of service to the state. Massa-
 chusetts is likely to follow suit. It would be well for Connecticut next winter to make the same arrange ments and to provide a constabulary
 body that could deal efficiently with any disorders that may arise within
 the state from any cause whatsoever.
 This would let the nation have the service of the militia and it could cas- fly be strengthened under such condi-
 tiOns along regular army lines until
 it could be relied upon to take the field
 at once as a part of the first line of national defense. It is in this way
 only that it can adequately perform it's full function. There has always been
 a strong prejudice against the use of the militia for the suppression of dis order in connection with labor trou- bles. The creation of the constabu- | lary would remove this prejudice and greatly strengthen the sentiment in favor of the guard.-Ansonia Sentinel

THE SPRING CLEAN-uP.

With the snow covering the ground, it may be too early to expect muck in the way of launching a cleanup movement, but it is nevertheless none too soon to get community thought started in that direction.
 Past experiences show that the cleanup campaigns have accomplish ed great good. They have brought about a decided improvement in the appearances of backwards and places which have been used as dumping grounds. They have resulted in the removal of quantities of rubbish which to a large extent would never have been touched otherwise. They have been followed by greater attention to the appearance Of property and streets, and by added interest not only in cleaning up public and pri- vate grounds for the time being but 1n encouraging such work to the end that it has been kept up throughout the year. It has set an example tC many who have been quick to appre- ciate the benefit and add to it by theil participation, and from it all there has been a contribution to sanitary conditions which cannot be disre- garded. It is the improvement there fore not only from the aesthetic point of view but from the standpoint of health through the elimination ot much filth and simultaneously the breeding places of flies and mosquitoes which cannot fail to call forth genera commendatiOn
 Thus having begun a good worl there ought to be no other though than to continue it. There are stil plenty of opportunities for putting the cleanup movement to excellent use The spring is the time of year whe1 the start should be made and now i the time to be making plans for worI to be done as soon as conditions vii naT.rYit

By Arthur Sweetser. Cloth, il-
 frustrated, PIP pages. Published
 by the Macmillan Co.,, New York.
 Price SIPS.
 The author of this book was actu- ated by a passion for seeing the movements of men and armies which have already begun to fade into his- tory as the German drive towards Paris. It lead him from Boston to Paris, from Paris to Lille by rail- and from Lille by bicycle in the wa9Se of von Kluck's armies, through Douai, Valenciennes, Le Cateau, and St. Quentin, to Senlis, within twenty five miles of Paris. Always the sound of battles was in his ears, and usually before his eyes was evidence of recent combat. He is perhaps the only jour nalist of the war who obtained a Ger man pass to Paris.
 The book is a record of war treated as an adventure. Where the author confines himself to simple narrative of what befell him, of the crowds he saw | in the square of Tournai, Belgium, ap- prehensive, filled with terror of the approaching Germans, of the peasant women he talked with, and the peas- ant soldiers, he is at home.
 During the rapid advance on Paris and the check at the Marne, MT | Sweetser was prisoner in turn of tho 1 Germans and the French. But he saw i Paris three times in those few weeks i and got a glimpse of suffering Bel gium on his way out of the danger zone. His account is not aided by c 1 tendency to slang, but 1t is, neverthe- | les, a vivid picture of an adventure that was almost impossibly rash anC | gives new glimpses of the stirring events of those far-off days when, fol all its nearness, the beginning of tho long period of trench warfare was un' realized.
