THE MOVE FOR PEACE.

An idea for humanity il being derided. lis adro
cate President Wilson, comes in for a share Of the
derision.
Every man who brought TO the world a new mes
sage has met opposition, and contumely.
History is full of such instances The long roll
of martyrs speaks eoquently of sacrifice to ideas
and ideals. Christianity is founded message
for which its giver was crucifed. Pagan and Chris
tan annals abound in the persecution Of those whose
thoughts counter To convention Stephen was
stoned to death. John Bunyan, dissenting from the
Anglieans and QGakers immuled in Jail for
twelve long years. Calico, who wiped ont an alb
surd shool Of philosophers. astronomers and plysi-
csts aud whose studies placed him a hundred years
Of his time, was called TO account by conclaye OF
cardinals, monks and mathematicians and sentenced
TO The dungeons of the Inqusition. The list could
he multiplied indefinitely of men who have been
treated with contempt because they dared TO voice
an IDEA.
We have the spectacle now Of all sorts Of little
men condemning and crticzing President Wilson
because he has dared TO suggest to the warrior M
tions that they place their cause concretely before
the world
The prcSi8ent has made a move for peace. lie
has made hssce TO cleanse the bloody shambles OF
Europe, that the bodies of men and the hearts of
woIen and little children he no more broken on the
altar of the war-lords
OF course he meets opposition, meets contempt,
meets misunderstanding, meets opposition meets re
viliHg
Ifis the old, old story of sneers at a man with an
IDEA
We do not suggest that the president is being sac
rfckd, being prosecuted Or that he is likely TO be
martyr. We take little stock, anyway, in the stor
les about the sacred and awful isolation of the pre-
sid of fha !, ~
suffering solicitude while he ponders problems OF
state. We admit his anxiety of mind, but We do
not believe the president is the type which takes his
perRlexing ofcial duties with personal pain as did
Lincoln.
B1t we do admire the president when he presents
himself as man with decided opinion. ready Ia
face opposition to carry that opinion out. Too oft
en-, we feel opportunities of this kind have been
PASSED. But why not when they are seized recoS

Health Men In
Quiet Game of
Coin Matching

Callers at the office Of the board OF
health one day last week would have
come across President J. S. B. Pratt
and Superintendent lack" McVeigh
engaged in what to all appearance
was the great American sport of
matching dollars.
Pratt would flop big fat dollar on
it's side, and holding it there helpless,
would call upon McVeigh to call it.
After McVeigh had had his guess, he
in turn would take the dollar and let
the health president do the guessing.
About the time a crowd of specta-
tors began to gather and there look
ed the possibility for some one to turn
in scare call and have the detective
force down on the scene, Pratt ex.
planned that they were deciding the
even bids offered in the recent open
ing of tenders for material and sup
plies in that department.
Thank goodness" said the genial
superintendent, lit isn't any more than
that. For pure luck this man Pratt
has me backed off the map

BOARD PROPOSES
TO MAKE CHANGES

Changes proposed to the board or
agriculture and forestry which are TO
be taken up for consideration at the
next meeting of that body will in all
probability take the office OF terrific
rial photographer from its control to
that of the land commissioner. ~.
This report, which reached the Star
Bulletin today, was verified by W. NJ.
Giffard, member of the board, who
said that while nothing definite has
yet been decided the matter is likely
to be settled at the next meeting.
Giffard declares that it is the gen.
eral feeling of the board that the Of
flee of photographer is more directly
connected with the land office than
with the board of agriculture and for
estry, and for this reason the change
is thought reasonable. The governor
is thought to favor the. scheme and
about the only action necessary will
be technical change in the laws by
the legislature. EG

been under the fofestry board for

munition depots, Instructions of Zep- pelins, and Zeppelin sheds, and dam age to the enemy's field works. The French army is said to have ample proofs to this effect in orders of the day issued from the German general headquarters, impressing upon the officers and men carefully studied ways of avoiding dangerous arms of the French flying corps.
 More Esprit De Corps.
 There seems to be more esprit de corps among the airmen than in any other branch of the service and great CT mutual courtesy between officers of the different armies. The most re- cent manifestation of it was the drop ping by Corporal Kandulski of the German flying corps, of a wreath upon the spot where he had brought the celebrated Pegoud to earth, bearing this inscription: ITO Pegoud, our enemy, who died like a hero. Signed, his adversaries.'
New Britain herald., 1916-02-25

centrating their efforts upon other ob- jects than individual combats or with the idea that the encounter might not be equal. The eNplanat tion now given by a competent authority is that the Germans lost their best aviators at the very outset of the war. This fact was disclosed by the notebook of a German aviator killed near Verdun, February 4, this year. As early as September 12, 1914, the Germans had lost Furstenair, Neumann, Dallurg, Beaulieu, Gresch, ahnow, Koch, Blut- gen, Heyden and Baudissin. This is further confirmed by German avia- tor, made prisoner, who said that they mad found the greatest difficulty in replacing these men killed or cap tured.
 This seems to explain the French cleam that with less efficient material French aviatOrs accomplished more tangible results, such as the destruc- tion of artillery, the blowing up of am-
