a good time during his stay.

JUSTICE FOR THE NATION.
AL GUARD

- OCULAR army officers
N are disposed to be hasty
in proclaiming the Natl
onal Guard system an utter
failure, comments the New
York World.
The National Guard regi-
ments that were sent to the
Mexican border last summer
were the product of the Dick
act, which was about to be su-
perseded by the new Hay law.
Yet in active service in the
field the New York regiments
won high praise, as Major
Gen. Organ testifies, from Of
ficers of the regular army for
their proficiency. This state
has maintained a liberal policy
toward the National Guard.
Its officers and men were
drawn from the professions
and business, many of them ex-
ceptionally trained and in en-
ioyment of high salaries in ci-
vii life. It was inevitable when
they were mustered into the
Federal service that they
should make a good showing
for intelligence and adaptable
| ity. They were not the kind of
volunteers that usually are at
tracted to the recruiting offices
of the United States army.
They were rather of the class
Of men whose work at Platts-
burg Gen. Leonard Wood has
so freely praised.
To disparage the National
Guard is easy but unfair. A
better system of obtaining
troops must be devised, but the
reason is not to be found in the
failure of the Guard to do its
duty.

SOLDIERS GOT RELIEF
FROM SORENESS
Boys on the Border Relieved Their
Pains and Aches With SlOan's

Once upon a time Norman Jones,
serving in the National Guard at Ell
Paso, returned to camp after a siren
uous fifteen mile hike foot-sore and
leg-weary. He had not been long in
active service and his shoulders, back
and limbs felt the after effects of
marching.
Remembering Sloan's Liniment
Jones applied it to the sore spots and
went to bed. He writes: IT arose
the next morning feeling fine; in fact
I had entirely forgotten about the
hike and went out for a four-hoUr
drill in the sun as spry as ever
Private Jones passed the experience
along, and many boy on the border
relieved the agony Of sprains, strains,

Clifton e. Davenport sent in a let

Traffic Officer Dennis Nealon, charg-
ing the officer with insult and con-
duct unbecoming an officer. He also
sent in supplementary protest against
officer NealOn, claiming the policeman
had held up one of his drivers unnec-
essarily.
Officer Nealon sent in written re-
ply, setting forth that Davenport did
not observe his signals and deserved
to be reprimanded as he was.
Commissioner Steele said he has
had numerous complaints about Off
Ger Neaion's work as traffic officer and
he does not think he is a good man for
the post. He becomes confused too
easily, said Mr.. Steele. officer Nealon
does duty at the junction of East Main
street and Hartford avenue. Mr..
Steele said he does not think officer
NealOn does his work properly. Mr..
Moran said if these things are so, an
other officer should be detailed to do
this work and the matter was referred
to Chief Rawlings with power. Mr..
Moran said he hears much unjustiti-
able criticism Of the traffic police and
thinks on the whole New Britain has
a good traffic squad.

their trouble is due to impoverished or

A splendid treatment for weak

Immediate action. Take a Mango Nerve
tablet, wait ten minutes and watch

NbOStOI IIduSOi4 Pt.J
In any other age of the world, the
in the Dardanelles would
have been a great war in itself. 1t
has lasted a year, lacking one month,
if the campaign is to be taken as dat
ing from the first serious naval at
tempt 1t has cost the entente allies
more than a hundred thousand men in
killed, wounded aud prisoners, and has
inflicted losses not so great, but never
fheless dreadful in themselves, upon
the Turks 1t has resulted in the de
struetion of many ships and the loss
of millions of dollars in material, It
has proved a vast graveyard not only
of men, but of military regulations.
And it has proved to the allies one
of the most disastrous wars ever
fought, for it has failed not only in
its direct purpose, but has, by its
demonstration of the inability of the
allies to get to Constantinople by this
route, turned away from them the eX-
pectcd help of Greece, Bulgaria and
Roumania, and resulted in the utter
destruction of Serbia. History has not
produced many wars which have been
conceived in completer ignorance of
the essential conditions which were to
completer failure To us at this great
distance, its most dramatic feature has
been the awful sacrifice of the hopeful
young manhood of Australia and New
Zealand in a campaign undertaken Sc
light -heartedly by these brave colo
malls. Great Britain and France have
called out their best and bravest to
hammer down these peninsular walls,
which they should have struck before
they had been rendered impregnable,
if they struck them at all. They pour
ed out their best blood and the abun-
dance of their treasure in sacrifice
upon the altar of military error. And
now they give up their last foothold
upon this Levantine Golgotha! That a
campaign which was so great war IN
itself could be fought and utterly lost,
and that its losers could 60 on new

conflict which could be imagined.

cossful work in Graduating yellow fe-
Yer in Panama, shows that he appre
ciates the social as well as the medical
phase of the problem of eliminating
preventable disease. He says Science
knows that the chief cause of disease
is poverty; that disease can never be
eliminated so long as people are forced
to live poorly and close together. We
are endeavoring to do everything we
can by educating the people. In Pana-

The German Pledge.
Boston Post.)


There is no quibbling, no evasive
phrasing, no disposition to play for
points in the latest German pledge as
to submarine warfare in the Mediter-
ranean. Indeed, it goes farther than
any of the nations have yet gone in
declaring that German submarines
are permitted to destroy enemy mer
chant vessels in the Mediterranean -
i. G., passenger as we'll as freight ships
as far as they do not try to escape Ct
offer resistance-only after passengers
and crews have been accorded safety
These distinct pledges, including a
promise to punish all submarine com
manders not obeying the orders and
an offer to make reparation for losses
of American lives caused by such dis
obedience, cannot be regarded other
wise than as binding and made in good
faith. They do not give any definite
clue as to what Germany viii do in
the Lnsitania case, but they indicate
that there, too, damages may be paid.
Very different is ali this from the
defiant tone taken by Germany at the
beginning of her submarine attacks on
merchantmen. And the change has
come without buster or the rafting of
the sabre by Uncle Sam.
