 Mir. Editor: That was rather an in- teresting and possibly exaggerating article about Miss Miriam Layonian in The Bulletin this morning regarding the living burial of eight hundred children by the Turkish soldiers. War is always accompanied by atrocities we must admit, but to believe such a story would be senseless, and when Miss Lavonian claims she was an eye witness to the murders. it would lead one to believe that she stayed out rather late the night before.

In an attempt to institute efficient mail service in Alaska, the United States government now plans a mail route between Nome and a series of distant, the mail to be carried by aeroplanes twice a week. For his ser vices the aviator who makes the trip 104 times during the year would re- ceive $49,50O. Travelling sixteen hun dred miles a week in an aeroplane over country visited by all sorts of adverse weather conditions will fore stall stampede for the job, even though it pays more money than all letter carriers in New Britain are gtv- bors.-New Britain Herald.
 If we decide to maintain both the Monroe doctrine and our policy of Asi- atie exclusion, there is only one an . swer; g. navy large enough to defeat the worlds second naval power in the Atlantic, and at the same time defeat the naval power in the Pacific at whose strength we can now only guess.
 ] At present we could not defeat them together. Nor could we defeat alone the power in the Atlantic. We do not know whether or not we could defeat alone the one in tn Pacific.

 Teachers pension legislation has failed several times in Connecticut for various reasons. Usually it has been urged that the state could not afford it. The condition of the treas ury, however, precludes any poverty plea, even though it offers no excuse for raids. The teachers having adopt ed the Massachusetts plan whereby they will themselves contribute to- ward the pension fund have disarIned some of their critics to an extent.
 Why pension teachers, is often ask ed? Arc they more entitled to an old age pension than the men who work hard in mill and factory and help pay the teachers salaries? This argument is not conclusive. Teachers give their lives, practically in a form of public service which is notorfously under paid. Very frequently the salary which they receive is less than that which IS paid the janitor who sweeps the doors and tends the fires. They have littte opportunity to acquiHe competence for old age. That is one of the chief reasons why the state owes them a pension and does not at the same time owe pensions to all other work ers.-Hartford Post.
