LONDON, March 81 The Allied pur-

violent fighting of both open and massed
character at half a dozen points along
the tifty-mile front now rapidly nearing
the permanent German line.
The French were within less than a
mile of tho "IIindenbrg line"-and pro-
crossing steadily despite inundations
and an increasingly strong resistance
from the enemy.
The nearest approach OF the Brit
ish to the line was around Lagni-
court, about eleven miles west Of Cam

neighborhood today. German massed
forces desperately striving to retake
the village. But the British hell firm

CANNING LESSONS
Currant Jelly.

A very simple method of making jelly is given in today's bulletin from Commission, which is cooperating with The Bulletin in it's campaign to induce the housewives of the country to conserve the food which would otherwise be wasted.
 Pick over entrants and remove all stems and leaves and then place them in enamel lined preserving kettle with a few of the bottom Der ries crushed to prevent burning. When hot, crush berries and strair Do not press the juice from the crushed but take hold of the opposite corners and roll the mass back and forth in the cloth. X more trans juice is strained through a flannel bag.
 After measuring the juice. put it into the clean preserving kettle tring it to gente boil and skim. Then add a little less than q pint Of sugar for each pint of juice and bring to boil again. (Sugar should be heated before placing in fruit juice) The time required for boiling after the addition of the sugar should be about four minutes. Skim ard pour into ster:lized jars taken directly from hot water.
 The glasses of hot ieTy should be placed on a board and the board set
 
 is no dust. After the jelly has set # may be covered in one of several ways.
 Cut out pieces of stiff paper to fit over jelly, put a few drops of g. per cent grain alcohol on je ly. dip paper in alcohol and place on glasses. Pour melted paraffin on top of the paper 70 the depth of a quarter of an inch. Put on tin covers if available. (The purpose of the alcohol is 10 destroy what mo ds and bacteria there may be present. Jelly sealed in this way will keep for several years without the formation of acids or molds.J
 Another method for sealing jelly is to substitute a cap of writing paper for the paraffin and tin ever. The paper should be at east half an inch larger than the glass. T. should he dipped in alcohol and then sealed around the edges with a mixture of white of an esg and a teaspoon of water.

CALLIED TOO LONG

It does not seem as if congress ought to require any further facts relative to the need of food control in this country, such as is aimed at in the Legislation which is now before it but if it does it will do well to give careful attention to the statement re- gently furnished to the president by
 Herbert C. Hoover, who has made a
 comprehensive report on the existing
 situation.
 The fact that there is not a pros
 pect that there will be a short crop of
 grain this year makes it apparent that
 there is as great need of regulation
 and control there would have been
 had it failed to come up to expecta-
 tions. Different ones are affected be- cause the situation is as 1t is but it is a case where all need protection and legislation should be adopted which will provide it.
 The fact that there will be a large supply or wheat that much of it will be required abroad, and that owing to transportation conditions it will move more slowly than it has in the past when there was perfect freedom. should mean that the consumers here have no cause to worry, but this very situation is serious for the growers. They must carry their supply until it can be moved and this burden gives the spec ulator just the chance that he wants. The speculator in fact is ready to get in his work whether it is the con- suner or the producer who is affected. If he can reap a benefit from both, so much the better, but that is just where the need of proper regulation by the government should do it's work. There is need for insuring the producer a n off is need of safeguardinS the position of the consumer. This can and will be done through the food control leglsla- tion which is so greatly needed and the sooner congress comes to this re- alization, gets down to business and passes the law the quicker the un- certainty regarding it will be over come. Congress has dallied upon this matter too long already.

LETTERS TO IRE foiToa
A United Country in Righteous
 Cause.

Causes
 Mir Editor: Are there some still who bemoan the fact that our country did not enter the world war sooner? It is well anyhow to remen Der that when the United States did declare war it had no other alternative-ex cept dishonor. It was either war to defend our undisputed rights or sub- tional -aw, designed to make war less inhunan and protect neutrals in some measure is no law when Germanys interests are at stake. International law has required many hundreds of years for it's growth and all civilized nations of our day, including Ger many, have proudly declared their adherence to it. But so far as Ger many is concerned it proves to be .ay only for the other feIiow-simply a piece of paper as against her. Such policy or practice is fraud. and pretense of maintaining it is hypoc- rfSy. As there is no general authority for enforcing this humane law in the interest of humanity and peace -abid ing nations. each nation must defend its own house or it will be broken up.
 The limit was reached when the Lusitania went down Our country has not only every moral and humani tarian issue-on it's side. but it entered the war only after extreme provoca- tion, deliberate and without apology. AS Wilson has well said, they would not allow us 10 remain neutral as we proposed and desired. It is well to remember that Lincoln was vocifer- ously and bitterly denounced for not earlier ernancipating the slaves. He waited until he was fully assured in his own mind that otherwise the union could not be saved. In the meantime public opinion became unified and ap- plauded emancipation when it was at length decreed.
 War having now been indeed de- -l1 -or1 vIn eTa.a-- -l, undertaken earlier, we need not dis cuss- Fortunately. li-e and spirit cd public opinion, remarkable for it's Unanimity. sanctions the war. Is it not true that the people throughout our land from ocean to ocean are de- sirous to know what is desired of them and are ready at once to take up the task9 To fail in supporting our nation at this perilous time in prosecuting it's gigantic undertaking is trea son.
 As at the time of the Civil war. so now the permanence and efficiency of government by the people is at stake: then the danger was from internal our hearts unfinchingiy to the work of making right triumphant, however long may be the strife and whatever sacrifices even unto death may be re- quired. With Linco.n, Jet us say thal we have undertaken this war for great purpose: it will end when that purpose has been accomplished. We trust it will not end until that work has been done. And what words are more apt than those others of the Great Emancipator slightly modified: Let us highly resolve that those who die shaE not die in vain: that this nation under God sholl have a new birth of freedom. and that government of the people. by the people. and for the people shall not perish. from the earth.

LIGHT LAW MUST BE oeEvep.

Drivers of automobiles as well as others who use the streets and high ways cannot fail to have noted the
 marked improvement which has been brought about as the result of the new automobile law which went into effect the first of this month. Dag zhng headlights were to be encoun- tered on the great majority of the cars up to that time and dangerous indeed was the effect of such brilliant rays upon the person driving a car or walking in the opposite direction It required some time to get a legis- laturc to take action upon this matter but the last session was apparently convinced of the necessity of over coming this menace and the result is that so far as placing a law upon the statute books the proper duty has been performed.
 In general there has also been compliance with the law. For the most part it is welcomed by the auto drivers themselves and they are dis playing a readiness to abide by it, but there are those who are determined to take chances in regard to this as well as to their general conduct in handling a car and obeying regula- tions. It is such drivers who make the enforcement of laws and traffic regulations necessary but the only thing to do is to make it plain , to them al the start that the law was made to be observed and that all and not a few are included hereunder.
 The state automobile department has given warning to the effect that all those who have not equipped their cars with the approved lenses are 1a- bic to arrest and that inspectors are +c ;'- --~r.sd to see that the provisions a" are lived up to. There is ' ~xTuse for those who have 70 properly trim their lights a:.E = they are brought into court ard fined there will be no one to blame but themselves. The law wa needed and it's enforcement is equally important.

THE NORWICH TO eRoToN ROAD.

When 1t comes to the matter of highway improvement every section of the state is bound to be interested in whatever will contribute to the gen eral betterment of the roads whether it happens to be benefited or not Nat urally each section looks for it's share and should receive it in order to give all 8 fair return for their money
 and in addition to the other work which is going on in this end of the state there will be loca, interest in the announcement which has been made to the effect that Highway Com missioner Bennett has made his rec ommerdation to Washington in be- half of the construction Of a post road from Groton to the naval station a few miles above Such a road would be built with government and state money. It would provide a modern highway to government property even though that has to do entirely with naval matters, but at the same time it would furnish an improvement in a section where it is much needed
 But while the effort is being made to secure this new stretch Of road
 the need of continuing it along the east bank of the Thames from the na- val station north through the towns of Ledyard and Preston to a point where it will join the highway leading from this city to the state hospital for the insane ought not to be overlook ed. There has been for some time an excellent road down the west side of the river. but the east side has been entirely neglected. Some stretches of that road have been in deplorable shape and much travel which would ordi- narily go that way is diverted in other directions. The towns through which such a road would pass are entitled to it's benefits well as the communities which lie a either end. The distance !s short and the expense could not be excessive and while the south end of it is under consideration it is time that an effor: was made to have the whole stretch improved by making one lob of it.
