It has taken 5me tine to ge- the consent of Argentina to their pu5ii- cation but the most of them have now been made public and they reveal the fact that German diplomacy had been working har.i and fast for tne purpose of creating iissension among tise na- lions of South America, with the idea In view of not only strengthening Germany's position but for tho pur- pose of handic1pping the United States and destroying an-Anlerican- Ism

 ployes of a steel car and foundry com pany in that state are out of work be- cause of the fact that the order for e500 ears for the transportation oi munitions and supplies in Russia has been cancelled This probably means that the uncertainty concerning the situation in Russia because of the ne- gotiations which are underway be- tween the boisheviixi and Germany has caused the stopping of work on these freight cars for the reason that if the bolsheviki are going to play into the hands of the kaiser this and other al- lied nations arc going to shut of the supplies which we're intended to go there to improve co nditfone-

PEACE TALK.

Tn view of the fact ri1at the peace offering which the kaiser has prom ised to make on Christmas will in all probability be along the same lines as those which have been previously made interest therein is not what it would be if the coming announcement was his first That his country .s anxious to end the war as soon as possible cannot be doubted in view of . the reports which are coming to light regarding the conditions which exist in all parts thereof But even more pressing are the demands which are being made for peace by the people of Austria where conditions are even worse with a hard winter staring them in the face
 Unless the kaiser is prepared to go much further than he has ever gone before relative to the adjustment of conditions in Europe, his forthcom- ing peace talk has been discounted aI- ready by the statement of Premier Lloyd George of Great Britain. who after pointing out the improvement that is being made in ship construc- lion and the betterment of the food situation in that country declared, in referring to the war aims of that gov ernment, that the complete resto-a- ton of the territories taken by the enemy together with compensation would be Insisted upon. This makes 1t quite evident that Great Britain coesn't intend to be swerved from its purpose by anything which 1t is be- ieved the kaiser win say. and in this stand it will have the support of the other entente nations. The uniteS States hasn't altered it's declaration tc the effect that it will have no deaiins with the present imperial German government

WARDEN eARNER's RESIGNATION

In view of the eommendable work which he has done since being named to that position and his excellent quail ifcations for the job, there cannot help being sincere regret throughout the entire state that Warden Garner of WethersfieId has been obliged by inn paired health to resign his position.
 After having been identified with such work for a score of years. dur ing which time he has gone from the bottom to the top of the ladder and spent seven years Of it in charge of the Connecticut state prison all of which has been in perfect harmony with the directors of that institution, it means a decided loss to the state to be deprived of his services and 1t is not surprising tha. the beard of di- rectors accepted his resignation. with reluctance.
 His departure from that post brings the same regrets that were caused when his predecessor, Albert Garvin, left the state prison in 1910. Warden Garner has long been deeply interest ed in the work of prison reform as one in such a position might be ex- pected to be and he has put into oper- ation many excellent policies. He has every reason to feel proud of the work which he has accomplished dur ing his stay in Connecticut It has always been for the best interests Of the institution and those who were sent there as can be attested by those who are in touch with his activities.
 Successful prison admin ni:stratbrs are not to be found on every corner. His place will be hard to fill but as was the case at the time of his sefec- 'tion the prison directors will do their r&kv %1 cessor in order. to carry on the good work which he has done.

uNsANIrARY CAMPS.

It was we'll that an investigation was started as early as it was concerning the conditions of the training camps about the country and it is gratifying that General Gorgas found as many as he did which were in satisfactory condition. It might have been antiei- pated that some would be in better shape than others for one reasen or another but the health of the soldiers in some of them made it evident that sanitation had not been given the at tention that was required and that proper precautions were not being ob- served regarding the new arrivals in the camps who had every opportunity to bring in disease and spread 1t among. the others.
 The speedy application of the ne- cessary remedy will now be applied and it is we'll that there be TO greater delay although it is to be regretted that preventive steps sufficiently broad could not have been taken from the very start. Having once ascer- tained the trouble there should be no relaxation of effort until it is not only checked but made impossible for the future.
 There can be no measures too strict and no steps too thorough when it comes to guarding the health of the soldiers. Unhealthy camps are men, ace. The soldiers are entitled to ev- cry possible protection and as far as indicated there is nothing which can not be overcome by the prompt ap- plication of sanitary precautions. If we are going to have an efficient army we must certainly have healthy troops and certainly the fitness of men amounts to little if their health is not properly guarded. Unsanitary camps cannot be tolerated a minute after

James Ward, just mentioned, was one of family of siIversrnitha. His father brother, and probably grand father, all followed the trade in Gull ford.
 He was born in Guiford in 176S, and as already stated was apprenticed to Colonel Beach. After the firm of Beach & Ward was dissolved, in 179S, Ward for time continued alone at a shop about ten rods nortIe of the bridge, at the sign of the Golden Ket- tle."
