STATE EXPENSE
 LESSENED WHEN
 FIRST WAS CALLED

The calling of the First Regiment Connecticut Infantry, into the federal service will have the effect of relieving the state of a heavy financial burden which the general assembly has made arrangements to meet.
 One of the emergency bills on which action has been taken at the present session provides for the ex- penses attending the National Guard. The measure does not relate to the ordinary expenses of the military de- partment of the state. When the bill was under consideration by the com nittee on appropriations and before it was reported to the general assem- bly, there was an uncertainty as to the expense it would create.
 On the supposition that the two regiments of infantry would be em- ployed/ by the state for some time af- ter prospective breaking out of hos tilities it was thought tthe expense would amount to $75O,00O, perhaps $1,000,000 before the meeting of the general assembly of 1919. But now that the First Infantry goes into the federal service the state will not be obliged to provide for it's mainten- ante or the compensation of the men and officers, about 2,000 in all.
 It does not follow that because the two regiments may be in the federal service that there will not exist a need for the special service, for which the general assembly has made financial provision for the Home Guard.

THE NEWSPAPERS AND WAR

The newspapers of America are ex- ceedingly alert, and it is a big prob lem what to> do with efficient news services in caSe of war. AS part of their contract with the reading public, they will of course print all the news they can get hold of, ex- cept in so far as they are asked to submit to a legal or voluntary censor ship.
 Unquestionably the Mexicans in the recent border clashes got much valu- able information of troops move ments from our newspapers. The Germans would be even more alert, and any newspaper statement would in some way or another immediately find it's way to our foes.
 At the same time, the newspapers for public good must be given a cer- tain, amount of leeway. The English have found that to~ stir public inter- est in the war, they must allow the papers to print something more than official bulletins When the English newspapers were allowed to tell more of what was going on at the front, the result was greatly to stimulate re- cruitings and get a much better popu- lar support for the war. It would be the same here.
 Many of our newspapers published the other day story how wealthy German-American living in Washing ton was under surveillance for his pro-German activities. and alleged possession of military maps and plans. In cases like that, the secret service should not have it's hand forced, but 1t should be permitted to conduct it's investigations quietly.
 The newspapers will be willing to submit to reasonable censorship and will ask only that it be applied equally to all press dispatches. The Journalistic world is intensely loyal in it's Americanism, and it asks only that censorships be applied with some common sense and Knowledge of hu- man nature.

LONDON FUNDS DEPRESSED.

London, March 20-We are sorry to observe the funds on Saturday made no advance upon the depressed prlce of the preceding day. This proves that the monied men require some thing more satisfactory than the mere conjecture of our brother journalists to convince them of the backWardness of ministers in sanctioning loan to the French government But let us hope we may be saved from so lm- polite, nay, we may say, so wicked project What? Have we no em- barrassments at home, and can nall ruined landlords, so easily bear an addition to their burdens at this tune to pay the interest of a loan to the French king
 When are we to hope for the ter imitation of the expenses to be entail ed upno this devoted country? We hope our friends will beware how they are induced to contribute to- wards the projected loan.

Lyon Q Grumman, Retail DIVISION. AMERICAN HARDWARE
 STORES
SAYS us, MUNITIONS
 PROLONGED WAR
(Incorporated) FAIRFIELD AVE AND MIDDLE ST.

Stockholm, March 2S-Dr. Albert O. w. Suedekum, one of the best known, leaders of the majority social ists in the German reichstag. in an interview here with the correspon- dent of the Associated Press said that whoever thought the submarine war was going to bring England to star vation in six months was deceiving himself. He added, however, that such a result was not necessary for German victory, which he declared was certain, with indemnity.
 Dr. Suedekum said he was convinc- ed that England hitherto had been sending only enough troops to the continent to keep her allies contented, but that now it was necessary for her to change her course. He de- clined to hazard a prediction on the result of the possible participation of America in the war on the side of the Entente, but added:
 Anyhow, America has been vir- tually in the war practically since the beginning. If it had not been for American ammunition the war would have ended in 1915."
 In reference to a statement attri- buted to former Ambassador Gerard IIldL LlC 1OOu SlLUdIIOI1 IIA6AI dI1SCL Germany's military strength, Dr. Suedekum said: ''There is not the slightest danger of that, even in the improbable event of the war lasting a year or two more. If other foods fail we can increase our meat ration. We have 100000 swine today and the normal number before the war was only 19,5O0,OO0. we have 1,50O,- 900 cattle, against a peace normal of about 100000 ior 500,00O more. If necessary, we could butcher all but a minimum number of brood animals.
 '"The extreme cold of the last weeks made it impossible to transport pota- toes and we had only one or two pounds weekly for each consumer in the big cities. If the people had been required by regulation thus to limit consumption they would have consid- cred it impossible, but when faced by hard necessity they did it, with the result that we have an additional months supply of potatoes on which we never reckoned. It is true we are short of food but we are not starv- ing.'
 In regard to the split in the socialist party pr. Suedekum said:
 "The small minority which broke away from the old party is merely a sort of safety valve for blowing off the pressure of discontent There is bound to be certain number of dis gruntled individuals and malcontents in every party even in normal times and naturally much more in time of war. These people must have an outlet for their discontent and the seeding socialists furnish this out let. The secession movement is of no consequence, the seceders themselves being split up into various groups. I predict these divisions will disappear with the coming of peace.'
