it are those under the power of the habit, or those who still hold to the delusion that alcohol is a helpful or necessary stimulant. These are still many, but they are growing less.
 Alcohol isn't a stimulant-it's just thought to be its beneficial effects are shown by modern science to be de- fusion.
 Any intelligent physician will tell you this. The experience Of non-al- eoholic hospitals confirms it. The de- mand for "bartenders who do not drink" has been steadily increasing in recent years. and you will find mighty few successful liquor merchants who drink. They know better. No man can take alcoholic liquor into his sys tenn with any considerable frequency entire being You cannot find a place where alcohol is sold as drink whether it be saloon, bar. hotel, club, Tow dive,'' "giided palace, from which sale there does not result far more harm than good. Say all you club" the saloon is wrecker of every decent interest. It is not the place, or the environment; it's the alcohol that paralyzes, and demoralizes, and kills, and every intelligent citizen knows it even the liquor attorneys admit it by leaving the stuff alonei
 I do not know how much longer the Connecticut legislature is going to block the way to this reform, but ! do know that any citizen who flinders it in any place. whether he be legis- lator, elector or business man, is refecting upon his own intelligence.

ground for believing that they should get more money for the work which they do if they are not entitled to it. The people are not to be gouged out of tneir. money simply for the sake of permitting corporations to pay aib- nornaal dividends.
 But there appears to be good req sons for believing that the roads can show to the satisfaction of the com mission that what they are asking for should be granted. or at least in mosr cases. tremendous demands have been made upon the roads. They are forced to meet them the best way they can and there is nothing mystical about the manner in which they se- cure their income.
 Not only must they pay the increase in wages which has been forced upon them as the result of the decision in the Adamson law. but better trans portation facilities are being and have been constantly demanded from them, and railroad investments are not such today that they can call forth unliTn- tied capital They must therefore avoid the piling up of great debts and 1t is but proper that they should be permitted the revenue which will give them a fair and reasonable return on their present capital. and thus place them in a better position to attract new.

PI.infield Ladie. of tn. G. A. R.

Mir. Editor: I noticed in last week. S Plainf1eld Journal an item saying that Lucy Webb Hayes Circle, Ladies of the G. A. R.. had voted to disband Now then, I am a member and was never notified that such action was to- be taken.
 I also find that several other Plain field ladies knew nothing about such a meeting
 The laws distinctly say, "A notice snail be given each member when a move to disband is contemplated, and also that no circle shall be disbanded when ten members oppose such ac- tion.''
 It looks to me as if the patriotic women of Plainfield should rally around one G. A. R. standard, and see that Lucy Webb Hayes Circle is not disbanded.
 The vote of a half dozen members who gave no notice whatever to the circle members as the bylaws direct will amount to nothing with the de- partment, or national circles. If the Central Village ladies wish to leave the order, there are more than enough down here in Plainfield to kecp it going. and there never was, and never will be. a time when the fast passing c. A. R.. needs the aid of the lady associates more than 1t does today
 Not only that we are on the brink of a great wicked war. and no society of patriots should think of disband- ing at this time. Altogether now, let us keep Lucy Webb Hayes Circle, La dies of the G. A. R., going

In poorly furnished room mother was bending over her baby, trying to hush his little moans. her eyes filled with tears. as she laid him in his bed Then she paced the floor in az ony, silently, so not to disturb the aok dear. dear, The doctor says will die. What shall I do?" The landlady looked in. Baby asleep, Mrs. Benton?' Yes, at last" Well run out for a walk and I will look out for him, poor little lamb." T will try to keep my strength up, so can care for my darling
 Out in the lovely spring air she side. but her face was so sad the passerby noticed it. Ruth Remington, happy with $25 in her pocket which Tom had given her of the lovely face.
 What do you suppose is the mat ter" she thought She is young. too. poor girl.''
 She turned and ran after the young woman. touched her On the shoulder and said: "oh, what is the rnatter?''
 Mary was So surprised she could not answer for a moment. Then, sec ing the beautiful eyes looking into hers. she gasped out:
 '.aiy baby is dying and I can't save hinl.''
 "Oh, come into some rest room so we can talk and ten me all about itI' said Ruth.
 They did, and Mary told, it all. her husbands death and the lbaby's ill., ness and the doctors verdict.
 T have an old aunt in the country and I think she would take me in if I could only get there but look" open ing her scantily filled pocketbook, that is all I have in the world"
 Ruth's lips quivered as she listened to Mary's story.
 '.May go to see the baby?"
 'T hate to take you, it is such a poor place"
 But Ruth persuaded her, and they went. Little Billy was just waking up as they entered the room. He put up his feeble little arms to his mother and Ruins tears rained down her cheeks.
 You poor little darling" she cried tits a shame. You must go to the countryi Here Mrs. Benton, are $25 my Tom gave me for an Easter hat Take it and go with your baby at once"
 ''Oh. no. I can't" sobbed Mary. but you are a deari'

CONFIDENCE DESTROYED.

Possibly Germany thought that this country would be eager to enter into negotiations regarding a protocol in order to give the protection to Ger man subjects and property in this country which Germany thinks they ought to have, but any such idea must be effectively dfspelled by the reply which this government has made to that suggestion.
 Not only does Secretary Lansing re- fuse to enter Into any such proposition now. but he firmly and f1atly tells Ger many that in view of the manner in which Germany has disregarded the promises which it has made in the past, its failure to respect it's obliga- tions so solemnly accepted and it's contempt for the rights of this nation so clearly set forth under international law, this country has no reason to be- heve that anything which would be negotiated at this time would receive any more faithful attention He tells the German authorities that they have violated the provisions of the treaties which they seek to renew, and there cannot help being the feeling that if they would do so regarding an under standing which has existed so long, there is nothing in their conduct which would serve to convince this country that any new negotiations would fare better. On the contrary their actions have caused this nation to manifest a feeling of distrust where confidence formerly existed.
 Instead of being willing to enter in any new understanding now, this country is seriously considering the abrogation of the aged treaties, and in taking that attitude it is fully jus tified

THE TWO DRIVES.

It is quite evident that much de- bends upon the resistance which Rus sia offers, to the new drive of Ger many with Petrograd as its objective, as to what the decision of Germany is going to be relative to putting forth all their energies for the hold ing of the western front on the Hin denburg line.
 From the start, which has been made give encouragement to the kaiser's forces. The Russians are displaying no inclination to let the, invaders through. Germany has selected this time to make this move in expecta- ton that 1t will find the forces of Rus sia demoralized and upset as the re- suit of the revolution and the hoped for inability of the new government to keep it's army united But thus far there is no indication of it. The army has rallied promisingiy to the support of the new Russia and from every indication the troops which are drawn up in the defense of that sec ton Of the country are as determined as ever to prevent Germany from car rying out it's purpose No sign of the weakness which Germany may have anticipated is thus far manifested.
 It therefore lies with Germany to determine whether it is going to draw upon its reserve for the purpose of carrying out this fight on the eastern line or whether they are going to be utilized for the holding of the new line in the west where the British and French are still pushing ahead and gradually gaining points of vantage, which if continued will sooner or later break down the defense which the Germans are offering at this theater of the war.

THE NEW DEPARTMENTS.

There are good reasons for behev- ing that the breaking up of the de- partment q the east. extending as 1t did from Maine to Louisiana and in eluding the whole Atlantic and Gulf seaboard, was based upon good judg- ment By making three departments where there was formerly one a greater degree of efficiency can be ob tained since the same amount of att tentfon which was directed towards the old department can now be de- voted to a third of that area. It is a division which was called for by the war situation.
 But in connection herewith it is diff ficult to look with approval upon the action which was taken in relieving Major General Wood. the senior officer in that rank. of the command of the important post which he has held since he was chief of staff and where he was thoroughly in touch with all the details and calling a junior off, cer to what is the most important de- partment in the country and giving General Wood an appointment which cannot help being 1oCked upon as the poorest in the list. There Is further cause for criticism when 1t is shown that the ranking major general was given the alternative of taking charge of this department or of being sent to Manila or Hawaii, posts which are outside the country and an assign ment, which if 1t had been made could hardly have been looked upon as be- ing creditable to one Of General Woods ability. Like true soldier General Wood will give efficient service wherever he goes but this is the time to keep the best at the front and not the rear.

HER LENTEN SACRIFICE

Ruth made her take it, helped her get ready and made her go at once. After it was over she thought What will Tom say?
 She looked in the shop windows as she went home, rather longingly, 1t is true, but she wasn't c bit sorry for what she had done.
 'Our rector told us to give up some thing during Lent. so VII call this my Lenten sacrifice.
 There's Tom!"
 She rushed to the door to get his kiss.

 Plenty, dearest"
 Couldn't find one to suit you ?" @Oh, yes, saw lots of pretty ones, but just didn't buy one, that's all, Why, Ruthie, why all this mystery? feel like a stranger"
 Eat your dinner. dear. and will tell you by-and-by.''
 So Tom ate.
 When his cigar was lighted. Ruth snuggfed down in the big chair beside him and told him all.
 He didn't say much but gave her a big hug
 He smoked in silence for awhile, then said:

 Dear Mrs. Remingtcn:I wish you could see my baby. He is so much better, laughs and plays and Aunt Mary just adores him. My dear, dear girl. how can I ever thank you? When 1 can I want to repay you. Auntie says you must come and see how happy we are, thanks to your unseI- f1shness.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR
The Perishins People of Turkey.

The Perishing People of Turkey.
 Mir. Editor: I have just received statements respecting the condition of the perishing poor people of Turkey. It is appalling, heartrending. Many thousands have starved, or, in their weakness, have frozen to death, dur ing these cold months. The coming months will be worse than the past unless more can be done. I have my self witnessed a spring following a winter of famine in Asia Minor. Moth Ing can be more dreadful. Between two and three millions of dollars have the committee of Armenian and Sy- rian relief are redoubIing their ef- forts This money has been expended through reliable agencies. It has serv- different nationalities in Turkey are starving. What food the farmers have saved is taken to feed the army that is struggling to keep from ex- t1nEuiShment the f1ickering flame of Ottoman rule.
 The shiploads of food that have been sent from this country are still at Alexandria. waiting to be landed on the coast of Syria The sultan has personally apologized to Ambassador Eikus for the delay, admitting that the Germans and the Austrians would not guarantee the safety of the goods So 1t is that the Christian world must feed starving world because the cen tral powers of Europe are trying to destroy it.
 I would most earnestly second the appeal to the churches of Norwich and vicinity that they devote their Easter offering to this worthy object As we Joyously celebrate the resurrection of our Divine Lord. let us remember that He said, in regard to a deed of com passion, 1nasmuch as ye have done 1t unto one of the least of these, ye have done 1t unto Me"
 But do not throw away your money on agents who make personal appeals The relief committee have no such agents.
