Turkish Cigarettes May
 Be Held Up By War Gods

Washington, D. C.. Jan. 3.-The
 Turkish governments warning to the
 Bureau of Navigation of the United
 States Department of Commerce that

 Turkish coast and Island of Samos
 may become targets for gunf1re from
 Turkish military forces is important,
 as steamers call frequently at Vathy.
 the Islands chief seaport, for car-
 goes of cigarettes extensively i'm
 ported to America. Concerning this
 historic Greek possession the Ma
 tional Geographic society issues the
 following war geography bulletin:
 ''The strait which separates Samos
 from the promontory of the main
 land of Asia Minor known in ancient times as Mycale is barely mile
 wide. The island, which has an area
 about one and a half times as large as Marthas Vineyard. lies about 40 miles southwest of Smyrna and has exceptional natural resources with it's forest-clad mountains, its valuable marble quarries and it's extremely fertile valleys where raisins oil, fruits, corn and wines are most profit ably produced. The cigarettes of the island are shipped to every country in the world while the wines are exported to Europe where they are
 used for mixing purposes. The pop ulation of the island is between 50,- 900 and 60,000.
 "Samos was the seat of one of the first settlement of the Ionians in the Mediterranean and from 1t went out many of the colonies which dotted the coast of Asia Minor and the neighboring islands of the Aegean. II, century before the Christian era Samos rose to place of dominance in the Ionian union. thanks to the executive ability and judicial wis dom of the famous tyrant Polycrates, who prosecuted many successful wars with the chiefs of adjacent colonies and who was at one time in alliance with the powerful Egyptian king Amasis.
 ''Herodotus is sponsor for the fla miliar story that Amasis, becoming alarmed at the extraordinary course of good fortune which attended all the enterprises of his ally. wrote to Polycrates urging him to disarm the envy of the god by sacrificing his most treasured possession. The ty- rant took his friends advice and threw into the sea a precious ring which he prized above all his other jewels. A few days later fisherman brought fine fish to the palace as a gift to the ruler, and when it was being prepared for Polycrates' table the ring was found inside. and was thus restored to it's owner. It Is said that when Aamsis heard of this amaz- ing incident he imm ediately broke his treaty with Polycrates, being con- vinced that the jealous gods would visit some terrible calamity on this ] ltoo-fortunate mortal. And the fore l bodings of the Egyptian were fully 1 verified, for a short time after these

WORK NOT COMPLETED.

Figures showing what Connecticut suffering population of Belgium have been made public by the Connecticut Committee of the Commission for Re lief in Belgium which recently began a new campaign to emphasize the fact that it's work is far from done. The winter has found even more des- titute women dying of tuberculosis and children starving to death than last year, and the committee asks Connecticut, one of the richest states in the union, to continue, if not to redouble it's contributions
 The results of the new campaign, now month old, have encouraged the committee in its belief that many generous persons have refrained from were under the false impression that Belgium no longer needed help from prosperous America. Since Thanks giving Day about $5,OOO has been re- CC1VeQ III the SCdLo-lnCluQlHS IHIe0 gifts of $500 each, four of $200 each, and thirteen of $10O each. But as before, the smaller contributions have swelled the total, and many of these have come from persons who have given before. In numerous cases such persons have increased their contri- buttons upon learning of the continu- ance in Belgium of sufferings unpre- cedented in the history of any nation.
 In a New Years statement the committee thanks all who have Loyalty helped it fulfill an obligation more important, in it's opinion, than ever, and makes an appeal for increased giving in every town, through churches, schools or local branches, or through the state treasurer, Charles c. Russ, at the Hartford Trust Company, Hartford. New Britain s contribution to the Belgium Relief totals the insignificant sum of $S5 %, one of the smallest donations received from any city in the state.

whether an all powerful party gains Democrat on an important committee might have ideas worth considering, and could not in any event make ser ious trouble on the floor of the Sen ate. However, the Republican theory is to put only Republicans on guard and so long as they win on that basis it is their own business.
 Our two representatives, Hall and Colbert, will presumably seek appoint ments on committees having to do with matters in which local manufac- turers are interested They were picked and elected for that purpose.
 MT. Hall in particular has had experl- ence fitting him to serve we'll on either of two important committees, labor and manufacturers. If MT. Covert responds too readily to the party whip, as many fear he will, we look for considerable show of indepen- dence on the part of MT. Hall, who has never yet been driven to do any thing In fact, it would not be sur prising if he cut loose from party lines altogether when they interfere with
 an openminded and fair viewpoint on public matters. There is heavy work ahead for the legislature of 1917 and the men from this district will be watched closely The future political complexion of New Britain depends largely upon the manner in which they help to unfold the story of the present session. This is a progressive era.

 Many of the most magnificent edi- fees of ancient Samos were built during Polycrates' time. When he died the prestige of the island be- gan to Wane. It came successively
 under the dominion of the Athenian
 Greeks, the Romans, Byzantines, Arabians, Venetians, Genosse and Turks. In the Greek war of inde- pence it took up arms against it's Turkish masters. After peace was declared it became an autonomous principality, paying tribute to Turkey, but being ruled by a prince of Samos' who was Greek nominated by the sultan. In April of 1912. while tho Tripolitan war was in progress. two Italian warships entered the harbor
 of Vathy and torpedoed the Turkish
 'stationaire,' which had been kept there at the, disposal of the prince.
 During the Balkan war the garrison
 of a few hundred Turks was com- pelled by Cretan and Samian insur
 gents to retire to the mainland. and at the close of the war the Samians
 declared themselves in union with
 Greece.
 "The little town of Tigani stands
 near the harbor of the ancient coast
 of Samos. where the immense moles
 constructed by Polycrates have been
 rebuilt to some extent. The walls l and the celebrated underground aque- duct are the chief remains of the ancient capital. The former, which chamber over the ridge in rear of

A Great Blue Tent of Rest.
Christian Register).


 Edith Wharton, Americas foremost woman novelist, has been one of the most prominent women in Paris since the beginning of the European war. She has raised a large amount of money for sufferers among the allies, and she has turned her ability as g. poet to inspiring pity for the wronged and a general awakening of patriotic fervor among her fe1low-countrymen This new poem has recently been cabled to America: Come unto me, said the Flag,
 Ye weary and sore opprest; For I am no shot-riddled rag,
 But a great blue tent of rest. Ye heavy laden, come
 On the aching feet of dread, From ravaged town, from murdered
 home,
 From your tortured and your dead. All they that beat at my crimson bars Shall enter without demur. Though the round earth rock with
 the wind of wars,
 Not one of my folds shall stir. See, here is warmth and sleep,
 And a table largely spread. I give garments to them that weep. And for gravestones I give bread. But what, through my inmost fold. Is this cry on the winds of war? Are you grown so old, are you grown
 so cold,
 o Flag that was once our star? Where did you learn that bread is
 life,
 And where that fire is warm You, that took the van of a world
 wide strife,
 As an eagle takes the storm? Come up, come up to the stormy sky, Where our fierce folds rattle and
 hum,
 For Lexington taught us how to fly, And we dance to Concord's drum. O flags of freedom, said the Flag, Brothers of wind and sky; I, too, was once a tattered rag, And I wake and shake at your cry. I tug and tug at the anchoring place, Where my drowsy folds are caught; I strain to be off on the old fierce
 chase
 Of the foe we have always fought O People I made, said the Flag, And welded from sea to sea, I am still the shot-riddled rag
 That shrieks to be free, to be free. Oh, cut my silken ties From the roof of the palace of peace, Give back my stars to the skies, My stripes to the storm striped seas! Or else, if you bid me yield, Then down with my crimson bars, And OCT all my azure field
 Sew peoples instead of stars.
