The attempts on the part of cities to
tax and regulate the jitney out of ex-
istence are not upheld in the courts of
Connecticut. The Supreme court of
thestate has handed down a decision
which smashes most Of the jitney or
dinances in the state, and in some
cases, at least, will mean that jitney
men can force cities to disgorge all
that has been taken from them in the
form of license fees. We have main
tanned from the start that the attempt
on the part of cities to demand licenses
for the driving of motor vehicles is an
interference with the automobile law
of the state, and the Supreme court
was held it to be so.r The only lay
by which police departments may reg
ulate jitney buses is the automobile
law. We by no means hold that to be
a sufficient law for the protection of
the public, as readers of this column
may know. But such as 1t is, we
must look to it for protection until the
legislature gets ready to give us a bet
ter one. 1t is necessary that the state
automobile laws should supersede and
bar out conflicting or modifying or
dinances passed by towns and cities.

OTHER VIEW POINTS

Thus early in the legislative season
we venture to remind the members
of house and senate that there is an
endless chain of waste paper baskets
yawning for the reception of the un-
necessary, frivolous and log rolling
houses to overlooking. The prompt ac-
quaintance OF the one with the other
will bring the end of the session
much nearer and make for economy

A democracy in time of peace is
better, most lovers of freedom will
insist. For many of us, even its dan
gers and disadvantages are more
precious than the material security
which an imperial autocracy gives.
But there is no reason in the world
why a democracy should not enjoy
its freedom and at the same time Sc
cure itself against the perils of war

Naturally the librarians of the state

of fitness for good work in the library
include liberal culture, general intel

cfal tasks into which library work is
divided. Civil service can pick ac-

Happy to Die For His Country.
A sad story a tragedy not of
things, but of personals contained in
the letter of a refugee from Rackheim,
Ia village in the Belgian province of
Iimbourg.
1.-THE news that the Germans at Has
self had executed Henri C. reached his
native village only last Wednesday,
November 8. At once the bell was
tolled at the church, letting the peo-
ysternation was great among all our

from all the surrounding communes.

last moments of Henri G. To the end
he bore up under the hard trial. I
have read a few touching verses which
he wrote for his last farewell to his
mother and sisters, and to his broth
err, who is at the front. He speaks of
his happy fate-happy in giving his
life for his King and Belgium-and
offers himself as sacrifice in the
great cause Of Right and Justic and
Liberty.
tIt is heartrending that one of his
sisters, on that very morning of Octo-
Der 4, brought clothes for her brother
to his prison. 1t was that he was go
ing to be deported to Germany The
German guard ordered her away
roughly, and told her nothing could be
of any use, because he had to die.

broke out weeping and crying. Her
brother had been shot that very morn

Our objection to the settlement of

prohibition created by amending the

objection to equal suffrage created by

questions which should be left to state
consideration. The habits OF Ccnnec-

pie of Georgia or California. Now
that the supreme court has found the
Webb = Kenyon law constitutional
which protects prohibition states
against the expectation Of liquors in

for prohibition by constitutional en-
actment disappears. Now that any

STORIES OF THE WAR
The Last Musketeer.

The only Frenchman who of late
years had kept alive on the boulevards
of Paris some of the traditions of the
epoch Of DArtagnan and Cyran0 de
Bergefac- Rouzier-Dorcieres, is one of
the wars latest victims, THE Last
MuSketeer," as he was often called,
had participated in more duels than
any man of his time and perhaps he
held the worlds record. He fought
for his own account more than a score
of times and directed as second more
than a hundred encounters.
Like both D'Artagnan and Cyrano
de Bergerac he had the quick blood
of the South of France in his veins
and was romantic in speech and act
His wide brimmed felt hat, his shining
black locks and aggressive bristling
mustache and imperial were familiar
to every habitue of the boulevard
cafes, nearly every one of which had
at some time or other resounded with
his discourses, controversies or procla-
nations. He was one of the figures
of Paris that were pointed out to visit
ing pfovincials.
He was not himself a particularly
expert man with a sword. but his i'm
petuousity often made up for lack of
skill and overwhelmed his adversary
at the outset.
At the outbreak Of the war he en-
listed as a machine gunner in the
aviation corps and contracted in the
service the illness from which he died

RUSSIA'S ARMY AT FRONT
WILL SOON BE STARVED OUT

Petrograd, Nov. 18.-(DelayeO.-
Russia s army at the front will soon be
defeated by famine and will abandon
its positions, unless there is immediate
improvement in transport and supply,
according to the warning voiced by
delegates of the soldiers committee to-
day.
Prolongation of the war under pres
ent conditions, they are reported to
have told the Soviet, is utterly impos-
sible. The army is now only supplied
with rations enough for three days it
was asserted. This gave warning and
belief that starvation among the sold
iery would result in terrors worse even
than those of the civil war now raging,
caused the gravest apprehension here
today. The Bolsheviki government has
been unable to agree as yet upon the
form of compromise looking to restor-
alton of administrative functions. A
committee consisting of Bolshevikf rep
resentatives and members of the left
wing of the social revolutionaries,
sought on Saturday to arrange gov
the general workmen S and soldiers
council. This $50, however, was to be
so divided that the local Soviet or
Bolsheviki forces would be represented
with $50 members, the peasant parties,
the army, navy, trades unions and
socialists being granted small represen-
tation.
These latter elements are insisting on
smaller Soviet representation and the
situation is still deadlocked.
1t was this situation that led to a
split in the Bolsheviki ranks. Five
Lenine supporters resigned from the
cabinet, insisting that an all-socialist
compromise government was necessary
and being opposed to the overwhelming
BolsheviH control demanded by Trot-
sky and Lenine. These two latter, how
ever, are still firmly in power in the
councils of the new regime here.
Large unknown forces of troops were
reported approaching Petrograd today.
Dispatches from Moscow received
here assert the city in the hands of the
Bolsheviki, but General Kaledine of the
Cossacks, was said to be advancing
north Of the Donetz basin. The casual
ties in the Moscow fighting were esti-
mated at from 1000 to 5000. Fighting
around the Kremlin was bitter and long
drawn out.
The scheduled general railway strike
had not been called today. Workmen
arranged a conference with the city
council, but the latter body refused to
meet them.

/ gram from Ambassador Francis this
afternoon said that formation of a
compromise ministry was not effected
finally, but coalition composed chief
ly of socialists was now being suggested.
The Petrograd city government refuses
to recognize the Lenine-Trotsky regime,
Francis reported.
The state department said officially
there is not now any thought of re-
moving Ambassador Francis and said
it had heard of no suggestion for the
departure of any diplomats.
At the Russian embassy here, it was
stated permanent success of the ,Bolshe-
wiki rule rested entirely upon American
and entente support.
"The peace which the Lenine-Trot-
sky forces promised is unattainable un-
less other countries declare for it, -
said an embassy official. Since this is
impossible, Russian peace is impos-
sible and without immediate peace the
entire Bolsheyih program must col
lapse.'
