WILSON HOLDS WHIP HAND

Will Not Summon Congress Unless to
Declare War. ~.
Washington, Feb. 28.-President
Wilson holds the whip hand. He is
represented as determined not to con.
vene an extra session of congress for
any purpose short of declaring war.
It appears he does not consider the
sinking of the Laconia as warranting
such step. "
The president holds he has the pow.
er to arm ships without any special
action by congress. Should a fi1ibus.
ter defeat the bills he has asked he
can act on the authority given him by
the Constitution.

Ing for Upper Body to Take Initiative.
Washington, Feb. l28.-America's
answer to the German submarine
campaign of ruthlessness waits on
congress.
After President Wilson and mem
bers of his cabinet had considered
the latest reports Of the unwarned at
tack on the liner Laconia, resulting in
the loss of American lives, it was de-
cided to await action on the bills to
empower the president to arm Ameri-
can ships before further. steps are
taken by Mr.. Wilson. i
Two measures, agreeing in almost
every particular with the request OF
the president as announced to con-
gress, are before that body.
The senate foreign relations body
reported out The bill by divided vote.
Further action on it was blocked by
Senator La Toilette, who objected to
it's reference again to the committee.
Under the unanimous consent rule
it cannot come up again until Thurs
day.
The, house is waiting the action of
the senate, but is reasonably certain
to meet the wishes of the president.
Action Can Be Forced.
Action under a special rule in that
body can be forced at any time by
administration leaders should such a
course become necessary. --..
In the senate, too, administration
spokesman profess confidence there
will be no denying the president the
| full authority he asked.
An attempt by Representative Por
ter, Pennsylvania, to amend the house
! committees bill so that ships carry
| ing munitions or contraband coul6
not be armed caused the division Of
sentiment in the house committee.
Chairman Flood learned that the
president would not consent to amend
ment and the bill was reported in its
original terms.
The senate committee voted tt
! strike from the original bill thu
words SHOULD it in his judgment be
come necessary for him to do so,'' re
ferring to the power to arm ships.
An amendment to "direct" the pres
ident to take this action was rejected
by the committee.
Senator La Toilette, whose objection
blocked consideration of the bill, sal.
that he wishes to study the measure
thoroughly before he decides on hi
action. s'.F

SCOUTS MAP OF
 TOWN GREEN VICINITY
Work of Unusual Merit on Exhibition
 in Main Street Window.

A display of unusual merit will be found in one of the windows of Por- teous & Mitchel1s. The owner of it is one of the 16 year old members of Troop g, Boy Scouts of America. The display in question is a large map of Norwich Town Green and vicinity. In making this map, there were consumed every afternoon and two evenings of one week; in all a total of tf1irty-thr hours of actual work.
 All of the distances along roads, fields, and streams, were paced out by the boy. Compass directions have also been carefully noted and the red contour lines. showing the variations in land heights were taken from gov ernment geological survey map, the scale being changed to correspond with the scale of the scouts map, which is 100 feet to the inch. By means of various symbols with which a scout must be familiar the may shows in detail, the nature of the country. The details are as follows: Roads, streets, pathways, houses, barns, sheds, schoolhouses, churches, post office, plowed or cultivated land. grass or woodland, trolley roads, stone walls, brooks, streams, and bridges.
 All this work has been done by this scout in complying with one of the re- quirements of a first class scout test, which call for an ineligible rough sketch map drawn from field notes made on the spot. The work is high ly commendable.

Such history instructS us in the knowledge of the human heart, a knowledge which in point of importance is second only to the knowledge of God. The history befors US is all of this character. The man and there are some good things to be said about him. His king Fec- ognized him as finely equipped gem eral, he was an honorable man, gener- ous, but he was a leper. With all his fine equipment. with all his power he was unable to rid himself of ter rible disease. Like many of us of the cure seemed to him foolish. We today occupy positions of3atrust with every opportunity open before us with place and power in eyes of men may have one weak spot. There is offered to us one cure so simple that to many of us it seems foolish. That cure is found in, and only in, a belief and the and Savior. Christ.

 Since the opening of the Reforna- tory in June, 1913, there have been 315 boys paroled of whom a gratify- ing percentage are known to be nak- ing good" Religious services, Protes- tant and Roman Catholic, have been made compulsory in attendance to the betterment of the inmates. the nnili- tary drill, instituted last spring has bettered the health and carriage of the
 inmates teaching them prompt and willing obedience.
 Expenses have increased somewhat owing to the high cost of living and necessary salary increases and part ly because the late spring prevented as much return from the farm as was expected.
 The directors, Morris W. Seymour, Charles Hopkins Clark. John P. El- Cook, say they have constantly in mind that the object of an institution of this kind is primarily reformation. To accomplish this, the desiderata, we are convinced, are:--Health, self control, occupation, both mental and when possible constant exercise of the powers, restoration of self-respect, we'll learned trade, sufficient education to appreciate the duties of citizenship with moral training that easily dis tinguiShes between right and wrong mind the board of directors believe that the Connecticut Reformatory- will do all that can be done for the in- mates of the institution.
