SPAIN AND GERMAN PROMISES.

What is Spain going to do about the escape of the interned German submarine? This is q question which is bound to interest all the other coun- tries whether they are belligerent or neutral. It will be interesting to see whether Spain decides to conf1ne it's action solely to the bettering of its own methods for preventing of such escapes in the future by removing the crews from the vessels. placing them in internment camps and refus- ing to accept their premises that they will not escape, or whether it will de- mand an apology from Germany for the breaking of their parole by the Herman crew and at the same time demand the return of the escaped sub marine.
 Spain has every reason. for looking upon the escape with resentment. It can of course punish these of it's own subjects whose negligence made it possible for the submarine to be .op erated and to get away, and of course 1t can place the entire blame upon the crew and charge 1t up to a breaking of promises, but as a neutral nation 1t should of necessity feel it's respon- sibility to the belligerents on the other side and should be anxious to show that it had no hand in the get away.
 That Spain Is not likely to present any very stiff demands to Germany can be inferred from the stand which it has taken throughout the war. There have been other instances where it has had cause. like other neutrals, for holding Germany to strict accounta- bility, and this is especially true where it's vessels have been sunk and lives lost, butt Spain has refrained from doing anything which might lead 1t to the. brink of war. But regardless of what course it pursues in this matter it has received added reason for believ- ing that 8 German promise, whether from the government or a submarine crew, amounts only. to a scrap of pa-

FACING THE INEVITABLE,

Without coming forth with anything definite in the way of peace proposals Germany has been foundering about fn an effort to feel the pulse of the allies regarding certain things that it might yor might not be agreeable to. These can be only regarded as test propositions.
 ssGermany knows how Great Britain feels in regard to Belgium and there have been indications. that it was will Ing to abandon northern France and Eelgium and even participate in the restoration as a basis for the signing af peace. It is also recalled that there bfe instances where peace claims Nave been made only to be almost inn Biediately denied. Now it has been said mat the one obsta.ble which stands in the ways~of peace is the insistence' of France thct Aisace Lorraine be re- Tored as part Of that country.
 This of course can be interpreted IS an effort to cause resentment inong the other allied nations and to make them feel that France is block ng the end of the war But that is Surely a German scheme. How Great Britain and the other allies feel about hat matter is reflected by the express ions of Premier Lloyd George and former Premier Asquith Hho declare that no such move on the part of Ger many can cause a split between the entente nations.
 Germany is lodging from one bush to another. In spite of the demand which exists in that country and with greater insistence in Austro- Hungary for peace there is a reluctance on the part sofs the imperial German govern ment to get down to brass tacks It Is bound up in its insistence upon victory for Germany but the trend of events must be causing deep anxiety among tine pan German leaders as they face tic inevitable.

Turkey at a vulnerable point had 1t lived up to it's treaty with Serbia.
 But regardless of the past. the an nouncement to the effect that the Greek army will be ready soon to en- ter into active participation in the war portends many possibilities in that region For many months the allied forces at Saloniki have been almost at a standstill. For a time the uncertainty of Greece was. respon- sible for, it but after that was over- come tho advantages which were pos sessed were decreased by the Teu- tonic driYe through Rumania- Now, however, With the added strength to be gained from Greece General Sar- rafIC will De in position to not only keep the forces Of the central powers engaged on that battlefront but he will be able to contribute to the suc- cess of the other allied armies by forcing Bulgaria and Turkey to keep their soldiers at home instead of send ing them elsewhere as achievements if in fact he is not able to make se- rious inroads into their territory.

HELP.THRoUeH THE LOAN.

There is nothing which causes great CT uneasiness for the enemy than the strengthening of the allies at any par ticular point for the purpose of carry ing out a greater offensive. Germany is conscious Of the fact that if it can hold out long enough, even though it .s not able to win a decisive victory, 1t will be in a position to back up it's demands when it comes to serious discussion of peace.
 It is likewise fully aware that every ern1y division that is added to the al- lied armies operating in France, es- pecially if those divisions can be in- creased until they mean a million or more men, that every increase in ar tillery, that all additions to the air plane corps, as well as the turning out of sufficient shipping to more than offset the losses which are being caused by their submarines mean That it's chances for victory are being reduced and that an advantage is be- mg gained by its opponents which it is unable to counterbalance. And when Euch reinforcements can be placed at the disposal of the allies the day when peace will be declared will be brought just 50 much nearer.
 That is what the American partici- patton in the war is going to mean 1Acic nave DeeH Hidny nara DlOWS Qe- hyered against the German lines but none will have any greater or more far reaching effect than the success of the second Liberty loan.

STORIES OF THE WAR
Nights in Aerodomes.

Night, as well as day, is full of work and hustle at an army aero but the night is the time when the mechanics are busiest putting every thing right for whatever tomorrow may bring forth.
 Long after the sun has sunk be- heath the tops of the hangars and the trees have changed from green to black, the hardworked aeroplanes drift homeward, crossing the evening sky like black specks on a purple cloth and landing with a deep dron- weary from a long afternoons work over the lines.
 The days work is finished; re- ports are handed in, and the pilots among the trees. The mechanics ap- pear. wheel the machines into their respective hangars, and the nights work Is begun.

Air planes are after all very delicate piec- es of mechanism and need continued attention. Without it they are use- less. even dangerous. The accuracy of hundreds of parts. are essential to good flying and reliability, and just as much depends on these factors as on the skill of the pilot.
 The airpLane mechanic doesn't share the dangers of the field or the hardships of the infantryman. but he has endless work. and very heavy responsibility. When there is heavy fighting he must frequently work, all day and all night. and woe betide the pilot if he should skimp any of his work.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR
What Next?

MT. Editor: Kindly allow me a small space in your paper to ask what the Shore Line Electric company calls service. They have notices in their cars stating we want service. So we do, but not the kind they are giving us now. They have got the fare they wanted and this is what the people are getting. The car that is supposed to leave the square at SIS D. m., due 10 arrive at Norwich Town at 6.35 p. m. for the last three nights arrives at 6.5O. Us 1aboring men want to get home at that time after getting through a days work at o'clock. That Is the service we are getting. I call 1t rot ten.

GREECE NEARLY READY

Throughout the entire war it has been appreciated that the army of Greece. even though it does not meas ure up in numbers to those of some other countries. could render much as- sistance to the allies. It is even claimed by those who are in close touch with the situation even by venizelos himself, that if Greece had entered the war when i. should and when he desired it the chances are that it would have been over today. There. are good reasons for believing that had it been sent against Turkey at the 4. time when that country was poorly prepared that the great blum der in the effort to force the Darda- nel1es would have been prevented.

In other churches of the town there were special sermons during the day. The evening was largely devoted to family reunions and informal social gatherings. The weather was genuine Norwich weather, MT. Gilman recalls, such as Norwich expects to have on her high festivals; and thus the cele- bration was begun under the most favorable conditions.

The near philosopher who said it is easier to play on a hand organ than lit is to play upon some folks sympa thies" had good perception. Most peo- pie are not conscious that their sym pa thies were ever intended to be play ed with, or have they learned there is in souls a sympathy with sounds and as the mind is pitched the ear is pleased" Sympathy needs recognition and masterly discipline for nothing oftener leads good people in the path of error or feolishness.
