PROTECT THE FOOD SUPPLIES.

None too early and none too elab- crate are the efforts which are being put forward for the giving of added protection to the food supplies of the country where such happens to be in sfanaries, stockyards and warehouses. Such supplies may belong to this country or they may belong to na- ttons which are allied with us in the war. but they are all needed in the civilian population well as the ar- mics. And inasmuch as the country has been putting forth it's greatest eAerts in order to produce the grain, meat and other foodstuffs it is vital that every precaution should be taken to see that they are not wiped out in few hours time by a disastrous fire started by torch or a bomb placed by an agent of the enemy.
 1t is known what was accomplished in the way of burning vessels and their cargoes while this country was holding to strict neutrality. It is re- rsaepnbered how grain elevators and tAeir contents were destroyed by fire, while the losses which have been caused in Industries through incen- dtarism have been enormous. Such has all been aimed at .he crippling of our resources, whether they were intended for consumption and use in this country or elsewhere, and it is high time that determined steps should be taken to guard against losses Of this kind.
 Whether new ilkiings were secured concerning further plots in this direc- tiSu the surrounding of food depots with all possible protection is a move tE the right direction and at the same time no time should be lost in ferret ins out and punishing those who are matching or who are involved in any such schemes.

MORE v. M. C. A. WAR FUNDS.

Almost every conceivable campaign in behalf of funds has been inaugu- rated since the opening of the war. First it is for one thing and then an other, each following closely on. the heels of the other. However. not only are there new projects bobbing up but repeated demands are being made in behalf of the old ones for relief funds will not last forever and there is a steadily increasing service which can be rendered in that direction.
 Jus. now new attention is being directed to the new fund which is to he raised for the purpose of carrying on the Y. M. c A. work for which 5000. 900 is needed. It was not long sum for this very work, but war preparations have been going on in great volume and while the Y. M. c. A. is doing a magnificent work in the training camps and among the sol 'iiers in France, it is easy to under stand that the plans for increasing the army. the sending of troops abroad and the demands for such work in other countries besides that at home are such that what might have been considered sufficient at the starr is far from adequate.
 It is with this as it is with the fl ItdHSibS oA l4C CO0AtAJ part tIit war, it has been started and it must be carried through. The Y. M. C.. A. is rendering an invaluable service and it will continue to do so. The country wants the requirements of it's soldiers properly looked after and it is going 10 see that they are which means that the needed funds will be cheerfully furnished. The need will quickly, over come the fact that 1t is a second call.

tliefo exists a law requiring autotno- bfies to blow their horn on curves and where they cannot see 40 feet ahead. An auto horn blown is something Of the far past now and anyone driving on country roads or streets sn vil- lages are terrorfzed to find a fast driven auto barely missing them by a hairs breadth, and on the wrong side at that. Where are the officers that are supposed to look after such violations of the law. I think if that law were enforced there would be nc need of any more and the public would feel safer and be safer.

WHAT GERMANY NEEDS.
A German Socialist Said in 1907 That What Germany Needed Was Crushing Defeat.

A former editor of the New York Call, Hermans Simpson, who differ from the Calls present editor in as much as he is vigorously pro American and anti i-German. has called the atten- ton of The Vigilantes to the following passage from a book published in Ger many ten years ago and entitled Ger
 man Colonial Policy and the Coming Crash by a man who signs himself Parvus.
 "The evolution of France under Ma poleon III eliminated in Sedan and the Commune. The evolution of Germany is also rushing towards German Se- dan and German Commune. But cap italisn. the differentiation of classes end the development of the world market have assumed at the begin ming of the 20th gentry much vaster dimensions and far more acute antag- well as of politics than was the case in 1871 in France. Hence the effect must also be much greater.

LETTERS TO THE EDIT07
Asks For Proof of DisIoya,ty.

Mir. Editor: The narrowness and meanness of some men are at times sider themselves a very exclusive lot. and if bigotry. prejudice, and snob
 bishness are distinctions they easily hold first place. Among them even de- cency and propriety are of secondary to light the intolerant and hoorish spirit of men who pose s;s gentlemen gentlemen without manners. good breeding or common decency. The one who eapers around under the name of Fair Play, has had another interview with himself, and now appears in the dual capacity of judge and jury.
 He put many of his old 'chestnuts" polished up and roasted, in a nice row at the top, and then came to his masterpiece. After hawking it around to get the sound, he gives it to your readers. But his imagination is 'too previous" His trick of words doesn't bother anyone.
 Mr. Editor, I cannot allow my lOv- alty to be made a football. My stand before the entrance of my country in- to the struggle, was open and above board. and had my opinion the same as many more American citizens had theirs.
 Since we have entered the war, and challenge contradiction. am far more loyal than men who stoop to bear false witness against their neigh DOT we, WHOSE edrly UTealnS were of the joy and glory of the land of the Stars an1 Stripes, have stood up for America when others we know of scorned and held in contempt the Yankee. When our forebears were prosecuted because they displayed the stars and stripes on the occasion of national rejoicfngs. We have given our best to America, our blood has stained the battlefield in defense of American liberty: The unrivalled commander of Billingseate efforts to hrowbeat us into accepting his dicta- tion has failed, and, his voice is now Some people use their measured intel lect to phophesy. parrot like. and to praise 1avishly and indeed with aban- don, other places of hich they are a part. :.
 Certainly after reading their infan- tile efforts to appear either Intelligent or amusing, we are led to believe that their title was inaDpropriately applied And though we are led to believe that ''out of the mouths of babes :nd suck lings cometh wisdom the one in expectations. If you kI;ow of any dis loyalty Mir. May produce your proofs. If you have the liberty to make in public the statement which questions the honor of men, you should also have liberty to give us the proof. Your own character as man and an American l Is at stake. The only question now, is, ! whether you. MT. Fair Play. are the ] victim of 9 liar; or a jar yourself.
 Make good your charges and insin- l lated falsehoods or forever hold your l peace.

Stop Dreaming.

MT. Editor: Please let me tell my dream. It was a peculiar dream, all the more so because I am the proud grandson of the first Irishn1an that ever came to Windham county with the idea of making it his home. My grandfather came from, the much abused province of Ulster. He was what some call "A bloody far down." but in my dream only those who had done great things for Ireland showed up. The dream "'Twas a beauti- full spot in Donegal, proud old Rone- gal. the air was filled with scent from the bloom of Scotch heather. the lark and thrush made merry in the dell. as one by one the gallant he-- ros of the days gone by passed me in review.
 First Walf Tone, a hero of lis day passed by cheered by the Irish multi tude, but I saw no one named Cum mings in the throng. Then one by one of that clan passed in review un- till I saw an assenb1age selling Ire land to its future master. What pleas ed most, in the financial deal that throttled that beautiful isle, was that no Emmet, no Parne1l, no Montgomery in fact no Irish Protestant had a hand in Ireland's betrayal.
 A dark cloud passed over the beautf- full scene and a gallows loomed up in the foreground. These are the words I heard, Until my nation takes her place among the nations of the earth

THE WAY OF THE KAISER.

There has never been much doubt out what the kaiser does just about what he wants to. It isn't very often that he permits any interference with ais plans He probably gets all kinds If hdvfce but his position Is such that se let's 1t go into one ear and out the ,ther.
 How he Is going to act in regard to he chancellorship is therefore a mat er of much interest just at the pres mt time. In response to tho demands he German people have been told that heir Hghts are gsins to be increased ind that they were going to have nofe to say relative to their own af- airs but as yet that is about as much rpxrtss as has been made

New Rates Out of Proeor&ion to In. creased Cost Of Materiei.

New Rates Out of Proportion to In-
 creased Cost of Material.
 MT. Editor: It is an elementary prin- cipie of political econofky that certain economic factors determine the ebb and flow of population. One of these or communication by rail and the rates charged.
 If the present rate of fare to Nor wien Town is continued in force it will mean that noIders of property in this section will find that it will begin to deteriorate :n value. because tenants will find it cheaper to live in the city.
 The same is true of all property be- wIllimantic, as well as upon other lines of the company.
 We all admit that the cost of ma teriais has fnclTased, hut we contend that the company increased the fare out of all proportion to the cost of ma- terials. We are Of the opinion that 6n increase of 40 per cert on the Nor w1ch Town line and of 80 per cent on the New London, Willimantic line was unwarrarted by the cost of operation.
 If it was warranted it would be a benefit both to the public and the company to have suspicion cleared aNar.
 I am a firm believer in the princi- pies Of the republican party but I am not such a blind partisan that do not hold the public interest paramount Therefore I will never support po- iitical1y ahy republican who does not favor securing Q fair hearing for all parties in this matter. Many of my friends have expressed tho same opinion.
 feel certain that the citizens of New London and WiIlimantic will take measures similar to those taken by Norwich 90 that Eastern Connecticut can act as . unit in the matter
 It gives rise to expressions of sur prise in all partiesf that the head of the city government, who has hitherto acted in the most trival matters has taken no steps to aid the people in this question of primary and vital irn- portance to every member of the com murity.

From the outlines of the plan of the Federal Shipping Board it would seem that the coastwise tugboats are likely to keep the sea pretty steadily. Under new orders they will not take small tows up the bays and rivers. For example. a steamer east bound need not delay Boston barge at Newport till # takes one boat from it's tow and places it in Providence harbor and another boat in Fall River.

THE succRss OF THE LOAN,

Wfth good assurance that the Lib- erty loan has been subscribed for to at least the sum. of S, cod, ,000, GOO and that there have been between 5000, 900 and 10,eeo.eee who have put their n1ofley into Uncle Sam's hands for the prosecution of the war. there can be no question about the patriotism Of the American people or the fact that the country stands solidly back Of the government. The people rec ognize the fact that money must be had if the war is going to be carried to a successful conclusion and respect for our rights insisted upon and they are willing to provide it. They desire to lend their assistance in putting down German mi1ftarism and the plan of that country to dominate tho world. If there had been any ques- tion as to where the people of this country stood on that matter. 1t is no longer in doubt. The nation has endorsed all that has been done and all that is contemplated. They have recognized their duty and their privi- fsge and the display of such spirit as has been manifested throughout the four weeks during which the loan was being floating shows that the honor of the nation will be firmly upheld whenever the occasion requires.
 The loan is a tremendous success. It is 8 vote of confidence in the gov efnment, but 1t Is also a recognition m the part of the people that there Is role which. all can play even if all cannot fight and that while they are aiding the government they are also helping themselves not only as 8 nation but Individually American citizenship and it's responsibilities never meant more than ft does today.
