cHrNA'S TROUBLE.

As was to be expected the support CTS of the Chinese republic. and the number appears to be large, does not intend that it shall be brought to an end without a determined resistance. General Chang Hsun certainly put forth an ambitious undertaking when he seized the opportunity af- affairs in that country to launch the movement for the reesta blishment of the Manchu dynasty
 It is now i've years since China en- parked upon a republican form of gov ernment. It has had hard sledding and there have been many problems to overcome, as is to be anticipated when such a marked change takes place, but from the experience which has been gained it has been demon- strated to some of the greatest lead CTS in that country that it would be a colossal mistake to return to the monarchial form of government and they realize this to such an extent that they are going to lend their influence and participation in offering what they hope will be a successful resistance
 Those who are engaged in this un- dertaking are well organized and if it is possible to make any sort of an appeal felt they ought to have no trouble i'll accomplishing their pur- pose. Just what part Japan is going to play in this divided house remains to be seen. It is bound to have much influence on whichever side it throws it's weight. This country is of course desircus that the republic should be maintained as it has been from the start, and it is to be hoped that the impression which has gone abroad that the new dynasty is doomed to early failure is we'll founded upon fact

Mir Editor: Once more the president of the United States has called for volunteers to fill the ranks before re- sorting to draft Once more the governor of Connecticut calls on it's youth in the eleventh hour to come forward and present it's self and so uphold tte traditions of the state. This grand old state, that has ever been the back bone Of the nation. calls on it's young men to stand forth on the cause of justice and right.
 Where are the sons and grandsons of the men who in '61 and '65 upheld the stI ndard of Liberty? Have they wandered away from the home of their forefathers and left their ranks to be filled with aliens who care not for the traditions of-the fathers of our country. Where is the spirit that was shown in 1882? Tn an address de- hvered by Governor Buckingham in Brooklyn, Conn.,. July IS. 1862. much faith was placed in Connecticuts pa triotisn. He said. He believed Con neeticut would furnish her full quota without the resort to drafting" he said "She was slow but sure." and that ''the sons of Windham county would not wait to be drafted. That they would rather go as one honored cfti- zsn of Norwich. who when asked why he was leaving his family to enlist answered, 'I have a growing family and when my boys come to read the history of the war I would be ashar1l- father had no part in It."
 Brigadier General Taylor of Nor wich spoke at the same meeting He said in part: He had come to see if the spirit of Old Putnam had left the people. He wanted to see how many were ready to step forth and serve their country. The time has now come for action if we do not wish to disgrace those who founded our nation for US.

 Many promises have been made to Poland in the past few years for the purpose of appeasing- their uneasiness
 and in some cases to make up for
 past wrongs. Russia under the czar made it plain early in the war that better things were underway for those people and there was not a little con- fidence placed in the promise. It was some time after that Germany in an effort to increase it's strength by rais- ing an army among the Poles gave assurances of self government through the restoration of Poland. It made favorable impression upon certain element in that country but 1t failed to bring forth the results that were anticipated. In view of the scheming that was underway with the czar it must have been made apparent to those people that such was only a bait to secure their aid.
 This new assurance, however, can not fail to give much encouragement to Poland for whatever may have been thought of the intentions of the gov ernment as administered by the czar there cannot help being felt that there is sincerity back of the new Russia which will warrant full reliance and encourage them to do their part to bring about the much desired change.
 The present government has already instituted changes which are in line with. the promised freedom of Poland and it cannot help being realized that they are now dealing with new condi- tions which are in keeping with the changes which they have so long been seeking. Russia's determination to treat its own people right makes it apparent that It's provinces will get proper attention.

FILL UP THE NATIONAL GUARD

In connection with the recent ap- peal for volunteers to fill up the gaps in the regular army of this country, there was also included an appeal for enistnaents in the various branches of the national guard. In the week set apart to raise the necessary number neither effort was successful when it is considered that 70 900 were sought for the regulars and only about 10000 secured. while the national guard in many states is still some distance from full ranks.
 The time has been extended, how ever. in which to secure these men without making it necessary to wait for the draft. Long and persistent eff forts have been made to secure the desired number of volunteers. Each day shows a gradual approach to the mark and in time, moving at the pres ent rate the quota will be secured, but there is need for the young men of this country to rise to the occasion to realize that they have a duty to per- form and that they should not wait until they are called upon personally before they respond
 Everyone should be interested in seeing that the military organizations of his own state and his own city are brought to the required war strength. This is time for patriotic service. the greatest the country ever experi- enced and there should be an in- creased effort made during the com ing week, or up to the time when the state organizations are to be called out. to swell the ranks by furnishing the needed number of volunteers. Nor wich raised several companies when the nation needed them on previous occasions and it should be anxious to do equally well today when the local coast artillery companies are striving to secure their full quota before be- ing called into the national service

NO TIME FOR STRIKES.

It is most unfortunate that there should be so much, or in fact any, strike talk throughout the country at the present time. With prices high and large profits being made in cer- tain lines of business, it can be ap- preciated that the worker is entitled to a fair wage and that he should get it. There is no good reason why the rich should be made richer and the poor, poorer by the condition of things whether the country is al war or en- toying peace, but these matters ought to be and can be adjusted without a resort to strikes which of course means the crippling of industries and a greater loss for those who are seek ing to improve their income. The inn portance Of eliminating strikes ought to be appreciated at all times but es- pecially now when so much hinges upon securing as great a production as possible, and this ought to be re- alized in the copper mining districts where dangerous labor conditions are prevailing and in the shipyards where the tying up of the much needed work is threatened.
 Fairness should by all means pre- vail but this is a time for giving the agitatOrs a wide berth. Their efforts are directed towards the helping out OI the cause or the enemy, ana II the truth was known it is entirely possible that they are getting their financial backing from German sources The L w w. menace has called for sup pressiOn at other times, but particu- larly is there need of this now, and it should be appreciated by the wage earners that this is the time for re- spending to their patriotic duty by adjusting whatever grievances they may have without resorting to a strike and by doing their utmost to clear the country of those who are working in the eneny's interest.

WHEN VOLUNTEERS WERE ARDENT

| CWritten Specially for The Bulletin) Incidental to his narration of events during and preceding the celebration of the quarter Millennfal of Norwich, William c. Gilman, in his book deal ing with that big jubilation, reviews entertainingiy and ably some of the momentous happenings in national as well as focal life which deeply con = cerned Norwich in the fifty years be- Especially is this summary of hap penings of interest now. when Con- necticut is trying to recruit for the regular army and to~nake sure Of her quota in each branch Of Uncfe Sam S service.
 Of the events in the half century preceding 1909, as MT. Gilman writes, foremost in time and importance was the war for the Union. beginning with the attack on Fort Sumter in April 1S61 and ending with the surrender at Apponattox, in April. 1864. Partic- uiar1y timely Is it now to review these events, the story of which cannot be too often told for the benefit and in spiration of each new generation. /
 To every household in the land, North and South, Mir Gilman re- minds us, the war brought deep sor- row for the loss of kindred and friends, while to many it brought also peculiar hardship and even destitu- tlOn. DuL IL 0eIeTInlueQ forever no state may of it's own vo1ftfon- se cede from the Union: it abolished slavery; and guaranteed that the right of no citizen of the United States to vote shall be abridged on account of race, color, or previous condition of servitude

Mir. Editor: Some months ago our little school house on Village Hill was presented with an American flag. but we have no means of displaying it be- cause we haven't a pole and the school authorities seem to take no interest in getting us one.
 Village Hill welcomes the privilege of being asked to contribute towards the fund of flag raising today at Leb- anon. Is it too much to ask Lebanon to reciprocate by using it's influence to secure us a poie-for our school flag and thus give US a chance to show our patriotism? .?

 l do not believe any woman enjoys carrying 9 ten dollar purse with noth- ing in it but a few carfares. a safety pin and a few samples of dry goods. But married man who credits him self with all his successes and his wife with all his failures is mean enough to equip his wife in such a way. A man doesn't think it is nec- essary to have more than a 30 cent purse. for he pulls his roll of bills out of his hip pocket, or from inside his vest. Somehow a woman carries 8 purse as if it was something to make a show of: but man never has one fit for exhibition purposes. When it comes to currency the man has his wad, while the woman has her limit. It seems to me there is class of men who carry fine wallets wadded with paper to form a basis for credit to which they are not entitled There is considera ble art in seeming: and seeming has no sex limit. If woman cannot keep a secret she can conceal the meanness of her mate and make him seem really to be worthy of her.

The Buckingham Memorial is more, he declares, than a monument to the officers and sod diers of Sedgwick Post; it worthily commemorates one who, as a mer- benefactor of Yale University. the Broadway Church and the Norwich Free Academy, as Mayor Of Norwich twice elected, as presidential elector in 1856, as Governor from 1858 to 1866 and United States Senator from 1869 and 1875 was iiustrious as the most distinguished citizen of the town of Norwich.

Obstacles loom mountain high, there are rushing rivers to cross. seems to come to full stop There is no use in struggling longer we say the adds against us are too heavy.
 Under stress Of sudden and griev ous sorrow, for instance. men may experience a sort of paralysis of the will. The most pathetic thing about the death of our friends is not in any loss to those who go out into the larger life of heaven, but in the bruised and shatterel state of those left behind. It is hard indeed to take the burden up where our dear ones have laid it down. It is so very hard that some times. people even fail to. make the attempt King David mourning for his son Absalom in his chamber over the gate, while the bus mess of state was neglected. is case in point.

His private griefs were not allowed to intrude upon his public arf ic great Englishman John Bright, sit ting in the shadows of his bereaved home, but rousing himself, at the sug gestion of friend, to work for the spelled misery for the poor of his country.

To rally all our powers. to resist every temptation to sloth or disheartenment, to do. our "bft' for human welfare while time for us shall last, this is a good. gospel for the day to thousands of waiting lives.
