 ON WAR ACTIVITIES

been discussed in conferences with Northcliffe.
 Declaring every day news indicated about one-half of the men, both offl- cers and enlisted men, in the camps have never been trained with attll- lery or machine guns, Senator Mc- Kellar asked the secretary if he thought it wise to send men to Franco untrained.
 Secretary Baker replied that many artillery officers were being trained in France at a school turned over by the French and that it took more time to train artillerymen than off, cers.
 The plan of the department the secretary added, lis to give as much training in this country as is possible by concentrating artillery supplies in units likely to go to France first put in no case for them to be used in combat until their training is com~ p1eted on the other side. l therefore da not think it unwise to send men over who are not completely trained.'

MORE ALIENS REGISTER
But the Number Is Still Very Small Trouble May Follow Manner in Which Some Sign.

The work of registering the Ger man aliens continues at the police station, but there are still many to live up to the requirements of the law. Through the watchfulness Of Detective Sergeant Richardson, the fact was brought out last night that many Of the German aliens are aff1x- irg the word mo" after the clause that asks whether they have ever sworn allegiance to any country. In Germany every young man becoming 19 years of age must swear al- legiance and be ready for military duty. In some instances many of the local aliens were over this age when they left the Fatherland.
 Since yesterday the following reg istrations are reported: Rudolph Bradlau of Oak street, Theodore Nat ski of Francis street, Paul and Fred erick Bucholtz of 74 Woodland street, Emil A. Conrad of 319 Main street Carl Stockart, no address given; Charles M.

 ''G. A. QUIGLEY, Mayor" Russell Advises AoainSt Haste

G. A. NyOINTLAE MdyOr.
 Russell Advises Against Haste.
 In response to his telegram threat ening to confiscate coal passing through the city, Mayor Quigley this afternoon received a, telegram from Fuel Administrator Russell in which he advised him that it is contrary to all regulations to take coal passing through the city. He also assured him of all possible cooperation.
 Chairman E. w. Christ stated that two cars of soft coal for domestic use were received in the city this morning and immediately distributed. He also stated that he received word from the state administrator in which he was informed that on February there were IS cars of soft coal and three cars of anthracite coal at the May brook Junction yards consigned to this city. He did not know to what indi- Vlduals they were consigned, however, and he did not know when this coal would arrive.
 Trains Won't Stop Hero.
 Much publicity has been given the action of the mayor and chief of po- lice at Bayonne, N. J., where they stopped @ coal train and conf1scated the contents for their own city and 1t is a threat to emulate this act that the mayor makes in the above tele- gram. However, railroad men state that to prevent such acts, or to pre- vent possible violence or petty theft, tralnmen and engineers in charge of coal trains have been ordered not to stop in any cities or towns but are to proceed through every place until they arrive at their ultimate destina- ton.
 COngreSsInen to Help.
 Realizing that the situation is very grave, the mayor last night dispatched urgent te1egrams to Senator George P. Mclean, Senator Frank B. Brand egee, Representative Augustine Loner- gan and also to the office of National Fuel Administrator Garfield All of these officials, in the following replies, hold out hope for imnediate relief and assure the mayor of their CO., operation:
 "Garfeld office state that they fully realize situation in Connecticut Coal now going to Connecticut as fast as railroads can handle trains. Special train dispatch to your vicinity which will touch New Britain.
 FRANK B. BRANDEGEH."
 "Garfield says, J. J. Storrow, state house. Boston, has charge of coal supply for New England Telegraph Storrow full details, also Garfield Send me copies of our communica. tions. Will help all I can.
 GEORGE P. MCLEAN"
 "Garfeld will take up matter per. sonally. MT. Hope and MT. Russell who is here today says state admins trators have power to act. Will gladly cooperate.

Presidential Talk Silly.
Rockville Leader ]

If United States. Senator Harding of Ohio, who was the chief speaker at the Mckinley banquet at Water bury, has any presidential aspira- tions, he ought to pray to be de- livered from his fool friends. Boom ing him for the next republican pres idential nomination, as was done Waterbury, was ill-advised and i timed. Many things may happen
 fore 1920, and it is altogether
 early to trot out a presidential e
 didate. There are many possibilit
 and even Woodrow Wilson is one e. them. And if this great world wal continues for a year or more and America gets into the thick of it. some prominent American general may distinguish himself and become a military hero. Remember what happened to U. S. Grant? There are Generals Pershing and Leonard Wood and there are others All pres idential talk at this time is really silly. Let's all pitch right in and help win the war This is the big issue that looms before the world at this time. The presidency is but a side issue just now. Indeed we may we'll forget it altogether.

~ % Some Important Threads Around the National Capt.

New York for army purposes was a char
acteristic stroke.
The House Committee on Interstate
Commerce will have small difficulty in
drafting the necessary legislation for the
national railways plan or of passing it
through the House. The death of Senator
Newlands, late chairman Of the Senate
committee, is loss in itself, for Newlands,
while not man Of commanding ability,
was a painstaking student Of any problem
that interested him.
The seniority rule will give the chair
manship of this important committee,
doubly important now, to Ellison Duran
Smith, of South Carolina. Smith is not
u lawyer, and many contend that he could
never have become a good lawyer
The questions that come before this COM
mittee are mainly those dealing with nice
legal and constitutional points relating to
the important commerce clause Of the Con-
stitution. In the handling of such CUES
tons Smith, of South Carolina, could only
he considered joke, at least this is one view
taken in Washington. Pomerene, of Ohio

or, as Smoot made haste to explain, the
matter Of his coming was incidentally
mentioned' while he was on a visit to
Oyster Bay, the absorbing question re-
mains, What will he do when he comes?
Can he possibly observe. the self-denying
ordinance Of silence Of which we have
had advance notice? He has announced
himself in favor Of the Chamberlain bill
for universal military service and has
made some editorial comments, slightly
unfavorable, upon the attitude Of Secre-
tary Baker, as rejecting that Of President
Wilson, toward that subject
At the present moment the bill would
seem to have not a ghost Of chance in
the House, and it is likely that the SEN
ate, with knowledge Of that fact, will be
reluctant to engage in long discussion
Of moot question, to say nothing Of the
sentiment that universal service will add
not single soldier to the ranks in this
present war, the draft measure taking
care Of enlistment.
But if the Colonel really wishes to have
test Of strength with the Administra-
ton on that issue, there may be an cleo
trical storm here that will charge the
atmosphere to the remotest bounds of the
Republic. If he could persuade the Re.
publican party to commit itself to that
as an issue, the measure would probably
pass both houses Of Congress with the aid
! Of its Democratic supporters. But can he:

the determination Of that result. Very
well--wc shall win that decision"
"The menace Of a German peace" was
recognized by "The Toronto Globe" which
quoted President Wilson's statement upon
the declaration of war that German power
must be crushed"
Analysing the true meaning of the
offer "The New York Times" pointed out
that
"The German peace terms arc that the
status quo ante be restored to Europe The
status quo ante is the thing that caused the
present war and will cause more unless it
be utterly destroyed. But the status quo
ante Will never be restored exactly as it was:
tor under that status there were some ma
tons that did not enjoy the blessings of
permanent CONSUMPTION. England was one
and the United States, Brazil, Canada, Argcn-
tina and Australia were among the others
These nations will not be caught mapping
again."
"Thc Teutonic menace to civilization
must be eliminated" was the answer of
"The Indianapolis News .The Denver
Rocky Mountain News" stigmatzed favor
able discussion of it as "pcacc chatter
that softens nation" $50 far as the
Allies are concerned" "The Daily Okla
homan" thought, cit is hardly likely the
so-called peace terms will even provoke
New-York tribune. [volume] (New York [N.Y.]) 1866-1924, 1918-01-06

utterly destroyed the whole terrible war will
sooner or later have to be fought over
again."
"The detestable German system" said
"The Hartford Courant," "must be wiped
out before there can be real peace"
1t would be possible to fill many columns
with similar extracts from the country's
editorial pages and from expression Of
popular opinion in letters from readers.
The answer is wellnigh unanimous
PRUSSIA must be destroyed" before the
nations can talk Of peace.
The only notable exceptions were found
in "The New York Evening Post" and a
few papers inclined toward pacifism,
which correspond, measurably, to "The
Manchester Guardian" in England. "The
Post" saw in Count Czernin's offer some
thing (which the Allies are bound to en-
tertain."
"The San Francisco Chronicle" thought
that the peace proposals make "a founda-
ton, if not for negotiations, at least for
talking about Them 1t demanded that
all militarism, including British naval
ism" and "our own" must be abolished
along with German militarism. And "The
New York American" saw in the Russian
events justification of Lord Transformers
proposal and called for further defini-
ton Of Allied "war aims" adding:

is the member who ranks next to Smith,
and there has been some talk Of con-
test for the Craftsmanship, but the Demo
cratic steering committee will be slow to
change the seniority rule. If, as was once
suggested by former steering committee,
the election Of q chairman were left to the
members of the committee neither Smith
nor Pomerene would be considered when
il was possible to elect Robinson, of
Arkansas, or Underwood, Of Alabama.
1t was perhaps in view Of the Smith in
cumbency that McAdoo sent for Cummins,
ranking minority member, to consult with
him about the necessary legislation. The
lines are already being drawn in the Sen
ate over the question whether the average
net revenue Of the three last years is not
too high a sum for the government to
guarantee the railroads.
But the President can paraphrase the
remark Of one Of his predecessors concern
ing the Panama Canal: II have taken
over the railroads and Congress can de-
bate the accomplished fact"

survive separately. The most remarkable
case is the union Of two Middesex weeklies
Of opposite political opinions and traditions.
Many journals-esDecia!ly trade papers. de-
nominational organs and publications of So
cieties-have collapsed altogether While
there has been this heavy mortality rate
among papers already in existence, few nev
papers have been started and have gained
an enormous circulation. Some clever ex-
ploiters Of the public mind were acute enough
to notice that the war had killed Sabbatarian-
ism. .s. :,
"Wiaen Sunday school teachers, with tie
approval of their ecclesiastical supcriors.
were spending the day of rest in making
munitions, and when everybody was as keen
to get war news on Sunday mornings as on
other days, it was clear that the religious
objection to Sunday papers had been greatly
weakened. At least three new Sunday papers
have been started to take advantage of this
change Of feeling. One of them began with
million copies and has since gone beyond
two and half millions.
''These newcomers began their operations
before there were any restrictions on the
supply of raw material, and they were able
to procure a good deal of paper by buying
up licenses from persons who did not happen
to require all the material to which they
were entitled. In April last, however, new
regulation was issued prohibiting the pub
LEGATION OF any new newspaper without spc-
cial permission, so there will be no oppor-
tunity for any further ventures of this
kind"
