 grand duchess of Luxembufg showed justified resentment at the manner in which Germany had disfegarded it's rights even as it had those of Belgium and used it's territory for the purpose of moving it's armies to Belgium ana Trance Germany of course claimed that it had acted simply because France had made similar move but the falsity of such claim was not hard to establish since France had not stepped d foot onto Luxefnburg and had even torn up the railroad which would have permitted it. She was however reconciled to the German ac- ton by the promise that Germany would pay for any damage that might be caused and from then on Germany did as 1t pleased. This has been re- sented by the people of the grand duchy and instead of knuckiinE to any German dictation in the future there is desire that republic be estab- iished. Whether the grand duchess can rally enough strength to prevent will be told by the vote of the peo- pie if in fact matters are carried that far

 Turkey is probably doing much guessing these days as to what is go- ing ito happen to it. but it will find that guessing is less costly than fight ing.
 Though it appears to have had quan- titles of war material it is becoming quite evident that Germany was near F stranded on the matter of food s-uffs.
 The man on the corner says: The most aggravating thing about this weather is that it is so hard to tell whether to wear summer ft1rs or low neeks.
 Even these ApriI-liks days are not unwelcomed by those who are desper- ately trying to reduce their coal con- sumption in order to it their pocket books.
 It looks as if the war had ended in plenty of time to let the baseball stars do the usual amount of haggling ovel their contracts before starting for the spring training grounds.
 The idea of President Wilson goina to Europe to address ths peace con ference is certainly far more inadvis- able than going as member of the delegation from this country.
 The lifting of the restrictions CT construction work has come too latt to permit anything to be done this year on the West Thames street i'm provement. but we still have some thing to look forward to.
 Germany plane to send its own ships here to get all the foodstuffs it wants That certainly is fine but Germans might as well understand that it mus take its place in line and get whir Mir.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR
HoIoennh Day.

Mir. Editor: Kindly allow me the space in your valuable paper to sug- gest that the coming Th2nksgivinJ day be known in this state as Holcomb day On Thanksgiving day Nov 2S, Conneeticut's grand old war governor, Marcus H. Holcomb, celebrates his f4th birthday. He was born in New Hartford Nov. 2S 1S44. By his prompt clear and forceful statements through out the terrible conflict the governor has risen to a resentment position. All the people of the state, regardless of political faiths. undoubtedly appre~ ciate the intellectual and moral strength with which he has grasped and voiced the great wars purpose.
 All over the country victory fetes are being arranged for Thanksgiving day, believing that the holiday lends itself most appropriately to exercises commemorative of the triumph of the allies arms and the virtual re-e5tab- lishment of peace.
 I earnestly believe, therefore. that it would be highly proper and patriotic for our commonwealth to observe the day as Holcomb day. There are many ways, of course, of showing Governor 1 his noble work. As a small token of 1 IlSSFSNt anu 4CiliCAtIpA etiltC Oil ilAN
 birthday, I would respectfully sugsGzt
 that all the people of the state
 shower" him with letters, postcards etc. Let all join in and plainly show
 our highly respected and esteemed i governor that we fully appreciate the good work he accomplished through out the war.
 Souvenir" William H Taylor.

ON TO THE RHINE.

In keeping with the provisions of the arnistiee the allied armies ara moving forward for the purpose of taking control of the evacuated terri tory in Belgium, Alsace, Lorraine and inc German provinces west of the Rhine. This advance iii which Amer ican expeditionary forces are partici- pating is proceeding at such a dis tance to the rear of the retiring Ger mans that no friction is to be antici- pated, and if the Teutons move with the same amount of speed there is no chance that any of them will be over taken, barring of course those which may be left for the purpose of turning over guns and other war material which must he placed in the hands of the allies Guarantees arc given that any such Germans will be properly safeguarded.
 The French and Belgian forces are moving eastward in Belgium and have taken control in Brussels and Antwerp. The American forces are going ahead in Lorraine and already the large centers there are in the hands of the allied forces as the ar
 
 mics move along the principal high ways a stated distance each day.
 These forces are not for the pur- pose Of giving battle unless opposition is encountered. It is not to be sup posed, however, that they are not pre- pared to fight If by any chance ii should be necessary. Their duty is to sec that the Germans retire in ac- cordance with the agreement and they will in due time completely occup3 the entire designated section to tte Rhine. including the important cities and Actresses which dominate thai territory. It Is Q triumphant marcF but one in which every precaution i: necessary in order to guard asains any possible treaehery. For tbat req son 1t is slower than it otherwise would be.

MEETING WAR NEEDS.

Many years after the time when it ought to have been giving the proper amount of thought to airplane devel- opment. the United States in the last part of the war showed what it was capable of in the way of producing heavier than air machines. It has been able to turn out not only ma chimes which would meet war require Ments but which were in demand by the nations which were fighting with ue. 1t has been seen what can be done in the way of developing not only q certain type of airplane but of put ting out an engine which ranks with the best
 But that is not all as is shown by the recent announcement made by John D. Ryan, director of, aircraft production, when he states that the effectiveness of the flying machines vas greatly increased by the use of radio telephones by which 1t Is pos Eible for commanders on the ground o direct the operations of the ma chimes while in the sir and for the operators to communicate with each elher while flying.
 The advantage of this can be read 1y understood. Experiments with wireless telephones had been made previous 10 the war but they had by TO means come into general use Through the study which was given to the matter after realizing the helr it would be in the war science baS risen to the occasion and bridged tke chasm SO that not only has distance been overcome but it is possible to make the voice heard through the no,se of the motor.
 It is certainly no insignificant ac- complishment and means that stil bigger strides can be expected in that direction. All the details have not as "et been revealed, but 1t is probable that there will be disclosed in time many ether devices which have beer perfected during the war in other di. rections which will show equally laud. able results in meeting war situations Certainly the world moves ahead ever # the war has put civilization back { century

BELe!yMs DEMAND.

Tt can be fully appreciated that Bel glum has had all the experience that it wants with guaranteeds neutrality. After having found that the solemn promise of Germany to protect it against the ravages Of war was only q scrap Of paper and that its neigh bor on its east lost TO time in taking advantage of it's helplessness to rush across its territory in order to strike c quick and telling blow at France, # is only quite natural that Belgium should want, and that it should get, iia full independence.
 Belgium has certainly shown that it is entitled 10 it and there is no req son why it should be denied the chance to take care of itself and look out for its own rights and protection. IL showed what it is capable of when it offered the opposition to the Ger man disposition to trample it under foot. It was one of the big surprises to Germany when 1t encountered the resistance which held back its army of invasion until it was possible fer inc French and British to organize for the check that was administered Hut for Belgium, Germany would have been able to have carried out its plan of an unobstructed drive on Paris. Ii took advantage of the little nation which had placed full reliance upon its euarantee, after having previously forstalled the establishment of very serious opposition by the promise that was d;sreg egarded.
 There can be no wonder that Bel. glum wants no more of that. It hat paid heavily. for it's experience and i E thoroughly justified in the demand that it be an independent rather thar buffer country. It is bound to stant as a glaring example of the danger eH guaranteed neutrality.

THE WAR PRIMER

San Marinc.-The National Geo. graphic Society issues the following war geography bulletin or the Allies fullest ally, the Republic of San Ma rino, which boasts a population Of Ill., 06J inhabitants. and an area of 3S square miles, entirely surrounded by the kingdom of Italy. The bulletin, which is based on a communication to tht Society from Alice Rehe, war correspondent on the Italian front, says:
 ''The little Republic Of San Marine has maintained its independence. it's ideals of liberty, in the midst of strife and bloodshed, of changiig social con- ditions, for sixteen centuries.
 Tn the most disrupting centuries Of Italian history San Marine had no factions. no strife between feudai lords and people, no domineering insolence Of conquerors, no lost rights to win dicate. Instead, the peoplt lived sim ply, changing their constitutions slow i!, according to the needs of the time, always adopting changes which were best for the development and conser- vation of liberty.
 "The quiet of San Marino is pro- verbal. From the slopes beneath the ancient fortress the sound of the stone cutters at work in the quarries recalls the story of the republics founder, St. Marine, the Dainatian stone-cutter, even into the N1eart of the capital. The Summarines1 Of to- day follow assiduously their founder s occupation. which is their principal in- dustry. Stone is carted to Rimini, 13 miles distant, and to ali the neghbor- ing towns and counsrysides
 Tn this tranquility there is small need of a police force. and even the militia of the fortress now used as a prison, was recently disbarded. The police force, with the exception of sew eral carabinieri, whose duty seems tt be to make picturesque details in the ! narrow streets, consists of the gen l darmes and the Noble Guard, nov
 called Guard of the Council. It Is their

HAD ENOUGH OF GERMANY

The spirit of unrest is widespread in Europe Changing conditions are having their effect not only upon the hantral powers but upon other na- tlons which are bordering thereon. Both Holland and Sweden have their agitators who are setting forth their demands. Switzerland found it nec- lesary to order the bolshevik com. mission out of the country and now there is a demand in Luxembourg for the abdication of the grand duchess.
 In most of these countries the threatened trouble does not give promise of amounting to much, but in Lnxemburg the grand duchess has de- elared that. she will give up her throne if such is found to be the wish after the people have been permitted to Esye expression to their preference in IrEard to such action.

AGAINST CHILE LABOR.

It makes little difference what 1t is, or what form it takes. any move which is made for the purpose of preventing child labor is bound to receive a cef- tain amount of opposition from that section of the country which is com mitted to it. The south has blocked action by the states and it is equally opposed to any move in that direction by the national government.
 1t is impossible. however. to dis regard the attempt which is now be- ina made to pass an anieridment' to the revenue bill whereby. Senator Ponie- rene of Ohio. the father of the bill would have a special excise tax of ten per cent. levied on the net profits se- cured from all child labor products.
 It is perhaps unfortunate that such q method has to be resorted to lf order to bring about much needed reform, but the end jtstiies the meafis and it can be appreciated that if a sufficient tax is placed upon pro- ducts of child labor it would remove one of the reasons for clinging to it.
 That congress is in favor Of elifni- HhIlHS Cllltu IdpVt was CVAC1aS4fefy shown by the passage of the federal child labor bill. That rnsasure woul'l DOW be in effect but for inc fact that it was declared unconstitutional by the United States supreme court Such a decision made it necessary to pro- ceed in another manner and the plan now is to protect the children of the country under fl years of age by making it unproftable for the employ CTS to resort 10 such cheap labor and the accompanying demofalizing effect upon the future citizens of the nation That the south will fight 1t can be ex- peeted but with the same support that the unconstitutiona federal bill re- ceived it should succeed.

A REIGN OF TERROR

T have been down to see my aunt off" Mrs. Simmons friend told her when they met in the tearoom by ap- pointment. q have had strenuous tlme and I want some very fancy ice cream to console me. 1 am afraid was really glad when her train pulled cut"
 T thought she was charming" Mrs. Simmons said. after she had ordered. And I understood she was to stay some time with you.'
 She's the dearest thing ever, agreed the friend, with sign. We love her more than we do any other one of our large circle of kin. but just the same it was an awful time. You see Aunt Martha has always lived in q lovely town about the size of min- ute and she never would come up to visit us because she was afraid of the city. You know the people in the smaller places never hear anything about Chicago unless there is mur- der or a divorce or something or other sensational like that Living ln' New England she sees only eastern papers and they don't think Chicago worthy of notice"
 T know it." laughed Mrs. Simmons "You never can find anything III one of their papers about any place west of Pittsburgh and they think that is wild and woolly."
 My Aunt had all the details of { terrible riot on the west side,'' tht l friend went on. She had read al about it in her paper and she told m. l all about it and the number of killet 1 there were. We had never heard 0
 it, as it happened. but of course my aunt thought we were simply covering l it tip. Of course, my husband and had written her all about the beauties l of the city and we were so eIoTuen that she finally consented to come ant make us visit. We put our heads to

Of course they drove on right of. but my husband got their number and will not have ] fhe bill to pay. However, that broke 1 tife charm and before the day was done we had four small accidents and were so banged up we had to come back on the street cars.

He would not have said any | thing about it, but he forgot to ask for transfers and when we got on the sec ond car he had to borrow of Aunt Martha.
