COUNT KARoLYps VIEWS.

Even though the opponents of peace without annexation or without in- demnities may seem to have the upper hand as displayed by the proceedings at the peace conference of the central powers with the bolsheviki at Brest- Litovsk, it is quite evident that they do not represent the attitude of all the people of those countries or all the leaders.
 This is reflected by the indicated changes which are to be made among the German high officials especially the chancellor and the foreign min- ister. But in addition it cannot be over looked that Count Karolyi, the Hun garian statesman voices the sentimen, of a large part of the people of his country when he approves in genera the terms of peace as presented bJ President Wilson and declares that z lasting peace demands the renuncia. tion of all annexationist aims and tht complete characterization of all of tn, belliserent powers.
 Just at this time his latest state ment is of much interest in view 0 the fact that he considers that 9Th | problem of nationalities in Hungar, will solve itself automatically whel the whole system of government ha. been democratized. The Mittel-Eu ropa scheme will inevitably result il the perpetuation of war, and is to b | condemned on that account Freedom
 in commercial relations is a necessar | attitude to a lasting peace, and Hun gary must have free hand in al
 economic questions and not be boun
 to Germany by any -standin
 agreement" | It is quite evident that all is not unit
 among the people of the central pow CTS, but it is question how soon thi
 opposition can break down the Ger
 man dictation and secure that democ
 ratization which Count Karolyi insist l is necessary.

MAJOR A. P. GARDNER.

The deep regret caused by the death of Major A. P. Gardner of Massachu- setts will be felt far beoynd the con- gressional district or state which he represented at Washington before en- tering the military service of his country. He was greatly admired throughout his district which would undoubtedly have returned him to con- gress as often as he would have ac- cepted reelection, and in congress he had done admirable work in behalf of the army and navy. He was out spoken in his opinions and stood for bringing out the facts regardless of the revelations or who might be hit
 Congressman Gardner was a prom nent figure in the lower house at sev- eral sessions. It was he who brought attention to conditions existing in the navy when the submarines were in g deplorable condition. He insisted up. on improvement in that branch o1 the nations defense and he persistent ly demanded the betterment of thu army. During the months precedins the entrance of this country into tn, war he insisted upon adequate prepa ration and emphasized his efforts b, calling attention to the conditions the1 prevailing.
 After this country entered the wa he resigned his seat in congress ant entered the army. His post as colone on the adjutant's staff did not prom ise active service abroad and he SC cured a demotion to major that h might get into the trenches. But fo his efforts in behalf of his countr he would undoubtedly be alive today His service has been that of a tru patriot and the country will mour his loss.

THE COAL SHORTAGE.

According to figures which are put forth by the anthracite trade there were over 100000 more tons of hard coal distributed during the month of December than m the same month a year ago and for the year 1917 there were about ten million more tons dis tributed by carrier companies, than in the preceding twelve months. Even then there were serious handicaps en- countered and at the same time there has been a decided increase in con- sumption.
 It is claimed also that there is more chan enough coal to take care of all the demands of New York and vicin- ity now at tidewater, even though less than half the amount that is required is actually gotten to the metropolis where it can be used. Thus the rail- roads insist that the trouble in dis. trfbution cannot be all laid to them It gis thus evident, as it has been fol a long time, ethat sufficient attention has not been given to the facilities fol getting the coal from tidewater points by boats to those localities whicF have always depended upon that ser. vice. Instead Of more vessels beine put into such service great many of those which were thus engaged have been withdrawn.
 It is because of this that New Eng. land is in its present condition. I . has always gotten a large par: of it coal by water and yet in spite of tha those facilities were withdrawn ant the burden placed on the overtaxec railroads. It is therefore unfair t, place the blame for the shortage ol the roads since it is the curtailmen in the water traffic that has been on, of the chief causes of the trouble.
Norwich bulletin., 1918-01-16
UTILIZING AVAILABLE VESSELS

Apparently the shipping board is be- ginning to realize the necessity of put ting into service the many vessels in this country which are either idle or which can be diverted to national re- quirements. This is evidenced by the communicating of the two large steamers of the Central Vermont road which have been tied up for three years at New London. Why they should have been permitted to remain idle when the needs of this country for ships of all kinds have been SC great has long been a puzzle. They may not be available for all kinds oi
 use but they can certainly be turned
 to some use and thereby release other
 ships which may now be engaged il
 the work which they can do.
 Again it tscan be appreciated that ths
 idea of taking over the larger sailing vessels with a tonnage just short of { half million is one which has beer delayed too long. These vessels, whil, slower than steam and not the kint which can be sent into the submarin, zones for that very reason. can rende a most valuable service in the coast wise traffic and the best possible ser
 vice for which they are fit should b gotten from them.
 The shipping board is properly in terested in getting the ranks of tn 1 shipbuilders filled and in creating | reserve of men who will be skilled il that line of work, but it is only prope that every facility should be take | advantage of in the meantime, and il 1 this connection the taking over o | the neutral ships tied up in our har | bors ought not to be longer delayed.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

The Past Years City Administration. MT Editor: Our economical admins tration of the past year. has been in
 my opinion complete failure as far
 as the expenditure of the appropria- tiens is concerned. and with your per- mission and the use of a portion of your paper. would like to call the at- ! tention of the tax payers of the city | to several of the items: First, Thames street improvement.
 | We were called into a city meeting
 in the summer of 1916 and told that 1 the expense for widening the street
 would be s46,000. and at that meeting twe appreciated s45,00O to cover the
 same Later on another special city meeting was called and we appropriat-
 ed s13,54350 Of these appropriations
 made according to the city treasurer's report up to May 18th. 1917, there was spent S47,647.1S. which is s2,64718 more
 than the original estimate and the work was not completed. So it wa: necessary at the regular city meeting held in June. 1917, to reappropriatt s10,sS5.32, since which. there has beer added to the appropriation another s8,756.S5; under the title appropriation. | Tn the LreaSurerS report or NOVemDe 22, 1917. which makes total appropria
 tions for said street widening, s67, i29935.
 And in said report we find that be
 tween May 16. 1917 and November It 1917, there has been spent $23,565.52, s
 the report shows an overdraft of $3. 913.35. The amount spent from tn
 time said widening was begun, ac l cording to the present report was $71, , 212.52 or $26.212.42 more than the orig ) inal estimate. To the above amour } must be added an appropriation of $7, 500 for the road bed which makes tn l total cost of the entire improvemer s77,712.52.

ordinary repairs and expenses $S2,000 and for the collecting of garbage and ashes $13,000, which makes a total of $45,0o0.
 Now we will compare these appro- priations made for the same items at the regular city meeting, held June, 1916, for ordinary repairs and expenses S32,000, garbage and ashes, $7,500, or a total of $39. .560, which shows that we appropriated $5.5o0 more for ordinary repairs and expenses in 1917 than we did in 1916. and we were told at the city meeting of June. 1917, that the reason for asking for the increased appropriation of garbage and ashes, was that the maintenance of the teams had always been paid for out of the or dinary expense account, and they wish ed to keep the two accounts entirely separate. Therefore the increased s5,- 800 appropriation was really added to the ordinary expense account, and we are now asked to come to city meet ing next Friday night and vote an ex- tra appropriation of $3,ooo making a total of sS,500 more than was ever appropriated for ordinary repairs and expenses in one year in the history o1 1 the city.
 Third. Overdrafts.
 1 would like to call the attention o1 the administration to the genera statues of the State of Connecticut Chapter 4, Sections 50 and 61, and asl them on what authority the street com missioner has overdrawn the lbllow ing accounts:
 Outside work 1858 | Franklin Street, concrete .... 625.9 Thames Street, widening .... 3,913.3 Lower Broadway, concrete :. s2o
 Total Overdrafts ,057.2
 I wish to inform him that thes overdrafts have got to cease as I shal enter a complaint and test out tn above law as a taxpayer. As I be Iieve in sn economical administratio and the present administration ha made such a failure, I think 1t is tim that the taxpayers make the ones re sponsible for overdrafts liable accord
 ing to law.
 Yours respectfully,
