there never has been, as was the case
in March, danger OF the allied line
breaking, On the contrary, as soon as
It was found the allies were unable
TO hold the crest, orders were given
for the re'.rcment to the Ai,ne and the
Anglo-Frcnch force made an orderly
retreat in perfect unity.
Points OF similarity are that again
the Germans discovered a weak point
in the allied line and attacked in a
superiority OF five to one. Gas also
again played an important part, the
allied forces being compelled to wear
gas masks for hours at stretch.
The brunt OF the German onslaught
was borne by the sixth French army
under General Meist.

New London, July5.-Mayor Ernest E. Rogers is a real war mayor, even more so than the war governor, for the mayor offered his service to the country in the military branch but was was rejected by reason of physical disability. and he is now a lieutenant in the state guard, after long ex- perience in the Connecticut National Guard. The mayor has made it a practice to say goodbye to every soldier that went into service from New London. from the time of the de- parture of the national gnard com panies down to the last increment that left the city under the selective serv- ice law. Whenever possible he told each individual soldier that he was ever ready to render any assistance within his power. No matter at what the hour of the soldiers departure the

The court of common council usually votes to support committee action, right or wrong, and perhaps that's reason why, Captain Pinney received such a hattering vote at the council meeting that made him captain. John F. Murray, the alderman that heads the police committee, reported that the committee was practically unani- nous in favor of Pinney and it was he who made the motion that Acting Captain Charles A. Pinney be appoint ed a full fedged captain. Heretofore MT. Murray has been almost as strong a supporter of the promotion of Jeffers as is Alderman Tom Gragan, and his changed action is trif1e puzzling, es
 peCially to those on the outside of the political game. Not few are asking
 Why MT. Murray's change of front? Had he stood fast to what he formerly said he believed to be right, there would have been a divided report from the police committee as to whether the captain should be Jeffers or Pinney, and the result of the council vote might have been different. It is | plain that the same parties who in fuenced the mayor to make war on Jeffers to make way for Pinney had a | deal in the game that was played.
 The word was perhaps passed and
 Murray was convinced that it was for lSs best political interests, not to
 stick close to Jeffers, but fall into line
 and favor Pinney.
 l Mir Murray, after due deliberation
 may have satisfied himself that he was
 on the wrong track when he favored
 Jeffers, and made a mistake and veri- l fed the same. AS a rule politicians do not work along such lines. and he is a politician. for he is chairman ot | the democratic town committee, as
 well as alderman, and, so it is said has mayolty aspiI ations.
 It is said that Former Representa-.
 tive Frank Cronin, who was defeated
 by Senator James R. May, both O New London, is to be the republican

 conditions in so far as the exper
 political backing goes is practically
 the same MT. Cronin then had the support of certain political interest!
 that seem to prevail in the democratit ranks, and some who are supposed t , be supporters of May were in the dea to elect Cronin. The deal was s : open that many Of the voters revoltet l and voted for May and simply to dem onstrate that tha politicalS dealer made misdeal and that all the voter , are not within their grasp. The dis } trict is naturally republican and MI , Cronin ought to win out. and h

mayor was at the railway station to give them a send-off. There have been times when the only citizen at the station to give encouragement to the boys aside from relatives, was the mayor of the city. He is intensely in terested in the soldier boys and fre- quently expresses regret that he can not be with them in the ranks. Every movement that has been made in the way Of war work Mayor Rogers has been at the forefront. and he, more than any other individual has put New London on the war map.
 He is a genuine and patriotic war
 mayor to the extent of being willing to shoulder gun and enter actua warfare on the battle front. He sure has the good will of New London's i soldier boys and the relatives Jeff behind appreciate the mayors mani. fested interest in the boys As mayor his administration measures we'll witt | the average mayor of the city of New l London, and he surely is entitled tC | renomination for second term. fuIly

It was Mayor Rogers areition to have Charles A. Pinney, the full fede- ed captain of the New London police force, during his administration, and in this he has succeeded, and in so doing he believes he has accomplished masterly political stroke. He sure ly has delivered the goods and now if is up to others to make good their
 promises. Some day the story of how the game was played may be told, and it sure would make interesting reading. Do you know who was back of the mayor in the undoing of the aspirations of Lieutenant Thoma Jeffers, and to make way for Pinney ? It was a combination in fact and those in the combine included certain liquor dealers who consider themselves a power in politics, and, in part, worked 1 through a relative, who appears to be very close to Mayor Rogers.
 It is now Captain Pinney and. so it is said. he is going to inaugurate new methods in the conduct of the depart
 ment, methods that he learned in l Springfield and New York by the good graces of the mayor. and which he intends to apply to the little New London force. He had not beer captain twenty four hours when or | ders were issued that hereafter al

find time to play the political as well as the war game, although with all it IS war first and politics second. and with politics a very close second, at that. Already there is talk of deals, and deals that are thus early planned, and there is no doubt but some of them will he put over on the unsus- pecting voters. Politicians, republi cans and democrats. who profess to be straight party men, are playing the cards in the deal and it now looks as if there might be some political treachery pulled off on municipal and state election day. In these deals men prominent in the liquor business are the dealers and stack the cards to win their points. It is an open statement that the interests are in the game for the benefit of their business and with out regard to party utilization, which is right to a limited degree, but they may play a losing game if they ex- ceed the limit, as some of the voters have their eye teeth cut in the game of politics.
 It is not wise to straddle a pair of horses, especially without specia training, as there is liability in such an act to turn the conservative vote the vote that is now with the iuuol
 men, in an opposite direction. It is
 not good politics to make the liquol question the main issue in the coming city and state elections. After all il
 is not bad plan to play fair even ir
 the political game.
