paredness training that has been standing our country in good stead. Waterbury Republican.
 The women who cn Monday made another demonstration in front of the White House ir criticism of the ft]- ure of the senate to pass the propos- ed amendments to the federal con- stitution providing for equal suffrage, make it increasingly doubtful wheth- CT they themselves should receive 1i'e vote under any circumstances. We regret to note that among the bom- bardiers were Connecticut women. Wholly aside from the almost crim- inal impropriety of pestering the pres ident at this time, it was preposter:us to make any sort of. demonstration before the home of the president, who is already on record as favoring the equal suffrage cause. He has borne these demonstrations with great pa tience and good nature. If he should see fit to make another utterarce upon the subject he would be warranted al most in withdrawing his previous ut terances and substituting one of sym pathy with the slow moving senate The spirit of laWlessness which actu- ates these women is costing then heavily in the opinion of their most ardent male supporters. Their doctrine is essentially bolshevikist in character They are defiantly as those who have been already locked up for long pc riod of time.-New Haven Journal. Courier.

NO MONEY TO THROW AWAY.

Those who are inclined to indulge in fraud have undoubtedly seen an op portunity to get in some of their fine work in connection with the many large contracts which this government has awarded in order to secure as rapidly as possible the great quantity and variety Of supplies which are needed to maintain our forces on land and sea. That they are not having their own way entirely, and that their efforts to hoodwink the government are not successfully meeting the scrutiny of the government has been indicated in several instances.
 It was not long ago that certain makers of raincoats got into the tolls of the law because of the inferior quality of the goods which were being produced and now comes the an- nouncement to the effect that ten em- ployes, inspectors and a lieutenant of the quartermasteT's department have been arrested in a raid upon a Long Island City factory and that others connected with the business are be- ing sought by the federal authorities
 The charge of conspiring to defraud the government in passing rejected shoes, leather jerkins. canvas leggings and spiral puttees in a factory whers on eight million dollar contract is held makes it evident that the full penalty should be meted out to those who are responsible for the.plan to get rich at the expense of the gov ernment and the attitude taken that anything is good enough for those who are doing the fighting. This country may be able to provide all the money necessary for supplying the army but it has none to throw away in any such manner.

EDITORIAL NOTES,

It is a mighty good idea to be eco- nomical at all times whether there is Liberty loan looming up in the near future or not.
 Berlin fears the truth. The people are to be prevented from repeating stories which will alarm the popu- lace.
 The more murders the bolsheviki commit in an effort to hold their power the more rapidly are they has tening their end.
 Stefansson may have discovered an island as big as Ireland. but it can 1e safely said that it hasn't as many troubles as Ireland.
 Some idea of future trouble is in dicated by the arrest of 15 Fall River men charged with having and operat- ing 15 illicit stills.

 The way in which the allies have declined Austria's invitation puts the dual monarchy under a greater ner- vous strain than ever.
 Now that Turkey has just received loan of S1o,o0O,000 from Germany it would be terrible thing to have the allies cut that Berlin to Constantine pie railroad
 No state will be jealous of South Dakota just because snow has fallen there this early in the season, but the fellow with an empty coal bin will do some thinking. The coal administration is undoubt edly right in urging people to refrain from using coal as long as possible | but it would not be a had idea to | come to an understanding with the weather man.
 Some of the German newspapers l'manifest indignation at the quick de- cision of the United States in turning down the Austrian peace proposition in spite of the fact that it was an old decision briefly repeated.
 It is declared that "Ten million need your old clothes" and while q | good many of those owning old clothes are reaching the conclusion that theil own needs are steadily increasing there is a firmly implanted deternai- nation to help the less fortunate.

STORIES OF THE WAR
A Fight With a Submarine.

Ensign Oliver Iselin gives a graphic description in 8 letter of fight with d submarine of a destroyer on which he is serving. He writes:
 "The day before the scrap we res cued 125 French sailors and five off cers off rafts from the French cruiser Dupetit Thours, which had been tor pedoed We had the officers in the wardroom and the men were on deck n boats and climbing over the super structure.
 We could not get them to go be- low. as they were sttll pretty well scared with their experience of the previous day. In the morning a French petty officer sitting aft by the fantail twice reported a periscope cn our quarter, but we saw nothing from the bridge and thought the French man was still excited.
 "All that morning we and the sub probably wire lodging each other. perhaps without either knowing it. In the afternoon we must have turned stuck up his periscope and showed his coming tower awash a few hundred yards off our port bow.

the fact that goods which were being shipped to neutrais for their own use, or their equivalent. were finding their way into the hands of the enemy and being used for the maintenance of the enemy forces. Enemy agents were taking advantage of the geogra phical position of certain neutrals to cover up these transactions and not a few were making rich hauls out of the dealings.
 By the agreements which have been signed Denmark is to be allowed to have well over third of million tons of supplies. including foodstuffs. textiles and other materials. These goods will be transported in Danish vessels which are now engaged in overseas trade, but the remainder of the Danish shipping will be placed at the disposal of the United States and it's allies. but it is specifically stated that none of the goods taken by Den mark, or their equivalent, must go to the central powers. Thus this country looks after the neutrals and they recognize the power ofabe allies to enforce the terms.

INFLUENZA EPIDEMIC.

It makes little difference what they are, epidemics always receive a good share Of attention; and it is we'll that they should. They are of vital con cern to the sick and certainly need to te 10 the well if they desire to keeD that way. It is not a time, however for people to get unduly excited but 10 give careful consideration to the conditions, to observe the precautions which might reasonably be expected 10 be necessary and those which are urged by those who know. Keeping in a healthy condition is one of the best ways of resisting such attacks, while there is no little responsibility placed upon those who realize that they are displaying symptoms to take proper care of themselves at all stages both for their own protection and to pre- vent its contraction by others.
 Just at the present time the influen- ga epidemic is getting it's full shara of attention and it is of course the time to take advantage of every bit of advice which is furnished by the health authorities. By so doing It will be possible to put an end to it the quicker. It is a time when those who have the disease should be careful to remain at home both for the purpose of properly protecting themselves and doing everything possible to prevent serious consequences, and fer the pre- vention of the spreading of the dis ease as far as possible. Those who are sneezing should be careful to em ploy handkerchief and it is of course a good time to avoid a crowd, get plenty of wholesome food. sleep and fresh air. There is much that can be done in the way of prevention, which !s certainly preferable to 8 cure.

ONE DRIVE AFTER ANOTHER.

As was expected would be the case General F'och appears to be swinging about the circle in delivering blows at the enemy forces. He waited for the psychological moment in turning upon the Teuton armies !n Picardy but when he struck he struck hard and kept it up. The same was true of the way in which the American army was sent against the St. Mihiel sa- lient Both of these operations were great ground gaining attacks but in addition large patches of prisoners and great quantities of supplies were taken. while the quick reverse of the German successes has seriously low cred the morale Of the Prussian fight ing machine.
 These operations were close upon the disastrous defeat which was ad- ministered to the Austro- -Hungarians by the Italians and from which the dual monarchy has not recovered, but they have since been followed by the drive of the Serbian. French and Brit ish forces in Macedonia against the Bulgsrians. There the same success has attended the operations as has characterized the work of the allied armies to the north. but before that effort has been allowed to die down the British in Palestine have launched cut against the Turks with an initial gain of twelve miles and apparently causing a serious break in the Turkish forces.
 The effect of these combined oper-
 
 been going on in several sections of Russia cannot fail to show upon tho central powers. They are being given no opportunity to shift from one point 10 another but the old idea of keeping Inc enemy forces busy in ail theaters at the same time and infiicting seri- ous losses upon them makes it evident that the allies are backing up their demands for a decisive victory In a glorious and telling manner.

CANNOT OVERLOOK SAFETY
 FIRST.

There are reasons to feel that the aafety first campaigns which have been conducted in this country have accomplished much good. The pur- pose has been to get the people to think about the responsibility which rests upon themselves in guarding against dangers which are perfectly apparent but which are too seldom siven consideration. But while much good has undoubtedly been accom- plished the need of keeping persis- tently at this task of getting each one to look more carefully after himself is still apparent
 This is shown by the statement Of Manager Belknap of the division of safety of the United States railroad administration when he points out that in the past five years there were railroads casualties totalling 9S0, ,565 of which number nearly 50,00o were killed. The responsibility for this casualty list cannot be p.aced upon the shoulders of the individual and neither can it be laid to the railroad companies entirely There have all ways been a great number who have invited death or accidents which would cripple them for life. How many have been saved by giving at- tention to the sound advice which has been given regarding railroad tres passing there is no way of telling, bu: when MT. Belknap says that in 1916 one railroad employe was killed every
 
 jured every ten minutes ir railroad accidents alone it is perfectly evident that there is a big opportunity fol tringing about reduction f the pro- per attention is given to this qles. ton by all who are involved. It is ( matter in which the federal admins tration can well show it's deepest in terest.

HELPING THE NEurRALs.

whether or not the action taken by ther neutrals aided in the reaching sf an understanding between this country and Denmark. though there are reasons to believe that it must at least have been taken into considera- tion, it is indicative of the position accorded the United States when it comes to the matter of furnishing supplies when commercial and ship ping agreements are signed by the war trade board and the Danish mis- sion in Washington.
 Denmark like other northern neu- trals has experienced no little diff culty in obtaining the supplies which it needs. This was increased by the stand taken by this country in plac- ing an embargo upon exports. which action became necessary in view of
