CLEANED FROM FOREIGN EXCHANGES

A truck train was lined up on a dark road running parallel with the front and only few kilometers back while company Of Pioneers mended a broken culvert.
 A colonel who was unfortunate enough to be at the rear end of the jam and who was quite anxious to be on the move, turned on the electric lights of his limousine in hopes that the light would enable the men toiling on the roads to work faster
 A Pioneer private paused, pick above his head, when he saw the sudden flare of light
 Hey, you rube!H he shouted. What are you trying to pull off down there? Do you want all the German artillery in the country turned on us? Can that stuff or I'll come down and kick a lung out just Ot pass the time
 There was no reply. But the light went out.
 A Yankee truck drivers right for ward wheel had just sunk with an air of tiilality into a half filled shell hole On the road near Avocourt, and he was throwing over terrific barraGe of profanity when he suddenly stopped short and his jaw dropped. Then it closed in a grin as broad as the Sacramento. from whose distant shore he had gone forth to war. He was contemplat ating the approach along the roadside of four stalwart and i'm l posing officers of the famous Prussia1 guard. On their shoulders. as they l marched along in the drizzling rain 1 was a stretcher, and on the stretchei lay a wounded doughboy smoking { cigarette.
 The following letter was written b! i an American soldier to his mother 1T California a few hours before the be l ginning of the Argonne drive: Dear Mother: We are going in t battle the Boches tonight. It is ou first time in, as you know, so of cours

HuLeARIA's REvoLuT,,,,.

How things are moving and how conditions are being interpreted in Europe is pretty clearly disclosed by the situation which has developed in Bulgaria, where Boris. to whom King Ferdinand only recently left his throne, has resigned his charge in face Of the revolutionary tendencies which have developed in that country. and by the attitude of the German prince who was called upon to ascend the throne of Finland but who as yet has found it inadvisable to assume his task
 The fact is that things have changed across the water and instead of the job of the old time monarch being a healthy one it is fast getting to be de- c1dedly unpopular
 King Boris saw the handwriting on the wall. He understood the meaning of the revolutionary movement which was fast gathering strength under the leadership of Stambulewsl1y, the lib- eral. who has according to report set up a government of the peasants and who has large following. There are good reasons for believing that the ypirit of revolution which has spread

THE WAR WORK FUND.

Because the prospects of peace grow brighter each day it should not mean any slackening in the interest in be- half of the united war work cam paisn for the stopping of the fighting will not mean that the soldiers and sailors are to be immediately brought home. Even though the war should come to an end this week it will be a year or more before our fighting forces are relieved of their duties. Get ting out of the war will be as slow process as getting in was. Our men will be required for many duties along with those of the other coun- tries and as long as they remain in Europe, or in camps in this country for that matter. it is of the utmost i'1por.ancn that they should be pro- 'ided with the assistance which 1t is intended that this fund shall furnish
 There can be thus no thought of withholding subscriptions to this fund 10 he dispensed through the seven or ganizations which are associated in raising it. The purpose is a highly ineritorious one and no one appre- ciates the fact more than those for whose benefit it is intended The boys in khaki or blue have experienced un- tcld help from the facilities which have been provided for their comfort and entertainment. It is necessary that this same consideration s3ould be shown to them until they are all back In their homes. The responsi- biiity rests with the people of this country and there is no reason. to be- l!eve that they are going to shirk. They have been fighting for us and they are going to continue to fight for us as long as necessary and 1t is but little that is now being asked for such protectors. The biggest possible sub scriptions are deserving and needed

VIOLATING REGULATIONS.

It takes long time for some peo- pie to realize that rules and regula- tions are made to be observed rather than disregarded. This is perfectly familiar 10 all who have had any thing to do with the enforcement of laws so it Is perhaps not strange that there are not a few today who insist upon Intentionally violating the reg ulations which have been established by the food administration re:ative to the hoarding of sugar. or in aiding others to do so.
 The only thing to do under such cir cumstance5 is to let those people know that the regulations really amount to something and are to be respected. The course which has been pursued in the case of two msn in West Virginia charged with hoard- ing is only what should be expected. These men were found euiity of boarding more than 150 pounds of su- gar. one Of whom was given jail sentence of six months and fine of $50 while the other was sent 10 jail for 15 months and given the san e
 fine. But the authorities there even went farther and fined the merchant who sold them the sweet stuff s25J for knowingly selling in excessive quantities.
 These are of course not the only prosecutions which have been made ds the result of violation of the resu- lations, and it is not to be supposed that there are not other cases whica l are deserving of like treatment. but !t is evident that such punishment vii prove a valuable lesson not only tt
 those to whom it is applied but to al others who stop to realize that it means | that the rules are going to pc en' l forced. When the people are made
 10 understand that the respect tha 1 is aimed at will be secured.

GERMANY MUST PAY.

The plan that Germany must be made to pay for the damage which it has done in the territory where it had arranged in advance to make war is entire.y in keeping with the sit uation. There can in fact be no thought of any leniency in thls direc- ton. Germany chose it's course, it had planned for years in advance for the struggle into which it plunged the world and it must now take the con- sequences.
 The fact that the bill which it will have to pay is going to be an enor- nous one makes no difference. Ger many should have fully considered the very outcome which it now faces be- fore it insisted that the war must go on and before it inaugurated the ruth less policies which have been put ifl- to effect during the war.
 It would be the greatest mistake that could be made to think Of let ting the Teutons off lightly in con- sideFation of the fact that they may chose to end the struggle now in- stead of waiting until Berlin has been captured If it stops fighting now and admits defeat it must be realized that Germany is going to benefit as much if not, more, than the allies. for Ger many is very anxious to avoid an in- vasion of it's territory for obvious req sons. But the fact that it would be saving lives and property by surren- dering now cannot work in it's favol as far as restoring the damage whief 1t has done. The best and only thing that can be done is to make Germany foot the bill and let it serve as les son to that and every other natioT for the future. Germany must b. taught the lesson that it needs. Le the bill be made out sec that it ii right and proceed to collect 1t Is thu only course to pursue,

PRESSING THE ADVANTAGE.

Peace talk and the arranging of conference with General Foch IS not slowing up in the least the forward movement of the allied forces. They are going akcad with the same if not greater determination. Not only are the troops along the Mouse nov ing north and making the railroad line west from Metz valueless but they have progressed to the point where they give promise of soon taking pos session of Sedan upon that line. which will mean the abandonment of stiIl more territory and the making of the situation still more serious for the Germans.
 With this advance, in which the Americans are playing q most impor- iant part. a similar gain is being made to the east of Valenciennes with lhe two movements threatening 10 place the Germans in another pocket unless they hasten to get out of France.
 But even if there Is any idea on the nart of Germany of continuing the fight against the odds which it faces It cannot but realize that it must make all speed in getting it's troops out of Belgium if they are to escare the trap which has been set for them The progress that is being made by the allies means that Germany can not hope to stem the tide of battle 't Is flowing strongly against il ard the conditions at home are no better than they were in Austria Hungary. From all indications Germany is do- ins it's best to hold onto as much ter ritory as possible until the end. which it knows cannot be far off but the drives of the allies are giving them nc rest and no encouragement. Armis- ttce or no armistice Germany is head ed for the same thing-complete sub mission to allied dictstion.

EDITORIAL NOTES.

Weatherwise November is being about as considerate as can reason ably be expected
 In more sections than one has the importance been recognized of putting republicans on guard.
 At sunrise, it is to be remembered, murderers and villains.
 We have been expecting most ary day to see where the kaiser has been advertising for a horse
 Germany is at present standing alone but it is due for one of those Humpty Dumpty tumhles
 It didn't take Ions for Boris of Bull garia to decide that uneasy rests the nead that wears a crown.
 And Vienna rajoices over the pros pect of food as much as Italy cele- trates over the glorious victory.
 A new abdieation class is being formed at the present time among the crowned heads of the central powers
 By the shipment of a large number Of his trunks to Switzerland 1t indi- cates that the kaiser intends to keep well ahead Of his retreatins army.
 The man on the corner says: Con sciousness of having voted right may be better than voting on the winning side, but it doesn't swell the plural ity.
 The Turks must be appreciatirg g the fact that they are not required to keep on the run every day in oroer 10 stay out of the clutches of Gen fTo1 txr
 It is declared that the king of Ba- varia wants to be the emperor of Ger many. The great surprise in connec- ton herewith is that anyone should want to fill the kaisers shoes.
 From the depredations which the ] Germans are still committing in Bel gum it looks as if they were afraid that there would be some buildings left intact there after the war. One would suppose that Austria had experienced enough from German die tation so that it would not be trying to prevent the allies from attacking that country from any point they saw l fit
 Where instructions from Washing ton were disregarded neither the dis l trict, nor the nation has been placed in any jeopardy. The people simply felt that they didn't need the advice
 The death of Morton F. Plant re- moves a man who had interested him | self extensively in the affairs of this end of the state. He has been a penefactor to Groton and New London Who can never be forgotten and his loss will be severely felt. Many have similar opportunities for the same kind of work that he has done but too few are they who rise to the ecca j. ] sion.

throughout Russia has had its effects among the people of Bulgaria and that it is felt that now is the time for bringing about important changes in that country.
 It is of course one of the develop ments which can be expected as the result of the war and the effects which have been felt in Bulgaria. Whether this new peasant government will amount to anything remains for the future to disclose but it can hardly be said to come in the nature of a surprise as adjustments are being made

 All the comforts of home, with some added luXuries, were fUund In the dugouts and living quarters which the Germans were forced to abandon when the American troops smashed through h the St MIhiel salient and took the ter rltory which the German army had occupied for four years.
 Running water. electric light, stee Fl heat, tennis courts bowling alleys, swimming pools. pianos and wine eel lars were some of the up-to-date con- veniences which Uncle Sam's mop rers-up" that followed on the heels of the rushing American soldiers found in some of the quarters of the German officers.
 The more elaborate quarters were located in the thickly-set woods which abound in this part Of France and most of them represented the work Of tour years. The majority Of them were of elaborate rustic construction and usually had shell proof shelters connected with them. Furniture an@
