LETTERS TO THE EDITOR
An Apbrecjation

Mr. Editor: 1 was greatly surprised and deeply grieyed to learn On very recent return from overseas thas rfly friend and ciassmate in college. 5. I. Avery, Jr., had died in France on June 18th. 1918. And since many ot his friends and all of his. class are so scattered that they may not hear of his death l feel it my duty to write few words in his memory. Bill. as We called him at Storr5. was always p4sy and very studious, a sc1entisj and deep thinker; a very good friend to a chosen few and a model of uprightness, He never took a 7rc"+ par D aH,'e@e artisitfes, but always applied himself to his work i4l>, aeau-~a. ,s41- .l.-u 5J5t entered upon his career and had a. great fu- ture before him. He was willing; however, to sacrifice his prospects and answer the cal of his country and while his death is regettab:e. 1t was in a great and glorious cause. A plain man. it will not do to make tn $ q lengthy note, but to let his death go by unnoticed would not be fair. As member of the class of 1s16. of the Connecticut Agricultural College I have written these few lines to ex press the sorrow which know will be felt when his death becomes nnoWn to them. He is. the first onq to be lost from among us. most of whom are in the service and while syflipa- thizing with those to whom his loss means so much we are proud to Know that he died in the performance of his duty. as a real man. and a real American.

EDITORIAL NOTES.

Read about the work of the men in France and hustle to the bank and buy move bonds
 No one better than the men in kha- lfi knows that it is impossible to win ty talking peace.
 According to the rate at which the Huns are being driven back the Rhine is not very far away
 Germany continues in its policy Of terrifying the world by sinking neu- .ral ships and taking neutral lives.
 The letup in the air raids or Lon don and Paris can be attributed to other reasons than a change of heart
 From all indications the German forces are headed directly for Water loo and it is not solely a geographi- cal n16vement.
 After what the armies in France are doing the people of this country cannot allow it to bs said that ths great loan here faces failure
 The man on the corner says: It is the quick winning of it and not the cost of the war about which people should be the more anxious.
 When Berlin admits that the Americahs have made a temporary gain it probably refers to the fact that it can be expected to De in creased at any time.
 There is no better exatnple of American grit than that which was displayed by the battalion sutrouhd- ed by Huns and the determined ef- forts of their comrades in effeeting their rescue.
 # Germany ever expected that the allies would show them leniency when it comes to making terms Of peaces they have lost all chances of 1t through the manner in which they are, leaving destruction in their wake.
 By shortening the line the Germans may figure that they are increasing their strength, but the same is trde of the allies. whije the great losses which are being inflicted upon the hard pressed eneiny are caGsing con sternation.
 Once again a new monthly record las. been established by Afner:can shi2yar1s, The resources of. the. na- tiori are making possible the accom- plishment of wondertul results ana the best of it is that. the limit has bt no means been reached.

our destinies in the councils of state,
 in parliament, in; the press, 1 realize
 the supreme need of a well sfoahded,
 practical, modern education if we are
 to attain to- and maintain d supreme degree of efficiency, proportionate to the place we aspire to hold among the great nations of the word only dare to advance my own opinions because l have travelled much, seen much, worked at many trades, tried many experiments, spoken many tongues, and read many books. We allowed the cohdftions provocative of this war to come about through lack of education in high places and among the lowly. We have fumbled oyer conclusive vic tory through lack Of education in this, that and the other Science, And though a degree of victory Justified by the righteoustless of our cause now seems. in sight we shall need, every one of Us, after peace is. signed, the fullest measure of education and ap- plicable knowledge to repair the ray age Of the war and ensure the nf.len- ium that is to follow .-London Times

CLEANED FROM FOREIGN EXCHANGES

The German prisoners taken in front of Rove are chiefly from the 23d and G2d regiments of the 12th division and the 18th regiment of the 4th division, to whom are to be added a consider able number of gunners of both heavy and field artillery batteries. We got no guns because, scooping soutnward as we did, our penetration of the en- emy positions was not deep enough, but the face of the ridge was used by the Germans for observation purposes and we got all the observing officers in their forward posts, and on the whole the German artillery officers taken seem to be more Human and conversa- tional men than the officers Of the in fantry. One of the latter, indeed, is of a particularly offensive Prussian type. He is not merely rude, but grossly ill-mannered and seems to be proud of it. All the officers were. very hungry when they got to our cages, and were thankful for such remnants of rations as our own officers in charge there had left. The infantrymen in the mass are not good lot, though their physique seems better than their morale. Among them are a number of Poles, some of whom are extremely glad to have been taken.
 
 tales similar to those we have heard before of the heavy losses which they suffered a few days ago by the Ger man Sunners shelIihg their own lines In this case we have the gunners also and they do not deny it. One field artillery officer dismissed the matter with shrug. saying: Such accidents will happen" But the others all took the line of protesting that it was not their fault, because their weapons were so bad. It was, they. said. absurd to. expect anyone to do decent shooting with guns in the condition of the German guns now
 Another interesting order by Gen eral Ludendorff has been found, dated July 10 last, on the subject of the shortage of horses in the German army and enjoining the strictest care of the animals, because they cannot be re- placed" Confirmation of this is fur nished by the fact that we know of a recent draft of 900 horses supplied for transport purposes which consisted en- tirely of officers riding horses taken from them.
 Mrs. Lloyd George opened on Thurs day, Aug. 26th, the new hostel for dis abled soldiers at Trefnant, in the Vale of Clwyd, North Wales The men ,tsn work at toy making, and a furniture department has recently been added The hostel has been sanctioned by the ministry Of pensions as a training center for North Wales. and is the first of it's kind so recoanized. At the opening ceremony the chair was taken by Sir Arthur Boscawen, parIiamen- tary secretafy to the ministry.
 The Vale of Clwyd toy industry has grown remarkably, It was started in

the winter of 1909 by Miss Mary Heaton of PIas Heaton, Trefnant, with few village men, as reerea tion for winter evenings. During the first win ter the profits, e3 1Ss., were dis tributed among the workers. Each year the output has grown, and the toys have been sent to all parts of the world, while many county education authorities have placed them on their requisition lists. New and purely Welsh designs have been introduced from time to time In the furniture department old Welsh designs. will be reproduced and old furniture repaired
 A letter writer to the London Times says: Unless we can achieve a League of Nations which will end war, and also some kind of harmony between capital and labor which will preclude class war, it is pretty generally agreed that our modern civilization seems likely to go the way of Babylon and Rome. But all such schemes for their practical working make high de- mands-many think iInpossibly high demalids-on human nature in. the way of justice, sympathy and good will If the church aspires to be the conscience of the world here IS it's opportunity. If it does not aspire to be this, why cumbereth it the ground?' But the blind cannot lead the blind, and churches which cannot find a way to settle their own disputes will never guide the world, either to international or industrial peace Unless we can achieve a League. of Churches and that soon, organized Christianity will be demonstrated bankrupt And 1t may well be that a League of Churches would be the one thing which would make possible League of Nations, for m practice both await a change of heart-and that surely is a matter in which the world has the right to ex- pect the church to give a lead. and, as the Bishop of Hereford urged in your issue of Aug. IT, the only sane policy for the church of Engiand is to begin with the churches which are nearest at hand and have shown their anxiety to meet us half way"
 An English statesman says o2 Pel- manism: Pelmanism, it seems to me, is rot so much an education in itself as the preparation of the mind for edu- cation elsewhere: for the education of the streets and shops and countryside education by home reading, by foreign travel, by secondary schools. and, above all by universities So far from pelng ln rivalry with sound education al. institutions, with schools and col leges, it is a preparatory. ground for them. Its intention is that it's pupils shall be enabled henceforth to assirn- : Hate and coordinate to the utmost advantage all the eddcation they re- ceive or seek for.

eEr eAck oE rHE LOAN.

After full understanding of the principles for which this country and those with which it is an;ei are fighting. after the great work which the troops on the battle6eld are per forming and in view of the raasterly drives which are fast bringing the foe to his knees. it ought nos to be necessary to set forth the vital need of giving the men who are facing the bullets everything which is required in the way of moral and financial support.
 Here we are with the war in its fifth year and with the Teutonie forces never so hard pressed and never in such a tight position bott al home and in the field as they are today.
 Are we going to take stand now wbieh will give aid and encourage ment to the Huns?
 Are we going to tighten our purse strings at the very critical moment when our men and our allies are de- pending upon us to do our part and do it right here at home three thou sand miles away from the fighting zone?
 Are we going to pinch the dollars while our boys arc giving up their life blood for the protection of coun- try and the betterrnent of the world !?
 Are we going to prolong the strug- gle when we can help materially to shorten it?
 We may not think that We are will ing to do. these things but that is what 1t win amount to if we do not raise the fourth Liberty loan and rlace the six billion dollars asked for by the government in it's hands to back the fighters. We can never look the boys who return in inc face if we permit any such thing as a failure of the loan.
 II is not believed that there Is any other disposition than to furnish the money, but the time in which it is asked for is growing short and ev- eryone needs to do his part and not leave it for someone else to do. If you haven't bonds get out and get them today, and If you have some, buy more. Give to the utmost like the men at the front.

MoviNe UP HE MEIlse

While the allies are making such a magnificent advance to the esgt Of Cambrai and St. Quentin. which not only threatens the German positions to the north but which is getting to the rear or Laon and it's strong de- fense positions by leaps and bounds. the Americans and French are by no means standing still between Rheims and Verdun.
 To the north of Verdun the Ameri- cans are assigned the task of push ing up the Mouse river and tney had already progressed considerable distance along the west hanl; with out being definitely checked and with out giving much attention to the pro- lection of their right flank This permitted the enemy from across the river to drive his fire agalnst their right wing and their rear. That dan ger has now. however, been eliminated by the advance which has Seen made along the east bank of the Mouse where not only was there much ter ritory captured but several thous- ands prisoners were taken by the sudden thrust which straightened out the line as needed.
 The Mouse is one of the lines to which the Teutons win be forced to fall back sooner or later and if can be appreciated that with the Anglo Trench forces digging into that re- zion now the line is const4 ntlr being made more difficult to held. The o5- iect is apparently to reach tde vital points before the Gerrnahs withdraw to that position and ono ot tnese is he raiisosd lins rrnni-g ,ves. from Metz upon which much 1apendencA Is placed for moving surp!ies and troops. It Is towsrf, that tht the allies are moving from the south and from the difficulty which the enemy is having in getting fresh troops it seems improbable that he will be able 10 prevent l..

 the Cure ALWAYS CALL A DOCTOR
No OCCASION FOR PANIC

spanish influenza, which appeared in spain in May, has all the. appear ances of grip or la grippe, which has swept over the world in numerous epidemics as far back as history runs. Hippocfates refers to an er.dSfiiie in 4l2 5. c. which is regarded Ey many to have been infuenza. Every cen tury has had it's attacks. Ees;tinirs with 1881, this country, has had five epidemics, the last in 1SS9-9U.
 :, There is no occasion for panic-i1i- : ftaenza itself has d very low pefeefit : age of fatalities-flot over one death out of every four hundred cases, ae- : Gording to the \. C. Board of Health. The chief danger lies in mpfications arising attacking ptlncipall5, patients in a. run down condition those who dont go to bed soon enough, or those who get up too early.
 THE SYMPTOMS
 Grippe. or infuefiza as it is now called, usually begins with a chill fol- lowed by aching, <.verishness and sometimes nausea and dizziness and a general feeling of weakness and de- pression. The temperature is from 100 to 104, and the fever usually lasts from three to five days The germs afac'y the if1;Iroa-e rie4zs. ,-s na 0r l:n; of the air ssages-nose, throat and brol4cli1d4 ldue s-- ,4llI.l .>5~ .4..-.t.A.

 THE TREATMENT
 Go to bed at the first symptoms, not only for your own sake but to avoid spreading the disease to others-take a purgative, eat plenty of nourishine food, remain perfectly .qtiiet and don't worry. Quihine, aspirin or Dover'S Powder etc, may be administered by the physicians directions to relieve tfe aching. But. there is no cure oi specific. for infiuehza-the disease must run it's course, but Nature vii throw off the attack if only you keeI up your strength The chief dangei lies. in the complications which may arise, Influenza so weakens the bod fly resistance that there is danger O pneumonia or broncfitis developing and soinetimes inflammation of thu middle ear. or heart actions. Fol these reasons it is very importan that the patient remain in bed unti his strength returns-stay iii bed a least two days or more after the fever

MAKE GERMANY RESTORE.

One of the outstanding features of the retreat of the Huns is the con- tinuation of the policy of leaving des- olation in their rear. Every city, town and village which is left be- hind is burned and destroyed wherever. it is possible to carry out such work and keep out of the tolls of the advancing armies of the allies This destruction is giving the Ger mans no advantage. The demolition Of churches, homes and other build ings which are of no use in connec- ton with war activities doesn't handicap Foch's men. it doesn't cheek the advance of the pursuPrs and it doesn't take away from the allies any advantage which they do not gain by capturing those places, The allies would De no more powerful or eff cient if the places were left in good order in this respect. but it isn't that so much as it IS the policy or ter rorism which Germany cares about,
 The suggestion has been made that the allies should do the same thing to the Rheinish cities when they reach that point but there are req sons for believing that the Teutons will throw up the sponge before that tine comes if for no other reason than the protection Of their own territory from similar treatment They must not however be allowed to escape from the penalty which riust follow their acts. If they get to the point where they internationally surrender and endeavor to avoid the reprlsals called for. it should be insisted upon that German cities be held as host ages until Germany has restored every one of the destroyed French and Bel gian towns. They must be made to pay the price for their fiendish acts. They are not entitled to the least scintilla of sympathy.
