Gates the tactics employed by the AL

been soma editorials in state papers
since the German onslaught began,
which gave evidence of the impa-
thence of their authors with the meth
dds of General Foch. One declared
that it was high time" for him to
strike back, two days before he &C
tually did so. 1t simply proves that
we over here have very little concep-
ton of the real situation, and that
we should withhold criticism or skep-
teal comment until all the facts are
at our disposal. General Foch knew
what he was doing. He~real1zed FULLY

of German hordes with the numbers

He would have been overwhelmed
and the result would have been
complete rout for the Allies. He was
cool and calculating, and his genius
displayed itself when the moment
came which he considered ideal for
agsressivenees instead Of retreat.
1t is useless to discuss the reasons
which necessita ted the withdrawal OF
the Allies lines. It is equally useless
to bemoan that the fact that the All

the Germans have been stopped. and
that General Fo1h was the man who
stopped them. Let us be thankful for
that.

lord high chancellor continued:
"What means this bonn bing Of hos

means the senseless rage Of those who

England has thrown in the way Of
Germany. as it ever has thrown OBJ

The conduct of our enemy at this

Yesterday II. Wales Lines. Of Mer-
iden, celebrated the eightteth ami
versary of his birth Mr.. Lines 10 not
only the founder and head Of one
of the most widely known construc-
ton firms in the East. but he has
also played prominent part in the
gre with Of the Silver City to which
he came from Naugatuek, his birth
place, during Civil war days.
As q youth, we knew and respected
day being carried to HIS Office and
home again. and rarely d1d he pass
by without stopping moment to
chat with the boys playing In the
street We all admired him because
we knew he was a friend Of the boys.
AND now that we are grown up
we realize why our parents and all
the neighbors, and the entire city
looked up to H. Wales LINES and re-
garded him as one of It's foremost
citizens. When we stop to consider
that he has not only been thrice
mayor Of the city in which he lives;
that he represented his townsn en- in
the Legislature, and that he has
served on practically every board of
importance in Meriden is not diff
cult to understand why he always has
been and ever will be held In high
esteem by his fellow citizens
We offer our sincerest congratu-
lations to the honorable gentleman
and we take the liberty Of extending
to him as a birthday greeting our
heartfelt wish that he may be spared
for many more years to his family
anc: to the city he has served so we'll.

BACKYARD GARDENING.

There many fad, some good some
bad, affects our populations:
But best of all. the backyard fad, that
helps to feed the nation.
When wheat and rye and oats are
high, meats forty cents a pound
The workingman is fortunate who has
a bit Of ground.
He hustles out at break of day, he
works from dawn till dark,
With rake or hoe. attacks each row,
and calls it quite a lark.
But ere the summer has gone by he
finds his ardor failing.
And realizes, with a sigh, 1t is not all
plain sailing.
The worm and grub, aye there's the
rub! upset his ca1cula tons,
And bugs that lie, and moths that fly,
attack his would-be rattons.
With honest sweat his brow is wet,
the ground Is dry and dusty,
The hinges in his knees and back
seem just a trit1e rusty.
And while he sttrs the baking soil or
combs it into ridges,
He falls an easy victim to mosquitoes,
mes d1id ulIASSS-
But when he sits beside the lamp and
reads his evening paper,
He learns that backyard gardening is
just the proper caper
One useful lesson he will learn from
months of toll and fret,
That working farmers, as a rule, are
earning all they get.
And if they have to ship their goods,
it matters little where,
The railroads and the mlddlemen will
get the lions share.
But Mr.. Backyard Farmer beats the
lion at his game,
Producer and Consumer, in his case,
are the same.
So then be up and doing with a
heart for any fate
And plant your backyard garden be-
fore it is too late.

RENT CONDITION SERIOUS.
Mayor to Ask Special Committee to
Serve i'm Order to Find Solution.

Pursuant to the promise in his ans

receipt of numerous complaints about
alleged unfair increase in rent pricee.
Mayor Quigley today announced q list
of men whom he will request to

determined today, but were inclined
to the view that all of the vessels
were sunk by one submarine.
Naval officials at Norfolk, however.
believe that from two to three under
sea craft were engaged.
Officials continued today to con-
slider the advisability Of arming all
ccastwise shipping in preparation for
iding operations along the coast.
Danger Believed At End.
Navy department officials believed
today the submarine or submarines
that sank probably more than ten
American vessels off the Atlantic
coast was on its way back to it's base
and that for the time being the dan
ger was over.
Secretary Daniels announced in the
m orning that no additional advices of
submarine activities had reached the
department.
Warships, submarine c11asers and
airplanes were securing the seas to-
day in search Of the enemy. Navy
officials threw veil Of secrecy over
their movem ents however, and re-
quested newspapers to make no men,
ton Of their whereabouts.
There is a growing impression here
that only one submarine took part in
the raid. The navy department has
only one report to indicate the
presence Of more. That Is the state
ment Of the captain of the schooner
Cole, that he saw peTiscope of
second U-boat. Mr.. Daniels said to-
day that nothing to confirm other re-
ports indicating that from one to five
submersibles had been off the coast
had been received. The secretary re-
iterated his opinion that the purpose
of the raid was to create a demand
in the United States for the return Of
naval craft to home waters This, he
said was based on speculation and
not on any concrete information.
No information has reached the de-
partm ent, it was said, ind eating that
during the eleven days or more the
submarine now Is known to have been
in American coastwise waters, that II
had any communication with agents
ashore. It is understood, however,
that the naval service has not neg
lected that possibility and that every
effort to check UP what has tran
spired along the coast is included IN
the program it is following out.
