HELP IN RUSSIA.

Interest centers at the present time to large degree upon the action which is going to be taken to over come the present situation in Russia. There is no denying the fact that it presents 8 large problem but the longer it is put off the greater it be- comes and the better the position Of the enemy.
 Germany has succeeded in taking full advantage of it's eastern neigh Ger. It is getting a stronger grasp upon it in every way each day and the time is coming when the task of shaking off it's tentacles is going to mean a struggle far mightier than it is today.
 The problem is complicated serious " by the conditions which exist among the Russian people. Instead of experiencing a unity of feeling as the results of the humility which they have been forced to undergo the fac tiors there are as far apart as ever. It is big question as to which one of these is going to be helped in order to do the greatest amcunttof good to Russia and prevent Germany from securing an additional advantage by driving others into it's support Ordi- narily it might be supposed that the Russians would welcome such assist ance as it could be given in getting back onto it's feet and insisting upon it's self respect, but the chaotic state Of affairs stands in the way of it to- day.
 Whatever is done by the allies must be done in unison. There are reasons to feel that such plan is being worked out at the present time but il is equally apparent that the quicker it can be put into effect the easier will be the job

Get After the poes.

Mr. Editor: The news from Putnam concerning dogs in this mornings Bulletin prompts me to offer the sug- gestion to Norwich authorities to get after the state authorities with view to putting stop to dog depredatlons in this vicinity Horse. cattle, and fowl owners are compelled to keep .thelr stock tied up or fenced in: But what about the neighborhood pest who al lows his dog to run loose. especially nights. to the detrmeht of peoples gardens? I speak for only one gar]en, and that my own. but presume there are scores of other gardens fFainped over and dug up. as mine has repeat edly been. by wandering dogs. Every body that can is supposed to have a garden to help out on necessary eata : hles, and a great stampede is being made by people to do something in this l:ne. but if there is to be no pro- lection for their gardens from the wallowings of dogs, I see little ren- couragement for the effort.
 Get after the dogs.

 Religion is the best armor in the world, and the worst cloak"
 Repairng evil is difficult and per- Dlexing job; and it seems singular that in repairing the evil we have through injurious habits done to our selves we find the check to evil habits which injure others. The best mis- sionary work most of us can do is with our own souls. When we have made ourselves clean we shall cease to contaminate others. It is better to know our own faults than it is to know our neighbors. and by correcting our own we may help them as we can in no other way to correct theirs. Being blind to our own faults and attempting to reform some one else for whom we feel much soiicitude is a mistake which most would-be re formers make. Solicitude, like chari- ty, should begin at home You take a persons estimate of his own goodness and you get the measure of his own conceit and a glimpse of that person S weak points. Those who think they are so pure they cannot sin are in ex . trerne peril, for the thought of itself is ] a sin. When we all strive to do right our eyes will cease to magnify the 1 faults of others.

In these days of partinss!-part-

In these days of partines!-part- ings which involve, perhaps, destiny it is well to recall the full meaning of Good bye" when the heart is too full to say more, for it is both a farewell
 and a prayer since it is the abbrevi- ated form of God be with you" '" When the heart goes into that word what 8 volume of love and solicitude goes with it. It is not every one who with Landon can say: T have no parting sigh to give. so take my parting smile" But if we cannot command the parting word what sweet memories go with the parting smile eaen when tears are absent;i but what of the parting tears? In our loving regard we may recalf that tears hinder sorrow from becoming despair" and that tears are the safety valves of the heart." But it is good on such occasions, how ever it may be expressed, to know that we are loved not because of our selves but in spite of ourselves. The parting word may be a real comfort although it may seem like the shadow of death

The coIered American soldier has won his place in the front line for true American spirit and the courage which the shadow of death cannot dim. In their early days the prejudi- ced public had to confess that the colored troops fought nobly!" but somehow the majority came to re- gard this as joke; but it was no joke when the colored troops saved the day at Santiago. or when in Mex ico they faced death and died for their country with the Yalor of the bravest, or when recently two of our colored American troopers in France were named in general orders for valiant service. Colored troops bound across the sea stopped at a Connecticut station recently and a newspaperman asked a big soldier on the platform if they were bound for France.

THE MAN WHO TALKS
The fact that walking clubs are in

The fact that walking clubs are in- ereasing, and the benefits, physical and mental, of strolling into the country are becoming more recognize ed, is a good sign. There is no such thing as solitude in the country. The abundance of life is without stint, and one must be mentally blind not to recognize it. There is charm in country lanes, howery pastures. ferny woods and singing brooks. When we bear in mind that God made the country and man made the town we shall have no trouble in becoming conscious that we get nearer the soul of the Universe the more fla miliar we become with the creations of God. The walk to the country is. just like walk toward the Holy City in which the glory of our Heav- enly Father is made manifest. How walking in the country expands the lungs and strengthens the muscles and improves the health; and how the myriad of expressions of life which must represent the will of God invite the soul to investigate His works and the better know Him.

What an important word Stick is! A French soldier commenting upon the situation says: "'We can stick if the civilians can!" Have we the gum in us to adhere until the last gun is fired? It is in the fact this postage stampy figure of speech fits that the excuse is found for using it. If the soldiers in the front trench in France can stick where ten boche shells are arriving and exploding each second, we ought to be able to stick where the call to free heartediy open OUT wallets is as frequent as the call for trolley fares between Norwich and New London There should be no ques- ton whether or not we can stick as long as the Germans can. If they can march into the barrage of death sing ing, we should be able to go down into our pockets with good cheer to support the cause of humanity and to make our soldiers sure that the Will supporting them is invincible. It is better to stick for an honorable peace than to be stuck in the German vassalage class-a plight not equalled this side of hell.

This little matter of going over the top" when Uncle Sam needs our dol lars is an old American habit. One of the most remarkable manifestations of our financial power inspired by patriotism was when the government called for two hundred millions to prosecute the war against Spain when the slogan was: Remember the Maine!" And the people went over the top twelve hundred million, sub scribing seven hundred times the amount Uncle Sam called for.

There are some slogans in popular use which hurt more than they help, and some so senseiess that one won = ders how they ever came to be adopt ed for use. Take this one for instance: You must give till it pinches!'' As a measure of giving there is nothing more deceptive. A miser is pinched when he is compelled to give a penny i; and many wellto do people are worse hurt to have to give ten dollars than some working people are who give twenty. We have never been informed that the widow who gave her last mite felt anything but the joy of giving. Those whose gifts are prompted by a generous heart feel the joy of giving those who give from a patriotic i'm pulse are conscious of the value of the gift to themselves and others those who give grudginly feel the thorn. or the pinch.

Under the pre-war tax law, which
is still in effect, single man Is

Of a family may deduct $4,000. The
Additional exemption of 5000 for

also allowed married persons. The
effect Of the two laws being in force
is that a single person having a "bal-

pay a 2 per cent tax on $500. or so,
and 2 per cent tax on S2500, or $50
