Views of the Vigilantes
What Have You Got Out of tn. War?

 By Clyde B. Wilson of the yigilantes
 You have been in the war one year But it is three thousand miles away. Have you got it yet? Or has it got you yet in it's sharp, impinging import; its full, cosmic significance? Or do you still grope for it. and groping get noth- ing but a story book blur? Do you ever waken in the middle of the night with the horror upon you that while you lie snug and secure among soft, clean and clinging things, men overseas are slip ping in the blood of their comrades and piling dead, deep in heaps, one upon the other? And have your high vows for bigger, better service made at such time faded out to discredit- ed dreams and your momentary grasp of it gone again in the light and vigor of your busy day? Don't you get it-this war? Why?
 Do you ever have the feeling come over you ike a sudden chill that in spite of what you are doing. you are doing nothing?
 In your religious and social life do l you not find your pleasures benefits, and grasp of basic tenets fiuctuate in l the exact measure of your interest and l personal contribution to the propa- ganda?
 Do you ever awaken of a morning to your daily duties only to shrink from the gigantic problems and color less grind before you. and in an hours l time see the mountains shrink to mole hills and they early drab perspective glow and flame under the fervor of your own forced activity? l There is your answer. Do more
 Keep your night time vows in the day item and your night time thrills will remain with you, and to speak o1 the easy conscience

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR
Trolley Conditions.

Mir. Editor: I am very glad some one has the courage to protest about the trolley conditions on Laurel Hill, but think the. noise part is the least of the trials the patrons have to en- dure. With the two streaks of rust the trolley people call street rail- road that seem to be broken in two every few feet, flat wheels and rattle of loose bolts. the pounding is so great that it is almost impossible for the patrons to keep their false teeth intact and I don't think it could be done if the plate was not rubber to absorb the shock. But really I sup pose we should be thankful for what we have got for if we should lose it altogether we would miss it as bad as the sign. Norwich For Progress, that has gone from the coal bin and presume it will be put in the barn beside the Welcome to Norwich sign. ONE OF THE SUFFERING PUBLIC Norwich, April 2S. 1918.

YELLED THREATS TO HOLLAND.

Holland has unquestionably been getting an earache from the German press as to what it should do not to bring down the wrath of Germany upon it. This is plainly indicated by the statement of the Taeglische Rund- schau of Berlin which has warned Holland against becoming a second Belgium; that is to say place from which Great Britain may attack Ger many. The possibility of such a de- velopnent, it says, cannot be disre- garded and warns the Dutch in their own interests to seek cover.
 Along the same line the Clerical Germania in declaring that the Ger man demands upon Holland are in- tended to restore the balance of that country, which lately has. shown it. self "too conciliatofy toward the en- tente. Holland is not yet placed be- fore a final decision and by conscien- tious neutrality can still keep outside the war, but she must understand that an end will come some day to German patience, which already has been tried to the uttermost.'
 Isn't it the fact however. that it is , the patience of Holland which is be- ing tried to the uttermost? Germany is trying through manifestation oi 1 it's might to force Holland to do its | bidding, to get it to depart from its i neutral stand and to use Dutch terri 1 tory the same as it did Belgian terri i tory for the purpose of getting greater
 advantages whereby it can strike a 1 the enemy. Such statements as have Ecen made by the press can only bt
 regarded as yelled threats against thi neutral neighbor which has been con
 tributing greatly to the support o
 Germany's armies in the war, an
 Holland is certainly justified in op
 posing the German schemes.

OTHER VIEW POINTS

In France, we were told the other day, they have begun to feed ses.weed to horses, and now the Museum of Natural History in New York with the cooperation of the Federal Food Board, is holding an exhibit designed to prove that seaweed is more or less edible" and it is recommended for use in American homes. The Japanese have long recognized the food value of seaweed; perhaps we could learn to appreciate it more readily if we were to begin by calling it marine spin ach. h."-Providence Bulletin.
 It has never been even hinted that there is a Jack of coal in the ground equal to the normal and abnormal de- mands for it. It has been stated that there was a lack of labor and of trans portation facilities. It is not known that the seriousness of that condition has been unrelieved during the months that have lapsed for it's consideration and anticipation. It is time. in other words, that an up-to date explanation be given for the distressing hint that the return of cold weather will not find material improvement in the general situation. We may be per mitted to risk the suggestion that a counterpart of Sohwab of steel fame in the coal business might, with the proper authority, meet pressing re- quirements. - New Haven Journal Courier.

Mothers! Here's Something New
 For Group and Cold Troubles
An External Treatment That Replaces Internal Dosing You Can Let the Children Run Outdoors In All Weahers and Get Their Needed Fresh Air and Exercise

Growing children need plenty of fresh air and outdoor exercise and this exposure is bound to cause some colds. These colds should not be neg lected, and yet mothers know that constant dosing" is bad for the deli cate stomachs of children.
 The best protection is plenty of fresh air in the bedroom, and at the first signs of trouble prompt appli- cation of the Southern external "vapor' treatment, Vick's VapoRub. You simply rub it well over the throat and chest, and cover with a warm flannel cloth.

Much has been said about the lack of Americanism in Milwaukee It hE been considered 10 be a center of pro- Germanism because it is a center of socialism and q large number of Germans whether naturalized or enc my aliens reside there. It was shown in the recent election for senator in that state that there were over 1o0.- 900 who stood for the placing in the United States senate of a man who opposed the war and actually urged the opening of negotiations for peace.
 Such being the case it could hardly be expected that there would be very enthusiastic response on the part of the people of that section to the many demands which have been ma de upon them for war purposes. It is claimed. however, by one who does not like to see an injustice done to Milwaukee that that city oversub- scribed it's quota in the Red Cross campaign 90 per cent that it went ever the top in the Red Cross mem- bership campaign 62 per cent, that in the K. Of c. campaign its contribu- tions were 8 per cent. more than sought at the outset, that the first Liberty loan received an oversubscrip- tion of 20 per cent. and the second sS Ter cent, and that in the appeal for Y. M. c. A. funds the amount receiv- ed was 15 per cent. in excess of the city's share.
 If that is the case Milwaukee, or a certain portion of it's people at least, are doing their part and doing t handsomely, and with that section where so much pro -Germanism is said to prevail responding in this man oer it is time for some other sections which are Dragging about their loy- atty and patriotism to see that they are not open to the charge of living m glass houses.

Should Have Been Reported to United
 States Commissioner or Police.

MT. Editor: An incident in connec- tion with the parade Friday has just come to my knowledge,
 Two women were watching the pa rade and talking in German.
 They were overheard by young woman who understands both French and German, and they were alarming the American flag and wishing they could see the German flag in it's place.
 The young woman did not know what to do, and so they escaped with out any notice being taken of them.
 Will you, MT. Editor. nleasa sta'e through the columns of The Bulletin just what action anyone under similar circumstances should take?
 Why should such people be allowed to remain in this country? And why should they be allowed all of the priv ileges of our free institutions, to live and prosper here, when they have no spirit of loyalty toward the United States?
 Can we hardly blame the Germans for calling us ''idiotic Americans?"

THE SUCCESS AT zEEsR,yeeE

It is just what was expected when the claim is put forth from Germany to the effect that the recent raid up- on Zeebrugge and Ostend proved to be failure, that the channels are not blocked to the submarines and that the effort resulted in a German suc- cess. Strange as it may seem Ger many has not claimed the credit for the sinking of the cement laden ships and causing them to rest where they do today. According to their way of looking at 1t it is impossible b consider the operation success

The resourcefulness of Germany can be depended upon to find an ex- cuse for going to war with Holland if it is considered necessary to take that step, but it might as well be un- derstood that it will not stop to make any formal announcement when the time comes
