has done more than. fatten the kitty. It has not put the trolley company here on a self-supporting basis. We do not believe it. will do so in Spring field. The trolley problem has become very real one and has made the community problem a part Of it. The one is not more interested in com mercial success than the other for the welfare of one is intimately bound up in the. welfare of the other. Com munities have grown under the inn netus Of the trolley and must now rely upon the efficiency of the service given. The remedy will not be found in experimenting with increasing penny charges.;s The trouble goes deeper than. that. The whole business demands a re-sufvey from it's own standpoint and from, that of the pub- hc.-New Haven Journal Courier.
 In response to a request from the "picketing suffs" at Washington, . number of Bridgeport working girls are planning to make the trip this week for the express purpose of vio- lating the law and getting arrested. They are promised that they will get arrested and that the jail sentnce will be light and easy"
 But why get arrested?
 The girls who are at work turning out munitions in Bridgeport's great factories are in themselves the finest argument for woman suffrage that ever was advanced, eNH7
 The work they do is proof that they are entitled to the vote.
 When they leave their work to go to Washington for the purpose of get ting arrested they weaken the case. They injure and obstruct the cause in stead of helping it..

MANIPULATION OF PRUssIANlsM.

Admiral von Hintze. the new Ger man foreign secretary. submitted to an interview last week and during the course of his remarks explained that the several chanceliors of that country had pointed out that the enemy continued to show a will to prosecute the war until the annihilation of Ger many was completed.
 In making that statement the ad- miral was right or wrong in accord ance with the view which he takes of the matter If he means that the allies are determined to put the Ger man nation out Of existence he is wrong, but if he refers to the deter imitation of the allied nation to crush the imperial German government and thus put an end to Prussian militaP- ism, he is entirely correct. as are the several chancellors who have expressed the same opinion before him.
 Germany didn't enter this war to preserve it's rights, to protect it's terri tory or to safeguard it's trade. Such were not in danger. It started the war in accordance with plans which  lad been under development for long term of years that it might increase it's influence and domination among the people of Europe. It has shown it's determination to rule the world to grasp power which would be a danger to every nation and to employ every conceivable harbaric device to accomplish it.
 Against such a government every civilized nation ought to be aligned and most ot them are with the deter imitation to end it forever. but that means the imperial government and not the German nation. Its end i; necessary for the benefit Of the world and likewise for the welfare of the German people. and the allies are going to accomplish it.

We had no army, no thought of war, least of all European war" It is indeed a colossal achievement and the spirit in which they are undertaking it is as great as is the deed. They have come with no selfish aim or ob
 ject; not for them the dream of an-. nexing this or that; they are come to
 fight for a great deal, Q battle for the
 peace and freedom Of the world; and
 as one gazed at their eager faces one felt that America had gained her
 soul, and was showing by her ex-
 ample, how souls are won. The age
 of chivalry, after all. is not passed, . and here were men all glowing with
 fine emotion engaged in great epn
 prise as striking as, and far more use
 full than, that of the old Crusaders 800
 years ago. Yes, it was indeed strik-
 ing sight-not a drunken man to be
 seen-and as they filed down the plat form to receive the passing benedic- tion of a sandwich aiS> cup of cof-
 fee, one could not help wishing that the Kaiser could be there, and there would be no more of his cheap sneers at the forces of America In the face of such a sight one could not doubt
 on which side victory would incline. And ones last feeling was one of sin cere homage to the great genius of l President Wilson worthy successor of | Washington and Lincoln, who has reused such spirit in the great na 1 tion which he leads, and in speech after speech, has laid down, in lang
 uage never to be forgotten, the high
 and noble ideals at which the Allies aim. When the Archbishop of York 1 entered on his mission to the United 1 States 9, short time ago he chose as l the text of his first sermon. And they
 beckoned to their partners in the other
 ship that they should come and help l them, and they came.'' Yes they
 came and they are comins-brethren
 now forever, in a brotherhood whose | ties are sealed and ratified by com i mon efforts for a common end.''

visions of the note which the Spanish representative in Berlin has been ask- ed to communicate to the imperial German government are to the ef- feet that Spain will in the future take ever from among the interned Ger man vessels one for each Spanish ship that is sunk for the purpose of supplying Spain with the ships which it needs for it's own business and of which it is being deprived by the op- erations of the underwater boats. The notification deals with future cases and entirely disregards the so or more vessels which have already been sunk and means that before the so German vessels are brought into use by Spain Germany must sink as many more that belong to Spain. the vessels to be returned. however. and Spain to seek restitution for its losses after the war.
 This makes it evident that Spain has not as yet been forced to suffer through loss of property and lives to such an extent that it is ready to strike back and demand respect for it's rights It is wiggling finger when II should be shaking a fist.

STANDING HY THE PRESIDENT

eff the voters of Mississippi should again choose Senator Vardaman to represent them. I should be obliged to accept their action as a condemna- ton of my administration. and it is only fair that they should know this before they act"
 This is the way that President Will son addressed a former supporter of Senator Vardaman in keeping with the policy which he has adopted of oppos- ing the renomination of those nem- bers of congress who have persistent ly stood against the administration in relation to the war. AS was intended it was communicated to the people of that state. Naturally it was attacked and the voters of Mississippi were urged to express their own minds when it came to selecting their can .didate.
 How they have received the advice which has been offered to them is pretty clearly demonstrated by the action in the primary which resulted in the successful candidacy of Con- gressman Harrison for the office oi OiltICo oJdlCS SCi4alUl EI4SOLoSAPP politics are all one way and the nomination of Harrison of course means his election. The voters of thai state thus indicate that they listened to the appeal which was made by the president. They consider that it is vital at this time to send representa- tives to Washington who will stand for the best interests of the country It is certainly no time for obstruction ists and it was impossible to returr Vardaman to the senate without al the same time endorsing the attitud, which he has maintained and whicf the president considered it was neces sary to protest against to the con stituency which was responsible fol his presence ir Washington.

HASN'T SUFFERED ENOUGH YET.

AS was suspected the latest disclos- ures show that the denial of the Spanish premier, to the ef. feet that the text of the note which had been sent to Germany regarding the sinking O. Spanish vessels could not be made public because there was no note. was for the purpose of keep ing the matter under cover as long as possible. He profited little from his attempt to keep the matter secret. He must have known that it was bound to come out and that it was useless to attempt to deny the cx~ istence of such communica ton when others were fully aware of the fact to the contrary.

THE OATH.

I will not drink from a German cup,
Or eat from a German plate;
I will not deal with a German man,
All foul with German hate.
I'll use no drug with a German mai
That's grown on German land,
I'll eat no food and drink no beer
If made by German hanG.
I will not use a German tool
Razor, or knife or saw.
I will not trade with a German shop
That lives by a German raw
/ will not sail on a German ship
Where German songs are sung; 4
I will not breathe where Gods Gle

Is soiled by German tongue.
I'll not forget those awful deeds
To girls and little boys;
No more I'll hang on Christmas tire
Those blood-stained German toys

He'll break it if he can.
There is no love in a German heart
Or faith in a. German man.
THIS is MY OATH, when war is do
I'll swear to keep it true;
And since I know you feel the same
I'll pass it on to You.

FEAR OF FAMINE
NOW is BANISffED
Hoover, Back from Europe, Brings
Encouraging Reports Of Con.
diiiOns-Aliies In High
Spirits.

New York, Aug. 23.-Tae United
States will share with the Lilies tneir
sacrifice of food as well as uiood in
the cause of world democracy, declar-
ed Herbert c. Hoover, federal food
admins rator, on his arrival here TO-
day enroute to Washington, after a
brief visit to Engl-nd and France.
Asserting that 1--WE have to make
good" a pledge othis effect, which
he had given to the allied food admin
istrators while sitting at common
table in common cause" Mr.. Hooy-
er said that to do SO America will
next year have to supply the allies
four billion pounds of fats, 800 000,-
600 pounds of beef products, $780,
100000 bushels of cereals, and 1,000,-
900 tons of sugar. However, he add
ed, beginning September 1, there will
be no need for drastic food rationing
in the allied countries except in
the case of sugar and beef.
Mr. Hoover said in part:
All Praise Due the Women.
THE harvests in France, England
and Italy are better than one could
expect in the tremendous drain o.
man power to the front This is due
to the women. There is no sight in
the world that would appear to the
American heart as that Of the liter
ally millions of women doing all OF
the work getting in the narvests
while their men are at work in tie
shops and driving back Germans.
CT the foodstuffs which America
must export, Mr.. Hoover said:
After shipping is set aside for the
transport of the American army and
for military purposes of the allies, a
definite amount o. tom. ge is maze
available for the transport of food
for civilian consumption. The pur-
pose of our European food conference
has been to determi,.c tie amount of
food upon which hea;oil and morale
can be maintained, and to determine
the nearest possible source of sup
! ply of this food to the allies.
America Bears Burden.
Upon North America falls the
burden of food supply. While Can
ada can export 1O0,000,OO0 bushels
of grain this year, the major part of
the allied program for siexi year falls
upon us.
"We have also to feed our own
enormous army We can do it if we
simply have the will to live with
every economy and to waste nothing
"By the great efforts of our farm
ers, our United States harvests are
better this year, but in order that we
may build zip surplus of wheat this
year, as against possible crop fail
ures such as we had last year, we
have decided to mix 20 per cent of
other grains with wheat flour in all
the countries fighting Germany We
cannot ask for better bread than
France, and we propose the American
people should maintain a common
standard of bread with them
