LORD READING.

By the actian of the British sov. ernment an important change is to Be made in it's diplomatic relations with this country. Not only does the seiee- tion of Lord Reading mean that lie will be the first ambassador of Jew : ish bl9od to represent Great Britain, at Washington, but it also means that
 the work of the various interests Of that country in the United States is going to be plaeed under a single head instead of being divided as it hAs Been in the past.
 r Lord Reaiihg is well equipped fof
 this post. Not only does he possess
 the executive ability but he Is a leader
 in financial and legal affairs Begin
 ming as broker he stadied Jaw afid
 followed that procession with slcl
 success that he was not only made
 attorney general but was made lofd
 chief justice, a position which he will
 have to felinquish er from which lie will have to be given leave of at1-
 senee until the duties which he Is t perfoTm in this country are actoffi. plished. Because Of his special ability in that line he will devote his chief effofts in thls country to fitiafcial matters and war activities. The routine of tht diplomatic service will be left to eff1 bassy officials although he will hay, oversight there Really he comes t succeed to the task which Northciiff, undertook but instead of having a ai vided control over British affairs her, they are all to be put under a singh
 head. He will be the directing fore,
 and the British interests will uaaues tionably be strengthened. It was eI1l, TWO years ago that he was here On l financial .raission, when he made al | excellent impression, but the fitnes i of the man to carry on the connbina tion of duties has uf1duestionabiF play l Cd ar important part in his selection | at this time.

PRISON LABOR ON FARMS,

What appears to be a move in the right direction is that which has been begun in New York state. although it has not progressed beyond the con- ference stage, where prison workers and representatives of the state del pertinent Of agriculture have been con. sidering the advisabilfty of using prison labor to increase agricultural production.
 There can be no question but what there is need for employing every pos sible means for seivins the farm la= Dor problem. The country needs all the agricultural products that it caf, get. Under norma, conditions there was . scarcity of farm labor, and with the drafting of men for war service and the offering Of unpreeedented wages in certain Industries at worl; Oh war orders serious iffoads have
 been made in the ranks of those whd
 have been engaged in agricultural puf.
 suits It is therefore important thai
 every means should be taken to Dei
 into actual operation every possible
 force that is available for such ser. vice, and there Is no question bu what prison labor can be used wftl excellent results in such work. It ha, been done with marked success ii connection with the Windhan count, Jail in this states and in other state. prisoners have been employed if, roa. building and like efforts 90 that if at tenhted it would by no means De . radical departure Or a daring eSnsri ment. There are pfscedents enough ti Warrant the effort and there is eer tainly need for the employment of al the help that could be secured in sucl a way. Care would have to be exer cised in the selection of the prisoner for such work but there are bound t,
 be benefits which weaia accrue to fh prisoners as we'll as the state, for out door work is preferable to indoor oc eupation. And what New York is con

OUR WAR AIMS.

In accepting the challenge of the central powers regarding the aims of the War President Wilson spoke to congress in a manner which leaves no doubt as to whefe this nation stands or why it entered the war. It is fully in accord with the position which has been taken by Premier bieyd George of Great Britain which has been 50 strongly shaeFsed by France and other allied nations, and as has been so re- peatedls set forth It shows where the beiligeFent nations of the entente group stand in regard to the conduct ef the war and what they viii insist upon before entering into Negotiations regarding peace, all of which stands est in steh contrast to the attitude which the central powers have taken regarding these very things. t

Mir. seovills, with a desire to ad.

Mir. seovilie, with desire to ad- just conditions, has fixed 8 price of fifteen cents quart for milk for tlSs state. A dealer anywhere in ConnecN- cut can charge fifteen cents for the milk now and have MT. Hoover back him up. This in spite of the fact that prices are already so high that peo- tile are complaining and many fami- lies have been compelled to cut deW1i their supply to the minimum and in some instances to do away with it
 altogether. While Mir. Scovi1le is no
 doubt back up in his decision by au-
 thorities on milk production, it seems
 to us that he ought to endeaver to
 get prices fixed for materials which
 go into milk rather than to put up the price by which the product sl1al1 be sold. In a little over two years the price of milk has risen from eight
 cents to fifteen, a rise of about nine ; ty per cent. It may be that prices Were too low in 1914 but that advance does not seem warranted in anything else. There is surely something wrong Journal.

Canadian Aviator Destroys "sausaue. 7

Canadian Aviator Destroys "Sausage."
 The following incident was told sev- efal days ago in New York by Can adian lad of twenty three who has already distinguished himself in the aviation eerps He holds the remark able record of having brought down forty seven. enemy planes and three balloons. For his vaiof King George decerated him with the ribbons of three c1ders. So many honors at one time and tc one so young are a thing unprecedented: Here is his story: !
 "0ae Of our scohts brought into canib one Gay tie news that an enemy 'saI5age was anchored about six miles 'tehifld the firing line. (You should kToW 'satsage' is the name we give tt a dirigible.) The Germans anchor one
 of these sausages' to the ground by
 cable. then let it go up a couple et
 thousand feet from which point they
 report movements ill air and on ground
 for miles around When one of ou1
 craft gets too near for the enemy's
 safety, the sausage drops down t1 earth with incredible swifthess. How
 they do it is a mystery; we have tried
 and tried to secure the same speed
 in bfingffiy our balloons to earth, but as yet without success
 Well, the colonel seiit me off to gel the sausage flew over the first line of trenches, but saw nothing of th; foe. All it once q sharp crack, crack, caught fny ear. i examined my engine -nothing wrong there, so I went on h a few seconds crack, crack again This time I looked all around me, thef up. Not far above me, pouring dowr shots meant for me, was Hun.
 swooped down from under him ant pointed my plane directly upward. Al the time we were rising we were un der constant fire. You have no ides ] how ones blood .tihgles at such !; time! Well, he. didn't hit us, and w soon got over tifn 1n air fighting tn advantage is to the fellow higher .ur and we had it. Then we went afta him and kept up chasing and firini I until he disappeared from sight
 "Still the sausage wasn't to be seer 1 50 I eontinued scouting around i
 search of it. After half an hour or s
