No sympathy can be manifested for and absolutely no 1eniency should be shown the. two coal dealers. on the east side of New York if. they. are convicted as charged of charging the poor of that section at the rate of s33 a ton for coal.
 This is practice which is followed however with too great frequency where coal is disposed of in small quantities. Those who pay the price are those who have got to have the fuel. They supply their needs by pur- chasing in driblets and yet at a. time when only small orders are taken any way there area those who proceed tc take advantage Of those who are the leas; able.to meet such an exbrbitant demand. osN@ 1'T

NEEDED MODIFICATION.

Some relief which Is bound to be of great benefit to the country is go- ing to result from the notifications which have been made by the fuel ad- ministrator concerning his order shut ting down the industries of the coun- try. When, as first indicated, it was evident that all factories, whether en- gagged in the production of war mater :al or not were ordered shut down it was simply an about face on the. pro- gramme for the speeding up of pro- ddction. With shortages existing ir many directions, and with criticism before the country because there was an inadequate supply of guns. clothing and ships the stopping of production would simply increase the embarrass ment in that direction, and especially so when there was large number ol these factories which possessed suffi cient fuel to keep them going. Whi., the order may have been designed t improve our condition such q stel would have had the opposite effect.
 The change therefore is a decidedl, wise one. Our war industries shoult by no means be interfered with. w, have been persistently clamorin5 fo greater output and we might just a. well stop despatching troop train which are necessary as to hold up tn factories which are turning out ma terial for their use. Likewise tfer
 ;ould be no justification for the clos
 ng of plants, whether engaged in es sential or non essential work, whe1 such plants are operated by water o by electricity generated by water, o as is possible in some instances her the use of compressed air.

LOSS TO THE NATION.

The whole country cannot fail to re- sret the action which has been taken by Daniel Willard, president of the Baltimore and Ohio railroad, in re- signing from the post at the head of the war industries board in order that he may give to his own railroad the services it requires in view of the governments move in taking control If that along with the other railroad systems.
 As railroad man Mir. Willard's lead- srship is unquestioned. He possesses lhe knowledge which is required for the best handling of such business. He has been invaluable to the government In the service which he, with others has been performing up to this time relative to the problems of. the rail roads and war industries.

WILL soLsHEvlkl STAND FIRM

If Germany and the bolsheviki both adhere to their present positions the possibilities of a separate peace have been greatly decreased. Thus far the yielding has all been done by the bolsheviki. They went to a German fortress for the conference. Their pro- position to conduct future meetings cn neutral soil was strenuously op- posed and they complied with the German demand to continue the dis cussion where they were. The bol- sheviki have, however refused to agree upon any terms of. peace until the oc-
 cupied portions of Russia are evacu-
 lated They have even refused to le;
 the people in those provinces deeidl
 as to what kind of a government they
 should have until the German army
 and influence has been withdrawn, and there can be no question but what
 they arc right in standing by such Q policy
 As might. be expected, however, Ger, many is firm in it's ;Esi5tence that
 -t will not withdraw it's army, al though it is willing to take away mos
 of its troops, until this matter of sci determination is settled. This mean: of course that it is not going to sac. rifice the chance which it has ito bring it's full influence to. bear in swinging the vote of those provinces. It is de, .<-mined that they shall come unde. , German control. Being on the grcunt they can help their contention mater iaily.
 It thus remains to be seen whethe the bolsheviki are actually deter
 mined as Trotzky says, that having I overthrown the czar they do not intent 1 to submit to German imperialism. ] is question in fact right now wtlethe 1 Russia is going to come under Ger man control after as well as befor | peace is declared.

OTHER VIEW POINTS

The more the federal regulators at tempt to regulate the business of this country the greater the demoraliza- tion of business. Many complicated problems present themselves but none of th&en can be solved satisfactorily by suspending business and stoppoing wages once a week. A few practical
 business men at the head of things would very quickly bring order out of chaos, then business could proceed as usual. There are too many rocking chair experts monkeying with -busi-
 ness they know nothing about. Our
 postal service is demoralized, our rail- road service was never so bad and at time when we should have the greatest demoralization in the public service that this country has ever known. And now they want the na- tion to suspend all business during one day of each week. That's the lin1- it! The nation will not stand for it. New Haven Times-Leader.

WORK OF THE SUBMARINES,

There is encouragement in the fact that there was decided slump in the submarine toll during the past week. There have been other decreases as conspicuous, only to be followed by increased results, so that it is im- proper to look upon the dip in the latest period as signifying anything more than temporary gain for the entente which serves to lower the average.
 It is made quite apparent, however and such must be realized by Berlin even though it pretends to claim that there has been destruction of allied and neutral shipping in the period since the submarine warfare was opened of ten million tons, that the Non Tirpitz scheme has not been the success which it had expected. Wher 1t is realized that Germany claimed ir The early part Of last year that il would require but three to six months to starve England it apparently fell That it could accomplish the task. Int work had not been underway long be- fore it was convinced to the contrar,
 
 the more apparent it has become tha not only was it impossible to attain the goal in the prescribed time bu that the chances of ever accomplish ing it were steadily dwindling.
 GermGly's claim as to the amour of shipping 1t has destroyed, including the neutrals' loss, regarding which i ShOrld he hidipc- i+o faoo ,v,;+b .Lz instead of boasting, is greatly exas Serated. It is as far from the tru facts as its object is from accom- plishment. That the submarines ar still great menace cannot be over looked.

tWritten Specially for The Bulletin.)
 In concluding these excerpts from the late George M. Curtis's valuable book on Early Silver of Connecticut and Its Makers, book issued in a limited edition and only possessed by the favored few, Mrs. E. E. Rogers, of Norwich, being one of the fortunate cnes and loaning her book to Tie Bulletin, it might be well to sum- marize the silversmiths of this section, as in that volume noted. .
 Taking them alphabetically. there was William Adgate, of Norwich, born in 1744, died in 1779; and Pygen Adams, of New London, 1712-177S. Then follows a considerable list Of smiths who worked in Preston: John Avery, 1732-1794. who was a farmer and self taught silversmith. He made clocks, shoe and knee buckles, spoons and beads. He was a prominent man in his time, a justice of the peace, and held court. Four of his sons were silversmiths.
 These sons were, john Avery. Jr. I Preston. 1155 -1S15, Robert Staunton Avery, Preston, 1771-1846, who was a captain of the militia. When his 1 father died he abandoned the trade
 Samuel Avery, Preston, 1760- 0-1S96, and
 William Avery, Preston, 1T65-179S. | In Holland lived James Madison Barrows, born in Mansfield in 1909 1 who was working at hisotrade in Tol' land in 1928 The exact date of his l death seems in doubt. l Another silversmith from PrestoI mentioned in MT. Curtis's list is Dan iel Billings, who was located iI Poquetanuck Village, and advertised
 in 17S0.

In these piping times of peace talk
 we should not forget that peace is
 rarely denied to the peaceful. The
 man clamoring for peace with sword
 in his hand is a travesty upon truth
 and justice. He who desires the re-
 spect and love of his fellowmen
 doesn't demandit at the point of the
 bayonet. If peace rules the day
 when reason rules the mind" it is too
 early yet to look toward Berlin for it.
 The peace the kaiser is looking for today is not to promote the we'll being or his fellewmen, but to gratify and cement a lust of power.
