LETTERS TO THE EDITOR
Norwich Has Not Yet Provided Half
 It's Reasonable Allotment.


 Mir. Editor. Please allow me through the medium of your valuable columns to draw the attention Of the people of Norwich to the campaign being conducted just now by the Sal vation Army for s1,o00, this being the eity's quota of the national fund of s10D0, 600 for war service work. About half of this amount has been raised, and it is earnestly hoped that the ball asice will be forthcoming. Colonel Gale of the Thames National Bank is the treasurer and all checks are made payable to him. Mayor Brown as chief executive of the city. commended this drive last week, and the national campaign has the backing of President Wilson, Sec retary of War Baker, and most of the leading military authorities, while Governor Hclcomb who presided al our great rally in Hartford Feb 12 has backed the state campaign i'll the strongest and most cordial manner Hartford's quota was S10,e0e and the city gave $20.000 while every commu- nity in the state is exceeding theil quotas. s7 May we hope that Norwich in hel usual generous spirit VIII exceed its l very reasonable quota?
 Dr. Mott and many prominent au. thorities emphatically state that oul i war work is much needed and is not z duplication of other such work being done by the Y. M. c. A. and others.
 The canvassers have been to tn, business houses and will now star canVassing the houses. Be ready [, l do your part and make allaehecks pay able to Colonel Gale today. Yours sincerely,

STORIES OF THE WAR
An American Base in France.

Correspondence of the Associated Press):
 s When the first American troops reached a Port in France in June and July of last year, they were out spokenly delighted with the camp which lies three or four miles from the seaport. Most of the men had come from long months in Texas and Mexico and they could not say enough about the clean, wooden barracks and the mild. pleasant weather.
 All succeeding troops that have dis embarked here have been ,quartered for time at the same camp, which be- tween times has doubled it's capacity and acquired 2. number of new fea, lures, bus never a Word of praise es capes the soldiers now, for as a we; weather and winter camp it has developed disadvantages with wfiick il authorities have constantly to wrestie Its very distance from town, wfricf at the beginning was regarded as aI advantage because it took the soldters out in the country away from tht city, and gave the men a healthy hike is today g disadvantage.

whereby Turkey is given added ter ritory in that very region by remov- Ing it from Russian rule and placing 1t under Turkish rule as recompense for the help which that country has given to Germany in the war, only goes to show that it can continue in the future as far as that country is concerned.
 Just at the time, when Turkey is being paid of, comes reports from Ar menia that new massacres are under way there. These are taking place in the section which was formerly under Turkish control but which of late has been occupied by the Russians. But with the thousands of square miles in Transcaucasia given to Turkey it can be anticipated that it will con- tinue the same methods there which it has been employing at home as long as 1t is permitted to hold it. Germany has no regard for humanity, even that under Turkish domination so long as it can benefit from the sav- agery. It simply tells Turkey to go ahead and do it's worst with German sanction. 4

Made-In-C Connecticut War Interviews
An Interview With Mrs. William P
 Kirk Of BridgePort.


 The chief sacrifice demanded of woman in war time is that she hold herself ready, while her menfolk are away at war, ito take their places in industry and do a double duty of labor and love until ; peace returns, Mrs. William P. Kirk of Bridgeport. said yesterday in a. Made-in- Connecticut War Interview with women obtained by the Connecticut state council of defense. Mrs. Kirk said:-.
 Tt is easy to know what spirit of sacrifice ought to be sheWH by women in war time. This has been deter mined by the process of inHneuorial ages. The spirit of sacrifice for war is a spirit of sacrifice to tho uttermost. It. is the spirit exhibited by the man who goes to war with the purpose to die for his country if that be neces | sary; with the purpose to endure all privation, all wounds, all pain, all anguish, tnf1inchingly. s 'The spirit of sacrifice is predeter- i mined for women by. the nature of war They are to give their husbands, theiI sons, those who love them and whom they love. They. are to give in ths I sI krit of ungrndging sacrifice; they I are to stand dry-eyed and cheerful al their men go to camp, cantonnent ant trench. ........
 ''The form that sacrifice should takt is more difficult Generally 1t will con stst in doing willingly and .efHVientl. what requires to be dones speak o those lesser sacrifices which e0nsti ute duty for the women after thei men have been taken:. or wenan' duty before her. men have been taken
 Tn it's utternfost expression, wa requires of men not more than tWelv or fifteen per cent for the direct sac rffice of battle, and the-iins behind tn battle front. The great .sacrific women must endure is hrnitsd in tn lsame proportion.

THE COMING LOAN,

With interest do the people of the United States learn of the fixing of the date by Secretary McAdoo for the opening of the next Liberty loan cam paign- It has been known that it could be expected this spring but the date was uncertain It is now set for April 6. the first anniversary of the entrance of this country into the great war
 This is only a month off but the time is none too long in which to give publicity to the matter It is a mat ter upon which the people should be thoroughly informed for the interven- ing time is needed by those who will provide the funds to make prepara- tons in one way or another. 7-
 It Is therefore of the utmost import ance that Secretary McAdoo should set forth as fully as possible all the details in connection herewith. The people should be thoroughly informed before the campaign opens as to just what is expected of them. They are willing and anxious to do their pari but they want to know the details.
 They want to know what the amount of the loan. which has already beer anticipated by the sale of treasur1 certificates to a limited extent, is go ing to be. They are eager to ascer. tain what the rate is going to be fo although the rate of the certificates a four and a half per cent indicate that tha. will be the rate for the mex loan 1t has not as yet been so an nounced. They likewise want to knoy about the conversion of the previou bonds. These are all matters whiel ought to be clearly understood be fore the campaign opens, so that tn campaign can start of with a snal from the very beginning instead c leaving the heavy work to be done i the last week or ten days.

SIMPLY SELF PROTECTION.

According to 8 report which comes from Stockholm the press of Sweden have not given very enthusiastic re- ception of the agreement which has been arranged between the Swedish government and the United States re- garding the furnishing of that country with foodstuffs. This is unuuestion- ably because it places restrictions up- on the exportation of goods to Ger many. the very point upon which the whole matter has hinged.
 From the very beginning of the war Sweden has been carrying on a profit able trade with Germany and it's. al- lies. It has been furnishing them the supplies which they were unable to provide themselves and which they could gather either in Sweden or else where. They have of course been get ting war prices therefore and of course certain amount of imports in re- turn.
 As far as Sweden's own goods were concerned this country had nothing to say. When, however. goods which were purchased in this country. either directly or indirectly, were transship- ped into Germany, or Swedish supplies were exported there because theil equivalent was obtained for use 1T Sweden from this country. 1t is per. fectiy apparent that American good: were being used for the assistance O an enemy of this country. It woult 1 be folly to suppose that the United States would tolerate any such practice The agreement which has been en | tered into is therefore the result 0 the insistence on the part of this gov l ernment that such trade must b | stopped. We do not aim to handical Swedish trade only as it is necessar, l to insure our own protection, whicl
 Sweden must realize if it looks tn
 matter squarely in the face
