The Gocben and the Breslau.
(New York Sun)

In May, 1914, two months before ships the Goeben and the BresIau, flying the German colors, steamed up the Bosporus and dropped anchor off the Dohma Baghtcheh pier just be- low the Sultan's palace.
 Turkish officials began immediately to arouse great enthusiasm over the visitors. "Goeben days" and "Goeben fetes" were arranged and all Con- stantinople was asked to inspect the ships. So unusual was the welcome to these warships that it was ru- mored in the foreign quarters that the vessels had been bought by the Turkish Government. No one could have been more insistent in denials of this than EnVer Pasha, the only person who should actually know the facts of the case.
 The two ships remained at Con- stantinople, with the exception of the time that they attempted to break out into the Mediterranean, until the Turkish flag was substituted for the German and they were sent out to Lombard Russian ports
 The Goeben and the Breslau served no more definite purpose than to prove, what is now we'll known, that the Kaiser had been preparing for war and that he had completed the 1ntrigues that brought Turkey in as Germany's ally two months before his first declaration of hostilities.

I. K. TAKEN BACK
 BY REPUBLICANS
Prodigal Politician Grabbed As Leader to Fight Administration

Washington, Jan 24.-The Republi- cans have a leader and he is Theodore Roosevelt. Two days of conferences between Colonel Roosevelt and i'm portant leaders in Congress have in the opinion of observers, served to demonstrate this beyond serious ques- tion. It is the one outstanding feature in the interesting situation that has been brought about by the extraordin- ary developments of the last few days.
 If the enthusiastic comments Of some of the men who have attended these conferences, men who fought Colonel Roosevelt in the past, are any citerion, Colonel Rooseve1t's counsel in the critical days the country appears to be facing is to be a controlling one with the republicans in congress, and his voice is to be more potent than at any time since the split occurred six years ago. With remarkable un- . animity these leaders, appear to havo accepted Colonel Roosevelt's guidance and party plans are being shaped ae- cordingly.
 The opposition program is to be:
 To press for a speed up of the war programme.
 To engage only in constructive criti- ci3lu
 To get solidly behind the war eahi- net and munitions measures as t1sr best possible way for bringing about greater efficiency.
 To place from time to time as tho evidence warrants it and without mincing words the htIr.e for ltla,QS and shortcomings on the shoulders oe those members of the administrators whose dereIictions arc manifest.
 To show clearly that the party IS f"r a peace based only on complete vic tory.
 With his usual political porspioacity Colonel Roosevelt appears to have timed his visit to arrive exactly a. the right juncture, when the plans O. the republican opposition needed shaping to meet Q situation suddenly thrust upon the country and wheSs + was apparenment to all that it lack ing a leader who might has notice and direction in a critical hour.
 Any doubt which might have eN- isted as to the effect of the appear ance of Colonel Roosevelt at this time would seem to have been removed as a result of the gathering of republican congressional leaders at the home Of Nicholas Longworth, where the coA- onel is staying.
 The men who were present at this dinner from which portentous devel- opments have already enanated, were Senators Curtis (Kan), and Wads- worth (N. Y.,) and Representatives Gillett (Mass,,) Monden (Wyo''' Hicke (N. Y.,) Kahn (Cal") Fess (Ohio,) Lenroot (Wis.,) Madde ili.'} Greene (Vt.,) Greene Qowa) NC Kinley and McComick Qll.,) Ford nev (Mich.,) Anderson (Minn.,) Long vvor+h fOhio.l John King, member of inc renublican national committee from Connecticut, and MT. Hynicka of Cincinnati, member of the same body.

manager. Neither at that time dreamed of becoming members of the firm. Foe more than a year and a half they devoted the best of their mental and physical eneries to the welfare of the company and their success is reflected in the large clientele the Plainville branch now enjoys. Although forced to invade field heretofore covered by wide awake competitors, they built up a business of which their employer was proud and today they stand at the top of the list on equal footing with wholesale grocery companies in this territory.
 When MT. Cahili reached a deci- sion in his own mind to incorporate, he did not forget the faithfulness of the two men who had carried the Plainville branch along on their shoulders. They were invited to visit the Meriden office for the purpose of signing important papers and when they arrived they were greeted with the pleasant news that in the future they would be directors, each being presented with a block of stock com mensurcte with their efforts in the past. Friends of MT. Skelly and MT. Dyer who have learned of their good fortune and the recognition of their employer rejoice with them in their success.
 Both enjoy a large circle of ac- ouaintances and the confidence of the men and firms with which they do business.

peare, likewise. is no slip at all. Shakespeare speaks of the "seacoast of Bohemia" At that period in which the action of the play occur red Bohemia was a maritime power and had an extensive frontage not only upon one sea, but upon two seas.
 From recent popular novels and from stories in the magazines a great number of amazing blunders may be called. As:

 "A girl tore her eyes from the stage. but her ears still fingered"
 T will never speak to you again as long as I live" hissed Dolly. Just try to hiss it.
 "A roar Of silence followed"

 Like Adelia, he had dark brown hair, with enormous black eyebrows, a mustach and a short beard"
 ''Davidson stood wiping his wet neck on the piazza"
 What, therefore, was our sur in her bathrobe and slippers, with a cup of tea in her lap and her feet in a tub of water.''

 Literary Society Meeting.
 x The statement issued by A. E. Mag nell, chairman of the New Britain fire commission, regarding the proposed #meeeting with the Berlin committee, whish says that Berlin may lose the #sare protection afforded her by New Britain, has aroused much comment. At the meeting of the committees from Kensington and Berlin streeet ruesday evening, it was voted to ap- boint a committee which would con- Fer with the New Britain board, and hrrange for some means of protec- 8 on, as this would be the most ad-
 sable way until the town was di
 ded into fire districts. The state # ent by MT. Magnell would lead one
 believe that the New Britain board @ pes not care to meet the delegation # 'om Berlin, but members of the com-
 littee do not believe thls to be the 8 ase.,
 only a short time ago the local 2 oard of selectmen sent a letter to 2 le fire commissioners asking them to 2 leet in conference, and are awaiting
 reply. First Selectman Willard AL
 ng stated that the town of Berlin
 not, and would not be, liable for 3 ills which were not sanctioned by 2 le town. It is very evident, there @ ,re, that the bills will not be paid.
 he outcome of the question will be
 waited with a great deal of interest x " the residents of Berlin. In the KY vent of New Britain refusing to fur hish assistance to Berlin, the town x svou1d be placed in a serious position, md this would necessitate the imme- liate purchase of fire apparatus.

PEACE OFFICIALS UNDER
 CHARG ES.

The return yesterday afternoon by the Jefferson county grand jury ot Is indictments, four of which are against Constable Clint Green and four against Deputy Constable Jim Reld' inger, both of this (Vaugine) town ship, proved sensational sequel to a two days sitting of the inquisitorial body. The grand jury was summoned without publicity, and pursued its ln- vestigations in such manner that nothing leaked" out as to the specific nature of charges into which 1t was delving.
 The constable is charged with ac- cessory to bribery, before the fact and after the fact, with conspiracy and with nonfeasance. The deputy con stable is charged with conspiracy, with selling liquor, with bribery, and with nonfeasanve. Ed Daniels is charged in three indictments with selling liquor. The other two indict ments are against G. West Morgan and Clarence Farris, both being charged with selling liquor. All deny guilt, the constable and his deputy charging that the indictments are at tempts to "oust" them from office by persons they have offended through efforts to enforce the law.
 That laws have been violated wit! the acquiescence of officials has ire quently been charged; that some laws have been violated is evident to al with eyes to see. It is one thing, how ever, to feel morally certain that { law has been violated, and quite an other to be able to prove it to the sat isfaction of jury.
 Just as the law presumes an ac eused to be innocent until guilt be yond reasonable doubt is proved, 5, is it but fair to presume that the pro ceedings resulting in yesterdays in dictments were taken only in eonscien tious effort to enforce the laws, ant in this the public will stand with tn, prosecuting attorney and all othe Z officials who make determined effor to suppress law breakers.
Pine Bluff daily graphic., 1918-01-02

The only way for the public to SC cure enforcement of the laws is to in sist upon officials doing their duty and to support those officials in theil efforts to prevent crime.
 Whether the constable and his dep uty are guilty is a question for jury to decide If they are not guilty they should be fully exonerated; if they are guilty they should be punished-just as every other offender should be pun ished.
 Only by meting out justice to all alike can proper respect be obtaInad for our laws and our courts.
