TAXING DUTCH SHIPS.

In accordance with the rights which they have under international law the allied nations have decided to take over Dutch shipping which is now To- rated in their hariSors and amount ing 10 about a million tons. This is being done following long period of negotiation with Holland in order to bring about a thorough understanding Degrading the matter and for the pur- apose of embarrassing that country as .little as possible.
 Although the discussion which has -been underway has seemed to have Occupied Q lot of unnecessary time. it rllas undoubtedly resulted in a better Understanding of the matter on the part Of Holland since there has been simc to convince that government and the owners of the vessels that they -rill be paid for and that the losses 'riii be replaced and that food cargoes restined for the Dutch will be allowed % leave this country.
 . Most of these ships have been idle for many months. The decision means That they will now be put into ser- vice for the benefit of the allied na- lions and thus serve to give relief which Is greatly needed while the shiphuiiding programme is being i'm proved.
 That Germany will proceed to bring additional pressure upon Holland be- cause of the action is to he expected, although it Is to be remembered that when Germany wants to handicap the enemy and neutrais it sinks the ships Instead of seizing and paying for them In this move, however, the consent of Holland was not necessary for the allies are proceeding under rights which they possess under such circumstances. but t is not to be overlooked that the allies are never theless playing fair with Holland, 8 matter to which German kultur never gives consideration.

A WISE REFORM.

The administration has apparently taken right about face on the mat ter Of giving congress q greater op- portunity to carry on it's responsibili- ties in connection with the conduct of the war This is disclosed by the an nouncement to the effect that instead of keeping congress at arms length the administration has decided to take it into it's confidence regarding the progress on war preparations and tho developments on the war front, and the extension of an invitation to the senate and house military committees to meet with the war council which course will De followed weekly hence forth.
 That this is the result or some Of the criticism which has been indulged in of late in congress and the effoyt to obtain certain legislation looking to more efficient direction Of war prep arations and activities is probable. Since snch has taken place it can be readily understood that it is far pref erable that congress should be taken into the confidence of the administra- tion and that branch of the govern ment given thorough understanding of the exact situation than to keep it in the dark and permit all sorts of rumors and reports, whether they are understood or not to raise havoc with what might otherwise be harmonious relations between the administration and congress.
 It has taken some time to bring about recognition of the wisdom of such move but the fact that it has come confirms the belief that it is the sound and sensible thing to do.

in this country and to make the peo- pie realize that in spite of what is be- ing done there is still a great oppor- tunity to do more. This does not necessarily mean that those who are naturally frugal and those. who are contributing to the savings which are being effected should make the entire denial which is necessary to cut down the consumption of sugar and food : stuffs, bat it does mean that there are many people who &res not doing their part. There are those who have given very little thought to food saving and there are those who. while they may be forced to do some curtaiiing, are not doing all they can towards reduc- ing waste. ~

TWO CAN PLAY rhE cAME.

When 1t comes to retaliation one side in the war can go as far as the other It is 6 game, however, which the allies have refrained from resort ing to whenever possible because of the acts of injustice and nnefcilessness which are bound to go herewith.
 But there are limits beyond which even the most tolerant are unwilling to go and that is apparently the posi- tion of the allies at the present time in determining to distribute German prisoners over areas which the enemy aircraft are subjecting to attack
 It was a long time before the Brit ish would resort to the bombing of unfortified places involving the lives of non -combatants. The persistence of the German conduct in this direc- tion aroused the people of the ceun- tries, which were feeling the effects of such savage warfare, to such a pitch that it was impossible for the allied governments to refuse to engage in reprisals which were of no direct n1ili- tary importance The result has been that German cities have been suffering as great if not greater losses from this kind of activity than the allies.
 In connection herewith in order to check the reprisals allied prisoners were distributed throughout German cities likely to be rafded. Germany proceeded thus to follow up one mis- take by making another for it is to he realized that the allies have Ger man prisoners which can be likewise treated even though they are reluctant to resort to such methods. When it comes to such tactics Germany has no advantage over it's opponents, bar ring of course the disposition.

EvERYoNE SHOULD sAvE.

In connection with the effort to firing about a,greater saving of food attention Is being called to the fact that the consumption of sugar in this country in the year just past averaged Ss pounds for each person. an in- crease of five pounds over the per capita consumption for the period of five years preceding 1917. It is also claimed that the country is showing about the same yearly percentage of increase in food consumption as 1t did before the war. and this Is contrasted with fhe fact that the decrease in food consumption among the British and French amounts to about 90 per cent.
 The purpose of such statements is To bring about the elimination of waste

. GERMAN, NOT YELLOW PERIL.

In connection with the idea of bringing Japan more actively into the great war. or with the plan of Japan to send an army into Siberia for the purpose of protecting the east against German domination and to assure peace in the future, it was to be ex- pected that Berlin would set up the cry Of the yellow peril for the effect which it would have upon this coun- try and the nations of Europe. This has been freely employed in the past 70 frighten and there is no inten- :ion on the part of Germany to let up on 1t now.
 As a matter of fact there is far less danger to be anticipated from any yellow peril than there is from the German peril That country has been and is continuing to do it's utmost to broaden it's empire and influence By the amount of territory which it has acquired from Russia and by the se- curing of Odessa and the Black Sea it boasts of the road being opened to India Germany has had its plans to this end for a long time. It intended to accomplish its object by means oi the Berlin to Bagdad railroad, but that being frustrated 1t now turns to other routes of which it has become pos sessed.
 The real danger therefore is that the German peril will become so firm iy rooted in the east that serious diff iiculties will be encountered in eradi- eating 1t unless it is undertaken now It Is a danger to Japan as well as tC the rest of the world and Japan is ir position to put a stop to it. but tho time to do 1t is TOW and not after Germany has got SO firmly settled there that the task would be manifold ly increased.

 In Norwich, the work Of enlisting men was earnestly entered upon, and most heatily responded to on the part of the citizens.
 The first nWar Meeting" was ealisd for Thursday morning, the 18th, in Apollo Hall upon the site of the pres ent J. E. Moore store, Water Street This meeting was for the purpose of adopting measures to fill tfp at once all military companies about fofming and to fit them out fer immediate . In the hastily summoned gathering service.
 the ability and patriotism of Norwich were fully represented, the narrator tells. and the keynote of popular act ion during the war was here struck.
 The chairman chosen was Hon. H.
 
 earnest speeches were made in further ance of the object of the meeting.
 It was a new role in which old and well known citizens were now to ap- pear. The interests and incidents of the exciting hour seemed to nerve all for high and generous action. There were eloquent words spoken at the gathering, but even more eloquent were the deeds done; and Mir. Dana writing in 1878, said: Those present remember now with feeling of pat riotic pride the revelations of that earliest assemblage which ruthless re- bellion had made necessary" Hon. John Breed, who was on the platform-a man Of prominence now remembered chiefly by the big Breed l building at the corner of Main Street and Washington Square, which bears his nan1e-was surrounded by those 1 of younger years and hustler strength | He came forward and said with characteristic emphasis and gravity l T had not intended to speak a word l here today; but the time has come when our c0lors have been assaiied I and these boys (allCding to those wi1c had volunteered) have gone to set 1 to it!
