it requires the services of eorty-six

forty-siX men must be trained
man if not, indeed, a mechanical ex-
pert. So for the two thousand, five
hundred airplanes in use, there must
be hundred and fifteen thousand
of these highly skilled men.
We are training tens of thousands
Of men in this country at this very
moment, but tens and thousands are
not many when one remembers the
secretary's figures. If we have the
size airplane fleet which we ought
to have, it would take five hundred
thousand of these skilled mechanics
and aviators-and that is something
more than matter of reading a list
of names and telling men to fall in.
1t is matter of time and money
and study. We are going to have
them; we are going to darken the
heavens with airplanes. But it can't
be done today or tomorrow, not
at all unless men capable of being
highly trained voluntarily enter the
service.

WHEATLESS MEALS AND DAYS
ARE NOW OPTIONAL IN
PRIVATE HOMES.

While private homes will not be
required to observe wheatless meals
and days, they will be required to
cut wheat consumption to about
one-half of normal. If this can be
done without entirely giving up
wheat at any meal, the Food Ad-
ministration will consider that its
program is being followed strictly to
the letter 1t is urging, however,
that those, whose circumstances and
requirements permit effect an even
greater reduction. 1t believes that
the imperative necessity for this
measure will be we'll understood
and that its request will receive
ready response from the people of
America.
The allowance of one and one
half pounds of wheat flour per per
son per week is considered reasoh-
able. Wheatless days and meals
must be strictly observed by all pub
lie eating places. The full light OF
publicity will be turned upon es-
tablisments violating this urgent re-
quest Of the Food Administration.
Federal Food Administrators have
been given telegraphic orders to en-
force the program by rigid inspec-
ton and investigation. Where vio-
; lations are reported, the administra-
tors are instructed to hold hearings
which must be open to the public
! and to the press. Virtually this
means that no violator, no matter
what the extenuating circumstances,
will be shielded by having his name
withheld from the newspapers.
Where violations are proved, the
administrators are urged to follow
Immediately with punitive measures,
the nature of which will be deter
mined in consultation with author,
ties at Washington.

PEACE AND LIGHT
And God said, let there be light,
and there was light.

And God said, let there be light,
and there was light
No doubt in His gracious time
Omnipotence will again speak; and
there will be peace, says the Port.
land Oregonian. But it will be no
peace, if right shall not triumph
and wrong foverer be cast into outer
darkness. There are those of little
faith who think that the right and
justice are, after all, mere words,
and only might can endure. If that
is so, bad cause has just as good
an opportunity to survive as Il good
cause. 1t is not true. 1t is a thought
which violates all the solemn prom
ises and sacred prophecies of Di-
vinity; and it runs counter to every
instinct of our common humanity.
So we now better, indeed.
But it is not always easy, when
one sees the steady progress Of
Brute Force, to keep an unwavering
faith. Surely, it is not part of
the Divine plan that the world be
given over to the wild beasts of
Kultur. Atrocity, murder, spoila-
ton, cruelty, and barbarism are
words which belong to the Devils
lexicon. They have been adopted
by Germany as its very own. Why
God suffers the Devil to live is
part of the Great Mystery. But so
it is. Just now his masquerade is
as the German kaiser.
On Easter day we heard much
about peace, but nothing now about
peace without victory or peace with
out honor. The world knows that
there can be no peace until Kultur
is slain in its citadels. There is q
world where there peace and good
will among men; and we are en-
Joined to seek it as the greatest
human inspiration. 1t is not an i'm
pious though that there can be no
good will toward raadmen. 1t may
not be necessary to hate the kaiser
and his minions, but it is necessary
to rid the world of them. Let US
have peace, indeed, but German
peace-never.
God give us peace! Not such as lulls
to sleep,
But sword on thigh, and brow
with purpose knit!
And let our ship of state to harbor
sweep.
Her ports all up, her battle LIANT
erns lit :..+ r..
And her leashed thunders gathering
for their leap. ~:

LIVELY TILT AT COUNCIL MEETING
Alderman Waters Motion Appropriating $75O City Treas mer For Clerk Hire Adopted by Vote of 6 to 5Mayor Brown Relnquishes Chair to Senior Alderman and Takes Decided Stand Against Appropriation- Alderman Dol beare Says Means Only $126 Increase For Clerk While Treasurer Benefits by $312

After, lively tilt between the re- publican and democratic factions of the court of common council, during which Mayor Allyn L. Brown, retn- quishing the chair, to Senior Alder man Guy B. Dolbeare took decided stand against a motion, made by Al derman Milo R. Waters, voting s750 a year to the city treasurer for clerk hire, the council, at ftsa March meet ing in the council chamber Monday. evening, adopted the motion by a vote of to 5. The republican side of the council, including Mayor Brpwn, voted in the negative, and tha democratic side voted in the affirmative.
 Mayor Brown and others of the re-. publican side of the council empha4- ica1ly stated that they we're not voting against an increase in salary for the young lady in the city treaSurerss of-a ice (Whom they said is vel lWarth the $750 year) but were voting against the motion as it means an unwaTranr- z ed increase for the city treasurer. Az Alderman Do1heare said the s7e0 ap- propriation means an increase of only SIPS for the treasurer's clerk, while the treasurer benefits by an increase of $312 year. v
 Up to the present time the treas- urers clerk has been receiving s12 a week. Six doilare of this has been paid by the city, out of the city treas ury, and the other $6 has been paid by the treasurer out of his own salary.
 The s750 appropriation made by the council Monday night means that the city will now pay all of fthe clerk $ salary, giving her an increase of sI2s a year, and that the city slirers will not have to pay out of his own pocket s6 a week towards the clerks remun- eration. This of course is just as good Rs $312 increase for the treasurer.
Norwich bulletin., 1918-03-05

was a large increase for the. treasurer and a very small increase for his clerk
 Councilman Crooks inquired as to whether there is money enough in the treasury to warrant the appropriation.
 Alderman Waters said he believed there was enough money appropriated last year to pay all salaries of the city and if not he intinated that the con- tingenti fund might be drawn on, al though he said he did not know how much money there was in the contin- gent fund.
 Councilman Crooks said he believed the matter ought to lay over until the close of the fiscal year. He said he would not be a party to the increase of the city treasurer's pay at the expense of the taxpayer. He felt that if the treasurer'si clerk is worth fifteen dol lars a week she ought to get it.
 Mayor Brown Takes Floor.
 Mayor Brown, at this point, relin- quished the chair to Senior Alderman Guy B. Dolbeare and took the floor Mayor Brown said the motion was un- called for. He said he felt very strong ly the worth of the young lady in the treasurer's office. It was because he recognized this fact that he recem- meQoed that her salary De made uI- 1 teen dollars a week last May. His recommendation was thrown down by the same gentlemen who were voting the increase now,
 The mayor said the matter was brought up in the council at g. timt when one republican member is 1T Washington and another found it i'm possible to attend the meeting. He was strongly, opposed to the motion and h. thought it ought to be left where it is
 It could be taken up later shen tn
 estimates are to be made. 1 Mayor Brown resumed the chair an, called for action on the motion. | Councilman Crooks offered al
 amendment making the appropriation effective June 1, 1918. His motion wa 1 lost for want of a second.
 The vote on the original motion wa then taken, the six democratic mem
