BRITISH RESPONSIBILITY

IL makes no difference how much the Sery thing that has been done with the German warships was advocated in England. or how strongly other na- lions believed that they should be disposed of in such a manner, it will e. impossible for the British admiral sy 10 escape the blame for the lax snethods which permitted such a thing e. take place.
 . The British were made the custod- flns of the fleet for the allied nations. 1-f1e vessels were gathered in Scapa Flow and 1t was known what little dependence could be placed upon the Germans in such matter. Yet these warships valued at hundreds of mill lions were left in German hands. The removal Of the explosives was a pre- caution that might have been expected but it is impossible to see how the perfectly apparent possibility that thpse who were left aboard the ships could do just what has been done canld have been overlooked. As far as Great Britain is concerned there may be no real sorrow over what has taken place. but it is impossible to regard it as a proper assumption Of the responsibility that was placed upon it. Having taken the ships in- 10 custody every possible precaution should have been taken to see that iAoy were preserved intact until the decision as to what was to be done with them had been reached.
 IL was the British admiralty that gave the Germans the chance to carry or their treacherous act. They made O. complete success of it and nothing copld stand out as more humiliatine to-the country with the greatest navy in the world. And in view of the strong British sentiment that has pre- vailed for just such disposition oi them it will not be surprising if there are those who will carry the notion whether justified or not, that there was no desire 10 prevent it.

In the senate, Lodge and La Follett are pulling together in double harness with ever indication Of brotherly love. In the house Long worth who predicted all sorts of dire disaster and made loud threats against the old timers having a finger in the pie, now is doing excellent team work alongside the men he so bitterly de- .nounced. Gillett is making an adj mirable speaker and the steering com mittee is steN'ing clear of all shoals. In the senate there is sure to be a split in both parties over the league of nations and the peace treaty but that will not affect other measures to be handled The republicans have already made good their promise to cut down expenses by lowering the ap- propriations nearly two million dollars from those asked for by the demo- cratis to over the same period of eX- penditure in 1919-1920 but which the republicans filibustered to prevent last session.

ToNIeHT's MASS MEETING.

There are not many things in which the entire population of a city is. or should be. more interested than it's system of schools. And just at the present time there is likewise a deep concern regarding permanent memor- ial for those who gave their lives and those who gave their service in behalf p( their country.
 I-The suggestion has been made and the way pointed out whereby the eff forts in behalf of these two mat tFrs might well be combined. IL is maintained that our school facilities are not all that they should he and that they should under go an improvement and that along with such a betterment there could be a suitable and lasting provision made for a serviceable memorial to the living as well as the dead heroes of .the war.
 Public interest cannot fail to be aroused in connection with the project 10 provide a junior high school and a soldiers and sailors memorial There at least should be disposition to con- sider the matter with open minds un- ii it is fully set forth It is a time when the people Of Norwich should find out what the condition of oul public school buildings is. what bene- ft would be secured through such g change as proposed, what increased interest could he expected to result from the attractions that would be provided for keeping many of the pu- pils in school longer than many o1 them are inclined 10 remain. at tho present time. The better the schoo system of the city the better the con- tributions to good citizenship.
 : lt is at least for the interests of tho sity to find out what the situation i. and what the possibilities are for i'm. Proving it The mass meeting in towr ball tonight is for the purpose of en. Tightening the people and the chanc, !o find out the merits of the proposi- lion ought not to be overlooked.

 president and chaplain step on the platform, and a sharp rap of the gavel brings the senate to it's feet while the chaplain makes a brief prayer, during which all doors to the chamber are closed. The prayer ended a tap of the gavel is heard and the routine work of the days begins. If there has i been recess and not adjournment from the previous day, there is no opening prayer but the work goes on as if a night had not intervened. One day not long ago the senate officials forgot it had been a recess. and the chaplain made the opening prayer, but scarcely had the Amen been uttered when a clerk discovered the error and the prayer was ordered stricken from
 the records as having been "out of i order" to the surprise and amusement of the galleries and the consternation
 of the chaplain.

CRASHING EXPERIMENTS

T tell you" said the woman who
 had been shopping, the girls who sell
 things across the counters to the rest of us must have lots of fur. It's wonder they can keep the wrinkles or their faces
 Why ~' asked her husband We'll said the lady who had been shopping, ''because they must laugh at us so much There I was at the fancy goods counter trying to find a knitting book full of sweaters, obliv- ious to my fellow women on either side of me. No matter how noble and sacrificing a woman is, she always regards every other woman surging through the stores as her natural born enemy.
 Therefore when the large lady at my right heaved a large sigh I was not disturbed. Her sorrows were her own However, when she burst into | exasperated speech I could not help hearing. She was demanding of the clerk to be told how to decide the 1 number of squares to crochet solid in the filet lace pattern shown her and | the clerk was not interested. So l ex- p1ained to her how to count the squares.
 | But that's a lot of trouble!" she
 said aggrievedly. Of course it is,
 said T. Any one who crochets filet 1 lace must expect trouble and heaps of 1 it!'
 Hal objected the exasperated one. | They've no business to make patterns | like this. The ideal

pgreater part of the people through a general utilization of more daylight and likewise an unwi1hngness to adapt themselves to the same conditions which have been found so beneficial in the countries of Europe. The farmers of Europe are resourceful enough so that they can get their work done when the clock is put ahead an hour and intensive farming is one of the things for which Europeans are noted.
 There is going to be plenty of time between now and next spring to think over this matter of daylight saving in all its phases. There will be plenty of reasons for reconsideration but whether it will take place remains to be seen. However, the experience of second summer under it's provisions and better understanding as to how to meet the situation may even bring about a different view on the part of the farmers.

The fight against the daylight saw ing law has been won by the oppo- nents of the law. When the time cDtnes to change the clocks back in the fall the law will go off the statute books. It will continue to be effective until that time but next summer. un- less there is a reconsideration of the matter in the meantime. it will not he resumed.

CROSSING BY pIRIGfBLE.

Though the date has been changed for the flight of the British dirigible from England to this country, it is not to be supposed that the trip has been abandoned. It has been found that the big airship can remain in the air for a period of 56 hours or nearly three and half times the period re- quired by Alcock and Brown in their airplane in crossing from Newfound land to Ireland so that there ought not to be any question but what it can easily cover the distance between England and Long Island.
 That the airplane and seaplane have made the trip reduces somewhat the interest in the coming flight by the di- rigible but there is nevertheless a de- sire to see what the big machine can do under the conditions that will be met in going from continent to con- tinent- It will be trip that will be made considerably slower than in the planes but 1t will be as important in the annals of dirigible development as [ the other accomplishments have been in connection with their particular type of flying machine.
 But for the unfortunate breaking away from it's moorings of the Ameri- can dirigible C-5, which had made an | impressive flight from Montauk Point to Newfoundland, it is entirely pos sible that that airship would have been the first to cross the Atlantic. Ii had shown that it was capable of sus- tained flight and that 1t could make good speed and even though making slower time than the seaplanes had it been possible to start it on it's way it is entirely possible. barring acci- dent on the way. that it would have reached Europe before the NC-4 Through misfortune the chance was missed and it now remains for the British dirigible to show what it car do.

lTALY'S CABINET CHANGE.

The fall of the Orlando cabinet in Italy came at a time when it was least expected from the outside. It was only a short time ago that he was given a strong vote of confidence on his re- turn to Italy from the peace confer ence after being unable to get through his programme regarding the Adriatic claims. Thus when he went back and asked that certain details be discuss ed at a secret session it might have been expected that he would have been supported. But such was not the case There were those who had all the time believed that Italy was asking toe much. There were conditions at home which had not improved as many thought they ought to and there were those who realized that he was not making headway with the peace con- ference. The result was that his sug- gestion was not approved. He was not given the vote of confidence that was required to keep the cabinet together and necessarily the resignation was bound to come.
 Now that Nitti has been asked by ti0 pieHileI to loiHl new So'elH-
 ment, the impression that the em- peror would not accept the Orlando resignation has been disproved. Nit
 is one of group of leading Italians who has favored a policy of modera- tion for Italy in the Adriatic. His se-
 lection to form the new cabinet there. | fore indicates that the new govern. ment will stand for a modified pro.
 gramme and will demand an early set.

 been under adjustment for loni l time, but it will remain to be seer what progress can be made at Pari.

 nal matters to be tackled.

OTHER VIEW POINTS

The manufacturers for the most part, of Waterbury, have more than fairly dealt with labor fairly during and since the war and undoubtedly would have continued to under the present stress of industrial recon struction. There are two sides to every argument and if some of the stories going the rounds today can be relied upon. some of the leaders at the bottom of the present strike are draw ing wages that the average man to- days would consider himself well off to be receiving. Such is usually the case with the leaders. Some may have been underpaid and we are confident
