 The usual raids by visiting goshawks are reported but the three species of buteous now covering their trios of in cubated eggs have taken no tribute for their services in keeping down red squirrels, chipmunlks meadow mice and moles. Foxes are often seen, and one old vixen with pups killed and partly decoured Mrs. Rawson's finest laying hen turkey.
 April 5th was an early record for the three male orioles which came to- gether, f1uttering, romping and eating flies and petals of blossoms in small natural fruit apple tree on Fremont St., Putnam. The females appeared as usual a few days later and mated at once on their arrival. A hummer ap- peared in this tree on the sixth of May and is an early record. There are few tree swallows this year, but more barn swallows. There is a most noticeable increase in song sparrows. Flickers cannot breed in the Townshend barn this season as the haymows which shielded their holes have been taken away.

THE LESSON OF MOBILE,

Another southern city, Mobile, has experienced the efforts of disastrous fire by which 200 buildings were de- stroyed, t50o people made homeless and property damage of from three quarters to a million dollars caused. It was much the same kind of fire
 that swept through Atlanta a few years ago leaving q great expanse of rain in its wake before it could be
 checked.
 Mobiles fire swept away the older
 residence section where there were
 few modern buildings, but it's business
 and industrial districts were threat
 ened and it was only by hard fight
 that they were saved.
 This city, like others that have eX- perienced similar trouble, will take advantage without doubt of the op- portunity to rebuilt the devastated section on modern lines but it comes at an unfortunate time for such oper- atlons and what makes it all the worse is that it might have been prevented by the exercise of due care.
 This like many other fires started ir q pile of rubbish in the rear of store ' "HNli ion which is very apt to exist ! unless the proper attention is given tc e.i.nInatinE such hazards. Where in- hammable material is allowed to ac- cumulate it offers the best possible
 makings for a fire. Once it gets start
 ed with wooden buildings to prey up- on and a good wind to fan it it means suffering and hardships if not many deaths.
 But the fact remains nevertheless that there are many cities no doubt where just such conditions exist where the danger of such lack of pre- caution is realized regarding someone else but where the lesson is not 1 brought home until something like what happened in Mobile occurs.

COL. CHARLES w. GALE.

Not in a long period of time has Norwich experienced a loss that has called for such a widespread express sion of sincere regret as that caused by the sudden taking away of Colonel Charles W. Gale. He was -one of the community's leading citizens, q man highly honored and respected by all classes and one whose place in the community and in the hearts of the people will he most difficult to fill.
 To a man that is big enough for a community to mourn and remember there are two sides. his public side and his personal side, For half cen tury Colonel Gale was identified with the financial and business interests of thc city and it was the open and con- scientious manner in which he ad- ministered his duties. the spirit of fairness and right that was always displayed and his cordial and demo cratic nature that won for him the es- teem of all with whom he had deal- ings. His enthusiasm in public under takings was inspiring, his efforts re- lentless and his leadership the kind that obtains results. He had the God given faculty of being a man among men.
 And what he was publicly he was likewise personally Faithful and true 10 every duty. considerate and broad minded, his was a noble. generous sympathetic nature that is too wei known by those among whom he lived and associated to need dilation here but all too rarely is community blessed with such a personality.
 Norwich has sustained a loss that will be realized more and more as time goes on but none could hope fol a greater monument than that which he has builded in the honor and es- timation of his fellowmen.

THE PROTEST OF THE JEWS.

There can be no wonder that the Jews in many cities of this country are adopting or have adopted resolu- tions calling upon this country, the president or the peace delegation at Paris to take steps that will help to put an end to the horrible massa- cres of Jews in Europe with partic- ular reference to Poland, Russia and Rumania.
 The frightful treatment which they have suffered in that part of the world is nothing new. but in view of the efforts to bring about improved conditions, to make the world safe for democracy and to relieve the oppress ed it is certainly time that attention was given to this matter. The high ideals that have been put forth will never be attained until an end is put to such treatment of the Jews, or any other people.
 The Jews are asking for no rights that ought not to be accorded to other human beings. but th TO justified ii. the effort they arc :-- Y to see that the barbarism that has been prac- ticed upon the Jews be halted. It is a curious situation when the allied na- tions have been fighting to put an end to such frightfulness as has been practiced to have those who have been helped and released from sbondage turn upon the Jews simply because , they are Jews. Because certain Jews may have sided with the bolsheviki or other dangerous elements does not f6ot oil of n ,1d t1ot many should not be made to pay the penalty that the few deserve. The Jews are justified in protesting against the treatment they have re l ceived and when it comes to getting | justice for humanity there is certainly an excellent opportunity for putting forth some timely work in their be- l half,

THE BUDGET SYSTEM.

For a number of years there has been a clamor'for a budget system in connection with the conduct of na- tional business. It is q system that has been found indispensable in town. city and state affairs and certainly it is as important, if not rrore so. that it should be adopted in connection with the federal government.
 In spite of the evidence that has been presented in behalf of such | sys- tenn and the revelations concerning the manner ir which the business of the government is being conducted under present methods, it has never been possible to bring it about. It certainly is a matter which ought not to be made a political football fo. it Is step the wisdom Of which those Of one party can appreciate as well as those of the other if attention is but concentrated upon the importance Of giving the government a business like administration. It has certainly been urged long enough to get the se- rious consideration that it deserves
 There is evidence, however. that some progress is being made and it will hc kept before congress as one of the necessary acts of this session. Ger tainly when other establishments are being made it is time that this mat ter should get the attention that will eliminate deplorabe condition. It is nc argument that because the present Wr'hod has bcen in effect for so many +ears that there should be no change lust -impiE means the continuation of what is known to he unsatisfac- tory With both parties favoring J budget the republicans including it is their programme for the session and inc president recommending it in his message desired results ought to be obtained from the 66th congress.
