Let Them Sleep in France.
(PrONidence Lournal.N


 There is now pending in the house of representatives a bill which pro poses that the sum of five million dol lars, or so much thereof as may be required shall be appropriated for the purpose of removing to this country the remains of any American soldier sailor or marine now buried in Eu- rope, and delivering the remains to the parents. nearest relative or other per son entitled by law to take charge of them. The secretary of War is author izd and directed to make all necessary arrangements under the act.
 The motive of this legislation is nat ural, but it will appear ,o most Amer jeans, we feel sure. that the proposal is a mistake. It will be far better tO let our boys lie where they are, far more desirable than to attempt to bring them, or any considerable mum Der of them, back to their home coun- try. It was in France or Flanders that they gave their lives for the cause of liberty: and their clustered monu- ments today are finer emorial than any we could build for them singlN in isolated cemeteries on this side Of the sea.
 Our cemeteries in Europe should be a bond of lasting affection between us and the people to whose aid we went in their hour of fearful peril. Coming generations in France will be continu ally reminded by them of what Ameri- can youth did for the salvation of the free nations Of the world in l914-lN. Let the remains of these heroic lads rest forever in French soil in the per petual care of their government, itS they are today.
 General Pershng faVors this course Theodore Roosevelt set a wise exam pie when he declined the suggestion that the body of his son should be re- moved to the United States. Our boys should sleep where they fell.

THE, "DRY' SIDE.

After decisions in Kentucky and Rhode Island to the effect that the Wartime Prohibition Act is uncoli- stitutional. we now find that three New York State judges have decided to the opposite. The score is thus three to two in favor of the "drys."
 Like the Rhode Island case, there was an injunction sought by the cers from interfering with the sale of drinks with an alcoholic content. Unlike the Rhode Island case, the judges agreed to the injunction.
 In arguments before the Supreme Court the question has yet to be de- cidcd, but we may expect a finding titude--what an individual may think of the merits of prohibition-there is undoubtedly a large field for argu- ment upon both. sides as to the con stitutionalty of the act. The findinS of the Rhode Island judge was worthy of attention. He made the point tha the federal amendme ent calls for pro- hibition one year after the ratification of the amendm cnt. This period of one year, he believes is to be allowed to take steps for the guarding against Joss in any sudden prohibition move. Therefore, the dry period is unwar- ranted, as the people would not have ratified had they realized that Wal time prohibition was going into effect before the time came for enforcemen ent of the amendment There was no wet period of one year preceding the dry period. Also, he doubts that Congress has the constitutional right to interfere with what he considers the rights of States until the time for the amendment has come. All of this is denied in the findings of the New York courts. What will the Supreme Court do?

Conditions Confronting Newspaper
 Publishers
(NeW York Herald )


 There is no eXaggeration in the as sertions made by manufa Cturers and by publishers in attendance upon the special meeting of the American Newspaper Publishers Association, held in this city on Wednesday, that the supply of newsprint in sight falls far short of the actual need as meas ured by present day demands. It is significant that representatives of the publishers, who have conducted an exhaustive investigation into the situation, agree that the responsibility for this shortage does not lie with the manufacturers of neWSprint. The manufa cturers assert that they are working their plants to full capa city. What has happened is that an unprecedented flow of advertising has sWamped the newspapers, large and small, while publishers have failed to apply the checks necessary for their own protection if, disaster is to be aNerted.
 In their resolutions, unanimously adopted, the members of the A. N. r. A. urge that publishers in all parts of the cOuntry-the publishers of small city, town and country news papers as we'll as those of the large cities materially increase adver- tising and subscription rates and at the same time limit the size of their issues" The limitation of the size of the neWspape is the chief desidera- ton, since that alone will contribute to the reduction in paper consump- ton which must be brought about if hundreds of the smaller papers in the country are not to find themselves unable to publish because of lack of the raw material for their finished product.
 The daily newspaper at. two cents and the Sunday newspaper at five cents are today the cheapest com modities which the public can pur- chase. Taking into account not only the high cost of neWsprint but also the very heavy increases in the cost of mechanical production which pub fishers have to meet. the price of newspapers is ridiculouSly low. Unless the radical reforms recom- mended by the A. N. r. A. are adopted by all newspaper publishers it is only a question of time when the pub lie will be compelled to pay ten cents for the large Sunday issues and per haps five-certainly three 1cents for
 
 predicted by the Herald some months ago. /, .>', ,.E"'
 The A. N. P. A. urges an increase in the selling price of neWspa pers. all along the line, but makes no specific recommendations in relation to the price of advertising. It advises against the practice of making yearly con- tracts for advertising, at a fixed rate proposing instead that all advertising rates be adjustable monthly or quar- terlN. And in urging that publishers limit the size of their issues it in effect advocates placing a limit upon the quantity of advertising to be carrled and upon the size of individual adVer- tiSementS. -.,..-.... ...

COMMUNICATED
In the Interest of Accuracy.

Editor of the Herald:
 In your issue Of Thursday, Novem- Der Is, in a conspicuous place un- der the striking caption, Local CIer- sy Would Send Men Overseas" it was stated that at the Senate Conference of Congregational Churches, at Mer- den the following reso lution was en- dorsed and sent to Washington:
 Tn view of the critical situation in Armenia caused by the withdrawal or British troops from the Caucasus and S1lcsia, we urge that the senate of the United States should take imme dlate and favorable action in sending American forces to helpless Armenia. which sections have no other hope but America"
 And then it was added that
 "ReN. G. M. Missirian, pastor of the stanley Memorial church: Rev. pr. G. w. C. Hill, of the South church, and Rev. H. W. Maier, Of the Center Congregational church, were at the conference and voted for the foreso- ing resolution"
 In respect of this latter statement permit me to say that Mr. Maier was not present at this particular session and so did not vote: that | was pres ent but did not vote, not, however,. because 1 was not in sympathy with the spirit of the resolution. !
 Very truly yours,

will bear with us while we explain. Here is, how it happened:
 The soda fountains are supplyirg drinks with eggs to those who have a healthier, more am bilious thirst, but may appease it not. Egg drinks arc fetching high prices and are, nevc"- thelcss, much in demand. They brin:; thirty cents at times. these concoc- tions of milk and eggs. and the con sequence is that the able is losing by the rise due to the increased demand. Egg drinks are luxury, but they are king our necessities more. The fountains will bid, if needs be, for the supply and may easily raise the price of the finished product to.cor- respond with the cost of the cgg
 To the straitened housewife NC offer little consolation: we have toll her the reason: the rem cdv is not in her hands. We sympathizc with her and miss our cake and goodies. But this is the tale of an egg And now, guess we'll go down to the drug store and get an egg and milk.

Trolley Fares.

Editor of the Herald:
 At the present time matters con- corning the new system of the troll ley, are not looking very bright, and many are of the opinion that it's carly demise will soon be made public, should the high rates continue
 In making the new rate, the Con- necticut company made a gross mis- take. It should have known from the first that the people would not stand for it. Had it made them a trihe lower there probably would have been no comment made on it. The people are not asking for something for nothing; they are willing to give for value received, and they will give no more.
 The new device for the securing of fares is a decided improvement over the old method, notwithstanding there is a possibility of many delays arising from it. However, what has been done can be done again. as the following goes to show: On en- tering an east bound car the other evc- ming we found it filled to it's utmost capacity, and allowing for several stops to drop passengers 10 say noth- ing of the time lost in making change

 However, a case of this kind might not happen again once out of a hun dred times. On the local lines there is no grounds for complaint, The regular fare still exists. you get a fairly good ride and what more can you expect, but there are some that would kick if the hangman's moose was adjusted around their neck.
 The life of a conductor or motor man is not bed of roses. They have heretofore had plenty of work to do: now they have still more. and should they sometimes have on a little srouch. no attention should be given 1t.
 And still they come. There is rumor going the rounds that JltneN service is about to be started between here and Hartford.

clear that to these low rates is due the volume of advertising that has necessitated large issues and has brought about the present inordinate drain upon the newsprint supply which has proved so costly to pub fishers and is responsible for the inn pending neWsprint shortage. In view of this shortage it is of vital impor- tance that all publishers take to heart and put into immediate effect the businesslike recommendations of the American Newspaper Publishers As SOciation.
