When this was known the com paratlvely wealthy peasants, who had secured the biggest share of the land raised the cry that the, old state of affairs was to be restored In some cases they stirred up the peasants to revolt and caused disturbances which had to be put down by force.

THE RED CROSS,

The membership campaign of the Red Cross is underway this week. Norwich is to be covered thoroughly in the effort to see that the present membership is maintained if not ex- ceeded and there are good reasons to believe that the result will be suc- cessful.
 Even before the war the people of this country were thoroughly in touch and sympathy with the objects for which this great organization was started. But tho war. throughout which it played such prominent part, served to demonstrate as nothing else could how invaluable such an organ ization is in dealing with suffering hu- manity. With the ending of the war the American Red Cross cannot fold its tent and quietly disappear until an- other struggle appears. on the hori- zon. There was work for 1t before the war and there will certainly be greater opportunities for it following the war. Wherever trouble, disaster or famine appears the Red Cross is to be found carrying on it's ministrations ir the same careful and thorough man. ner that the needs of the situation may be met as far as possible and re lief extended.
 To be identified with this organiza- tion even though it is only through membership is an honor. Working fol the cause of humanity. 1t should com mand tho support of all individual, and whatever the goal fixed ther' ought to be no difficulty, following thu service demonstrations that it hal given in the past several years, il reaching it in every community.
 Having stood, Loyalty by the Ret Cross in the past Norwich can be re lied upon to manifest its continued keen interest in aiding the work. Keel the good work going by renewing you membership or joining anew.

OTHER VIEW POINTS

Congress has been warned that the railroad fremen will not obey an order forbidding strike. It ought not to take a minute to decide what action to take.-Middletown Press.
 It is incontestable, however. that the trolley company must have more money. Although it is to be regretted that the company did not make the nickel basis for its new zone fare sys- tenn, and salthough the attitude of the public can hardly be eagerly expectant, the ma jority of the citizens are un- doubtedly willing to be shown that the company can establish a successful zone fare system that will bring in the 1 increased revenue needed. The system must not be condemned beforehand and must be given patient trial when i it comes.-Waterbury Republican.
 The board of aldermen in New York have voted unanimously for a daylight saving period in that city. A bill to the same end is to be introduced at i the special session of the Maine legis- lature soon to open. Towns and cities throughout New England are agitating the proposal. There should be prompt and concerted action in order that the clocks of this section of the country at least may be set uniformly forward
 next spring. It would be pity indeed

GERMANY MUST PAY.

When the German warships were gunk in Scapa Flow it was the expec- tntion of Germany to deprive the all lies of the important fleet of warships that 1t had been forced to surrender. It was a well carried out scheme though not so difficult to accomplish under the conditions that existed. It was as successful as could have been expected and more than bit humili attng to the British. Efforts have since resulted in the salvaging of cer- tain of the vessels but by no means all of them. so that the allies stood 10 lose much of what they had gained without battle. However, had the idea been carried out of sinking the ships it can still be contended by Germany that the same end is served though the honor of sending them tc the bottom rests with Germany in- stead of the allies. In other words Germany would have to a large ex- tent overcome the effects of the sur. render, even though it was carried ou
 only through breach of faith. 70
 Now the supreme council of tht peace conference has reached the de
 clsion that Germany must make goot for the ships that were sunk. Thi' cannot be done by replacing ship fol ship but the equivalent of the valua
 ton will be exacted. This must mak

RESPECTING RULES AND LAWS

When Samuel GomperS came back from Europe not so many weeks ago it was realized that there was plenty of work ahead of him. Influences were at work in the American Federation of Labor that were aimed at chang ing it to a radical organization either by getting control or by dominating it through the passiveness of the conser- vative element. And since reaching this country MT Gompers has found labor troubles piling up in all direc- tions. some with his sanction and some without it.
 What this has developed into is shown by the statement of an investi- gator of labor disputes in which it i: declared that of the 300 strikes in thi: country at the present time fully 9t per cent. of them are outlaw walkouts That means that they are without thu sanction of the national body and il many cases @ defiance of advice anC orders received therefrom. Many O these strikes have taken place re- gardless of existing contracts and ever though they are threatened with ex pulsion from the national body. ol have been expelled in some instances there continues the same disregard fo authority as there is manifested tn determination not to obey law and or l der.
 With the I. w. ". and other radica influences boring from within. tn American Federation. disregarding tn principles of the organization an threatening to sap its vitality, it is
 strange attitude that is taken by Nil Gomrers when he declares that h woul1 .efufe to advice the federation members to obey certain laws even af ter they were passed and had bee declared constitutional by the su preme court of the country. Thi would seem to be playing into u, hands of those who are at tho prescn time defying the laws of the Ameri can federation

PROTECTING CONSUMERS.

The very stand that was to be ex- pected is that which is taken by the government relative to the order for bidding the coal operators from charg- ing over a certain price for their pro- duct. It is to be expected that there will be drop in the amount of bitu- minous coal mined. It cannot very well be helped with hundreds of thousands of miners quitting. but it is to be real ized that from amounts on hand and that which is being taken out daily from the mines that are in opera ton the supply will not be cut off Be- cause of conditions the demands are heavy. Everyone using soft coal is trying to protect himself against the possibility of empty bins, and it is perfectly evident that curtailed pro- duction Is not going to provide the Tupply. Under such state of affairs, with more coal being sought than can be produced. the natural thing would be for a rise in price and while the operators might not be the only ones who would get the benefit of boosted prices they would share therein, and there is no telling where the stopping place would be.
 It is therefore time. right at the beginning, that the government should return to its war time policy. even though the war is not going on, of fix ing the maximum price at which coal can be sold. It is to be supposed that this will be fair to all concerned. that it will protect the users and that ii will also provide fair return for the operators. The need of it can be ap- preciated in forestalling the unscrupu- lous operators and the coal scalpers.
 What the government is doing ir connection with this strike is endeav- bring to avoid national disaster by protecting the miners who want tC work and seeing that industry, trans portation and business are not crip. pied. But while it is doing that i would be remiss in it's duty if it diC not guard against the profiteers wh' are ready 10 take advantage of such situation.

 The third modern aspect of mediae- val Riga is to be found in the famous Blackheads.' It was this body which soon came to have the civic import ance and apparently many of the functions, of chamber of commerce or board of trade today.
 Originally it was organized by the young traders who came to Riga as a social club, to afford fellowship in ad- dition to the needful board and lodg- ings during their sojourn. Since the | members were mostly young men, pro- gressive. and somewhat assertive, they took their name to distinguish them selves from their elders, or grey l boards Naturally their table talk | tuned tn ways of promoting business and soon the club became, in effect, ar organization for a Bigger.

OUR AlR SERVICE.

There are those who are inclined to view with alarm the attitude that has been manifested in congress in re- fusing to appropriate an additional sI5.0O0 900 for the aviation service of this country. This is of course on the ground that we never have been pre- pared as we should have been in the air, that regardless of the efforts made during the war we have not progress ed to the point where we should be, and without adequate funds to put this service where 1t belongs we are bound to be seriously handicapped in the protection of the country and the carrying out of any military service we may be called upon to render.
 It will be agreed that all of this is true but 1t will also have to be ad- mitted that we were in a very disad- vantageous position as to airplanes in Europe until our allies came sto our assistance with machines that would meet the requirements.
 Our weakness in this respect Is much the same now as it was then Big appropriations have been made but there is but little to show for them We have flying fields and trained avi- ators but there is little left with which 10 provide for the training oi many others or for the production and improvement of machines. Much o1 the work now is devoted to the mak- ing over of the machines which W; huvo and which need |;
 But the refusal to make the appro- priation sought for for the air ser. vice does not appear to result iron the idea that we are strong enough il that diI ection. No such mis-a. xe coUlC bo made Rather does II 'pelr tc l., consllei e6 that we have made iiz Kle cf aeronautics as .,t present car ried on and that there should be a de pertinent for that service by itself tt establish a proper air service policy to give the country what 1t needs il that direction and to properly guar expenditures before any moro none, or such a large sum of money is ap propriated for that purpose.

IN THE DAYS NEWS
Riga.


 He who thinks that vast monopo- lies are modern enterprises. or that chambers of commerce are latter day civic institutions, or that Prussians first strove to implant kultur with sword in 1914, will be disillusioned if he reads the history of Riga"
 This Statement is made in bulletin from the Washington headquarters of the Natioaeal Geographic Society re- lating 70 the Raltlc port where Ger mans Fow are seported to be attack ing the Sl.ettlsh occupants.
 Riga had to wrest itself free from Prussian control once before. and thereby hangs the story of an early exploit like the attempted subjugation of Belgium and the deportation of it's workers" the bulletin says.
 About tie middle of the twelfth century a few German merchants es- tablished settlements about the mouth of the Dvina, which empties into the Gulf of Riga nine miles below the present city of Riga Whereupon Bish- op Albert, in the role of a mission ary, sought to colonize the territory in 1201 by building town where Riga | now stands and the following year he i founded the Brethren of the Sword. 1 The new order was well named. It 1 killed where it could not convert though slaughter was not the main i object after <0thold on the prom ising Baltic porc was obtained. The missionaries were satisfied to reduce the native population to serfdom, ap- l propriate the land, and build fortified , towns and castles to uphold this min l iature feudal system in a land thf/ 1 timed to exploit.
 1 "But the Livonians are a liberty low l ing people. They resisted despotism then, and many times later, just as they rebel against Bolshevism today | When their early oppressors became too severe they arose, drove out the | missionaries and went in great num- bers to the Dvina. There they i'm mersed themselves again and sent the l waters back to Germany to show that they renounced the baptism imposed by the invaders. Later Livonia, and Riga, which became it's capital, es- poused the Christian religion; and the | Order of the Sword merged with the Teutonic Knights and continued its operations in other quarters.
 Though Prussia's political hold wa: shaken off Riga. it maintained its eco. homie ties there, and individual Ger mans usually have been importan factors in it's commerce. This phase O German influence was consummateC when Riga. in the thirteenth century
