LETTERS TO THE EDITOR
Norwich Visitors in San Francisco.

'iNofWiCn VISITORS IN San FRANCISCO.
Mr.. Editor:-San Francisco was
visited by two daughters of Norwich,
two weeks ago. They came and went
and left pleasing memories of their
brief stay and many recollections of
the passed away Norwich times-The
Misses. Nellie and Mary McCloud, on
their way north from San Diego to
Bremerton, Washington. They were
here from Tuesday until Saturday. To
their many friends at home / will say
Miss Mary McCloud is resaining her
health and is ranjdly on the road to
recovering from ! Re strenuous activi-
ties OF her calling at the United States
Hospital at Bremerton. Like all child
rem of Norwich, who eat and sleep
elsewhere, we talked in our waking
hours of and lived in the Rose of New
England. We walked up Washington
Street and down } radway, we crossed
the bridge to Laurel Hill. visited Pres
ton and the West Side and journeyed to
Norwich Town and Yantic.
We called to mind many who were
and we whispered low words of greet
ing lest we disturb their gentle sleep
in the cemeteries at either confines
of the town. Memory is the kindest,
saddest. most rapid and lasting of all
faculties we possess and it obliterateS
years. annihilateS ! &c and brings to
our eyes and. minds, our friends and

There is no gasoline for private au-
tomobiles and alcohol is used for

Soldiers of the Red Army COM
mandeer the peasants stores of grain
and food, give them ridicuiously
small prices in payment and then
sell the food at huge profits. Often
they visit houses on the preteSt of
searching for arms, take what valu-
ables they can find and sell them in
the streets. They loot, rob and even
murder anyone daring to say a word
against them.
The slightest offense in the army is
now punished by death but when the
Red soldiers are not on duty they
seem to be able to do as they like
with irnpunity. Most of the civilians
who have been modified into the
army are disconnected and are await
ing the first oportunity of turning
against the Bolsheviki.
There is no protection for foreign
ers. A decree was recently published
declaring there were no longer any
foreigners and that everyone living in
Russia henceforth would be deemed
Russian and have to submit to Boil
shevik rule. Paper money to the face
value OF 100000 ruioles is printed
daily. Only two newspapers art per
mitted to be published. The Soviet
News and the Soldiers Truth.

MEMORIAL DAY INTEREST,

What inroads time is making in the
ranks Of the Grand Army, the boys
who fought so nobly and valiantly
over half century ago for the Union,
IS more and more emphasized every
year. As the ranks are being depict
cd there has been more or less con-
Germ on their part lest Memorial day
in the future should be gradually neg
lected. To them as well as others
Memorial day is one of unusual sig
nlAcance, and it can be appreciated
that they are deeply interested in the
attention IT will receive IN the DAYS to
come.
But 1t is quite apparent that even
though there had been the fear a few
years ago that interest might wane as
the number Of Civil war veterans
grows rapidly less such need not be
the case any longer. Not only are
there the Sons of Veterans and the
Spanish War Veterans. but there are
the millions who saw service in the
army and navy in the recent war who
are going to see. through the Ameri-
can Legion, that interest does not lag
in this respect. To great many
more people than ever before has Me-
mortal day taken on a new meaning
The recent war has served to enliver
the interest and nothing is more GER
tain that it will receive the interest
and attention that it so justly de-
serves.

WILL HE SEEK A THIRD TERM?

For some time there has been desire
to know whether the president is ambi-
tious TO run for third term. Prece-
dent is OF course against such thing
but President Wilson has shown his
disregard for presidents. In fact he
has seemed 10 take delight in not fol-
lowing them as is shown by many OF
the things that he has done.
In connection with the presidents
remarks at the dinner in Paris in
honor of the newly elected president
of Brazil, when he said that he was
pleased that his own presidency was
no. ahead OF him, there are those who
have been inclined to feel that he was
giving expression to his attitude re-
Garding d third term. 1t is, however,
one of those cases which can be turn
ed in either direction. He doubtless IS
glad that the past six years are not
again confronting him. but he doesn't
necessarily declare therein that he
would not be willing or is not anxious
to continue in the presidency for four
more years after his present time.
President Wilson is a great handler OF
WOTuS DIS mas DeeH rSCoSnIzeu Oh
many occasions and it is to be noted
that he did not fatty declare that he
would adhere to the precedent that
Washington set or that he would be
glad when the fourth of March 1921
arrives that he may step down and
out OF the presidency. We must await
further statement before there can
be any assurance regarding his feel
ings on this.

RETAINING THE SHIPS.

Firmly holding to the decision that
has been reached to retain the Ger
man ships that were seized in the har-
boris Of this country at the declaration
of war is what the country expected.
The idea OF turning them into a pool
to be distributed among the allied ma
tons in accordance with the losses
sustained in shipping is no more right
than 1t would be to seek the pooling
of the German property of other char
acter seized in the various countries.
There can be no question but what
this country is going to realize an ad-
vantage as the result of this decision,
but is it any more than it deserves?
The United States did not go into the
war for what it could get out of it fl
nancially or territorially. 1t went in
to bring about justice and it will get
only very slight portion of the losses
that it has experienced.
The German ships would of course
come in handy for the other allied ma
tons just as they will for this coun-
try, but it should not be expected that
just because we have taken an altruis-
tic stand in all other respects that it
should be insisted upon in this re-
spect. We have used no unjust method
in getting the ships. In fact it was
through the skillful efforts of our
workmen, in overcoming the damage
done to these ships by the Germans
to render them useless, tn It they were
repaired and made service;.ble as soon
as they were. And though the ships
are the greatest thing in material
value that we will get out of the war,
they will only be drop in the bucket
when ii comes to making good the
losses We have suffered.

STORIES OF THE WAR

For months it has been the common

to Poland are open to the charge Of
being prstudiced, and it cannot be
maintained that all who have been
murdered were bolshevik leaders or
followers. II is not to be denied that
they are Jews among the bolshevisi
but that might be said Of not few OF
many races.
Poland has been the object of much
sympathy and no small amount of as
sistance in its. struggle to throw OF
the yoke of oppression. The allied ma
tons have been fighting for the rights
of those people and 1t Is most unfor-
tunate that when they are about to
enter upon a much brighter future
under their own guidance that there
should be such conduct permitted
against the Jews.
It would be far more to the credit
of Poland and the Polish goTernment
if it would set forth its determine
ton to put an end to the pogrons, to
see that those who are responsible for
them within its boundaries are prop
erly and promptly suppressed that all
law abiding citizens may receive fair
treatment That seems to be one Of
the great duties of that country at ths
