SUBMARINES AND AIRpLANEs.

During the recent war there has
been experienced the frightful results
Of employing certain agencies for the
terrorization and defeat of the enemy,
some of which had never been de-
veloped to such an extent as they
have been in the past few years ard
the use of some Of which it was sup
posed had been ruled against by The
agreement of nations. These included
the submarine, the airplane and the
poisonous gases.
No one looked for the submarine
to become the menace that it was dur
ing the war and though it failed to
accomplish its whole purpose in the
unrestricted warfare it Is such an
agency Of destruction that it is not
surprising that demands are being
made that the nations of the world
should agree to abolish it in all future
warfare. If promise of that kind
should be entered into by the
powers and it received no more
respect than Germany gave to
similar agreements it might Just
as well not be made, but certain
" if there is to be a move for the
abolition of the underwater boats
there cno1ot be overlooked the ter
rors caused by the use of poison gas
and the flying machines.
While the submarines have under.
gone tremendous development tho
same is likewise true of the airplanes
and in view Of the present day means
of navigating the air they are able Il
cause as great destruction as tn,
submarines If not greater and it il
but natural that there SHOULD be ;
demand for their exclusion from wa
activities, except possibly foc scout
ing and messenger purposes. as muci
as there is for the Punishment o

CHANCES

The outstanding centenary of the
year is the birth of Queen Victoria,
which occurred at Kensirgton Palace
On May q, 1919
It's celebration is not likely to be
neglected, fer there are many suryiv-
ors, outside the Royal circle, who re-
tain memories of ner wisdom and her
kindness. A couple Of score Of VIC
toTiaS all over the globe suggest that
the conmemoration will be world
wide, and the Australian Dominion that
bears her anne viii no doubt have
something 10 say OF the matter.
We very narrowly escaped having no
Queen Victoria. Her father, the Duke
OF Kent, wished her to be christenoi
Elizabeth, the Prince Regent wanted
Georgina, while the Tsar Alexander /,
who Tras sponsor, stipuIa ted for Alezan-
drina.
Then, the Princess was actually named
by the Archbishop Of Canterbury; Vic
toria being added as an after-thought.
| The question of a name remained open
! up TO her accession. IN 1893 William
| " approved Of the proposal to change
/ it to Charlotte, but the idea. much to
the Princess satisfaction. was aban-
! doned.
| Much has been said end written akou:
| President Wilson's smile ard it is
| certainly one Of those pleasing extern
/ alttieS which make for popularity, and
an early-visua Hzed impression. But
to the more careful observer, there is
! something more Impressive, and prob
ably more essentially characteristic
than the smile and that is the mask
or rather veil, of contemplation which
| now and then seems to shut him away
from his Immediate surroundings.
! 1t suggests the rare faculty of in
slant concentration, the power of de-
! tachment which may make a mar
alone with his own soul even in tbs
! midst of applause. It is this that some
! of US will recall in the days to come
rather than the smile of more univers-
al appeal.
Some tinnid people contemplated tn,
awful prospect of women combining
to return a feminine chosen ma orit!
to the House of Commons. Theoretic
ally, it is possible, for verv few sue
cessful candidates polled a large,
number of votes than the women il
the constituency might have cast hat
they all voted the same way.
Practically. of course, women hav
much the same prejudices as the NAL

ton why the Inspector" Il a man

few more lesser luminaries revolving
around the central orb at Hartford
add to the power and prestige of their

cure all that in some other way. The
gist of the matter seems TO he that if
the citizens of any town desire to re-
tain some shred of local self gov

registered at the polls may be defeat
ed by the use of the inspector. It is
sometimes nice to marypickfordize

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

Mr.. Editor: 1t will doubtless be
highly pleasing and interesting to the
thousands of warm admirers i'll CoE
to know that the notices of the state
and of the Roosevelt family are re-
markedly similar. The coincidence is
particularly striking as several prom
inent members Of the family reside in
this state. The motto of our state is:
"Qui Transtulit Sustinet" These La
tin words literally translated into En-
glish mean He who transpiants, sus-
tans," or more fully He who trans
planted, still sustains." The Roose-
welt family motto is "Qui Planta1 it
Curabit," meaning "He who has
planted will care for" or in an OK
tended form HE who has been pres
ent at the origin of anything is likely
to watch it most paiustallingiy
throughout its course" The persistent
nature of our worldwide lament ed
Colonel Roosevelt and the consistency
of his public career may now we'll be
understood. All honor and praise tc
cur noble and beloved Theodore
Roosevelt. He typiaed the highest
Americanism and very MANY people
considered him the most Yanari+a i23a
man in the world. May the nation
"lecp mis- memory green" bE pay ing
| him the highest honor. The move
rsent for a national memorial is wor-
thy of enthusiastic support.

THE OPPONENTS OF BoLsHEvIsm

administration to determine upon
q hat is going to be its policy in re-

10 operate the merchant marine, lease
the ships or sell them to the highest
bidders. AS long as conditions re-
main as they are, with no one know

10 be unsatisfactory. Thus far about
1he only action that has been recon-
mended by the shipping board is the
writing off Of Il billion dollars or
more in the cost of the ships which
have been built by the government,
thus placing this expense upon the
people who have furnished the money,
and through such a cutting off of the
cost of construction operate the ships
in competition with the other mer-
chant marines of the world.
It is a proposition about which the
country has not manifested a very
favorable attitude, but still there has
been no policy decided upon by the
