THE CASUALTY LISTS,

There is little wonder that there is complaint over the tardy manner in which the names of those who were killed, wounded. taken prisoners or who died of disease or are missing as the result of the participation of the United States forces in the war iii Europe, are being received.
 It is now almost three months since the fighting stopped At that time q low and entirely uniustified estimate vas made of the losses which had been sustained by the American troops. It has been necessary to in crease the number of casualties sev- eral times, but in spite If the fact that the war is over and there is not the activity in the movement of troops to the front and no such con- fusion as is bound to accompany the fighting there are tens of thousands about whom nothing is known. The casualty lists are much less each day than they were while the fighting was going on. It has ever been claimed that the checking up has been com pleted so that those on the casualty list are known but as vet they have not been made public and from the rate of progress being made at the present time it may be another month before the casualty list, involving those who were in action, will be known.
 It was to be expected that there would be mistakes. errors of one kind CT another. for under battlefield and encampment conditions with millions involved that would be natural, but it is an astonishing statement which is now made to the effect that there are 10000 Americans who 'went to Flu rope who are missing and no one knows how or why. This does not in- | clude those who were taken prisoners This indicates a bad bUng1e some

THE NAVAL PROGRAMME,

This was not because he set forth any new evs in regard to 1t because what fs had 70 say in the message was not revealed. He had previously endorsed ,ls rlan for increasing the navy in Accordance with the recommendations ot the navy department. and there ea- be little question but what senti- rlsnt IS generally in favor of increas- ing our navy to the point where it can give this country with It's long sea- coasts the protection that it requires. This feeling exists regardless of par 'v lines for we have had 8 lesson in lack of preparedness and there is eY- cry reason why We should take care -cr our first line of defense and see that it is what 1t should be until there Is something tauglble to convince US that the money could be spent safely and more wisely some other way.

It is impossible not to appreciate the increasing warmth of the delight ful winter sunshine.
 It was a wise decisicn among those textile workers who decided 10 manu- facture cloth instead Of trouble.

A BAD MOVE,

In connection with the labor trou- iles which are taking place rot only Tn this country but in Great Britain 2nd elsewhere one of the regrettable things is the growing disregard for the organizations oe which the strik inE employees. or the employes who are making demands for more money Or less hours. are members.
 All control by the union leaders has rot been lost, since it is shown that thelr advice has been followed in many instances where the employer have indicated their willingness tc make concessions. but it Is q serious situation when it is declared that em , ployes have broken away from theiI local and national labor unions and are determined to invoke the help ot such dangerous agitators as those tc be found among the I. W. W.
 It is well known what methods are employed by such an element. wha- trouble has been caused where theil 4Bfiuence haz even for short time been allowed to get control and how all reason Is cast to the winds by the insistence with which they set forti their demands.
 How long strike can be main, tained with such division among iht forces of labor remains to be seen. I can hardly be believed that the fail minded will submit to any sucl throwing down of the trade uniOr heads, or those selected to carry ol their negotiations When there ST those who enlist the aid of the I. " ". they simply show the desperation of their cause and make it eviden that they are rot go'rg to be gov erned by right or reason. It is backward and pei ilous step which will not improve -ondii!ons and ough to be vigorously repudiated.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR
Extremes Meat.

Mir. Editor: Queer things are oc- curing in Hartford these days. Our legislative senate the other day broke the national record by turning down the prohibition amendment. We pre- sume this to have been done in the in- terest of the rum traffic and to per petuate the drink habit of cur popula- ton. A few days previous to this Hartford merchant filed a petition in he sWears $S.23S is unsecured, and that $2 524 outstanding agalns+ him should be raid by others" (That is his language.) Of this outstanding in debtedness cne item is q liquor bill contracted during the year 1918, for $1 300. Another a beer bill of $500. and a lesser one for cigars $370, bought and smoked during the year 1918. The man declares that he has five pieces of real estate amounting to $4S,f00, but mostly mortgaged to it's utmost value. This he files making out that he has not money enough even to pay the filing fee" Singularly enough, his rs5idence Is on Prospect l avenue which would seem to be a ] very bad prospect for his creditors l This information appears In the Hart 1 ford Courant and was not printed as an exceptional case, nor to point a | moral. What we desire to use it for 1 is to show low dead our legislators are to the bad effects on legitimate | business, as a result of the liquor traf- <. 7c, and to tl.a personal damage sus- l tained by Q single individual who finds | himself caught in the net of the drink 1 habit.
 It can't bo a far cry from this citizens failure to the licensed bar at which he has practiced during one | year-and if this debt of $500 was contracted at enc bar-as wa may pre-. 1 sIlme it was. how can the proprie- 1 tor of that bar stand one such GUS 1 toner's patronage?

there can be no question but what the United States is anxious to zee that they are given proper treatment, sup piled with a proper government and protected in their rights but it has not been at war with Turkey and even if it had it does not want to take a hand in the directing of affairs in Europe or Asia, or for that matter Africa. There Is no reason to believe that there is demand anywhere near unanimous for the United States to undertake such worK. for it is known that there is a feeling that we have had no experience in dealing with the problems of government in that part of the world, but even if we had had we have no desire to and are in fact unwilling to enter upon such work, though our interest in seeing that justice is done there will not abate.

THAT SUITCASE
