THE GERMAN SITUATION.

From such developments as have taken place in Germany, even though bloodshed had taken place, sindications point to the probability that the Ebert government will continue and that the sentiment of the. country is get ting back of it if it is not already there. Whether the Kapp revolt is any more than the political boyish prank that it has been dubbed can be fully substantiated before long but when. the Kapp2Luettwitz faction is unable to get the support of such important leaders as Hindenburg and certain important parts of the army supporting the established govern ment it gives strong indications that it has passed it's zenith and is fast waning.
 Everything points to the fact tha these leaders have simply taken ad vantage of the conditions that prevai to attempt their coup. They succeed. cd to surprising degree even as il was but they must have been disap. ! pointed in the response they received from the people and possibly in tn. strength that has been displayed by the Ebert Noske government Wher ] they promised to adhere to the treat, terms and attempted to arouse tn, sympathy of the. monarchists. anon; whom they were known to have beer numbered, they failed to get the hell i they expected. The withdrawal 0 the Ebert government to other point and the elimination of early bloodshe, served to keep down. the enmity bu nothing. more conclusive in the wa
 of satisfaction as to the gth o the Ebert government could hay
 been asked than it's refusal to dea with the rebels in their apparent eff fort to bring about a compromise.
 However much the government wa
 taken by surprise, there are ,indica
 tions that it is still supported by tn
 greater number, even though it ha
 not reached the degree of popularit
 that might be desired, and this dis
 plays the important fact that tn
 continuance of the republican gov ernment is desired. If as now indj
 cated the Kapp movement fails it wi
 show the inclination, that ought to | expected, to deal with governmer matters through the ballot ratht than by the sword.

AN ADDITION TO HARTFORD,

Newspapers are always furnishing surprises and such is the case with the Hartford Times new building now being erected. That enterprising newspaper has put forth something new in the way of a newspaper plant in the way of external appearance and it is certain to be winner, and the cause of far greater atten sion than had the building been erected along different 1ires.
 With the opportr7l'y presented to obtain the large pil1aes and other dis tinctive architectural features of the Madison Square rhue h in New Ycrll no time was los. n closing the deal. It meant a radical departure, but an opportunity to give the city and the newspaper such a valuable and beau tiful structure. in keeping with, the group of public buildings, among which it will be located, that it acted with good judgment In quickly clos ing the deal. It called for 8 deviation from set ideas but why shouldn't such an important public institution as a newspaper have an attractive as we'll as commercially adapted set ting. when such can be afforded and | such an opportunity to obtain it is providedi
 The Times is to be congratulated upon it's decision and upon it's new future home. It is happy in it's de- 1 cision that such is none too good for l a newspaper office. It win be a big contribution to the permanent arrki- tectural attractions of Hartford and
 like the paper 1t will come in for keen admiration.

be viewed with much concern in Nor wich is the notice in The Bulletin of the application to the superior court to be heard in New London. Friday, March 1s, at 10 a. m., authorizing Re- ceiver R. W. Perkins to discontinue the Norwich and Westerly division of the Shora. Line Electric Railway. Un- der cover the notice reads from Hall- vile to Pawcatuck. but it really means the whole line.
 Many who are in the habit of using the Norwich and Westerly trolleys arc surprised at the claim that the line
 does not pay The cars leaving
 Franklin square have seemed to be
 always full and at times Sun6av and
 holidars many have been compelled to
 stand clear to Westerly. and it would seem folly to discontinue this line al the beginning of the summer season at which time this line certainly paws
 a good profit.
 This proposition is matter that oui chamber of commerce should be inter ested in and investigate-for it is a | serious matter that one of our citv's 1 arteries is to be cut off. It affects the | stores, our peoples convenience ane | business in general, cutting off tht l towns to Westerly and the beaches

He does not consid- CT that such situation is created by the desire of number of individu- als to have the general assembly vote upon the federal suffrage amendment" I" The new republic feels that a special emergency" is at hand, and says in substance:
 "The suffragists of America have brought to a point of completion this colossal task of federal amendment. Thirty four states have ratified, but for all this amazing advance, the issue | has been narrowed down to hand | full of states controlled by the repub- | licans, and there they are meeting the 1 last ounce of resistance that can be made against ratification.

SAVE THIS TROLLEY LINE.

A letter on this page today deals w.b. the proposition to abandon the tr6uey line, known as the Norwich Westerly road. between Hs1lville and fawcatuck and well is such action looked upon as a serious matter not only for t6e towns through which it rups but torsboth Norwich and West
 That the line has been a money loser can hardly be doubted, but it nevertheless provides a service that should not be parted. with if there is any means of preventing. It means much to- thsse who want to get to the towns through witch it runs and likewise to Westerly and the shore and it is Of valuable service to the farmers in getting their milk to mar ket.
 With this line in existence the question Is how to prevent it from be ing abandoned. It isn't reasonable to expect that the company is going to maintain service at steady and sub stanfiai loss but rather than be de- rrivcd of the help from such an ar- tcry of travel it behooves Norwich cvsrS town that is served and every Interest that is concerned, to do their utmost 60 retain the service. No one expects to get something for nothing There must be a disposition to meet tho requirements fl the abandonment or the line is to be prevented through such a possibility as readjustment oi ratcs and schedule over that portior uf the line which has for so long beer a money loser.
 It would be most unfortunate to le this troileS-outiet from the city to tn, routheast disappear only to wake LII after % is gone to the realization O hat.has. been lost. If it can be re. talned it can be done at far less sac. rinco today than the reestablishmen of such a line would involve at som time in the future
 Having been notified of the desir to- abandon the line, and a hesrin, asked for Friday. the time is short hus ths need is great for Norwich Westerly and the other towns to walk up. and take immediate steps to retain lht service of this road.
