-ETTERS TO THE EDITol
 christ's Second Con,ina

Mr. Editor What of the future? Are we on the threshold of new ca, or will the world continue. on as in the years of the past? Many be- leve we are living in the close of the Gentle or Christian age and that Christ will soon come as a visible world ruler Any beliefs of this nature must have exceeding good ground on which to rest for, like the boy guard ing sheep, who repeatedly called men to his aid against imaginary wolves, was at last left without help, when the wolves really attacked his sheep, because of his deception. so may people have become indifferent to the subject and inclined to ridicule any reference made to Christ's second coming, referring to the many dates set for that event which failed to materialize. What then are the dearest and most forecful arguments, supported by existing conditions which favor the view of Christ's near ad- vent. First we might take the spread and advance of the human family since the Bible record of Adams cre- ation 1920 years ago.. Starting in cen tral Asia the birthplace and; cradle of man, westward the course of em- pire has taken it's way until now the vanguard of western pro- gross and civilization, has come into conflict with the inhabitants of that eastern country from whence it start- ed.

A sTITcH IN TIME.

It was only short time ago that it was announee1 :nlathe British parlia- ment that Great Britain had gone its limit in contributions to the anti bol- sevt6 forces, that it's financial con- dition made it impossible. to do more than it was doing and that, decrea sins rather than increasing help. must be expected. It was also opposed to sending any. achievements to the arr my of the northwest or to contribute to the support of the operations in that region. That such an attitude had any particular part in the defeat of General Yudeniteh's forces is not claimed, but it is interesting to note that as. the result Of the, success of the bolsEevik armies in southern Russia Great Britain now sees the necessity of going to the protection of it's own interests. This is,zfor the time be- ing being. done by.sthes sdespatching of WarshIps to the Black sea.
 From Paris comes word to the effect that, vigorous. action is planned by the British iin the Caucasus Directly at stake are the oil field in the Caspian region. The importance of keeping those out of the hands of the bolshe- wiki is. evident, |. but ip view of the manner in which the soviet forces have pushed back the opponents and are threatening Persia and India it is plain that Great Britain believes, in the wisdom of putting as prompt a check to such\ operations. as are pos sible and certainty there is no better line on which to fight it, out than that afforded by the mountain range in that locality ,s
 How far the. bolsheviki intend tc continue toward the southeast has moi been indicated except by their an- aouneed determiration to reach out their influence to the whole world. Ii is to be inferred therefore that the sending of warships by the British tc the Black sea is to be regarded as a stitch in time that will save nine later on.

ROAD IMPROVEMENTS.

From all indications much import ant highway work is to be carried on in this part of the state during the present year. Highway Commissioner Bennett has already set in motion the large contract in New London county that will mean the completion of an improved road between Norwich and Westerly, opening up a section that has been in need d such attention for a long period, and in another part of the county through the calling of bids for the improvement of the Hartford New London turnpike by. way of Col chester it is indicated that a much larger project is to be undertaken. When completed these roads are going to be of immense value not only to through travel between the larger center but to all of the smaller points and the farm owners along the way.
 In both instances contribution is made to the shortening of the dis tance between Hartford and Westerly and the elimination of road which in the past have been shunned more than they have been used. Hartford already has fine road to the shore on the west bank of the Connecticut By the concrete road to New London it will be in closer touch with south
 eastern Connecticut but by the Col chester Norwich Westerly road it will have the most direct line to Watch Hill and beyond for with the compile ton of the road to Colchester. on the New London road there will then re- main only a stretch of a few miles above Bozrahville which is not inn proved. --.l-
 Unfortunately it is not a concrete road that is indicated between Col. chester and Norwich but even though such a permanent highway is not pos sible now it is gratifying to learn that there is . probability that the unim- proved section of that road will get carly attention. It is needed by the users of that highway and it is neces- sary to the completion of the i'm proved road in the most direct line between Hartford and Wsterly.

sALuTINe HERMAN nAe

Ever those who must respect the order of the British admiralty to the effect that irasmuch as peace has teen restored the German national flag must be saluted are of course go- ing to obey for time with lot of mental reservation. But it is only what must come in the natural course of events and the reestablishment of that relationship between Great Brit ain and Germany is only what must take place between the allied nations and the central powers generally. When peace has actually been ar- ranged and the treaty ratified the same thing will be required of Amer jeans in keeping with the regulations.
 With the establishment of peace the war will be over. Germany and its allies have been defeated and made to take their medicine. A new order of things has replaced the old and it IS relationship with the new that must govern the future even though 1t win not be possible to forget the past. -,
 Possibly it win be easier for the allies to salute fallen foe, regardless of the acts and conduct of the old government, than 1t wills be for the defeated central powers to do like wise since our salute is that of vic tory and their salute is that of de- feat, but the first few years will be the hardest. After that it will be- come a matter of form.

TRAIN CONTROL.

Because Of the large number of lives that have been lost through the fail ure of the human element in the op- eration of trains need has existed for Q long time for some automatic train control that would work even if the eneineman slept. failed to see warn ing signals or from any cause did not have his train in control in accord with the signals. e
 Many minds have been at work on automatic train stops. Large induce ments have been held out by certain roads for an acceptable device and on many systems has it been seen where such an arrangement would have pre- vneted wrecks and death It is not the only thing lacking to bring about the greatest degree Of safety in pas senger service but if win prove a val uable contribution when such mechan- ism is invested that will meet the re- quirements
 It is interesting to note in this con- nection that the committee named by the United States railroad administra- tion for the purpose of Investigating the automatic train control reports af- ter years work that on lines of heavy traffic such device Is desira ble and that it has inspected 37 de- vices in one form or another and plans and specifications for 300, but further actual tests will be necessary before the relative merits of the devices can ce determined Whatever the type, however. it has been agreed that i. should supplment the establishment of the block system.
 The committee calls attention to the fact that the automatic control would have bearing on less than six per cent. of tho fatalities, but certainly that number is worth considering. and if they can be prevented it will mean that some of the worst railroad wrecks will De avoided. Every step ir behalf of greater safety is to be de sired. Every protection that will put a check on careless operation is to be encouraged.

after so many years of effort on the part of explorers, any further dis coverieS corporations of magnitude must be directed to other planets. The navigation of the air, with the under sea craft fulfillss the dreams of ages. With the question of supremacy. set tied nothing remains to be accomp- ished on .Ahis sphere, but, the develop ment of it's resources and the beauti- flying of its surface rendering com fort and happiness to all. The con sunmatingS of this task is reserved for the millennial age under the per sonal and visible reign of Jesus Christ, as represented by the great agricult- ural and structural pojects undertak- en and during the peaceful and glori- ous reign of Solomon. which followed the years of strife and warfare of sub jugat1on conducted by King David his father as type of the present disturbed age of the world. All the prophets have testified to this order. Isaiah, probably with the greatest att tention to detail for he says Out of Zion shall go forth the law. and the and He shall judge among the nations, and shall rebuke many people and they shall beat their swords into plowshares and their spears into prun- ing hooks; nation shall not life up sword against nation, neither shall they learn war any more Is 2.S, A..
 The wolf and the lamb shall feed gether and the lion shall eat straw like the bullock.
 They shall not hut nor destroy in all my holy mountain, for the earth shall be full of the knowledge of the Lord as the waters cover the sea. Is. 11:9.
 The angel Gabriel, when announcing to Mary, that she. was chosen by God to be the mother of Christ, said, He shall be great and Shall be called the Son of the Highest and the Lord God shall give until him the throne of his father David.
 This age of Christ's rule, is a thou sand year. period of time according to John in Revelations, which is liken- ed to th6 Sabbath day of rest and peace follwing the 5000 years of strife, and tumult which has been the worlds history since mans creation. As we are living within eighty years of the beginning the millennium So Christ must necessarily come some time within this period. As Scripture states there will be 8 time between Christ's coming for his church and the beginning of his reign on earth, if seems to be matter of conjecture tc get any. closer to the date of his com ing. This seems fairly certain that sometime during this present century

enemies. In the, year 1907 the gift Of tongues appeared among some earnest Christians, while in prayer, in the city of Los Angeles, Cal. The messages given through this manifestation. were that Jesus was coming soon and to get ready, also. that the world was entering the border of the geat trib- ulation that was to. come just prior to Christ's advent. Simultaneously the same gift, of tongues appeared in all parts of the world, giving out prac- tically khe same messages. continuing until the outbreak of the worldwar. Whatever the near future has in store they that are alive to the situation are awaiting with intense interest.
