DEALING WTH TuRkEY

Turkey is doing everything within it's power to get lenieney frcm the allied nations. There is some evil denee that it is meeting with a cer- tain amount of eneourag cement and that the reasons which have been ft'-- vanced for permitting Turka; to 1e- iaain in Europe and to keso control of Constd.tInople have male a fa- vorable impression. but such favor as it has been able to curry or such claims as it has been able to advance Fin it's own favor get precious little Consideration from those who are unable to overlook or forget the history of the terrible T-irk.
 Just at the present time much pressure is being brought to bear upon Great Britain regarding Turkey. Winston Churchill has for instance pointed out the army problems of the British, urged the necessity of estab- fishing a permanent peace, pointed out the fact that no progress has been made to that end in the past year. but urging that steps should not be taken which would drive the Turkish people to despair.
 There are others who are insisting ! that Turkey should be dealt with as it deserves, that the time has come when an end should be put to such a menace to the safety and peace in ,, that part of the world and to guard against any future trouble from such a source. Turkey has had plenty of warnings. Tn fact it has received so many of them without seeing them ! carried out that it has come to be- lieve that they were simply meant for home consumption and not to be i taken seriously.
 Pleading for one more chance will | simply mean the continuance of past conditions. Expedieney is what is causing some to favor leniency for
 Turkey, since there is fear of a holy war resulting if the Turks are
 driven out of Constantinople which will spread throughout the east. Holy
 wars have been threatened before and | it will be well to place no more ere | dence in such an outcome than is
 actually justified. It is a time when
 Turkey will try to magnify such a
 possibility to the last degree, espec.
 ially if it seems to impress.

RESTS WITH PRESIDENT.

With the same speed that action vas taken in the lower house of con- gress, the senate by even a larger rote passed the railroad bill and sent along for the signature of the president. Only that is now awaited o make 1t law to deal with the re- urn Of the roads the first of March
 Quite in accord with expectations Fas the action of the senate. Such shorts as were made by labor to block the passage of the measure proved Of no avail. and it could hard- ly have been expected that the sen ate would listen to any such pres sure in vie| of the fact that it had previously approved of the anti strike clause which has since been Eliminated from the bill.
 Labor stood it's best chance in the house but it was evident that the sell fsh motives back of it's efforts failed To impress that body when it came to Healing with this important piece of legislation Congress has apparently taken the view that the interests of En, not solely one class. had. to be taken into consideration.
 What effect the appeals of labor VIII have upon the president, to whom they are now being directed. is uncertain It is fully understood by him that the roads should go back and. in view Of his proclamation, that they go back next Monday morning Legislation to deal with that fact has been provided It Is not believed that it works any injustice upon the em- nloyes of the roads and there has been no evidence that there has been any opposition on the part of the ad- ministration TO the features of the bill. Tn view of such circumstances it cannot be believed that the presi dent will be disposed to listen to one class to the exclusion of the others or that he will veto the bill which has received such approval in congress.

THIN PEOPLE SHOULD TAKE
 PHOSPHATE
Nothing Like Plain Bitro-Phosphate ts Put on Firm, Healthy Flesh and to Increase strens th, VigOr
 and Nerve Force.

Judging from the countless prepara- tions and treatment which are eontin- uaily being advertised for the purpose of making thin people feshy, develop ing arms, neck and bust, and replacing ugly holleWs and angles by the soft curved lines of health and beauty, there are evidently thousands of men and women who keenly feel their ex- cessive thinness.
 ThiHness and weakness are often due to starved nerves. Our bodies need more phosphate than is contained in modern foods. Physicians claim there is nothing that will supply this deficiency so well as the organic phos- phate known among druggists as bitro- phosphate which is inexpensive and Is sold by most all druggists under guarantee of satisfaction or money and by supplying the hodY cells. with the necessagy phesphoric food ele- ments. phosphate should produce a welcome transformation in the ap- pearanee; the increase in weight fre- duently being astonishing.
 Increase in weight also carries with it a general improvement in the health: Nervousness sleeplessness and lack of energy, which nearly always accomp- any excessive thinness. should soon dis apear, dull eyes brighten and pale cheeks glow with the bloom of perfect health.
 While Bitro- Phosphate is unsurpassed for the relief of ner- veusness, general debility etc, those taking it who do not desire to put on flesh Should use extra care in avoiding fat t-preducfng foods.

OTHER VIEW POINTS

It is announced that the National Merchant Tailors association in con- vention will consider the advisability of abandoning the fashion of turning up men s trousers with 'fcuffS." We'll may they do so, for it is estimated that if 90.000000 should in 1920 wear two pairs of trousers each minus the "cuffs" more than a million yards of suiting would be saved. Such a con- servation of material is not only de-
 sirable in itself but might make the thicker pants" goods of former times possible, thus saving the average man much winter shivering and disea se- invitir z exposure caused by the thin trouse. .nss of the present peried.-

 The heavy snow is no friend of the
 automobile. It takes the boastfulness
 all out of the modern vehicle and
 makes it a good deal of nuisance as
 it wallows in the drifts. straining itself to pieces and blocking traffic. As a matter of fact, the automobiles have
 been more of a nuisance and hindrance to trolley operation than the snow i This is especially true in the case of the big trucks which get on to the tracks kept clear by trolley snow blows and then refuse to make way for cars,
 thereby making it impossible to keep to the schedule The autos have fallen down completely so far as country dis ] tricts are concerned and those who | live there are obliged to come after i doctors in case of sickness as the phy- 1 sicians cannot go in automobiles and 1 horses are not to be had for hire to any eXtent.-Bristol Press.

SAME OLD STORY.

The city Of Lynn has gone through one of those distressing affairs where loss of life has taken place in con- nection with a fireNn a home for the aged Just what the circumstances of the organization conducting the home are or why it was sheltering the inmates in an old frame building are not known, but it is indicated by the fact that 1t is believed the fire started from the heater and that the flames prevented the use of the stai-- way that improper protection was given to those who lived there.
 In an institution of that charaeter too great care against fire cannot be taken Wherever aged people or children are under institutional care every possible safeguard should be afforded. When fire proof structures cannot be provided the closest atten- ton should be given to the surround ing of stoves or heaters with such protection that fires cannot be. start ed, and in such places there should De more than one means of getting put of the building from every floor
 Life is too dear to have it snuffed out 1y the failure to properly pro- vide against such a contingency. Tn such a home it is to be realized that the inmates cannot be expected, to help themselves as might be the case with younger people and such emphasizes all the more the need of using every possible means of pre- venting fire and in additien theteto Inc supplying of adequate means of escape

IN THE DAYS NEWS
Venus. Mars and The Moon.

s Sending wireless messages to Mars and Venus, and the possibility of pro- jecting a rocket to the moon, are sub jeets of recent speculation which have excited keener interest in our solar system.
 Mars always challenges interest" 1" says William J-eph Showalter in communication u the National Geo. graphic Society.
 its day is about the same length as ours, but it's year is nearly twice as long. Although astronomers gen erally take less interest than laynlen in the surmise as to whether other planets, and stars are inhabited, since they, more than laymen, real ize that this is a problem that must in all human probability remain un- solved, the question is more often asked about Mars than any other planet.
 Vents was an unusually interest inb object in the sky during. July of last year. Not again until February, 1921, will it appear as bright and far in the evening sky. It has phases like the moon, and these can be seen even through a good field glass. Its day is believed to be the same length as it's year, which is PA of our days.
 1t is quite generally believed that Mars has iee-eapped poles. The tele- l scope reveals white spots at the poles 1 that have every appearance of being 1 like our ocean Polar region. They | advance toward the equator in winter and retreat in summer. In the sum- mer of 1s16, Pickering, who, with 1 Lowell, has led the school of astrono-
 nals on Mars, said that he found the white caps stretching, farther down toward the equator than he l had ever seen them before.
 l He said that if there was any ] connection between the weather oi Mars and that of the earth, the win ter of 1916-17 would be the coldest in many years. And it was. May il yet be possible to do leng-range Wea-
 theE< forecasting on the earth by l studying the waxing and waning ol the ice-cap on the South Pole oi | Mars?
 Perhaps our most graphic picture of the solar system is given by Her l schel Imagine a circular field two
 and a half miles in diameter place

Gutenberg said that the sS men who signed the manifesto at the beginning of the war then believed that Ger many had been attacked underhand- edly and that the country merely availed itself of it's right of self de- fense
 Professor Brentane has declared that he was urged by telegraph to all low his signature to be appended, that he assented only to regret it bit terly after he saw the text of the pa per Felix Weingaertner writes in a similar vein.
 Of the 7S living scientists and pro- fessors. Dr. Weinberg received replies from 55. Sixteen who stood by their guns and declared their Terence to their original standpoint include Siegfried Wagner, Eduard Meyer, Doerpfeld and Lenz.
 One of the sixteen replied that he had read the manifesto again, sen tence by sentence. and had not found a single one which, according to his knowledge, of the situation, could not be signed today. Twenty three of the signers did not reply to Dr. Weh- bergs inquiry.
 The manifesto was originated, as serts Dr. Weinberg, by a small group of professors and artists including Emil Fischer, Fulda, Harnaek. Hum perdinck. Max I.iebermann, von Liszt, Reike, Riehl and Sehmoller. They obtained the signatures of the oth- CTS chiefly by telegraph.
 The issuance of the manifesto is characterized by Dr. Weinberg as a tragic mistake which has brought harm to Germany" After the first excitement of the war he adds, the better part of the saYants genuinely regretted the signing but many were restrained by false pride from pub lcly admitting their error of judg- ment"
 He quotes Carl Hauptmann as say ing that the manifesto fills the sign CTS with horror and that they will be warned for the rest of their lives against the impetuous gregariousness which has erazed humanity for cen turies'

STORIES OF THE WAR
A Tragic Mistake.

Thirty-nine of the 93 German sa- wants and professors who signed on October Il, 1914, the famous manifes- to attempting to justify Germany's course in the war, now realize that they made a tragic mistake" Six teen, however, adhere to their belief that the manifesto was drawn up in accordance with facts.
 This has been disclosed by can vass of the 7S living opponents of German culture who signed the man feste. This has just been conducted by Dr. Hans Weinberg.
 Br. Weinberg reports that Ss of the signers of the celebrated document have admitted to him that today by no means all of the assertions there in made could be maintained. Many of them, he says, insist that they did not correctly read or understand the paper when they affixed their sigma lures to it or allowed them to be at- tached.
 Some of these Ss already expressed their regret that they signed the statement and eight of them have withdrawn their signatures since pr. Weinberg began his investigation. These eight are Luje Brentano. Fe- lix voH WeiRgaeruner, Herbert Eu- lenherg, W. Foerster, Won Kaulbach and the theologians Sehmidlin, Herr mann and Mausbach.

eovERNMENT REVENUE.

Tax lodging, like the methods that are taken to circumvent other laws, is resorted to by large numbers of people, and especially do the intriea- cies of the income tax laws lend en- couragement in that direction. The mysteries of the income blanks. es- pecially when the surtaxes come to be applied, are such that many hon. est mistakes can be made, but for that very same reason those who are to beat the government find it an en- ticing field.
 In this connection 1t is interesting to note that Internal Revenue Com missioner Rope has asked for an in crease of three million dollars in the appropriations for his department in order that about 1500 additional em- ployes may be secured to carry out comprehensive audit of tax returns. He bases this request upon the belief that such an audit will result in se- curing an additional billion dollars for the government, and if he is jus tified in the assertion from what he knows of the condition the expendi- ture would certainly be warranted.
 It is perfectly evident that if there are those who are dedging the taxes levied bE. the government, which means that just so much greater burden is to be placed upon the oth- CTS, they should be ferreted out It is unquestionably true that there will be found instances where the gov ernment has been overpaid, as well as those where honest mistakes have been made, but when there is a hole in the revenue to such an extent as billion there Is no better way in which, the reduction or the end, of the federal taxes levied as the result of the war car be hastened than by the gathering in of that shortage. whatever may be the reason for #. The close tax audit that is desired is something that iii all fairness should be provided for When the government can get tllcusan1 dol liars for every three that it spends in that way it's good business.

TROLLEY FARES.

No surprise can come from the an nouncement which has been made to the effect that a higher trolley fare in the cities of Norwich and New London will be sought in the spring.
 From the operation of the trolley system in this part of the state dur ing the past several months it has been clearly disclosed that it-is not being done at a profit even under curtailed service. but from the ex- pianation Of Receiver Perkins a care ful study into the receipts shows that the travel on the lines outside of the cities produce sufficient at their present rate but that it is the op- eratson of the city lines on the fiat rate Of a nickel that piles up the 6e- icit
 For just as long a period as the people have been experiencing a higher cost of living the trolley roads have. been having similar trouble. Everything which enters into their operation has gone up and the won der is that these two cities have been able Co get trolley transportation for the five cent rate. In all other cities of the state. some several times  larger than either Norwich or New London. the fare has been increased and in 9 number of them the increase has been in effect for a year or more.
 It is perfectly evident to the peo- pie of this as well as any other com munity that they cannot get along without trolley service. A substitute costs much more and is far from be- tng as satisfactory. to say nothing of the uncertainty and increased hazard In such transportation. Trolley ser vice is as necessary to Fbusiness as it Is to the individual and when con- sideration Is given to the fact that a prolonged effort has been made to pnaintain the rate at a nickel there can be no reasonable disposition to stand in the way of what has been shown to be inevitable. Neither Norwich nor New London can be ex- sected to oppose a transportation
 are that is justified.

Officially, of course, there is peace. Diplomatic relations are resumed. But the question is not so much political as social and commercial, and the Ger man people will do well to understand from the beginning that adventures such al theirs cannot be obliterated by the signature of document, and that the future depends upon themselves They must recognize that The Eng fish people as a whole-ma gnanimous as we may justly claim them to be have been taught by the Germans themselves to entertain a profound suspicion of everything German. No German need expect to be taken on trust any more. Henceforth he must prove his good faith. That process will take long time, and it is of no use merely pretending a change of heart and mind.-London Post.
