NAVAL CONTRADICTION.

From the report which has been made by the naval committee of the senate there Is no encouragement given to the dea of a naval holiday or to the aban- aonment of the construction of capital ships. The report represents as might be expected the views of the naval board and that b'dy is not inclined to rush from one policy to another but to fol- low fixed plans having regard for condi- tions now and such as are likely to de velop in their opinion considering the ex. periences of the past
 It Is the belief of the committee there fore that there should be no letup in tho carrying out of our naval policy, that even though there has been strong ad vocacy of rhe curtailment in the con struction of big ships and the devotion O greater attention to aircraft it would b, nnwise to make any such radical change It considers that the time has not com when we can afford to abandon the de pendence upon our capital ships, tha surface vessels must be relied upon fo some time to come in spite of the prog ress made in other direction. The situa ton, therefore, in the opinion of the com mittee, Is such that we must neither neg lect t-our capital ships nor disregard tn additional protection that must com from airplanes and underwater boats. I other words We must be alert to protec Ourselves by providing adequate defensiv measures of all types.
 That is the policy that Is advocated i view of present conditions. It is take without regard for the possibilities of a international understanding concernin disarmament, leaving that to be dea . with when the time comes. It is fatl opposed to the naval holiday idea, wher, by naval construction would cease for certain period and maintains that VI must look well to the protection of or own interests until such time comt as to make a substitute possible. Whe tine time comes that there is an intern; tional understanding regarding navies
 viii be possible to view naval constru tion in a different light and it is ev dent that there is no hing in the nav committee report that will stand in Il way of a disarmament conference R Iher does the advocacy of holding to I construction programme urge the holdi. of such a conference.

 From stiiI another part of the town Mrs. A. 2. Race has left us. Mrs. Race was a younger woman. in tho .fuil tide and vigtr of middle life and had not the leisure for her friends that.

 So. little by little. the old West Farms of Norwich Is losing It's old and beloved inhabitants. The mantle of the older one' Is falling upon the shoulders of new ! generation and the gracc5 and virsues which adorned their lives may well servt

our Gas and Electric Plant.

Mf. Editor: There has been introduced into tho legislature bill which, If pass cd, will bring our local gas and electric plant under the supervision of the pub lie utilities commission. Privately owned gas and electric enterprises are subject to the regulations of the public utilities commission; why not municipally owned
 plants of this kind as well?
 Whoever introduced this bill has cer- tainiy intrpduced a bill which should be of advantage 10 the city of Norwich and to the people of the city generally. It is very good idea and should result in great good to Norwich, if passed, but it will not be passed unless the citizens of Norwich show some interest in the mat ter.
 understand that this matter is to come before the city council next Tues
 day as to the approval of this measure
 before the legislature. It seems to me
 that the citizens of Norwich are, or
 should he, greatly interested in this mat ter. If they are satisfied to pay the present prices for gas and electricity
 then 1t Is up to them to stay away from that meeting; but If they are interested
 In bettering our plant and getting some | enlightenment on the subject, and hay l ing it subject to the scrutiny of the pub lie utilities commission, then they shoult teertainly appear at the council meeting
 and show their interest in the matter.
 We are in Norwich today paying mor' for gas than any city in the state o iConnectieut. S1.75 per thousand Is tn highest paid by any city in this state The unit of measure fixed by the publi utilities commission Is 1000 cubic feet but we arc taxed at the rate of $1.00 pc hundred for the first hundred cubic feet the highest I believe in the country. I that rate continued that maxes the nr1 thousand feet at the rate of $1o per thou sand. That is something to think about Very few people have given it muc ] thought for the figures and prices are s
 complicated that il would take Philadel phia lawyer to understand and explai . them
 The actual cost of gas. as it really hs ures out, amounts to this: The first 10 cubic feet costs $1eo, and from thi 2 there is no rebate no matter how. muc you take; that must not be forgotteI : The next 200 feet cost S1,2o, and so on U [ to 500 which cost $1.So, and 1000 cub, 7 feet cost $2.7e. This Is the way the fig uYes werk out $2.7o for gas per thoui

THE LABOR BOARD DEC1sroN.

By the decision which has been givsR by the railroad laher board deAyilg ti,e petition of the railway executives that the board terminate the HatieaAt agree nents it is plainly evident thst 1t does not end tke matter. The executives h order s0, aysid the long delay that coul& be expected by having the eommiesiea hold a hearing on the matter sought te hasten the matter by avoiding sa inr quiry. That the commission b aAnythg the petition, has indicated cannot be done. It takes the position that ssseA . matter must go through the FsSniaE course, that beth sides must be heard upon 1t and that deeisisn must b. req dered in accord herewith. + is upWil1, ing to assume the aHthsrity for tskinS such course as the executives sought. and the result Is that the national sgEee- (nents, entered into during the war and putting employees throughout the country in their respective classes on the same basis throughout the country regardless of conditions, will have to remain until they are changed in the prescribed way Thus the decision is in effect upon ths method sought of accomplishing the end
  sired change. The board does not sa. l that the ending or modification of thi agreements are not justified or unjusti fled. It hasn't as yet passed upon tha! phase of the request but it does hold tha wherever such a request Is decided i must be following a hearing. In ethel words the beard considers itself boHns by the act under which it Was create. and compliance herewith Is the polio! under which it will act.
 Now it can be expected that the mat ter will be made the subject of an fnves tigation and the claims of tine respectiv
 interests given hearing. It will talk more time but it will not be open to tn
 claim that snap judgment Is fayoriAx on side or another CT that the board is ex ceeding its rights by falling to get at tn
 facts in the ease. a situation which ts
 often prevails in many disputes.

A VISIT TO LINCOLN IN WARTIME

 He shook my hand in both of his and very solemnly said, You don't know how glad I am to hear you say that
 'I did not appreciate then what great strain he was under-not until reading welles' celebrated diary, show ing that Lincoln had no person around him to advise him; that everything he did was from his own thoughts and de- cision. It is a wonder to me that he ever got through the war so successfully. l did not know then that Lincoin's table was piled with letters demanding the change of Grant. declaring that his cam paign was a failure and wanting to have different commander sent, etc.

Major ceuersi GrenviiIe M. Dodge, famed beth AS commander in the Civil war and as the chief engineer during the construction of the Union Pacific rail- road, wrote for private circulation book of personal "reminiscences of Lin eoln, Grant and Sherman, each of whom he knew, the last two intimately. In the book General Dodge recounts num- Der of anecdotes of Lincoln not generally known.
 He tells of visit he paid to President Lincoln at the White House at a time when the chief executive was greatly worried oYpf the command of the Union forces becaHce he was receiving 50 many demands that Grant be relieved of the command. General Dodge writes:
 When I arrived at. Washington and went to the White house to call on Pres ideat Lincoln met Senator Harlan of my state in the anteroom, and he took me in te see the president. It happened to be at the hpur when the president was receiving the crowd in the antechamber next to his room. Senator Harlan took me up to him immediately and presented me to him. President Lincoln received me cordially and said he was very glad to see me He asked me to sit down while he disposed. of the crowd I sat deEn and waited. saw him take each person by fhe hand and in his kindly way dispose of them. To an outsider it would seem that they all got what they wanted for they seemed to % away happy.

 'T sat down again and waited quietl, until he had disposed of the crowd. Whel he was through he took me into the mex
 room. He saw that I was i'll at ease, s
 he took down from his desk a little boo called The Gospel of Peace think was written by Artemus Ward and wa very humorous. He opened the bool

 when he saw that he had got me i his power he laid the book down and bt , gan to talk to me about my visit to tn , Army of the Potomac and what I say He did not say single word about m
 own command or about the west, show ing his whole interest was in the Arm ) of the Potomac. While we were sittin ' there talking we were called to lunch. During the meal he talked about u Il Army of the Potomac and about Grai and finally led up to the place where l ! asked me the question of what I thougl about Grant and what thought abo, his next campaign.

Norwich Amateurs.

Mir. Editor: As an observer of the best amateur entertainment ever given in Norwich, and of which Norwich can justly be proud. it seems only right that some expression of appreciation, and gratitude should be made through the daily news. IL was all sos near profess sional work, yes much better than some professional work seen by myself, and many others. Everybody liked it" was the general statement. Norwich has discovered considerable talent heretofore hidden. and that talent has shown effi- ciency cf note as portrayed Monday last in the musical revue, Ohl Ohi Cindy! The leading lady, Cindy. did splendid work, especially in the climax and had no small task, as did also her opposite, or lead ing man Steve. His singing was fine. Second to none was the versatility of Goldie, Cindy's chum, who always seems well fitted for whatever role she has to l do vivacious and pleasing Le Crier also did her work with much charm. Due credit should be given to each and all l as each excelled it seemed as one after another appeared, in his or her part. As .

Tribute to Three Franklin Women.

Tribute to Three Franklin Women.
 MT. Editor: The little town of Franklin is made up, owing to it's physical confg- uration, of a number of little neighbor- hoodswhat-what in England are cAlled "hamlets''-and the residents of these individual communities, while not often visiting or seeing one another. have a great bond of unity in their affection and loyalty for tiIe one common church there, and are tl way one large family. At { times of general interest, such as Me norial day, the graduating exercises, the grange meetings, the people from these scattered, groups of homes gather to- gether, and keep bright and glowing the friendship which lies in their hearts. When death invades one of these neigh | borhoods 1t is a grief to all, and when, as has so lately happened, families in three different parts of the town are called upon to mourn, tlTe sense of loss to these friends who remain is most ] acute. | Mrs. Thomas Kingsley, the last of the 1 three to depart this life, lived to the ad- vanced age of ninety-hve. Her interest and sympathy with all her friends wa: keen almost to the last For years shG had welcomed her friends on her birth
 lay, and at the annual missionary gar. 1,n party given by her daughter she wal e most cordial and graceful hostess Those who have been privileged to attend ,hese delightful reunions win feel blanl
 indeed.

Two Divorce Suits Filed

Suit for divorce was filed Mon
day in the district court by r. c. King
who, in his complaint, states that his
wife, Amelia King, treats him in a
cruel and inhuman manner, struck
him over the head with a piece of
stovewood and has accused him of
indecent actions. The couple were
married at Bonners Ferry on July 16,
1917. S. E. Henry is attorney for the
plaintiff.
A divorce action has also been filed
by Florence Squirting against Fred
James Squirting. The complaint cites
that the couple were married at Sher-
idan, Wyo.. on December 20, 1919, and
charges the defendant with failure to
provide the necessaries of life, with
cruelty and with dissipation of money
of the plaintiff. The plaintiff prays
for the restoration of her former name,
$40 monthly alimony and for the costs
of the action. z. M. Flood is attorney
for the plaintiff.
