The War Eagles Fly

Our Army has peculiar flare for show ing off at exactly those times when events are shaping to bring about universal peace consciousness. When Ramsay Macdonald was here to confer with Hoover on disarma- ment the Army was holding its military maneuvers in field not far distant from Washington. The huge reception given at the British Embassy in honor of the Prime Minister was punctuated by booming reverberation from the War College s annual display at the Capital.
 The most fragrant of these exhibits was the armada of the air recently initiated during International Goodwill Week. Six hundred army planes moved on large cities of the Atlantic Coast to defend the populations against an imaginary enemy with all the war atmosphere possible. The citizenry presum- ably was treated to the thrills of warfare with out its dangers. One phase of the program, the night bombing raid over New York City, was cancelled after protests had been showered on its sponsors.
 Perhaps the Army is trying to combat the influence of current literature and drama which would rob war of romance and expose the glorious patriotic" enterprise of slaugh- ter to martial music. If so. apparently the idea has failed. Perusal of editorial columns as we'll as readers columns reveals numberless bitter protests against our habit of feeding the dove of peace with one hand and carrying gun with the other"

lessor Richard J. Smith of the Yale Law school to be public utilities commissioner. If the governor will reappoint MT. Alsop and will nom- mate some democrat other than MT. Smith in place of MT. Elwell when, as and if" the latter resigns, the re- publicans are willing to give the gov ernor legislation creating two su- perior court Judgeships, the addition of two members to the tuberculosis commission and to confirm for him two new democratic nominees for the bench of the court of common pleas.
 It will be observed that this pro- posed compromise relates wholly to jobs. It does not have anything to do apparently with matters of general legislation which the governor has urged as needed to advance the well fare of the state.
 We trust the governor will have nothing to do with 1t. It should be beneath his dignity to dicker over patronage at the price of his author ity. The creation of new. jobs for de- serving democrats is not so import ant that the governor should sub- init meekly to the impudent en- croachment upon the powers of his office of which the republican lead- ership in the capitol has been guilty. If the governor could secure needed remedical legislation by sacrificing some of his desires as to patronage, he might possibly justify his course on the ground that 1t was in the in- terest of the state. No such point can be raised over mere distribu- tion of jobs.
 The governor repeatedly asked during the campaign, Does Connec- ticut, want a governor?' We trust that he will adhere firmly to the implications of that question, pursue his own proper and decent course and permit the republican organiza- ton to make as many blunders as 1t pleases in its efforts to prevent him from exercising the proper functions of his office.

DREAM FAST FADING (Ha If ford Timeal


 The Providence chamber of com- merce, persistent pleader for a new railroad outlet to the west, an atti- tude which led the Rhode Island delegation to dissent from the New England. governors committee re- garding rail consolidation in this ter- 'ritory, has received new setback in its program by the filing of suit by a western contractor to sell the moribund Southern New EngAnd railroad. The contractor is trying to collect on $750,000 court judg- ment held by him against the road which Is in a partial state of com pletion and intended to link Provi- dence with the Boston, and Albany line at Palmer, Massachusetts.
 If the court decides that the con- tractor is entitled to such equity as as the partially-graded roadbed em- bodies, the Providence chamber will face crucial test of its deisres and ambitions. If 1t can raise the capi- tai to buy the roadbed and franchise, complete the grading, build few bridges, lay the tracks and provide rolling stock, it will be ready to see it's dream go into action Of shipping freight from her wharves to all points west and north and linking hoped-for ocean shipping with northwestern inland points.
 What the Providence dreamers of dreams will do, events will disclose. To others the latest development in regard to the Southern New Englapd railroad, which has been dormant since 1915, suggests that Providence revise it's passion for another trunk line connection and join in the sup. port of the New Egland governors committee. or if that seems uncon-- yincing, to counter or supplement It with something more substantial than the dwindling vision of e new trunk line connection.

Brazil,s Mar Measure

~>s~~e@s
 On May 28, 1917, the Brazilian Chamber of Deputies passed the first reading of the administration meas ure revoking Brazil's neutrality in the war between Germany and the United States.
 The bill was amended to authorize the government to utilize German ships in Brazilian waters. During the debate on the bill. the greatest enthusiasm was shown in the chamber. The galleries were crowded with members of the diplo- matic corps and other prominent persons. A Pacifist deputy who nt- tempted to speakswas interrupted by other deputies who cried,"The Ger mans: are assassins."
 On this day in Europe the Ger mans failed in three attempts to wrest Moronvilliers Heights from the French. The Italians, on their front were successful in crossing the Timayo estuary and occupying San Giovanni.

employed in making money for the owners. Why shon1dn't they pay well for itl The argument for municipal ownership of water supplies is based solely on the fact that this commodity can be given to the people at cost price. It certainly should appeal to New Hzvenites with the chances of having to pay higher rates fairly good. It might have been better for the city to have bought the water works when it had an opportunity some years ago.

 An unusual outbreak of banditry preceded the recent murder crop, which. was climaxed by the shoot ing of two labor leaders at lunch in a restaurant near A. F. of l.. headquarters. A union lawyer planes the district attorney for the latter crime because in April he dismissed charges against four per- sons who had assaulted a union official in front of his offices.
 Prior to the last few months of crime there was a gaudys process sion of murders and unsolved mys- teriesS which used to attract na- tional attention--the Mary Baker, Virginia MacPherson and Beulah Limerick cases among them.
