This ally involve our ceasing to act Germany‘s diplomatic servant in the six belligerent capitals where our em- bassies ha1e been looking after her interests. Second, Mr. Wickersham suggests, “We should invite all new tral nations of the world to join us in. go farther, and speak the word that shall line up all the waiting nations, upon whom devolves with us the no. hie task of preserving international law and morality from the wreckage of war? Died. American Neutrality. Killed by a German submarine, May 7. 1915. it is a mournfui thing to have to record this epitaph. But there is no evading the fact. We might have en- dured the previous attacks on Amer- ican property, liteand self-respect, but we cannot endure this. Says the New York Tribune: “Let 110 German, high or low, misunder- stand the new vision that has come to the citiaens of the United States in the days in which they have stood beside their murdered fellow-citizens. Whether we now join in the war, whether we now draw our own sword, henceforth until the destruction of those who today dominate Germany and shape her policy the American people will look upon the nations who Cham- pagne "and Flanders as their allies. are fighting the Germans in They will hope and pray for their suc- cess. ‘To strike at France, Germany as- sailed Belgium, slew the men, dishon- ored the women, murdered the child- ren. To strike at Great Britain, she has murdered American men, women and children.

The Westminster Gazette of London calls attention the “prodigious quantity of sweets consumed by our army in France" The Australians en- camped in Egypt, ads the Gazette have eaten up all the chocolate in Cairo.

The desire of the Germans for candy is shown by the omcial'government request for children to save their pen- Americans will not for to Sales and buy chocolate to send to the a council of civilization to agree upon, the steps to be taken to protect the interests of all neutral powers andl their citizens from such wanton acts of destruction of life and property.” The mere servering of diplomatic relations would be, as the New York. Times says. “a moral castigation which Germany would neither ignore, nor sneer at." How much more over- whelming would be the effect if every other neutral nation should join us in the step! Most of them seem ripe for- some such measure. The Lusitania crime was not committed solely against British and American citizens. The victims include Norwegians, Hol- lander, Danes, Swedes, italians and Greeks, and even Latin-Americans. All the nations thus affected have res- ponded with little less intensity than Newspapers everywhere, formerly guarded and cautious in their neutrality, show the awakening to the need of a new, concerted effort to curb the anarchy into which the war is degenerating. A dispatch" from Rome says: “The prevailing sentl~ ment here is that America will pun: ish Germany for the useless sacrifice of innocent lives, and that all the neu- tral nations of the world will be pre- pared to aid America if necessary!" The Copenhagen Hovedstad throws oi! all restraint, declaring, “If the vio- lation of Belgian neutrality, if L011- .vbin. Sasha and 11th have not taught us that neutrality has nothing 111 do with the hearts of the citizens of a. state, the Lusitania will teach us.’ do Nwlon of (Buenos.

All the belligerent governments are supplying their armies with a for larg- er proportion of sugar than formerly. t In this they are following the example of the United States, which several years ago established a precedent by sending candy by the top to the troops in the Philippines. The explanation, of course, is quite simple. Sugar is one of the finest of foods. In a simple form, it is quickly digested, and furnishes, for its weight and cosh-a surprising quantity of phy- sical energy. There is no other food that so quickly relieves fatigue, or is so useful in supporting a prolonged per 10d of exertion. Sweet chocolate ap- pears to be an especially desirable type. of sugar-food, because to the nutriinent of the sugar is added the harmlessly stimulating effect of the chocolate. it may be set down as one of the useful by-products of the war that lol- diets have discovered the fact—which any scientist might have told them—— that sugar is an admirable substitute for alcohol. Chemically the two are almost the some. Both are easily as- similated. The sugar doesn't "pick up" a tired man quite so quickly, but it supplies real strength instead of a doc- optivs feeling of strength; its effects last much longer; and there is no 'oon- fusion ‘of thosensosvor mind, and no subsequent depression. ' And it isn't only in the tulip of phy- aical effort that sugar is aural-selling alcohol. Many a brain worker has been surprised to find that when he is at the point of mental exhaustion, a hand- ‘ful of candy ora bis Wu! of. sour dissolved in water will pick him up inflvoorto-ninfiouuddvobln)’ hrmoruotnugthohdoutroroddi-i dons! exertion. also 11.111111111111111 9m 8m in w anthem» Bu thnns'r PASSENGER on has not the moment come for us to} an era of equipment buying by the its opening the expenditures for its THE SUNKEN LUS‘ITANIA.

The trade balance is the largest in the instol‘yyof, the country and is expect- ed to reach Il.000,000,000 by the end of the. fiscal year, June 90, and probably $1,500,000.000 by December. The Pennsylvania railroad has gone into the market for $20,000,000 worth of equipment and for material for cars and locomotives which it will build in its own shops. This is expected to mark the beginning of railroads 0f the country. With the reopening of mills and factories and mines, the resumption of railroad activity and the increas- ing demand for farm help the army of the unemployed is rapidly grow- ing smaller. By midsummer it is quite certain there will he a job for every man who wants 11 job. Rising tonnage In manufactures and merchandise, contained balances in foreign trade, in our favor. abund- ance of capital, seasonable weather, the disappearance of sinister clouds on our own diplomatic horizon, and 11 score of other factors, are all con. spiring to put new life and vigor into production,‘consumptlon and invest- ment. ‘ A canvass of the commercial clubs of some 50 large cities shows a sub- stantial and widespread feeling that the business affairs of the country are in better shape than they have been for many months, and that there is a general tendency to be‘ lieve‘ that we are slowly approach- ing an era of respectable prosperity. W NOT THE SUCCESS PREDICTED. Now they are saying that the Panama canal, the construction of which commenced in 1904 and which has cost $375,000,000. will not be the success that was predicted.

NORWALK EUROPEAN MARKETS FOR FISH. in spite of the fact that there are great sections of the United States where fish is used sparingly, the out- put of American fisheries is as val- uable as that of any country in the world. The total production in 1908, the latest year for which complete statistics are available, was some- what in excess of 1,893,000,000 pounds. If to this are added a considerable excess of imports over exports and a reasonable increase in the' catch since 1908, it seems liliely that the Inlted States now exceeds 20 pounds a year. This is not quite half the per capltll consumption in Great Britain, but it where fish is looked upon as an ea- scntial part of the diet; so large, in fact, that In seasons of unusually heavy catches it is impossible to in- crease the consumption sumciently to use up the surplus fish. At. such times greater efforts are made to sell to the inland districts and, some ex- tent, abroad. With a view to assist- ing the exporters of American fish and fish produms in their efforts to find an outlet abrbad the Bureau of Foreign and Domestic Commerce. of the Department of Commerce, has published 11 report entitled “Europ- ean Markets for Fish" According to" this report our ex- ports abroad heretofore have consist- ed principally of canned. salmon~an American product that is favorably. known throughout the entire world Tile total exports of all kinds aver- age about $11,000,000 11 year, and of this total, conned salmon is valued at $7,000,000, fresh salmon at some thing over $1,500,000 dried, smoked, cured, and pickled fish at 8.000.000. and shellfish at very nearly“ 31,000,. 000. The war has of course made some differences in the exports. The most serious dislocation of the trade occurred immediately after the be- ginning of hostilities, but later a good recovery was made and the value of exports since has been almost nor- mal, canned salmon gaining and shell- fish falling off. “European Markets for Fish" con~ talus detailed import statistics for nearly every country in Europe and thus Mazda 11 means of determining the importance of each market and the kind of fish that finds the most favor.

Dear Sir: in last evening's Sen. line! the statement was made, coming from the Police Department, that they are entitled to pensions as a matter of right. This is not so. The law provides that 11 city MAY pension its employee, but no employee is entitled to open- sion as a matter of right. But in view of our awful tax rate, has any official or Board any right to increase it without giving the people who will have to pay. the opportunity of passing upon the matter.
