TRLEPHOND CALLE. pas Oftice . .o 2] Rooms LITHUANIA. uania, like heroic Belgium, the doll of Europe, has been com- ly devasted during the present Her cities and villages have reduced to ruins, her three mil- people have “been made martyrs e true sense of the word; her forced to take arms, her women children deprived of shelter. are in need of urgent relief, and his reason the President of the pd States has set aside ‘Wednesday, mber 1, as Lithuanian Tag Day. ughout the great cities and s of the United States money will pllected -for the support of these ing people. New Britain is per- more famillar with the Lithuan- beople than any other city in this of the country. Here the Lithu- s have come and made their bs and helped build the city. They proven the highest type of citi- hip, and on the first day of mber their suffering brothers and s in the old land will not be ptten. Generous America Wwill er to this call as she has to many has been computed that in the eighteen months of the European more than twenty-seven thou- milllons of dollars were spent, ons of lives lost and property oyed that can never be replaced. ng this latter item are some of greatest churches ever erected e face of the earth, sacred edi- that took anywhere from two hundred years in the building whose architecture was the marvel 11 Hlurope. For all those dollars simple minded they &o not know it. But Mr. Brown concedes there are some who will vote for President Wilson because “He has kept us out of war.” Taking the second sentence in the aforementioned paragraph from Mr. Brown’s work, “Others favor the Re- publican party because they think we should have been more firm, and have taken certain steps to assert our strength, * * * even though such steps had meant war, with all its harsh consequences,” Mr. Brown again treads on dangerous ground. For, it has been contended, and with very good reasons, that any action oppo- site to the course pursued by Presi- dent Wilson during the past two and a half years would have thrown the country into war. Any steps “to as- sert our strength,” would have meant war. Any steps to do away with the contempt which Mr. Brown and others claim the European nations hold for us would have meant war. Any steps other than the writing of notes to make Germany check her ruthless submarine warfare would have meant war. Any steps other than usual diplomatic approaches in dealing with England and France on the seizure of malils and ships would have meant war. Any other way of dealing with afflicted Mexico would have meant war. And so it goes on down the line. There was only one alternative in every act of President Wilson during those trying days that began with the European war. Every time the check- ers were moved he was in a dilemma. Bven in the railroad crisis. It was either a settlement or a strike, which in the end meant an industrial war. And every time Charles Evans Hughes criticises these policies he can offer but one substitute,—war. Is it any wonder then that there are those who will vote for the President because “He has kept us out of war?”’ Mr. J. Calvin Brown if he had a vote would probably cast it that way,—because there are plenty of chances yet to get in the war, and Brown is a lover of peace. CAMPAIGN TALK. Within the next week we may ex- pect anything in the way of politics,— wild statements, false accusations, and the passing of the short and ugly word. It is always the case when t in the ruthless destruction of and all that he cherishes, the ey spent to alleviate the suffering is left in the wake of the war- is a mere pittance. The mil- f that have been spent by the Red s and the various relief corps at in Europe have come for the part from America, yet no one kes a dollar thus given, and it goes a good work, small as the sum be. It is better to spend four ve million dollars in this way to cast away twenty-seven thou- Bl millions in bringing misery on face of the globe, in destroying wonderful little - countries as uania, once a glorious and mighty kdom. The appeal ‘will be met in b Britain with the spirit of human- that characterizes all New Bri- 's public acts. ERY AMERICAN’S BUSINESS.” Calvin Browm, the man who re- 1y appeared before a political hering in this city and told how he, hn American who has lived for ten rs or so in England, was insulted his club every time the name of lodrow Wilson was mentioned, has tten a book, one bearing the title ery American’s Business.” As a nterested spectator, as one who has Irneyed all the way from dear ol’ don to tell the American people v they should cast their votes, bn he himself has no vote to cast, Brown’s message evidently means t it is “Every American’s Business’ vote for Charles Evans Hughes on vember 7. here 18 one paragraph in this ptise on the tariff, that is about at it pretends to be, which says:— any, I suppose want to vote the mocratic ticket because Wilson has oeeded in keeping us from being gged into the European and Mex- war arenas. Others favor the Re- blican party because they think we puld have been more firm, and have en certain steps to assert our length, and to protect our dignmity, bn though such steps had meant T, with all its harsh consequences.” Aside from the fact that Mr. Brown ps the word when he means em” in the sentence, flson has succeeded in keeping “President us m being dragged into the European d Mexican war arenas,” he thereby pkes an assertion that will not be en kindly at the headquarters of le Republican Committee That ation has yet to that nt Wilson has kept us out of pr. Indeed, it goes to. great length full page advertisements to prove at we are at present engaged in war, kking the question, “Has he kept us t of war?” Then it goes on to show although National pbm whence comes his book. admit hat we are at the merican people are so stupid and war, nearing the end of a campaign. But whatever may come between now and election day will in no way compare with the cheap politics already played by one of the greatest members of the United States Senate,—Henry Cabot Lodge. This statesman from Massa- chusetts who is the ranking member of the Foreign Relations committee has sought to discredit Woodrow Wil- son in the eyes of the world by at- tributing to him weakness and timidi- ty, by claiming, from evidence gathered in a smoking car, that Wil- son appended to his Lusitania note a mittee on Foreign Relations, a posi- tion that at this time carries with it more responsibility than any other outside the executive branch of the government. And this is the man who for purely partisan reasons is willing to hold up the head of his Govern- ment as a creature so insincere as to write one thing and mean another when dealing with a great foreign power. Senator Lodge must keep his patriotism stored away in the cellar during campaign months. The Ameri- can people, however, have a better sense of justice and pride. They know there is no truth to such assertions. FACTS AND FANCIES. Pay of German, army officers is re- duced, but they will not strike.—Al- bany Journal.

The man who told the Senator from Massachusetts this gave as his informer one Henry C. Breckinridge, former Assistant Sec- retary of War, who left the Wilson forces when Garrison resigned his portfolio. Mr. Breckinridge has characterized the informer of Senator Lodge as a scoundrel. Very few intelligent newspaper readers will be trapped into believing the campaign story of Senator Lodge. It does not require the prompt denial of three members of the President’s cabinet,—Lane, Redfield and Gregory, —to set the minds of the American people right in this matter. It had been insinuated that these men were on' the verge of resigning if the Presi- dent had allowed his supposed post- script to the Lusitania note reality. They claim that such thing ever happend. Mr. Breckinridge goes farther and says:—*“No member of President Wilson's cabinet threatened him on any subject. The malice that would seek for partisan advantage to emasculate the potency of an important act of one’s govern- ment in a vital international affair, by the mongering of backstair’s gossip, is beneath contempt.” this, the former Assistant Secretary of War shows up the methods of Senator Lodge in true colors. Such tactics in a time like this are even worse than “mongering backstair’s gossip.” It is libelous, this purveying of gossip that in the first instance has no better foundation than a conver- sation supposed to have taken place on a smoking car during which Mr. Breckinridge is alleged to have told one Dr. Charles H. Bailey, a profes- in Tuft’s medical school, that President Wilson had added an ap- pendix to the “strict occountability” note telling Germany not to take the be a no ever In sor main note “too seriously.” Aside from the libel that such gossip contains, it is, or should be, beneath the dignity of any United States Senator to pro- mulgate such a this so in the ory.
