A'. a time like this when to ‘the core it is rather -easy it the finger.of scorn in the § direction. It is easy to accuse. ’ to find prey for the wrath wool American. Those 'who wave the fiag longest and sing the “Star Spangled ‘Banner” loudest .are not al- ways the best patriots. Yet we look for due respect to the flag no matter who, the man, no matter who the woman; in public officials ‘especially do we ask for a good example. The men who have been slow in coming to the mark perhaps are negligent. Once they comply with the wishes of the community ~they have done all that can be asked. And this is not ying that the men in question have or have not donc their duty. Itisa mere plea for justice. With the nation at war the people of the nation must be careful, more careful in their likes and disfikcs thad: during peace time. Facts, facts, facts, should be the back-bone of every ac- cusation. Suspicion is not enough. Any man may draw suspicion to him- self, innocently. Many a man suf- fering from locomotor ataxia has been adjudged drunk. The watchful -waiting policy is not a bad one in this. day and generation. Any one under suspicion can be kept under vigilance without the rumbling of drums or the booming of cannon. Common sense dictates a policy of toleration toward all citizens of the ‘Republic, since the fundamental prin- ciple of justice is that a man is in- nocent until he is proven guilty. We can exercise reason without allowing any one to run rough shod avet us. We can protect America without ac- cusing promiscuously. ‘*Any ohe who knows of disloyalty an the , police force can prefer charges. WISE APPOINTMENTS, Mayor Quigley could have gone a long way and fared worse in his sex lections of men to serve on the new fire and pollc\o boards. This is the concensus of opinion among those Wwho know the calibre of the men ap- bointed. Especially is it true in re- gard to the men named as the prob- able chairmen of the two boards. Al- fred E. Magnell, at the head of the new fire commission, is an ideal ap- pointment. There could be no better executive than H. S. Taliard, who will probably lead the deliberations of 'the police board. Commissioner Magnell has been in gctive touch with the work of New Britain's fire department for almost ten years. There has been no phase of the” work here in which he was not: associated in some way or another during all that time, His keen per- cept®n of what should be done, and how it should be done, has brought hln} in close touch with all those interested in this phase of civic ac~ tivity. By making a special study of fire prevention methods, he has be- come an authority. Such & man can, with the proper support, do admirable work for the city of New Britain. Not known to as many as are-fa- miliar with Commissioner Magnell, the new prospective head of the po- Hce department carries with him the confidence of all those who have be- come associated with him in one way or ‘another. Cowmdssioner Tallard will prove himself a strict disciplin- arian, & thorough student of poMce department affairs, and a courteous public’ official. He is just such the man. to deliberate in' the councils of the department. Altogether, the city “Well,” comments a contemporary, “June came in like a water rat.” Yes, and it is liablg to go out like a gutter: znipe. ‘Emperor Charles, so we are credit- ably jnformed, is in favor of peace.

SHE MARRIED ANOTHER. L, There's a sorrow in my heart that came today. There's a sadness that will never go away. It's a gnawing, gnawing, gnawing Like some animal a-clawing And it holds my soul in terror, and at bay. Oh, it seems as if my heart is rent in twain. Seems as if the world is filled with naught but pain; Seems as if the wind is sighing As when men are dying, dying On the gallows, and they struggle all in vain. o is to be' congratulated upon the wise choice of officals named by the maayor.

Meskill in police court today charged with assault upon Mrs. Mary Majenguits, occupant of the apart- ments over him at the North street address. A fine of $5 and costs was imposed on Michael for his activity yesterday in destroying boundary lines separating the garden of the com- plainant and that cultivated by -him. It was testified that he became much provoked when the complainant re- monstruted with him. relative tp the conduct pursued by him \{n disregard- ing her allowance and destruction of a part of her garden. “If you object to the garden, you can’'t have your clothes line on my side of the yard,” the complainant was alleged to hdve sald. Michael responded by destruc- tive methods towards his neighbor’s well-cultivated garden and a number | of flowerfing plants. It was also tes- tified that he knocked her ddwn, when her remonstrancé became ur- gent and also called her uncompli- mentary names. Motorcycle Police- man, Willlam P. Hayes made the ar-: rest upon complaint. “Anyway, they feed you well, give you shelter and do not work you too hard in jail, while there iare no Red Cross donations, ‘Liberty Bonds' to buy and other wartime expenses,” John Buckas of 196 Hartford avenue | is alleged to have told Policeman George E. Ellinger last night when arrested charged with looting the clothes line of a neighbor of materials ,valued at about $3. Althdugh Attor ney A. A. Greenberg conducted a spirited defense in his behalf, it cost John $15 and costs for his pastime, with revocation of previous probation. It was testified that Thomas Perry, sitting on the veranda of a neigh- bor, saw the accused approach the clothes line at dusk, break oft a dead limb 80 as to draw the clothes within easy reach, and then purloin the gar- ments. Axel Johnson of ‘Cedarville looked upon the wine when it is red Satur- day night and then attempted to drive his farm wagon home. .Policeman Meddrick, Perry discovered him on South Main street with the horse and ‘wagon navigating similarly to a ship without a rudder or when dodging a submarine. Axel made a plea for leniency on the ground that it is planting time, but was reminded of a recent appearance in court on a sim- ilar charge. A fine of $10 and costs was imposed. Michael Zisk of Layrel street, an employe of Alderman M. Irving Jest- er, according to his statement, was fined $5 without costs for assault upon Adam Suto and Michal Remick.

The arrest was made by Policeman George E. Ellinger upon complaint. Characterized as & person Wwho could not be reasoned with, had been warned repeatedly and refused to ac- cept the warning, Bartholomew Dob- lowski of 10 Clinton street was fined $25 and costs for peddiing milk with- out a license and not having license number properly displayed upon his 'wagon. The arrest was made by Po- liceman William P. Hayes upon com- plaint of Dr. Burdett D. Radclift, milk inspector of the health board. Dr. Radchff testified that the accused had been warned and, finally, refused a license by vote of the health board until sanitary conditions at his home were improved. Prosecuting Attor- ney Klett called attention to it being the accused fifth appearance in court for violation of ordinances. As a result of differences at a Beaver street christening on Beaver street vesterday, George and John Poppish of 86 Sexton street were fined $5 and costs each for breach of the peace, | John Solomon of Kensington was dis- charged and Michael Tutko of 128 Beaver street allowed to go under a suspended sentence. George Poppish was represented by Attorney A. A, Greenberg. Fists, bottles and other weapons were alleged to have been in prominence until the arrival of Policemen Moore, May u.nd Joseph Kennedy. Upon the request of Attomey M. H. Camp, representing Judge B- F. Gaff- ney, who is out of the city, the hear- ing of reckless driving charges against David Berkowitz of Union street was continyed until Saturday. The ac- cused was chauffeur of an automobile that figured in a somewhat serious accldent' on the East Side last week.

It was testified that his machine ran into one operated by James P. Lyons with such force that it was thrown on the sidewalk and occupants thrown out. The ac- cused said that he misjudged the dis- tance and speed.of the other machine, believing that he could clear without any trouble resulting. George Grimord of 203 Camp street, Meriden, was fined $13 and costs for violation of the motor vehicle statutes in operating a machine without an operator’s license and with dealer’'s markers affixed to a car used for pleasure.

FIELD Advleenyunhedsmmy Officer Which Is Vfluflh to Those Eligible For Service n America’s Now .Legions. COMPANY ADVANCE. Up to the point of encountering the enemy's fire, a Company advances into an engagement in Close Order, whether for attack or defense. The usual formation, because of its mo- bility, as the Column of Squads. The Column of Squads has the dopble ad- vantage of affording a convenient front for progressing along roads and thréugh comparatively narrow spaces, such as.ravines, declivities, or breaks in the tress, and of being at all times convertible into any other formation desired. The Company is deployed upon reaching the zone of hostile fire for the protection of the men, but it may then continue to advance with- out returning the fire, depending upon The use of ‘“ a succession of thin lines” is a frequent matter of facil- itating the advance. This reduces tha losses which would. otherwise be in- curred if the Company were deployed by greatly diminishing the man-front offered to the enemy and ' propor- tionately increasing the intervals be- tween individuals. Thus, if the enemy knew that a unit-was advancing, and had reason to believe from the ap- parent extent of its front that is was deployed, he would probably spread his fire accordingly. At all events, if the unit were ap- proaching under cover, or partial cover, he would be compelled to as- sume that it is deployed, if he: had ; indications of the width of the front, ! in order to cover the whole area with his fire. Meanwhile, the Company might be advancing in columns of single or doubls file, with intsrvllnl between equal to the intervals be-, tween the centers of quads or Pla-l toons in deployment. This succession of thin lines, known | as “Platoon, or quad, Columns,” may otherwise facilitate the advance by al- lowing for the passage of .t Com- pany through.rough or. tory; it also affords a. bave tunity to take advantage -of The two latter factors are perhaps more important than the first with I“By Platoon -(two the Squad, at least if the advance is against machine guns, for a machine gun, if it had a comparatively unob- structed range, could render the unit's ] entire front untenable, whether 1t toon Columns, however moving as they do outside the area of m bum{ of single shrapnel (about 20 yards) may greatly reduce the losses vh‘n! under artillery fire, or even under ! machine guns. / The choice of the method of ad- vance is made by the Captain, or by | the Major, if the Company is with | a Battalion, and will depend upin the conditions at hand. If it developes that the deployment itself is prema- ture, it is generally found best to As- semble the Company and proceed in : Close Order. Advancing in the Fire Attack, as we have already seen, may be ac- complished by sending forward de- ployed Squads or Platoons in a series of rushes. If this is by Squads, st| command, the First Squad (on’ right) follows its Corporal, running ll‘ top speed to the point indicated by the | Captain, where it Halts and finds cover, usually flat on the ground. ‘When the first fraction of the Com- pany hag thus established itself on the new line, following !he command, } ‘or four men) from the Right _(Left, RUSH,” the next fraction is -!(n‘. lor1 ward by its’ Platoon leader without further command from the Captain until the whole Company is on the line established by the first rush.
