This idea is also the of many of his people. -Austria- would be divisioned along milar to the United States. the Emperor succeed in.carry-. aspirations of his difterent people and lessen the danger of disintergration in his kingdom. The Emperor's de- cision to alter the canstitution is sald to have come after the Russian revo- lution, and the entry of the United States into the war. Once the new order is brought about, and there is good reason to hope that this may happen, the Dual Monarchy may sue for a separate peace. The Emperor sees the handwriting on the wall. Unless German Junkerism spoils the plans of Emperor Charles may we not. look forward to a\new United States? The United States of Austria-Hun- gary. Should these things be brought about the great war shall not have been fought in vain. It is being waged today with the idea‘that the world must be made safe for democracy. So fdr, democracy is the gainer. The thrones and dynasties:of the old ‘world are tottering. They have not as yet begun to tumble as we should like to see them, but they are shaking. And the signs for further destruction of old principles and old ideas of government are en- ‘couraging. As Secretary of the In- terior; Lane put it, *“Feudalism 1is making its last stand against oncom- ing Democracy. We see it caming. This is a war against an old spirit, an ancient, outworn spirit—the right of the castle on the hill to rule the village below.” That is wh‘y we are fighting against Germany,—to down that old idea, “the Divine Right of Kings.” It is an aged doctrine, a false philosophy. If there are signs of awakening in Austria-Hungary, if the Emperor there is wise enough ta see the oncoming rush of democracy, and get under cover, the day is not far distant when we may See more United States in the world. MORE. WORK FOR RED CROSS. With the destruction of San Salvae dor, capitol of the Republic of Sal- vador, and six surraunding towns, the American Red Cross will be called upon to extend ita energies in another direction. San Salvador is a city the wame size as New Britain. No de- talls of the manner in which this city was destrayed have been received in 'fi couritry; -but the selsmograph at Georgetown University last’ niéht re- corded an earthquake. This is prob- ably the cause. Volcanic eruptions have accurred in ‘that vicinity many times in the past. Sixty thousand Ppeople have in all probability been wiped off the face of the earth. The. survivors will need all the 'help that & friendly nation cah extend. with the great burdens imposed by the great war abroad, and further de- mn:d- of this country, the American Red Cross will find manner and means of helping the unfortunate people of San Salvador. If previous to this time, there were those who could see no reason for contributing one dollar and joining the Red Cross the fatalities in the Central American city should serve as a dispeller of all doubt. The American Red Cross stands supreme in its mission of ‘charity. It serves friend and foe alike. In this case it will administer to a friend, a friend in need. BUY ONE TODAY. There are but seven days left in which to purchase a Liberty Bond. The Herald today devotes an entire page of free advertising for this great Liberty Loan of 1917. Thereon can be found the names of places where subscriptions will be received. Bank- ers and financlers the country oyer have called attention to the attractive- ness of the Liberty Bonds as invest- ments. Leaving patriotism aside there is no better way of spending money than by investing it with the United States Government, the strongest financial institution in the world. If the United States of America can- not protect the money placed with it then there is no bank in the land safe. Other moneys may be taxed, other investments lost, but the Lib- erty Bonds will be safe so long as this Government is safe. The one way to make the Government safe is to back it up. Those who are not going to fight in the trenches must help feed and clothe those who are. The Liberty Bonds can be purchased in large or small denominations. Buy a Liberty Bond today and help Uncle Sam win another war. FACTS AND FANCIES. Having nobody but Austria to lick, Italy should win.—Bridgeport Tele gram. Buy a bond for your June bride.

An oak tree, tall and stately, came down with mighty crash That scared the baby saplings and thrilled the elm and ash. why all this?” the elm in- quired. ‘“What are you leaving \ for?” “My country calls,” the oak replied, “and I \must go to war!” Then, while its neighbors harkened, the oak, with sturdy heart, Told how it had enlisted to do its humble part. “Pray, ‘““There’s need for ships,” the oak be- gan, “to sail the troubled sea; A good old wooden fleet they want— 80 they've enlisted me! Of iron and steel there's scarce enough, which makes me glad indeed, For now 1, t0o, can help convey the stores our ‘allles need. Tl face the foeman's frensy with a seal to do or die, As did the good old merchantmen in years now long gone by.” The great oak’s loyal ardor sent a thrill through all the trees, And soon a call to mobilize wasg hur- ried down the breeze. One volunteered to be a bridge, one could a barracks be— No slacker bolted from ‘the line of ‘this brave company! The beeches, elms and cottonwoods marched off beside the oaks; The hickories sald for cannon gheels they'd proudly serve as spokes. Soon all the trees but one had gone to muster at the mill— The one was just a sapling left to guard a lonely hill. Yet, while it mourned its lowly state and thought existence hard. A school boy gladly claimed it for a flagstaff in his yard Which points 2 wartime moral each of us should keep in view— though we're great or hum- ble there is something all can dao! That, Don’t Be a Slacker. Don’t be a slacker, And sneak to the woods, But grab up the rifle And dellver the goods. Don’t be a slacker, And excuses make, Or, you won’t get the plums om America’s cake. Don't be a slacker, Even if you're old Don’t be a slacker Till after you're cold. HENRY WILLIS MITCHELL. NO PROVISION YET MADE.

Historical in nature and teaching a lesson of patriotism appealing to many, government bonds issued dur- ing the Spanish-American war, some of them valued as high as 109 are being exhibited in the show windows of the New Britain National Bank in stimulation of the sale of Liberty bonds. Sale of the bonds and in- quiries relative to their disposal have vastly increased lately, according to President Andrew J. Sloper of the bank, in charge of their local disposal and leads him to believe that the is- sue will be well taken care of. locally. It ‘has ben called to his attention that the employes of the North & Judd plant have taken over more than $30,- 000 in bonds, fully half of this amount being in the foundry department where thre are many workmen of foreign birth.

At a monthly meeting of the school board of this city at 4:30 this after- noon the project for appropriating $50,000 for the purpose of having an addition built to the Camp school on Prospect street will be discussed. Under a law enacted by. the fast legis- lature the State of Connecticut wlil contribute an equal amount if the city votes to make the appropriation. An addition half the size of the new EHlhu Burritt school can be built for the $100,000 and as there are 450 pupils attending the school the need of additional room is evident and unless there are more adequate quar- ters provided it will be necessary to stop admitting pupils in the numbers that they are now received. To se- cure admittance to the school at present permission must be given by the principal of the State Normal school but in the event of a larger school being built it will become a dis- trict school and attendance will be open to children living in the district directly surrounding it. - It is though probable that the prop- osition will be sanctioned and that the city will be called upon to make the $50,000 appropriation. JIf the project is passed the city and state will have to make an agreement re- lative to contracts n.nd the labor for building. The school cllendar for next year will be discussed and the report of the salary -committee presented at this meeting. Nine new teachers for the coming year have been selected by Superin- tendent S. H. Holmes. They are Hen- rietta Derwig of Enfield, Adelaide Kyle of Danbury, Henry F. Anglin of Fitchburg, Mass, Lila M. Miller of New Hprtfoxd, Elsie M.

The Patrol is perhaps the most re- sponsible and important work upon which an enlisted map may be ent gaged. The Patrol represents the eyes of the unit—eyes like those of crabs, thrust out on long feelers, so to speak, but which are still in contact with the main force and can be withdrawn to it. The use of a Patrol is threefold. It is a detachment sent out from a command to gain informa- tion of the country or. of the enemy; to prevent the enemy from gaining in- formation; or to provide the neces- sary security against surprise. An erroneous impression - prevails in uninformed quarters that the use of the aeroplane on the great scale now witnessed in Europe has dis- pensed with old methods of foot pa- trol. This is not the case. To be sura, there is no patrolling in trench warfare, in the former sense, except, perhaps in night raids; but in all mo- bile operations, to which the warfare on the Western Front, is now revert- ing, the principle of the Patrol is in- dispensable. The reason that the aeroplane can- not substitute for the foot patrol is that the aeroplane is seldom able to distinguish a command behind cover or in shelter of a forest. This fact is so well established that artillery po- sitions have been covered with bushes and treees and the guns themselves are painted a mottled green which deceives the birdmen. There is an in- finite amount of careful grouping out and detailed observations left over for foot patrols, after the aeroplane has passed ofer. It is not necessary, in the’.e articles, to consider cavalry pa- trol. As for the matter of surprise, even units as small as a company, when on the Firing Iine, must be well pro- tected by patrols on each flank. Each leader of a Flank Platoon detalls a man té watch for the signals of the Patrol or Patrols on his Flank. Pa- trols or parties posted to prevent hos- tile reconnatsssnce should releve BT T ST B Dosition by fir 3 bodies of the enamy.y lnx 5 i Y “To be surprised by an enemy ‘&t short range,” says the Drill Regulas tions, “is an unpardonable offense.” Therefore, : neconnaissance is kept up throughout an action and it is the { important duty of Combat Patrols to give security to exposed Flaznks. Whether or not the Patrol is abie.to stop a hostile reconnaissance or even an attack, it/muet at all hasards con- Vey warning of the enemy’s approach to the main body. This is the more es- sential because, while the Firing Line is obligated to take care of-itw: own fromt, its Flanks are pufiwlfl'lr Vulnerable to modern firearmsa. Bven when the casualties \i are not immediately high, the moral effect of flanking fire is known to be as great as the physicial effect. In fact, a unit which is giving the ene- my a hot fire on the fromt, may quickly go to pleces if caught by a fire on the Flank. Tomorrow’s article will be on The Strength and Purpose of Patrol. > —_— (Copyright, 1917, by the Wheeler Inc.)
