They are mad &)l through and just biding their time ifi they get & chance to repay the rmans for/what happened to thelr mradet They will get their re- jvenge before this war is over. You can depend on that.” $ So sald the tommanding officer of e American battalion that returned ffrom the first line of trenches after Baving met with Dbattle at the hands of the Germans. This is the same de- thchment of American troops swooped down upon by a German raiding par- ¢ not long ago and from among ich the Huns captured several, led three, and wounded twelve. 'That these boys are “the scrappiest punch of soldiers in France,” there ban be no doubt. American soldlers, s a rule, are “scrappy’’. They were ‘gcrappy” in the Revolutionary War: hey were ‘“scrappy” in the War of 812; they were ‘“scrappy”’ on botb fes in the War between the States; d ‘they were “scrappy” in the panish War. They will be “scrappy” the greatest of all wars. This is the same *scrappy” set of nen who will some day see to it that man who instigated this war gets 1l that is coming to him. This is the me outfit that will some day walk Hown the Main Street of Berlin, nown the world over as “Unter den pden,”” and there tell the Hohen- ollerns and all their ilk, in the lan- uage of a famous Kentucky editor, 'go to Hell.” GET ON THE BAND WAGON. It New Britain were half as bad as e have heard some of the “natives” y it is, why is it there are close on’ o sixty thousand people living here? ‘We have always figured it this way. & town is good enough to live in, ind earn a living in, and raise a fam- ly in, and bulld a home in, and do her things in,—it is surely goodiy nough\to die in, and even die for. ' I¢ New Britain is not just what the ople of New Britain would have it, ¢ there is something wrong With the neral make-up of the town, why do hot the chronic “kickers’,—they are hat,—point out the way in which he town can be improved? We have generally found this to be rue: Criticism that s not construc- ive criticism is no criticism at all. t is merely complaint. The old town ceds some one to step forward and ell it how it can become a better own. Those who merely stand around nd point out the bad points with- ut showing how these can or could made better are of no use what- ver. If we love to hold up some other ity as the ideal city in which to live, f, when we meet strangers, we are hshamed of New Britain, if we have ot a good word for our own town, ow, in the name of all that is'good hnd holy, can we expect others to say good word for it? We have always noticed this: If he man from home has nothing good o say for his own home town there hre few outsiders who will take his place as & “booster.” It is true in pvery sphere of life,—in every phase bt human activity. If a man insists pon telling you how thoroughly bad he is, there will come a time when lyou will agree with him. If the stores in New Britain are as rrible as they are painted,—not by he brush, but by the tongue—how it there are any sales made over the unters? Why is there any trading here at all, if the varlous houses of commerce In other cities so far excel our own? We have, after long years, found this | to be the ca If people go to the same store twice and inquire for the samg articles without having them will very soon find some way of get- ting the desired merchandise. It Is the old law of supply and demand. ‘Wherever there is the demand, there must ever be the supply,—if the goods are made. It New Britain people can see no good in any of the public services ren- dered by the officials of New Britain; if New Britain people fail to foster or nourish a public spirit, whom, may we ask, do they think will do it? We have also seen this: No one from any other town is going to come in and tout the horn of a town not his own; that is, as a permanent proposi- tion. There might be a certain amount of camoutlage; but in the long run it remains for the home town folk to say the good words,—it remains for them to cultivate the public spirit. If we, as people of New Britain, do not ‘“‘boost” New Britain, who do we imagine will perform the work? Do we expect the people of Hartford to go around bragging about the greatest hardware center in the world? Do we think that the men and women cf ‘Waterbury are going to forget the Brass City in order to act as advertis- ing agents for New Britain? We have always found this ag the regular working orde: The man from Hartford will talk Hartford. The man from Waterbury will sing Waterbury. The man from Bristol will tell you about Bristol and its rapid groyth, and its mayor, and all that. The\man from Meriden will re- cite the praises of Meriden. The man from Bridgeport will have something to say of Bridgeport. Tke man from New Haven might mention Yale Uni- versity; but he will aways say some- thing about New Haven. The man from Torrington will say Torrington and repeat it. The man from Middle- town will have a word or two about Middletown. Even the man from Plainville, dry as it is, will wax elo- quent about Plainville. Now, why is it that the man from New Britain, and we speak here of the average man,—why is it he gets out his hammer and begins to play or re- produce something ;that sounds like the Anvil Chorus ‘the moment the name of this town is mentioned. Why is it? Has New Britain a bad name throughout the state? Is it in disre- pute among the New England states? Is it convicted by the bigger clties throughout the nation? No, there is nothing the matter with New Britain that we can see. It is a good town, a very good town. Yet it does not get the moral support from its populace it should get. When strangers-come to town they are told at once the bad features of New Brit- aln. They are not apprised of its goofl points. This is wrong. The time has come when we must think these things over, when we must hold a aif- ferent view of the situation. The time has come when each and every man and womean in this town must become a ‘“boom town” man and wo- man, Let them know where New Brit- ain stands, and let them also know we stand behind it. —— THE POOR COAL DEALERS. And so it came to pass, as they say in the Scriptures, that the price of coal for the city of New Britain was reduced. Instead of paying the ex- horbitant prices charged ‘by the re- tail dealers here, and without which they swore they could not do busi- ness, we shall hereafter have coal at a fairly reasonable price. And, what is more, the retailers will still be do- ing business at the same -old stands. For, what they say to the contrary notwithstanding, they will continue to thrive and prosper. They are not as badly abused as they would have us believe. If the truth were known, they are as well off as could be ex- pected. To this date we have heard of few coal dealers going into bankruptcy. Some may ‘retire; but the vast majority of them go,on as long as they so elect. e When the Herald waged its cam- paign for cheaper coal,—some months ago,—the coal dealers, through their spokesman, told of the oppreasion un- der which they suffered. Theéy were very badly abused. As they put it, they were selling coal at a loss. And this in order that the people of New Britain might not suffer from the pangs of zero weather during the ap- proaching winter. The coal men are nothing 'if not sympathetic. Rather than see a populace of gome 60,000 people freeze to death they. would lose all the year's profits. We have always admired this spirit of the coal dealers. They would suffer a loss at any time in order that thelr old line customers might reap the benefit of good warm houses. It i{s a cruel pub- lic that does not recognize this altruia- tic trait in the men who furnish the necessarles of life,—and coal s a necessary, especially in New England. Now the price of coal in this oity | sum of $9.65 a ton. | a growihg 1dea the price should have produced, the proprietor of that store | | posed to be supreme. has been reduced. Instead of paying eleven dollars or ten dollars and & half for a ton of broken, egg, stove or nut coal, the consumer may now get , this commodity for the much lesser | At that, we have ‘ i been fixed at the even figures,—say | $9.50 a ton, or even nine dollars; but | those who made the prices are sup- | They may have set the figures too high, they may have | set them too low. In the first case the public will suffer. In the second in- stance the dealers will be at a loss. Yet, we venture to say that if the dealers are asked to sell their coal at too low a cost there is not one of them who will be forced to close his place of business during the coming winter.”* We shall watch and see. And, if there is any one who is forced to close down the old coal yard and tura to another business to make a living ‘we shall extend to him our most hum- ble apologies. He has been sadly abused. - And it is not right. The poor fellow.

And most of us don't like to exhibit even such obscure sympathy as this for the enemy. Then like a bomb comes the news that the government has just pur- chased the largest sausage in the country, an air sausage—the first dirigible the Navy has ever owned, (and it may be the last). Fortu- nately it bears no taint in the Yankee crispness of its name “DN-1." Offi- clally these letters stand for Dirig- ible Naval. Number One.

Official published report ‘describes this War Baby as a non-rigid gas bag, 175 feet long, 50 feet deep and 35 feet at its greatest beam. Internal volume is 115,000 cubic feet, which when filled with hydrogen gas gives a total lift of 7,000 pounds. Suspended from the balloon—why deceive ourselves?—is a oar bullt up of light open framework.

For naval work the dirigible has several advantages over a heavier than alr aeroplane. It can hover. And hovering—waiting, is one of the best little things a good Spy does. An aeroplane must buzz around like a hungry mosquito and use up all its fuel and die; or else sting the sleep- ing enemy Into enraged and prema- ture fury of wakefulness. It is said that the hovering Zeppelins saved the German Fleet at Jutland. An aeroplane must land on water. A dirigible may clear the roughest seas and settle easily upon a warship’s deck. To embark it sim- ply lets go and floats up. Two vital disadvantages doom the dirigible to military nonentity. It presents such a magnificent target, and it can’t maneuver any’ faster than a cow with hookworm—with odds on the cow. But why should it maneuver, when it can sit in the air with great and grim complacency and train its heavy guns whithersoeVver it darff pleases to train them.

Per Capita Oirculation of Money Hav- ' ing Risen to Highest Known Mark, Many Idle Dreams Are Indulged. (Boston Post).

It was the man who was challenged, by the way, who was the first to quit. In a sense, this war of the nations is just that kind of a contest. Lloyd George asserted at the very begin- ning that the side which had the last hundred million pounds would win.

This is the tale of a dog brought here by Edward Corbett, San Francis- co. It concerned Alaska Jack, pioneer of Fairbanks, Alaska, and a thorough Irish terrier in strain and character. Corbett was bringing him to New, York to his master, Dr. James E. Fuller, San Francisco, who is waiting to go abroad with a Red Cross unit. Just out of Albany, Alaska Jack, who had been lying quietly on the deck watching with tense eyes the flickering rays of the searchlight that played about for the passengers’. imusement,isuddenly rose and snjffed ¢ eagerly. Then over the deck rail he went into the river. 5 Mr. Corbett and other pasyengers begged the captain to send a boat off (0 pick up the dog, but the captain sould only slow down the engines and foilow the dog with the searchlight. ihe terrier swam a straight course ihrough the still water toward a Jaunch whose lights cleamed on the port bow about 200 feet away. Then Mr. Corbett says, he reallzed that all was well. Dr. Fuller is an enthusiastic yachtsman “Ahoy, Jim Fuller!” he yelled. A voice from the launch answered bacic in amazement: “Yes; what is it . “I thought so.”” Corbett said. Then cried: “Hey, Jim, that's your dog, Alaska Jack swimming to you; pick him up.” And the passengers lining the rails saw Alaska Jack's bedraggled form lifted to safety by his master— so Mr. Corbett and others say. —Milwaukee Journal.
