THE DOST PUPIDS. . Bhere has been a perceptible fall- *’)‘ off In the attepdance at the Ele- mentary Evening School, the classes ‘of wiich are held each Monday, Wed- Deeday and Friday evenings at the anm School building. The cause gvanced for thm\condjtlou has been ribed to the war; that is, some of ithose who attended the classes for the porpose of learning the English mnguage are now afrald they might [be drafted into the ranks of Democ- racy in too strenuous a fashion. Men and women of foreign birth bave been students at the Elemen- tary Evening School. With them jhave gone to the classes certain grad- uates of the graded schools in this city, boys and girls who had success- fully passed the oxaminations of the eighth grade.

If, on the other hdnd, the lack of [attendance at™he evening school has about because night work in the factories demands too much time attention of those who would American lessons, then the sit- jumtion is different.

The Herald foday prints seventy- five names of enemy-aliens living in New Britain. In this case the names jare all of Germans, men who came to this country at some time or other, set themselves up In business or divers other occupations here, and failed to take out their naturalization papers.

When the arguments reached sach heights as to bode ill for those who entered them we point- ed out the folly of talk. This was at a time when pro-Germanism was run- ning riot, when the adherents of the Kaiser knew no bounds for brag- gadocio. In those olden days, just before April of this year, all were well ac- quainted with the men who shouted loudest for the Kalser. Their pulpits were the house-tops. They were pro- German and proud of it. They prom- ulgated their propaganda to the four ends of the country. Kven our en- trance Into the war did not dampen their- ardor, what though the activi- ties of our Department of Justice agents put a quietus on their open activities. war Now changes have come, and with theém a different status of affairs. We are firmly ensconced in this war, and the possibilities are we will not be out of it until the Hapsbur: the Hohenzollerns are defeated the death-knell is sounded for Democ- racy and Uncle Sam. This being the case, we must know who is with us and who is against us. The names of all enemy-alicns in this country will soon be published. The mere act of publishing them will serve as a be- ginning to the process of elimination. The wheat can' easily be separated from the chaff. The good can be set apart from the bad. The real, true enemy-aliens can be known. Those who are such in ‘name only can enjoy the same confidence they have in the past. To all these, of course, must come certain restrictions meted out by the United States Government. g In due time the names of all those enemy-aliens of Austro-Hungarian antecedent will be published. The work of compiling this information has as yet not been started by the authorities in Hartford. When it gets fairly under way and when all the facts are at hand the Herald will do in that instance what it does today. It will publish the list in toto. It is good to know thy neighbor. s and or THE MORALS OF SOLDIERS. For some reason or other there are those who everlastingly profess con- cern over the spiritual condition of Uncle Sam's fighting men. Recogniz- ing that the men who abandoned the mufti for the khaki are having their bodles well taken care of by petent physical instructors the moral- fsts now query, What about the spir- itual welfare of our boys? com- Well, what about the spiritual wel- fare of our boys? And, what is the main question, what about their morals? Tt all seems to revolve about that point. in New York and other states recently visited ‘army cantonments,” saw in- numerable young ladies flocking about the soldler-heroes, and imme- diately concluded that all was not well; that there were not enough chaperons to go around in army life.

(London Times) Now we know what it felt like t live through the Napoleonic wars anc the struggles which preceded them We can see “in clear dream and sol emn vision” the days in the middle o the eighteenth cntury, when this cour try, with its astute and not too re liable ally, Frederick of Prussia, bat tled with France and Austria, whe disaster followed disaster and Wi’ liam Pitt made the boast he wa faithful to redeem—“My Lord., I ar sure I can save this country, and nc body else can.” We can picture th time when we were fighting a losin battle with the American Colonie as moving picture apparatus, are part and parcel of the plant. Wwe little sympathy with those who while worrying themselves have must know each and every man with whom we come in contact. We mugt know who are with us and who are against us. In a word, we must know who are Americans above all other things, or enemy-aliens holding allegiance to a foreign flag, a flag agalnst Which the Stars and Stripes are battling. There are many good men women who come under the head of enemy-aliens. It is not the intention o€ this newspaper, or any other news- over and who are and over the morals of soldlers are at the same time casting reflection upon the good character of the men in the notional service. A soldier is more ' than a soldier,—he is at the same ( time human. Fe is open to the same | temptations that beset all men, when i these pitfalls are thrown in his path; | but the national army and the navy } ag they are now conducted mostly all of these things have been removed. The morals of the soldiers are as good | as can be expected from mere men. when France and Spain hoped t take for Pitt's victorier a / revenr that would have destroyved our clair to rank among the great nations o Europe, when Denmark, Sweden Prussia and Austria formed an arme neutrality to threaten the sea powe on which our hope depended, anc when we found it hetter to have Hol land as an open ehemy than as @« treacherons ncutral. There was an ignominious summe: when the French and Spanish fleet commanded the channel and lay fo nearly a month before the indignan and humiliated eyes of the people o Plymourh. There was anotherssum mer when the French landed in Je' sey. Ior three years Gibraltar was i grave peril. [Enemy cruiscrs infeste our coasts and our fleet more tha: once lost command of the sea, India was threatened, and the French seemed likely to undo the work of Clive; while at home we were squab- bling and rioting about Catholic emancipation. Posterity has becn content to remember about this war that we were beaten by our own kith and kin in America. Contemporaries knew that they had trembled for Gi- braltar, for India, and for Canada, and that they had kept them safe through a war in which Great Dritain was without a single triend or ally, and during a great part of which she stood world in arms. Let through thosc evil days tell how it struck a contemporary: “The cmpire was shaken and con- Vulsed 1n almost every quarter. Do- mestic faction pervaded all the de- partments of Gevernment, infected the navy, and manifested “itself in every debate in either House of Par- liament. A large proportion of socie- ty here at home regarded the Ameri- can Rebellion with favorable eves ond secratly wished success to the cause. Our distant possession, unprotected, fell into the hands of France and Spain. Our commerce was intercept- cd, captured, and greatly diminished. lZa¢h year seemed to produce new foreign adversaries and to augment the public distress. Futurity presented to all men a most discouraging pros- pect, and peace appeared to be not only distant, but unattainable, except by such sacrifices of national revenus, tefritory and honor as could not be conteraplated without dismay.” . WIHAT EVE STARTED. (Waterbury Democrat) “Since Eve started to make a skirt of leaves and then decided an apron was big enough, woman has had a cute way of starting things and never finishing them."—Well-Known Social Writer. That fig-leaf ong been the ind maybe the ion. The Biblical explanaiion for Eve's 1doption af clothes is that this ori- ginal garment was woman's first ex- pression of modesty, but this has not wholly satisfied the very exact, the .arment being so abbreviated and fig- leaves so abundant. Remember, she 'idn’t have to knit that garment; all she had to do was to gather leaves and festoon them on a fishline, or ‘omething equally as good, to pro- duce an example of modesty that vould go ringing down the ages. We've had a sneaking notion that when the lady set out to dictate the rst style in femjnine attire, she was irmly resalved to have no bother with dressmakers in hers, and so made a ew leaves go a long ways, but may- e the authority quoted above is ~ight.

In fact the fire started when Uncle Sam put the cotton growers in the South on the payroll, figurativély speaking.
