They are of such order that those who read can- not fail to comprehend. They are of the nature that those who understand | must concur. There is but one way be accomplished ! and that is the separation of the pur- the dividing of the heads among the people of the lower classes. When this happens Germany, there will be made possible the nego- tiations which will eventually restore the world to its peaceful path. If there is but one way in which a world peace in which they may ple from the red, power taken from crown in can be brought on,—by nego- tiations with a German Government of the German people,—there are two ways which such a state can be in Germany. They are, first, a fight to the finish on the part of the Allies with a victorious ending in Berlin, and, second, the overthrow of the Hohenzollerns by the German peo- ple themselves. These things are patent, and part of the inevitable. The Imperial German Government as it now stands must go. in set up It is accused of every crime on the calendar and convicted by civilization. Treaties are to it as ‘‘scraps of paper.” Human life is in its eyes merely so much blood to be spilled. Honor | Law it knows not. is a word with which it i8 un- acquainted. It is not speaking terms with Liberty, Justice, or Free- dom. Murder is in its heart. As witness to the truth of these things ! we need but recall the rape of Bel- | gium, the sacking of the Cathedral at Rheims, the bombing of London, the sinking of the Lusitania, the murder of the nurse Edith Cavell, and so on down the long list of crimes com- mitted by the wanton Brandenburgers. In the sky, on the earth, and in the waters under the earth, has a bar- barous Germany committed her fiend- ish crimes. Lloyd George on has spoken to the point. President Wilson has formu- lated the program of peace. Presi- dent Poincare of France has time and time again enunciated the plans of a brave people. King Albert of Belgium has laid down the aims and aspirations of his people. Even the Bolshevik Gov- ernment of Russia, which refuses to deal the Brest-Litovs! with German peace delegates at Bastern German headquarters, and insists upon neu- tral territory, Stockholm, parleying, shows stands. The world has come to know the heart of the Imperial Government and, see- ing the rottenness therein, the world enunciates its war aims for such where it RIGHT OR WRONG? When Maximilian C. von Hoegen, the New Haven Pan-German who has been much in the limelight of late, undertook to fill out his questionnaire, | as required by the Selective Service Law, he grew abusive. Although Max is a citizen of the United States he is in sympathy with Germany. A law- yer, he considered well the boundaries of free speech, and took advantage of what he terms “constitutional rights” to add insult to the American people. Evidently he knew on what grounds he stood, for no minion of th undertook to stem his activities so, however, with eight Americans of New Haven.

All th er the of Tee speech ing a grand tirade, Max id his approval of defeated Brica at the hands of a victorious fmany.

If they are they are enemy-aliens, and no getting away from it. If they Americans they are friends. If the: jare enemy-aliens they should treated as enemy-aliens and not as friends. If they are friends they would not be guilty of such utterances. The | entire matter is simple ana needs but the careful consideration of duly appointed judges.

Worse vet, we see several such char- acters unceremoniously strung up to | the !amp-posts and telephone poles.

New Britain, Jan. 7, 1918. To the Editor of the Herald: s a reply to the request from . G. Hohenthal of Manchester to Mayor G. A. Quigley for co-operation in closing saloons at 10 p. m. Dr. Morris, noted Brain Specialist, says, “Man is the only mammnialta that kills his own kind directly and in that act, indicates that he is working ab- normally in opposition to nature's the preservation of a species, The mally reason why he works abnor- is because he has defective brain construction. Brain matter needs conservation at these critical time more so than fuel. We are at war with a powerful na- tion and not with our fellow citizens. Why divert attention to facts? It is about time the microbe “Pro- hibition” which seems to be the sub- jective point in view, was destroyed until after the war, Man is always an epidemic against nature’s resources, destroving prog- ress and wasting brain matter in order to further some fanatical fancy against his own kind. We need no suggestions from Mr. Hohenthal concerning our business in- terests in this city. I think we are fully competent to handle our own affairs. In order to push the war to a suc- cessful conclusion, I would like to have an ordinance enacted whereby Prohibitionists be compelled to work for living and be in the house every evening at 10 o'clock, thereby saving brain fuel which is as essential to suc- cess as coal. A LIBERTY BOND HOLDER, TAX PAYER AND PRODUCER. LS TO SPELLACY. chinist, of PPE S. E. Williams, a mas Fairview street was discharged last Saturday by Superintendent A. Buol of the New Britain Machine company. Williams alleges that Superintendent Buol discharged him because he gave out a story to the newspapers concern- ing seditious statements which he claims were made by a night watch- man of the factory. Mr. Buol believes 101 that Williams is responsible for what ! the night watchman said and conse- quently he discharged hoth Williams and the night watchman. Williams appealed to District Attorney T. Spellacy in order to protect his own ir- terests and has arranged for an agent of the district attorney to be present at a conference between Mr. Buol and himself in order to clear up, what Williams believes, is a misunderstand. ing.
