He says that the Senate of the United States is in as dense 1g- norance about our foreign relations as the Common Council of Keokuk. We do not believe that this is true of all the members of the Senate, but we think that the terms “dense” and “ig- norant’” are suitable in describing a few of the calamity howlers who, at a time when they should back the President to the utmost, devate valu- ecutive in disgraceful manner. Furthermore, we think the comparison employed by Senator Brandegee is rather tough on the members of the Common Council of Keokuk. a CAPTAIN the most desperate engagement thus wherein American troops have taken part against the Hun, a New Britain man’s heroic conduot has won for him exceptional commenda- tion. As told exclusively in the Her- ald last evning, Captain A. H, Gris- wold, formerly of Company I of this city, and now of Company €, 102d Infantry, proved that he of the same calibre as those other New Brit- ain heroes whose undaunted .courage caused the this eommunity to be written the history of our vious wars. He was willing to dle as other New Britain men have died in the great world conflict, but his dar- ing and valor brought him through a bloody battle with colors. There are words in our language adequate express the pride which filied the heart of every resident of this city upon learnng of the valiant deeds of our distinguishd Captain in the struggle at Seicheprey. But we can say of him that which constitutes the highest praise possi- ble—He is a true American soldier. A. H. GRISWOLD.
