One reason which may be applied to President Wilson’s determination to attend the peace conference is h desire to support, person, the adoption of his points on which he believes peace can be effected and made permanent. Hints have come from abroad that there is an increas- ing opposition to some of the planks in his peace platform and it is pos- sible he wishes to attend the debates to throw his weight against these ob- jections, swaddling clothes. Although the Allied governments hailed with enthusiasm President Wilson’s program to end wars when this announced, since then foreign capitals have unofficial- allowed it to become known that they consider the points too general. Fault is found that they are possible of many interpretations and it is be- lieved President W a more elaborate and “more explanation This is true and 4 which JOURNEY. in still in their program was Iy should issue specific son 2 ecially of Points appear vague to the English mind. Point 2 deals with the freedom of the seas and Point 4 with the reduction of armaments, both of which are of vital interest to the British Empire. Under present inter- national law—or what remains of it ——~adopted at The Hague, a liberal freedom of the seas is extended to all nations, but the right of blockade during war is recognized. It is ques- tionable whether blockades would be permitted if Point 2 were approved. Of course the English can furnish a strong argument against such a course as it is admitted that the Brit- ish naval barrier in the North Sea since war was declared has been in- strumental in bringing about the downfall of the Central Powers. Reduction of armaments 1is also certain to arouse objections in Great Britain, which has vast overseas col- onies and dominions. Already it has been whispered BEngland will insist on a specific statement defining this point if it Is brought up at the Ver- eallles conference. Long trade routes must be protected, England will say, and a large navy will be essentlal. A general association of natlons, as outlined In Point 14, “for the purpose of affording mutual guarantees of po- ltical independence and territorial in- tegrity to areat and small states alike”, may also call for explanation. This is an altruistic project which may not be practicable. The League to Enforce Peace, a purely American 1dea which finds some support abroad, Is really a League to Enforce the Mil- lennium but certain dangers lurk in its program. Such a league might or might not bring about permanent peace but it is almost certair to mean he surrender of national military in- dependence to a central governing body. President Wilson is known to avor the fundamental principles of e league and may put his moral lorce into the scales in favor of it. Aside from the international aspect of President Wilson's Jjcurney the risdom of his decision is questioned. e immediate future lccms a jark night No one knows what hbout to occur. Pessimists who pre- ict dire internal trouble diring the of readjustment may be disap- pointed This may be true of botimistz, who believe America will eturn to the conditlons existing be- 'ore the war’ without any special guidance. Of the two beliefs, the lat- er is the more unsound. But what- ver the case may be, President Wil- on is nseded on this side of the At- ntic. His very presence instils con- idence the nafion and his ab- ence may have thie oppesite effect. is departure will be an error which, as is ay also into ! to pas ! seat. { weelks before the fir: SQUARE DEAL FOR PUBLIC.

CAPITAL AND LABOR At no other period American history has common sense been more in nece! This is especial- | ly true concerning the differences of opinion that are certain to arise be- tween Capital and Labor. Both sides are prevared for disagreeable disputes but neither should allow itself to become arbitrary in attitude and deaf to the other’s arguments. What may be considered the pre- liminary skirmish has taken place be- tween Willlam H. Barr, the National Founders’ Association, and Samuel Gompers, president of the American Fedcration of Labor. Mr. Gompers rtement | ry than now. president of construed a recently by Mr. by employers to reduce wages increase working hours. He promptly replied that organized la- bor would fight every effort to bring about ante-bellum would throw its whole maintaining the present and working schedule, orable the American has ever known. Mr. made threat Barr as a and to conditions and weight into wage scale the most fav- workingman Barr answers Mr. Gompers ) interests do not in- tend at this time to enter into a dis- pute concerning wages and hours. He emphasizes his belief that this is not the hour for strife. He points out that manufacturers will gladly con- | tinue the eight hour schedule and | high wages if they will not be destruc- tive of the whole industr fabric His most telling blow is contained in the statement: Labor’s product must be sold In competition with other countries and if it cannot be sold at the present high wage level it must nevertheless be sold and a 1educ- tion in wages automatically cre- ating a decrcased cost of living is preferable to unemployment. Mr. Gompers and Mr. Barr are sen- sible men. The country expects they and others in like positicns will deal with the labor situation or a basis of justice for all concerned and that America will not be the scene of strikes and ricting. Disorder need not | come if both sldes use their sound judgment. Neither has anything to gain and both have everything to lose | through a relgn of Bolshevism. by ng industrial THE NATION OF DESTINY. As General Pershing was the mili- tary crusader that lighted the fire of hope in a Europe at war, so Herbert Hoover and Edward N. Hurley are crusaders bearing a message of broth- erhood to a Europe peace, but torn and lacerated by conflict. The advent of General Pershing meant a guarantee of liberty for peoples liv- ing in the shadow of Teutonic avar- ice. Mr. Hoover and Mr. Hurley bear a guarantee of bread and life to those same peoples which are menaced the aftermath ci war—famine.

Nobody intends to slaughter the Jew# in Poland and, as vou say, “destroy democr by doing it. The Poles have always treated the Jews very gently for six hundred vears. | When they were persecuted in West- ern REurope they found a refuge in old Poland. It was the best medium | in which to grow because millions of Jaws are living peacefully on the ter- ritories of old Poland. The New Brit- ain Herald should not worry about imaginary dangers to the Jews of Po- land! How about the thousands of nfamous Jewish Bolsheviki in Russia, about Trotzky, alias Leijbs Bronstein, and his Jewish gang? What would the New Britain Herald do to them? New Poland will grant to Jews full civic rights. It will demand in return from the Jews to abandon the Yiddish jargon, a mixture of distorted German words and other linquistic fragments, and adopt the Polish as the language of every Jewish home in Poland, to send their children to Polish schools, to be honest and failr in commercial transactions with the credulous Polish ant and working man, easy preys “smartness;” to be.ready, in return for flull rights, to give 100 per. cent. services, and undivided loyalty to Poland’s national interests as the decent American Jew ta America. We want the Jew in Poland to be a true Pole and shall treat him as a brother citizen, We do not want and shall fight the Jew who refuses to be a Pole and wants to live on Poland as a foreign, imimical, inassimilable element, as a separte nation with strange habits and customs, with a foreign tongue, with a very selfish greedy commercial dis- ion, with political, social and rvacial policies dangerous to the wel- fare of the Polish nation. We shall fight the radical Jewish Socialist, the Jewish Bolsheviki without religion, nationality and morality. We shall fight the Jew whose only principles are “ubi bene ibi patria,” whose only ideals are ‘money and business.” Such ones are undesirable even in the 1B 2HE i Welcome are the Jews. the loyal 100 per cent. citizens of their respec- tive countries In regard to your views about Po- land. Poland is indebted to America for promises and knows America will keep her word. Poland's problem is not a philanthremic affair but the most important international problem to be settled at the peace conference. An independent. united, strong Poland means a weak Prussia. It will make ble a powerful anti-German Central Europe; is a condition nou” of a just and perma- :nt peace. We are glad that the Allies, after Russia's collapse, have understood the néed of a free Poland, not from humanitarian motives, but because of political necessity. Poland, in the past the defender of Christian- ity and civilization against the attacks of the Durks and Tartars, in the pres- ent war a nation who has suffered un- told tortures and ruin from the hordes of Germans, Magyars and Russians, is entering the court of nations not to be tried (as you think) but to receive back her stolen lands and liberties from those who have robbed her and apologies and support from those who had forgotten Poland until America came to make right and Justic supreme in international relations.

FRENGH CONTINUE INTO RHINE REGION Are Everywhere Received With Loud Acclaim by Givil Population Paris, French Monday, Nov. 18.—Progress troops advancing to occupy territory west of the Rhine is traced in by war oifice follows: “Our troops continue their march this morning and are being received with growing enthusiasm by the pop- ulations of the occupied regions. The ecnemy has abandoned enormous quantities of material, locomotives, railroad cars, automobiles and maga- sines of alh sorts. Thousands of French, Russian, English and Italian prisoners are entering our lines from German prisons. Their condition is indescribable. “In Belgium we have passed railroad running betwecen and Florenville. Further have reached the line of Hoffagne, Bertrix and Straimont. Our troops also are in the Jamoigile region south of Neuf Chateau. “In Lorraine we have upied St. Marie-aux-Chesnes, on the south bank of the Nied river, and are on the road toward St. Avold.

The message is addressed to governments of the United States, Great Britain, France and Ttaly. In view of the close economic rela- tions between the country west of the Rhine and the remainder of Ger- many, the preservation of which is nece development of Germany,” Dr. Solf asks the modification of some dozen points concerning this region. For instance, he sks permission for German owners to exploit as heretofore the coal, potash and iron ore mines and the general free us of the Rhine for transport within the old boundaries of the German empire. The foreign secretary also asks permission for free navigation by way of Rotterdam and the coast for the provisioning of Germany, the contin- uation of industrial pursuits on the left bank of the Rhine for the use of the remainder of Germany, and free railway traffic in occupied territory. The old frontier of the empire, in- cluding Luxemburg, Dr. Solf sug- gests, is to be regarded as the cus- toms boundary and custom duties are to be levied by Germany. Dr. Solf declares that without these modifications Germany will “advance toward more or less BRolshevist con- ditions which might become danger- ous to neighboring states. He repeats the previous protest against the surrender of means of transport and protests against ‘‘con- tinuation of the blockade.” He con- cludes by saying that attempts by German delegates to discuss these matters at Spa had been unsuccess- ful because the representatives there of the allied countries lacked the necessary powers.

Plainville Goes Ov; Also. 1 Stanley S. Gwillim, who was in charge of the campaign in Plainville, reported that Plainville had sub- scribed $10,407, its quota $9,000. He said that for P nville had been more or less as- sociated with New Britain in such en- terprises, and had been considered as a tail to a dog, ‘‘New Brita being the dog and wagging the tail.” He re- ported that the average subseription for Plainville people w $7.9 and said that if the other cities and towns in this district did not equal that average, Plainville could say that “'the tail wagged the dog.” B. D. Santi, a four minute speaker from the Prevocational Grammar school reported that the Grammar school and Prevocational Grammar school had subscribed 100 per cent and had subscriptions totalling $1,100. The Victory Boys and Girls have con- tributed §3,400. F. C. Gilpatric of the Stanley Works spoke in a half humorous, half serious maxnner. He said, “The ol diers went over and made great sacri- fices, thinking it worth while, and supposing that we would perpetuate the democracy that they fought to uphold.” He presented a simile, say- ing that men who advertise know that the goods advertised must be as good, ves, a little better, than they are rep- resented to be. He said that demo- cracy should be a little better than the standards set up for it. “It is Up to us to carry out our end of the bargain, so that, in the words of [Abraham Lin- coln, ‘our dead shall not have died in vain’,” he concluded. James Campbell, a four minute speaker from the High school, remort- ed that school to have subscribed 100 per icent. The campaign was carried on by the progress and efficiency com- mittees in the two buildings. Marcus White Gives Talk. The next speaker, Principal Marcus White of the Normal school, was warmly welcomed by those present. He said that when he was asked to speak he was told that for once in his life he must talk ‘“no sense,” therefore he was going to talk ‘nonsense” [le told several humorous storles, and very cleverly applied them to the cam- paign work. He told of a girl in school who was very much amused whenever he used the word “half.” Upon asking her the source of her merriment she replied, ‘Every time I hear you say ‘half’ T have to laugh’.” Mr. White said “That is the way with New Britain. It hae to laugh when it hears of half. It wants ‘to do everything whole, and that is the way it has carried out this campaign.” Americans are Supermen, Among an array of eloquent speak- ers, J. D. Roberts, a Y. M. C. A. work- er who has recently returned from France, stood above all the rest. Of the American boys he said, “You may believe all that has been said of them and then some. They are supermen.” He mentioned the instance when the Germans were within forty miles of Paris, and the Americans at Belleau Wood refused to retreat when the or- der came to do so, and saved Paris by driving the Germans out of their stronghold, even beating back the flower of the German army, the Prus- sian Guard that have never known defeat. He declared that the Ameri- can navy too, was the best in the world, and stated that for the most { part it was composed of hoys from 17 to 20 years of age. Mr. Robents then told of the work of the Y. M, C. A., ! Knights of Columbus and other or. ganizations in France, and the compe- tition between them to provide the home atmosphere for the boys FIRST He told of conditions facing soldiers, the many temptations in France for an idle army, and told what the war workers are doing to ‘combat these conditions. He said that there are no complaints from the soldiers, the combination of Ameri- | can humor and the iron which has | entered their souls preventing this. | “The boys who went from this coun- | try as boys are now men, yes, super- | men, and they have a new and mag- nificent philosophy of life and death.” He told of one incident when he | | | | the splendid showing that has been made | to the | | building where the sailors and soldiers | He declared that this would | being | some time heard a group of boys in a dugout singing “Lead, Kindly Light.” When| they reached the words, “The Nigh is dark and 1 am far from lll)me'r their voices broke and they could ¢ no further.
