RAM Quiet sinceri will mourning of New Britain people gen- erally over the death of Carl 8, Ram- sey. The work to which he gave most of his young manhood in this city was of a nature to bring him into almost daily contact with the patrons of the store in which he was interested, and through such contact, be- cause of his unvarying courtesy and thoughtfulness, admiration and respect a man of his fine, straightforward character de- serves. A deeper feeling of real loss will come to those who were more closely associated with Carl Ramsey only be- cause to them was given the privilege of calling him their friend, for he was one of the men of whom deeper ap- preciation. comes as acquaintance, deepening into intimacy, brings true friendship, that valued possession of men. In thorough appreciation of their " loss sympathy is extended especially + to family and relatives. mark the personal he was accorded that COAL HERE. There is plenty of coal in this city to last for two months if the demand remains normal. If, however, people become agitated over the coal strike and “stock up” there will be a serious shortage here as the result. A few selfish people will thus jeopardize the comfort of the great majority. This is the situation in regard to both hard and soft coal. Needless to « say the right thing to do is for con- sumers to purchase only what they need and no more. If it has been their habit to put in their winter's supply this summer it is presumed that they there will be no objection to their doing that, as the coal dealers make this statement with the normal consumption in mind. This summer, however, or this spring, there should be no altering the customary manner of purchasing if the welfare of all the people is to be considered. It is believed that the local dealers would prefer that no one put in next winter's supply now. At any rate that course would make the local situation safer. A shortage of coal in this city would bring a delay in the approach of better times that are looked forward to for this spring and early summer. No one can af- ford to place any obstacle in the way of that happy time. REAL WORK NEEDED It is time to make “Americaniza- tion” more than merely a thing to theorize about. “The plan of Americanization Direc- tor James I2.

Hope is not lost that people of this community do think something of the future of the country, of the city. I're- quently it is shown in various “cam- palgns” and “drives" and in welfare work, that New Britain has a great body of public spirited people.

There would be quite as many lovers of the sensational and " curious people in any audience gathered to hear her as there would be lovers of music. If Miss Mary was in popr voice probably she would be able merely to open her lips, go through the contortions of singing and have some vaudeville ‘“artiste” do the singing back scenes and many would not know the difference.

These places are quite too obvious and prosaic. No matter where she really wants to go it is quite important for the safe of publicity that she sail for some locality the mention of the name of which will arouse at once naughty thrills. So it is announced that she sails for Monte Carlo. And all this may be sald without deprecating Miss Garden's art. One may admit without a blush that he would shear her himself were the chance to offer, ENGLAND—U. S. TIES. The practical ties between England and the United States, growing closer and closer every day whether we like it or not, are pointed out merely as facts. Circumstances, aided and abet- ted by Lloyd George almost openly, and viewed at least calmly at Wash- ington, are fastening those ties tight- er Now one of the greatest of all ties, if not the greatest, has been woven. That is the tie of money. England owes us a huge sum and so does France. Irance owes England almost as much as she owes us. England in- dicates that she will pay us our fin- terest, at the same time telling France that she must pay her, England, part of what she owes England. England knows that nothing makes a person so popular with another, or a na- tion so popular with another nation, as to impose no obstacle in the way of paying a just debt. It may easily be imagined that England, being in the best financial condition of any of the countries of Europe, which is not saying a great deal, is most ready to facilitate payment to the United States whece such payment will bring [ her still closer to the United States in | interest. | Irance sees the prospect of getting | very little money, comparatively speaking, from Germany this year.

OIL TOWNS GROW QUICHLY IN OKLA. Prairies Soon Converted Into Municipal Corporations Stetson Oklahoma City, Okla., April 6.— Like mushrooms that spring up over night, Oklahoma's oil. towns have pushed their way into existence from the barren prairie or the rock-strewn hillside. In the wake of the “‘wildcatter,” the lease sale and the inevitable derrick, these towns have reached their growth in a twinkling ‘and flourished on the golden pot of oil found at the end of the rainbow. With their un- painted buildings of flimsy structure, these ephemeral villages blazon the trail of the oil scout who has crossed hill and dale in search of the under- ground treasures of petroleum. The latest addition to Oklahoma's oil towns is Shidler. A few months ago its site was known only as the southwest quarter of section 28, in Osage county. But that was before the Osage lease sale held in Paw- huskalast December, when oil com- panies and promoters paid $8,000,000 for leases on Indian lands. Then drilling began, and what had been barren plain, on the morrow was the site of a bustling town. Shidler has a school house, like towns of more sober growth. It was built from funds donated by lumber companies when a school census re- vealed that 42 children in the village craved a chance at the “Three R's.” Then, too, Shidler is a railroad term- inus, for the 12-mile line of steel from Foraker comes to an abrupt end in this ail-made village. And it has its romante. Seven months before Shidler sprang from the prairie, T. A Gale, a young engineer, married an Osage Indian girl, the owner of many acres of opfl.lmm, the site of the fuy ture village. Now the Gales live in town, along with hundreds of other folk. Whiz-bang—a word familiar to the doughboy who fought mud and Ger- mans in trénches in France-—was the banks, schools, churches. Among these, which were brought into the world by the discovery of oil, are Healdton, Wilson, Cushing, Garber, Shamrock, Yale, Boynton, Slick and Leggs. The modern city of Tulsa is pri- marily an oil town, although few are the derricks that can be seen from the roofs of its skyscrapers., When the Red Fork oil flelds was discovered in 1001, Tulsa was a straggling village. The boom was absorbed by the towns of Red Fork and Sapulpa, which passed Tulsa in population. A year later, however, when the Glenn pool was opened up, it was Tulsa that ben- efited. It was the only nearby town where office room was procurable and there the oil men flocked to estab- lish their headquarters. Now the city claims a population of 85,000, and be- cause of its rapid growth is known as “The Magic City, GERMAN SPIRIT DEAD Leader of Democratic Party Declares Militarism in That Country is Gone Yorever. Copenhagen, April 6. — Philip gcheidemann, leader of the German Democratic party, while here told The A ciated Press that German mili- arism was dead forever. The spirit of democracy had levelled Germany to that extent that the German repub- lic could easily withstand any reac- tionary a. ults. Foreign countri s, he said, exagger- ated the political importance of the power of the German reactionaries. The Communists were no real danger either. They were only gradually groping their way into the German trade unions n order to learn their political manners.” Discussing the relations of Germany with Rus: Herr Scheidemann said the German government had negotiat- ed with Warl Radek, Russian Soviet agent in Berlin. He expressed the opinion that the murder of Count Mirback, for which no apology had been received, presented no real bar- rier against the two nations arriving at an understanding. FLOOR 3 !
