Belvidere Residents to Oppose Increase in Tax Residents of Belvidere, one of the sections of the city formerly in the Mirst taxing district only, but which the charter revision committee plans to bring within the second district, will oppose that move, according to School Committeeman E. 0. Kil- bourne. The objection is based on the fact that policing and sewer sys- tems are not the same as in the cen- ter of the city and therefore taxes should be proportionately lower. The revisionists have tentatively adopted the proposed extenslon of the taxing district, but will take a final vote this week. The matter will then go to a public hearing and finally to the council before being recommended to the legislature. A churéh at Santa Rosa, Cal., was bullt from the wood of a single red- wood tree. E—— THE HERALD The A-B-C Paper NEW BRITAIN DAILY HERALD, MONDAY, JANUARY 1, 1023, 10 Commandments Like Rail Fence Standing Befo You Must Tear It Down to Get Past, Rev, John L, Davis Tells Bible Class Members, Rev, John L, Davis was at his best yesterday when he delivered the first of a series of sermons on the Psalms to Everyman's Bible Class. Owing 10 the fact that many of the mer were out of town ever New Year's the attendance was not as large as the average, although there were almost 100 present Rev, Mr. Psalm, and roferred to the book of wisdom or philosophical litera ture of the Hible, Taking the first verse of the Psalm, “Dlessed is the man that walketh not in the counsels of the ungodiy,” he said the man who does not follow the advice of wicked companfons would be a happler man than one who does, The man who tollows advice of evil friends, aceord- ing to the minister, will have a false conception of the world and a false idea of human relations. “'Do the other man or he'll do you' theory is the philosophy of the ungodly,” said she minister, “and will wreek and ruln any life or any na- tion that follows It," Russia Godless Country, “Russin is where she is today be cause she has lost her faith in God, he declared, Those who use the church as shield for shady transac- tions often classed as “hypocrit were flayed soverely by the pastor who said they were “standing in the way of sinners,” meaning that the: were obstructions to the sinner's progress towards the path of right- eousness, The man who refuses to Join the church because he says there are a lot of hypocrites there, did not escape scourging by the minister, who sald it was the duty of the first man to get closer to the church than the man he criticised and not let a hypo- crite stay between him and the church, “If he is between you and the chureh, he is closer to the church than you are,” he said, “If you get a counterfelt dollar, are you going to refuse all other dollars? If you find a rotten apple dropping off a tree are you going to refuse to eat any of the fruit of that tree?" he demanded. He referred to a statement by the author of “The GI of Tashion,," “The Mirrors of Washington,” etc., who said the members of younger set in England were influenced by the frankness of Margot Asquith’s writ- ings and were getting the same feel- ing of disregard for the customs and feelings of the country. They were characterized as “sitting in tie seat of the scornful.”” “The only thing that will save the world from anarchy and bolshevism is to get back to Christianity,” he said. Speaking of certain classes mentioned in the above named books, he thundered. ‘“These high soclety people sit at their pink teas and card parties until one and two o'clock in the morning making jokes about God.” He painted a word picture of the ‘progress backwards" of a young man. When he is a boy he goes to the house of worship, later he is seen standing outside smoking with his gang and later he does not go near the place at all. “He walks, stands and finally sits in the counsels of the wicked."” Going To Heel Through Rail Fence. The Ten Commandments were de- scribed by the minister as a *“Ten rail fence built by God around the mouth of hell. If you go to hell you go through a 10 rail fence and you'll have to tear it down to get there.” “The man who believes in God and prayer to a higher power is worthy to govern a church no matter what else he believes,” he said. “The man who refuses to shoulder his responsibilities in the community is like the ‘tree that standeth by the rivers of water that bringeth forth no fruit.' " The man who has no consideration for the rights of his fellowmen or the | laws of his country might prosper for a time, but the community will find him out, he stated and the righteous man shall be the more prosperous in worldly goods in the end. He said, “There are men who| haven't a cent, who if they wanted| to borrow $100,000 on their character could get it.” “If you are living for a good time or a life of sin, that life will end at the grave. There is no bridge to carry it into another world. *The way of the ungodly shall perish.' " There were visitors present from New Haven, New York and Brooklyn. One man present from New York spoke a few words from the floor in which he pointed out the great eco- nomic asset the class is to the city. A visitor who received an enthusias tic welcome was KErnest P. Champ, of London. Mr. Champ has decided to make his home in New Britain and was so impressed with the class that he immediately signed up as a mem- ber of the white army. The red army had 152 present, the white 60 and the blue 169, making a total of 381 altogether. the first his sermon, Psaling as Davis took in opening The American Journal of Health after a most rigid analysis of Baker's Flavoring Extracts says: “No better or purer article ever offered.”—advt.

This statement was made by German Chan- cellor Cune in the course of a speech before the Hamburg bourse yesterday, The chancellor's revelation was the first official admission that the Germans had recently undertaken serious steps to placate German war apprehensions, and incidentally dis. pose of the recurrent French accus- ations that Germany was arming for a new war, Unnamed Medium The German new years war pact was proposed to through the medium of an unnamed power, probably either Switzeriand or Holland, and provided for a sol. emn pledge by all the powers inter. ted in the Rhine that none of them wage war on the others for a genera. tion, without active authorization of their people as expressed through a popular referendum In all the coun- tries involved, The German government stipulated that a world power which was not interested in the Rhine %hould be guardian or trustee of this pledge. Such an obligation, Chancellor Cuno stated would commit each nation to a peace policy and would afford the most secure guarantee concelvable,” Terms Rejected “To my regret,” sald the chancel- ior, “France has seen fit to reject our proposal.” The major part of the chancellor's speech was devoted to a discussion of reparations and their effect on the nationzl and international situation, He gave thebarest outlines of the new German proposals, declaring that the government had decided to name a definite sum, which it believed it would be able to pay off through the aid of a system of domestic and for- eign loans. He expressed strong ap- proval of the sentiments voiced by the American secretary of state at New Haven and believes Mr. Hughes' views closely tallied with those entertained by the Germans. PLENTY OF ARMS FOUND IN EUROPE War Promoters Dealing in Large Underground Trade Paris, Jan. 1.—The fact that there 100 ope with W supplies on hand, which were 4 for & song These supplies slowly have been changing hands ltalians distributed to all comers large Bumbers of guns and cannen captured frem the Aus: trians, the total valwe of which Ia 1915 reached possibly a billien del. lars, and the post war value of which was possibly a million or se.™ American travelers 1n Jugosiavia have been mystified at seelng what appeared to be American soldiers lounging about the vallway stations They were Serbs wearing joblot Ameriean uniforms, sold cheaply by the United States and resold to the Jugesiay government, One of the standard propaganda eharges made by the Greeks against the Turks, and conversely by the Turks against the Greeks, was that the enemy was wearing American uni- forms as & ruse to penetrate lines without being fired on, The evident answer was joblot American uni. forms, The governments of Europe seem to have taken little notice of this con- trabanding, During the various per. iods of the Hritish occupation of Constantinople, British subjects are sald to have sold to the Turkish Na. tionalists either discarded Diritish war material, or else Turkish war mater. lal that had been captured by the Diritish, Much In Adrianople, At one time there was a large quan- tity of war material at Adrianople, with the keys of the storehouses in the hands of an Allled commission which had orders to destroy it. This the commission apparently falled to do, and somehow the storehouses were gradually emptied, Small wars and revolutions have been so frequent in Europe, since the close of the great war, that the aver- age citizen no longer attempts even to remember them, A war went on in Galicla for two years, almost unno- ticed. Poles were opposed to Ukraln- lans, 100,000 men were engaged. Each slde bought supplies wherever they were for sale, notably in this case in Vienna and Budapest. Then there have been new armies to equip, as in Jugoslavia, Czechoslovakia and Ru- mania. Serbia recently voted $15,00,- 000 for armaments. Russia hasu sed up enormous quantities of material during her various war and revolu- tions since 1917, Not a little of Europe's cast off arms has gone to Egypt, to Syria, to Arabla, to Persia, and to the hinter- lands beyond the Caspian. The Af- ghans, among others, have equipped an important army, Portugal and Spain, in particular, have had their share. Dealers in Europe have made shipments to the warring revolution- ists of China. While these smaller wars have been able to keep going indirectly by rea- son of the supplies gathered by the various great nations participating in the general war, the one thing that costs them real money is powder. The powder of the general war has long since been used up, and anybody who wants to start a new war today must first find something like a million dollars a month for the single item of powder. This is the sum needed to keep an army of a hundred thousand men on the firing line. If the war maker cannot see that far ahead, he had better think twice about his war, MONITOR SURVIVGR is still a large underground trade in munitions of war throughout Europe has been disclosed through the recent charges of British newspapers that the French government had supplied the Turkish Nationalist army with the wherewithal to defeat the Greeks, and possibly to defeat the British in the vicinity of Constanti- nople. Information reaching Paris is be- lieved to disprove this broadcast statement against the French. On the contrary, it is affirmed that no small part of the Turkish military supplies was obtained in London, through a firm partly British, and certainly with no Turk sympathies. When Ismet Pasha, head of the Turkish peace delegation at Lausanne and organizer of the main Turkish army, was in Paris lately he said: “My war materials were obtained from American, British, Italian, French, Greek and Russian sources; 1 played no favorites. “Much of it came from the Greeks themselves,” Ismet Pasha continued. “T waited until T had a good supply on hand, collected by agents operat- ing in Europe. I did not waste any of my supplies until I was ready for a general drive against the Greek in August. Like the American officers at Bunker Hill, I instructed my artil- lery and infantry officers to wait un- til they saw the whites of the eyes of the enemy, and then to shoot. When the Greeks began to retreat, we got the very large stores they had collected. We are grateful to them for some very fine fleld guns, made in England. “There does not seem to be much | sentiment in this business of furnish- ing munitions to countries anxious to fight each other. The dealers will sell to all comers so long as cash is paid on delivery. There is a firm operating in Holland that will sell any kind of gun in any quantity, and deliver it on the high seas if ports are lacking. Firms in London will do the same. Trieste, at the head of the Adriatic, has become notorious as a place to buy war munitions. There are other agents for war goods | located in Alexandria, in Constanti- nople, in various places in the Bal- kans, and in Paris. Germans Good Sellers, “One of the most successful sellers of war goods is a German firm, the, members of which were once connect- ed with Krupps. They will supply anything asked for, including French munitions. Much of the material be- ing sold is new. Twenty-six factories are said to be working in Russia, and war material may soon become Rus- sla’s chief export. “The general war left, not only the | United States, but each of the nationgare affected on the left side. DIES AT AGE 0F 7 Charles A. Burr Was Veteran Mover of Meriden Meriden, Jan. 1.—Charles A. Burr, 78, of 46 Murray street, the well known bullding mover, believed to be the last survivor, of the nawal battle between the Monitor and the Merri- mac during the Civil war, died at his home Sunday morning at 2:45 o'clock _after an {illness dating from last August. Mr. Burr was born January 12, 1845, and at the age of 16 years en- listed from New York state in the United States navy. He wuas onc of a detachment of the navy sent to 1nan the Monitor as John Eriesson's ‘cheese box on a raft” was called, as it steamed out to meet the Confeder- ate sea monster, the Merrimac. Great Naval Battle, The history of that battle is too well known to need re-telling now, but Meriden long has been proud that one of its citizens should have played such an important part in checking the sea power of the seceding states. Mr. Burr was a very patriotic man and refused to apply for a pension, notwithstanding the fact that he, with other members of the crew, was told by Abraham Lincoln, then president of the United States, that if he ever wanted anything from the govern- ment, he could have it as a reward| for the service rendered. | Mr. Burr was an active worker at his trade of moving buildings until the middle of last summer, and be- lieved all the pension money should go to those who were wounded or who were unable to support them- selves. Mr. Burr continued in the naval service after the historic battle, and was promoted to be a petty offi- cer, After Lee's surrender he was| wounded in a skirmish with a band of guerrillas, who attacked Dutch fort on the James river. Mr, Burr had a piece of the hull of the old Merri- mac, which he kept as a souvenir of the battle which changed the whole plan of naval architecture. After the war Mr. Burr came to Meriden to live and in 1867 built the house in which he lived for 55 years. He was married that year and with |his bride went to live in his new house. He engaged in the business of moving buildings, and his fame as an |expert mover of buildings spread all |over the state.
