CLAYTON GOODWIN A man of New Britain has died leaving an example of fidelity to trust, sincerity of thought and action and devotion to duty that is rarely equal- led. No person, assoclated in any way with E. Clayton Goodwin, could fail to feel the inspiration of his life, Young men, recalling experiences with him, speak of his compelling example of straightforwardness, Older men, dealing with him In business or mat- ters pertaining to the welfare of the city and especiully its children, felt the atmosphere of honest purpose which dominated him. For years a member gf a board which was often criticized” Mr. Goodwin's good faith and conscientious work on that board brought praise from the most bitter crities of its decisions. He was a quiet, almost retiring man who sought always to convince those whose, opinion differed from his by a simple marshalling of the facts as they had developed under his close scrutiny. And, at the end of his presentation of his case those who #till held contrary opinions held, too, a greater respect for the man who had unselfishly devoted his time and thought to matters which would have been no official concern of his had not the people repeatedly called upon him to take care of them for them. The tale of Mr. Goodwin's public life and private constructive activities is the sort of tale that discloses a firm, lovable character, not lacking in strength because of his gentleness; not wanting in force despite the un- obtrusiveness of his actions. He was the sort of man of the friendship of whom one is proud; the sort of a man who, when his avtivities cease, leaves a standard for others to follow if they would help to strength, courage and happiness their own, the people of their community—the people of the ‘world. "New Britain was proud of E. Clay- ton Goodwin. Those who knew him will hold his memory dear. WAR IN THE AIR. Recently people of this city have ‘had forcibly recalled to them the predictions made as far back as two years ago that the next war would be fought in the air. One United States Senator went so far as to predict the exact location of the first battle, namely over New York harbor. We saw, just the other day, seven army bombing planes flying over this city. Just now gome have seen mov- ing pictures of maneuvers and ment that our tected, covered single day. I'rom California comes the of the achievements of army aviators | army planes in their read the state- could pro- by our planes, in a| have coast be news in breaking several world records for | endurance, distance and speed when | they cruised in the air for over 47 hours. The fact worth emphusizing) is that they took on in mid-air fuel | for their plane no less than 15 times. | These aviators flew over 3,200 mllas' and made duration record of 37 hours and 16 minutes. Their speed records were as remarkable and by no means set a limit for such marks. The facts are emphasized, not for the purpose "ot complimenting oursclves on the American skill in the but r:{'hr-r’ for the purpose of indicating the pos- | sibilities of air work and the proba- | bility that the war will be literally true. With the memory of the impressive sight of those flew over this city gight o air, prediction “the next | fought in the air” is| bombing planes which in perfect align- ment, and the those pictured planes together with the of the air, that it is in this line that atest news we may well consider develop- ments will come and that the scrapping of capital ships, now going on, will not bring as much weakness | 10 a country as was at first supposed. | While this country should keep pace or even exceed the rate set by 8ther | nations and should become in the air as long as other nations are | 80 engaged, it ducing sea and land armament would sink in importance if there is to be Guiother war. supreme would seem that re- | to be disregarded the whole settlement | thought about it. | must { Whether AN OPENING WEDGE The very fact that the cosl confer. ences are continuing, and that well. founded intimations have come that both sides are inclined to make some slitght concessions, such as the opera- | tors' reported whilngness to give up their demand for arbitration, is en- | couraging. It would be and it s pre. | ¢ sumptuous for any person net fully aware of all the facta and causes for | complaint, to say arbitrarlly where the right lies. Many people imagine— to give just an example~~that by de. manding the &-hour day the miners |t are seeking shorter working hours, Such is not the case, The operators|t have consented ‘to this proposition, realizing that what the miners want is | e not shorter working days but rather more steady employment There is no reason to helleve that any one man or body of men is able, under the present conditions, to lay down a program that will be abs lutely fair to both miners and opera- tors, But there Is reason to believe that the force upon which we have relled to bring coal out of the ground is still at work, That force is public opinion, The people are not concerned, at the moment, with the merits of the case, The people do feel that no eir- cumstances warrant a stand by miners | t or operators that would endanger health, life and prosperity at this time, Get the conl out now, Is the cry, and then go to work carefully to try to reach an agreement that will be fair to both sides, 1If Lewis wanted a war he would al- low no consideration of demands which varied from those proposed. He is countenancing such consideration, It the operators were determined to “have it out” once and for all they would.not give up a single point upon which they had insisted at first. They are “considering.” The reason for this continuance of the discussion, this hope that the chance of an end to the strike for the time being is not gone, is the growing realization that public opinion demands sane action by miners and operators. Perhaps it may be repeated—if the strike is ended and an agreement reached it will be another victory for the people, IN SIMPLE WORDS Italy, a member of the League of Natlons, says it cannot settle her dis- pute with Greece, another member na- tion, Italy says that no agreements by members of the League take away a nation's right to defend herself or compel the righting of a wrong to her honor. Italy says she occupied the island of Corfu,to compel such action by Greece, just as France occupies the Ruhr to compel Germany to do right by her, There are two points here. Germany is not a member of the League. Greece is a member. Also, although agreements between members of the l.eague do not take away from a country the right to defend herself or to compel apology for an insult, those agreements do tell how a country shall not defend her honor. Those agree- ments explicitly state that a country shall not make war upon another ex- c’cpt under certain conditions and af- ter a certain lapse of time. ltaly says she has not committed an act of war, And Ttaly insists that she is the judge. Italy stands practically alone, un- less France may be considered doubt- ful., Belgium, the friend of France un- der all former circumstances, was glad to be in the League because the League guarantees to protect her agalnst invasion, If she agrees with Italy that occupation of Corfu is not an act of war, then how small would be the force of that League guaran- tee! Lord Cecil, ardent ILeague pro- ponent who came to this country re- cently to plead for the League, de-|s clares "I would point out that” certain articles of the covenant which show the League's jurisdiction of this mat- ter, “are to be found not only in the Treaty of Versallles but also in the treaties of St. Germain, Neuilly and the Trianon, and if these treatles are t! & of the new Europe will be shaken.,” The League, in other words, tells how a country may act in case a dis- pute arises. The League takes no right away from a country except the right to act without due consideration by representatives of other countries which wil) have to stand back of the country which the League decides is right. The League had arranged a !t method of peaceful settiement, guard- ing the world against the Impetuous, t unconsidered action of any one nation.

BExcept for a comparatively few fine buildings, Japanese structures are mere lath, paper and straw band- hoxes, worth little more than so many tents and affording about the same shelter, Reconstruction will be rapid. ITALY AND GREECE Among the boundaries the World War left unsettled was the Greek-Al- banlan, An international board was chosen to fix it. Italy had five members. Autoing through the digputed district, they were killed from ambush. It's one of the most lawless, bandit-infest- ed regions on earth. The murderers may have been common brigands— not Greek brigands, either, But Premier Mussolini of Italy de- cided to blame Greece. He sald the Italians opposed the boundary Greece wanted, so he argued that Greek must have killed them, % He made demands on Greece that all diplomats agree she couldn't have granted without losing every atom self-respect. Greece demurred. Ital almost instantly seized several Greek islands, bombarding one of them, thus getting control of the Adriatic Sea, which she's long wanted to make an Italian lag(e of. LEAGUE OF NATIONS Greece appealed to the League Nations. ’ Under League rules, a member committing an act of war against an- other member, in defiance of the rest of the membership, thereby commits an act of war against all of them. Italy denies she's committed an act of war, but everybody knows better. But the lLeague's two big members are England and France. They dis- agree over I'rance's Ruhr policy. Each wants Italy to side with. her on this question. Query: Will either dare to risk angering Italy by de- fending Greece? True, the League has other mem- bers, but it'’s unlikely the smaller ones can do much if KEngland and France fear to act. of APT TO SPREAD If Italy pushes hostilities against Greece, she almost automatically in- volves Jugoslavia (Greater Serbia) and then Turkey, Bulgaria, Rumania, Hungary and maybe Russia. After that, nobody can tell where trouble will stop. BID FOR POPULARITY Italy not only wants to control the Adriatie, She wants territory on the Adri- atic's eastern shore, too. It was what she went into the World War for. The peace treaty euchred her out of it. By beating Greece (which will be easy for her if others don’t interfere) she may get it yet, Premier Mussolini may have a per- sonal stake, also. When a near- revolution made him virtual dictator he ‘was very popular. There are signs that lately he's been losing much of this popularity., Jingoism may restore it. IN THE RUHR A story's current that Chancellor Stresemann has decided to cease "pas- sive resistance” in the Ruhr and is negotiating secretly, with a good pros- pect of ending Franco-German diffi- ulties. This story's denied, too. Tt's % soon to guess who's telling the th.

Alling in police court this mor ing on two charges of violating the li- quor law, sald that he did not know how any whiskey could have been found In his hay because he didn't put it there, In regard to a still found by ln‘ policemen, he said that he found that in a vacant lot about eight years ago, Marenchuk was fined $100 and cos! and $200 and costs for liquor with intent to sell, Detective Sergeant Willlam P, Me- on a reputation char keeping Cue testified that with Sergeant Mich~ ael J, Fiynn, Policemen Patrick O'Mara and John C, Stadler he con- ducted a raid on Marenchuk's farm on Saturday morning of last week. He said that he read the warrant to Mar- enchuk, who told him that he did not have any liquor on his premises, Ser- geant McCue sald that nothing was tound in the house, but Policeman Stadler found the still and a quantity of liguor in a smoke shop. A coll was found in the cellar of the shop and a five gallon can of alcohol was found hidden in a pile of hay by Ser- geant Flynn, It was necessary for (e officers to “pitch” about three tons of hay in order to uncover the liquor, Policemen O'Mara and Stad- ler testified that they had the place under observation for more than @ week, Officer Stadler sald that one day he saw two men lying under an apple tree intoxicated, Neighbor Admits Complaining. Tony Minalla, next door neighbor, testified that he had made a com- plaint about the place to the police. He sald that men have been coming to the Marenchuk farm in a sober condition and golng away drunk. His wite corroborated his statements, Marenchuk was next called to the stand. He said that his wife made four’ bottles of the liquor found by the police, but he purchased the rest from a friend. He sald that he paid a man $50 for the liquor before it was delivered and this was about a year ago. Later he said that he did not know this liquor was under the hay, authough it was purchased a year ago and the hay was placed in the barn this summer. Marenchuk at first sald that he did not know how much he pald for the Iliquor and claimed that he did not know the name of the man from whom he pur- chased it. The fines were then im- posed. Attorney Dawid L. Nair ap- peared for the accused man. Prose- cutor Willlam Greenstein presented the state's case. Haslip's Assailants Fined. Frank Curcjo and George Jennings were each fined $15 and costs for as- saulting William Haslip of 10 Center strect. Haslip testified that he, with several friends, among whom was Jo- seph Fletcher, was standing at the corner of Lafayette and High streets Monday afternoon when an automo- bile drove up to the curb and Curcio stepped out. Curcio, he said, spoke to Fletcher with the result that three of the men talking on the corner were asked to go for an automobile ride. After they were in the ma- chine, Haslip said, Curcio demanded $10 fronr each one. The money was not given to him and after he had driven the machine about tow#¥or a short time he went south on Stanley street and turned into Ellis street, Haslip said. It was on Ellis street near the Willow bridge that Haslip claimed he was thrown from the car by Curcio and assault- ed, He displayed a bandaged face in court.

With her she will take, not a gun, but knowledge newly acquired and the spirit of the Constitution of America. Ed Chambers, Mingo county deputy sheriff, was shot down while with Sid Hatfleld, as he stoodl unarmed on the steps of the Welch courthouse. His girl-wife was behind him. He died in her arms.

She studied hard, And she learned much. “Now,"” Sally Chambers says grim- ly, “I'm going back and I intend to carry the Constitution with me. It the miners and operators of the coal regions will abide by the provisions of the I'ederal Constitution the trouble will end. There will be no more bloodshed, no more threats of death and intimidation. “I shall devote my life to reinstate ! —— EVERETT TRUE law and order to my native hills and 1 intend to accomplish that aim by appealing to the ofvilized sections of America."” e —— OFFICIAL NOTICE " SCHOOL DEPT.
