Now that the Gerfhans have signed the treaty, leaders are returning to their countries and the president is on his way home, it does not mean that all 1s over at Versailles. The peace conference has much work that re- mains to be done and it would not be surprising if the session had not been completed on the first anniversary of the signing of the armistice. It is realized of course that the treaty with Austria has not been sign- ed, that there is none as yet under- * taken with Hungary, that Turkey has not been informed what its terms will be and that Bulgaria does not know as yet what it will be called upon to sign. Thus while the main business has been disposed of and the rest of the work can be left to others it is evident that they will have plenty to do to get the remainder of the busi- ness cleaned up. As far as anyone knows the dispute about Fiume has not as yet been ad- justed although there is reason to feel that the change in the Italian cabinet may indicate an early settlement of that matter, but there are also the claims of Greece and the adjustment of numerous problems relative to the smaller nations that must be accom- plished before it will be possible to ad- journ although there will be many matters that will be referred to the league of nations to deal with. The big show, however, is concluded and though what remains to be done is im- portant it will nevertheless come un- der the classification of side attrac- tions for which the programmes have for the most part been arranged and the future work will to a large degree be a matter of form though It may require some time FREE R "TO LAWLESSNESS. In view of 12t has been said and done in order to bring about an ob- servance of law and order, it cannot be viewed otherwise Lhax\_ a strange attitude that was taken By the gov- when he refused erner of Miss pi to intervene, ien the attention was called to the developments, in the plans for the lynct of a Negro for an assault upon voung white wo- man. It was the statement of the govern- or when petitioned to prevent the aet that he was utterly powerless, that it would only mesn the deaths of hundreds of others and no one could prevent the incvitable from happening. In taking s view he apparently believec 1t the mob was determined to take the situation into its own hands and deal out justice unlawfully. There was in this no question but what the right man had been se- cured for the cused admitted that fact, but it was the statement of the doctor who had examined the wounds inflicted before he was caught that Fe could not live more than 24 hours. Therefore it was apparent that he wa and that he was net going to escap not going to get the benefit of a long delay in the administration of justice. Nothing was to be gained by hanging. shooting and burning the man as was done. S\hh lynchings have not pre- vented the very crimes that he com- mitted, but had the governor acted and insisted that there should be an obedience of the law it would have od out much more creditably to himself and the state than to admit that he could do nothing. It is such failyres to act for the prevention of illegal murders that encourages re- sort to such mob violence in such cases and even in others where the provecation is much less. The gov- ernor’s a ct for itude doesn't create any re- w and order. WHY CHINA REFUSED. Not a little attention has been at- tracted by the refusal of China to sign the peace treaty. <hina had aligned self against Germany and, taken des with the allies some time before the fighting stopped, although it had rot taken a very prominent part in the struggle. In connection with the peace arrangements, however, China has been endeavoring to secure the protection that it believes it should zet and inasmuch as the treaty pFo- vides that Japan shall take possession of Shantung and the possessions and privileges held by Germany, it is naturally a matter of concern to China. Japan wrested from Germany its possessions in the Shantung penin- sula during the early part of the war, and it has been declared by Japan that it is its intention to restore to China that which it took from Germany but there is nothing in the treaty to show it and there is no telling and Japan has not been willing to state when it proposes to make the restoration. By the treaty Germany gives up\Shan- e g e | considered necessary satisfied with such a situation. That it would sign the treaty under such con- ditions coyld hardly be expected. China desired to sign with certain reserva- tiens and these would have dealt with this particular matter, but it was not permitted to and the result is that it has not concluded peace with Germany and what territory Germany comtroll- ed in China is now under Japanese domination through sanction of the allies. who apparently have faith in Japan and its promise to treat China right, which is not shared by China. THE WILKINS GEE. Because of the manner in which the crime was coofuitted, the prominence in the community of the accused and the apparent plausibility of the story told in explanation of the killing of his wife, so much so that the authori- ties were inclined at first to believe it much interest was manifested in the Wilkins murder at Mineola, L..L, where two wives had but a short time ago been freed after shooting down their husbands in cold blood. In view of the evidence presented, however, there could hardly have been surprise at the verdict that was ren= dered by the jury in finding the doctor guilty of first degree murder. In spite of the careful plans for covering up his crime his defense was badly broken at numerous points, but the jury didn’t reach its decision without long deliberation or decide to do its duty in finding him guilty without showing its desire that some other than the penalty prescribed for such a crime should be imposed. This was made evident when it recommended mercy for the prisoner. Whether this was the consideration which caused the change in the standing of the jury is not disclosed but it was ap- parently not known that it could not receive the attention of the court. If by any chance the verdict was reachied through the belief that the penalty would be other than death there may have been grounds for a successful appe-!, which seemed like- ly to be taken, but that has all been made unnecessary by the suicide of the convicted man, whose act indi- cated his hopelessness and guilt, and what would have kept the case in the public eve through an appeal will be an investigation to find out who was s accessory in ending his life. NO CHANCE FOR TURKEY. Just how Turkey could have expect- ed to receive any favors from the peace conference is beyond compre- hension. Possibly it thought it could pull the wool over the eyes of the delegates and make them forget past conduct in view of promises for the future, but if such was the case it has been disillusioned by the reply that has been received to its plaintive appeal for mercy. As it ought to have expected the al- lies make it plain to the Turkish del- egates that the empire hasn't a chance of remaining intact, or of remainigs as it is without Armenia. Turkey has been weighed in the balance and found wanting. Its government has lopg been the cause of severe condemna- tion and though it was doubtless placed under great pressure by Ger- many it must have realized the use- lessness of placing the full blame for its actions upon another, when it has shown so repeatedly that what it did was only in keeping with the policy that has time and again been adopted of its own accord. Turkey was of course a handy tool for the Germans to employ, It was ready for the dify work and it per- formed it to the best of its ability. ust what the entente nations pro- pose to do in the partitioning of the country has not been disclosed though it is not expecfed that Turkey will have to wait long before finding out. The allies have made it clear that Turkey has shown that it is incapa- ble of self government. Unless its subject peoples are going to be wiped out they must be rescued and cer- tainly there could be no better time than now. Turkey has played with fire and lost and it must take the con- sequences whether it whines or not. In fact its conduct has been such that rn should be given reason to know that the past cannot be repeated. EDITORIAL NOTES. The real big question now is, who is going to keep the lid clamped down now that by law it is on? June went out giving this part of the country what a great many peo- ple felt was a cold shoulder. There is no question but what John Barleycorn will be missed on his va- cation whether this one is long or short. With a little bit of help the former crown prince has shown that he gan be in two places at the same time without knowing it. If more diamonds than ever are be- ing imported into the United States, it is certainly much more commendable than trying to smuggle them in. The man on the corner says: Now that they are being demobilized it is time for the booze fighters to insist upon being awarded service stripes. Inasmuch as it is going to b: nec- essary, to determine whether certain liquids are intoxicating, there ought to be a great chance now for official testers. Baston seems to have been hand- somely done when firemen who are given one day off in three put in such time working for pay in garages and other shops. If some of the former kings of Eu- rope are as badly in need of cash as reported, they ought to follow the Bill Hohenzollern example and go to sawing wood. But along with the other impertant events of the day, it should not be for- gotten that the cost of sending first class mail has dropped to two cents an ounce and postals to a cent. Dr. Wilkins declared himself inno- cent before and after the verdict ol guilty. His act of runming away be- fore arrest and his suicide while awaiting sentence seem to uphold the jury. Possibly the whirl around the coun- try that is to be made by the presi- dent soon after he reaches this side is by him in order to get acquainted after his long stay in Europe. ‘Washington, D. C. June 30.—With the return of the president to the United States after a seven montns absence, Washington is likely to be- come a deserted village. Already plans are on foot at the White House for a prolonged speaking tour by the president in favor of the league of nations. The opponents of the league in its present form are no less ac- tive in arranging for a counter tour by senators opposing the measure as it now stands. ‘ongress is like- wise planning for a series of three day recesses covering a month or more while the senators who are not touring discuss treaty and com- mittees on_ini te commerce have hearings on trade conditions. Other- wise everybody seems planning to go back home as under the proposed gentlemen’s agreement no busines could be tramsacted” In efmgress which requires a quorum. It is bare- 1y possible that instead of the day recesses the sepate may give its permission that the house take a 30- day reces. ‘That can be done by, consent of the senate, otherwise only three days at a time can be taken. Thé president is said to be hesitating whether to take a $10,000 trin or 2 $50,000 He gets a traveling al- lowance of $25,000 and his roreig.. a- penses have been entirely cared. for under another sum running up to the millions. But he now wants. to make a bigger swing than he could cover with $25,000 counting all the-persons he wants to take along with him. But congress is hardly in the humor to add to the $25,000 just now, and it is doubtful if it could be obtained. Whenever the president has travel- ed he has taken Mrs. Wilson along, together with some woman companion for her. He also takes a large corps of stenographers, secretaries and his physician, Dr. Grayson. This, with cooks, waiters, and other servants, makes up a good sized company ~o- quiring quite a number of special cars, all to be run at the govern..e..s expenses. There will be a hot fight against Increasing the $25,000 annual appropriation for the purpese of a league tour, as the matter now looks. So the president may modify his route and make a $10.000 trip instead of a $50,000 one by shortening the distance covered. It is not yet kmown what his plan will be, beyond the state- ment that he will take such a trip 1 as soon as he has signed the appro- I priation bills and addressed the sen- ates But whether he is away a week or a month congress does not intend to enter on any new legisiation this summer. The ways and means com- mittee regard it as useless to attempt to frame any tariff legislation while the foreign conditions are so unsettled and the word has gone forth that none will be attempted beyond a few minor matters which can be adjusted imme- diately. The prospects are not favorable for erection of new public buildings. Th policy of economy promised by the re- publicans will make it a hard task to get such measures through congress. In fact the public building committee of the house has made it known that they will not prepare an omnibus pub- lice building bill this session and hat early in December the committee will meet and decide wn a policy. In the meantime the bills already filled are to remain unacted on by the com- mittee. It is very evident that only those coming under the class of ‘“ur- gent needs” will be recommended, but just what will constitute urgent need is something which cannot be fore- casted. | . Senator McLean made a strong plea for better recegnition of the needs cf 'New \}fngiand when fhe ewri- cultural bill was before the senate to- . He called attention to the fact that under existing condiions New England farmers are not getting a fair share of the fund for rural aid and eo- operaation. He referred to the clause which prohibits use of the fund in towns of more than 2,500 people, add- ing “T know that in my section of the country many towns would not get a dollar of this money. I think 38 per cent of the towns in Connecticut would not -be benefitted by this act; and vet they are entirely agricuitural towns. So the more money vou ap- propriate the less money we get, for we have to contribute our portion te taxes which is something we do not object to within reason.” Mr. Me- Lean then urged a specified_distribu- tion which would protect New Eng- land showing that while the sparsely settled southern and western states paid much less they received the lion’s share of the benefits. He served no- tice that as a member of the appro- priations committee, he should next year see that the ineauality of dis- tribution was fully understood and that unless remedied, he believed it would result in a heavy cut-down of the appropriation. Mr. McLean paid a high tribute to Connecticut and oth- er yew England states and predicted that has soon as congress fully un- derstands the injustice being ~ done that part of the country by unequal distribution ef the agricultural fund the condition will be changed. The; amendment of Mr. McLean was adopted and the state of Connecticut will benefit therby about ten thousand dollars. It may seem unaccountable, but throughout the city and at the capitol, where the talk and debate for many months has been entirely on the great war, news that the treaty of peace has been signed did not make a ripple. Senator Hitchcock read the presi- dent’s announcement but no person in the senate rose to make additional comment, and Hitcheock sat down in the midst of profound silence. Over in the house no special cognizance was { made of the fact of the signing. The only official recognition was the pres- ence at the capital plaza of the Ma- rine band playing patriotic music in a magnificent fashion but only a handful of people stopped to listen to them. and often the inauiry was heard, “Why are they playing?” When the answer was made that the peace treaty had been signed a In~anic “Oh " was the usual commend. Perhaps the uncertainty of the status of the United States under the terms of the treaty embodying the league of nations had a quieting effect and perhaps it was just because congress and Washington has been overworked in “enthusing” over war time matters but the fact remains that the announcement cre- ated but little comment and no ex- citement whateve) OTHER VIEW POINTS The house judiciary committee in striking out the provision permitting search of private homes for contra- band liquor, has upheld one of the basic principles of the constitution. A man's home is still his castle, even in these days of “reform.”"—Middletown Press. The country must not be deprived of a great boon because a timid con- gress is scared. Daylight saving ad- vocates must keep up the fisht. If daylight saving is lost for 1920 a new congress must assemble in 1921 pledged to restore daylight saving again. If that is impossible, factories and rail- roads should advance their time an hour and business generally will follow them. States also may enact daylight saving laws.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR The High Schoel Question. Mr. Editor: If there exists any real issue of importance to the city and town, it may be said that, so far, the presentation and the diseussion of it has revealed mothing calculated: to prompt the public to any immediate decision of formal action. The card, issued to all electors by the school bard, signally failed in obtaining a big meeting. or the impetus appar- ently looked for in—in faet it rath- er created much opposition. We gather from the ropresentations of the board that it is moved deeply by two (2) propositions—the first being the great need of a school building up-to-date. ~Secondly—for the pur- pose of saving a large number of our pupils of the Sixth, Seventh and Eighth grades. who, in the language of Mr. Bishop, according to _our school records, we lose each year from our schools. ‘We confess ourselves at a loss te know what is meant bv this desig- nated “loss” er how it is to be rem- edied by an ‘up-to-date” _building. whatever that mav mean. If a_pupil is - considered lost because he hasn't got a high school academic or colle- gian course; and doesn't enter the profession: then we object. ‘The professions are overcrowded now, and there are too many pseudo educators who are inculeating the idea that ed- ueation fits a nupil only to live his wits, and {g:t by ‘honest toil hence we have an ignorant laboring and mechanical class, with its walking delegates and strikes.

We know there are what is called manuzl training schools now, but these are mosly looged up to as a preparation for the graduate to teach in_ other manual training capacities and not to fit him for actual work. The present schonl board being made up of successful, practical men, chosen to this board because of their and common sense. it be interesting for them to tell us just in which grade they each left school, and how many of them were lost for not receiving the ad- vantages of which they talk as heing %0 necessary for the pupils of to- day: who may soon be replacing them in office. The writer of this letter is in a‘ mechanical pursuit which requires mathematical and scientific knowledge. He got his ed- ucation in a countrv school where evervthing was taught from A B C's to algebra. The puplls were not graded by their ages, nor had their e neamert by the year and diplo- ma, nor schonl to another to get a knowledge to fit them for life's common and “useful tasks. Let the Norwich school board give us their experiences, and not try to scare us into acquiescence to a great expenditure with their visions of what they deem “Up-to-date.” A. LASKERON. Norwich.

Recently members of the Balkan Commission of the Armenian Red Cross visited Derindje in time to wit- ness the return from Aleppo of a par- ty of Near East Relief Commission girls. The party reached Aleppo on a train guarded by English soldiers byt the army autherities at that point re- fused to guarantee the safety of the Zirls in the interior, declaring hat it would be murder to allow the giris to proceed at that time. At tea one afternoon British offic- ers expressed amazement that Ameri- can giris intended to go into the Cau- casus. “We have just returned from the in- terfor,” said one officer quietly. “Fort- uately four of us escaped but the rest of our train, some twenty odd men were killed by the Kurds.

Three-quarters of the country was held by the Austrians until last Novembe: As a result of this ten year’s strife Albanian villages are heaps of ruins and the country de- nuded of everything of value. M. Venizelos claims Southern Albania for Greece because it contains 120,- 000 Greeks.

The Albanian repuhllc of Goritza which constitutes half of Northern Epirus fought on the side of the Entente.
