(LULAHON WEEK ENDING MARCH 18th, 1922 11,766 DANGBROUS OBSTRUCTIONISTS. President Harding and Secretary Hughes are reported as being Indignant over the charge that has been made in the senate that a secret pact has been made between this country and Great Britain In connection with the four Dower treaty. Is there any wonder that they take such an attitude? Is there any reasonable ground for surprise when the White House declares it to be outrage- ous and unthinkable? The tactics which have been employ- ed In this connection are such as to wrouse indignation among many others than the president and the secretary of state and if there was any question about the ratifiention of the treaty such efforts should only hasten and assure fa- vorable action. When senators resort to the use of #tatements of others, which statements are in fact repudiated by the ome to whom they are attributed, it shows the fesperate measures to which they willing to resort and the misrepresenta- tion upon which they are depending to Influenee actlon against an international sgreement drawn in the interest of peace and for the welfare of this and other na- tions. Reliance upon a baseless speech, if It was a fact that such a speech was made as it is claimed proves nothing. At- torney Cravath has denled that he sald what was attributed to him that he had been told that thero was any seeret un- derstanding or that he knew of such and the result is to make the treaty opposi- tion a greater shambles than ever, but it has shown how willing the Borah crowd is to discredit not only the dele- Fates of their own country but to encour- age others who attended to. think that they had been hoodwinked at the Wash- Ingten conference, and upon what filmsy foundation they are making their fight. This is the second time that Secretary Hughes has felt it necessary to deny the truth of assertions that were made by opponents of the treaty in their ef- fort to block ratification. It is a kick that should amount to a boost and the revelation should brand them henceforth In thelr taeties of obstruction. CUTTING THE ARMY AND NAVY. Tremendous sums have been paid by this government in the past several ¥ears for army and navy purposes. Nat- wrally such staggering amounts are bound to get attentlon when it comes to sutting down expenditures. There is a lesire to reduce taxation as much as possible and In order to'do that there must be a curtailment of federal expen- gitures. If we are not going to retrench then we must expect that taxation will continue without much change, or only such change as would be expected to fol- low the improvement in the economic sit- uation, When it comes to cutting the federa! expenditures it is to be realized that re- importance of our de- of defense it cannot be ex- pected that they will be allowed a greater sum than is actually needed to properly look after those duties for which they Sre maintained. The war is over and they are not to be maintained on & war basis any longer at this time, And yet when It comes to redueing the number in the army and navy and cur- talling the appropriations for pay, equip- ment and new work it i§ to be realized hat good judgment directs that it be done with full regard for the service that Is expected of them and the fact that 1t Is much easler to wreck a military or- ganization than it is to restore it. There s sueh a thing as carrying economy to the point where it will prove to be detri- mental to the welfare of the nation. It 's the difference between true and false tconomy which must be observed and re- wpected by congress in dealing with these two departments. It will hardly be wise to totally disre- those experts who are in touch with ary and naval condtions, who look beyond today In providing the national safeguards and yet it is not to be ex- pected that comgress will be carried tway by the militaristically inclined, or those who are advocating large forces on land and sea simply for show or through personal interest. It Is to be expected that the army and navy must receive a t but the question is how deep it can ¥o without Imperiling the military ma- thine and making It next to worthiess. EXTENDING THE TIME, From first to last this country has poured a considerable sum of money in- to Europe for the purpose of relieving fistressing conditions. Great amounts have gone as direct glfts. Large sums have been vided to tide over sitya- tions With the expectation that they will tome day be repald. This is the case in connection with the $24,000,000 furnished that the stary- Ing in Austria might have something to eat, It was advanced at the solicitation of Austria and as security this govern- ment took a mortgage ov the Austrian state property. Amerlcan wheat was purchaged and forwarded and the good et was done has been indicated many ways sinee that time. Austria was not able to provide the money for the wheat at the time and it !s not now able to pay for the money we anee. It would of course be possible this government to insist upon its pound of flesh, but there isn't any such disposition. The situation in that coun- try 1s well understood. It is having dit- ficuities in keeping Its head above wa- It hasn't the means to bring about he reorganization and to finance the in wuch needed revival of industrial activ- i There is no good reason Why are | tgatlon substantiates the should not pull out of its dilemma. in time but it is gong ta require time. It is presenting a sltuation which makes Europe realize that it must give it need- ed help and encouragement, and in keep- ing therewith there seems to be nothing unreasonable in the resplution which has been intreduced in eongress gnd already passed by the senate delaying the re- turn of that meney advanced by this government for a period ef 25 years, ' The idea is to give Austria a chance, to let it get on its teet, and while it may not be entirely regovered from the effects of the war in.a period of 25 years it is undpubtedly true thpt such time will find it in better shape to make payment of the money advaneed. Delaying payment is like extending a helping hand and steering clear of the praectice of further handicapping a country just because it happens to be dewn, R INCENDPIARY FIRES, Attention capnot fail to be directed to the conditions whieh were disclosed to the firemen at the Hertz bullding In Thames strect Tuesday night gnd which in the opinion of Chief Stanton indicated that the fire was of incendiary origin. Decidedly susplcious is the evidence to the effect that fires were found on three floors at the same time in a concrete building. The situation would appear to be such as to warrant the taking of all necessary steps to determine if possible the origin of the fires, who was responsible for them and whether there was malicious intent. Deliberate destruction of the property of another is a serious matter. It is bad enough when fires are started through carelessness but when such an act is Intentionally committed it is time that every effort was made to locate the responsible person or persons and see that the penalty prescribed in such eases is applied. It cannot be too fully realized that there is much more at stake under such circumstances than the praperty direct- ly concerned. Whether a fire is started for spite or for gain there is endangered not only that preperty immediately in- volved but all that the flames can reach before the firemen arrive, all that smoke and water are hound to damage and all that that' adjoins, should a fire be so well kindled that unusual efforts on the part of the fighters are required to re- strain it, The person who is given to sebting fires, whatever his motive may be, is a menace to any community, If in his right mind he is deserving of no censid- eration when it comes to punishment and it is to be hoped that if the inves- opinion al- ready expressed that it will be pessible to locate whoever is gullty and see that they are brought to the bar of justice. No community can feel safe with such a person at large, ———— NO CONSIDERATION FOR PUBLIC. The issuance of an erder for the sus- pension of work in all union coal mines of the country at midnight on .March 31st comes as a bit of a surprise. Cen- cerning the bituminous fleld it was to be expected. There the operators had re- fused to keep their agreement to eonfer With the miners regarding an agreement to replace the one which expires this month, but with the anthracite opera- tors it was different. They have recelv- ed the demands of the miners and have indicated what they helleve should be done to bring about an understanding concerning the production of coal and it has not been declared that they could not coma to an agreement. Calling a strike under those condi- tions, even though it may not be possi- ble to reach an agreement before the first of April, amounts to but little mere than the raising of a club over the heads of the operators and the public by the head o fthe miners’ organization. Under the conditions it is diffienit for the consumer to get much consolation out of the situation. When a strike of miners is called it means a suspension of operations by all those Who respond to the call. Suspended operations means that production is bound to be curtatled and that the surplus of bituminoys and anthracite coal on top of the ground must be drawn upon and increased ef- forts put forth jn the non-union flelds. If there is enough to tide over the time necessary to reach a new agreement without affecting the price to the con- sumer he will be fortunate. If there isn't he will be obliged to meet the sit- uation the best he can and to pay what- ever is demanded as the result of short- age condlitions, It is a situation which has long existed and toward the rellef of which there appears to be no very great strides being made. The inconsiderate treatment of the public seems certain to continue as long as it will tolerate it, EDITORIAL NOTES, The monthly decline in the eost of liv- Ing doesn't apply to those who eat in res- taurants, It is of course a waste of time to tell any of the fishermen how near it is to the first of April, The man on the corner says: It taker a real rough winter to bring out the full appreciation of spring. When Villa asks Mexieo for more land to cultivate it looks as if his back to the farm effort was proving a success. If there was any doubt about spring being here it was dispelled when the scooping for smelt was started In the Shetucket. 1t all the public improvements that are suggested throughout the eountry were started there would be a quick end to the unemployment. From the success which some of them are having in plowing up the baek roads the auto ought to be a great help In turning over the backyard garden, The department of commerce predicts a big year for home builders, It is heped the prediction materializes for that is what the country stands in great need of. Nothing serves to discredit some mem- bers of the genate more than the subtle methods used ip their determipation to defeat the four power treaty at any cost. e The strike call to the coal miners makes no mare allowance for the opera- tors Who have agreed to meet them in conference than te those who have re- fused. While the agricultural department may be experimenting on a substitute for tea there are other beverages ahout the loss of which there is. much mere concern, Somehow it Takes the interest all out of it to have one scientist declare it to be his belief that it is a glyptodom and not a plesiosaurus that has been seen !n Patagonia, . “Mary Dimmitt came to See me to- day,” said the cute littlg wife to her hus- band, who had been to the ::'ll M&w!

Yours very truly, LINDSEY G. SMITH, NcdeAnan County Deputy Game War- en. 63 High Street, Norwich, Conn. Norwich, March 22, 1922. What Fish and Game Assoclation Is De- ing and Plans te De. Mr. Editer: I nete with interest the tommunication in this morning's Bulle- tin over the signature of “¥ish and Game"” and I desire the privilege of an- swering the same, Hveryone that hunts or fishes knows that the existing eonditions are far from ideal, and for that reason the Nor- wieh Fish and Game Assoclation was formed. In the preamble to its consti- tution, #s object and purpose is stated as follows: “To develop an interest in {the propagation of fish and game, the restocking ef the Iakes, ponds and streams in this vicinity, to assist in se- ouring a better observance of the state laws relating to fish and game, to co- operate wWith the other assoclations threughout the state in sequring better laws for the protection of fish and game and to inculcate a true spirit of sports- manship among its mmembers.” Feeding of song and game birds is urged upon its members. The creed of the asseelation in printed form furnish- ed every member says “Don't break game lavr.s, don’t fish or hunt out of season, don't abuse privileges given by land owners (one thoughtless wsportsman makes Jand owners an ememy to alil sportsmen), Don't kil needlessly. Don't hog the game.” This being our objeot, what has been done? TFor years the fishermen and hunters have been taking the stook from zn_hzd ooiers nndmstreams of the farmer nd putting nothing baek. We to stop this. During the yearayflsw“él?: Ing there has been placed over 15,000 trout in the streams in this locality. About 100 pheasants, reared by mem- bers and in part secured from the state were releaged in the woods abouyt Nor- wich and provision made for feeding them In case of a severe winter. Ay- rangements have been made to increase this number during the coming year, To secureé an interest in this work the plo- tures of whieh he complaing are to be furnished by Fleld and Stream practi- cally without cost to the association. Fish and Game seems grieved that we are to have a lunch at the close of the business meeting. We have found, as have others, that this is the best way to get men dnterested. Get together and touch etbows and diseussion with re- suks are sure to follow. If “Fish and Game" is a memher of the asseciation, and I think he is, would it net have heen hetter for him to attend the meet- ing when called amnd urge the attentien of the members to the fauits he com- plains of? Fault finders are always with us. What we want is someone that will beost and push.

It is easier to blame the war- den. Tf those who know of violations will eooperate with the wardens speedy action will follow. ? The forming of fish and game asso- clations is being dene all over the state, there being nearly fifty now at work. A sate ascociation of representatives from these clubs has been formed. They have a legislatlve eommittee at work to se- cure more stringent laws and better en- forcament. F. K.

On Feb. 15, 1898, Judge Lawrence, of the Central Crim- inal court, sent Lord Nevill, the son of an : ngzlisa marquis, IO pina. So itude for five years because of a gross fraud. Lurd Wiliam Nevill was. the fourth son of the Marquis of Abergavenny 2nd he was placed on trial charged with gross fraud in connection with the famous suit of “Sam” Lewis, the money-lender agairst Lieyt, Spencer Clay. Nevill had deluded Lieut. Clay into indorsing promissery notes for a large sum on the pretext that he was signing other documents. e pretended to want Clay's signature on documents that related to a sister's un- savory divorce suit. He covered the face of the documents, except where th> signatures were desired, and Olay sigred in good faith. These documents after- ward jproved to be thc promissory notes glven by Money-lender Lewis. When the case of Lord Nevill was called, on Feb, 15, there was an unusual assemblage of ladies present, including Lady Nevill. In their smartest frocks they overlooked the jury box and barrist- ers seats. Outside their gorgeous broug- hams blocked the approaches. Lord Nevill was unusuall when the case was called and when lg was asked to plead he said he was guil ty of fraud, but not of forgery. Then Prosecutor Matthews narrated the eir- cumstances of the fraud and at the eon- | clusion of his remarks intfmated that he would accept the prisoner's plea as satis- fying the requirements of justice. G The counse¢l of the prisoner, in his de- fense, pointed out that at the time of the | incident for which he was held accusal Nevill was in great financlal difficult] and that in securing the signatures had not realized that he was committin: a breach of the eriminal law. He did net belleve that Clay would suffer any finan cial loss, but instead that the securitivs would remain in the hands of Lewis un: til he secured money elsewhere. So much a favorite was the nobleman with the ladies present that many a gloved hand applauded the counsel’s speech. The trial only lasted throughout ome day. Late in the afternoon Judge Law- rence summed up sternly, but with a volce which shook with emotion. Among ether things he sald: “In my opinion the erime is as great as if Lord Nevill had abstract- ed the sum from Lieut. Clay's pocket, or had burglarized Mr. Lewis office and had stelen 1t. If it had been some wretched clerk with a wife and seven ehil- dren who had inourred a heavy loss and had helped himself at his master's till, I am afraid there would have been nc one to speak in extenuation but the nigher the position a person holds the higher his responsibility.” Such an only tee rare interpretation of justice it would appear, would have bean the place to call out a righteous ap- plause, but when the sentence was impos- od there was a chorus of sobs from the ladies present. 5 The judge, in corflupion. said: T am sorry to say that I have looked in vain for extenuating circumstances. It is as bad a case of fraud as it is possible to concelve. Lord Nevill has brought shame and dishoner upon an ‘ancient and nobla family and sorrow and suffering upen his nearest and dearest. You have forfeited the position,” he said, “you held in the world, and which should hawe been a guarantee of your honesty, at least if not of your honor.” g The judge them pronounced sentence. It was a pitiable sight to see this proad nobleman disgraced and exfled for five long years. At Newgate he was allowed to have a lengthy intervi with his wife and aether lady and after his gentle- man's fashionable clothes were exchang- ed for the prison garb he was convevrd to Wormwood Scrubbs Prison to serve his sentence. nervous |. e — IN THE PUBLIC EYE | Field Marshal Sir Henry Wilson, who has been selected to restore order mn o 15 an . olsh @n W 0se &:hy reer began with a lieutenancy in the slafle prigade.
