The steel is to be used ror two huge
coal loading towers in Sydney. The
local concern, when given the con-
tract, was instructed to rush the order.
Consequently, it was finished up and
ready for shipment on February 20.
Then the obsta Gle in the shape of a
lack of transportatio accommo da-

the material is sorely needed across

JEWISH PEOPLE ARE
AFTER PROF" XIV
Attentions of Social Worker Are IN
welcome to New Britain
Men.

Local Jewish business and profess
sional men are thoroughly agitated
over the attentions of a certain Pro
lessor r. L. xiv, d self-termed social
and criminal worker and an alleged
seller of books by system of his
own, mainly limited to threats. Mat
tiers came to head last evening in
Talmud Torah hall where the profess
sor was due to give a talk on De
monothism and Character" but
showed a tendency to stray from his
subject and to attack socialism and
the New Britain business men His
terms in many instances we're of an
unmistakable character. Some of the
audience left the hall while others
remained to boot and jeer.
A hold-over meeting in the rear of
a nearby delicatessen store followed
the general assembly and it is said
that the gentleman with the socio-
logical instinct was told that he had
better practice in parts far distant
from the city of his choice. While
it was admitted that the city is good
field for investigators the local peo-
pie felt that the professors inyesfi-
cations were not quite what thew
Shoula be ana that ne also was going
into extremes in Investigating" bus
mess men who were not inclined TO
purchase his books
numerous stories of the professors
interest in character study and his
manner of proceeding with it have
not done much to foster his cause.
Nhether the business men will be
successful in their attempt to have
MN leave the city or not is a matter
of conjecture.

NEW AND FLOURISHING
POWER FOR GERMANY
President of Reichstag Declares 1t Is
Springing Up on the BIOOd-sOal<ed
RattIeficlds of Europe.

London, March 10, 1920 p. M
The president Of the reichstag, re-
viewing the war situation at the open
ing Of the reichstag. today said, ac-
cording to a Berlin despatch received
by Reuters Telegram company by
way Of Amsterdam:
'In the west from the Vosges to
the channel and in the east from the
Baltic to BukoWina, our armies and
thoseof our allies are standing like a
wall of steel and iron. :
.In the south the brave Turkish
army is guarding the Dardanelles
which a great Anglo-French fleet is
vainly attempting to conquer. This
army is also threatening the Suez
canal and Egypt, which has become
the prev of the British empire.
ENGLAND declares that she cannot
forego the right to starve Germany
Germany has replied with submarines,
the crews of which have already given
many proofs Of their heroic bravery.
Germany is not to be conquered
by starvation. Our enemies did not
reckon with our economic strength,
with the organized strength of our
agriculture, commerce and industry,
the unity of the nation and our firm
determination to win.
"Our sacrifices are gigantic, but on
the blood-soaked battlefelds, last
ing peace is springing up winch VIII
lead our great and beloved FATHER
land to new and 1ourlshlns power.

expected that there will remain a
profit Of at least fifteen dollars. There
were twenty tables and about twenty
two dollars was taken in. After the
card playing, there was dancing.
1t is planned to give another similar
social in about two weeks, the pro-
ceeds of which are to go towards de-
fraying the expenses of street light

Post Office Official Here
r. J. German of New Haven, a post
offie official called upon Postmaster
Henry L. Porter at the Berlin post
office Monday for the purpose of MAX
ing inquiries regarding the work Of
the mail carrier here. He had been
given reason to doubt the fact that
the distance from the Belin Office to
the Berlin passenger station is two
miles and it was to straighten out this
matter that he conferred With the
postmaster He had thought that the
mail carrier was obliged to carry the
sacks only one mile. ....
Bids for the job of mail carrier

been but one response, that being
from Emelio Martino the present
carrier His bid has been submitted
TO the proper authorities and it is
believed that they will make public
their decision within the next few

fifth anniversary Of the event and, in
4 commemoration of it, supper and
address were enjoyed by the members.
Rev ]. D. Roberts, pastor of the Trim
ity Meth odist church in South Meriden
was the speaker of the evening and
he spoke very interestingly before an
appreciative audienct.
The program for the evening be-
. gan when the members and their

the menu, which was as follows:
Roast Ham with Stuffing.

"How to Make the Most of Life"
was the subject upon which the speak
or talked. He explained that there
were three roads in life; the immor-
al, moral and religious. The immor-
al road, he said, leads only to sadness,
. remorse and death; the moral road
eliminates in dissappointme nt, but tn e
road of religion if followed careful
" will direct the traveller to the
threshold of happiness where the
higher attainments of Christian life
are to be found.
The speaker said that the traveller
on the road of morality lacks appeal
and enthusiasm and is Indifferent to
the soul and spirit, although. appar-
emily, he lives decently. On the other
hand, it is he who is touched and
moulded by rsligitr that gets the
highest that there is in life.

The burden of proof does not rest
On DR.. Tucker 10 show that the
Beard OF Aldermen should not give
saesAnt To the. Common Councils action
forbidding the establishment of his
hospital on his own property, but
upon the opposing property owners
and the members OF the board TO show
= single reason of right or Justice that
will permit the ordinance to pass.
In laying final action over until Fri
day the board suggested that tho
parties might be able to solve the
difncuity among themselves. That
may be, but we see no reason why DR.
Tucker should feel bound In any way
to sell his property for any price, nor
ran we see any just ground on which
the board will pass the ordinance In
the event he does not care TO sell save
that influential people want the ordl-
nance.
The Virginia has counted il one of
I'll privileges to oppose this ordinance
because to our view it reveals a
tendency towards class legislation.
The Richmond Virginian. (Richmond, Va.) 1910-1920, 1915-06-16
WHY PASS THE ORDINANCE?

which even in it's incipiency should
be promptly scotehed. Not in behalf
of Or. Tucker any more than in be-
half of any other citizen do we and
others feel that the duty of the Alder
men will be performed TO the whole
city by refusing to concur in the ordi-
nance. We hope that the members of
the board hold the same view and
will refuse their votes to a measure
which was conceived In the interest
of the few against the welfare of the
many.
We must conclude that the prop
erty owners who brought the action
simply fail TO realize the far-reaching
scope of the action they desire taken.
While the city attorney mas ruled that
the proposed ordinance is legal that
does not mean that it is right, for we
all know that many things of legal
nature are unjust.
Let us steer clear of the shoals of
special laws and ordinances desired TO
meet special cases. Our government
Is for the purpose Of administering
general and not specific statutes
