New French Army Helmet.

Sixty-fOur operations are necessary

of steel. A machine that eXertS pres

Each disk is placed under Shap-

into the form Of a helmet with q
broad rim. Polishing and cutting ma
chimes remove all Irregularities in the
helmet, after which holes are punched
in the crOwn-SOme for ventilation
purposes, others for fastening on the
regimental crest.
Each helmet is cleaned and dipped
in a special mixture that makes it a
dull, inconspicuous blush gray. A
lining and leather chin straps are
then fastened on, and the helmet is
complete. Since the French troops
have begun to wear helmets the num-

THEY BELIEVED
IN AMERICA

One hundred and forty years ago some half
hundred men. sent by their communities to con-
cert measures for securing their "rightS as Eng
liShmen," became convinced that these could not
be obtained save by ceasing to be British sub
jects' and declaring themselves american citi-
Zens."
Let us look behind the formal phrases Of the
immortal Declaration to the faith of these men
and Of the people for whom they spoke. What
was the faith that made vital their appeal for
the Justice of their and the righteousness
Of their undertaking?
They believed in themselves; in their ability to
do right and justice. They believed in the COM
petence of stalwart manhood to govern itself and
to provide for the common welfare. They be-
lieved they could make better arrangements in
government than men had made before them.
They believed in themselves. in their people in
America.
Americans of late have done a great deal Of
faut-finding with America. There is not much
now as a year two ago. The spectacle across
the Atlantic tends to hush 1t, and to give
point to the saying that "other countries"
what make Americans proud of their

priation of $500 to create a skating
pond was adopted and referred to the
board of finance for action and on
Monday afternoon the board Of fl
nance passed a resolution appropriate
ing the necessary 1900 although less
than half of the members of the
board signed the resolution after they
had voted for it.
From the foregoing it would seem
that the question of the hour is not
how to feed the people who are in
want but rather, how to amuse the
public.
Therefore, the socialist party of
New Britain stands unanim ously OPP
posed to the expenditure of public
funds for luXuries when it is
questioned fact that this money will
certainly be needed to supply food,
fuel, and clothing to the city's unfor-
tunate poor during the coming win
ter months We are heartily in favor
of all healthful amusements, popular
concerts, and public exhibitions of
fireworks on appropriate occasions
but we believe that the feeding Of
one hungry child is a more important
and better expression of our city's So
cial consciousness than the building
Of a skating pond Or a dozen band
concerts. PatrlOtlSm, denneu as a
love for ones country, requires no
fireworks for it's expression when
genuine.
Poor people, as we'll as others, con-
stitute a country and an intelligent
regard for their welfare is to us the
highest form of patriotism. ANY
thing for the people, is a splendid
slogan but the supplying of their
greatest needs first would seem the
most logical course to pursue. We
feel, also, that there should be
thorough discussion of this subject
through the medium of the press
while there is still time to help those
who are unable to help themselves.
Respectfully,

SOCIALISTS ARE
OPPOSED TO dam
Believe Charity Department Will
Need More Money This Winter

Believing that public money will
be lequired this year for charity, the
socialist party of New Britain has TAX
en- a firm stand against any drain on
the city treasury for unnecessary ap
preparations and in statement pre-
pared by a committee of the party
and rendered to the Herald today, the
reasons for this attitude are ex-
planned. Special objection is shown
to the proposition to spend $500 for
a dam at North End park for the pur-
pose of creating a skating pond.
The statement follows:
Just a few weeks ago our local
charity organization reported their
society in bankrupt condition with
but very little money coming in to
assist them in caring for the deserv-
ing poor Of our city. In your edi-
torial columns it was stated that more
than $4,000 was needed for this pur-
pose. Urgent appeals for financial
aid are being sent out by the organi-
zation and it is admitted that there
is immediate need of money at the
| present time and that, with the cost
! of the necessaries Of life mounting
| higher day by day, it is readily ap-
parent there will be greater need as
| the winter approaches.
Accordingly, it would seem that the
making of necessary provisions
| against needless hunger and suffering
| would be the question Of the hour and
| it is rather strange to discover
through the local press that such Is
| not the case.
Our Chamber Of Commerce voted
at a meeting held last week to ask
| the finance board in q few months for
| an appropriation of 81, 200 for fire
| works and band concerts.
