It surely is a hard battle for a
woman. Why make it harder for her
after she becomes a mother?
There is nothing better in life for
a man than to be a father of a heal
thy child if one is able to properly
take care of it. You who are longing
to be fathers or mothers, why not
get marriage license. 1t is easier
to get than a job in some places. May
you have as many children as you
can properly take care of, but no
more.
would suggest that we have more
stringent marriage laws and those
who are mentally or physically unfit
never be allowed to bear children;
then this might be better place to
live in.-H. E. Schreck.

Both for peace and prosperity, I
feel citizens gratitude to Pres. Viii
son, but as an independent in poll
tics my paramount reason for cast
ing my vote in his favor is that,
through his steady courage and dex-
trous management, he has made the
Democratic party, after so years Of
opposition and flabby initiative, an
efficient instrument of government,
and has thus once more restored the
party system in it's full Vigor to the

PLANNED TO KILL PARENTS FOR MONEY
Millionaire'S Two Sons Are Held
 for Unnatural Conspiracy

Chicago, Jan. 17.-Irving and Her bert Updike, 32 and 19 years of age respectively, taken into custody last night after the police had obtalned evidence of an alleged plot to mur- der their father, Furman D. Updlke' millionaire commission man, and their mother, are still held in jail today at Oak Park, a suburb.
 Chief of Police Lee of Oak street said Herbert, the younger son, IS belnS held merely as a corroborative witness, but he refused to tell what charge, IT any, had been lodged against lrVlng, the elder son. According to a state ment by the police, @ StenOgraph1c re- port of a conversation between the two young men in the Updike garage gave details of an alleged plot to kill Mr. and Mrs. Updike because the police say the son feared his father would change his will and leave the greater portion of his estate to other members of the family.
 Herbert, according to the police, en- tered into the alleged plot with the ln- tention of frustrating it. It was Her. bert who reported the matter to the police.
 Irving told me he was going to Kill father and mother more than a year ago." the younger son told the po- lice. We used to go down in the basement nights and talk about it, When arrested, according to the po- lice, Irving first tried to duplicate his brother and then made a complete confession. The officers were hidden in the garage, where they took sten- ographic report of the conversation between the brothers and later, they say, they found a shotgun and two au- tomatic pistols equipped with silencers.

Assistant Postmaster States That Re- strictions on Employees Are
 Unnecessary.

Washington, Jan. 17.-Publicat1on today of First Assistant Postmaster General Roper's revelations before the house post office committee, concern ing the results of a federal inVestlga- ton showed that he had declared that restrictions placed by surety com- panies on bidders for screen wagon transfer work in the government pos tai service is costing the United States an enormous amount of money un- necessarily.
 MT. Roper's disclosures made in connection with a plea for the estab- lishment of a federal employees guar antee fund has been closely guarded and only became public when an ac- count of the executive session of the committee was inadvertently included in a house report.
 MT. Roper mentioned the American Surety company of New York, which is dominant in the screen wagon bond ing field, as partly responsible for the limited number of bids received for this class of transfer work. The in VestigatOrS termed some of the acts of the companys Washington agent IS "unwarranted, unfair and question: able.''

The Unfit and Armies.

(Toronto Mail and Empire.)
 Between twenty-five and thirty per cent. of the men of military age who have offered themselves for enlistment have been rejected in this city, despite the fact that some of the original re- strictions have been relaxed This is evidence enough that there might we'll be a further relaxation, for it is diff cult to believe that Onequarter of the male population, not disqualified by age or by obvious defects which would prevent a man from offering himself
 is unfit for military service. We may be sure that one-quarter of the Ger man and Austrian populate of simi- lar age has not been rejected, and the
 Germans and Austrians have had as hard fighting to do as any others. Indeed, since up to the present time the initiative has been largely theirs,
 We may assume that their operations have made ever greater demands upon
 the endurance of their soldiers than have been made upon the allies. In
 Canada alone there have been hun
 Gceds if not thousands, of enthusias-
 tic young men who, having been once
 rejected, have trained themselves into
 HCIlGSS or nave SuDJoCCoO CnenSo1VeS
 to medical treatment which has en-
 aIled them to appear again, and this
 time pass the test. It ought to be the
 duty of the government to provide the medical treatment that will en- able an unfit recruit to join the ranks. This matter ought not to be left to the recuit, who may be without the r'eans of securing the attention he re- quires.
 The discovery that at least one quarter of the male population is sufficiently defective to warrant re- jectiOn by medical officers at a time when men are so urgently needed ought, when the war is over to prove 1 a great stimulus to state supervision of the public health. Government
 will probably recognize that it is even more imporant to the state than to the individual that he shall not have flat feet, varicose veins Or some other l little 'out' which gives little or no l trouble to the victim thereof, but which units him for doing his duty l to the state in time of war The 1 medical care of children, which now 1 begins in the public schools, ought to be continued in after years or as long
 s.S citizen remains of military age.
 Periodic examinations by competent l doctors employed by the state would
 probably increase by ten Or twenty 1 per cent. the number of men availa ble | 10 bear arms for their country Above 1 all, the discovery that so many young 1 men are physically incapacitated for i military service should lead to the es- | tab1ishment of a national service sys- | tenn under which every youth and | young man would get the great per-
 sonal and public benefit of good out | Coor training. That would make
 strong men of the weddings and put 1 every man in condition for defensive l service.

DEFENDS ITALY FOR
 FALL OF LOVCEN
Cabinet Minister BarziIai BIames Loss of Montenegro to Ineffective
 Program of Allies.

Padua, Italy, Jan. 16, via Rome, II D. m.-Signor Barzalia, cabinet min ister without portfolio in an address here, today, speaking apparently for the government, declared that it was useless to attribute to Italy responsi- bility for the taking of Lovcen and the Montenegro disaster. As in the case of the loss of Serbia, he said, the blame was collective and the re- suit of the allies ineffective program.
 Our enemies,'' said the minister, find salvation in silent serville, obedience imposed by one man. We should have foreseen this work be- cause of the uncertainties inher ent in a league of free peoples.
 There is no ground for the charge that Italy is responsible for the er- TOTS of last June. To prepare for the protection of a country without from tiers before hostilities were pressing was the common task. Tn the future this order of argument will not be profitable and the governments mak- ing use of it to excuse failures will not merit or receive pardon from their Deoples.''

WAR TIME DRAWN GS.

First Selectman William E. Latham, who was a member of Company t, 2Oth Connecticut Volunteers, has re- ceived two interesting photo-engrav- ings of war time sketches.

PASSENGER TRAINS
 IN FREIGHT CASE
Public Utilities Commission Has
 No Authority

Hartford, Jan. 17.-According to a Richard Higgins of the public utilities commission, the latter has no author ity to compel the railroad companies to suspend the operations of passen- ger trains in order to relieve freight congestion. Some time ago the com mission sent a letter to Chairman FL iott of the New York, New Haven and Hartford Railroad company, in which MT. ElliOtt's attention was called to the fact that it was more important to the people of the state that the necessities of life should be delivered than that war munitions should be sent to belligerents in Europe
 In reply Chairman Elliott said his company was fully conscious of the de- Jay in the moving of freight and real ized the necessity of doing everything possible to remedy the trouble. It later occurred to the commission that the situation could be improved some what if the Pullman parlor cars were taken off. The commission wrote to that effect to the company. Shortly afterwards the Federal Express, made up of Pullman cars, was taken off ! and by it's discontinuance three ad- ditional lOcom otives were at the dis posal of the company for freight ser vice.
 One of the difficulties which the rail road company has had to contend with is that of obtaining help to man freight trains. In many places the company has hired men and the man. ufacturers have hired them over the company's heads by offering them higher wages than the company could afford to pay.
