FOR A GLORIOUS RECORD.

Someone has suggested that the
slogan, do your bit" be now changed
to do your best. Insofar as New
Britain is concerned the latter mean
ing OF that phrase prevails. New
Britain has done her best all the wav
through, especially since the United
States of America entered the world
war. There has not been one instance
of stacking here. In Red Cross work
in purchase of the Liberty Loan of
l9l1,'1n enlistments for the army and
the navy, New Britain stands we'll to
the front.
There is not, unfortunately. a COM
plete record of what this town has
done in the matter of enlistments.
There is no way Of ascertaining off
hand how many Of our boys have en-
listed in the army or the navy, or
even the National Guard. This de-
spite the fact that we have sent two
full companies to the service in the
uniform of guardsmen. Some Of our
other towns and were so accredited
1t is the purpose of the Herald to
compile a complete list, if possible,
Of all those who are now in the fed
eral service from this city. To do this
will require the cooperation of all
| our readers. Blanks have been print
ed in this paper for the past week or
| more. and will appear until every
| available name has been turned in to
| this office. So far the response has
been all that could be desired. Every
day brings in a goodly number Of re-
| turns. From the present outlook 1t
| will not take long to compile a for
midable list

! been known as connected with the
army are appearing in the blanks.
| Men who went away from New Brit

ago, and of whom no record has been
kept by the city, are now enlisted

WEAKNESS SEEN IN
MICHAELIS' SPEECH
But Some Editors Believe It
Should Be Rented

London, July 3.-Statements by Dr.
Michaelis, German Imperial chancel-
lor, and Count Czernin, the Austro-
Hungarian foreign minister regarded
here as obviously made in collision,
dominate the news columns Of the
morning papers. They are generally
treated editortally as sign of weakness
while the absence Of reference to the
future of Belgium and Serbia is con-
sidered to exclude all credence in the
desire for peace by understanding.
Austro- German peace talk, unless &C.
companied by an undertaking to
evacuate and restore conquered ter
ritories, is declared merely to be
aimed at delaying Americas prepar-
alton for war.
Herr Michaelis' accusations against
France are dismissed by some COM
mentators as best left for refutation
by French allies but discussed by
others, one Of which says the story is
too true for even Germans to believe.
The Daily News. however, maintains
that although the chancellor's state
ments are valueless as evidence they
cannot be left unanswered and insists
that a state of war aims to be fornu-
lated at the coming conference OF al
lies must constitute an explicit dis
prevail Of all though of conquest for
conquest's sake. The paper denounces
the Ignorance or the folly Of Sir
Edward Carson's threat to drive Ger
many behind the Rhine" which 1t
says, has given DR.. Michaelis a weap-
on which he was swift to use.
"It is the hour Of the Allies to rem
der the weapon innocuous, even turn
ing it against himself but the repud-
iation of his charge must come quick
lv and in a form leaving no loophole
for misinterpretation," the Daily
News adds. The Chronicle proclaims
its belief that 1t would be unwise for
the Allies to deprive Germany of gen.
uine German soil. 1t points out that
while the chancellor talks of vast ter
ritorial notifications he mentions
only the Saar valley and 1t suggests
that France may be aiming to restore
the old German frontier of Lorraine,
which would involve "a little strip on
the German side Of from ave to ten
miles,
If France desired this for strategic
reasons the Chronicle would not say
she necessarily had the right but ut
would be an exceedingly small affair
not comparable for an instant to Ger
many's seizure of two large provinces
in 1871. It must be remembered, too,
that after losing some millions in
killed and wounded In a war forced
upon her and in which she has borne
the brunt of battle for liberty.
France has the right to make ex-
ceptional claims for her future secur-
ity such as Germany had not in 1871
and no other state unless Belgium
would have today"
