GEORGES GUYNEMER.

It took forty German airplanes In
a massed attack to bring down Captain
Georges Guynemer the intrepid French
aviator. Before that fatal event which
occurred this week the French air
man had claimed some fifty odd Ger
ing. The official records credit him
with 1fty-three planes and their
operators. How many others he
brought down may never be known.
His compatriots of the aerial chase,
however, accredit him with more.
And Guynemer was but twenty-three
years of age.
The name of this gallant French
of history. His brilliant career will be
held up for the edif1cation of French
youth in centuries to come. His cour-
age and daring will be set forth by
fathers of another age who will spur
their sons on to like achievement.
Guynemer what though he was cut
short in the heydey Of his youth will
live so long as the French Republic
lives Such deeds as he performed
are enough to stir the blood of young
and good manhood the world over.
His examples may be followed, not
alone in the air, but in the more
prosaic occupations.
The science of aviation, call it an
art if you please, is in it's infancy.
1t has by no means reached perfection.
Twenty five years ago the man who
ventured to prophesy the recorded
deeds of today would be laughed out

(New York Evening Post).
Connection between the war and
a revision of the Anglican prayer
book might seem remote. 1t exists
however, as was lately brought out
in convocation. Discussion arose
over the proposed omission of the
Imprecatory Psalms from the pas
sages Suitable for recitation in
public worship" The vote to omit
them was carried by the narrow ma
pority of 26 to %, but not until sew
eral clergy had protested that the
maledictory passages gave comfort to
many minds as they thought of Ger
man atrocities. One ingenious arch
deacon argued that the chanting Of
the Gloria after even the most ter

heads of enemies gave 1t "a Chris

story Of DR.. Charming and the lady
who went to him in distress over the
verse: Happy shall he be that TAX

have been inspired by God? But the
good doctor read the words with such
a benevolent and appealing emphasis
upon the word happy" that 1t made
the sentence sound almost like one
of the Beatitudes, and the troubled
lady went away strengthened in her

It's Wonderful Thing Mother

Mother Does For Her Boy.
To the Editor of the Herald
Very often Of late I have noticed
that you speak of mother in your col
umns. Let me say that the world is
full of mothers but many are such in
name only. The true mother never
forgets her boy I care not by which
road he is travelling.
He may come home late at night
and tumble with the old latch string
Who is it that has sat up for him till
the small hours of the morning pa
tiently waiting her boys return? Who
is it that first hears the unsteady step,
the muffled click of latch? Who is
it that meets the boy after he's in the
hall and though his breath is heavy
with foul smelling spirits, who is it
that tenderly, though with m any signs
and tears leads the boy to the old
Boston rocker perhaps standing by the
fireplace or kitchen stove, and ten
derby presses his poor, tired body back
into it's warm embrace? Why it's
mother of counsel. Who is it that re-
moves the sodden shoes and socks re-
placing them with warm, dry ones :?
Mother. Who is it that prepares the
hot, strong cup of coffee the poor
nervous fellow stands so sadly in need
of? Why, mother! Who is 1t that
after she has induced him to eat a
little something, who is it that leads
him up to his chamber and assists
him to bed, and then falling down be-
side that bed, with her wet face bur-
led in the folds of the old patchwork
quilt her knotty fingers sewed, prays
simply asking God save my boy?"
Then she softly bends over her sleep
ing son, tenderly touches his forehead
with her withered lips, takes up the
light and descends the old oaken
stairs.
Then there comes day when she Is
placed in the casket. Kind friends
bring flowers. the last words are spok-
en-, and mother is laid at rest. All, the
sweetness of mother prayer. All,
the brightness of this kind of a moth

THE BURDEN OF WEALTH.
Pity, Not Envy, the Poor Fellow Who
Has q Million Or So
(Manchester


Most persons look with envy upon
the very rich. They wish that they
too might be millionaires or multi
millionaires, and picture themselves
living a life of ease and luxury. Yet
it is doubtful whether millionaire is
as happy as a. laboring man. Ger
tainly he is not as happy as one who
has congenial employment and
comfortable though not lavish in
come. The man who base the care
Of a million or more has a burden
to carry. To invest so large sum
safely is no small task. All sorts
of schemers will flock around him
trying to get it away from MIN. Pro-
moters of wildcat schemes camp on
his trail, and seekers Of charity,
worthy and unworthy. pour their
tales into his ear. Not frequently
he is the target for blackmailers.
His great wealth sets him apart, and
he cannot enjoy familiar intercourse
with friends and neighbours as other
men do.
Probably the most satisfying use
+. q man can make of a great fortune
is to give it away. But to give
wisely requires much careful investi-
cation and sound judgment. It also
involves unpleasant differences Of
opinion with those who think that
they should be the recipients of the
rich mans bounty.
When the rich man dies his for
tune obscures whatever Of merit may
have existed in his character He is
forgotten while his heirs quarrel over
their inheritance. In many instances
they have been hoping that provi-
dence might hasten the end in order
that they might get their hands on
the fortune.
The newspapers are full Of the
troubles of the wealthy. People
like to read about them and think
how they would avoid such troubles
if they had the money. But they
don't realize the obsticales to happi
ness in a rich mans life. If they did
they would prefer to remain poor.

Some Of these same folk who lave
had their boys called under the law
have now taken down their flags.
Shame on them! If anything they
should put out more flags. It was not
until my boy went that I hoisted Old
Glory, and it's going to stay on the
staff until he comes back
This sentiment speaks for itself.
About the mothers and fathers who
have taken in the colors because their
boys have been called to the service,
the least said about that the better.
1t is true that some families have done
this very thing. 1t is common talk
on certain streets in this city that
where Old Glory once foated to the
breezes is now a vacant place. Even
the nag-poles have been taken down
with the flag in some instances. That
is all wrong. 1t is excused temper
arily as "bit Of temper on the part
of those who have lost their sons
against their will. We understand
the mother love that prompts woman
in such case; but the distempef'
rate. When reason returns to these
folk we firmly believe they will see
the folly Of their ways and once again
put Old Glory where it belongs. on
the top of the pole.
The thought in mind should ever
be this: Before this war we lived and
prospered in America. We lived on
the fat of the land. The government
was run for our benefit, and not for
the benefit of a few royal families;
not for a handful of princes and
potentates. Then everything was
lovely and the goose hung high. We
were getting lot and giving nothing.
Now has come the war and with it
demands on our personal conveniences.
We are asked to make sacrifices We
are asked for either life or treasure
Why should we begrudge either to
nation that has been such good
friend to it's people as America? IT
that old flag was good enough to live
under in the old days when 1T pro-
tected us without much effort, 1T sure
lv should be good enough to fight
under, or to send our boys to fight
under, in this day when it asks US
to protect it.
Come. let's brace up and be real
American men and women. Let us
do as the mother who wrote the
aforementioned letter. Let us be glad
of the opportunity which presents it
self and do all we can for our coun-
try. If there are any who are afraid
to 20 to war, let them remember that
life is lust as uncertain on the streets
of New Britain as it is in the trenches
of Europe. We need only look back
a. few days to see how they shoot
down or cut their throats/ Autom obiles
are Just as wild as ever and the num-
Der of railroad accidents has not
diminished perceptibly.
Mothers, as well as the boys called
to the front, should consider these
things we'll. The family that 'lays
down" now and refuses to help Uncle
Sam in every way possible will be
branded as traitorous and after the
war will be ostracized.' The man who
is a Stacker and a coward today need
look for no surcease from his sorrow
of tomorrow, a sorrow that will be
imposed by righteous and indignant
people.

A PROTEST.

New York Lawyer objects to Use
of "Italian''
To the Editor of New Britain Daily
Herald.
New Britain, Sept. 28th.
The Italian colony of New Britain
is profoundly surprised to see stated
the deplorable usage involved in the
local "press," intitling the chronicle
regarding the Italians with the appel
lative, which is useless and tensile:
Italian.
It is a manner not quiet correct
and can't be further tolerated., as
from it appears certain tensities, in
placing within dim light not the guilty
ones of crimes, but the nationality to
which they belong.
The qualification of Italians is Of
the whole superfluous, as the only
personal names are sufficient without
to reveal the country of origin. The
intention Of the gratuitous offense is
manifest, as whenever it deals OF
facts regarding objects of other
criminalities the press be more safe
guarded citing: American, French,
Irish, German, Jewish, etc.
Why? Why then in yesterdays
Herald Sept 9th cite: Indict Italian
gunner?
The Italian Colony Of New Britain
is constituted with laborious and
honest elements and will not stand
for a such wrong from the press
part which should be master OF i'm
partialities and correctness.
We feel assured that these just yex-
posed reasons shall be taken in close
consideration in the future.
