SALARY REORGANIZATION

The water department, at a recent meeting, voted to appear before the council and ask that the salary of Clerk F. J. Dgan be fixed at $500 per year, the same which he is now re- ceiving. This action is necessary be- cause of the change in the charter. Heretofore the water board was made up of three commissioner one of whom was the clerk. MT. Hgan, as commissioner. drew a salary of $260 and as clerk he received $106O. He has since been relieved of his duties as a commissioner in order that he might continue as clerk and the de- partment feels that he is entitled to continue under his old salary.

A June Wedding Incident. n a corner stiff and solemn.

Like m icy, sTaven column. All unnpticed, stood Q fellow
 Who was shrouded deep in gloom; He was whiting at the collar. And, though I, I'll bet . dollar That that sad and lonely person
 Is the groom. That dress suit looks discontented, Just as though 'tis one he's rented, And the boutonniere he's wearing
 Long ago had lost it's bloom; No one shakes his hand to cheer him. No one offers to go near him, It's q mortal c9nch, this minute,
 He's the groom. His grim countenance perusing Thus I stood there idly musing. And, thought. I'll go and tell him
 He has friends about the room: I will 60 and kindly greet him; Say I'm very glad to meet him; I will whisper words of kindness
 To the groom. While the bride the guests are kissing All the joy of life he's missing. I will gayly say. the altar
 After all is not . tomb. I will say. Come on. be jollyl ,T1s no time for melancholy" And that way I'll rouse the spirits
 Of the groom. So I promptly stepped up to him. Just as though really knew him. slapped his bac!- and with by elbow Gave his ribs the crack of doom; winked my eye and said, ''Be merry, Iris a glad occasion very. Just remember at this wedding
 You're the groom!" Thenh he answered with a below. 'tNow don't you get gay young fellow, Or I'll rush you, mighty sudden.
 From the room: Since you've asked me why my pres-
 ence, I am guardin' all them presents, I'm Detective Mike McGinnis,

NEEDING FEM OUT.

Spain's tentative revolution is now occupying the center of the interna- tional stage. Coming on the heels of the Russian revolution any uprising against king in Europe may be taken as a foreboding of better things to come. The handwriting is On the wall. If this war Is to be pressed to the last ditch, if 1t Is to be successful in any degree from the point of the Entente Allies. the royalty of Europe must suffer.
 Alfonso,is not as secure on his throne today as he was this time last year, or the year before. or before the war broke out. An incipient revolu- ton as seems to be brewing within his empire at.this time may mark the end of the Savoy dynasty, just as the Romonoffs went from Russia and the Hapsburgs are tottering on the throne of Austria Hungary. To this end, to the end that the menarchs of Europe are banished. or even have their power cut down to proper proportions. the war will not have been fought in vain, no matter who loses.
 When the Germans over-ran Bell gium Albert lost his royal sovereignty. Albert. the best, the greatest, the noblest noble of them all. In his case there is regret in many sources: but after ali he is but an individual, and in this war the individual must be sacrificed to society. He was tho first shorn. Then in rapid succession came five other disasters among the houses of royalty. King Peter of Servia and King Nicbolas of Montenegro lied when von Mackensen drove down through the Balkans into Greece. When the greater part of Roumania was seized King Ferdinand fled from Bucharest. The story of Nicholas Romonoff is too recent for repetition. And the last of the tribe was King Constantine of Greece. Six have al- ready been shaved and shorn by the onward march of progress. Others are yet to be weelied out.

WANT TO RECRUIT
 lO5 SOLDIERS HERE
First Regiment Needs More Men
 to Reach War Strength

A recruiting campaign by which Il l Is hoped to enlist 106 men for Cont panies and by July Is to bs , inaugurated here. Col. Richard J. Goodman. commanding the First In- fantry. has sent the following appeal to Mayor George A. Quigley asking help in securing enlistments and as this appeal is no more to himself than 1t is to every man and woman in the city. the mayor has geven 1t out for publication It follows:
 While fully appreciate that un- usual demands have been made and are being made upon you in caring for the registration of men for mili- tary service and assisting in the rais- ing of tho Liberty Loan and of funds for the Red Cross, feel that 1t is my duty to call upon you for still further efforts in behalf of the First Regi- ment. Tremendous demands have been. and are being made upon the people of your city for money. and the same is true throughout the length and breadth of the land. but the funds which are being raised will be of little avail If the men arc not provided for service with the colors. New Britain is the home station of Companies B and I of the First Regi- ment of Infantry, and the people of New Britain have always been. and are, proud of the history and, past records of these companies. In order to raise these companies to war strength in accordance with instruc- tions that have been received from the war department, ono hundred and five mepare required to be distributed as follows: Company B, forty-four, Company 1 sixty-one.
 Tn order to remedy this deficiency of men I ask Your Honor to appoint a committee Of citizens to take this matter in charge. and in this connec- ton would suggest that If the assist ance of the women of the city could be secured believe 1t would have great influence, and Immediately start a campaign for recruits. 50 that the ranks Of the regiment may be completely filled by the first of July.
 ''I regret that 1t seems necessary for me to make thin further call upon Your Honor, but in times past New Britain has always furnished the quota of men required of 1t. and 1t would be source of regret to mo and also to the citizens of New Britain, believe. if we should now fall short in this particular. and solicit your co- operation in this natter

from now on must react to the general
 disadvantage of the United States.
 Elihu Root in his message to the
 new republic of Russia had this to say: I've are going to fight, and have
 already begun to fight. for your free-
 dom equally with our own. and we
 ask you to fight for our freedom
 equally with yours" That is the mes
 sage from one republic to another, the
 message from the oldest republic on
 the face of the earth to the youngest
 republic in the family of free people,
 1t is A message that can be applied
 not only to Russia, but to France ana
 England and Italy and Japan and all the nations allied against Germny. We are going to fight, we have already begun to fight, for their freedom equally with our own. and we in turn ask them to fight for our freedom equally with theirs. If there is one among them that falters the burden must be taken up by the United States. That is the meaning of any signs of weakness on the part of England or any other member of the Entente.
 Notwithstanding the many recent messages of British success at, arms the German army is not yet beaten. No matter how brutal the warfare waged by Germany and the startling methods employed, this much is con- ceded even by their foes. The Ger mans are brutal host, but g brave foe. They are fighting with a relig- ious fervor, believing that the man who Is directing the fighting in which they participate is appointed from a supernal base of operations. They are fighting, although they may not fully realize 1t, in order that the old order of things shall continue to hold high hand over the new order: that the doctrine of the divine right of kings may be preserved to the utter disregard of the common right of humanity. Those two principles. an- tagonistic to each other, have been fighting from the dawn of civilization. They are now in the death grapple. The first principle. the common right of humanity. Is represented by the United States and all the nations at war with Germany. The second prin- ciple. the divine right of kings, is personihed in the Imperial German government.
 Which shall it be. the right of hu- manity or the divine right of kings? This war will determine. The forces that are battling for the house, of Hohenzqllern are now reported to have held the forces of democracy in check, to have sent the outposts of democracy in retreat. If that is so, and there is no reason to believe oth- erwise. the people of the United States must sit up and take notice. A gen. eral retreat in northern France would work havoc. with the safety of dem- ocracy. We. who are lighting that the world may be made safe for democ- racy. will be called upon to take up tho brunt of the battle if the Germans hold their enemies now fighting. This Is 2 precarious position in which the world today finds itself. This calls for somber, sober thought.
