She blushed and trembled. But she
had spent all the days of his absence
in that intimate comradeship with
Hardy. At the moment when Wander

her will rallied, her eyes hardened
with resolution.

The slash of a whip in his face would
have stung him far less. He stared at
her a long moment. while the full
meaning of the words cut through the
armor of his self-esteem. Modification,
anger, furious chagrin famed in his
face. He raised his hand as IL to
strike her, and instead, whirled about
and rushed out through the porch.
The girl sank on her knees, and
pressed her hands to her lips to stifie
the cry that would have called him
back. When she looked up, her face
was white and drawn with anguish.
But she had conquered.

WMshington's Views.

Washington, Dec. 27.-The condi- tons surrounding Count Czernin's s proposals for a basis of peace cause officials here to feel some apprehen- sion for their sincerity. There is a great disposition to feel that the ob- ject of the German plenipotentiaries Is simply to protract the negotiations as long as possible without any ex- pectation of an immediate peace agreement with the Bolsheviki lead ing the German people to believe the government is really desirous of mak- ing peace, and of gaining time for the further strengthening of the Ger
 man lines in the west.
 One condition regarded as impos- sible for the present at least Is that the adherence of all belligerents must be secured to the peace Germany is trying to make with Russia before it can become effective. This is accom- plished by a demand for the return of the German colonies now in the possession of Russia's allies.
 It can be stated authoritatively that the position of the American govern ment has not changed in any respect with regard to it's determination to enter into no agreement with a gov ernment which does not represent the free will of the governed people. This would dispose of any hope the Ger mans might have that the Russians could induce America to subscribe to the peace treaty which they are now trying to arrange. As for the Ger man colonies the American govern ment has never recorded itself on the subject.
 Premier Lloyd George recently de- clared that was a subject for the peace conference.
 No consideration is made in Czer- nin's terms for the return to France of Alsace-Lorraine which is regarded here as a condition that must be met as preliminary to any peace agree ment, an understanding declared by President Wilson in his message. to congress. n the light of the extra ordinary efforts Germany has been making to rid these provinces of French inhabitants it is believed here that Germany may propose a plebis- Cite of inhabitants, relying upon the vote of German soldiers and the im- ported German population, but such g. proposal probably would be rejected by the United States and her co-bel- ligerents

Boots and opportunity.
{ (Meriden Record) )


 The congressional gentleman who. came back from France so grieved that he "saw things he does not like to talk of" omitted one vital point. in his logical processes He felt that because he saw privates backing ofIi- cers boots the morale of the army was being lowered. This is what hc' forgot: g
 In the Prussian system of military castes. the man who blacks another's. boots does so because he is of inc ferior rank. It is assumed as a mat ter of course that the man beneath gets the disagreeable jobs because hA is beneath: that he is born that way and can never rise to anything highoT. Whereas in the American system, tho man who blacks anothcr's boots dcNS so simply because there Is a certain amount of work of one kind and ans other to be done, and the man who does it happens to have amA for thA1 particular job. There is no odium At-a tached to it at all! It4 3pst lt<tlu piece of work. And In . dem ocracy everybody works and tho hardest tob9 are given those in the highest places.
 And most important of ali. the man who blacks his officers boots to- day may tomorrow be receiving his own officers commission and next week. if his ability runs along that line, he may be in command of his former commander. That's what de- mocracy means-not caste, but op-f portunity.

BABY DOLL,' AND A MORAL.
The Dangerous Sysecm of Machine Made Politics Both Make Scou1allrels of Many Men.
Bridgeport Farmer)

Thirteen times within brief period came the negro desperate, Baby Doll, into the precincts of the city courts. Thirteen times he escaped without any penalty being indicted. that operated for his own good. or for the protection of the community.
 It becomes a question in the do- mains of morals to what extent the city court was an acoomplice before the fact in the diserareful riot on Sunday morning, and in the murder that ensued.
 Baby Doll comes from a race that has had comparatively small chance in America. Some of tho members of that race are refined, honest, industri- ous and intelligent as any white man.
 Some of that race hark back to the jungles of Ethiopia. Under their mod ern garments they are as savage as their ancient forbears.
 When such a man is haled into the white mans courts, petted by justice and sent back to carry on his work of disrupting society, how can 1t be sup posed that he will become other than an increasing menace to tho social or- der.

SUGAR CAUSES TROUBLE.
Jacob Dean Fined For Insulting stor
 Keeper Who Had None to Sell.

Eagerness to secure some sugar with which to replenish his depleted larder caused Jacob Dean to so forget his manners as to insult Mrs. Friedman, a Hartford avenue grocery store keeper, last night. As a result Dean was ar rested on technical charge of breach of the peace and was fined s with out costs by Judge John H. Kirkham in police court this morning.
 Dean was represented by Lawyer M. D. Sake who said that his client had left some money with Mrs. Friedman which was to pay for a quantity of sugar when 1t arrived. Deans claim was that the storekeeper failed to save him some of the scarce commodity with the result that he became unddly excited. Mrs. Friedman claimed that before a store full of customers Dean upbraided her severely and called her names that must be deleted by the censor.

 In letter to his parents in this city, Harold Malone, a member of the American Expeditionary Force in France, tells of the excellent health that New Britain boys are enjoying in the foreign country The letter also states that very little of the war ac- tivities is known by the soldiers, and the best information they receive Is through the American papers sent them.
 Private Malone is stationed near Lieutenant Joseph A. Glover, and they meet as often as possible. The men in service were given an ex- cellent menu at Thanksgiving and were expecting a bountiful repast on Christmas.

 In this connection there iS some wonderment being expressed, about the city as to what effect government ownership would have on tho city's tax list. It is believed that should the government buy these pieces of property and build factories the city would be deprived of the tax income from them. inasmuch as government property in a municipality. such as the post ofIice, Is non taxable.
