ting in the bleachers during the de-
bates.
Of all the opinions, the Providence
Journal offers what seems to be the
best objection TO the journey: He
would be away from the United
important legislation is being enacted
in Congress"
Urging the President to attend,
the Philadelphia Public Ledger says
'"fhey thc warweary tOilerS, the
passionate believers in democracy
would feel that their foremost cham
pion was at the peace table"
If the President did not expect to
remain Throughout the conference,
the Baltimore Sun believes no harm
would be done. 1T now appears,
says the Sun, that the proposal that
President Wilson should attend the
peace conference contemplates no eX-
tended stay, but merely an attend
anCe at the opening or a few OF the
more important sessions. In such an
adventure we can see no possibilities
of great harm and tremendous pos
sibilitieS of good"
The editors who approve Of Presi-
dent Wilson going abroad do so for
the moral Or sentimental effect his
presence at the conference would
lend. The opponents believe he should
remain in the United States as a guild
ing power in unraveling the war ma
chine. If he was needed at Washing
ton during the days of war-and no
one will deny the will be doubly
needed during the greater task Of
emerging from our armor.

If New Britain is to return to it's
Ere-war growth, it is essential that
more tenement houses be constructed
At present the demand for tenements
Is great the supply very limited; in
fact, the supply cannot begin to
compare with the demand
War conditions naturally interfered
with building here. TIE appeal of
the munitions Factories even before
the United States became q belliger-
ent, was so strong that workmen
skilled in the art of construction,
dropped the adj and the hammer and
shortage of necessary labor result
ed. The price of lumber and other
materials that enter into the erection
of houses became prohibitive and
building came almost to a standstill
as investors could see no return on
their money.
Almost from the beginning of the
European war there was Il steady de-
cline in tenement house construction.
502 tenements were added. The fol-
lowing year 446 were added. The de-
cline was certain but not sharp in the
year ending March 81, 1917, when
houses containing 376 tenements were
built, but in the following year, 1917
IS, the number fell to 1923. In the six
months since March 81, last, only 81
tenements have been added to the
city's total. These figures were OBJ
tanned from Building Inspector Ruth
erford, who estimates that the city is
500 tenements short, a serious situa-
ton for a community that hopes to
expand.
1t will be many months before
building operations are resumed with
their old time speed Labor will drift
slowly back to it's former paths but
wages will probably continue to be
high. A decrease in the price of ma
terial is anticipated, which should
lend some encouragement to those de-
sfrous of investing their savings in
tenement buildings.

MIKE SCOTT-NO ADDRESS"

american Casualty List)
Just homeless, rowing sort of chap,
Gayly knocking round about the
earth.
Into any decent kind of scrap
So it were but big enough of girth:
Glad to get his chance to mix it
rough,
Fight for freedom on the fields of
France,
Show him of Scottish Yankee stuff,
Teach the Huns a lively back-step
dance.
First and foremost where the fight
was hot
Just Mike Scott!
Mike, who cared to give them no ad-
dress:
Named no friend nor any kith or
kin.
No acknowledged old home town to
bless,
No loved hearts to spur him on to
Leaving not an eye to scan the list,
Recognize his we'll beloved name
And ne sure the jolly Mike they
missed
Played so well this last and great
est game;
y ct we know he fought most soldier
like:
Right there Mike!
Though no record stand of whence he
came,
He has made his record with the
rest:
Played his part out on the fields of
fame,
Been among the men who back
WARD pressed
All the flower of the German line,
Taught the Boche respect for yam
kee blows;
Where Mike hailed from needs no
special sign
Mike himself knew and the kaiser
knows!
Knows and trembles! Whence 4?
Enough to say u. S A.

THE DEADLY MONOCLE.

At last the monocle has won Off
cial recognition as weapon OF war,
not as destructive as a sixteen inch
gun but sufficient for it's purposes.
Admiral Sir RossIyn Wemyss met
delegates from the German fleet and
was quite astounded to hear the
spokesman say 1T is inadmissible
that our fleet should be given up
without having been beaten.''
Admiral Wemyss fixed his monocle

Let us go over the Top" for our

with our Thanksgiving Day Donations,
this year.
Let us all get busy and eager to
answer the appeal made to the
churches, the schools, the neighbour
hoods, to every one, for practical help
| for the inmates of the New Britain
General Hospital and the Children S
Home.
To cover more generous field of
philanthophy it was deemed practical
this year to combine the efforts of the
Woman's Hospital Board and the
Home Economics Committee, for the
accomplishment Of best results
By this means the two institutions
will be equally benefited as the Home
| Economics Committee plans to divide
the donations received equally be-
tween the New Britain General Hospi-
tai and the Klingberg Children's
Home.
In order to, avoid duplication Of
gifts, effort and time, the usual dona-
tions of financial contributions, fresh
vegetables, jellies, cereals, condiments,
groceries, fruits, chicken-dare we
! mention turkey and candy-will be
gratefully received by the committee
of the Woman's Hospital Board as
| usual, with the hope of an additional
gift Of things mentioned for the chill
| dren of the Klingberg Home.
The Home Economics Committee
will cOnfine itself to an appeal for
| canned vegetables and canned fruit ex-
| clusively. An exhibit of these goods
| secured by the above named commit
| tee will be made at various grocery
| stores in our city, with attractive
| posters bearing on the matter one week
| before Thanksgiving and we hope will
| have good results.
To avoid confusion packages should
| bear the name of the institution for
| which they are Intended, and name
! and address Of donor. To reduce the
work gifts may be directly
| delivered to the basement OF
/ the New. Britain General Hos
| pital and to the Children's Home
office at 1903 West Main street where
| they will be duly recorded. Or, with
| the sanction of the pastors of the

the date and scope of the Thanksgiv-
ing Day collection, they may be left

HOLD YOUR BONDS
LII Liberty Bond Owners Try to Sell
Them in the Market Price VIII
Drop Below Par.

Washington, Nov. 16.-Despite the
operation of the treasury sinking fund
for buying up a limited quantity of
Liberty Bonds thrown on the market,
treasury officials said today nothing
can prevent the price from continu-
ing below par after the war, if many
holders sell their bonds. Consequent
ly d campaign of education seeking
to have owners hold bonds will be
started after the next war loan.
The treasury virtually has given up
hope of developing q scheme for ar
tificially stabilizing the price.
The extent to which the sinking
fund has been used to absorb bonds
has not been disclosed. First Liberty
Bonds bearing IL per cent, inter
est yesterday sold at $3.50, second
