THE UKRAINIAN TREATY

IN HE TREATY with the Ukraine marks epoch in the
war; it the first peace compact to be concud
ed since the began.
Whether not this event has important bearing on the
future is quite beyond complete present determination
But the treaty. especially if the Boshevi also conclude
treaty, will have powerful bearing the present Russia
will have food than she needs and OF this food will
go into Germany The withdrawal of all troops from the Ukra
Man front will release to be used against the Allies and
Germany will be enriched by the return of Germans who have
been held prisoner and perhaps the services of Russian prs
Oners who will prefer to remain in Germany.
On the other hand the German regime will be threatened
by the presence and free intercourse with people definitely
committed to political ideals that the antthess of the
Prussian system.
The dynamic power democratic ideas may prove
destructive to the Hohenzoen dynasty than Russian armies
could.

ges is at present holding out to them.
For there are some results which
German organization, ingenious as it
is, cannot accomplish.
1t may be granted, indeed, that the
desire for motherhood springs etern-
ally in the breasts of spinsters. 1t may
also be granted that that desire is not
killed by the knowledge that there are
no husbands Immediately available.
So far, Herr Torges is right. But he
is very wrong if he imagines that any
considerable number of spinisters are
anxious, or even willing, to bear chill
dren which will be called for, as soon
as they are born, by some functionary
of the state and carried off to work
houses or founding hospitals, there
to be trained to be the domestic SER
wants of their more fortunate sisters.
He might as hopefully call upon Mrs.
Punch to bear children for Punch to
throw out of the window.
A German Woman's Protest
Nor is the idea of bearing children
to be soldiers likely to appeal to Ger
man women in the near future. A no.
table utterance by one of them-Frau
Ellen PaSsche-waS lately printed in
the Berliner Tageblatt: care we
young women who have bright young
children playing around US to sacri-
flee them, too, in twenty years time :?
1t must not be. Or are women to bear
children merely as food for powder?
That also is hard to admit German
women must now bear many children
to fill up the gaps that have been
made; but not for war-no, for an
eternal and blessed peace"
AS long as German women talk like
that there is not the least prospect
of their accedfng to Herr Torges'
polygamous propositions for the pur-
pose of supplying the Kaiser with a
new army; and even the power of
Prussian militarism will be incapable
of compelling them to do so. (By The

DANBURY'S MAYOR

4 NTHONY SUNDERLAND Mayor of Danbury, is about to
upon his sixth year of office and the sixth of Dem
ocratic municipal government.
Danbury has unique reputation in the annals of Democ
racy in Connecticut.
From 1914 to 1917 inclusive the Democracy has lost
local election. In this period the risk of combat has been
accepted thirteen times including special election.
This Democratic regime has been entirely free from
da affairs the city have been honestly and efficiently
administered There has been of that unseemy bcker
ing which characterized the politics of neghboring
munities
Mayor Sunderland ought be proud be the head of such
an institution Democratic party in Danbury The Demo
cratic party Danbury proud to have such Mayor
Sunderland for its leader.

The Hats


Every time new hats come in they
are prettier than any before. Satin
with fancy straw seems the favorite
combination, satin brims or satin
crowns. There is a tiny garland Of
little French flowers around the
crown or there is dangling bunch of
cherries on the brim. Some times
there is a grapevine band with clus-
tiers Of fox grapes in beautiful color
ings.
Pokes and Mushroom shapes are
conspicuous and promise to be worn
because they are not only becoming
but exceedingly comfortable. Very
original trimmings are seen. A string
Of coral beads is spread into a wide
and splashing bow. A brimmed hat
has finely plated chiffon OVERLAND.
There are soft crowned tams and
pokes Of finely plated Eserie or ma
line.
Come and see them.
