k1Rl4LHElqHAE3&Ra ed down yeSter-
day directed judg-
eu III Iavor OF the defendant.
The suit was brought by Girvin for
damages for an alleged breach of
contract. Girvin made a deposit as
part payment for the purchase of a
plot 100 feet square at the southwest
corner of Second and Woodbine
streets, owned by Mr.. Shearer. Later
he contends Mr.. Shearer would not
give him satisfactory deed as there
were building restrictions which
were to be put on the plot, one of
them prohibiting the erection of
more than one dwellinghouse. Cir
WINS plan was to use the location for
an apartment house. Judge McCar-
rell in his opinion quotes a number
OF higher court decisions in which
1t is ruled that a purchaser of prop
erty must not necessarily follow out
and observe every building restric
tion put in a deed when a plot is
sold, and that Girvin as a result suf-
fered no loss and was not entitled to
verdict. The point had been re-
served at the trial of the case months
ago and was argued later.

revelations and allegation have made
the public suspicious and sore about
the whole business
Have hundreds of millions of dol
lars really been squandered aimlessly,
or criminally diverted to the pockets
of scheming profiteers, as some critics
have charged? Has the failure been
so bad as it seems to be? And if so, is
it due merely to business incapacity
on the part of the men in charge, or
is it the result of big, reasonable
plot to ball up airplane production and
thus cripple our army?

BUTTS AND IFS

1t was recognized in the civil war
that most harmful propaganda could
not easily be reached by the depart
ment of justice. 1t waslof2the elusive
type that passes currsRt finEsthe daily
speech of the disloyal or half-loyai
who come short of open treason or
sedition
Regarding such, people, and those
who tolerate them Abraham Lincoln
said:
1.-THE man who standsNby and says
nothing when the peril of his govern
ment is discussed cannot be misunder-
stood. If not hindered he is sure to
help the enemy; much more if he
talks ambiguously talks for his coun-
try with butts. and ifs and 'ands'"
The most effective weapon Tor the
suppression of dangerous propaganda
is the calm, persistent pressure OF
public sentiment, applied by patriotic
friends, neighbors and acquaintance.
This sentiment should tolerate no
butts" and Ifs" regarding the nations
ideals and war aims, no sneaking
championship of the enemy, no equl-
vocal patriotism. Every loyal Ameri-
can should conduct himself, at all
times, as responsible representative

office again But this may be coming

might have committed a hundred

in the Hartford market the majority agreed that such action just at this tune might be used as a, basis for the accusation that the producers were Willing to take advantage of the public necessity for milk during the preva- Jence of the epidemic, and for this reason, explicitly stated they voted to defer the increase until a time when. in all probability, the epidemic will have subsided
 The man who makes this unfair charge must know that the Hartford milk rate to consumers, which is likely to go into effect all over the state on November 1, is the rate adopted in New York at the instance of Herbert Hoover, and nobody has ventured to charge MT. Hoover with aiding "profiteering," or with taking advantage of necessities of the pub lie. In New York the 15 1-2 cent rate paid by milk consumers went in to effect on October 1. Mr. Seibert sees nothing wrong in that, but seeks to prejudice the New Britain people against their milk producers merely because they have been willing to let it be known that they see no reason why the Hoover price for milk in New York during this emergency shall not prevail in their locality after the pres ent. emergency shall have ceased to exist.
 MT. Seibert must also know that the Boston milk rate for October is even higher than the New York rate, and nobody has accused the milk pro- dOcers supplying that market of profteering or of taking advantage of the public in 8 time of distress-and the influenza epidemic has been more severe in Boston than almost any where in this country. It is regrettable that anybody in Connecticut should be SC unscrupulous as to attempt to mis- lead the public WantOnly concerning so important a matter as the price of milk, but the thing seems to have been done in New Britain It would he much fairer and more decent to state the actual cost of producing milk at the present time when the grain that must be fed to all produc- tive dairy cows has advanced 300 and 100 per cent. above before-the-war prices, and when milk producers find it impossible to get as much for their milk as 1t costs to maintain their COWS. Small farmers who pay out nothing for labor in the winter season may be able to keep their heads above water, financially, but many owners of large farms who have to hire all their farm labor at double ante-War rates, in addition to buying their grain at sky-high prices, are losing money, and the more cows they are feeding and milking the more money they are losing.

When the Kaiser made his first bid for peace. and was met by a rebuff from the Entente, he declared savagely that there can be but one peace now, peace by the sword" He told his people that his humane plea to stop the slaughter had been re- jected by the enemy and that hence forth the sword and the sword alone could bring the war to an end All right. Why not accept that ultimat- um Of his? Why pay any attention now to his lying assertions that he is innocent of any wrong? Why not simply point out to him that he him self has chosen the method whereby war shall be ended? Peace by the sword" was sauce for the goose. Why not for the gander?

LONESOME WITHOUT SHELLS
Frank Collins Wants Bombardment Of Bottles When He Dons White Coat and Apron Again

Although shells are bursting con- tinually around him, Private Frank Collins of this city writes that he likes it so we'll that when he gets back to New Britain and his old job as wine clerk the "boys'' will have to stand outside the bar and throw bottles at him so he won't get lone some. His letter follows:
 Just a few lines to let you know that I am still alive and well. Since I set sail for the fireworks over here I have seen considerable and I guess I have seen enough. I wish I was back on the old job now with my white coat and apron. There is some difference between tending bar and lodging shells We were out the other night and the Germans started smelling us and believe me they came pretty close-if they came any closer we would be pushing daisies up now.
 Were getting so used to the shells now that we get lonesome if we don't hear them shelling us. When 1 get back on the job I'll have to have some of the boys stand out in front of the bar and throw bottles at my head so l won't get lonesome. l guess we won't be over here much longer the way they are pushing the Germans back and they are talking of it being over by Christmas.

HUN CAMOUELAGE.

Tn last evenings edition The Her ald carried a dispatch from Rome containing the pleasing news that the Germans intend to release deported Belgians immediately. This informa- tion was conveyed to Cardinal Mer- cier, primate of Belgium, in a letter penned to him by Baron von der Lancken, chief of the German politi- cal department at Brussels. His let ter proves not only that the Baron is not possessed of a generous portion of what is commonly known as "salve'" but also that he is just as hypocritical as the other Hun off, cials who slave in the employ of the notorious Hohenzollern system Aft CT the years of persecution to which the Belgians have been subjected by the invading army: after the indignity of Imprisonment which Cardinal Mer- cier had to suffer because he dared to voice protest against outrages in his country; after all the abuse the gardless of the high position he holds and the esteem which he commands in his own and other countries, the German government has the cons1lno- mate gall to send him the following lines:
 You are the incarnation of the
 eminence of occupied Belgium.
 You are it's generated and needed
 pastor. It is, then, to you that
 the government general and my
 local government have charged
 me to announce that when they
 Vacate your territory they will
 spontaneously set free deported
 Belgians and political prisoners.
 They will be, in part. free to re-
 turn to their country on Monday.
 This declaration is of a nature
 that will fill your heart with re-
 joicing. l am all the happier to
 make it to you in that I could not have lived four years among
 the Belgians without esteeming
 them and without appreciating
 their patriotism at it's true value.
 We can hardly blame the Cardinal if he smiled a wee little smile when reading this message of love and af- lection from the murderers of so many of his people.

Routing a F'etici.

(The New York Tribune.)
 War is smashing the old fetiches. The House of Representatives has plucked up courage to levy an income tax on the salaries of the President, Federal Judges and State officers, and also on interest derived from State securities.
 But for the war and the pressure of war taxation Congress would never have challenged the exemption long granted to a few favored office hold CTS and to the owners of State and municipal bonds It would have con- tinued an illogical discrimination based on ancient interpretations of the Federal compact, which them selves became obsolete when the in come tax amendment to the Constitu- ton was ratified.

 As a matter of fact. there is not room for very many Jews in Palestine, even if some adjoining lands were reclaimed and added to it. There will probably be more of them in New York city than in Asia Minor for some years to come. And not very many will be eager to go as perma- nent settlers, tough many would en- list as soldiers in a crusade for it's re- covery. One is reminded of Lord Rotschild's remark that if Zion were restored he wanted to be it's Ambas- sador to the Court of St. James's. But if Rabbi Wise is correctly re- ported as saving: q would feel proud and honored to be a part of that
 small Oriental nation, although would still remain an American citi- gen." it suggests a curious confusion
 of mind. Such dual citizenship is not only impossible, but has not been contemplated. If a Jewish State means anything it should call for complete national allegiance.
 The argument is a little unneces- sary as the creation of some sort of protected State is apparently practi- cally settled upon as an outcome of the war. It would have a political and industrial value to the allied world as well as to the Jews. But no one who doesn't want to go will be sent there. The scheme holds room enough for all shades of Jewish opi- nion and it is hard to see why there should be any quarreling about it.
