out for particularly vicious denounce-
ment. While Allied nations celebrate
the great victory, members of the
American government engage in an
tagoristic discussion and stooD even
to the point of abusing their leader.
Speaking of the seizure of the
transatlantic cables by the admins
tration, Senator Watson said: Il be-
lieve this is a breach of good faith on
the part of the President of the
United States.' Later, he said: I'VE
have the President of the United
States violating, as I believe, again
the letter and the spirit of the law
by taking over the cables for govern
mental purposes"
That is strong language. 1t is not
small matter to accuse the Chief
Executive of "breach of good
faith" and of violating the letter
and spirit of the law" Of course
Senator Watson can produce proof of
his charges. Then again, it is posi-
BILE he was merely talking to the gal
leries and could not resist the temp
tation to let go another shell as
temporary armisttce became effec-
tive.
In these days when our hearts are
light and our spiritual armor bur-
nished bright by victory, it is a drab
and drear picture presented by Con-
gress, sufficient to take the joy out
of being If everyone was not aware
that Senator Watson and others who
pGrrotted his remarks were simply
talking political persihage.

But all of that's forgotten when

All, lady. were my marriage VOW
To keep me, sweet, from loving

A sad admission, but it's true.

And what's the use, since you're my

COMMUNICATED.
rs DIR. RUPERT A CITIZEN?
Mr. Levitt Believes Physician Not
Qualified to DISCUSS Citizenship.

Editor New Britain Herald:
When L answered DR.. Hupert's
communication, I thought that CORE
spondence on the subject was at an
end and that we could continue as
heretofore, live and forget. DR.. HUI
pert's set of astounding facts con-
corning conditions in Poland has
never been in the possession of any,
one in this community except DR. HUI
pert, and regardless of the exhaus-
tive Associated Press reports and
other reliable news dispatches, the
like of his facts have never reached
our shore.
Without hesitat ton do I say that
America has made me what 1 am,
and if accident of birth had made me
a Polish citizen, I would be all that
that country would make me, per-
haps a Jew such as the doctor con-
dennis SO vehemently. With this in
mind readers may judge the justice of
the doctors attack.
The doctor magnifies a mole hill
by contending that Polish Jews
should abandon Yiddish in order to
become Polish citizens. This smacks
of Kaiserism and has never been ad
vocated in this country. No citizen
has ever had his patriotism ques-
toned because he speaks his mother
tongue The children who attend the
Polish parochial school may learn
Polish and still become as good cit1-
zens as English speaking ones.
Let the doctor reserve his condem-
nation of murder, for the unmen-
tionable beasts who killed innocent
women and children in wholesale
massa ere and not express it. for girl
fired with patriotism as was the Jew
ess Kaplan who would kill tyrant
to free her country If her crime was
immoral it is not a fitting time to
call it such.
I admit error in contrasting Or.
Rupert with Ambassador Morgen-
thau. When those words were writ
ten. T was under the impression that
DR.. Huport was an American. But
the fact was called to my attention
yesterday that he is not an American
citizen
Or. Hupert's communications have
often 3ppeared in local and metro
no1itan newspapers without this TACT
being known. and l submit that 1t Is.

ADVICE FOR WORkINGMEN.

Ten and twelve hour shifts mean
big money to workingmen but
what they gain financially they lose in
vigor and energy, according to the
opinion expressed by Patrick Scol-
Inns, an officer of the Bridgeport
lodge of the international Association
of Machinists, the other night. Mr..
Scollins voiced what other men know
but concerning which they have kept
silent.
1t is a novel experience to read of
a labor man defending the employ
ers at a labor meeting but Mr.. Scol-
Inns is apparently a man who dares.
He said:
For nearly two years you have
been working on ten and twelve
hour shifts I don't believe it has
done you any good and it certain
ly has not made you physically
stronger. You may say LOOK
at the big money we have been
making, but l don't see any of
you buying railroads. Don't
malign the manufa cturers and
don't accuse those in Washing
ton. You are alone to blame.
1t is apparent that if labor troubles
occur during the period of readjust-
mert, Mr.. Scollins will not be a party
to them. He shows a broadness of
vision that is too infrequent1y found
in the circle in which he lives The
country must look to just such men
as Mr.. Scollins to help to guide it
struction. Incidentally it will be just
as necessary for manufacturers to
abandon some of their antiquated
ideas and meet the laboring man half
way.

press his conception of citizenship
for any people who has not seen fit
to grasp the worlds greatest civic
honor, that of American citizenship.
The doctors twelve years residence in
this city and his abilities qualified him
long ago, had he so desired.
I deplore the fact that the doc
tors utterances make this stateme nt
necessary, but his discourses on a
subject strange to our ears and bitter
to our hearts make it imperitive. He
has indeed treated US to a unique and
undesirable point of view, unwelcome
to Americans and new to journalistic
history in New Britain.
The transgression of the doctor is
not that he is not a citizen but that
he could have become one years ago
and did not.
Herald readers will now feel that a
bunko game has been perpetrated up
on them, for after reading his nu-
merous letters on good and bad citi-
zenship they discover that he is not
Am erican.
The doctor does not understand us
Americans We do not look to race
or creed. Evil and virtue are uni
versal. 1t is the individual to whom
individual ability do we honor him.
Our conception of citizenship differs
with his. We ask that man be law
abiding and loyal. We expect him to
become a citizen if he likes this
country If the United States is good
enough a land in which to earn
money and acquire property and pro-
tect one ''in pursuit of happiness,
then it is fitting that he join US in
citizenship.
In concluding let me thank the
many people, most Of them of a diff
ferent creed than mine, who have
complimented me for my part in this
controversy, especially the Americans
of Polish descent who resent most
emphatically4 Dr. Hupert's letter of
Nov. 10TH, and. who assure me that
the doctor speaks only as an indivtd-
ual and does not voice or represent |
the Polish people in New Britain.

Secretary Baker is reported to have
susp pended in his office a chart show
ing the decline of the German morale
from the beginning of the war. The
Germans never had any morale.
They were possessed Of an artificial
bravery which psychologists might
call gang spirit. Individually they
were towards and individuality is the

SAYS MANN WAS PRO-GERMAN.

Opposition to James r. Mann, as
Republican Speaker of the House, Is
beginning to be voiced by many in
ependent-minded editors. The Wa
terbury American is the latest to fire
a broadside at the aspirations of Rep
resentative Mann:
He has the wits, the pluck and
the parliamentary resources that
make him a redoubtable floor
leader. But the war proved him
to be unequal to the real test of
Americanism. He was pro-Ger-
man in spirit, in words and in
votes. Respect for the usual Or
der of Congressional succession is
all that could lead to his selec-
ton as Speaker.

STREET.

Respect for age would naturally
protect Senator Thomas Staples Mar
TIM. chairman of the Senate Appro-
pria&ions Committee and Democratic
Leader In the Senate, from criticism
but these are times when men must
Do Judged with unbending hrmness
and Justice.
Among several staten ents ascrfbed
to Senator Martin are:
There Is no need for compul-
sorry military service
We must do away with every
war industry, bureau, administra-
ton and all things which have to
do with the war which is over
and past now.
Close munition factories Stop
making guns. Stop making
shells.
Peace is here and peace will
stay long time.
1t is evident Senator Martin was
speaking of the need for calling a
halt to all extravaganza, which is
born of war and which is peculiar to
no single country. In this aim he
was right. There should be retrench-
ment. There should be economy
But Senator Martin goes too far
He would cripple all agencies which
would make national defense posi-
Bile. He would return to those go-as-
YOU please days in America when we
we're not prepared to ward off at
lacks and when we were hlissfully ig-
norant of the fact.
Taking Senator Martins last state
ment first: Peace Is here and will
stay a long time 1t requires a SUI
Yes, peace is here but its stay will de-
pend on the ability of each nation to
preserve peace. We will have peace
until some country discovers the
world is growing soft again, that it
Is in fertile state for conquest.
Then we will have war, as swift, as
horrible as that from which we are
emerging,
AS to doing away with ell war in
dustries, bureaus. administrations
etc., that Is a. worthy object. We will
not need them, but we must not for
get how to act when we do need
them. If Uncle Sam should step out
the front door Of the Capitol some
day and nail sign Men Wanted" to
one of the pillars we must have the
men to respond.
Compulsory military service Is a
subject that permits of wide discus
sion. If 1t means we are to become
military nation and goose step up
and down on the parade ground so
the world may look on and shudder
keeping the manhood of this nation
at 100 per cent. physical efficiency
and able to- handle q gun and jump
into position instead of hiding under
the bedclothes when the burglar
alarm goes off then compulsory mill
tary training is wanted. Aside from
make poor men better men, and good
men first class men, and it will teach
them respect for the flag and for au-
thority.
During the period of reimbursement
it will be necessary, as Senator Martin
8 says. to close munition factories, stop
making guns and stop making shells,
B put production should not go back to
zero. We are going to have a ire
mendous merchant marine. That will
q require an active and watchful navy.
! And navy without shells or guns
might as well drop anchor in the
Great Sallz Lake and stay there.
America would be neglectful of its
u future if it allowed itself ever to be-
h come PROSTATE and defenseless again.

COMMUNITY CHRISTMAS
TREE WILL Be A WONDER

Plans for Watertowns first big
community Christmas tree are NOV
ing along splendidly. At a meeting
held last evening reports of the vari-
Gus committees were given, The
members of the committee are work
ing eagerly and enthusiastically to
make WatertOwn's first community
tree one that will ever be remembered
by the Riddles and the grown ups Of
this city.
The big tree will be formed of ever
green trees arranged like branches
upon a large pole. Nine dozen trees
will be used in the construction. The
Gas and Electric Co. have agreed to
furnish the pole and will attend to
setting it up. The Barker Lumber Co.
have generously agreed to furnish the
lumber for the erection of the large
platform on which the singers are to
be seated.
All the church chOirs of the city
have been invited to participate in
agreed to do so. The program, which
will be announced at a later date, will
consist of Christmas music and will
include solo numbers, choruses and
community singing The school chill
dren under the direction of Miss Lad
wig, will take part in some of the
chorus work.
The Christmas tree is for every res
ident of Watertown and it is to be
hoped that everyone who can will par
ticipate in the celebration. In the
hope that the people employed in the
stores may be enabled to be present
at the program, letter has been sent
to the Business Mems association ask
ing them to give the matter their con-
sideration, and if they find it possible
to allow the clerks some time off be-
tween the hours of 4:30 and o'clock
Mr.. Beurhaus of the finance COM
mittee is ready at any time to accept
the dollars of those wishing to be-
come members of the brighter
Christmas Club" More money means
bigger and brighter tree. Christmas
time is the season of giving, so lei
