NO REVOLUTION BREWING
Socialist Leader Says Holland Has No
Place For Observation-Disclosures
People to Remain Calm.

Rotterdam, Sunday, Nov. 17-There
is no revolution in Holland. nor is
there likely to be. PETER J. Troelstra,
the socialist leader, speaking today at
a great labor congress here, at which
1888 trades unions and labor organ
izations were represented, not molly
repudiated violent methods, but ad-
mtted that his earlier utterances had
resulted in a misunderstanding of his
position.
Extremists who would introduce
Bolshevism are in a hopeless minority
in Holland. Soldiers and civic and
labor societies desire reforms, but by
lawful methods, apparently reading
the signs of the times, the government
will give Immediate attention to the
labor program. It's appeal to the
people not to jeopardize chances of
obtaining food supplies from the
allies by domestic violence has been
powerful deterrent to those who
might have caused trouble.

COMMUNICATED.
DIR. RUPERT TO MIR. LEVITT.
Physician Takes Exception to State
mentS By Lawyer.


EDITOR New Britain Herald:
Dear Sir:
NV letter is g. statement of cOndi-
tons in Poland. Mr.. Levitt fears 1T
may recite an ignorant and simple
people to outrageS" and it seems 1t
had affected the artistic tempera-
ment of our esteemed manager of q
popular moving picture house. l do
not care to fiatter any Jew, but 1
repeat that the American Jew is
totally different rom the average Jew
in Poland. If Mr.. LIE Witt cannot see
any difference between his culture
and mntality and that of the aver
age Jew in Poland I am sorry, be-
cause both types have nothing ia
common but perhaps their religion.
Practically all Americans despise
the Bolshevikiand all your protests
will not change the fact that many
of the Bolshevik leaders are Jews
I never said that all the Jews are
BolsheviI<i-and for sinister purpo ses
have assumed Russian and Polish
namest to facilitate their destructive
work of demoralizing and running
some creduIous Polish working men.
Only lately a gang of Bolshey1kl
under Radek has been sent to War
saw with that mission.
When you say that honor should
have prompted the doctor to mention
that q JeWess named Kaplan at
tempted to assassinate Lenine." I re-
ply that a gentlema condemns all
violence and murder. If she is a
heroine to some Jews, 1 pity such
morality; to me she is only an I'M
successful murderess.
There is neither logic nor sense in
making Poland responsible for the
cruelties Of Czaristic Russia and in
recalling an anarchists deed in sup
port of your Defense The Poles suf-
fered from Russia more than the Jews
Very bad taste and a rotten argu-
mentation for a lawyer 1t would
have been better to recall that the
Huns entering Warsaw after running
Poland were greeted by the Jewish
population as liberators with flowers,
candies and all good things.
Mr.. Morganthau is out of place in
this discussion. He was protecting
the Armenians as an American am
bassador,not as a Jew
You are not correct when you say
that the President will give My Peo-
pie the land which belongs to them
Being an American your only land is
the United States Palestine belongs
to the Hebrews.
The hand of brotherhood is out
stretched the Jews in Poland who
are willing to be true loyal Poles.
God speed to the undesirables whose
language is Yiddish whose schools
are Yiddish,, who want to form a
Yiddish separate nation in Poland,
who are ultra-radical or Bolshevist
and would endanger the welfare and
safety of new Poland. Godspeed to
them from Poland
My pen is not gentle when truth
hurts
Respectfully.

Will Not Buy Wood.
The tabled recommendation for the
purchase of wood came up at the
meeting. Alderman Richards and
Councilman Wells favored the project.
Alderman Richards said that New
Britain is short probably 10000 tons
Of coal. Councilman Gillin was not in
favor of the measure and stated that
already the mild weather has saved
in the city. 1t was generally the spirit
of the meeting that the supply of coal
is not to he as short this year as many
think Alderman Curtis remarked
that he read of an order from Wash
ington stating that all miner-soldiers
should be sent home as soon as pos
sible in order that they might help in
getting the coal out of the mines.
Several made mention of the fact that
the stopping of lighting will turn a
much larger amount of coal back into
this country which would be used on
transports destroyers, etc. 1t was al
so the general sense of the meeting
that the city will have enough coal
for the winter.
A special appropriation of $1,000
was made to cover the deficit made by

Unless the drys get busy and work

amendment is in danger of losing in

The vets are working quietly and
Systematically" he continued. Their
most dangerous propaganda is verbal
for we can't locate the sources of this
or stop its insidious effect.
II think that if the national amend
ment comes to vote in the Iowa
Legislature it will pass. But the vets
will work hard to see that it does not
come to vote.
Iowa is one state which the liquor
people are counting on to turn this

defeat the amendment and Iowa is one
of these"

Saving Mineral Waste.

Up till quite recent times the loss
of tin at the Welsh mines has been
nearly ten per cent Of the total amount
OF the metal mined. Now. by the use
OF electrical apparatus, the loss has
been lowered to one per cent. This Is
a fair sample OF the reform now 60
ing on in all mining operations. Ores
once thrown away. are now used, and
old dumps are being worked at a
profit sometimes not much less than
was made by the original owners OF
the mine. The silver mines Of At.
tica were worked by slave labor'more
than twenty-five centuries ago and
were thought exhausted. but In recent
times the ancient waste has been run
through modern processes and made
to pay.
