ASSURANCES FROM THE
 PRESIDENT

If much-befuddled financial sit vigor after the railroads had been placed under Government control, there must be even greater confidence expressed in these same circles upon the reading Of the Presidents message to Congress on this day. Therein he further states his reasons, and the reasons of the nation, for such drastic action. As he puts it: ITO assume control of the vast railway systems of the country is, I realize, a very great responsibility; but to fail to do so in been much greater. I assumed the less responsibility rather than the weightier." Stating that transporta- ton supplies all the arteries of mobii- zation and therefore must be under a single and unified direction, the Pres ident treasures the public that mo- thing will be done to harm or hurt the
 public or the private interests in rail- way systems. ''It is necessary" he
 says, "that the transportation of
 troops and war materials of food and
 of fuel and of everything necessary
 for the full mobilization of the en-
 orgies and resources of the country should be first considered; but it is clearly in the public interest also that ! the ordinary activities and the normal l industrial and commercial life of the 1 country should be interfered with and 1 dislocated as little as possible, and l the public may rest assured that the l interest and convenience of the private safeguarded as it is possible to serve and safeguard it, in the present extra 1 ordinary circumstances It was the
 financial argument that presented it. self stronger than all others in the talk ing over of the railroads. Now that the small investors of the country are guaranteed further protection by the President of the United States, who pleads their cause before the joint houses of Congress. the financial situ-
 ation should feel itself highly benc- fitted. If it does not, it is beyond
 hope of recovery.

FACTS ABOUT THE AMERICAN NAVY FITzHUGH GREEN U. S. N
Rhymes

boys literal translation of his Homer Yet simple, direct; and most impor- tant of all it works. Incidentally morning red" doesn't mean the bright rosy dawn of a June day, but the lurid tinted lowering clouds of an April sprinkler. Another version of the same is
 Rainbow in the morning sailors
 take warning.
 Rainbow at night sailors delight The meter here is rather less effec- tive, though the aesthetic configura- tion (of course you understand what I mean) is a shade more impugnacious and antiphonal.
 The question of rain and wind has been perpetuated in the following: When the rains before the wind FIalliards, sheets, and braces mind When the winds before the rain Soon you may make sail again That wind mind rhyme is a little rough-shod, but serves the purpose And nothing naval is more sure than the way rain kills wind.
 The subtle Barometer has not been overlooked; though it's eDitaph, or whatever such a verse may be called is rather knockneed from an artistic
 
 (meaning cheap poet from that he had to cook his own breakfast over the gaslight)-
 When the glass falls low prepare

 When 1t rises up high let all your

 Slightly more explicit is
 When rise begins after low,
 Squalls expect and clear to blow. Long foretold. long last
 Short notice. soon past.
 And there are still others You may not call them poetry, but then you are not a clustering deck bred Skipper. If you think he doesn't use them try him some day. No true sailorman lives who cannot recite for you his little collection of weather rhymes. And so serious are they one wonders he doesn't pass bead for each.
 It's his imagination that does it the sign of a great man. the earmarll of the Sea. Have you got imagina- tion?
New Britain herald., 1918-01-04
BY LIEUT.. FITZHI

Want me to tell your fortune? Would you really like to know wheth- CT you are going to succeed or not? Of course you would.
 One test question is enough. Have you got imagination " es?'> All right; prove it. What common prac- tical use could poetry be to a wet warship on a dark night?
 Of course I'm serious.
 Here's the answer: Battles of Jutland and Falkland Islands had their night after. Admiral Togo at the Battle of the Sea of Japan had his night before. Dark nights they were too; black grimy, pea soup kind of nights. Guns didn't count Even speed became a secondary conside era tion. Strategy alone was the Fleets strength. Yet mighty, highbrow, mathematical Strategy knelt before the altars of the great god Weather Briefly, a squall could have blown every card from the tactical table Come fog or rain or wind and plnas wouldn't have been even scraps of paper
 Sooner or later every sailorman gets into this hole where his career, his ship, his whole fleet even, depend upon the Weather. He may pray for fine weather. But whether his pray CTS are answered not is far less i'm portant than the kind of weather overhead while he is saying them. What counts is his judgment of to- morrow by the way the sky looks to- night. A wrong guess and he's a goner
 Of course he can go below and look it up in the book. But that is not done in the best nautical society. And in time of war the enemy may be more imminent than the gale. Rules of thumb are used. That is short, simple solutions of the Sky's facial expressions before it bursts into a wrath of storm or subsidies into the pcacefulness of calm. To make these rules easy to remember mariners of the old days put them into rhyme Such as:
 The evening gray and the morning red,
 Put on your hat or youll wet your head.

THE WORKMEN'S SICK AND
 DEATH BENEFIT FUND.

'FWollen sic sich verphichten sich 3nicht dem regularen Militar, der Ma 2rine, der Miliz der Vereinigten Staaten Soder eines anderen Landes oder der 2Polizel irgend einer Form anzuchliz- , 8en?"
 Or, as it would be written in Eng ! llish, Will you pledge yourself not to join the regular United States army or navy, or the army or navy of any other country, state militia, or police force in any form?''
 Which question asked in either of the above forms has always been an swered in the affirmative by members of the Workmens Sick and Death Benefit Fund, a reasonable associa- tion unearthed in New Britain yester- day.
 The mere fact that the question contains the qualifying phrase, 'or any other country" means nothing. The aim and object of the society is to stop enlistments in the United States Army and Navy. If the Army or the Navy of Germany were in need of ac- tive .enlistments, the same men who took the aforementioned pledge in this country would be only too willing and eager to go, providing, of course, there was way offered to work fur ther damage against the interests of the United States. They are that kind of humans.
 It is. also presumed that the pledge taken by the members of this organ ization means nothing when applied to the police force. If, for instance, one of the members were offered the posi- tion as chief of police in New Britain, and could be assured of getting it, would he fail to break the pledge?
 It was the merest fate of circum- stance that uncovered the activities Of this unpatriotic organization. One member, gifted with a fine sense of speech and an ignorance of it's carry ing power, unbreasted his secret and the secret of his compatriots before the second district exemption board This man, called in the draft, was prompt to. tell the officials why he could not be selected for service witf Uncle Sam. In brief, the society tc which he belonged, the surreptitious Workmen's Sick and Death Benefit Fund, would not allow him to join the
 regular United States army or navy
 This, of course. meant the new Ma
 tionaI army, or any affiliated branch
 of the regular forces. And so

THE TOP OF HER LIST.

She's buying Christmas presents-and there's one who tops the list, When the kids are romping madly hell be the one who will be missed,
 The oldest of the family, one of whom they are most fond, Who will eat his Christmas rations in a village cross the pond: Who was young enough to stay here. but was man enough to go, Didn't really think they'd need him, but he thought they might you know!
 Though the way the king was going that perhaps thcre'd be a chance To do something for his country-and there was. He went to France So she's buying Christmas presents and that youngster heads them Why, she started thinking of them in the early part of fall And she spent her money wisely for the things she thought he'd With a bit of homemade sweet
 meats and a box of favorite
 weed,
 And she bought them in good season
 and she packed the box with
 care,
 With the hope that he would have it
 Christmas morning over there. She's buying Christmas presents and
 of course she's not alone, For throughout the land good mothers
 have provided for their own, And the folks who have no laddies or
 a brother in the fray Know the sacrifice they're making
 and large part of their pay From the daily grind is going into
 gift that will bring cheer To the best blood of the nation when
 the holiday draws near. Yes. she's buying Christmas presents
 cheerfully as in the past, With a string of love bound round
 them that through all the years
 shall last,
 And the gifts that make the journey
