LANDING IS MERELY LOCAL
AFFAIR, RUSSIAN OF
FICIAL is TOLD.
(By the Associated Press).

Moscow, Sunday, April The
Japanese representative at Vologda,
where allied and neutral diplomatic
missions are stationed, has sent a
communication to NJ. Tchitcherih,
the Russian foreign minister min
imizing the significance OF the land
ing at Nladiyostok, according to The
lzveStia.
The communication said that the
incident was local and that Admiral
Kato acted on his own initiative
and without specific orders from his
government. NJ. Tchitcherin, how
ever, is reported to be "skeptical." 4"
Reports received here from Nlad-
iyostok indicate that the Japanese
have not interfered with the life OF
the city and that they only patrol
the streets. Admiral Kato visited
the mayor and the president of the
Zemstyo who protested against the
landing. The municipal council also
passed a resolution OF protest.

ont that the New York federal re-
serve bank has rented two entire
floors in a big Office building to
accommodate the accountants and
clerks required to manage Liberty
loan reports.
This work accounts for a large
part OF the expense Of gathering the
big national credit. Another large
item Of expense is the printing Of
advertising posters and pamphlets,
and the engraving Of the bonds,
which has been under way at the
government bureau of engraving
and printing for months. In addi-
tion, there is a multitude of minor
expenditures connected with nation
al and district headquarters, despite
the liberal donations of service and
materials by thousands of patriotic
workers.
AS compared with the usual 3 or
4 per cent expense OF floating most
private securities issues, the appro-
priation for selling the first Liberty
loan was l-lO OF per cent or $2,-
100000, and the allowance for the
second was Is OF per cent, or
a little more than $zO0O,00O. All
bills of the past loans have not yet
been tabulated.

ALL IN \ MONTH,

One month ago today Marshal
Foch electrified the world by an
nouncing that an armistice between
America and the Allies and their
greatest enemy Germany, had been
signed, bringing to an end hostilities
that had been in progress since the
fall of 1914.
In the brief space of time that
elapsed between November IL and
December II the once proud German
empire has been smashed into frag-
nents. principally because of the in
tense military pressure that had been
exerted from without and partly be-
cause of the political pressure against
the government from within, The
Germany Of November II, 1918. has
ceased to exist and in It's place are a
number Of small states that have de-
clared themselves independent Of the
central government and which are
pursuing an indecisive and hesitant
course toward a general goal, freedom
from Prussia. her crushing war taxes
and her overbearing war lords
Living in foreign land, one in a
castle just over the borderIine Of his
country and one in a dreary little
island of such insignifcance that it
is not allotted a place on the map,
are the two figures chiefly responsible
for the disintegration of this empire
Broken in spirit and power, the Kali
ser is at Amerongen, reported writin .

Aili. HEiNlsST'S NFSY1Ni%I LIS.

William Randolph Hearst has had
remarkable success in GAu2ing public
opinion 3& is attcsted by the large cir
cuIAtion Of his newspapers hut IN
measuring the wa sentiment OF the
American people ne failed miserably,
if judgment can be formed ON his
opinion as exposed before a senate
committee yesterday.
From the beginning Of one MESA &c
under scrutiny of the senatorial in
quisitors, it is apparent that Mr.
Hearst's ability for feeling the public
pulse abandoned him at IL crucial
moment. Under date of February "a
1917, he wrote. 4 firmly believe
that the vast ma jority of the people
Of the United states are entirely UNI
DESTROYS of war with Germany. I be-
lieve also that the people OF Germany
are equally industrious Of war with
the United States That is partly
true but it falls far short Of being the
whole truth. We did not want war
US to unsheathe the sword. If that is
what Mr.. Hearst meant he was cor
rect. But if Mr.. Hearst believed that
we were a nation of faint-hearted
cravcns and would shrink from war
after continued attacks on our honor
and integrity he was mistaken.
Mr.. Hearst will probably admit
that he was in error when he referred
later in the same message to the
high minded and humanitarian ruI-
ers and political leaders of our re-
spective Countries In the light Of
events that have occurred since then,
German rulers and political leaders
have been shown to be the antitheses
of men to whom these 1owery terms
would apply.

WANT GERMAN COLONIES.
New South Wales Secs Peril to
British Empire.

Melbourne, Dec. 1.-THE legislative
council of New South Wales has
passed a resolution for transmission
to the secretary for the colonies III
London asking that the German col
onies be permanently incorporated
within the British Empire.
For the safety Of Australia, for the
security of the British Empire and
the future peace of the world reads
the resolution, every effort should be
made at the peace conference to in
sure that in no circumstances shall
the German possessions in the Pacific
be returned to Germany, and that as
far as possible, consistent with a due
regard to any equitable claim of other
nations, these possessions should be
permanently Incorporated within the
British Empire"

NOT IN NEW BRITAIN.

There may or may not Turk behind
the Connecticut Company announce
ment of increased deficits another
proposal to increase street car fares
However, the public should be pre-
pared for such action. In many other
cities, fares have been increased to
seven cents and in Boston to eight
CENTS
In explaining the increase in over
head expenses, the Connecticut Com
pany declares:
The public expects cars to be
on time, equipment to be kept
up, service to be rapid and de-
pendab1e, employees to be courte-
GUS and officials to be approached
and open to suggestions.
That is probably a general state
ment written to include all cities 1t
surely cannot refer to service in this
city.
In New Britain we do not expect
the cars to be on time. We are sur
prised when the schedule is main
tanned.
In New Britain we do not expect
equipment to be kept up. Our hopes
in that respect vanished years ago.
In New Britain we do not expect
service to be rapid and dependable.
1t is probable the trolley crews do
their best with the ancient equip
nent at hand but the service is far
from dependable.
IN New Britain we do not expect
employees to be courteous. Some of
them are polite Most of them are
.ot. That depends on the individual,
not the uniform.
officials are approachable and open
To suggestions. At least they will
listen TO suggestions. But it is useless
for them to forward suggestions to
New Haven, where they are ignored.
The Connecticut Company points
out that in 1916 the increase in cost
of serving the public was $4,000
greater than the increase in revenue.
In 1917, the increase in cost exceeded
the increase in revenue by $4,000.
Statistics can be made to perform
wonders but they are not always con-
Vincing.
Possibly the service in other cities
justifies another raise in fares. But
not in New Britain.

\ HOhenZOllern Confession.
(Boston Transcript }

The former crown prince of PruS-
STA and Germany has long been one
Of the most interVieWable mel in
Europe He likes nothing so much
as an interview-and his interviews
are limited in their length only by
the patience of the interviewer and
the indulgences of the public. On
this account, during the war 1t was
Tor the most part necessary for the
kaiser to keep the prince SO COM
pletely secluded from press men that
the rumor ran for long time that
he was dead. Now he is out from
under the patcrnal thumb, on his is
land in the Zuyder Zee--a1d, of
course, he was interviewed as soon
as a correspondent could find a boat
man to take him to the island.
AS usual, the result is an indiscre-
ton. Very little of what the eX-
crown prince says is really of any in
terest, but in one remark that he
makes he shows what q criminal
plunger his nation. was. u consider
ed" he says. ''our position hopeless
after the battle of the Marine, which
VIC should not have lost if the chiefs
Of our general staff had not suffered
4 case OF HerNes.' What i gamble
this betrays, if what the late Ger
man heir says is true! And if it is
not true. what a mind it reveals in
the body Of the man who stood to
rule the great German nation for
many years! The fate of Europe
and the lives of the 100000 who
have died ii, tnc war on all the seas
and continents, was staked on tho
cast Of the German general staffs
handful OF war dice! And if the
nerves of the staff were indeed shat
t.cred by the mere making Of the
throw, so that they could not COM
rletc it, what little particle OF moral
ea sis or even Of real fighting spirit
could their advantage have had?
Undoubtedly the war was indeed
lost on the Marine as it was lost at
Ltcgc, or in the craftsmanship of the
thin line Of British riflemen who held
lack the advance after Charleroi
and Mons and as it was lost at many
another crucial point. The hstor-
ians Of the future will split many
hairs on this question of Just where
the war was lost strategically speak
ing. But perhaps the former crown
prince, with the wisdom OF the SIM
pie, has really put his finger on the
spot where it was morally lost.
Kaiser, crown prince, general staff,
and the Pan-German leaders,
all were gamblers and plungers
in a war of aggression in which ev-
cI.yt hing was staked on throw. and
when that throw did not turn up eX-
actly the loaded dice that were eX-
pccted they all went to pieces like
any blackleg gambler. That is at
least the picture that the ex-crown
prince gives us.

SPEAKING BEFORE HIS TURN.

Senator Lodge Of Massachusetts
| cares naught for peace conferences
He has ideas Of his own on the po-
litiCal re-making of the world and he
is apparently so anxious to project
his views before the public that he
cannot restrain his impatience. 1t
makes no difference that delegates
from America and the Allied nations
are about to assemble in Paris to dis
cuss aud settle this very perplexing
experts from all points of the COM
pass are hurrying toward a central
spot prepared to sift and re-sift the
problems that will confront them.
Senator Lodge cannot wait. He must
have his say. He was not chosen as
one Of the peace delegates so he in
augurates his own peace convention
in order to settle forever the question
of the worlds future:
In the Senate yeste1 day the sa ge
from the Bay State sketched the pro-
gram on which he would allow Ger
many to withdraw from the war.
Many Of his suggestions arc excellent
and meet with public approval
Others can be settled only after ma
ture deIibcration and interchange of
views by those selected by the respec-
tive countries to represent them at
the peace table. In many respects,
Senator Lodges program conforms to
that of President Wilson'S and it cor
responds likewise in part to demands
voiced by leading statesmen in other
countries.
There is no room for fault-finding
III so far as Senator Lodges peace
arrangements are concerned. But
would it not be proper to leave such
affairs to the constituted authorities
at Paris?

Postmaster Delaney makes rea-
sonable request when he asks the
public to cooperate with his depart
ment in the transmission of Christmas
mail. Packages should be mailed
early and should be securely wrapped
in order to avoid breakage and loss
For those who intend to send gifts

convenient schedule Of mailing dates
has been announced.
Like other e9ta blishments, public
and private, the post office depart
ment has given many of it's expert
vvorkmon TO the army and navy
Their places are filed by others who
are willing to do their very best and
whose efforts are appreciated but
whose knowledge of this particular
work is not as complete as many who
are now in the military service
BY mailing packages at an early
date the senders of Christmas gifts
will avoid the disappointment result
ing from tardy delivery and the re-
cipients will enjoy happier holiday.

Editor New Britain Herald:
Dear Sir:-Please accept my con-
graduation for your splendid editorial
under the caption such an Amusing
Chap in the issue of Tuesday, De-
cember 4.
AS an American citizen I was
pleased to read it. the more so be-
cause it was in my home town paper
and also for the splendid American
spirit it contained, SO wholly different
from the stuff that passes for Amer1-
canism in q great many other papers.
It seems to some people, Mr.. Edltor,
that with the coming of peace there
is a lessening appreciation on the
part of some of the newspapers of
Americas winning the war. 1t is
limited and proclaimed that we are
under eternal obligation to England
for saving us from Germany. Surely,
Mr. Editor it is ito laugh to think
of this nonsense being prOpagated. II
is the belief Of some people that the
obligation is the other way and that
this country by entering and winning
the war saved the British empire and
England from being reduced to that
fragmentary condition called smith
Greens.
If America really did win this war
for the AIIics--and who doubts it,
how unbecoming and presumptious it
is to seek to detract from the glory
thereof by cleNating any of the Allied
nations above the others in q special
day or manner. They all did their
best. that is as much as any Of them
could do, but if any ono nation is to
be singled out for especial or particu-
was American ideals. American re-
sources and American fighters that
won the war and saved the Allies,
England included. Away then with
thought word or celebration that
would lessen Americas glory
