RABBIT BY NO MEANS TlMlD
Correspondent Writes Of Happening
Which Would Seem to Make Old
Saying q Foolish Thing.

A story Of the fearlessness Of the
rabbit when still baby is sent by q
correspondent. Remarking on the
haselessness Of the popular saying
AS scared as rabbit" when Bunny
IS unspoilt by the world, "B" says
Some days ago I was passing with
friend through a woodland glade,
and suddenly there appeared on the
path before us, say so yards away,
young wild rabbit, evidently just
escaped from the nursery. It was al
most too young to run, and tripped
over it's. feet in the most comic man
ner-for all the world like a baby
tumbling over its pinafore. It came
slowly lolloping, lolloping toward us,
and we held our breath for fear OF
soaring 1t away; for it was a most
fascinating little creature, just
bundle of fluff and comedy. Then
while we watched, tragedy sprang up
full armed. A weasel, moving swift
ly, silently through the trees, made
sudden dart. In one second all
would have been over with bunny,
but my companion clapped her hands
and gave wild cry Of anger, dane
ing about in wrath. The weasel fled
for its life. But the baby rabbit
stopped to laugh a moment, and then
came lolloping little faster toward
us-right up to US, in fact. We had
actually to drive the little creature
back to where we guessed its home
might be before we could 60 on our
way with quiet minds. Scared as a
rabbit indeedw

PARIS PREPARING
WILSON RECEPTION
State Dinners, Opera and Official
Calls on Program

Paris Dec. S.-Ela borate plans are
being made by the French govern
ment for the entertainment of Presi-
dent Wilson. These include various
state dinners and official calls and
probably a gala night at the opera.
Upon his arrival at the Bots de
Boulogne station Saturday morning
the president will be met by President
Poincare and other members of the
French government. He will go i'm
mediately to the Murat mansion,
which will be his home while in Paris.
No decision has been reached as to
what the president will do on Sunday,
but it is probable he will drive about
Paris. 1t is possible other plans may
be made before that time. Mr. Will
sons drive on Monday to the Hotel
de Vile will be an occasion Of con-
sidera ole ceremony.
AS soon as possible after his arri
val MIR. Wilson will confer with Col.
E. M. House, probably at the Maison
Blanche de Paris. Col. House has
been busily engaged quite recently
and Is in position to furnish the pres
ident with considerable information
which may be of value in the task
lying before him.
The school children of Paris will
be out in force when the president
arrives. Thursday is usually school
holiday in Paris, as Saturday is In the
United States. King George of Eng
land and King Albert of Belgium ar
rived in Paris on Thursday so that
the children did not have an extra
holiday, which the arrival of Presl-
dent Wilson will give them. Virtually
all the mercantile establishments IN
Paris have notified their employees
that next Saturday will be full hol-
iday. 1t is expected to be a larger
celebration than any before seen IN
Paris The streets near the station
where the president will arrive Will be
filled with people. The socialists are
taking a great interest in the occa-
sion of Wilson'S visit.

GERMAN UNITED STATES
Eventual Government in Germany
Will Be Republican i'm Form, Philip
SCIleidemann Predicts.

London, Dec. civilian Hohen-
zollern has been sufficiently punished,
but it is essential that his part in
causing the war should be clearly es
tablished, says Philip Scheidemann
the former German secretary Of
finance and colonies, in an interview
published by the Express. He said
the establishment of a state tribunal
to try all persons guilty of causing
the war is now being discussed but
must be decided upon by the national
assembly.
scheidemann, according to the Ex-
press, said further that DR.. w. S.
Solf, foreign minister, remains in the
government because it is believed he
has the confidence Of Great Britain
and America.
The eventual government Germany
will have will be republican in form,
"a United States of Germany" Herr
Scheidemann predicted.

CAMP DICK TURNS
OUT $4,000 FLYERS
Is Largest Aviation Concentration
Camp In the Country-Located
In Texas.

Dallas Tex, Dec. 8.--More than
$4,000 flyers have won their wings"
at Camp Dick, the greatest aviation
concentration camp in the United
States since January. This was re-
vealed for the first time in figures
made available by the end Of the war
The Dallas camp, while neither a
ground school nor a flying school, was
the neck of the bottle through which
practically all aviators who have en-
tered the service since its establish
ment, January 80, 1918, have passed.
1t was designed as a place in which
the morale of the aviators could be
maintained while the men were in
transition from one stage of develop
ment to another.
Men came to it from the five chief
ground schools, Princeton, Cornell
and the Texas, Illinois and California
universities. The length of their stay
depended upon the room available in
the flying fields to which they were
sent as soon as possible. Unless they
could be sent direct to the advanced
flying fields, they were kept at Camp
Dick to await assignment. Thus the
men were able to keep up their
studies in military atmosphere dur
ing periods when they could not be
! cared for at the schools.
The success of the plan is shown by
figures of the men enrolled. Since
the camps opening there have been
registered 1905 flying officers, 321
non-1ying officers, 40 medical officers
| 1906 flying cadets, two enlisted
squadrons of 800 men, AZ medical de-
tachment of 80 men and a quarter
masters detachment of Is men. The
camp, which was conceived and es-
tablished by Colonel E. z. Steexer, is
| now commanded by Captain Ormsby

CITY SENDS GREETINGS.
Soldiers and Sailors in Service VIII
Be Remembered at Christmas.

Through the personal representa-
ton of Mrs. J. A. Traut the soldiers
and sailors of this city will be remem-
bered by the city at least at Christ
mas. This morning Mrs. Traut con-
ferred with Mayor Quigley concern
ing the matter and met with his hearty
approval. The city will send the
seasons greeting to those soldiers who
are in the environments here and to
all the boys who are still overseas
The sailor lads will not be forgotten
and whether at some port in the
United States or somewhere on the
high seas they will receive the same
message Of greeting from the city.
The idea Of sending such a message
occurred to Mrs. Traut when She
thought Of the possible delays which
the Christmas packages will meet
with. 1t also occurred to her that
there might be some New Britain
boys either here or abroad who might
not receive any word from home and
the city's greetings will help to cheer
such fellows when otherwise they
would be gloomy and downhearted.

ELIHU BURRITT IS
HONORED IN SONG
Exercises at School Are Largely
Attended Change in Program

A single community song service
was held on Sunday afternoon at the
Elihu Burritt school instead Of the
two separate song meetings as on sew
eral preceding Sundays. This plan
appears to be very satisfactory in
many ways, as a vote taken of those
who were present Sunday afternoon
expressed a decided preference for the
community song service to be held in
the afternoon, and the Burritt school
auditorium is a particularly satlStac-
tory place for holding these meetings.
There was a combination meeting
arranged for yesterday at which the
parents and teachers meeting and a
mmemoratiOn Of the birthday OF
Elihu Burritt were joined with the
community singing. The attendance
included a crowd of good size who
were widely representative and who
displayed a genuinely active spirit.
The special program included a cou-
pie of vocal solos by Mrs. M t. Cream,
some short essays on the life Of New
Britain's scholarly blacksmith,
hymn to the memory of Elihu Burritt
written by Mrs. J. A. Traut and sung
by chorus of school pupils, brief
talk by Mr.. Fowler, the principal of
the school, and special music by the
orchestra.
The general audience sang a num-
Der of selected songs with vigor and
enthusiasm. The meeting was a very
satisfactory one for those who at
tended.
The community singing will be held
next Sunday afternoon at the same
time and place. The special features
Of the program will be presented by
talent selected from the Stanley
Works. A large and successful meet
ing is predicted for that time. The
period of victory is a proper time for
songs of cheer

EVERETT d. SCHANTZ is
SEVERELY WOUNDED ABROAD

On the casualty list for Sunday the
name of Private Everett D. Shonts ap-
peared among the severely wounded,
and his address appeared as New
Britain. Upon looking up the SOL
dier's career it appears that the name
should be Private Everett D. Schantz,
who is we'll known in this city. He
was born in this city and Is 20 years
of age. His family lived here for many
years, but later moved to Maple HILL
and for that reason his name was not
found among those Of New Britain
men who have entered the service. He
has been in the service for some tim g.
He graduated from New Britain High
school in 1918. He Is related by mar
riage to Alderman O. r. Curtis. OF this

BERLIN QUIET while
LIEBKNECHT ARGUES
Socialist Leader HarangueS Crowd
in Face Of Machine Guns .. ..

F Berlin, Dec. 8, (Byf the Associated
Press -Eager to make members of
the Spartacus party martyrs as the
result of Fridays rioting, DR.. Kart
Liebknecht, the leader of this faction,
lost no time in staging a spectacular
open air meeting at the Tiergarten
last night.
His call for the meeting brought
forth 1000 munition workers who had
responded to the demand for gener-
al walkout. These men and women
marched through Inter den Linden
to the Tiergarten until they reached
the point where the Avenue of Victory
intersects the Charlottenburger
Chausse. There DR.. Liebknecht
mounted the base of one of the
granite statues erected in honor of
the HohenzoIlerns and made an ad-
dress.
. The semi-circle of DIR. Liebknecht's
auditors was f1anked on all sides by
machine guns mounted on motor
trucks. DR.. Liebknecht harangued
the crowd, indicating Friedric Ebert,
the premier; Philip Scheidemann and
other kaiser socialists of completely
in rioting. He called upon the masses
\ to organize red guards and beat off
the attacks of counter revolutionists.
At a late hour tonight Berlin was
absolutely quiet 1t is estimated by
the Tageblatt that the number of
deserters that Berlin is feeding ex-
ceeds 10000. Premier Ebert and his
cabinet held a secret session with the
executive committee of the work
mems and soldiers council, discussing
, Fridays rioting. Over 80 mass meet
ings of conflicting parties were an
nounced for today.

WANT BETTER PROTECTION.
and yNorth-End Residents
Both Want Fire Stations

1t is probable that at the next meet
ing of the common council petitions
will be presented asking for the erec-
ton of two fire stations One of these
will be asked for the southwe stern
part of the city and another for the
Stanley Quarter section. The resid ents
of the First ward have been seeking
the erection of a fire house in that
part of the city for the past 10 years.
AT one time there was a provision in
the city charter which authorized the
borrowing of money for this purpose.
but it was not taken advantage Of and
therefore the authority lapsed
In view of the fact that the erection
of the two stations is being agitated
now, it is possible that. If the agita-
ton is strongly urged provision may
be made in the charter amendm ents
to. accomplish it. There is a feeling,
however, that the erection of a sta
ton in the southwestern section of the
city is all that can be expected next
year.
