WANTED! RED GROSS WORKERS

In connection with the announce ment in last evenings Herald that Red Cross work has been resumed in full, and that the local chapter is be- hind the quota of articles it is re- quired to furnish, we would most UT gently eXhort seVery woman in New Britain who can possibly do so, to as- sist the Red Cross here in it's work of mercy. Very few persons outside those actually engaged in keeping up Red Cross work here are aware of the tremendous activities undertaken by the local chapter. There is most imperative demand for additional workers and it is the solemn duty of every woman who can spare a few hours daily, one or more days of the week, to volunteer her services so that production may be augmented. Surely, when one observes the crowd ed houses at nearly every perform conclude that thousands of women manage to find spare time during the day to leave their household duties. Why, then, cannot they devote some of that spare time to helping the Red Cross. When we consider the sacri- fees which American soldiers are making overseas, it seems little enough indeed that the women here are asked to do when requested to sacrifice a movie" or two and work at Red Choss headquarters instead.
 We sincerely trust that the appeal from Red Cross headquarters will be needed and that the response of New Britain women will be prompt and generous. The ladies of this city have not failed in a single instance thus far when called upon for war work, and we do not anticipate that their splendid record will be spoiled in the present instance.

HANGING THE KAISER.

We are surprised at the action of the local War Savings publicity com mittee in petitioning the Common Council for permission to hang the Kaiser in ehigy". We are opposed to the proposed action for the following reasons:
 1. It is childish and undignifed.
 ,. It may encourage mob spirit and lawlessness
 8. It may be interpreted as indi- rectly approving of "Iynchings'.
 f. It may be the means of subject ing President Wilson to indignity by melting inc enemy to retaliate by hanging him in cfgy
 5. It savours too much of barbar- ism
 The Herald has always, and will always, support enthusiastically every legitimate measure which has as it's object the increase in the sale of Thrift Stamps and War Savings Stamps But we do not believe that such a procedure as is contemplated would have the approval of, say, President Wilson. We do not think it is calculated to increase patriotic feeling. Let us employ all means to increase the sale of the stamps which the nation, But there is no reason

ance to recommendation from an official who, in one breath lauds q man to the skies, and in the next de- clares that his department is better off without that mans services.
 There is more to this case than the personal grievance of Mr. Litke. There is a principle involved. If the police commissioners and the chief of police are at liberty to stigmatize a man for life, despite the fact that his official record is unblomshed, such an inconsistent procedure must have a far-reaching effect on the other members of the department. They are justified in concluding that of duty, they are liable upon sever ance of their connection with the de- partment to be brandmarkcd as their former colleague has been brandmarked. Surely such methods are not calculated to strengthen the morale of the department nor can it possibly encourage other self-respect- ing citizens to apply for appointment on the police force.
 Recently the chief of police re- ported a dearth of policemen. It is a fact that some of the regular beats in this city are of necessity neg lected nowadays owing to the short age of officers. The war has raised havoc with the police force, and the inducement of higher compensation in the factories has also drawn mem- bers away from the department. Therefore, it behooves the police com missoners and the chief as well to treat cases such as MT. Litkes with more deicacy, consideration and jus tice if they are sincere in their efforts to maintain efficiency and harmony in their department.

AERIAL WAR WEAPONS
Will Be Shown At State Fair Next Wcek-EducatiODaI Exhibit By Uncle Sam.

AINIC
 Uncle Sam has assembled a re- markable fair and exposition display for the purpose of letting the peo- pie of the United States know what is being done to win the war in Europe. The federal authorities have selected state fairs as a medium for showing up these aims and at the State fair to be held at Berlin, Sep tember "A to 2S, inclusive, one of the five sets of exhibits now going about the country will be ~oen. Berlin is the only place in New England where it will be shown.
 The State fair this year will be- along war lines, and with this big feature it should prove immensely interesting to the public.
 The war department will exhibit machine guns, also the types used in the air duels, mountain cannon that can easily be hauled over Alpine heights, and also the various types of rifles. One department will show the various togs of the doughboNs and the equipment he carries when going over the top. Various kinds of  bullets will be vividIy pictured. An interesting section will be that in which the samples of regimentaI colors and designations will be shown. The signal service is most complete, showing radio outfits, also the small Ter methods of communication.
 The exhibit will cover 10000 square feet of floor space There will also be official war pictures, il- frustrating by moving pictures what cannot be set forth in any other way.
 The mana cement will have a big exhibit by the Junior Food army of Connecticut. This summer 50,O0O junior farmers have done their bit'' in food production. Here the little farmers will compete for premiums,a submitting their best specimens. There will also be a live stock sec tion, showing pigs, lambs and other stock raised,

for such a function as the publicity committee proposes.
 When the war is over the Allied peace council will take very good care of the Kaiser. He will be pun ished as his crimes deserve to be punished. Hanging him in effigy, however, will not help one bit in shortening the war, nor do we be- leve it will augment the sale of stamps to any great extent. There is too much to be lost and too little to be gained by such a ceremony. The end in view is worthy, but the means to that end we think are most ob- Jectlonable. Therefore we ares op- posed to it and our opposition will not cease until the project is dropped. And just as one of the aldermen dared anyone to oppose the resolution when it was presented to the Com mon Council, we "dare'' anyOni. to show us wherein our attitude is in the least iota indicative of disloyalty. On that the majority of sober-minded citizens will agree with us that the proposal is not worthy of serious con- sideration.
