THE DENORALTZED HUN.

Stunned by constant smashing b,ou,s delivered against him from all sides by Marshal Foch, the Hun is in Ieed a pitiable sight. Gone IS that spirit of bravado, gone the Prusslan sneer of contempt for the Allies, gone the bluster and pompousness Of the Berlin officer who would run one ot his own men through as quickly as he yo,,1d an enemy, if the former aggra- ya+ad him even for moment. Gone are all these traits. In their stead we see only the Huns heels. He is in precipitate flight. He has been rout- sd completely, defeated at his own game and he will be lucky indeed if ha can escape complete annihhatlon a+ the hands of the Allies.
 The pride of Germany, those Prus- sian Guards, who dashed through the Allied lines last March, are now rac- Ing back through the same towns they look at a terrible price. Everywhere the German armies give evidence Of great demoralization. All along the line, the sledge-hammer blows care fully planned and splendidly executed by the Allied high command have staggered the Hun, who only two short months ago boasted to the world that he would soon be in Paris.
 The fortunes of war are indeed nckle, but history. has never witnessed more complete change of conn., plexion in the conflict. The side which started with the intention of crushing its opponent with one brief, savage blow, has overnight been checked,

points out, the gam bling device in question is against the law, and is un- American in principle. Again, this Government does not need to resort to gambling devices to raise the rev. enue necessary for war expenses. agree with the New York District At torney. To permit the use of gamb- ling devices in such a campaign would be only to furnish the enemy with material for further ropaganda. He would inform the neutral press that America is In such dire straits for funds that she must resort to gamb- ling to bring in the required amount. and such a canard, unjust though it would be, could do a great deal of harm amongst those neutrals whose friendship and respect we wish to re- tain.
 It Is clear from the despatch that the New York War Stamp headQuar- ters did not countenance the methods used by the salesmen. It was pointed put to those handling the stamps that the use of a wheel would not be tol- erated but evidently the salesmen paid no attention to the admonition, For complaint informed the District Attorney that he had seen wheel in operation on a War Stamp platform located on Fifth avenue.
 The salesmen themselves will real Ize. when they stop to think the mat ter over, that the District Attorney IS right in his action. It has saved the country from criticism and will cause them to take up other methods of sale with increased enthusiasm.

Automobile thieves, and other light fingered people who have made a practice of stealing accessories from private cars left unattended, have made periodical visits to this city for a long time, but it was not until this week that the gasoline thief began his work and already several com platnts have been made. Apparently the method of the gasoline thief is to locate a standing auto, whose owner is likely to be away for some time, and then with a syphOn or small force pump, drain the gasoline from the tank into some other recCpta cle. In ventors now have a chance to create a gasoline tank lock.

Bent with years, his staIwart shoul-
 derS

Bent with years, his stalwart shoul- Bore that relic to the last With a kindly grace that shoulders In chivalry now past; For, 'tis true as all there noted From the chuckle in his throat, My grandpa was devoted.
 To his old frOck coat I have often heard it stated, In an ff-hand sort of way, That home-fOlk were elated
 On a happy wedding day. Then church. bells, so enraptured, Let their tinIIling message float; For grandpa grandma captured With his old frock coat. Yet they must have been mistaken Who marked that coat as old,- Ere Youth was quite forsaken Twas bright as new dug gold,- Why all sartorial splendor
 Was called upon in rote To price the cloth, per vendor, Of that old frock coat. And how his heart would quicken, So like the childish way When, sentimental stricken,
 Some friend had praise to say About the fine appearance
 The old man did denote; And hence the great adherence To that old frock coat. They say that I was present
 Upon a gala day When nature was quite pleasant And all the world was gay; Oh grand-pa's eyes then glistened When his name as mine they
 wrote- On the day that I was christened He wore his old frock coat. I know if old Dame Nature
 Her fortunes had disposed So human legislature
 Could save the dying rose, I might have laid a finger
 Upon the drifting float And bade my grandpa finger In his old frOck coat. He went, as do all mortals,
 In that solemn, sOmbre way, Far unto those mystic portals
 Where we all must go some day; And, although his soul was naked, So the scriptures do COnnOte, His form could not .fOrsake it, That old frock coat. They buried him within it
 As a token of the past; For they knew his heart was in it From the first unto the last. "As you live so shall you die", they
 say,
 He'd never fail to quote. And so they paved his graVe-way With his old frOck coat. Lord, be merciful unto him
 In another life than thiS,- And, although we'd not undo him With a tinge of earthly bliss, Let his soul be right, endOw him With a Heavenly raptured mote And. instead of wings, allow him Just his old frOCk coat.

At the last meeting of the common council, Alderman A. NJ. Paonessa introduced a resolution calling for new ordinance to prohibit the throw ing of broken glass, scrap metal, etc., into the streets, and providing not only a severe penalty, but also a re- ward for information leading to the conviction of the guilty. In this con- nectiOn it might be noted that the city already has an ordinance pro- hibiting such action, and under it there have been several prosecutions in police court, chiefly of junk men from whose wagons scrap metal has dropped into the street This is scC- tion 49 of the ordinances and reads: No person shall throw, cast, or lay, cause to be thrown, cast, or lay, broken glass, nails, screws, tacks. drOss, scrap metal metal of any description or any ashes, cinders or shells in or upon any street in said city,.
 To enforce this ordinance a fine of not more than $50 is provided.

 In the folk dancing participated in by all the playgrOunds the two hum dred or more girls, dressed in white, presented a most pleasing picture of grace and freedom.

All of the dancing was accompanied by the Philharmonic band.

 The ball game between the Smalley playground team, champions of this seasons Inter- Playground league, and an all-star team selected from the players of the other league teams was a dandy.

The hitting of both teams was f1fty-tifty but the errors of the Smalley boys provedi costly and they finally lost to the All-I Star aggregation by the close score of f to B The battery for the winners was E.

When the final records of New ] Blltaln's part in this great world war are compiled they will be aston ! lShlng, both as to the number of men 1 in the service and the support ac- 1 corded them by those left at home, 1 including financial contributions and i loans as well as labor. Although we 1 have been at war less than two years, 1 New Britain has already OVer-Sub- 1 Scrbed three giant Liberty lOans it | has already OVer-SubScri it's Red Cross contributions and has given just as generously to the Y. NJ. C. A., l Knights of Columbus and other aux Hilary war funds It's factories have going at top speed for more than a year turning out vast quantities of war materials and it's women have been working hard for the Red Cross and surgical dressings committees. Thrift Stamps and War Savings Stamps have also been generously purchased. And in addition to all this New Britain has sent upwards of B. 100 men into the service of either the army or navy, both by enlistment be- fore the solectiVe service draft and under the terms of that law.
 At this time it is particularly inter "Stlr2 to note d brief summary of New Britain's part in the great Amer ican Civil War;
 At the time of the Civil war this city had population of 5000 people and the total number of enIistments were 6S7. This total number of en- listments does not mean however, a total number of different men for to a very limited extent one man may in tIyrO regiments, viz: the first three months for which original enltstments were taken, then re-enlisting for the bal ance of the war Of this 6S7 enlist ments credited to this city, 78 were drafted men. The number 7S, which represented the number drafted from this city, likewise represents the number of New Rritainites killed in action or who died of wounds re- ceived in action or from sickness while in the army. Several citizens who were drafted paid $500 to pro- vide a substitute and in the city clerks office are records showing what men were drafted and who of these elected to pay the price and send another in their place. There were in all, three drafts and the men drafted who did not want to go paid $3OO, $25O or SS3 each towards the expenses of a substitute, according to the year in which they were drafted.
 The total expenses incurred by this city, as a direct result of the war, were $162945.81. Of this amount about $6O,00O was paid in bOunties during the latter years of the war and $35,000 to assist in the matter of pro- viding substitutes. The remainder of the money was spent in sending things to the boys in the field and rendering other assistance.
 Four chap7ain= enlisted from this city. They WOl Rev. L. H. Pease, F.. P Bond, F. ". Andrews and J. B. Merwin. There were also three sur geons from here: Drs. B. N. COmings, William B. North and F. D. RabcocK There were three instances in which a parent sent four sons to the war viz: R. s. Porter, Mrs. w. B. Jones and Mrs Caroline B. Gussman. Hen ry Gladden., Caroline Rossberg and Mary Myers each sent three sons into the Union army.
