PLACE OF NOISE IN HISTORY

Young and adult America may be
forgiven for several of the undigni-
fed features of the mammoth parade
and general celebration yesterday on
the ground of spontaneous patriotic
combustion. Signs that would ordin-
arily call for speedy removal were
applauded along the line of march
and it was apparent that they eX-
pressed the sentiments of the specta-
tors to nicely. Marse Henry Wat
terson of Kentucky was the first in
dividual to wish for the Kaiser a
swift and certain Journey to a region
in which shoveling coal and stirring
watts of boiling birthstone are the only
essential occupations. and the country
has been almost unanimous in en-
dorsing his program. 1t would have
been a distinct disappointment had
not several pla cards in the parade
provided transportation tickets for the
wandering HohenzolIern. Lack of eff
gies would also have created a void in
the ranks that could have been filed
by no other character. It is deserv-
ing of mention that in no instance
was any demonstration of hatred or
malice against the effigies seen along
the street. Those in charge of the
stuffed creatures-tEe term might ap-
propriately be applied to the Hohen-
zollerns in Hfe-assa ulted, beat
struck and generally maltreated the
cloth and straw representations but
the assaulting, beating and striking
was administered with an abandon of
glee in which anger or malice had no
part. It is only reasonable therefore,
to conclude that there remains in the
heart of America no poisonous bitter
ness toward the enemy This may not
be true of individuals who have lost
relatives on the battlefield or at sea-
who could not be criticized if their
hearts burned with justiflable resent
ment. But it is characteristic Of the
American to overlook many things in
his hour of victory. II must not be
supposed that we are prepared to
shake the hand of the Hun. which is
still besmirched with sin. We will
watch MIN closely, as we would watch
desperate criminal whose tendency
is to violate the regulations of human
society as soon as the opportunity
presents itself. More than that we
will tie the Hun so that it will not be
possible for him to strike again.
New Britain did itself proud in It's
demonstration. Almost from the mo-
ment the factory whistles blew before
daybreak, the city was on the qui
vive and thousands gladly sacrificed
their sleep in order to wake the
echoes of the morning with an extra
VACANT collection of bugIes. horns,
tin pans, wash boilers drums, tin
whistles, accordions and hurdy gurd-
les. Every noise emitting instrument
Imaginable was pressed into service
and the din must have drowned out
the farewell barrage of the Allies to
the enemy. If noise could hasten the
creation of a League of Nations such
an organization would be functioning
today.
The parade, too, reflected credit on
the Hardware City. Such an out
pouring of men and women had pre-
viously never been known. The cap
tain of finance walked with the men
who depend on him for wages. Lit

HOME SOUTH OF CHAPMAN
BURNED TO THE GROUND

A farm house, located three miles
south of Chapman and belonging to
Mr. Anderson, burned to the ground
at twelve O'Clock Monday night, ac-
cording to the story told by Glenn
Owens, who passed there some time
later. Sparks from a defective flue
ignited the timbers in the attic and
the flames spread quickly. All the
occupants of the house were asleep
and the smoke finally awakened one
of the family.
The piano was moved from the
house and then an alarm was sent
to Chapman. No other furniture
was saved and all the clothing burn
ed except that which each person
seized as he rushed from the house.
Aid came too late and the home was
burned to the ground. The loss is
estimated at $4,000 part Of which
is covered by insurance
