earth md must be prepared ever to fight for the defense of its rights. Sucn action may never be necessary. but if the challenge comes 1t will be we'll to have at hand trained force io reply to that challenge.
 Military training, even if this coun- try never enters a war again, will have a wholesome effect on the man hood of the nation. It will give us a vigorous, hardy race, superior physi- cally and mentally to the America of the past. It will lead the youth in the ways of discipline and develop a periors. az well as make him more respe ectful toward authority and. the law.
 A program Of universal training would not necessarily mean that the United States is to become d military nation but it would serve notice on other countries that we are wide awake and strong, prepared to resist any attack made upon Us.
 Among the objections to universal training is the argument that armies will not be necessary after the forma- ton of a League of Nations to En- force Peace. Before the Great War, the world had what was tantamount to a league of nations, but one mem- Der of the league considered treaties as scraps of paper" It would not have assumed this attitude had other such action:

front. Extracts from his letter follow:
 'I have just come out of the battle and it was Veritable hell. 1 don't know how I came through alive, but God and His Blessed Mother protected me. Our boys started the attack after six days of magnificent fighting. The S2 division relieved part of the line and l think my brother Frank must be in this division for the 326th be- longs to it. l did not see him and do not know if he is with them
 No one can imagine what this at tack is. The tank boys tells us that it was not so hard at Chateau Thierry. Our boys went over hill after hill, facing artillery and machine gun fire, and never halted until their objectives were reached The Boche had the pick of the Prussian Guards against us, but even these choice troops were forced back.
 We hear peace rumors now. Every body would welcome it, but the boys are ready to drive the Roche back to Berlin. I was in the front lines every day and shells burst all around me. I lost all my equipment in the drive, but such is war and I must stand for it. It was hard to lose everything but when I get back to civilization I can re-equip myself.
 This drive will go down in history as one of the hardest battles in the war Let us thank God he has pro- teCted Us so far.
 Your loving son. Edwin"

IAN ATLANTIC FORT.

Under 8 ruling by Secretary Dan iels of the Navy department, New York City will regain its identity and will no longer be known as An At lantic Port" Amusing errors crept into print because of the nom de euerre and it was not unusual to read a dispatch describing the arrival of a steamship from Europe at An At lantic Port, those on board cheering madly as they passed the Statue of Liberty. Another frequent statement appearing in papers published in An Atlantic Port" described the recep- ton accorded French or British sol diers who, after disembarking, marched along Fifth Avenue. As there is only one Statue of Liberty and only one Fifth Avenue, it was not difficult for the reader to lift the censorship veil and discover that these interesting events were occur ring almost next door in little old New York.

MILITARY TRAINING.

Universal military training will probably be recommended by the War Department in connection with its program for re-organizing the army. This will be one of the most important questions before Congress and a long struggle is anticipated by champions and opponents of the measure before a decision is reached.
 It is hardly possible that America has forgotten it's experience when called upon to furnish an army to as sist the Allied forces. We had no army to send and months passed be- fore we were able to show any, com parative military strength. The qucS- ton now arises: Are we to return to that condition of unpreparedness? If a poll were taken of those now bear Ing arms for the United States the answer would probably be in the neg ative

THE IMMORTAL SIXTY -EIGHT.

With the conclusion Of war New Britain, in common with every other city in America, must return to the pursuits Of peace and to the read iustment of social and industrial life, and one of itss first duties should be to prepare suitable memorial to the sixtA eight men from this com munity who laid down their lives that the Hun tide might be checked. Six weight men, who, less than two years ago were following their daily occupations, are now lying in heroes graves and it devolves upon those whom they defended to erect mon ument to their memory.
 Complete data concerning these men is in possession of the War Bu- reau and us any memorial should come from the city government, as representative of the people, it might be the part of wisdom even at this early date for Mayor Quigley to ap- point a committee to arrange for the erection of a durable monument. This committee could be composed of mem bers of the Common Council and private citizens who are talented to assist in such an important under taking Sufficient time should be al- lowed the committee in order that the best possible design and material could be secured and artists consult ed, Location would be an important matter and no place better adapted to be the site for such 8 memorial could be found than Central Park. It would he especially fitting that Q monument to the soldiers and sailors of the great World War be located in the shadow of that eloquent pile that recalls the bravery and patriotism of the soldiers and sailors of the Civil War. The latter fought for the free dom of a race; the former for the freedom of the races. As future gen. erations hurry past, New Britain's 8 contribution to democracy will be forcibly impressed upon them and they will know that New Britain al- ways responded when humanity called.

"A VOICE FROM THE PAST.

Germany's sudden political tranSi- socialism has eclipsed even the term ination of the war in world wide in terest and disciples of Karl Marx are overjoyed at the opportunity of eX- perimenting on a wide latitude in the cradle of socialism. Despite the au- tocracy that has held sway ovef Ger many in the past, the progress of so- cialism has been steady, d force not to De denied. L.assalle was the mis- sionary who opened the eyes of the German people early in the nine teenth century to what is now known as socialism. Others took up the work and while there were differences of opinion on the policy to be followed and the goal to be attained, all can be included in the general field of so- ciaism.
 Among the militant socialists of Germany was Freiligrath, who, with Wolff, Engels, Marx and others estab-
 
 Cologne for the dissemination of their ideas. After a series of vicissitudes, during which the publishers were fre- quently thrown into Jail for sedition, the New Rhenish Gazette was ordered to cease publication and its last edi- tion was printed in red ink on July 19, 1S49. On the first page appeared Freiligrath's "Farewelr' which, view ed in conjunction with the transfor- nation in Germany within the past few days, is positively startling; a the leaders of socialism in Germany, knew in their hearts would be real ized
 Like a voice out of the past comes Freiligrath's "Farewell' to haunt the soul of the Hohenzollerns
 Farewell but not forever fare They cannot kill the spirit, my brother;
 In thunder I'll rise on the field where I fell, l More boldly to fight out an other. 1 When the last of Crowns. like
 glass shall break On the scenes our sorrows have haunted,
 And the people it's last dread
 Guilty" shall speak.
 By your side you shall find me
 undaunted.
 On Rhine or on Danube, in war | and deed, You shall witness, true to his
 VOW,
 ! On the wreck of thrones, in the l midst of the field,
 The rebel who Rreets ycu now.

Isetrenchment at Once.
(NeW York sum-

From Washington arrives the warn ing that the end of the war will not bring down the enormous taxes for long. time to come. Surely this mes sage is not the product or the clear intellect and the sound sense of the secretary of the treasury, who knows where the war money has been going and where it would have continued to go but for the armistice,
 The very biggest part Of the war expenditures can be chopped OH mn mediately Does anybody seriously propose that the government shall go on spending nevertheless Has It oe- come so accustomed to thinking Ill billions for demolition during the war that if must think only III pllnohs TOT squandering during peace?
 As an example of why the eXpendl- tures must continue to be colossal the Washington announcement cites the pay of our soldiers It is true that our troops abroad will not be brought home for many a day, but the pay ot those soldiers big as 1t IS Of ltsef, ls a mere trihe compared with the spendiagS that can stop rlght away The pay of our soldiers IS counted hE the millions of dollars d day, but the cost of steel and coal and oil ana lumber for war material mas been counted bv the tens of millions of dol-' lars o day. Likewise the food and tho clothes of our soldiers are counted Inv the millions of dollars 8 day, but tho arms and ammunition used by our troops have been counted by the tens of millions of dollars a day. Every time q great gun is fired 1t blazes into the air the daily pay of regiments. h q few hours a single gun will shoot away more explosives in dollars and cents than the days pay of 100000 soldiers.
 Since tho war is oVer, the govern n,nn+ can end imme edlately the pour ing of hundreds of millions of dollars into the building of cantonments
 hundreds of millions of dollars into ex- nlosivc factories, hundreds of millions l of dollars into munition plants, hu1- d,ads of millions of dollars into war transport machinery, and olillons or dollars into munitions, with billions on ion of those billions into reserve sunn1ies of all kinds and descriptions as was before necessary in case the
 war did go on.
 Cut this off with one stroke! Quit spending for war now, spend
 only for the clearing up of the war and the bills will come down from half a billion dollars week. first to tens of millions then to millions. Retrenchment, huge and immedI- ate must be the first word in this
 dawn of the glory of peace.

\ SONG OF PEACE.

All hail the flag, the starry flag,
 Returning OCT the sea With added glory on it's folds
 From fields of victory Fling out it's colors to the morn
 From balcony and street, It's spangled splendor lights the world It never knows defeat. No more red terror rules the earth And frightfulness the deep No more the pirates of the air
 Shall soar to murder sleep. Stack arms. and with the joyful news Let wires and cables hum, For Peace has laid the weary sticks To rest upon the drum.

Library Notes.

The November Bookman prints lively and humorous account of work in d camp library in Texas.
 
 Burton E. Stevenson, in charge of the American Library association headquarters in Paris describes in the last "Library Journar' the work for the A. E. F. He writes:
 All who come into otfr headquar- ters are so thrilled and eXCited--the tears come into their eyes-at the pathetic eagerness of our men for the sort of service we are giving them. l wish you could see our reading room now, crowded with men. I want a.ll those thousands of men and women back home who have given themselves to this service to know what a godsend 1t is proving. Besides the libraries at Paris, Tours. Dijon, and a dozen other places. we have in- stallations in over six hundred Y. M. c. A. huts. in more than one hun dred hospitals. in K. C. centers Y. W. C. A. hostess houses and Nurses clubs, Salvation Army cabins and in other recreation places. We are equipping military units with lbrar- ies We have placed collections on every hospital train. in every cement section, in forestry camps, and the Cap-Sheaf is the mail service which we have recently started. We are get ting a couple of hundred requests day for special books, soon we shall be getting thousand. But this is small part of our work. The basic service is placing balanced collections in every recreation center and keep ing them repleniShed. We sent out 50,0OO books in September and hope to double that number for October. But the supply must keep up-and practically all of it must come from America
 The continuance of this work de- bends, of course, on the success of the War Work campaign of the present week.
