RECOGNITION OF WOMAN.

With public interest and affections osntered on the soldiers returning from European fields of victory, little thought or attention is given to the sacrifices endured during the war by the women of America Nearly every oity In the land is discussing the erec- ton of suitable memorials to the fighting men. Some will erect monu- rnents and some buildings. Nothing will be loft undone to perpetuate the memory of Americas great citizen army that turned the tide of battle and forced Germany to hoist the white flag of surrender Are we go- Ing to overlook, deliberately or through thoughtlessness, the labor of womAnk1nd?
 National spokesmen everywhere have paid tribute to the sacrifices and the co operation of the women of the world. When men were called from the factories, women by the thousand responded to the call to take their places and to keep flowing toward the front trenches the unend- Ing supply of ammunition that was so essential. Those who could not leave their homes to work in factories spent their hours knitting and sewing and preparing comforts for the boys in a far-off land. No country ever could boast of more patriotic women than America and their efforts should be publicly recognized.
 We have tp New Britain a commit tee considering the erection of a memorial. That memorial will be in compete unless means are provided for expressing proper appreciation of he women of the city. who were as much a. part of the war machine as he soldiers who battled in the mud of France and Belgium. Let New Brit ain be the first city in the nation to honor woman and her efforts.

Washington, Dee. 3.-ConGreSsman Augustine Lonergan conferred Friday
 with officials Of the Treasury depart mcnt with a view 10 working out defi- mite plans for the replaccm ent of Lib- erty Bonds that have been lost by prr- Ghascrs. He suggested that every time a bond was sold the mum Der 0 aA the bond and the name of the pur-, chaser should be taken by the bank or agency making the sale. The con- 2TcSsman pointed out that while this was done in many instances by the banks, on many occasions it was not. Consequently many bonds throughout the country have been lost, due 10 tho of people who ordina rily arc not bOndhOldCrs
 While the present law on tlts qucs- tion attempts to be complete, it does not cover the whole situation, and MT, Lon ergan. who, as member of the committee on banking and currency, has paid particular attention to fnan- cial problems arising out of the war; is of the opinion that the Treasury department should act therein.

KEEP LIGHT BURNING.

Tn our beautiful city of New Brit ain we have a beautiful Soldiers Mon- ument located on Central Park. At any time during the day as one passes the park he beholds the beautiful monuments standing plainly before him, but if one passes at night, with the exception of the past few eVe- nings, he would not realize that there was a monument there During the past few evenings a powerful electric light is held aIoft at the top of the mOnumcn which plainly sets forth our beautiful monument. Who it was that proposed the idea Of this light deserves much credit. Now that war is over and peace is here. let us keep it burning from one end of the pass ing year to the other. Then. folks passing through our city, end our own citizens, can behold the mOnumenE to our returned soldiers.

The differences in the amount of the increases in the officers of the depart ment vary because of the annual com- pensaton was fixed at an even fig ure.

 The fire commissioners, endorsed by the police commissioners, recom- mended increases of 90 cents a day each for the electrical superintendent and assistant superintendent, which which would make their pay $1,9S7.50 and $1,4S7.50 year respectively. They asked for 20 per cent. increases. The increases in the fire depart ment, recommended by the board of fire commissioners reaches an aggre- gate of SS,030. The firemel asked for an increase of 75 cents a day and the fire commissioners recommended 50 cents day for all members of the permanent force. That will make the pay of the chief engineer $2,165 g year: captains. $4.84 a day: licuton- ants, S456: tircmcn, first grade, $4.29: second grade. s4.01 and third grade, s374
 When the present salaries were adopted by the common council it was the underst anding that the amounts then fixed would be for the year only. If is probable that what ever adjustments are made the same course will be followed.
