Local Historians should record the fact that Joseph Claire Beebe, organ ist of the South Congregational church, was the medium by which the news of the signing of the armistice first became generally known. When MT.

"Early news of the signing of the armistice came through The Cour- ant" says a statement on the New Britain page of the Hartford morning paper. The writer forgot to add that the news came through "The Cour- ant forty-five minutes after it had been circulated by the New Britain Herald, which communicated the glad ttdings to Mayor oAgley and the manufacturers before 3 o'clock on Monday morning. Only a minor matter but we might just as well tell the truth about it.

From the beginning of the war, German government officials have made an effort to create. the impress sion that the German public was be- Ing well fed and was being sustained physically on crops grown within the borders of the Fatherland In the light of declarations by Dr. Solf, these statements are found to have been mere bluff. The truth is, according to pr. solf, millions face starvation un- less internal conditions are relieved imm ediately. Thus is another Ger man lie exposed.
 Throughout America there will be wide objection to sending food to Germany but it. is probab ble the food will be shipped. The United States could never hold up it's head as Christian nation if it deliberately per mitted millions of women and chill dren to starve by withholding as- sistaace. America can be brave in war and it can be charitable toward the civil population of 8 defeated ene- my. The main purpose of the war was to crush the military power of Germany. That being accomplished, it would be inhuman to impose the horror of starvation and famine on the German people as an additional punishment
