BARON RHONDDA.

Tn the news of the day is included word of the death of Baron Rhondda, Food Administrator for England. His death removes a man who, though possessed of q great fortune, sacri- feed his time, his energy and his health to his nations needs. Tn a crisis when a shortage of food threat ened serious to impede England's s war work Baron Rhondda took LID the reins and by skiilful adminstra- ton brought the nation safely through the trying days until the next harvest had arrived and supplies from overseas had relieved the short age. He was a veritable slave to his office and he gave a practical exam pie of food conservation by reducing his table to the bare necessities of life. It might also be said that he slowly starved himself to death, so rigidly did he practice himself what he preached to others Baron Rhond- da's namc and his work will ever be held in loving memory by a gratc- full nation.

TRUCKS TO DISSOLVE
 FREIGHT JAM HERE
Owners Of Cargo Autos Invited to Attend Conference at Cham
 bcr of Commerce.

The trathc managers of the Variou9 manufacturing concerns in New Brit. am held an interesting meeting in the Chamber of Commerce rooms yester4 day afternoon, the freight congestion as it affects New Britain being given special attention. Ways and meana to have this congestion relieved at tha transfer points were discussed and it was decided that auto trucks can do 8 great deal towards relieving the sit- uation. Freight is not coming in and going out of the city as rapidly as ih should, the manufacturers feel and owners of auto trucks are urged tu utilize their machines in a manneE that will prove beneficial in this re- spect. It was decided to invite all automobile truck owners to attend a meeting in the Chamber of Com- merce rooms Wednesday, afternoon, July 10 at 2 o'clock, to discuss the situation.
 Highway transfer Of express through various routes from New York to Boston was also brought uu for consideration. During the pasf two weeks, motor trucks have been instrumental in having thirty-threa tons of freight delivered in New York, from New Britain, and twenty tons were taken from here to Boston by auto truck.
 The practicability of trucks for transportation of freight is cer- tainty One handicap however, is thaA there are not trucks enough. Ownera of trucks are urged to interest them- selves in this plan, and also to in- terest others in it, by inducing them to purchase trucks and carry on this prosperous business.
 Because of crowded conditions aa railroad centers and in the various freight yards throughout the East, which is due in large measure td the increased output at factories busy with rush orders, it was suggested some time ago that auto trucks ba used to handle the surplus freight. Before organizing a plan of this na- ture, the manufacturers of New Brit ain eXperimcnted by having trial trips made between here and some of the larger cities, and were pleased with the results obtained. A number of truck owners have decided to avail themselves Of this opportunity and i'd is hoped that others will follow in their footsteps.

COMMUNICATED.
rO the Editor of the Herald

10 the 6QlIoC Dl ttlt HUG
 1 was somewhat surprised to read in the paper last night the order or the divisions for the Fourth of July paradc. I supposed it was to be an American parade but according to the paper. I see no mention of any Amer ican society. Please tell me where the 100 per cent. American will lit In. The committee has ruled that no nag but old Glory should be carried Tn the parade. I cannot see why the different nations cannot carry thelr own flag as long as they are classified as different nations. I have heard several speak about this matter and all feel that it is an insult to the Real Americans of the city. l mean 10 cast no reflections on our foreign-bOfn clt- izens or upon their children Who may have acquired American cltizen- ship. Their loyalty cannot be ques- toned. but that does not answer the question of where native-born Amer jeans are to march.
 As Father Winters told his people last Sunday he was not Irish but 100 per cent. American and that his par ish was the same and that is the splr- il we should all have. Not this nation or that nation but Real Americans.

THE NEW FOURTH.

K e Fourth of July is our first and
 # and most sacred holiday. Ever
 t776, when the birth of our na- x was proclaimed to the world, this a oral ble date has been held in lov- | memory by all true Americans.
 nearly a century and d half it's M rrence has been the occasion for Mnn observance of the greatest #t in our history. Volumes have E written about it; our most fam @ orators have found in it the in
 ktion for their most brilliant E ches, and every child in school
 been impressed with the signifi- K e of it.
 has been the custom for years to @ to the general celebration by py-
 chnic displays, the discharge of
 rms, and the like. The American M h has always looked forward to # Fourth of July with keen antici-
 E son as the day on which he might @ lge in this kind of celebration bout interference. Of late there N been 8 tendency to substitute in Ne of such displays a program of
 F ts and speech making. and this #e and sane" idea has proven en- successful.
 8om orrow, however, when we cele- #te the Fourth of July for the sec time since our entry into the H lat War, the holiday will have S ny features which will stamp it as greatest national observance of 8 day thus far in our history. Tn s6 we fought for our existence. In 88 we are fighting for the whole @ld's safety. Tn IT'S we pro- med our independence, In 1918 announce to the universe that erican arms shall not be laid down lii the power that threatens the %ld shall have been SubdueQ. In 6 our army comprised a handful men. fighting along the Atlantic board, but they were men of strong B rts and mighty deeds. Tn 1918 we Ee legions under arms, and over } million soldiers across the seas hting the battle for freedom, and |ir accom- pIishments thus far mark I'm as true descendants of those Coic Colonials. And similarly com- Fisons could be drawn between bry branch of our Government to- and those infant departments hstituting the organization of 1776. Truly it is difficult to believe that powerful United States Govern Int of today is the giant which sw LID from the Colonial child of 76. And yet it is the same. The ne defiance of autocracy which ompted the heroes of Bunker Hill ,ptres the men in khaki today at ux. The same determination which wed our forefathers in Revolution v days to secure freedom for them yes, urges us to give our all today

sTH1E PARADE.

Eo1umn will be found a
 6n from a Herald reader
 4mself ''1OO per cent. Am
 Ind who is apparently
 NEr the manner of naming
 3s divisions which will form
 pendence Day parade tomor-
 lVe agree with the author of
 communication in his belief that
 parade on July 4th is to be an
 Ekerican parade. We understand his &eelings, and we wish we could in- form him just what place in the par tade men could take who, like himSlef feel that they are nothing else than just good, plain Americans. But un~ fortunately, VIC cannot advise him. We believe, for our own part, that the question of nationalities should have considerations of the committee. A Fourth of July parade, especially at time in our history like the present; should be essentially an AM ERICAN parade, ana aS we idN . 9Ie'C0o oH E' previous occasion, anyone may and ought to participate who considers himself 100 per cent. American. To those who feel otherwise about this point, let them reflect on the words of the Democratic gubernatorial can l didate in his recent speech of accept ! +1c, ina 1 that if there be any amongst us who l love another country more than Am erica. in Gods name let him get out, for he is not wanted here. It is inn material whether a man or his par ents happened to be born in this or that foreign country. If he marches in the Fourth of July parade he Is an American; he signifies by his action in marching that he pledges allegl- ance to America. and he should not desjcnate himself or his division in the parade by any distinguishing mark or feature. We arc today all Americans and we have only one flag, the Stars and Stripes. Those amongst us of foreign extraction are just as loyal as those born in this country. We were born here because our par ent3 happened to live in the United States when we came into this world. The foreign born however, came here of their own free will chose the United States from among all other nations as their new home, and they are proving by their response to the call for volunteers and to the various patriotic appeals for funds that they are qualified as much as ve to be called Americans. Let everyone who can, therefore join in the parade to- morrow. There Is room for all and the parade will be a success if all ex- Crcise calm judgment.

INDEPENDENCE BELL

l There was tumult in the city. Ill the quaint old Quaker town. ! And the streets were rife with peo- pie Pacing restless up and down; People gathering at corners, Where they whispered each tc each, And the sweat stood on their temples With the earnestness of speech. 1 As the bleak Atlantic currents 1 Lash the wild Newfoundland shore, l So they beat against the State House, ] So they surged against the door; l And the mingling of their voices l Made harmony profound, ] Till the quiet street of Chestnut Was all turbulent with sound "Who is speaking?" What's the What of Adams?-' "What of Sher~ man." "Oh, God grant they won't refuse!" Make some way, there!" Let me nearer!' 1T am stit1ingt" 'Stif1e. then; When a nations life's at hazard, We've no time to think Of meni"
  So they beat against the portaI-~
 Man and woman, maid and child. And the July sun in heaven
 On the scene looked down and
 smiled: The same sun that saw the Spartan Shed his patriot blood in vain, Now behcld the soul of freedom
 All unconquered rise again. Aloft in that high steeple
 Sat the bellman, old and gray: He was weary of the tyrant
 And his -sceptred sway: So he sat with one hand ready
 On the c1apper of the bell, When his eye should catch the signal, Very happy news to tell. See! See! the dense crowd quivers Through all it's lengthy line, As the boy beside the portal
 Looks forth to give the signi With his small hands upward lifted, Freezes dalying with his hair, Hark! with deep clear information, Breaks his young voice on the air. Flushed the peoples swelling nurmur, List the boy $ strong joyous cry "Ring!" he shouts aloud, ring!
 Grandpa!
 RingI Oh, ring for Liberty! And straightWay, at the signal.
 The old bell1nan lifts his hand, And sends the good news, making Iron music through the land. How they shouted! What rejoicing! How the old bell shook the air, Till the cang of freedom ruffled The calm gliding Delawarei How the bonfires and the torches Illumed the nights repose, And from the flames, like Phoenix, Fair Liberty arose! That old bell now is silent,
 And hushed it's iron tongue, But the spirit 1t awakened
 Still ltves-foreVer young. And while we greet the sunlight
 On the Fourth of each July, We'll ne'er forget the bellman,
 Who. 'tWixt the earth and sky, Rung out our Independence,
 Which, please God, shall never die!
