PARIS, May 19.-The council OF
four met this morning. The German
mote on the status of the German
religious missions and further de-
tails OF Bulgarian and Turkish af-
fairs we're to be considered.
The impression prevailed in peace
conference circles today that the
peace treaty with Austria would not
be presented during the current
week. The drafting OF the document
is taking longer than was anticipat-
ed.

Nutiny at Archangci.
New York TitneS.)

American soldiers arc. not often un
 grcttablc episodes in our military his
 tory-three months men whose time
 was up going homo on the eve of
 battle in tho civil war, militia in 1912
 to help hard pressed regulars because
 they could not constitutiOnally be
 called into foreign service; but the
 refusal of troops at Archangcl to go
 back to the front has no parallel
 since the mutiny of some starving COntincntalS in 17S1.
 This is a serious infraCtion of mili- tary discipline; there is no need to point out the consequences to the allied troops at Archangei, or to the British, Americans, and Italians now going to their relief, if all our men should refuse to fight. An army whose officers have to explain to it before each battle whether there is any req son to fight or not is not a very trust worthy weapon for national defense, and the ArchangCl expedition was be- gun as a defensive measure, as part of the widespread plan-the other parts of which have been abandoned to keep Russia from falling into the hands of the Germans. BOlsheNist propaganda from the enemy's lines has no doubt been at work, and the Bolsheviki will be much inspired by what thny regard as the disintegra- ton of a capitalist army.
 But the men have something on their side. They pointed out to their officers that "the entire BolsheVist question was the subject of much political debate and indecisfon in the United States" These soldiers are fighting the Bolsheviki, with whom they are not formally at war. While

The amount will he S4, 500, 100000, a figure far below the anticipations of the financial men of the nation. Interest will be paid at 4M per cent. The bonds will mature In four years
 Treasurer Glass appeals to the nuh- lie to absorb the bonds with the sam me spirit of patriotism as in the four other loans From an investment Standpoint, tho new bonds are highly attractive to the man who has q, few hundred dollars or to others wh,, are willing to make time payments :n or der to lay away nest egg for a rainy day.
 It has been supposed that the banks would subscribe for the greate, amount of the bonds but Treasurer Glass points out one serious danger m allowing such a program to go Through. Banking interests should be left free ''to supply the credit neces- sary for the purposes of industry and commerce and the full employment of labor, he says. This is a truth every one should recognize. If the banks funds are tied up in Victory bonds Industry will suffer during the period of readjustmen and business expen- sion. This, as in the case of other loans, should be distinctly a peoples affair.

WILL JAPAN WITHDRAWN?

With the exception of Japan, the
 great powers seem to be satisfied with the new draft of the League of Nl- reached at the Paris conference. Pre- mier Clemenceau of France states that he is pleased with the decisions concerning reparation and with the and as the French offered the most important barrier to the consumma- tion of peace his words will be re- ceived with qualification in other countries.
 In a copyright dispatch printed to- day, the New York World conveys the news that the Japanese may retire from the Peace Conference unless tine League of Nations constitution is so amended as to eliminate racial dis Elimination and afford the Japanese free field. The reservation is made that Japan may continue to form part of the conference and seek to offset what it considers an affront hy H gaining commercial concessions. The H World says that Baron Makino, head x of the Japanese delegation, has been N Instructed by the home government at
 Tokio, to return unless a specific dec I Iaration against racial discrimination N is made part of the covenant.

Labor Conditions.
Bridgeport Post

Attention was called the other day to the report of tho labor commits sioner on various matters relating to labor in the state. Now comes an other report from that dcpartm ent, made by the industrial Investigate Miss Charlotte M. Holloway, The re- port also supplies the statistical mat ter which was not at hand in the previous issue.
 II is disclosed that during the year there were 368OSO employees in the factories of the state, receiving S343. .963,7S1 in wages, or at the rate of nearly $1,0OO person, mon, Wo- mon and children. When ono looks back dozen years ago and recalls that the average yearly wage paid in Inc state was less than $500 a year, the great advance in the past few years can best be understood.
 The value Of the product of these persons was s1.159, ,O46.S6S, showing that more than one-third of it rep rcscnts labor cost. Surely the war brought vastly greater returns. The mum ber of industries in the state were 3.934.
 Although there were but thirty four factories malling guns, revolvers and munitions the force employed was the largest 60.997. and their pro- duct amounted to $204,622,513. Con- trary to general belief these employees did not receive the highest average wages. Automobiles, machinery of all kinds, electric work. hardware, musical instruments, rubber silk and velvet, and stone plaster and con- crete, all excel munitions in wage payments.
 Printing led all tho rest. In 2o2 csta blishments, employing 4,193 per sons the total wages paid was s9, S79,87l, or. an average of S2,3QQ a year,

THE FLAGS or THE 1O2D.

Mayor David FitzG erald of New Haven has appeared in the field as an applicant for the flags of the 102d Reg imcnt, which, he believes should be permanently housed in New Haven. But he meets with objections, in the person of Governor Holcomb, who insists that tho flags will be preserved at the state capitol in Hartford. The Governor is right. The 102d Regi- ment was composed of mon from every corner of Connecticut. There Is no reason why their flags should be taken to New Haven and kept there. They should go to the state capitol.
 '"The capitol is the repository for the colors and they will not go to New Haven if in my power to prevent" :" Governor Holcomb declares. Public opinion in this case will be found against the clever and genial eXccu- tive of New Haven.

 But above and beyond these dplo- matic transactions, a thing that must
 impress the army at Archangel is that we arc not fighting this enemy anywhere else. Our government has expressly refused to fight him or his allies in central Europe Our troops

NATURE AND MAN.

seed sprouts, becomes a Sapling and after years of facing the elem ents develops into a majestic tree. Yet man rails because he cannot become a forest overnight.
 The river slowly wends it's way to the ocean, climbing over or going around obstacles and feeling it's path through the valleys. Yet man chafes at the delays he meets in rushing into the big things of life.
 Rocks that have seen the rising and the setting of the sun for ages, slowly crumble, become dust, are blown away and disappear. Yet frail man grieves because some day Death will beckon him to come.
 Nature eXemplities patience; man patienCe. Nature cannot think: man can think, but doesn't. Nature, dumb and mute, is an object lesson man ignores. With all our intcllec- tual gifts we cannot see, as it was given us to see, that all great achieve- ments are won slowly and only with the passage of time. Happiness is impossible until this great truth o1 living is taken into the heart.

G. Q. r. SPLIT WIDENS.

When John T. King speaks on poli- tics the state bricks up it's ears be- |cause he invariably talks interesting |ly. His words in Bridgeport Satur-
 day are illuminatiVe of the schism in the ranks Of the Republican party in Connecticut. In a sentence, he served notice thatahe will withdraw from he Fairfield County Republican or |ganization rather that consociate with lJ Henry Roraback, Colonel Ullman and Attorney General Healy. That is ' a radical statement coming from a snational committeeman and may be accepted as evidence that it is war to the death between the King faction and the Rorabacl1 crowd.
 In the course of his remarks, Mr. King discussed the shrinkage of the Republican state election majority during. the past eight years from 45,- z000 to 1000 and openly boasted that 2 It was his organization in the Fair @ield end of the commonwealth that saved Governor Holcomb's neck at &the last two elections.

As the Magazine has al- ready Ventured to remark, however those who plan these things usual1v divide into two sharply opposed sroups, the cheese cloth group and the hot-air group: each as clcarly de- hned in it's way as was each of the parties of tourists encountered ly Tartarin in certain of his Dcrcgrjn- ations.

 An unbiased analysis of the decline ot the Republican power in the past eight years would show it to be due to three causes:
 Poor campaign management be- cause Of disaffection in the ranks.
 Nomination Of candidates who did not appeal to the people
 Lack of confidence in the party by the voters.
 Whether it is the first, second or third, or all three together is 6 mat ter or serious concern to those who have the interests of the party at heart and unless the Republican doc tors make haste to prescribe the cor rect medicine it would not be sllrprs- ing to see Connecticut return a ma- jority for the Demo ocratic party in 1920, a political milestone toward which all eyes are strained.
 MT. King admitted that Connecticut is a doubtful state and it may be in ferrcd from other parts of his talk that he fears to some extent the influ- ence of Homer Cummings, newly elected chairman of the Democratic 1 National Committee, and Thomas J. Spellacy, whose remarkable run for Governor last Fall was interpreted in 1 the Dem ocratic camp as presaging

 Of the number of persons em- ployed, 274,92O are men and 97,7OI women. In the matter of age, only 1,5I0 arc under sixteen, or a frac- ton over two per cent more than sCNcnty-tW0 per cent are between twenty and forty. The wage increases during the year were marked, while the larger part of the employed worked less than f1fty-tWo hours a week.
 There arc many remarkable dis closures made by the report showing the steadily growing care exhibited by employers in providing for the health and comfort of employees. Tn this respect the report is in striking contract 10 some of tho older ones Of a dozen years ago. In fact the whole tone of the report represents the significant advance made in fac tory employment in the years of the twentieth century.
 There are some worthy recOmmen- datiOns. Prevocational and voca- Uonal schools are advised in grade and grammar schools, There should be an extension of phsical culture in schools for both boys and girls. A law should be passed preventing young mothers from working in tex tile and metal industries
 There are some useful suggestions in regard to toilets and other rooms with a view to safeguarding health and morals. Better arrangcme should be made for furnishing drink ing water in every room. Direct lighting is advised Great care should be taken in guarding elevators and in arranging fire escapes.
