Claims IndisCretions With Ex-
Husband on Wedding Day

Danbury, March samuel II,
Rumble, IS, retired banker, whose
bride of 0 sued him for a divoUa
following a single day of married life,
mas MED a confederation in which no
accuses her Of indiscretions with "A
FORMER husband on the day the cere-
mony was performed. Another allc-
CATION is that she committed fraud
When she told the marriage clerk al

Mrs. Rumble was Gladys Austin

l see dark Bcllcau Wood again,
I >Aear my buddy's moan Of pain,
I dream of the numb, dumb nights
and days
When we stumbled on through q
foul, red haze
To a goal that no man saw,
But I didn't see home as [ fought
out there,
And ! didn't hear even your song
and prayer,
And [ had no dream Of q gloricd end,
OF wrongs to avcnge or land to de-
Or the future Of Worldwide law.
I heard in Bclleau Wood a call
And I saw two words on its smoky
wall.
7 dreamed Of living them till die:
"Semper Fidels." our battle cry
Was flaming iii my brain.
And felt my soul rush on with the
food
That was bone of my body and blood
Of my blood.
"Faithful to DEATH" and T knew no
more
Till the day was done and we'd set
tied the score,
That our dead had not died in
vain.
And that's what VIC saw, we mad
marines.
And that's what we sec today,
When the Stars and Stripes, like a
gay bird prcens,
And the band begins to play
The motto that led through Deaths
dark scenes
In Belleau's dread array
I see our dead,
And I bow my head
Till the dream has passed away.

OLD-TIME RATTIESHIPS
CONFINED TO SCRAP HEAP.

Philadelphia, March 1.-Three Of
the old-time leaders of the American
navy have been condemned to the
scrap heap. The Indiana, Massa-
chusetts and Iowa, battleships now in
the basin of the Philadelphia navy
yard will shortly be destroyed as they
have outliVed their usefulness. Yet,
twenty-five years ago, they were the
equals of anything af1oat. The IN
diana class of battleship was regard
ed as q daring experiment. When
the Indiana first went to sea all on
board were impressed with the feel
ing that she might turn over in a
heavy sea. and go to the bottom. Al
though the old battleships are still
serviceable, and they were used in
the world war they are obsolete and
are therefore destined for the naval
morgue.

Is hoped that The BUSH u of the as
sembly will be dispatched with dig
nifty and decorum. The TAXPAYERS
association delegates are said to haSve
admitted the danger lurking in a
meeting such as was held last Wedf
nesday and to have expressed their
disapproval.
Arbitrary action by either side can
work great harm to New Britain
and it is the welfare Of the city
seyeryone should have in mind. The
@ty officials submitted what they be-
eved to be a sound budget based on
Nc needs of the city. Their views
let with stubborn opposition by the
bxpayers' association whose men,
rship appeared in remonstranCe. 1t
Rs obvious-and it is only fair to so
: hte-that the majority in attend
ce at the city meeting did not want
e % mill tax, but it was unfair to
81 for a vote on a budget which had
t been explained to the people and
was blindness to offer substitute
dget in form that would make it
possible for the assessors to pre-
Hector to send out bills. With these
fects remeded the dispute can be
Fought down to a discussion Of the
ems in the substitute budget and
Mir minded men can decide for or
ainst them.
* according to reports, the Taxpay-
s. association now agrees that in
stices would be worked in many
ses if the rate for the new fiscal
lar had been brought down to Fl
lis. Salaries should not be slashed.
Rither should the health DEPART
ent be crippled. There are estimates
r. the official budget which could be
minated without great harm They
yer items that are desirable but
t essential. BY crossing them off,
e tax rate can be brought down to
out % mills, which will still be a
tory for the Taxpayers league and
II not affect the public interest seri-
sly.
A heart to heart discussion between
spokesman for the city and for
association seems to be what was
eded to prevent the recrudescence
a disagreeable situation. The people
III feel relieved if this has been &C
mplished.

More UNEMPLOYMENT.
Manchester Herald

kAdllCAGSLCl j Lei ntib.
The increasing unemployment in
the state, reported from most Of the
big manufa curing centers, Is some
thing we can only blame ourselves for.
The condition might and should have
been forescen and proper preparedness
measures undertaken. With the les
son of unpreparednCSs for wal by the
government still fresh in our minds,
we committed the same blunder,
both as a nation and state, in respect
to peace. A few states, ii is true,
like New jersey, have prevented or
remedied the difficulty by putting
thousands of the idle to work on
public improvements, q, means made
possible in Jerseys case by q large
cash balance in the treasury, but M oSt
of them have not been SO fortunate
or so wise.

WAR, SEPULTUKE OF THOUGHT

Necessary as it may be, it is never
thought is narrowed to one or two
mountainous subjects. Mans freedom
of expression is limited because his
mind is concentrated on the problems
that are perplexing the world. The
columns of the press bulge with news,
but it Is all of the same color tone
and deals almost exclusively with
subject matter pertaining to the war
that Is past or the peace that has not
arrived We search in vain for lacy
word trellises on which bloom beau
tiful and fragraSt wisteria of
thought. Originality of expression is
stihed in the dead level Of material
things. For relief, it is necessary to
explore the happy writings of other
periods when ina gination was flung
free and when minds were not
chained to the task of weighing the
problems of the people in dollars and
cents and land Like Atlas, we stag
ger along carrying the burdens of the
sphere upon our shoulders and we
have become so accustomed to our
load that we seldom think of casting
if aside and wandering into the mead
ows where blossoms nod and
beckon and dance in the breeze.
The earth has become commonplace
and for a time at least has abandoned
the artistry of literature and the
rd-sca1e is a horrible dissonance
of Earring emotions.

An Orgy Of Morality.
(NeW York WOrld)


The great sweep of m orality moves
on apace. At the first days session Of
the New York State Sabbath assoca-
ton. plans were discussed to obtain
legislation prohibiting Sunday excur-
sions and 10 close ice cream parlorS
on Sunday. The religious services
held on board Hudson River stea M
CTS were criticized as pure camOu-
fla &c" and on" reverend delegate
raised the question, "What are YOU
going to do with the motorists on
SundaN?'
Certainly an Ominous beginning.
But is not even the soul Of a Sunday
eXcurSiOnist worth saving? Shall there
be any activity on Sunday not direct
Iy conducive to the moral welfare Of
man-any baking of hot meats or
purvcying Of iCe cream, amy running
Of vehicles? AS TO what they are
going to do" with Otorists, perhaps
it will be decreed la wful to. use a car
in going TO church, but never, Of
course, to the golf links and the in
ipuitous country club-neVer for the
sensuous pleasure of riding.
Apparently there are other moral
reforms in prospect besides prohibi-
ton and who can say that the worst
is not yet to come under a strict con-
dtion Of Sunday observance? If the
Sa bba ia rians have their way, the
closing of saloon doors may be only
the beginning Of a program to effect
the hermetical sealing of every source
Of Sunday amusement. It is some
thing for modern refOrmers to beat
the Puritans at their game. Having
made tho world safe for democracy,
must the next crusade be against the
autocracy of moral regulation at
