WELCOME HOME.
Con tributad.)

Welcoming home our soldier bovsl No wonder we felt the thrill of bride, Day of days and joy of joys When arms and hearts were onenod
 wide To welcome back to the dear home Those who were willing to give their
 all; Who, whether the fatcs might smile
 frown Were ready to go at tI,eir countrv's
 cail The streets were lined by an eager
 throng, The National colors were everywhere. And tide of feeling deep and strong flowed to the brave boys marching
 there. Not alone in the outward show The rapids that break with noise and
 foam, But the deep strong currents that
 move below Plumb the depths of the welcome
 home Husbands and Sons and old-time
 Friends fiere III the flesh our joy to share; But ever feeling of sadness blends Ihere are little white crosses over
 there. Heroes who fell in the thick of the
 fray, Spirits undaunted, face to the foe what is the message they send us today? Carry on comrades the torch that we
 throw! Wrongs to be righted, the task now
 is yours, Wrongs that affect not the victims
 alone; Tho we have fallen, the vision
 endureS, You must bear onward the torch we
 have thrown.

THE FALL AMENDMENTS.

Yesterday the Senate of these United States had upon it's calendar vote upon the Fall amendments to tho League of Nations pact. Today 1t still has the process on the bill-of- fare and an afternoon of strife in politics is over Senator Johnson and Senator Williams furnished a pleasing little interlude anent the political am bitions of Senator Johnson. His amendment was discussed and noth- ing new was produced. Senator Brandegee took occasion to state that he had no intention of voting for the Treaty and that he would vote favor ably upon every amendment proposed.
 We have already been furnished with, all of the inside information -Ipon the senator's contemplated course of action. We also have seen enough politics hung upon the Sena- torial washIine, but we are getting no closer to a vote upon the proposition. Why cannot it be settled and new Issue for the 1920 campaign sought?

For Dance Pavilion.

New Britain, Conn.
 Sept. 25, 1919. To the Editor Herald:
 During carnival week it was amply dem onstrated that the Walnut Hill park is an ideal location for public entertainments of a clean sort in the line of circuses, carnivals, etc. There could not be found a better use for this splendid big park than to have the park used by the public who in the last analysis. are responsible for the welfare of a city.
 As il has been but a few band con- certs have been held there during one month of the summer while the rest of the splendid evenings the park remained idle with the possible eX- ception of a few spooning couples ~erenading in the moonlight
 ! would suggest that a large muni- c1pal hall be erected where the danc- ing pavilion StOOd-uSe the hall for dancing-put in chairs and use it for lecture hall, musical auditorium in fact, place where large gather ings can be accommodated at the best possible location in town. As it is now, the only dance halls are at the tops of office buildings-hot, stuffy halls-and the only music auditorium is the Grammar school hall which is sadly in need of ,renovating, because the hall is used solely for the benefit of the school teachers or some charity purpose Ca very worthy cause, but it does not pay for the lighting, or keep the hall in reDair). Make the hall large enough to seat a thousand, at least and rent it out to private parties-let it help pay for it's upkeep and you will find that the people will appreciate it as they ap- preciated the dancing pavilion at the carnival.

PITTSBURGH LOOKS
 FOR CHANGE MONDAY
End of First Week of Strike Shows Little Difference; Meetings
 Jate Today
Late Today.

Pittsburgh, Sept 27.-The close of the first week of the steel workers strike was not expected to see any radical changes in the situation. Both sides today virtually marked time, waiting for Monday, when both steel companies and strike leaders expect a change. Steel company officials said they did not expect any considerable number of men to return to the mills today, but do look for a general influx with the beginning of the new week.
 Mass meetinrs were planned by strike leaders f late this afternoon, tonight and tor orroW in a number of places in the expectation of holding the men already out and persuadinS waVering workers to join the strikers. There has been a great concentration of organizers in this district 10 spread the strike, and every effort will be made to shut down the big plants of the Carnegie Steel company that are still in operation in this sec ton. Renewed efforts to bring out the Jones and Laughln men in the district are also to be made.
 Chief interest about strike head quarters today was centered in the committee called to take action upon the proposed strike against the Bethlehem Steel company Monday.

WILSON BACK IN
 CAPITAL SUNDAY
Sickness Result of Influenza Attack Last April-HOpcS to Greet
 King Albert.

On Board President Wilson's Spe- cial Train, Sept. 27-His speaking tour for the peace treaty interrupted by illness and exhaustion, President Wilson was well along on his journey back to Washington today to take a complete rest on the order of his phy- Sician.
 His special train shunted off from it's original schedule yesterday noon at Wichita, was routed direct for the capital and had right of way for continuous run at the greatest speed consistent with safety. It crossed the Mississippi at St. Louis early in the day and was to be well across Ohio by nightfal. It is due at Washington to- morrow morning.
 Under the constant care of Dr. Cary T. Grayson, his physician, the presi- dent was described as resting comfort ably. Dr. Grayson spent the night in the private car Mayhower so as to be near his patient, and today he kept in close touch with the presidents Condi- ton. He said there was nothing alarming in the situation but that he would insist upon MT. Wilson's taking an absolute rest for a considerable time.
 Mrs Wilson, although herself show ing the strain of the long trip across the continent and back, also was in constant attendance upon the presi- dent.
 The presidents illness, although brought to a head by his eXertion on his speaking tour, is aScribcd by pr. GraySon largely to the attack of in tuenza from which MT. Wilson suf- fered last April in Paris. On that oc- caSiOn he was confined to bed for seV- cral days but he continued his con ferences with the other members of the 'big four" consulting with them al his bedside about critical problems of peace negotiations.
 Although Secretary Tumulty an nounCed that all of the presidents ap- pointments in the near future had been cancelled, it became known that MT. Wilson still believed he might be able to go to New York next Friday to welcome King Albert of Belgium.

On tho Riviera Sands.
(New York Time

Who would have thought, only a few days ago, that VIC should now be viewing the moods and tenses of MT. William c. Rullitt with a certain warmth of fellow feeling! All alone with MT. Steffens, he set out to rec oncile East with West, accom- plished his great mission to his own great satisfaction, and returned to Paris only to be fiouted and secuted and finally routed. Under the first great shock he buttOnhOled the passer-bN even as the Ancient Mariner reli upon the wedding guest, led him to bench in the Champs Elysees, and poured upon him the tale of All for Love of Lenin. This mood slipped into others and still others, each more sombrc and desperate, until finally Mir. 3ullitt cried out in an in spiratIon of bitterness that he was off for the Riviera, there "to lie in the sand and watch the world go to he'll Who would not wish, at first thought, to join him?
 MT. Gompers, who has spent his life consolidating the Federation into tho most substantial organization of labor which the country has known, has his MT. Plumb of the plan to per plex him, his Fitzpatrick and Foster to silence him quite. And by the same token Messrs. Plumb, Fitzpat- rick, and Foster have MT. Gompers who stands against their dream of railway soviets, of a dictatorship of the proetariat. The far1,er, who has rnaneuvered himself into prices which are fabulous by any standard pre- viously imaginable, finds that his profit is rendered largely illusory by the increased cost of labor, and la bor, meantime, which has raised the wage scs.le some furlongs above the steeple, finds itself still or the oold' hard earth, thanks to tho cost or rent, food, and clothing.

much and those who think they promise too little. In short, this period of nStruCtiOn-WhiCh was to rear the dream of each of us into a sub Stantial editiCC-sCCmS mCre like spectre of civilization crashing about our ears. Who would not lie on the sands of the Rivicrt, and watch from afar, in a ;noOd of bitter far niente, the spectacle of universal destruction!
 Except for one thought, nobody; and this thought is that, among so many Cf the dsgruntled of so many different stripes, not all can be quite as right aS they think. Perhaps, aft CT all, in it's own old laundering way, the world is going forward tO-some- thine And wlh all those queer peo- pie on the sands, would the Riviera be quite it's old self? It is a hard, long game we are playing, with re- buffS and setbaCkS, as it seems, for everybody. But the one only hope for most Of us is to be among those who see it through.
