COMMUNICATED. HIGH SCHOOL SPIRIT

Editor New Britain Herald:
 Whosoever misguided you into the opinion as expressed in your editorial, il tercst was demonstrated :n the sport (basebalD in the spring sadly bungled the facts in the case when making this rash state ment.
 The student body are all interested in baseball and arc all interested and proud of the records established by former teams, but no call was ever is- sued this spring for candidates for the team, and had there been a call there would have been enough candidates out to start league. The plan to abolish baseball aud institute track was decided upon long before Spring came tripping north again this year." so you can plainly see the injustice done, and the error of your intelligent informant.
 You continue in discordant strain, and wander from baseball to the sub

 insults. girls included.
 Discussing for moment school spirit, and school pride. Did you ever take pains to inquire into the war rec ord of our school? Can not your memory travel back to the time our municipal potato crop was in danger of being lost, because of the frost and the shortage of labor? Who rallied to the support of the mayors appeal for help in harvesting the crop, was it not High school students who saved the day?
 When Mir. Hoover was directing the relief work in Belgium and called for funds to support the noble work, was it not students from the High school who again showed spirit of co-Op- eration?
 When the United States war work
 drive was on, did not the officials ot l the campaign look for and enlist our support?
 When the government was in dire need of gas masks, did not students from this school go out into the tac- ! tories and work all day, yes and Tar l into the night so that our boys might | have the necessary equipment to wage 1 war successfully.
 I might mention hundreds of other | illustrations where 8 great amount or | school spirit and pride was displayed ! but I know an editors time is pre- l cious, and I will abstain. i To come ba0k to your article agaln'

"BOLSHENISM."

Mayor FitzGerald is on the scene fnd has at his command many chan hels of information concerning the |ioting in New Haven and it is there lore risky to take issue with him on Ihe cause. At the same time he leaves himself open to criticism when he diagnoses the case offhand as Bolshe- Fism. This word is in the mouth of many public officials who do not hesi- late. to use it freely, whether or not B ts use is justified.
 Bolshevism, in the crudest sense,, aims to destroy existing forms of gov Rrnment and to substitute something else for our economic system. Resist #nce to the police is not Bolshevism.
 Uncontrolled crowds Altering through &he public streets smashing windows #s not Bolshevism. Fist fighting be- Tween hostile public elements is not
 Bolshevism. There is a great differ Rnce between Bolshevism and what #ctually happened in New Haven.
 What was witnessed in Mayor Fitz- zIerald's city may be a new form of general hysteria. It may be a symp-
 tom of new restlessness that has tome over the world. And yet simi- lar incidents occurred in other cities Hong before the masses ever heard of
 Ehe world Bolshevism. It was serious #rioting but public security lay in the
 fact that it was aimless and leaderless. 3t apparently had no object, the
 frowds had no particular destination #hor did they, any more than the po- $ice, appear to know what it was all
 hbout.

Talk en in connection with a statement is- sued by Talbot Mundy, a student of affairs Oriental, it can be seen that the conference must proceed with the greatest caution.
 According to Mr. Mundy, the Mos lems constitute d potential pyre of great magnitude on which civiliza ton will be burned anew unless the ad- justrnent of Turkish affairs meets with the approval of Mohammed's faithful. He declares that there has never been such danger of jihad, or holy war,

President himself. As he is the ablest orator in the nation and as he has 8 manner of brea king down all opposi- ton, it is possible that he could stump the country asking for personal support and win out. His chances would be particularly bright if he campaisned on platform advocating the demOcratization of industry. That plank, combined with the brilliant ar gumentativc powers and pleasant per- sonality of Woodrow Wilson, would give his political foes something to think about.
 Chairman Homer $. Cummings of the Democratic National Committee is not at all certain that President Will son will not seek a third term.

HAS BRIGHT FUTURE.

Auckland, New Zealand, May 29.-- Colonel Robert Logan, tho New Zealand administrator Of former Ger man Samoa, says the future of theN colony is very bright. Cattle .srg and cocoanut- growing are tW@ su} portant industries. Colonel Lo 2an said that former German Samoa had been self supporting since New Zealand military occupation. In 1917,. trade increased over that of 1916 by over S1,000,000; and the figures for 1918 would have been 8 record but for the epidemic of influenza. The increase in trade is now nearly all with the United States. Apia, said Colonel Logan, needs a basin and wharf where vessels may discharge cargo in any weather instead of hav- ing to discharge it in the open road bed
