 The whole subject of merit test for admission to pub lie employment is discussed with recognition of the nescap able fact that during the all civil service programs were shot to pieces The government wanted help 1t could get and often had to take what offered.
 Any civil service system must consider the those who have served their country The executive commends allowance for service and double allowance for those who have been wounded is asserted however that the applicant must be able to hold down the job
 There is certain rigdity about these proposals which the has not softened Many organizations harden after few years into certain conventional propositions from which they with difficulty rescued
 While it is true that the merit system has advantages il Is also rue that millions of public servants employed anC discharged without regard to merit systems sua ton is not hopeless Just the government applied training to the to be employed it's special tasks it possible to fit the ordinary American job holders extent for his work, though he is to it. might be possible to establish vesbue schools for the nsruc

FERTILIZER SOLD
 BY GOVERNMENT
Nitrates to Be Distributed Under Direction of De- partment of Agriculture at Washington.
Esf0EIIshe0 1857

According to a telegram made pub lie today by the Extension Depart ment of the Agricultural College at Storrs, the Department of Agriculture at Washington through the Bureau of Markets will offer to sell to farm
 CTS in Connecticut nitrate of soda at $81 ton f o. ib. the loading point .>r port. Arrangements have been made to secure large quantities of this fer tilizer through the War Department and unless the demand is far greater than has been anticipated, the De- partment of Agriculture believes that it will be able to supply all reason able requirements.
 c. B. Smith of the states relations service at Washington has notified the authorities at Storrs that the i County Farm Bureaus are author
 z.d to appoint committee of three i or more local business men to assist 1 in the sale of nitrates. It is under
 stood that these men will serve with
 cut compensation simply as matter iof helpfulness to their neighbors in
 securing a commercial fertilizer that has been very high in price and very
 hard to get. A county nitrate distrib-
 utor will also be appointed in each county and these distributors will of
 course be reimbursed by the govern
 ment for necessary expenses incurred
 in distributing the fertilizer. Special arrangements have been made for the
 rapid delivery of goods as soon as or

WILSON WILL ACQUIr HIMSELF WELL BEFORE NATIONS SAYS SEN. THOMAS

Washington, Jan. 4-Senator Thomas of Colorado, Democratic member of the Foreign Relations committee, predicted yesterday in the Senate that lat this critical hour in our diplomatic history" President Wilson would "acquit himself well before the nations and to the ulti- mate satisfaction of his countrymen."
 Disclaiming any intent to criticise or condemn Senators who have rec orded their disagreement with the Presidents outline of peace condi- tions, Senator Thomas said he be- lieved that those who felt otherwise should make public expression of their views, lest it be gathered from their silence that announcements hitherto recorded embody the com mon sentiment of the American sen ate"
 The Colorado senator deprecated action of critics in withholding their condemnation of some of the Presi- dents fourteen principles until after those principles had been accepted not only by the Allies, but by enemy countries as well, saying that this be- lated criticism may impair the prestige or detract from Americas in- fluence in the congress of nations" After quoting from letters and opinions by Alexander Hamilton, | Thomas Jefferson and others to show
 that the Presidents power in nego- tiating treaties is made supreme by the constitution. Senator Thomas dis | cussed the points in the President $ peace program which some Republi- can leaders in the Senate have urged
 should not be considered until after i the peace conference.
 | The senator endorsed the Presi- 1 dents demand for "the removal as fal
 as possible of econerate barriers"

DANzIC FOR WORLD AS OPEN PORT
Polish Premier Willing to Give Civic Rights to
 Jews.

Warsaw, Tuesday, Dec. 31-(By The Associated Press)-Andreas Mo- raczewski, the Polish premier, said today that he was in favor of the creation of an international port at Danzig. In outlining his program, he said;
 T desire to see Poland inhabited only by Poles. I do not favor giving special autonomy and schools to the Jews, but do believe in giving them their civic rights if they perform their civic duties"
 We have been robbed by both the departing Russians and Germans, tho latter trying to destroy our industries and our markets. The Allies should consider these difficulties. Territor- ially, we want what is ours ethno- graphically. We do not want what is German or Ukrainian, but think that Lithuania is ours in this sense" ders are taken. Thus any farmer in Connecticut who can now anticipate his needs for nitrate of soda should not wait until next spring but should promptly take this matter up with his county agent, learn who has been appointed distributor in his section and place his order now. As already stated the official price as announced from Washington is $S1 a ton f. O. b. shipping point and the price is the same to everybody.
