of the taxpayers immediately realized the situation and notified their tenants that their rent would be increased, commencing June 1, two dollars more per month There was one man present at the meeting of rCntpaNerS who said his landlord had increased his rent one dollar per month and imm ediately afterWard he received a notice that his rent would be in creased four dollars more per month. He said that the landlord had told him that he had had his property for sale, but when people wishing to buy would ask him what interest they would receive on their money they told him the investme ent was too large for the interest they would receive. lt had been suggested at the meeting that a committee should he appointed that might take it up with the manu
 lecturers of the city 10 see if they could not do something 10 help the situation. But it seems to me, the only solution to the problem is for the rentpayer 10 take it upon himself to attend the meeting Of the rentpayerS to be held in SVea Social hall 20 Arch street, Thursday evening, June 12. at S:30 o'clock. II is reasonable to be- lieVe that if a. rentpayer has a little surplus of money he places il in the different institutions of the city and receives four per cent. on the dollar for the same. And some other cor poration goes in and borroWs the same money and is willing to pay six per cent. The corporation takes the money and invests it, which nets him
 30 pcr cent. Is it not possible that this organiza ton can incorporate and do a cash business and pay five per cent. on the dollar. which is one per cent. better than what we receive for our mite that we may have deposited This is not an experiment., because when the city of Chelsea, Mass. was ruined by fire, this is the method that
 was used. Every rentpaTer was sO- liclted to take as many shares as he could at ten dollars a share and could be understood that a man who took one share or more could not sell it in the course of a year and when he did he would have it caShed in to the or ganization to prevent anyone from getting a monopoly on the same So it bchooves every rentpayer to be present at the m eeting so that we can complete our plans and get our com mittce at work. Every suggestion will be greatly appreciated and will help to make bigger and better com
 munity in which to reside.

 The Cunard company alone during the war carried 100000 troops and 10000, 900 tons of cargo. Many of the vessels rendered service as armed cruisers.
 But the company did not contlne it's service to commerce. It's great repair shops were turned into she'll making plants. It turned out hun dreds of thousands of shells from 4.5 inches to eight inches It was also the first concern to employ women on this shcll-making and it's expert ment led to the larger employment of women ill munitions-naking in general.
 Another part of the Company's property was used for the manufac- turing of air craft. It's plant was pre- pared in October, 1917, and in June, 1918. the first completed airplane was turned out.
 The Cunard company went out of it's way 10 provide entertainment for some of the wounded men who re- turned to Britain to recover. including many Americans.
 As for the future, while the com rany is still engaged in war work, including the transportation of sol diers, it hopes soon to get back into the ways of peace It now has under course of construction nearly 100000 tons which will he ready for service in the course of a wear.

 We are not thoroughly in the con- fidence of the conferees but the modj- fication of the terms in rega ards to Siiesia and stated amount of repara- lions are the points at stake. Public sentiment in France and Britain is diverging and the representatives are both anxious to carry their points, thus backing up the respective de- mands from their native lands.
 Unrest throughout the world is the natural sequence of this state of af- fairs.

The British View.
Am eriCan1

 A Waterbury citizen has received personal letter from a British officer, one who was in America for a large part of the war and who knows Wa tcrhury well, in which the principal subject of discussion is the League of Nations. This officer, of course. is a professional fighting man and he come of an ancestry distinguished for it's services in the British Army. One would say. offhand, that his natural view would be the military view. the absolute impossiblity of settling se- rious questions without war.
 Nevertheless the whole burden of the officers letter is the expression, from many angles, of a hope and de- sire, that America strongly indorse the covenant formulated at Paris. This officers principal reason is that the world is tired of war. all nations en- gagged in it, and hence there could be no more prOpitious time for starting the great experiment than the present time The nations who have fought the war are ready to meet each other in q; spirit of friendly accommodation, going quite beyond ordinary limits, because of their hope--not by any means certain hopc--that the League of Nations will be able to linn 1t war. For the same reason, after the League has once been created. it will find a popular support impossible al any ordinary time. If this hope is disappointed now the chance for the same opportunity in generations will haNo been sacrificed.
 We believe the view of this Brit ish officer, speaking as he does as fighting man for his own country, of France. and America, IS an officer who was in it when the Germans were finally pushed back as one who did his bit with distinction, is one which reflects popular feeling in England, France and America. We believe that the opponents of the League of Ma tions, who are at present making such ority, and that wien the people ap- preciate that this league stands be tween the world and another even more brutal war, that hence if is an experiment worth trying, and that it's chance of success is far greater than if could be on any future time, the United States will be left in no doubt as to what is this Country's duty. If this is so the senate will ratifN the treaty and the covenant because to do otherwise would be to court political suicide.

A thought full father will not steal the coppers from his child's bank, but will content himself with taking tne dimes and nickels and tho quarter that Auat Jennie put in.
 If the contents of the babies baf1;s were turned into general circulation now it would help the government. It needs pennies to send to the banks, wllo send them to the shopkeepers, who pay them out in making change for the luxury tax. As long as a ten-' cent article costs eleven cents there will be demand for pennies. After the petty taxes are repealed the Qne- cent piece will return to comparative ly normal, if not innocuous desue- tude.

Tho Treaty Published.
(N eV- York TinnoS)

The text of the provisions of the peace treaty as now published com pletely vindicates the Paris council and all it's members against the charge that the summary of the treaty given to the world on May s was not a fair presentation of the structural terms and conditions of peace, inasmuch, it was declared, that the full text would bring sur priScs, would acQuaint the peoples of the nations with important Condi- tons of peace of which they had been left in ignorance That charge was bascless, the withdrawal of it. should now be made point of honor with those responsible for making it

mess men, to the very large class of
 persons in all countries who will have future commercial dealings with the
 Germans. Putting it briefly, it may
 be said that the summary set forth
 fully and accurately what has been
 won by the war, the fruits of the victory m changing tho position or
 Germany from one of menace to one
 of dependence upon the good will ot
 the Aliled and associated powers and
 upon her own future behavior; while
 the full text of the trcatN's provisions

 As an example of this, of great in

 we may take the provisions relating

 the new dyestuffs industry in this

Great as is the interest in the full text of the treaty, and important as if is that the comm CrCial details should be known as soon as possible 1 10 merchants. manufacturers, and inn portCrs, it is now possible to say that there has been absolutely no justification for the unsecnly scold- ing of the republican senators or for i the charges and insnuations that the council was withholding from the world vital conditions Of the peace.

For instance, those voting in favor were not confined to WisG2n- sin, Michigan, Ohio, Indiana, Iowa, and Illinois but repeal was supported also by Representative Parker of New York, Watson of Pennsylvania and Merritt of Connecticut.
