1t remains mystery why the Brit.
ish Parliament thought no reserva
lions necessary when 1t passed the
peace treaty. Why this difference
between Parliament and the Senate!
Springfield Republican.
There is no reason why this mat
ter should remain mystery. Eng
land has nothing to lose by the treaty
without reservations and the United
States has much to lose by signing
without certain qualifications. If
we ratify the document as it stands
we allow our government to become
entangled in the intricate maze OF
European politics in which we have
no interest and should take no part
We abandon the Monroe doctrine
which is something far greater thar
q mere sentimental law. We put our
selves in a position where other ma.
tions, of which England is one, have
claim upon our resources and o0r
military activities. We renounce the
right to decide for ourselves when
our soldiers will fight again, if again
they must enter some conflict. All
this is England's gain and our loss.
That is why the British Parliament
willingly passes the peace treaty
without reservations. 1t is also the
reason why the United States should
not ratify the peace treaty without
reservations.

JUDGE GREENE COMPLIMENTS
 NEW CITIZENS

At the close of the naturalization sessions of the superior court held at Willimantic, Tuesday, and in Putnam, Wednesday, Judge Gardiner Greene took occasion to address the newly admitted citizens of the United States. In both instances he told them that they were the most intelligent lot of applicants for citizenship that it had been his pleasure to receive. He also told them that they had just become citizens of the most powerful coun- try on the face of the globe.
 Court Stenographer Lowndes A. Smith, an ex-newspaper man, took down the judges little talk and kind ly furnished notes to the press. The judge spoke as follows:
 "Gentlemen: You have been admit ted as citizens of the United States, and you should understand that you are gaining a great privilege, and as suming the serious responsibility of supporting and defending it's resolu- tions.
 "You are now taking the first step toward becoming electors and taking part in the government of this country.
 Male citizens, 21 years old, Of good character, able to read English, and having certain residence qualifi- cations, may become voters ,and take part in the government, which IS government by the people, that is by all citizens who have been made voters.
 "This government also exists for the people, that is, for the good of all citizens, and not for any class against the others. Anyone who attempts to create hostility between different classes, or to prevent the equal en- joyment of their rights by every class, is unfaithful to the principles of this government.
 For this reason, anarchists, Boi- I. w. W.'s and all others who are opposed to organized govern ment, or to the equal rights of citl- zens to make the best of their oppor- tunities and to be protected in the enjoyment of what they have gained, are unfit for citizenship, or for resi- dence in this country, and it will be a part of your duty as good citizens, to oppose all such persons, and thelr evil and undemocratic ideals"
 At the conclusion of the judges re- marks each one of the new citizens arose and heartily applauded.
 The following were admitted to cit- izenship, after having satisfied the of national and state of their fitness: William Booth, Plainfield; Jean Frigault, Wii- imantic; Adelard Savoie, Brookiyn' Alex LaBelle, Ballouville; Amadee Danielson; David Alexander gagnon.

The window was in purple and white with large Ameri- can flag, a K of c. shield, purple and white flowers and purple back ground. "K. of C." in electric lights made the window especially noticea- ble and attractive in the evening. The window was arranged by Frank Sher- lock. and received many compliments.
 The Peoples Store showed a flag draped picture of Columbus. Geo. E.. Shaw displayed the national colors. The Diamond store had K. of c. shield and the word Welcome" be- heath Charles Bove displayed Amer ican and Italian flags and pictures of Columbus and the landing of the dis coverer of America.
 A feature of the banquet was pre- sentation to Mir. Robbins of a silver case to carry an Elks' travelling card. He was told that the card would be recognized by any K. of c. club in the state, as many Knights are also Elks.
