wolves. There are many families in New Britain who cannot forget their lack of an adequate home, at rea- sonab.o price, because they have none. but the greater number of us are willing to let the matter stand with the protests that were registered month or so ago. Because there have been steps taken to remedysthe difficulty, because an association for the loaning of money at reasonable rates has been formed. and because there are other things to distract us we have ignored one of the greatest needs of the town today,
 The average individual here might not take it upon himself to worry. He has a. comfortable home, although he may be paying little higher rent than he deems necessary, and is get ting along as we'll as can be expected What more do l vant?" he will say.
 We presume that he wishes nothing more now. Then the question arises when is he going to want something and what will he desire. Providing that the man does not now own his time is coming when he will want a rent, or place of his own, to live ln Sales of real estate are as great in volume as they were some time a nCrn h1,iJ
 but not enough. There have been a large number thrown out of their homes by the sale of the property over their heads, There have been still more saddled with a constantly increasing scale of rents through cupidity of landlords or transfer of properties. There are a lot of people in the city today to whom a similar thing may happen tomorrow and who are not looking forward enough to com bat it.
 We wish to emphasize the need of building, now, before the trouble be- comes worse. There is room for many tenements in New Britain. there Will be large burden removed from the shoulders of the city if it's citi- zens build if they are able There was never better opportunity to obtain the money for building pur- poses despite the fact that labor is high, and yet, there is a tendency to ignore the essentials and the truth of the above statements
 Build Now" is a favOrite motto everywhere, as we'll as here There will be no glut of the rent market if two hundred tenements are erect ed here. Have you any money and any prospect of losing your present hOme?. If so take heed

.A Dance Pavilion.

To the Editor of The Herald:
 Tn a recent issue of your paper a plea was made for a dancing pavilion on Walnut Hill park that would be fairly permanent. It was suggested that members of the park commission would object to this plan. Would it not be a good idea for these commits soners to visit Colt park in Hartford some evening and see upward of 1,5Oo people dancing and equally as many spectators. Hartford gives this en- tertainm ent four nights week at 10 cents a head. One night it is free. It is not losing proposition The structure has paid for itself many times over. What is New Britain do- ing for it's young folks?
 Sincerely,

FIGHTING X GERMAN-AUSTRIA
 UNION.

Threatening to occupy further ter
 ritory of the Rhineland unless Ger
 many defeated that part of her new
 ly formed constitution which pro-
 Vldes for Austrian representation in
 her official parliamentary bodies, the
 Allied representatives at the Peace
 conference have stated what their
 opinion of the impending political
 alliance, between the two principal
 enemy powers in the World War. is
 and what they are going to do about
 it. Candid, willing, obliging, Hunland
 has replied to the 'ultimatum. Aus
 tria wished that a delegate from her
 country be allowed to sit in the Ger poor Boche do but agree? That ought
 to be plain enough to the council. Austria wished to become a part of political Germany, why not?
 There is another proof of Hun strategy, of infantile assump ption of
 innocence of wrong-doing. But what
 III creation prompts the enemy to throw us such sop after the indiges- ton that four years of it has brought to us. 1t seems that the Teutonic mind will never learn the essence of the psychology about which it pro- fesses to be so highly informed. It. makes little difference to the Allies whether Austria wishes representation III Germany or not. They do not
 care who formed the plan which will
 undeniably lead to a later, more com- plete, union between the countries Whether Germany acted on Austria S wishes or whether she prompted A,.s- 1 tria is of little occasion 10 the Allies | They will occupy, and hold. more of | the Huns possessions if she proceeds 1 to thwart their wishes. Does it make { any difference to them from whence l comes the desire to thwart?
 1 The note from the Allies, was for warded September 2 and gave to Ger 1 many fifteen days to defeat the ad- mission of Austria to the Reicbstag z. 1 An e3LenSlOn or the occupation on the | right bank of the Rhine will pro- ] ceed, according to the note, at once l unless the demand is favora bly acted | upon.

 The whole west plain of Thessaly lay at our feet, and the white moun- tains of the Pindos range rose rugged and imposing before us.

Down came the cable until it touched the earth at our feet, and the fish net proved to be a large sized rope bag, which opened and spread out fiat on the ground.
 "One at a time we were invited to step into the middle of this net and squat, urk-fa3hion. The edges werc gathered together onto a large iron hook, a shout was given, and the net scared upward, while it's occupant felt somewhat like an orange at the bot tom Of q market woman s bag.

of entering Annapolis. The law pro-
sides 100 appointments year, and only
thirty per cent. OF these appointments
have been filled. This is due to lack
OF suitable material, and the absence
OF system for aiding those boys who
are qualified. II 1t is due TO the lat
ter cause. the department is going TO
remedy the defect. The two year law
will fill up the vacancies in short or

that even II he does not succeed In

ladder, instead of through the ap-
pointing system from civil life now in

cruise will make 1t easy to fill up the

When this is accomplished, there uu-
doubtedly will be more appointments
