4 VERSE Il DAY.
THE PERIL OF PEACE.

TT is good say, to slip once
Back to homey, comfortable ways
Back to the dear monotony of days
Each like the one before
The world was worn with war and CHASTITY fears
With shock succeeding shock, with dread dread;
We had not known how kind to u.s. said
Had been the old, slow years
0 blessed Enthusiastically commonplace
Of common tasks of ready laugh and jest
OF freside comradeship! We had not guessed
These had such holy grace.
And to go back-at to put away
The sickenng horrors from sight and lives
And find the old sweet LONELINESS survives
1t is good, say.
But, shall not be wary, lest perchance
In easy thankfulness should forget
The hell-hot flame that burns in Russia yet,
The new-made graves in France

GERMAN DELEGATES
 CONSIDERING NOTE
Peace Councils Final Word Relative
 to Signing of Protocol Is Under Scrutiny.

Paris, Dec. .-GCrmanN.S delCGa- lion at Versailles is considering what is looked upon as the last word of ference relative to the signing of the protocol of the treaty of peace.
 Elimination of the clause providing for coercion by the Allies in case of GermanyS failure to execute the trcaty's prOViiOnS and alteration of the claim for indemnity for German war ships sunk at Scapa Flow arc the most important concessions made by the council. Economic effects of the turn ing over 10 the Allies of German dock and harbor machinery by way of in demnity will be the subject of an ir- quiry to be conducted by the rcpara- tions commission. At the salnc time, however, the council places on Ger many responsibility for sinking of Ad- miral von Reuters interncd feet
 German demands for modification of the treaty clauses calling for sur render of Germans charged with NiO- lations of the laws of warfare. as well IS those dealing with the repatria tion of prisoners of war, are rejected. The status of ,.Americ in relation to the treaty is held not to alter the eff fectiyeness of the pact, and German objections along this line are described as "pretended rights. Germany is told it is ''Vain to seek to delay' the operation of the treaty and that the Allies await the signature of the prot ocoI without further loss of time

An unsolicited testimonial for the purity of New Britains water supply has been received at the office of the board of water comm iSsiOners from Walter J. kenney, son of Mr. and Mrs. Martin kenneN of Clark street and a student at Rensselaer, college. MT. kenney was in the city at the time the matter of chlorina ating the water supply was preached and the matter given considerable publicity. As he is a student in chemistry, he decided to make a, practical test by taking a bot tie of the water back to school to an alNze, and the results of his test arc gratifying to the water board.
 In his letter regarding the tests, Mr. kcnney says the water is abso- lutely all right. He finds 15 bacteria per cubic foot and no bacilli coli. Professor Mason, with whom he made the tests, commented upon the purity of the water and said he only wished that every municipality could boast as good a grade of water, MT. kenney writes.
