terms and characterizations employed
in the editorial, your verdict must be
for the plaintiff for the amount Of
damage inflicted upon the PLAINTIFFS
reputation and feelings; and if you
find further that there was actual or
expressed malice behind the publica-
ton, you may then add to the amount
of actual damages such further sum
by way of added damages that your
Judgment dictates.
Things to Consider
'sYou are first to consider, Was this
editorial true? If it was, you need
consider nothing further, because the
truth is a complete defense, and your
verdict will be for the defendant, no
cause for action.
"If you find the editorial was un-
true and does not come within the
definition of fair comment, your YER
dict must be for the plaintiff.
"You will then consider the ques-
ton, Was it written with actual mall
ice? If it was, you may add to the
damages whatever sum may fairly
compensate for the injured feelings
of the plaintiff by reason of the fact
that the thing was maliciously done.
eff it was done without malice, al
though untrue, you win confine your
self to allowing the damages which
the plaintiff has sustained"

TH.AT WELCOME .ARCH.
viii Not Help Fill EMPTY Pockets,
Service Man Writes.

Editor New Britain Herald:
IT has come to my attention through
your paper Of a few evenings ago that
the city government proposes to APP
prOpriate $500 for the purpose of
erecting an arch Welcoming home the
returf7ed soldiers and sailors. 1t was
proposed that this sum be raised by
means of public entertainments.
l was released from the Naval Re-
serve two weeks ago. and I feel that
I can safely say that the boys who
are returning home after sacrificing
their positions, are coming homo
broke. In many cases they cannot
obtain employment to say nothing Of
their former positions. Many Of the
returned fellows are without posi-
tons. Now what good is 1t going to
do these boys to stand gazing at a
wooden arch with empty pockets?
These men do not expect to be
placed in ."status quo anti belfun'
for that would be impossible But
they will reasonably expect that our
city officials will aid them as far as
is possible. However. we find that
the most our governing body can con-
Germ itself. with service men, is to
decorate the green by erecting an
arch facing the city, ball, with the
funds to be raised by public enter
tainment.
1t is my belief that this body of
men would do q great deal more for
the boys by lending their signatures
to petition to the secretary of the
army and secretary Of the navy, re-
questing that they obtain the neces-
sary authority to pay the discharged
sailors and soldiers for q period Of
six months or some sufficient period,
and surely such action would be
more greatly appreciated by the boys,
than a thousand arches.
This campaign for extra pay for SOL
diers and sailors was commenced by
the New York American a short time
ago and already they have received
unWards of 100000 petitioners, ex-
Guiding those who sent their pc
titions to other papers which have
followed the action of the American.
BE il therefore requested that our
Governing body take action on thiG
matter not only endorsing it, but also
to urge every man and woman in
New Britain to lend his signature.
It NAV be further suggested that
the chamber of Commerce which is
COMPOSED of business men should
heartily endorse the movement for
extra nav for discharged soldiers and
sailors.
Respectfully,
A RELEASED SAILOR.

FINDS HER HUSBAND
DEAD; GAS JET OPEN
Mrs. I. Berman, of 81 Willow Street,
Makes Fateful Discovery of
Suicide.

I. Berman. of 81 Willow street, a
produce dealer, committed suicide at
his home early Yesterday morning
Dependency on account of business
troubles is attributed as the cause Of
the act Berman had been to New
York last week and it is said that two
deals involving the purchase of fruit
proved failures and this caused him
to be in a detected mood.
Saturday night about midnight,
Berman was in a Hartford avenue
store talking with friends and he ap-
peared to be all right at that time.
He arrived at his home a short time
later and raped on the door, which
was locked. His wife admitted him
and he refused an offer of food. AS
had been his custom, he went to Ills
room, which was occupied by his
three-year- old son, and he took the
boy from there to the room of his
mother He then took the tip from
gas jet and turned the asphyXiating
fluid on full force.
Mrs. Berman was awakened about
O'Clock yesterday morning, and,
smelling gas. she rushed to her l1us-
bands room, where she found him
asphyxiated. DIS, Mann, Kelly and
tcmpts to resuscitate the man failed.

JEWISH SOLDIERS BACK.

Many Of the local people will be
pleased to hear that several members
Of the Jewish contingent OF the Brit
ish army, which fought in Palestine
against the Turks in the last Holy
Land drive, have arrived at New York
city and await their discharge. There
are q few of the local young men of
the Jewish faith in this branch of the
service and may be included in the
party that has just landed. Among
the boys of this city that went with
this contingent was Ivan Robinowitz
son Of Mrs. e. Robinowitz. The fam
lily at the present time are living in
