BRICK OUTPUT IS | BUT HALF NORMAL
Price of This Building Material \ Mill Go Up

The brick situation in New Britain ing phases. The brick production here will be about one-half the no.> mai output, and because of large de- mands the prices will soar high this Iall. The price of brick at the pres ent time is $16 per 1000 which is hlsher than in peace times, but is not as high as prices have been. It is re- ported by the manufacturers that prices may be expected to be much higher in a short time
 The brick manufacturing business IS very good" said Frank Ii. Holmes or the Holmes Brick Company. "There has been a noticeable increase in the aemand in the past week or two. Springfield is striking building boom and Hartford and Bristol have been experiencing a boom for some time. In New Britain the demands have not as yet been as great as might be ex- pected. The Corbin and Fafnir fac tories and school buildings projected are the only big jobs in the city. The total amount of brick in these jobs will probably amount to 6,000,00O. New Haven has a big factory recon struction and in the mill towns of Pawtucket, Fall River and Providence there are signs of big business. The brick production of 100, OOO,OOO which may be obtained this year may not meet all the requirements. Ordinarily the seasons output of manufacturers in this vicinity would be 100000, 900. The brickyard workers are receiving higher wages than at any time in his 4o. J ,.yiJ1 pay the advanced price. Every ef- fort is being made to procure a big production
 It has been a subject of comment that the price of brick has not in- creased as has the cost of other build ing materials. manufacturer who
 makes 8 deep study of the situation
 makes observations on the general
 situation. Big building projects
 which will not require bank loans will
 continue, but I am afraid that the
 small property owner may be 'nipped'
 in projected building," said the brick
 maker. Bankers with whom I have
 talked are somewhat skeptical, despite
 the great demand that there is for
 tenement house construction. They
 will hesitate to make loans on 50 per
 cent, valuations, when before the
 building is completed a loan of 90
 per cent. of the original estimate will
 be required, all due to the advance of
 materials. Building operations for
 municipalities and the state will not
 be affected in that way. On the
 whole the business outlook is good"

 which was destroyed by a fire several

AMERICAN LEGION,
 LEGION OF HONOR
Captain Fee Wants Citizens to
 Help Service Men

Captain Harry J. Fee, representing of war, is in town in the interest of ex- soldiers who may be seeking employ ment. Thus far, Captain Fee has found local conditions quite satisfac- tory Commenting upon the soldier problem, Captain Fee says:
 "While the American Legion is be- ing formed into great democratic body by the soldiers, sailors and ma the men who used to employ them when they were plain citizens are also organizing what is known as the Le- zion of Honor.
 ''These employers couldn't go and fight themselves, but they emptied their offices. stores and factories of their best employees, so that the war might be speeded up and won glori- ously. While the youngsters were away, these employers strained every nerve to keep up their standards of eff ficiency with the aid of women work
 
 on their own part. And now, as the young fighters are coming back, they are finishing the job gallantly by opening the doors to the old jobs, oft cn with increased pay, always With a hand clasp and q welcome home that is the real thing.
 Tt is not always easy for business organizations to do this. Increased cost If opcoations and the rather slug gish conditions of commerce just al present are a serious drain on the books. But the Legion of Honor knows no compromise and whether the firm suffers or not, soldiers must not, and every one who comes back to the old stand is received cordially.

To Submit Kaiser Trial Plan.

~
10 SUNNI
Mr.. Lansing was questioned about the
agreement under which the islands of
the Pacific were to 20 to Great Britain,
but he knew little about It. He was
asked about the plans to try the Kaiser
and said he would submit the report OF
the commission on responsibilities and
the reservations made by the American
delegates.
Next the committee turned to the
seven treaties of peace, being particu-
larly interested in why the United States
should sign the treaties with Turkey and
Bulgaria with whom America was not
at war. Mr.. Lansing said this was be-
cause the President wanted to take part
| in the negotiations with those countries
and II was necessary to sign the treaty
to do so.
Then Senator Moses asked Mr.. Ian
sing IL the Senate was TO get the minutes
| of the deliberations of the various COM
missions. which he said are Of prime I'M
portance in studying the treaty. Mr.
| Lansing was doubtful Of the propriety Of
| doing this unless the other Governments
gave their consent. This oolloquy fol-
| lowed:
Senator Moses: But this IL the day of
open covenants, openly arrived at" Mr.
Lansing.

Washington and other famous Ameri-

to the surrender, Lafayette, with
small force, had initiated the rout of

Washington warmly thanked and COM

troops, after the great surrender which

They understood Americans. Equality
was the particular American trait
which impressed them most, and this
idea was imported by them from
America into France.
Rochambeau placed himself and his
army under the command Of Washing

had the right of the line. In case of
equality of rank, the American officer
always took command. Not so much
as cabbage was taken without pay
ment. Before Yorktown the Ameri-

knowledged the service of the French
engineers. The French fleet closed the

out that French help we tremble to
think what might have happened.
Fired Lafayette's Ardor.
Toward the close of the year 1776,
the duke of Cumberland. who was the
brother of King George III of England,
was travelling in France, and one day
he arrived at the town of Metz, then a
French possession. A certain count De
Broglie, a veteran Of many battles,
was in command of the garrison, and,
to do honor to his distinguished visitor,
he invited some of his officers to meet
him at dinner. Now it happened that
the duke of Cumberland was in dis
favor with his royal brother-he was,
in fact, in Punishment. He had lately
received news that certain of his
majesty's colonies In America had re
belled and declared themselves free,
declining to be subject any longer to
tyrannical king. 1t would seem that
the duke of Cumberland told the story
with some gusto, as If he were not al
together sorry that his brother was in
trouble. One officer listened with par
ticular attention. He was youth of
nineteen, tall and thin, with long
nose and reddish hair. His solemn ex-
preston and his somewhat awkward
manner contrasted strongly with the
frivolous ease and grace of the other
young officers present. He was a mar
quis of long descent, connected by
marriage with one Of the greatest
families in France, and he had at his
own disposition a very large income.
He listened intently, he asked many
eager questions, and when he rose
from the table he had made moment
GUS and historic resolution. He had
resolved to abandon the pleasures and
luxuries of the gayest court in the
world, even to leave his young wife
and child, and to cast in his lot with
these strange rebels in America. In
his own words, "When first heard of
American independence, my heart was
enlisted !" That young man was La
fayette; and when the American army
went to the front in France, it merely
paid small part of the debt of graft
tude we owe that splendid young Of
ficer-that true nobleman.
