The Bartcnders Respond.
(Waterbury Republican)


 PathoS and humor are to be found in the quick response of the Bartend- CTS union of Bost on to the need of the policemen for help The bartend- CTS have adopted a resolution con- demning the policy of Commissi oner Curtis, pledging moral and financial support to the policemen and saying that when "the call comes our answer will be ready for the protection of every American citizen.
 There is to be read between these simple lines a depth of fellow feeling on the part of the bartenders for the police. It is a feeling begot of grati- tude and a sense of common adversity. Shall the many times that certain po- lice have befriended them be forgot ten? Who is more indebted than the bartender? His job, too, is passing ity to wink and look the other way? And if gratitude be partly lively sense of favors yet to come, who stands more in need of such favors a the police can give in the future than the bartenders? These are parlous times for bartenders. A friend on the beat is no mean friend to have. When near beer verges too closely upon real beer, shall 10 a schooner out the side door have it's old persuasive ef- but show that their hearts are in the right place now.

WARS AND HIGH PRICES

Invariably, after wars or great nat ural caIamities, which affect many of the populace, there is an era of high prices, of practical famine conditions. When the producers become destroy ers when the working man turns into the fighter, when the present is given over to wasting toll and raw material in the costs of war, and the future is mortgaged in an effort to obtain more material to shoot away, there is to be no other result than that we must pay the bill. At present the people of the world are going through this period of paying, though we are told that the peak of prices has been reached and that we are to look for a decline, henceforth, in the general average of costs.
 After the Civil war there was a. period where prices reached even higher levels than we now have, when the discrepancy between the average income and the average expense was . we have reason to believe that the American public is acting with more restraint than heretofore and that if it continues to do so there is absolute- ly nothing to fear from a greater in- crease in the cost of living.
 The Department of Labor. Bureau of Statistics has issued a statement with a set of figures that go to prove that we are now on the downward trend. Measured from December 1914, to December, 1915, fCod prices increased a total of 1872. From December, 1914, to June, 1919 they increased 73.7Z per cent The same period of time is included in the lat

stacles to an immediate peace to-
day said there were many reasons
why the treaty could not be signed
at once. even though the League of
Nations project. was out of the way.
Many issues that would form the
basis of peace he said, was being
carefully studied. Among them is
the disposition of many of the frag-
ments into which the former Aus
trian empire has been divided, and
another is the treatment to be ac-
corded Bulgaria.
French Scent Danger
The French people, he added,
want peace, but they realize the
danger of precipitate and unsatis-
factory solutions. He agreed with
Premier Borden that there should
be no unnecessary delay, but did not
share his opinion that time had
been wasted at the conference. A
full discussion of all questions must
be permitted so that settlements
which might. be decided upon would
be unanimous. NJ. Pichon said there
was no obstacle to recognition being
extended the new German govern
ment, but added that the Germans
must be made to realize that they
have been beaten-a fact, he said,
of which great numbers of them do
not seem to be aware. The new
boundaries of Germany, he remark
cd, will be up for consideration with
in few days.
