Bernard F. Gaffney stated today that in his opinion the laborinE man had the right to strike, that being his privilege as an American citizen, but his efforts should be confined to law full means and not by the wiltul 'de- struction of property.
 George H. Dyson was vehement ir his denunciation of Governor Altgeld and said that he and men of his class should be impeached. He also be- lieved that decisive action on the part of the police and troops coupled with. d little judicious use of the Gatline gun. would have prevented all the trouble.
 T. H. Kchoc said that the success of the strikers was assured, in his opln- ion. Pullman by his graspinG methods had caused the whole strike. Debs. and his associates could not have started the strike if the union had not been a unit with them.
 Joseph Andrews states that the strike is affecting all business in the east If the Pullman Co., had settled their strike at the start all these sym pathetic strikes would never have oc- cured. aa

 Not all of this large total enlisted directly in the British army. Some went in by way of Canada and some even in the Australian service. The navy. too, invited enlistments.
 While the total is but small per cent. of the seven millions Great Brit ain threw into the great fight, total which would have meant in propor- ton for the United States an army of l6, 900, 0Q0, yet there is no denying that these crusaders, filled with the Amer ican spirit. and volunteering to fight for a great cause, were of immense inspiration to their comrades
 It would be interesting reading for Americans if some individual would write the story of these youths, who, without any call, other than the de- sire for adventure, or the feeling that a great crisis demanded sacrifice, went forth from comfort and future enjoy ments, to battle in the bloody trenches, for a flag which was not their own.
 1t is known that these men went to every British front, and that included no less than eleven fields, not to speak of the navys work

MciIen Reflections.
Bridgeport Post. )


 Writing to the New York. World former President Charles s. Mellen of the New Haven railroad makes some reflections on life and it's ob- jects, well worth a study
 Curiously enough, Mir. Mellen finds journalism the best profession to adopt if one is ambitious and wants political preferment. And despite the oft repeated refusal of many eminent editors. and others in newspaper work to be candidates for office, or even to accept appointm ments. there is reason to believe MT. Mellen is cor rect in this view.
 In reaching this conclusion Mr. Mellcn pays a tribute to the prof VI sion and modesty will not preyen. repetition here. He says, after the hONe observation about going into politics by way of journalism: In no other way can he exert so great an influence and do so much good to his fellowmen or deserve better of the community in which he lives"
 There is a large m easure of truth in MT. Mellen's conclusion, and few men are better qualified to testify to it than he whose hand guided the great New England railroad system, even if he did, through the machina- tions of many, finally land it on the rocks. Mir. Mellen never failed to keep in touch with public opinion through the press. He also knew how

 It is my purpose here to appeal to American liberalism, in the name Of English liberalism, not to desert the president. The struggle between the president and the premier (Clemen- ceau) is not over. It has only begun. The victory is not going to be decided by d score of men in Paris; it is go- ing to be decided by events, by the opera ;iOn of forces much greater than the will of this man or the cum ming of that, by the collective sense of the common people in all countries. That force is difficult to mobilize. If is inarticulate and unOrganized. It is slow to think and slow to act. It is tricked for a time, and is the easy vic tim of the charlatan, the adVenturer, and a squald press But in the end it thinks justly and acts with irresist- ible power. And it is this force of public opinion that will ultimately de- eide whether the treaty is to live or the covenant is to live, whether the world is to have the presidents new order or the premier's old order, whether humanity is 10 be organized for peace or for war.
 This is not the time 10 despair. This is the time for all the forces of good will in the world to make a phalanx about the president and to fight for the league of nations.

WARM WEATHER WISHES.

oh, I would dearly love to be X fish that sWimmeth in the sea; \ bird that flieth in the air And findeth cooling breezes there; \ walrus on a cake of ice That, too, methinks, were very nice. And yet, if l could have my wish, I doubt if I would be a fish, For be the weather what it may, Fish must drink water every day; - And I retract my former word That I should like to be a bird, For though it would be fine to fly, It would be work-and that is why: And though indeed it would be nice To sit upon a cake of ice, ' ct how much nicer it would be To have that cake of ice in me! So, like the bird, I'll seek the shade And there I'll have a cold drink
 made;
 And. like the fish, III soak it in Till it pervades my very skin, And in that drink shall clink and
 float
 IA chunk of ice to cool my throat And I shall be more ha ppy. far, Than bird and fish and walrus are!

lt is really astounding how large Is the size of the army of Americans who enlisted under the British flag before our entry into the war with Germany.
 The total has been variously esti- mated from twenty 10 forty thousand. But there are many who believe that when the final count is taken the total will come nearer one hundred thou sand.
 At this very time there are nearly twenty thousand men in Britain alone

A commission is to be appointed by the peace conference to consider the claims of Norway to Spitzbergen. That Arctic island had given little concern till the war; when Great Britain, hav- ing disposed of the German commer- cial interests there, though that it might be as well to annex the whole island with it's coal fields and poten- tial iron mines. But even no man s land may have it's claimants, and Nor way has plausible a case as any Springfield Republican.

THE VACATION HOUSE.

Several days ago the editor of the Herald was requested by authorities at the City Mission to raise, if we found # possible, the sum of two hundred dollars in order that what is known as the "Vacation House. now being conducted by the Mission might Aontinue in existence another month or so. Preliminary canvasses for funds and furniture, conducted in the churches principally, have re- where children and women from New Britain may spend quiet day or so in the country. Now, there is a dc sire that we use our resources for more money to carry on the work for one or two moro months. The Herald realizes that the pockets of the city have been severely taxed during the past few years, at the same time it is anxious to bring the matter before the public and do what it can toward aiding what it feels is a good cause.
 The Vacation House is simply farm house located on the road to Canton from Unionville near Cherry Park. There is considerable open country about it and it is located . between two brooks of clean, fresh kat1. The house has been rented

1T will be too bad if the American
people DO not learn a lesson from the
home life Of Roosevelt. It would be
unbecOming to try to lift up the man
and turn the eyes away from the home
life, but one may at least say this
there was the typical American home,
where there was ample comfort, but
where needless luXuries were taboo
and where love ruled over all things;
it was just the sort of home that
Americans would like to have foreign
ers see and such a home, the lack of
which, would cause the downfall of
any self-government.
Theodore Roosevelt had been a
sick man for the last three years. His
trip to South America told upon him
and for the last year he had been
failing fast. Although his death came
to him in his sleep, it was not a sur
prise to him, l opine. In his last let

his death, he spoke as a weary man.

"Above all things in his life stands

through his influence the American
soldiers were sent over in time to save
the world. If the troops had been

later TIMES we often talked together
about out-of-door life. Then came
the remarkable campaign of 1912 with
three parties in the field. / want to
tell you this one thing about that
campaign which has never before APP
peared in print, and it is a fact. Theo-
dore Roosevelt could have received
the nomination for president on the
republican ticket if he would let
others write the platform, and you
know what Roosevelt said to that.
Some of his friends tried to convince
him to accept and he answered:
"'Anyone can be president, but
when the principles are put before
the American people it makes diff

It was this complete simplicity that

of the men whom we know and We
think deep, while they are in reality
only muddy. You can never tell from
the looks of a mud puddle just how
deep it is, while the waters of a
crystal spring will always reveal the
depth. Roosevelt was lil1ened 10 the
crystal spring.
In his speech he never failed to
hit exactly the right word. He read
