 We are threatened with another shortage, of coffee this time, and 1t appears that the reason back of this IS the same as that behind the sugar trouble. There was an over-production in Brazil last year. Enormous quan- titles of coffee were bought by Ameri- cans and stored. There were slight frosts in one state of that country this year which impaired the crop little, but a mighty little. Now the pretext has been seized upon and coffee is go- ing up because of 'poor crops" in Bra gil. The stored goods are not men, toned. They are somewhere, never theleSS.

DAYLIGHT SAVING AGAIN.

It appears that the Heralds editor- ial on Daylight Saving Saved" print ed a few nights ago was bit prema- ture in some Of it's statem ents. Day light Saving has not yet been entirely saved despite the defeat of the propo- sition to pass the Agricultural Bill with the Daylight Saving repeal as a rider over the Presidents veto. An other rider has been introduced and will probably be tackled on to the same 6 bill. It differs very little from the preceding one. The advantage gained is that a two-thirds vote will not be necessary to again pass it as would be the case of a vetoed bill.
 The plan is to be made the basis for another partisan fight. Republicans introducing the bill and the rider will not forsake either for party reasons, 1t is said. They will hold the agricul- tural appropriation, which is sorely needed, up until the whole thing is adopted. The President therefore must veto the appropriation again in order to kill the effect of the rider. It is not q, pleasant situation for the President of the Department of Agri- culture to be in, but that is what is desired by Congress-

A YEAR AGO TODAY.

soldierly hearts in New Britain beat at a little faster pace today, the first anniversary of the event at Cha teau Thierry and the first anniversary of the first trip lover the top' by the veterans of Co. I, National Guard company from this city. A year ago they were lice infested, mud covered infantrymen rushing for the opposing trenches with resolve to do or die, fighting the natural fear in their hearts.
 The stemming of the German hoard at Chateau Thierry was accomplished earlier by soldiers and marines of the First and Second Divisions but on this date in 1918 the Twenty-Sixth started the rout that was the final phase of the war. Company I in this city was among the first companies to go over in the preliminary rush before which the Germans fell back For seven days it occupied the trenches and ad- vanced to ones, vacated by the hard
 
 faithfully in support was Co. E, with others from the Twenty-sixth, ready to take it's turn in the front line when it's comrades were exhausted Twenty miles were the Germans pushed back in the rush that followed. The wall of human bodies> many of them from New Britain, advanced against the hot lead of the foe for that distance. It is an anniversary that will not soon be forgotten here.
 There were others from the city in the fighting, many others, but the two local companies have a special right to a place in our hearts upon this day. They represent the only body of troops that we sent out. Hence they compel the reverence that is the natural due of others also. If, in our efforts to bring tangible presentation of the scene before eyes which did not see 1t, we neglect others who were a part of organizations that partooz in the offensive, we regret it. They have the satisfaction of knowing that all honor is accorded upon them though we do search for a truly rep resentative New Britain gathering to receive the laurels.

THE RED REAPNG.

Fed are the hands of the Reapers And the harvest is so white! Red are the feet that are treading The threshing floors by night; And on the young broWs dripping, AS with the dews of morn, Deep rose-red arc the woundings Like scars of a crown of throns. Tired, so many, with reaping- Tired with treading the grain; Still they lie in their sleeping, Low in the Valley of Pain Never gain to be quaff1ns
 The joy of life. like wine; Never again to be laughing In Youths glad hour divine. Birds shall sing in the branches, Children dance by the shore; But they who shared the red reaplng Shall come back neVermore. Let who so can forget them. Walking life's noisy ways. We who havo looked on the Deapers Go quietly all our days.

A CORNER ON FOOD.

After stating that there was sugar shortage, that there was not, that there was reason for higher prices for the commodity and that there was not, the consensus of opinion seems to be settling down to the conclusion that the storing of the commodity some where along the route to the consumer is responsible for the fact that tho housekeeper has been restricted in her attempt to procure the product for her home. When all is said and done, there has been a shortage of sugar in the home. One has not been able to get it as freely as formerly. The can- ming season is here that is one reason for an increased demand. People are more willing to use plenty of it, that is another. These make for scarcity to some extent, but meanwhile we are told by officials that there is no short are. that there is more sugar available than has heretofore been true They are right, but there is a big weakness in their statements. Figures for pro- auction have been taken at the mills where the raw product is turned out. These show that there should be plenty for all. But the sugar is being sidetracked somewhere, it is not get ting to the consumer. We venture that the reason for it's being withheld
 from markets is the desire of com
 ri . thus get higher prices when the pro-
 duct is finally released. The grocery

Ships to Latin America.
(NcW York TimeS)

When Chairman Hurley told the delegates to the Pan American com mercial conference that the value Of the trade between the United States and Latin America in 1918 was S1,750.00 900 and, therefore, greater than the trade of Latin America with the rest of the world in that year., and in the next breath announced that the Shipping board had planned q vast improvement in the steamship service between this country and the countries of Latin Anlerica, it was notice to the exporters of the United States that they must give diliscnt

But she little resembles the original ship whose performance i'll the Spanish War endeared her tc Us. having been materially rebuilt ir order to keep her in the line with newer ships as long as possible for rnemory's sake. The Maine, 8 mag nificent vessel for her time, was au.i tborized when the war with Span was going on for the purpose of per- petuating the name of the tragic shit destroyed in Havana harbor. The. fleet should never be without 0 Maine on it's roll of f1rst-class fighting ships
 The 12 are said to represent ar. original investment of ninety millior' dollars but they have certainly earned a considerable part of the money in general service. They art quite unftted to join the super. dreadnoughts in the battle line. They antedate the period of the frsa dreadnoughts, and these were reles gated to the second line when the great war came on. Except for training purposes or, perhaps, harbof defense, a battleship that is out oi date as such is little serviceabie.

attention to the wants of their GUS toners in the Far South, or the great total of trade for 1918 will shrink to the dimensions of the pre-war period. And it follows, of course, that if our exporters do not wake up and show themselves energetic and accommo- dating, the expanded steamship serv- ice will shrink too Eternal vigilance will be the price of keeping most of the trade that American merchants won from their European rivals dur ing the great conflict. The British, the French, and, in the evolution of reconstruction, the Germans will bid for their old share of business with the Latin Am mericans and will get it if they offer better goods than our own people and make a living price with satisfactory terms of credit
 American bankers and merchants must cooperate with the Shipping board if it's Latin American fleet is to keep the seas. The European rival gave long credits, made goods to order, packed them securely, and sent out selling agents who could 1 speak Spanish and had friendly busi- ness manners. Too many of the , often adopted a take-it- or leave-it policy, insisted on short credits, packed in their own way, not in the way of their customers (they haven't learned to pack well yeti, and had little regard for the susceptibilities of the Latin Americans. The Bulletin of the Pan American union is still giving advice to salesmen going down
 
 elaborate article about samples, quality of goods, packing, and the preferences of Latin American cus- toners. The education of our cx- porters in these matters is a primer of which the edition is never ex- hausted
 Our bankers, too, need instruction and suggestion. The time for inclif- ference to the comm ercia1 opportuni- ties in Latin America is past. The United States wants the lions share of it's trade, must have that share 10 keep sales up and the new merchant marine employed. In regard to mak- ing loans, the United States is today ill an envia ble and unassailable posi- tion War has wasted the resources of Europe, and the United States has become the great creditor nation III the world. With ample shipping, it's manufacturers, exporters, and tinan- ciers should make a peaceful conquest of Latin America. It is well enough to cheer Chairman Hurley's good news that 226 ships, including many swift liners, have been allocated to Latin-'Am erican trade, but there is plenty of hard work ahead for our producers and exporters and credit men if the ships are to be kept run- ming to the West Indies. to the Spanish Main, and to the west and east coasts of South America
 MT. Hurley's announcement kin dies the imagination of those of us who have longed to visit South Amer ica, but could not give months of slow sailing and discomfort to the venture. To most Americans tho Southern Continent has been about as little. known Tibet. The prospect is now held out of ten days yovage to Brazil. We shall see the pano- ramic harbor of Rio de Janeiro. with It's sublime scenery, and soiourn a. week in that imposing city in the course Of an ordinary vacation.

LIQUOR IN THE CELLAR.


 The statement made by a saloon Keeper yesterday to the effect that here was half a million dollars worth bf intoxicants stored in local cellars to Hneip tide through the early stages, at least, of the drought appears to be Xprompted by sour grapes attitude. Doubtless there is, slowed away here abouts some liquor, beaucoup liquor, les the boys would say. The fact that the comparatively well-off man has been able to lay in a stock IS deplor- able--not for the man himself, but for &the others about the city who have tongue since the first day of July, A. ID. 1919. It is an unpleasant situation that has been brought about by the War Time Prohibition act, even for the foarder of the forbidden wet goods. We believe that measures should be taken for the suppression of ownership of liquor after the Pro- hfbition Amendment becomes effec- tive.
 There Is this, however, that may carry cheer to the one who wishes and i has not. It is the more readily illus frated by the story of the tourist who i talking to one of the old bearded fel- lows who lived up in the hills. Ad- uairation for the scenery was the pre- Iiminary topic of the conversation which ran something like this: Its a beautiful place, this, beautiful"
 Aye, 'tis, but it's a vurra, vurra, long way to drink, I must walk twenty miles for ma whuskey.''
 Well, why don't you buy keg of good stuff and keep it up here?"
 Mon, tried that once, but gude whuskey won't keep"
 The stuff in the cellars may not keep, if the owner does not entirely forget it, and the possessor of the goods may not long be the object of envy. He has merely postponed the drought which many of us would do If we were able.
 The right of search of a private home is something against which ev- cry American will rebel, whether he is 2 liquor owner or not. A mans house is his castle and violation of it is not easily accomplished, even by agents of the Department of Justice. It { would be a hard clause in thef anti booze law to stomach should the right of search be incorporated. Even the cause, would revolt.
 Can Congress pass a law which enforcement the privilege of entering any home on suspicion only? We doubt 1t. The public knows too well the indignities to which it will be sub- iecGed with such right in existence. Unscfupulous officers of the law are by no means non- existent Unwar- ranted usage of the right will doubt 1essly spring up.
 It is too bad that the man with but his living from day to day in his pocket cannot get his drink. It is too bad that some may have it while oth- CTS go dry. But the search of the home should not be allowed, despite the protection that it gives to some.
