CARNEGIE WILL BE REMEMBERED
 FOR LIBRARIES

When Andrew Carnegie's trimuphs in the domination of Wall Street and the creation of vast new industries are forgotten, he will still be re- called as the man who gave the h- braries.
 Carnegie's benegactions in this line used to be made fun of by some people. They thought there was a flavor of self advertising in all this benefaction. It is so easy for peo- pie who themselves have done noth- ing for the world, to find flaws. in those who have done wonderful and amazing things.
 The fact that Carnegie may have liked to see his name connected with his philanthropies did not make his
 books any less useful to a. com munity. The poor boys that could
 walk in those free doors and have wide access to the wisdom of the
 the opportunity.
 It would be difficult to name any
 other one man who has accomplished
 more in this country by gifts of money. Consider the result that must be accomplished in each of the mul- titude of cities and towns where he gave his book collections. Young people have been stimulated to pre- pare themselves for better citizenship and service. Practical information regarding community life and pro- gress has been placed at the disposa of all interested in social service. A means of ennoDling recreation hal | been given the people, diverting then ! from coarser satisfactions. Schoo pupils have been helped to acquire { | broader knowledge.
 Hundreds of towns with these Ii | braries, which previously had no fre' | center for book distribution, can al | ready show the difference in thei | higher standards of citizenship. St | America will lay its reverent tribut | on the grave of this great benefactor | who did so much for the advance l ment of Democratic progress.

VIEWPOINT
Especial to The Times)

Newtown, Aug. 21-The Pootatuck Grange whist at Newtown Library on Tuesday evening was well attended and greatly enjoyed Thirteen tables were in use for the game. Winners
 of prizes were: Ladies', first, Mrs
 Wallace Mitchell; second, Miss Pearl Canfield. Gentlemen's, first, H. Carl
 ton HubbeIl; second, w. A. Canfield. Refreshments of punch and cake

 The third annual meeting with
 election of officers of the Newtown
 Equal Franchise League was held at
 Mrs Louise Gibson's home in Sandy
 Hook Wednesday afternoon. Mrs. L.,dia B. Glover, president holds over { until some definite plan for meetings is adopted. A new method of having
 number of presidents to hold office monthly or bi-monthly is being con sidered and a nominating committee appointed to arrange for election at next meeting. It is a good move
 as the responsibility will be divided. the results in comparison likely to be better, as each presiding president will naturally try to increase the in terest during her time of office, and the additional confidence each new officer will have gained by experience as presiding officer. It is in the line of education in citizenship and will be tried out in the Newtown league.
 Permanent secretary and treasurer were elected, who are Miss Robberts and Miss Anna May Betts respect l lively. Four or five visitors attended the meeting and a large number of members were present.
 The sad news was revealed Wednes- day that the good sisters of St. Roses convent have been recalled to the

 Roses and townspeople generally re-
 gret their departure.

WILL WELCOME GERMANS BACK
 FROM PRISONS
Men Held Captive by Allies Will Be Given $12.50 and
 Vacation.

Berlin, Aug. 21.-Germany is pre- pairing for the homecoming of thou sands of its prisoners. While their return will probably inflict on tSe labor market a new burden, Germany hasn't reckoned on that but is jubi- lant over the fact that they are to be released.
 Their return will be accomplished with customary German methodical rlans A complete reception machin- cry has already been organized. A number of stations for delivery in German territory have been built, and there the homecomers will be wei coned. From these delivery stations the prisoners will pass to transfer camps, where they will remain three or four days while they receive mili- tary discharges and are examined to ascertain whether they are in need of hospital attention.
 S12.5O to Every Man. Each man will receive S12.5O and an additional sum which will permit ] him to have an eight weeks vaca- | tion. From the transfer camps the men will be sent to stations nearest l their own homes. Provision has been
 made to give all tobacco, cigars and | cigarettes.
 As for their future the Govern
 ment has devised means whereby | temporary aid can be provided for | each prisoner if he cannot find work
 al once, but every effort will be made
 to assist the men to places in the in | dustrial structure.
 | Surplus Army Supplies. Generalization of what is left ot 1 the German army will release II ,000,-
 900 meters of cloth, to say nothing | of hundreds of thousands of pairs o.
 shoes. As a result the Government
 expects that there will be materia | decrease in the price of clothes anC | shoes
 It intends to distribute the clotf
 and shoes which had been stored LII
 against further prosecution of tn
 war at low prices to deserving fami
 lies. Rates will be made according
 to the size of the family.
 Out of the sordid annals of tn
 Berlin criminal courts has come tn
 story of a "Black Hand" persecution
 which had it's inception in the recen
 anti-Semitic agitation here.
 Karl Rietze, recently returned iron
 a Russian prison camp, was accuset
 of trying to extort, under threat O
 death several hundred thousant
 marks from two Jewish merchants Rietze told the court he was at loss to know why he had sent tn
 merchants Black Hand" letters de
 manding they must deliver packets o money at stipulated places or suffe the consequences. But he did plea : l that his mind had been affected b anti-Semitic propaganda. He ha read pogrom pamphlets and then ha gone to the place of publication where about twenty persons were con gregated.
 There tho suggestion was made tha the Jews should be oppressed just a , in Russia, and that money should b extorted from them wherewith t
 continue the propaganda work. Rietze said he supposed this SUE gestion had been the inspiration fo his own deed, for he at once SC about to send letters signed the "Se cret Alliance" to the merchant While they were warned not to hay anyone accompany them, they at ono ) called dn the police and had Rietz . apprehended when he came to receiv l the decoy packet of marks.

France Building Long Canal.


Notwithstanding the war, the largest
tunnel in the world is well under
course of construction in France, it's
object being to give Marseilles connec-
ton with Paris and the interior of the
country in general by rail and wa
ter. The canal will provide ample
waterway for barkes The entire prof.
ect involves the building of a new
harbor and the cutting of ship canal,
actually tunneled through solid rock
for five long miles, joining the old har-
Dor and the Mediterranean to the
River Rhone. The Rhone'S upper
stretches are placid, and already are
used extensively for barge navigation,
but near Marseilles the stream is far
too turbulent for commerce. A range
of hills had prevented the construc-
ton Of canal in days gone by. Now,
with France enersized by the war
and with the necessity for the canal
emphasized thereby, the tunnel is be-
ing cut and the canal will soon be
opened. The work was begun in 1911
IL, and has been continued through
the war. By this canal and links al
ready available, barges can be sent
from the Mediterranean to the English
channel.

The Bots de Boulogne (writes a spe

Guardian) is lovely scene. Besides
United States soldiers riding and
French soldiers walking, and members
of the Polish legion with their square,
fioppy caps, one sees there numbers of
chiIdren-French children, of course
but more than half of them had Eng
lish nurses, and were speaking Eng
fish to them. 1t is very noticeable,
this fashion for English-trained
nurses. The children's clothes are
modelled much more on the lines of
English children's clothes-bright-co
ored cloth coats and little beaver hats.
