SUPPORT FOR HOSPITAL.

Unsehish interest in the city's wei fare has been shown by large num- Der of leading men and women during the past year, as revealed by the names of contributors toward the malnte- nance of the New Britain General Hospital. Tn many instances the don prs are wide-awakc manufacturers whose business instincts, if not thclr personal generosity, make them real lze what an asset such an institution Is. Others who assisted in this humane work are persons of means who feel keenly the debt they owe to their less fortunate fellow men.
 To care for the sick and ease the pains of the suffering is one of the most solemn obligations imposed on the human race. In the discharge Of this duty New Britain has not been found wanting. ,

DESERVE PUBLIC THANKS.

Popular support of the New Brit ain Choral Society indicated by the demand for seats for tonight's annual spring concert is a compliment to the city as well as encouraging to those who have made the affair possible. The. average man or woman engaged in the daily grind for bread has little time to devote to music, one of the most elevating and restful of the arts, and it is a tribute of no small signifi- canoe when there is such a demand for tickets as there has been for to- nights event.
 A city's artistic plano may be gaugcd by just such an incident. Music is becoming more and more a part of American life. For young l.ation we have contributed generous ly to the art and what We have lacked in that respect we have made up for by showing our appreciation of vocal- .ists and musicians from foreign lands. Those in charge of the New Britain Choral Society arc to be consratulat- cd on their success in furnishing high class talent to New Britain, which is growing in importance on the concert map and which is keeping step with other communities in the desire to of- fer superior programs. The young women and men of the local chorus are also to be congratulated for their devotion to their part in the concert and for their efforts td give New Brit ain the best that is in them.

INSPECTION OF FOODS.

Out of the wealth of detail con- partment of Health few items are of more interest than that concerning the inspection of foods, which has di- rect bearing on the health of the city. systematic overseeing of foods was instituted within recent years and was pushed under discoura Ging circum- stances by pr. T. E. Rocks, the father of the present health department. The innovation was not welcomed in the early stages by those affected but Dr. Reeks persisted and the thoughtful merchant now welcomes the inspec- tor.
 During the past year there were 4,20S inspections and reinspcctions of stores a fact that illuStrates the methodical survey of the departm ent. The agents Of the health department condemned and destroyed 1,194 pounds of meat and fish they consid- cred unfit for human consum ption and also ordered 13S other articles ot food thrown away Special attention was given to meat boxes in butcher stores, 2,S96 being scrutinzcd and fifty being ordered cleaned. In addi- ton to the foregoing, the proprietors of 12S stores were ordered to clean up their establishments.
 Wholesome food is of vital import ance to every individual in the city. I.axitN on the part of public officials would be a menace far reaching in it's scope. 1t affords a sense of security to know that the Department of Health is vigorously protecting the family table from the interruptions 1 merchant, who, fortunately for New Britain, is in the minority.

Allies Stronger as Germans
 Threaten aud Rail
(By The Associated Press).

Several additional notes from the German peace delegation a Versailles now are before the Allied powers for consideration. Three such notes were delivered to tho council of four this morning and shortly after noon in Paris it was announced the council had appointed a sub committee of five members from each of the five great powers. to deal with the Ger man proposals.
 The council also had under con- sideratiOn tho subject of ports and waterways and various details of the Austrian peace treaty now being framed.
 Italy, it appears, is not insisting upon France and Great Britain carry ing out all the terms of the Treaty of London, under which she was to receive extensive territories on the eastern shore of the Adriatic in the settlement of war claims.
 This apparent willingness 10 make concessions in the negotiations look ing to an agreement on the Plume and Dalmatian controversies is con sidered according to advices from Paris as indicating progress toward an understanding among the council of four.
 The subject of the German ships both mercantile and naval, is again being pressed upon the amendmcnt of the peacemakers. It seems that PO- land is claiming some of the warships which Germany surrendered, having presented her case in this respect to the council of foreign ministers.
 Today's Paris advices also report renewed efforts by the British dele gation to secure the pooling of for mcr German merchant vessels. It is sought to have been distributed in ac- cordance with tonnage losses by the various nations during the war. This would throw the ships interncd Tn the United States prior to America $ entry into the war into the pool ln- stead of their all being retained by this country.
 The leading figures of the Austrian delegation arc expected to arrive at St Germain en-Laye near Paris to- night In a statement before leaving Vienna, Karl Renner, Austrian chancellor and chief of the delesa- tion said he would do his best to get as good terms as possible but that vanoushed people could expect put l little.

THE NEGRO QUESTION.

gro defend the Constitutional and legal rights now denied moro than four-fifths of the Negro race in Amer ica,'' is the object of a campaign com menced by the National Association of COlorCd People in convention in New York. The Negroes accept with B grain of salt the white mans prin- ciplc that all men are born equal and should continue to be equal in the eyes of the law and society.
 Since the Civil war liberated the colorcd slaves in the Southern states, the Negro problem has been growing more acute. As Rev. Father Bustin said in St. Mary's church last Sunday, the nation gave the Negroes their freedom and nothing more. The work of educating the black man has been left to religious officials and to philanthropjsts. He has been ostra- cized socially, more so in this country than any other In the face of such overwhelming race prejudice it is not surprising that he has not advanced. The Negro is an optimistic being: otherwise life would be unbeara ble. But the New York convention evident iy believes that the time for optimism has passed and it has adopted the fol- lowing prOgram:
 vote for every Negro man and woman on the same terms as white men and women.
 An equal chance to acquire the kind of an education that will en- able the Negro everywhere wisely to use this vote.
 A fair trial in the courts for all crimes of which he is accused by judges in whose election he has participated without discrimina- ton because of race.
 A right to sit upon the jury which passes judgment upon him.
 Defense against lynching and burning at the hands of mobs.
 Equal service on railroad and other public carriers including sleeping, dining and Pullman cars.
 Equal right to use of public parks, libraries and other com munity services for which he is ., taxed.
 An equal chance for liveli- hood in public and private em-
 ployment.
 In many parts of Europe the Negro enjoys equality in society and there have been occasions where he has
