memory of MT. Roosevelt is heid rests, the readiness to meet all questions candidly.
 Believing as he does, that the eov- enant "eotlld never, have been con-
 gtructed. by intelligent people except i'll 8 time when everybody was suf-
 fering from shell shock and tysteria," |"
 and that when the people Of this country recover their equilibrium they
 will rejoice that they did not enter
 this alliance" what other attitude
 was there for him to take except the one he has taken? He could take no other if he Is an honest. man.. It Is ircorceivable that he should be denied tint credit even by those who have
 nothing in common with him. It is
 incouceivable. further that he should treat otherwise than with polite con- tempt those who can read. Into the conduct a vulgar partisan motive. There are no. additional honors which
 Senator Brandegee can hope to enjoy. He has risen as near the top as it Is fpossihle for him to go. All that re- mains, therefore, is his continuation in the office he holds. That the pro- Iongation Of that honor should be considered enticing~ enough to lead him to destroy at1 honorable record in i the service of his state and his coun- try, TO to make him indifferent to it, is too preposterous to entertain for 3 moment He admits that he can find nothing in the personality of the pres l ident to admire and much to resent yet he states his readiness to follow 1 li-n when he leads In the right direc- 1 ton. Nor need this .. statement be taken at it's face value. The record l of the senate shows that ali during the prosecution of the war Senator tBrandegea loyalty supported the lead ersfiip Of the president. All this is otIered in these columns, not in the
 form of a brief for a man with whom,
 we have been rarely in political sym pathy, but in behalf of a man who has the courage Of his convictions.

WORK DIRECT IN
 ARMY HOSPITALS
Merits of Free Vocational Education Placed Before Disabled Men
 Prior to Discharge

Washington, May 12.-Agents of the Federal Board for vocational education are now at work in Fran,e and the merits of the free voca- uonal education provided by the gov ernment for disabled men are placed oelofe the men before they leave the hospital In this way it is possible to do great deal of preliminary work, get the compensation for the man arranged with the Bureau of war Risk Insurance, and have everv- thlng Tn readiness for him to sta rt upon his course of education as soon as he is discharged from the hospital.
 There is an additional benefit in that While the men are convalescing 1t is possible in many instances to put them at certain phases of training in the curative workships attached to the hospital or the reconstruction hospital, which work leads directly up to and fits in with the trainino which they will take later at the hands of the Federal Board for Vo cational Education. In this way much time is saved and better results are obtained than when the men are brought back from civil life where they have been attempting to ''car1,y on' despite their disa bilities.
 Some weeks ago the policy of dis charging disabled men before the Federal Board could get in touch with them was abandoned. It costs the government something less than $o each to get in touch with the men in the hospitals prepare his papers, make out his war risk claims. have him vocationally scrutinized, and the like. It costs the people of the United States something over S100 each to do the same things when the authorities are compelled to search the man out and hunt him uD at his home after he has left the service.

FIFTEEN MILLION
 INDIVIDUAL BUYERS
Estimates Show Victory Loan Was Not Quite as Widely Distributed
 as Last Two.

Washington, May 12.-Fifteen mill lion Americans bought Victory Lib erty loan notes in the campaign which closed Saturday night according to estimates received by the treasury from federal reserve banks. This compares with about 21,000,000 pur- chasers in the fourth loan, 10000 900 in the third, 9,4O0,000 in the second and 100000 in the first
 A few additional reports of the scrlptions came in yesterday, but no attempt was made to tabulate them, and the treasury announced that the of11clal total probably would not be known until the 26th. The total as compiled still stood at $3,849,000, ,000 ptu late reports empha sized the earlier indications that the loan had been heavily oversubscribed.
 Banks will have until the goth to report their subscriptions to federal reserve banks, and the federal reserve banks will report to the treasury by the z4th. Reports from all districts lholcate that in practically the entire country the quota was taken without material assistance from the banks said treasury announcement.

Against the "RedS." (PrOVid denCe ,JOurnal.) )

There was an Illuminating incident, or rather series of incidents, in New York city on Thursday, in which the disorde erly anarchistic element was vigorously attacked by a large body of soldiers, sailors and marines. The a. tack took on such Vehemence that the services of the city police had to be invoked The wearers of Uncle Sam $ uniform were compelled to desist from their parade in formation through the city streets, and were told, in effect, that it is the business of the police to keep order.
 The position taken by the police department is logical, and from the legal point of view the restraint to which the service men were subjected cannot be criticized. Nevertheless, the spirit shown by these recent fighters against Germany is not displeasing to loyal Americans.
 Every honest American can ind satisfaction in the open hostility Of the soldiers and sailors to the red flag and all that it represents. Thus far there has been nothing to indicate that the men of the army and navy have the slightest sympathy with the socialists and the bolsheViki; they are a ready to fight the foes of the coun- try at home as they were in Belgium or France. They can be depended upon to defend American institutions Wherever they are. If the socialists and anarchists have any wisdom they will not invite the wrath of these men who have lately had such splendid military training, and are prepared to put it to use. Their demonstration m New York against the BOlsheVlst agl- tatOrs, it may be added, should help to arouse federal state and local ot1l- cials to a full realizato of the fact that there is danger in further tolera- tion of the red flag and the criminals who march behind it.

PLANS DRAWN UP
 FOR CAMP SCHOOL
Addition to Present Building Will Cost Sf6O. OO0-Statc to Bear
 Half of Cost.

Providing the finance and taxation board appropriates s3O,0O0 more toward the erection of an addition to the Camp school the construction will soon be started. Plans for the new building have already been drawn up by Davis x Brooks and have been approved by the state.
 The cost of the building will be S160000 Of this amount the state appropriates $S0,000 and the city has to give a like amount New Britain has already appropriated s5O,0OO but due to the high cost of building ma terials an additional $30,000 is now required.
 The new building will contain a large gymnasium, six recitation rooms and two other spacious rooms, where it will be possible to teach domestic science and manual training. The gymnasium will be used by the chii- dren of the Bartlett school as well as those of the Camp school.
 Though the building will be owned by the state it will always be used for instructing local children. In case the State Normal school is with drawn from this city, the buildings will still be utilized for teaching pur- poses.

SOLDIER ACTORS
 ALWAYS ON DUTY
Four Thousand Shows in Ono Month Is Record of Entertainers With
 Army Across Rhine.

CoDlenz (By Mail, il,)-ApproNimately a reeiment of soldiers--3, 61S-were trained, costumed and prepared by the Y. M. C. A. entertainment department for the presentation of 4,000 shows among the doughhoyS of the Third Army in the Rhin eland during March.
 These doughhoy amateurs were di- |vided into 134 show units and played a81 houses on the Red Triangle cir cult. In addition, there were 1000 shows presented by Y. M. C. A. pro- fessional talent playing the same route. These 5000 performances were presented to 2,50O,00O men, making an average Of 10 shows seen each month by each of the 250,000 men in the Third Army.
 The entertainment of the soldier shows, which were trained and equipped by the Y. M c. A., consists principally of minstrel and short plays and they are almost up to a profess slonal standard. Any lack of finesse that does exist is more than made up by the appreciation of the spectators, who value very highly the efforts of their "buddies' to create entertain ment for them.

(Now we must venture upon un- charted seas.-President Wilson on the League Of Nations, in a speech at Paris.) o Captain of the Ship of state, The night is dark and storms i'm
 pend: Dark lower angry clouds of Fate That over all the world extend And in new tempest may descend! The petrels OCT the darkening ueep, Dread harbingers that storm DOT
 tend, Around that ship their vigils keep As OCT the waves on level wings they
 sweep! o Captain, you have wrought for And sought in friendships bonds to
 bind All nations, that grim war may cease! But harder grows the task, you
 find,
 For hate is rife midst humankind And lost seem honor, faith and trust, And passions now the whole world
 blind! To Him we turn whose balance just Alike weighs nations, stars and cos-
 mic dust. Deep hidden in the Book of Fate The destiny of nations lies, Whate'er it's wealth or station Great, No nation lives that falsifies His Law of Right, and still denies The Sovereign Hand that rules the
 world
 And guides the stars in midnight
 skies, And sooh or late it's flag is furled, And down to darkness is it's power
 hurled! Now OCT uncharted seas it's course A vessel great prepares to sail: The skies are dark and waves break
 hoarse,
 Low, moaning winds swell to a

 To reach it's port that ship may fail. May that gale turn to favorlng Wind And storms withdraw their darlen-

 Poverty due to noli+icor and oco- ,'o''l'c U"S'"roahces is making baby peddling a recognized occ,,nation in HnshWa, China, Where if is nossible to buy child for as 1itt1o as 60 cents.

 baby peddlers go through the streets crying their wares. with the children in baskets hanginr from their shoulders" declared Mrs Brew Ster.
 "Their best customers are the dWellers in the leper colony just out side the city, who want the little ones to beg for them. It is only a short time before the babies contract the disease. I recently rescued a bcauti- ful child from the lepers. They had paid 60 cents for it.
 Two dollars is the usual price for child, though travelling theatrical companies sometimes pay more for boys who seem unusually bright The government is supposed to care for blind or deformed babies, but as q matter of fact, the officials generally sell them to the beggars.
