MEMORIAL FOR SOLDIERS.

The War Camp Community Service, from it's headquarters in New York, announces the interesting fact that two hundred and thirty-six of the communities of the United States have decided to erect, as memorials 10 service men in the World War, buildings which will be used as com munity centers and that four hundred and fifty other cities, towns and vil- aages are considering the project.
 The matter brings to mind again nhe question of what we are to do there in New Britain for our soldiers and sailors. The erection of a suit able building to house the social affairs of the people, to use as a stgathering place for those who wish entertainment, is a matter that may receive the most thorough considcra- hion. Social centers and community houses are growing more necessary ho every city yearly. The practice of lbuilding useless monuments is rapidly eoming into disfavor.
 We would like to hear from New Britain people, particularly soldiers, sailors and their families, and get lHheir ideas on the subject It is cer- tain that something will be built as R memorial within the next year. |Public opinion must decide this thing. |The Herald will be glad to print let ters from local people giving their |plans. Let us have them.

AFTER GEN. KRUSKA.

The Allies today demanded from the German government one of the most fiendish of it's former military leaders, Gen. Kruska, who will be |tried for violating the rules of war fare in his treatment of prisoners of as Camp Kaiser. He is accused of |innoculating the inmates of that |camp with typhus thus causing the ldeath of some three thousand French l not three thousand lives that we might take one for each of those which he has taken, that we might send each of them out into oblivion with noth-
 ing but hellish torment as a memory Hof the last few hours of it's earthly
 entity. He has only one. we hope
 that that will be taken from him.
 Our desires for revenge scarcely
 coincide with those of humanity we 2admit, but there was no humanity in
 the hound that innoculated his help Jess charges with foul germs. He is
 not deserving of proper treatment, he should not be put to death as we &would kill a human being Were Hhere the least reason to suspect that 3he had a conscience we would recom-
 mend that he be allowed to live and
 suffer but he can have none. Tor 2ture of his physical being is the
 method which suggests itself as being Hitting to his case. The deliberate
 murder of three thousand men who 2were unfortunate enough to be cap- *tured while doing their duty, who &were taking a chance with their own Hives while endeavoring to kill others, kmay not be condoned with. Their Bot was none too happy, they may not
 haye regretted death as it laid it's
 cold finger upon their hearts, but xjustice demands the life of more
 than one man in vengeance. If but &Dne was to blame the worst of fates %shouId be his.

CHILDREN OF THE CITY STREET

Ye children of the city street, Who run to me with laughing cry, Who run to me as 1 pass by, And pluck my dress with courage
 fleet, Then hang your heads abashed and
 shy;
 Ye children of the swarming way,
 Whose world is dark and pinched
 and gray, My heart beats quicker when you
 smile, And walk with me a little while Pale blossoms, choked 'twixt brier
 and stone,
 You reach to me as I pass by, You reach to me, I know not why, Who neither bairn nor flower have
 known; For you I'd pillage Gods blue sky The perfumed air, the golden sun, The myriad stars-aye, every one I'd give to you, ye bitter-sweet, Who bloom and Wither in the street Oh, children of the cruel street, So helpless and ashamed am I, So weak to answer to your cry; Though bread 1 bring, or drink, or I bring no light from Gods blue Ye children of the swarming way, Whose life is starved and gloomy You stab me when you love and
 smile And walk with me a little while Augusta Kortrecht in New York

CLEMENCEAU OUGHT
 TO ATTEND SESSION
Effort Being Made to Have Him At tend Opening of League of Ma
 tions Congress Here.

Paris, Aug. S.-The presence of Premier Clemenceau at the first gen. = eral assembly of the league of na- tions at Washington is strongly urged in American quarters according to Marcel Hutin of the Echo de Paris who says his informant is a French statesman.
 M. Hutin adds that, while, on the other hand, the premier "cannot bind himself to go to America at the time when his presence in France is par ticularly necessary it may be possible to arrange things, and it is thought he will be unlikely to remain insen- sible to the pressing invitations he is getting from America"
 As to the date of the assembly, it is said, an exchange of views between the Allied governments is now going on. In some quarters there is some sentiment in favor of delaying the meeting until we'll arranged pro- gram is drawn up, but others, notably the French, express the opinion the gathering should be held this fall so that a program of guiding principles could be firmly established.

"GINGER ALE SPECIAL"
Cafe Owner Arrested and Held in $1 :,
 900 Bail

Trenton, N. J., Aug. Exchanged with selling ginger ale special" said to have been made with brandy and ginger ale, John l.. Thompson, pro- prietor of the Lafayette cafe, and his bartender, Fred Curtis, were arrest ed yesterday by department of jus tice agents and held in $1,000 bail each. This is the first prosecution of it's kind in this city.
 l.. $. Tevis and c. T. Sprague, de- partment of justice men, purchased some beer in the cafe and noticed other men were served with drinks in small glasses. They asked for and received two of the ginger ale spe- cials," they say, paying twenty-five cents each for them. They then jumped over the bar and confiscated the bottles, while the customers in the place fled through the doors.

It can determine precisely what each employe shall receive for the service he renders. There can be no question in. regard to its power in that regard" All of which may be theoretically true.
 But Senator Thomas in discussing these questions pointed out that the demands of the employees total an increase of sSO0,O00, 900 a year. The obvious question arises whether a rail- road official, who is responsible to congress, would, without consulting congress, spend $S00,000.000 a year. Would any official of an ordinary cor

Japan Renews Pledges.
(NeW York WOrld.)

In the statement issued at TokiO by Viscount Uchida, the Japanese foreign minister again gives official assurance that Japan has no intention of hold ing Shantung. In the most positive terms he not only declares that Japan will claim no rights affecting the ter ritorial sovereignty of China in the province of Shantunk but promises that Japanese troops will at once be withdrawn upon the conclusion of a1 agreement with China. The pledge given to China in 1915, he repeats, holds good. Japan is quite willing to restore to China the whole of the ter ritory in question and to enter upon negotiations with the government at Peking regarding the. necessary ar rangement to give effect to the pledge at the soonest possible time after the Versailles treaty has been ratified by Japan"
 This leaves only the question of the rights renounced by Germany in the peace treaty in favor of Japan con- corning the territory of KiaochoW Under the provisions Of articles 56. 151 and 15S, Japan is to acquire all the property of Germany, railways, mines and submarine cables. Viscount Uchida adds, however, that Japan has under consideration the esta blishment at Tsingtau of a general foreign set clement instead of a purely Japanese settlement.
 Of course this official statement of the Japanese foreign minister will not be accepted as having any value by Senators Borah, Johnson, Norris and Watson. Nothing that Japan can do Wili satisfy them. Whatever pledges it may make or whatever plans it may announce will only confirm them in their hostility to the peace treaty. They will die in their tracks before they will surrender one inch of ground and cold facts and plain figures are of no account. But to other senators who are open to reason, the frank statement made in the name of the Japanese government must be helpful in removing any honest misgiVin gs they have had about the ShanIung situation

QUIT MEAT IF YOUR
 KIDNEYS ACT BADLY
Take Tablespoonful of Salts If Back Hurts or Bladder BOthcrS-
 Drink Lots of Water.

We are a nation of meat eaters and our blood is filled with uric acid, says g. weu-known authority, who warns us to be constantly on guard against kid ney trouble.
 The kidneys do their utmost to free the blood of this irritating acid, but become weak from the overwork; i; they get sluggish; the eliminative tis- sues clog and thus the waste is re- tained in the blood to poison the en- tire system
 When your kidneys ache and feel like Jumps of lead, and you have stinging pains in the back CT the urine is cloudy, full of sediment, or the bladder is irritable, obliging you to seek relief during the night; when you have severe headaches, nervous and dizzy spells sleeplessness, acid stom- ach or rheumatism in bad weather, get from your pharmacist about four ounces of lad Salts; take a table spoonful in a glass of water before breakfast each morning and in few days your kidneys will act nne. This famous salts is made from the acid of grapes and len on juice, com blned with lithia, and has been used for generations to flush and stimulate clogged kidneys, to neutralize the acids in urine so it is no longer a source of irritation, thus ending urin- ary and bladder disorders.
 lad Salts is inexpensive and cannot injuTe; makes delightful efferves- cent lithia- water drink, and nobody can make a mistake by taking a little occasionally, to keep the kidneys clean ond active.

TRUCKS AND THE RAILROADS

Il As every cloud has it's lining of &silver there is one bright item in the #dark appearance of the railroad strike that is now rapidly spreading over the Limited States-and that is the poss- Abilities of using gasoline propelled trucks for the transportation of per-
 ishabIe goods and most essential sup plies. During the war those who wished to carry goods, j. atal1articularly for short distances, found that the motor helped to a very great extent. In addition there were many trucks added to our equipment to fill the de- mand for transportation which the railroads could not furnish. Many of these have been lying idle but they will soon reappear upon our high ' ways. to take the place of freight cars without men to operate them.
 The government is in a position to supply many trucks to firms and in- 7 dividuals in this country from it's use less army equipment. Dependence on this form of traffic will rapidly grow
 as the railroads lose their workers and the use of it, for a while, will en-
 courage its permanent adoption. We will find a way from our troubles, if forced to, and the railroad employees
