HARDING STRONG HERE.

Senator Warren G. Harding of Ohio, whose name is mentioned in connection with the Republican nom- ination for the Presidency, probably has more influence and friends in Connecticut than any other man be- ing considered to make the race in 1920. He has appeared in this state on several occasions and always de parted leaving pleasant memories.
 AS principal speaker at the dinner of the Mckinley Association in Wa terbury last January, he created q favorable impression and as the event was attended by all the leading mem bers Of the Republican party in the state his visit did no harm in view of the possibility that he will be chosen to lead the c. 0. P. in it's es- sault on the Dem ocratic citadel. Sen ator Harding also spoke a few sum- mers ago at an outing of the Third Ward club of this city at Lake Com pounce where he created a bond of friendship between himself and his audience.
 As a national figure. his prestige was enhanced at the Republican Ma tional Convention in 1916 when he acted as Chairman.
 It is early in the day for the dis cusslon Of 1920 prospects but the leaders are already laying their wires. Republicans who direct party affairs in New Britain are not pledg ing themselves to Senator Harding although recognizing that at present his future appears bright. better understanding Of the national situa- ton is expected after the meeting of the Mckinley association in Hartford the latter part of this month when Representative s. D. t'ess will speak. State Senator Klett of this city is president of the association,

l[LERY BOOMING IN BERLIN STREETS
Govt. Troops ReCapture BPanden- burg Gate and Railway Station

Berlin, Jan. s. (By the Associated Press) Lively firing in which artil- lery has been employed has, been heard in various sections of the city during the afternoon. UnteN der 4-ln- den. Wilhelmstrasse and the section around the Reichstag building have been scenes of especially sharp con tests
 The situation appears to have ini- proved somewhat since yesterday Government troops have recaptured the Branden burg gate and also the Silesian railway station, which were held by the Spartacans.
 s;partacar forces attempted at one o'clock 10 re-takc the Brandenburg gate but were beaten off by rife and ma chine gun and shells from artillery from loyal forces holding the gate and the Reichstag building. The Rcichstag building is sarrisoned by students from the university of Der lin. 800 Of whom offered their serv- ices to the government. They are un- der command of veteran officers.
 Spartacan troops also made two sallies westward along Unter der Lin den toward the Brandenburg gate but fled after several had been shot by loy- al troops No Spartacans have been able to approach the government buildings as the streets approaching it are strongly guarded. The Hotel Kaiserhof has been vacated by guests and sarrisoned by loyal troops, many bodies Of which reached Berlin in the afternoon.
 Last nights heaviest fighting was at the Anhalt station and at the cor ner of CharIotten and Zimmer streets where the Wolff Bureau was situated The Spartacans desperately attacked the AnheH station three times but were defeated, losing 50 killed and 40 wounded, according to the Vorwaerts. The government forces lost one killed and two wounded.
 The government troops made q ser ies of attacks 10 capture the Wolff Bureau but all were unsuccessful. They lost five killed and 20 wounded. Spartacans again assembled early to- day, the crowd being estimated to number about 50.G00. Ii was notice- able that. 1t contained fewer women and children.

UP WITH THE STARS.

From The vaudeville stage to sing ing grand opera with. Caruso is a gap few vocalists hope to leap. That it can be done is proved by Miss Rosa Ponse1le of Meriden. who will be ten dcred a public reception tonight by the citizens Of her home town in hon. or Of har remarkable success
 Miss Ponselle's feat finds few par allels in the anna Is of the American stage Without influential friends to laui her singing qualities she stepped suddenly from humble engagement in vaudeville to one to which all pro fessjonal vocalists aspire. Caruso may not be the most accomplished male singer in the world-tl1ere are others who have large foNowings- but he is the best advertised. and to think Of grand opera is to think of Enrir0 Caruso. That Miss PonseUe's sudden rise to fame is not of the sl<v- rocket type but will be permanent is predicted by the leading musical crit fcs in New York, all of whom praise her profusely. Meridcn could do no better than to turn out en masse to welcome this young celebrity.

UnN-iSc Action.
(Brid geport Post ,

In attempting to close the movin g picture theaters in New Haven on Sunday. the straight-laced citizens of that town are doing no service. either to the people or to the Sunday cause which they profess to represent.
 IT is the same old story. the energy to curb the eniovments of the humble while not a move is made to halt the pleasures Of the more fortunate. The effect of such action in the very op- posite from what it is hoped to ac- comp1ish.
 The hollow mockery behind the claim that if is fight for one days rest in seven is found from the fact that whereas about one hundred per sons at the most are involved in the theater opening on Sunday, several thousand are involved in trolley and railroad running and in autom obile operation, against which no movement of any kind is made.
 The failure to say one single word against such things. or to organize legislative activity to make them un- lawful, while attacks are made on baseball and moving picture theaters. shows the sham behind the effort, the kind which is found in tho Indictment about mal<in g clean the outside of the cup. while within is all deception and wron gdong.
 The ultimate effect of such action will be to cause the majority to in time assert it's rights and go far be- yond what they otherwise would
 Bridgeport meets this situation in the truly Christian and practical WAY WNth three or four churches having moving pictures and illustrated lee lures on Sunday evening. and others. like the Community Forum, inviting in people to discuss practical dues- tions, Bridgeport is we'll Up with other progressive places. It also allows the theaters to remain open, and the posi- tive testimony is that the city is thousand times more orderly than when these perfectly nocent places Of entertainment are closed
 Those who seek to bind New Haven down 10 blue laws like the Phar- isees of old, and they deserve just as much. condemnation as those indi- v5uals of two thousand years ago.

FROST PICTURES.

Here are paths that allure me If I'd rest awhile and leave my care behind, And wander down white ways into the wood That offers refuge we can never find Where life is. The white trees are very still. White birds with frozen songs held on the air. Arrested winds-no sorrow and no Nor any creeping fear may enter there. It is a vision of such peace as numbs The pain Of conscious being. The paths wait And wait for those who would be glad to come But, blind with living, cannot find the gate! Beset by life, and looking out again Upon the common way that waits
 my feet, I found vision on the window pane That shut away the sordid, cruel street. I may not enter that white paradise. And life is real as the living know But I have seen it with my tired eyes, And it has given me the strength to go On the rough way to what I cannot The end-who knows the end? But peace is good. And l have looked upon tranquility, And seen a vision as pilgrim should.

British Consolidation.

The growing impatience of the british army over the slow demobi- lization can hardly fail to have a re- straining influence on those who fla vor improper demands at the peace conference. Already there is wide spread opposition to any plan which will require the holding of large force under arms in Germany. News paper demands that the peace confer ence be hastened have perhaps been could be obtained now by eXactiol Of
