fie. while the bullets rang against
the rails beneath his feet.
Apparently. however. his fire had
no effect on the Hun machine gun
crew.
'Ill get 'em. sergeant" he yelled to
his platoon commander. and, with his
bayonet fixed. paying no more atten-
tion to the bullets flying about him
than if they were hailstones he
rushed down the embankment and
charged ahead through a wheat field
toward the gun emplacement
For 10 yards Dilboy dashed ahead
unhurt. Then a piece OF shrapneI
struck him in the right leg just above
the knee. nearly severing his leg. At
the same time several bullets lodged
in various parts OF the body
The brave soldier dropped and
stretched out on his stomach, but,
with undsunted courage" to use
Gen. Pershing's own words, he
kept up a continual stream OF bull
let's into the German position with
his rife. Lying there in the wheat
field, this seriously wounded hero
killed two OF the enemy and drove
the Germans ned Dilboys compan-
ions came to his relief and bore him
to a base hospital. where he died
of his wounds.
He died for liberty-we who
stayed at home are merely asked

Blood of Fallen Cries
For League of Nations
Former Ambassador Gerard Declares That

II we can end war.
More DImcuIty.
when we come 10 what is called
Article Y, perhaps there is more
difficulty. The article declares that
the league guarantees the countries
CT the world as they stand. Now
If the article means that we are to
guarantee forever that Ireland shall
not be free, then i am against that
article.
The next point is the question of
the Monroe doctrine. This league
proposes simply the extension Of
the Monroe doctrine to the whole Of
the world; that, no nation shall
male an aggressive attack for the
purpose of conquest. or establish its
colonies by force in the territory of
another nation. So that we have the
Monroe doctrine in this covenant.
but with the guaranty of the world
in it's favor.
There is a provision with regard
to disarmament. ! do not think we
need fear disarmament.
Provision For Discussion.
Best of all. in this to prevent
war. is the provision for discussion
before entering on war. Secretary
Bryan had that idea when he was
Secretary of State. do not always
agree with him in his policies: but
in this i think he was right
He proposed n simple remody-that
no nation should go TO war until
ii had discussed the questions at issue
for a year. Do you think that this
great war that we have just gone
through would have occurred if there
had been a discussion for a wear?
1T has been said against the league
that We were being asked TO become
guardians for backward nations. Why
shouldn't We? Why should not we
bear our part of that burden? Just
as we did in Cuba.
THE people who oppose this idea
say no; America must shut herself
up behind a wall. taking no respon-
sibility. giving no help TO the world.

Gerard, former American Ambassador
to Germany. answering arguments
against the league of nations.
First Objection.
The first objection to the league of
nations has been along the line of the
fathers who created this country.
In the first place, when President
Washington spoke of entangling alli-
ances he had just freed this country
with the aid of an alliance with
France.
Then, too, we expect that this
league is something that will dis
entangle all alliances. that will cd
away in the future with all of these
little alliances, the triple alliance.
or the quadruple alliance. or the
entente, or all of this balance of
power that has brought about so
many wars in Europe.
"The second great objection made.
generally to the league is that we
are giving up our sovereignty. We
give up the right of International
murder which is called war. We arc
are not obliged by the terms OF the
covenant proposed to send any force

The night passed in great tension.
As the hour set for the beginning OF

passed In all the annals Of
bravery.
The third story of the series
of ten follows herewith.

Private George Dilboy. OF Boston.
a member OF Company H. 103d In
fantry. was one OF the heroes of the
Marne who gave his life for his
country in the start of the great al
lied offensive that won the war.
His regiment was part of the
Twenty-sixth division, which took
part in the great drive through Bel
leau Wood which began on July IS.
On the first day OF the fight Private
Dilboy made a name for himself that
will live in American history.
A railroad embankment along a
little stream near the town OF Bel
leau was the objective OF Dilboy's
platoon. You remember how over
whelmingly the doughboys carried
everything before them. Dilboy's
platoon reached the embankment
and there halted.
Young Dilboy was selected by his
platoon leader to accompany him on
a accommodating expedition over the
ground beyond the railroad They
climbed the embankment. but no soon
er had their heads appeared over the
top than a German machine gun post
ed 100 yards away opened up on
them.
Yelling defiance at the Huns, Dn-
boy stood up on the railroad track.

the gravity OF the decision. We had
nothing to guide US in the belief that
the boys would not abandon us to our
fate, except a feeling that such a
monstrosity could not happen. Be-
sides. something had to be done. An
offensive had to be launched soon. The
front was rapidly deteriorating to a
state Of impotence.
Col. Ivanov communicated to the
commander by telephone the decision
OF the battalion. 1t was a desperate
gamble, and every one of US realized
the grimness of the moment. The men
on our tanks were joking and deriding
US.

BY FRANK MORRISON.
Secretary Of the American Fedora
tion of Labor.

These four propositions will rem
edy the unemployment situation in
America and prevent bread lines
next winter:
l. Demobilized soldiers, sailors
and Marines should be paid their
regular pay by the government un-
til they find employment even if it
takes them a year.
The government should put dis
charged soldiers and sailors on land,
loan them $500 each with which
to build house and buy machinery,
and permit them to buy the land
on longtime payments.
3. immigration to this country
should be stopped for four years
to prevent unfair competition with
foreign labor in a market already
saturated.
4. Every contract let for public
work and held in abeyance on ac-
count OF the war should be i'm
mediately carried out.
Governments Duty.
1 hope that as soon as Congress re-
convenes 1t will lose no time in pass
ing legislation to carry out these prop
ositions and start up the machinery
which will take care of the thousands
of returned soldiers. sailors and war
workers who are now out of work.
1t is not my place to say who was
at fault for the failure of the last
Congress to enact this legislation. But
whoever. for the sake of political ad-
vantage. would permit a single soldier
returned from France to go without
work has committed a crime against
humanity.
1 believe that the governments duty
is to secure land, irrigate it, make it
fit for cultivation. and purchase 1t to
put men to work. Then 1t should be
sold to soldiers. sailors. or whoever de-
sires 1t. on longtime payments. Every
man should be advanced $500 for the
purpose Of building a house and buy
ing the necessary implements to en-
able him to get in his first years crop.

Paris, April 4 Russia Is awaken
ing with the spring.
During the winter. in the sleep OF
the bear strange dreams have been
passing, and some account must be
taken of them. For he has been
starved bear and wakes up hungry
and mad.
Every week brings some new visi-
tor from Russia to Paris. and they
all tell one story.
It has various fringes; those who
believe in the Bolshevists see the
thing from one angle; those who hate
them see the thing from another
angle.
But all see the same important
thing: In Central Russia. in so-csll-
ed Soviet Russia. the Russia of Le-
nine and Trotsky. famine has car
ried of hundreds of thousands-pos-
sibly millions.
In the city of Petrograd alone. for
four months the death rate has been
over 10000 a month.
Children Sacrificed.
Not a child there under two years
OF age is living. Babies die for want
OF nourishment and food prices are
fantastic.
Famine has put an awful mark on
Russia, inside and outside OF the
Gordon about the Soviet government.
Fact number two. which all agree
upon. is that the terror for the mo-
ment has ceased.
Those who believe in the Bolshev-
lists declare that it is no longer nee
essary to preserve order. Those who
hate them declare that famine has
rendered the people helpless and that
there is no resistance 10 Bolshevist
rule because the people have lost all
spirit.
Fact number three is that industry
Is parelyzed. There Is no coal. At
first men would not work; now they
are too weak to work. And even IL
there was coal. there is no transpor-
tation to move it from the mines.
Men at first refused to work in the
railroad repair shops and keep the
rolling stock and motor department
in repair: now they cannot lift the
burdens required to do the repairing.
and the railroad shops are checked
with engines needing repairs which
men are too weak to make, and the
few engines running are almost life
less pulses in the social body.
The street cars run but a few hours
a day and the water plants In the
cities run only long enough to sup
ply drinking and cooking water. All
retail stores in Moscow and the cit
les are boarded up.
Food and clothing only are sold. and
they come from communal stores
whose wares have the preference on
the railroads. Private enterprise Is
not merely broken; it is virtually
gone.
Fact number four IS anomalous: The
army is strong and well fed. No one
denies that. Those who defend the
Bolshevists declare that the peasants
feed the army.
Attack Bolsheviki.
Those who attack the BolsheVists
declare that the Bolshevist army Is
like a crooked mutual company whose
new business pays its daily losses
That is to say the victories of the
army in new territory furnish loot
which keep the army going; loot at
tracts men TO It for food, FOR them-
selves and for their families.

This readjustment period must
witness a revision of the position Of
the workers. Industries must not

Social Justice.
People are learning that there is
no reason why a small minority
should live in luxury and work a
few hours day, while the majority
work long hours at low wages, and
are unable to buy comforts for their
families. Legislation and general
thought is progressing along these
lines today. and the farther it
progresses, the quicker will /. w.

We have timber interests in WASH

others which refuse to permit their

Goggins of 94S Grand ave- nue, New Haven, is the state enrolling officer and he wishes to get into communication with some discharged soldier, former National Guardsnan or Spanish War Veteran, who is in terested in boys military affairs Whoever is selected to head the To- cal company will receive an officers com mission in the guard and the boys between, the ages of If and IS who join the guard under his direction will be supplied with official uniforms and rifles at a very reasona ble sum to themselves.
 The American Guard is a train- ing organization founded and direct ed by men who are firmly convinced that real military training equally as strict as that given a, regular in the United States army can be applied to boys at an age when they are able to handle d rifle. No compromise is made with the informal methods of boy scouting: it is established 10 prove the efficiency of a boy organ ization trained by experienced sol diers as against the social activities of non military and merely patriotic boy organizations.
 1t was establishing in New York city in 1915 by Major General Leon ard Wood, commander of the Central department of the United States army and Major-General John r. O'Ryan. adjutant general of the New York National Guard and late commander of the famous 27th division of the American army. Today the American Guard, of which Brigadier- General National Guard, is the president, has a mem bership of 10000 in New York city while the national organization has an enrolled total close to the 30- 900 mark.
 The American Guard is the fore most boys military organization in the United States today. It has companies in New Haven. Bridgeport, Hartford, Waterbury, Danbury, Nor wich, New London, Middletown, Mer- iden, Winsted, Ansonia and units will be formed in Manchester, Torrington, Willimantic and other Connecticut cities and towns very soon.
 who is interested in the formation of such a company, either in New Britain or Bristol, is requested to write to Captain Goggins on the sub- feet for full particulars.
