After the Battle.
(NeW York Suu.D

The circumstances leading up to yesterday's event in Toledo, couple T with that peculiar struggle itself, made plain these great truths:
 1. That in spite of the general complaint about lack of housing fa- ciltics in this. land nearly 100000 ad- ditional persons can ho contained in | city the normal population of WhiCE is ISQ.OO0.
 > That in the face of the prevalent belief that folks are hard pressed to pay the butcher, the baker and the mahogany Candlestick maker o0,0O0 men and women planked down from $tO to $100 apiece for hot seats for nine minutes diversion.
 3. That the governor of Ohio could accomplish the seemingly impossible feat of appearing to regret that 2. heavyweight championship ba tile was to be fought in his state and at the same time Of permitting it to go on.
 f. That 8 greater interest is shown by the ordinary mortal in the physical conflict of two large living creatures than he exhibits toward the course of the planets through the ether or to- ward the riddle Of existence.

Anyhow It Was Not FratCrnizinC.
(New York TimcSD

By general admissions there IS no accounting for tastes, and even the monarch WhO-fOr COnSidCra tons which for some curious reason were never rccordcd-is still credited as holding the record for wisdom tn- cluded the way of a man with maid as among the things he couldn't eN- plain. It probably would be waste of time therefore, to indulge in con- lecture why so many soldiers in the part of the American army stationed, since the armistiCc, in Germany have engaged themselves to marry the fair of their new viCinaGe.
 That they have done so seems mYs- tcrious indeed to distant observers who, not having had experience with the tediums of idle months passed in dull German towns and dullcr Ger man villages. cannot realize to the full how tempting would be the only distra ctiOn these places O(fcred--a distraction which in addition to it's ordinary charms, recognized as potent the world over, was made the more alluring by the existence Of stern military law forbiddinG it's enjoyment. It well may be that if our soldiers had not been threatened with divers pains and penalties if they fraternzed with tho native populationtthey would have remembered better various cX- omplifica tions of GerWan character that the world has had in recent years, and would have had little or no inclination for the establishment of relations even closer than fratcrnal with young women so, 10 them, thoroughly alien as were, arc and always must be those living in the Coblcnz sector. But the ban was there, and it was resented, S prohibit lions in matters distinctly personal always are, and now the rebels against authority are confessing their dis
 obedience of orders and asking per mission to take homo with them the brides they have selected.
 The chances are that they will get it, sooner or later for it was "frater nization' that was forbidden, and that word would have to be stretched far beyond tho breaking point to cover the winning of wife.

PEACE AND WAR.

l stood one morning on d misty
 bridge, Like God. above the turmoil, And underneath mon toiled in peace. Against the current of the Seine stout tugs puffed on, almost in vain, To haul the heavy bargcs, loaded
 high with coal. And on the other shore great fac
 tories And engines. breathing black and
 white. Darkencd the misty air into a denser
 fog. From out the mist there came a
 train of guns, All gray and slender, like young ani-
 malS-- Guns drawn by gypsy horses and
 guided hN men, Men tall, men short men bearded. But all in blue and mingled with the
 mist. Sitting erect upon the caissons Stiff with the pride and love of war Which each man, half ashamed Hides in his deepest heart, Before tho column rode the colrnel Upright. with bristing white mus
 tacheS, And hard as justice on his great white
 horse. Then, one by one. the sleek guns : passed Beneath the arch into the thick gray 1 mist, And left behind the monotone of toll Thaa men call peace.

BEER ON TAP.

New Britain liquor dealers have fol- lowed the lead of others in the State and Country and have opened their places of business for the sale of beers and light wines, though most of them are mot attempting to handle the wines. Beer. however. is again obtain B ble after a drought of about a week. This is not news to the thirsty. There is no need of retailing a list of the shops that are open. They have all ready been found and have again col leCted a liberal patronages Still the liquor uncertainty rages No one yet knows where We are in the u.bir1 of near prohibition. Saloon keepcrs have been arrested for selling hard liquors since July land have been allowed to go. What to do with them after they are apprehended is the all important question. Most of the deal CTS, however, arc unclisturbed in their vending of beer.
 " hateNer the proportion of alcohol in the beverage, customers have found It lar more satisfying than the soda drinks Stolen goods are always sweetest and the fact that beer sales arc froWned upon, though they have not yet been proven illegal, is re- sponsible for q great deal of the urlnklng. The tenn ptation to go out and get a glass Of the stuff, now that lsn t supposed to be sold, is more overwhelming than ever before. The element of uncertainty appeals to many.
 The saloon keepers, who have re- talned counsel, are evidently satisfied that II they are arrested there will not be heavy fine imposed upon them. fA"'ielpatlon of a stiff penalty was all that Kept them closed. Quite natur-

 Tho real farmer with ;R big crop of wheat in hand who Vrres such a letter is asking congress fn his own uncertsinty. Tnc price of s2.2s is a big price. Tt guaranteesf to him big profits He has admitfed that this would be the case by planting more acres 10 wheat than eveh before. Now that the greatly enlarged acreage has brought an unprecedented yield, he is thus by his own admission in the way of rcaping the xfbis profits and the government has bound itself to hand those profits hvcr to him as his crop is maTketed.4
 Is if at the monte ent of this assured ingathering of the huge profits that the average whesAt-grOWer would put away the prOfterefd tatnesS of fortune and besiege congress to turn him over to the uncerfainties Of Ghica gO- made market?

GOV. HOLCOMB OPPOSES LEAGUE

Governor Marcus H. Holcomb of the State of Connecticut, in a letter to Senator BrandcEee has expressed himself as being in complete accord with that gcntlcman's sta atcmcnt in regard to the League of Nations. If We remember rightly Mr. Brandegce has publicly explained that he would not vote for the League until Hell froze over." He also will leave the Republican party the moment it stands for the League We have no information as to the status of skating in Hell. but as far as we know the devil is not yet pCddling ice cream cones, so we take it that neither the Governor nor the Senator are at all anxious to support the League of Ma iions. That might reasonably be sup posed from other matter in the corrc- spondence on the subject without the alusion to the alleged location of continual heat. The threat of the two to leave the Republican ranks, should 1t back the League, is proof positive
 
 plans. The spectacle Of the expiring mamm oth, symbolic of the Republican party, dying alone, after these two trainers had left it's side, with the iaveln of unfealty drawing blood from it's faithful heart moves Us to tears and nearly converts Us to skepti- cism where the league is concerned Surely these two must be right. TheN have had too much from the animal to thus leave it in the lurch. It's kind treatment cannot be rewarded by de- sertion on the part of it's bcnefactors
 It is a well known fact, though, that the elephant has a thick skin. Maybe the expression of the two elderly gen tlemen, one of whom has borrowed the questionable colloquialism Of the streets to express his conviction, which has since been given unqualified ap- proval by the other, will be unable to pcne'ra the outer layer of protect i've covering with their barbed worlds Possibly the thick skinned one has his mind already made up that the League will never receive his support. If so all is we'll with the world and the State of Connecticut. We need not fear for the future of our two stand pat leaders from the Nutmeg State Their declining years will be spent in the enjoyment of the fruits of their efforts to conciliate the animal. There is, as we said, no immediate prospect of Hell freezing over, and the only contingency to be feared is the possi- bility that the Republican party might be converted to belief in the League. Z If 1t is poor old Jumbo. It was a hard, hard, life It must be blow, in your present deCrepit condition to . hear that two of your supports will be knocked from under you. However, the gentlemen have committed them selves; we can do naught but offer sympathy should you support the League You were a fine old brute in your day.

EASY TO TALK TOO MUCH
In the Sage Reflections Of
Mr.. 0oslinston.

ut Is my opinion" said Mr.. Gosling-
ton. 'taat beggars talk too much. For
instance, this morning I met a man
who asked me for a nicxel with which
to buy cup of coffee. As was
reaching for the nickel he kept right
on talking, telling me among other
things that he hadn't had anything to
eat for three days, which knew Of
course was false, and which detracted
very much from my pleasure in giving.
II am an easy mark. Perhaps as
grow older shall grow harder, but as
I feel about 1t now I would rather give
to a dozen frauds than take chance
OF missing one man who was hungry.
Still don't like the fraud to be too
obvious; and I am sure there must
be many prospective glvers who, when
the beggar keeps on with that sur
plus talk. rescind their original deter
mination to give and keep their money
in their pocket. Surely you would
think the beggar would learn wisdom
and talk less. wouldn't your
"But the beggar Is not the only
man. How often do we hear 1t said
of some banquet speaker that he Is
q good talker but he talks too much !!
This may seem harsh way of put
ting 1t. but that's what people say.
This speaker starts engagingly and
talks for time to the pleasure Of ev-
erybOdy, wandering on then interim
nably to the complete obliteration Of
the first favorable impression. Here
the only result Is the firing of the
speakers hearers; but talking too
much might have far more serious
result In the case of, say, man APP
plying for Job.
MANY man has talked himself
out Of a prospective job. He goes to
the employer with what he wants to
say clearly laid out in his mind. he
says this clearly and simply. and the
employer has practically made up his
mind to take him; but then the appli-
cant keeps on talking, to his own un-
doing. As he talks he reveals himself
in light less favorable; he discloses
perhaps some peculiarly that may not
really be detriment but that strikes
the employer not agreeably; and SO
this Job that at first the applicant had
felt perfectly sure Of slips away from
him entirely and without his realizing
