MORE ARTILLERY IN PERMANENT U. 5. AR
War Has Developed This Branch
 Of Service

NaShngton, April 3.-The Ameri- can Army wall retain permanentfy some Of the artillery organizations which are an outgrowth of the war. Among these, according to the reor~ ganization plans which have been ap4 proved, are 155 nm. rifles, the weap- ons relied upon largely in the closing days of the war for barragc work: eight-inch and 9.2-inch field howitz- CTS; heavy railway guns including 12- inch, 14-inch and 16-inch mortars, howitzers and rifles; trench mortar units and anti-aircraft batteries in- cluding motorized machine gun unifa to protect troops on the march from attack from the air
 In addition to the 61 regiments cd field artillery provided for in the di- ViSional organizations, there are to ha six regim ents of army artillery to go with the field army organizations to be created. Three of these regim entd will be armed with 155 nm. rifles, ap- proNimating a siX-inch long ranGa gun and the other three with the S. inch and 9.2-inch hoWtzers for field operations to be mounted on or hauled by gasoline tractors. Tie 60 regim ents of divisional artillery to zd with the 20 infantry divisions will be armed with 75 nm. rifles or their three-inch equivalent and 4.7-inch rifles and howitZers. Each division will have one regiment of light guns, horse drawn; one regiment of light guns, motorized. and one regiment ot 4.Ts. motorized. The cavalry division will have three re gim ents of horaa artillery. light guns, but with the en- tire personnel mounted in order ta reduce tho load on the gun teams anI enable them to keep up with the cav airy brgadcs
 Personnel for the heavy batteries, the S-inch and 9.2-inch guns, will come from the coast artillery, which will also man four regiments of ra = way artillery. The railway guns wtlt constitute mobile coast defcnscs bat are to be available for use in t%a, field if circumstances require.
 One departure from wartime or sanitation is the abandonm ent s.ol trench mortar batteries with the di4 visions. Instead. d single trench mortar regiment will be organized as a part of the army artillery to be as4 signed for duty by the army com mander. The extensive use Of trench guns in France was due to sta abiIizcd trench warfare conditions. The Gi- visionaI batteries lost their usefulness except in special conditions wlrenrtha allied attack turned tho warfare into an open struggle. For that reason the trench mortar units of all divi- sions were among the first sent home.
 Another new elem cnt is the assign ment of two anti-aircraft sectors "to the army artillery. These units, per- sOnnel also to come from thc'coast ar , tiIlery, will include the larger guns for fire against aircraft and will be provided with searchlights to spot night ra aiders and sound fash ranging equipment 10 locate either air raiders or concealed guns. ts.

SCHOOL BOARD FOR t9f9-2O.

Denomination of John Walsh for the Board of Education comes as pleasing information to those who have admired him for his history making career in this department of public service and it is especially gratefully received because a number of his fellow-Democrats expressed the opinion before the caucuses that he should be retired. Those who enjoy the pleasure of his acquaintance and happy that this attempt at retirement was not consummated
 A glance at the list of those who will be elected to the Board of Edu- cation is reassuring. MT. Andrule- wicz, who was named with Judge Walsh by the Dem mocrats, is an eXperi- enced educa tor and should prove to be of value to the committee. Her bert H. Pease and Frank G. Vibberts, nominated by the Republican party, can be counted on to give New Brit
 ain tho best that is in them. George W. Traut, re-nominated by the Re publicans has demonstrated in the past that he is well placed. He is serious minded and devoted to the aim of improving our educational system.
 The public is warranted in it's be- lief that the business of modelling New Britain's future citizens will be ! in the custody of a capable and con- 1 scientious body during the coming l year.

MAKING $1OO INTO MILLIONS.

Thrift as the stepping stone to story of Darius Miller, who died last night. The extent of his fortune will not be known until an inventory of his estate is filed in the Court of Pro- bate but it is believed to run into mil lions. This was amassed from nu- cleus of s7O0, given to him when he was a young man by his father.
 Although d firm believer in many of Franklin's signboards along lifc's highway, MT. Miller did not allow the advice of sages to obscure his own vision. As an example, he did not be- lieve in waiting for Opportunity to knock at his door. He journeyed forth in search Of Opportunity and proved that it could be found by those who had the am mbition to go after it,
 As each individual has an influence over fellow humans who travel in the same orbit, so Mr. Miller had an m fluence over the community m Nnlch he made his home and this influence was the lesson Of thrift he taught. Another lesson which may be gleaned from his story was the wisdom of in vesting in home industries. MT. Mill Ter had faith in New Britain when it was a struggling town with earth streets. The money he invested in To- cal manufa curing plants has been returned a hundred-fold as New Brit ain has grown and prospered.

CHANGES AT CITY HALL.

Rumors breed faster in City Hall lhan in any other building in the city but there seems to be substantial ground for believing the reports that Mayor Quigley intends to make a number of changes next month. or greatest interest is the story that he purposes to appoint I Willie Mills, a, Republican. to the office of personal tax collector, now occupied by Charles J. Elliott, a Democrat In view of the fact that Democrat has held this position for nearly ten years, the Mayor can claim that the time has arrived to give the berth to a Repub- lican. which sentiment will have the endorsement of those who march under the flag of the G. o. P.
 It is reported that several other Democrats will lose positions to which salaries arc attached. There l IT question of their efficiency, but they happen to be on the wrong side of the political fence.

JAPAN A NAUGHTY CHILD.

Japan continues to injure her own case by threatening China if the lat ter country make. public the text of secret treaties. Tokio may discover that it's high handed attitude in the Orient is fast causing the defection of those who once admired her. Japan is a cocky little nation whose role it seems 10 be to carry a chip on her shoulder. Success may have turned her head. Japan's remarkable rise in international afreirs, in commerce and in influence in the Far East is one of the wonders of the present era. Un- less she decides to be moro compan- ionable her decline may be just as swift
 The longer Japan prevents the pub licaton of the treaties, the more set tied will become the conviction that she fears the disclosures will not re- dound to hcr credit. If there is noth- ing to fear, Japan should acduiescc in China's desire to inform the world just what these pacts are and what they mean.

Why Spartacus?
tNcw York Tribune)

Why the German BoIsheviiis elected as their patron saint Sparta GUS, the Thracian gladiator, who held the power of the Roman republic at bay, has been rather puzzling. Spar tacus ls described as an able general a just leader who did his best to check the excesses of his men and was not unkind to his prisoners. He was not lacking in statesmansbip and saw clearly that pillage and destruc- ton injured his cause
 1t may be, however, that Lieb- knecht and his friends were inspired in their selection of the name not by the original Spartacus, by Spartacus l., but by Spartacus IT., as it were an 18th century philosophic rebel against the existing order of things. It was in the year 1776 that the sect of ati-later called Perfecti- bilists-Was founded in Germany by one Adam Weishaupt, who sometimes affected the name Spartacus. The fanatics who followed him combined in their creed 8 utopian eduelitarian- ism with an exceedingly severe disci- pline and "unquestioning submission to authority-a feature omin ously sug- gestiye of Leninism. Furthermore one reads in the writings of Weis- haupt that he proposed ito destroy vandalize the universe, in order to es- tablish on the ruins Of palaces and cities the reign of pastoral virtues"
 This doctrine of "creative destruc- tion,' as preached by Weishaupt, did not lead, directly at least, to actual outbreaks of violence, although his teachings were. at one time. credited with considerable influence over the Jacobins of France-a hypothesis since >disproved. Rather, the Perfect ibilists were the .parlor Bolsheviki Of the 18th century--while the Sparta cists of our days are. in 8 sense, H. luminati translated into the terms ot the machine gun.

Municipal Ownership.
(DetrOit N ews.)


 ClGNeland is in a race with Detroit for the honor Of making the experi- ment of municipal ownership of street railways. President John J.. Stanley of the Cleveland Street Railway com pany says some big city is going to try municipal ownership and CIeve- and is best fitted to make the demon stration for three reasons:
 It has one of the best street car systems in the country: it has an aroused civic consciousness and it will take over the lines at a valuation fixed in advance and not loaded Nith water"
 MT. Stanley's analysis indicates that Cleveland has nothing on Detroit in the way of special qualifications for getting and mana ging street car system. Detroit has an aroused civic consciousness, a plan for taking over the lines at a fixed valuation supposed to be Wrung pretty dry, and it has tn worst street car system in the world which is a much stronger incentive to making the eXpcrim ent than the best street car system in the counthy''
 If Detroit had street car system that was within shouting distance of perfection Detroit wouldn't do any experimenting. We don't bother our public utilities companies if they have any sense of fair play and villngne ess 70 deliver the goods. But our ''arOus- cd civic consciousness" has long been whettjng it's knife for the D. l.. R.

Senator Hitchcock of Nebraska polresman. for the administration, ,rophesies thatsthc League of Nations oEenant, when submitted to the United States Senate as part of the leace treaty, will contain several new Iaragra phs written into it with the purpose of meeting objections to the |riginal constitution which have been aised in America. He predicts that will include: .-
 A definite provision reserving to each nation the power to
 withdraw from the league on giv-
 ing reasonable notice.
 A provision specifically reserv-
 ing to each individual nation con-
 trol over it's domestic affairs, in
 cluding immigration.
 A clause making it clear that
 the recommendation for the re-
 duction of armaments made by
 the Executive Council of the
 league shall not go into effect un-
 til each nation has, through it's
 constituted auth critics, adopted
 it.
 A provision that no decision of
 the Executive Council nor of the league itself, which shall be bind ing upon any nation, shall be made except by unanimous vote.
 Because the question of safeguard Ang the Monroe Doctrine has not been #ettled. no amendment has been srafted on this subject, Senator Hitch lock says. With the exception of this esirable. but not necessary improve @n ent nearly all criticism will have Aeen answered.

AN IMPROVEMENT NOTED.

Although there. was opposition to he proposed methods of revising the
 tate educational system at the hear ng before a Legislative committee tuesday, reason was substituted for DitternesS and the atmosphere sur
 harged with electricity noticeable at lreyious hearings was absent In
 tead, those who were sufficiently in-
 crested to attend the hearing re- |ealed an honest desire to get at the bot of the situation and improve the |ohool system.
 From remarks made at the hearing By responsible men it is evident that he incumbent State Board of Educa- jon does not meet requirements. Howell Cheney, member of the soard, stated that the people had lost Confidence in it's activities. Senator Dillon told the committee that There sB something wrong in that office. Peo- Ble here know about it. If they would @ft the lid today you would hear something not very pleasant" From inc foregoing testimony it is obvious ahat a change is needed. Jnfortun- stely those who are straining to brin g bout this change have not been able so satisfy the critics although it is be- keYed a great advance has been made a-s the storm which assailed the Nor kison Code has abated to a consider sble extent.

 The most positive statement yet made concerning the origins of the constitution of tho league of nations comes from Hamilton Holt in a speech in New York. He speaks with some authority because of his prominence in tho earlier period of the movement t for a league and his opportunities to gain information at Paris. Answering the charge that the covenant is a British documcnt,' he says:
 This is not correct. 1 read in ad- vance the draft brought to Paris by Lord Robert Cecil. It was the most admirably worked out document of any presented by the delegations.
